"Someone Somewhere Tonight"

"Someone Somewhere Tonight"



Someone somewhere tonight
Is taking their first steps
Letting go of the hands that held them
And trusting themselves
An' somewhere somewhere tonight
Is hearing their last rites
And prayin' with all their might
That there's something else.

So, baby, lie down here beside me
Let's lie real still
An' tell me you love me
And you always will.

Someone somewhere tonight
Is tasting their first kiss
Whisp'ring softly this wish
For this night to go on
While someone somewhere
Is holdin' on to a bottle
Pourin' one more an' hopin' that God will
Get them through till the dawn.

So, baby, lie down here beside me
An' let's lie real still
An' tell me you love me
And you always will, (yeah)

Someone somewhere tonight
Is stuck in a prison
Breathin' but just barely livin'
Behind walls of their own
Ooh, an' someone somewhere tonight
Just found their own wings
An' found some beauty, an' found some meaning
(They found some truth.)
Found some truth in spite of it all.

So, baby, lie down here beside me
An' let's lie real still
An' tell me you love me
And you always will.

And you always will...

"Something's Burning"

"Something's Burning"


You lie in gentle sleep beside me
I hear your warm and rhythmic breathing
I take your hand and hold it tightly
Listen - can you not hear our young hearts gently beating
I kiss the sleep from your eyes
Your smile is sweeter than the morning, and here it comes

Can't you feel it baby
Can't you feel it, here it comes
Feel it, feel it
Fire, fire

Somethin's burnin'
Somethin's burnin'
Somethin's burnin'
And I think it's love

And now the sun is burning brightly
We lie in love so close together
I get the feeling deep inside me
My love for you will burn forever
I cup my hands to touch your face
And once again I feel your fire, and here it comes

Can't you feel it baby
Can't you feel it, here it comes
Feel it, feel it
Fire, fire

Somethin's burnin'
Somethin's burnin'
Somethin's burnin'
And I think it's love

And I think it's love, love
And I think it's love
And I think it's love, love
And I think it's love
And I think it's love, love
And I think it's love
And I think it's love, love
And I think it's love

"Somewhere Between Lovers And Friends"

"Somewhere Between Lovers And Friends"



Somewhere between lovers and friends
Well, baby, tonight if we take it any closer
We might sleep right off the edge
We gotta stay here
Somewhere between lovers and friends.

We gotta hold back (our love will be stronger)
Hold back (stay a little longer)
Somewhere between lovers and friends.

Moonlight dancing in our eyes tonight
About to lose our self control
I think we'll both know when the time is right
So right now let's both admit it
We got trouble if we forget it, we're ….
Somewhere between lovers and friends.

We gotta hold back (we're heading for the fast lane)
Hold back (we got trouble if we don't stay)
Somewhere between lovers and friends.
I think we'll both...

We gotta hold back (it's gonna make our love stronger)
Hold back (we gotta stay a little longer)
Somewhere between lovers and friends .

We gotta hold back (we're kind a-heading for the fast lane)
Hold back (we got trouble if we don't stay)
Somewhere between lovers and friends.

"Son Of Hickory Holler's Tramp"

"Son Of Hickory Holler's Tramp"



The corn was dry, the weeds were high when Daddy took to drinkin'
Then him and Lucy Walker, they took up and run away
Mama cried a tear and then she promised fourteen children
I swear you'll never see a hungry day.

When mama sacrificed her pride the neighbours started talkin'
But I was much too young to understand a thing they said
The things that mattered most of all was Mama's chicken dumplin's
And a goodnight kiss before we went to bed.

Oh, the path was deep and wide from footsteps leading to our cabin
Above the door there burned a scarlet lamp
And late at night a hand would knock and there would stand a stranger
Yes, I'm the son of Hickory Holler's tramp.

When daddy left and destitution came upon our family
Not one neighbour volunteered to give a helpin' hand
So let 'em gossip all they want, she loved us and she raised us
The proof is standin' here, a full grown man.

Last summer Mama passed away and left the ones who loved her
Each and every one was more than grateful for their birth
Each Sunday she receives a fresh bouquet of fourteen roses
And a card that says The greatest Mom on earth.

Oh, the path was deep and wide from footsteps leading to our cabin
Above the door there burned a scarlet lamp
And late at night a hand would knock and there would stand a stranger
Yes, I'm the son of Hickory Holler's tramp.

Oh, the path was deep and wide from footsteps leading to our cabin
Above the door there burned a scarlet lamp
And late at night a hand would knock and there would stand a stranger
Yes, I'm the son of Hickory Holler's tramp.

Oh, the path was deep and wide from footsteps leading to our cabin
Above the door there burned a scarlet...

"Starting Again"

"Starting Again"



Pretending again
I think we both know this is the end
We can try it again
But we better face it
Losing again
I know we both thought this time we'd win
But you can't take thing and just erase it.

Could it be we talked too long
Maybe we should start off being friends
And try it again.
Could it be we both were wrong
Maybe we should sing our song again
And rewrite the end, start it again.

Start it again
Not looking for love, needing a friend
And knowing inside it's gonna be better
Laughing again
And thinking how wrong we were back then
We're happy again and this is forever.

Now we know we both were wrong
Aren't you g lad we sang our song again
To rewrite the end and start it again.
We start love, love, love
Start it again.

"Starting Today, Starting Over"

"Starting Today, Starting Over"



You're the first one I thought of
But the last one I turn to
I wouldn't bother you but I need help.

We were so good back then
There must be something loved
You said you'd always stand by me.

Can I lean on you now after all that we've been through
Did we throw it all away?, is it gone?
Do you need me somehow, is there something I can do?
Can we try another way?
Starting today, starting over.

You used to believe in me,
The thought of what used to be
I wish you could see how much I've changed

It took a lot of time
For me to realize
I just can't make it on my own.

Can I lean on...

"Still Hold On"

"Still Hold On"



If I told you tonight that I loved you
Would you walk my way
Would you say
Lies I wanted to hear

If I told you tonight that I need you
Would you break my heart
Would you start
Tearin' me down again

I feel so lonely when I'm with you
But I'm so lonely when you're gone
I can't live with you, I can't live without you
But I still hold on, I still hold on

If I told you tonight I was leavin'
Would you call my name
Take the blame
Turn it all around again

'Cause you know I love you
And it's worth the heartache
We curse the heartbreak we make
But I still hold on

I feel so lonely when I'm with you
But I'm so lonely when you're gone
I can't live with you, I can't live without you
But I still hold on, I still hold on, oh yeah

Hey, I feel so lonely when I'm with you
But I'm so lonely when you're gone
I can't live with you, I can't live without you
But I still hold on, I still hold on

If I told you tonight that I loved you
Would you walk my way
Would you say
Lies I wanted to hear

If I told you tonight that I need you
Would you break my heart
Would you start
Tearin' me down again

I feel so lonely when I'm with you
But I'm so lonely when you're gone
I can't live with you, I can't live without you
But I still hold on, I still hold on

I still hold on, I still hold on
Still hold on, still hold on

"Sunshine"

"Sunshine"



Sunshine, you may find my window
But you won't find me
And sunshine, I've got my friend of darkness here
Tonight to hide me.

So sunshine, as far as I'm concerned
I'm where I want to be
And sunshine, as far as you're concerned
Don't be concerned for me.

'Cause she doesn't love me anymore
She doesn't want me, Lord
She doesn't need me anymore
She grew tired of chasing rainbows
But I loved her true
And God you know I tried.

And I guess she was right
'Cause I'm at the end
I found the part but there's no golden sun.

So sunshine, can't you see I'm not alone
Don't bother me
And sunshine, pick up your dawn
And move on down the street...

"Sweet Little Jesus Boy"

"Sweet Little Jesus Boy"



(Swee-ee-ee-eet)

Sweet little Jesus boy
They made You be born in a manger
Sweet little Holy child
They didn't know who You were.

Didn't know You'd come to save us Lord
To take our sins away
Our eyes were blind
And we could not see
We didn't know who You were.

A long time ago
You were born in a manger, Lord
Sweet little Jesus Boy (Sweet Jesus boy)
Now the world treated You mean, Lord
And it's been treatin' me mean too
But that's how things are done now, yeah (Sweet)
We didn't know it was You.

You done told us how
And we are a-tryin'
Master, You done showed us how (how)
Even when you were dyin' (when you were dyin')
It just seems like we can't do right (do right)
Look how we treated you, yeah
Please, please, forgive us Lord
We didn't know it was you.

Sweet little Jesus boy (Sweet little Jesus)
Born a long time ago
Sweet little Holy child
We didn't know who You were...

"Sweet Music Man"

"Sweet Music Man"



I wouldn't listen and I couldn't see
And all I have left now are words you said to me,
Sing your song sweet music man,
'cos I won't be there to hold your hand like I used to,
I'm thro' with you.

You're a hell of a singer and a powerful man
But you surround yourself
With people who demand so little of you.

You touched my soul with your beautiful song,
You even had me singing along right with you,
You said I need.

Then you changed the words and added harmony
And you sang the song you had written for me
To someone new.

But nobody sings a love song quite like you do
And nobody else could make me sing along
And nobody else could make me feel
That things are right when I know they're wrong
(that things are right when you're wrong with the song)
Nobody sings a love song quite like you.

Sing your song sweet music man
You travel the world with a six piece band
That does for you what you ask 'em to.

And you try to stay young
But the songs you've sung to so many people
They've all begun to come back on you.

So sing your song sweet music man,
You're making your living doing one night stands,
That prove to you they don't need you.

You're still a hell of a singer but a broken man,
But you're keep on looking for one last fan
To sing 'em to.

But nobody sings...
So sing your song sweet music man
I believe in you.
