"When You Find The One"

"When You Find The One"


Well I was a slick midwestern gal
On a long hard road into southern cal
Didn't find any crime fillin' up all my time
I had the devil in my bones and an angel on my mind

And I drank up all the movies and I searched for happy endings
I turned love inside out till I was perfectly pretending
Still I believed it could be true

That when you find the one
There's no question in the silence
All is said and done when you find the one
When you find the one

Yeah you could say that I was crazy I was that kinda girl
I had to open up a lot of oysters before I found myself a pearl
I had to kiss a lot of frogs to find my grass was green enough
Had to be face down in the gutter to see what is and isn't love

Then I woke from all the dreaming to your taste and to your laughter
I cried till I was dry and now live my ever after
I believe I always knew

When you find the one
There's no question in the silence
All is said and done when you find the one
When you find the one

And when you make the choice to believe in your existence
With hello you will know when you find the one

I believe it could be true
Yes I believe I always knew
And I believe it could be true
And believe i always knew

When you find the one
There's no question in the silence
All is said and done when you find the one

And when you make the choice to believe in your existence
With hello you will know when you find the one

With hello you will know

"Will You Still Love Me"

"Will You Still Love Me"


The sky is too high to paint tonight
The wind is too strong to hold on to
I climb on your roof and call out your name
Somebody stole my silver shoes

Now the show must go on, and on and on and on

[Chorus:]
Will you still love me anyway
Will you still need me when you're victorious
Will you still want me when I've nothing to say
Will you still love me anyway

I am in the big top on the live wire
Under the gun, over the fire
I'd swim up so high, like a swan I would dive
Someone took my net, and buried me alive

And the crowd screams for more - Encore, Encore

[Chorus]

Oh I, I need to know why
Doesn't love die
What becomes of life
When does it begin
And tell me how's it end
When your carved into my carved into my carved into my skin

Will you still love me anyway

[Chorus]

"Yes I Am"

"Yes I Am"


In these days and these hours of fury
When the darkness and answers are thin
Lovers come and check out in a hurry
Shallow and hollow again
Come lay your body beside me
To dream to sleep with the lamb
To the question your eyes seem to send

Am I your passion your promise your end
I say I am
Yes I am
Your passion your promise your end
Yes I am

Barring divine intervention
There is nothing between you and I
And if I carelessly forgot to mention
Your body your power can sanctify
Come feed your hunger your thirst
Lay it down the beast will die
You can question my heart once again

Am I your passion your promise your end
I say I am
Yes I am
Your passion your promise your end
Yes I am

I will stand firm in the tempest
I will ride destinys' trail
To believe when the truth comes up empty
To hold and respect without fail
Come and be one in the motion
A desire they cannot comprehend
Never to question again
For I am your passion your promise your end
Oh yes I am

"You Can Sleep While I Drive"

"You Can Sleep While I Drive"


Come on baby let's get out of this town
I got a full tank of gas with the top rolled down
There's a chill in my bones
I don't want to be left alone
So baby you can sleep while I drive
I'll pack my bag and load up my guitar
In my pocket I'll carry my harp
I got some money I saved
Enough to get underway
And baby you can sleep while I drive

We'll go thorough Tucson up to Santa Fe
And Barbara in Nashville says we're welcome to stay
I'll buy you glasses in Texas a hat from New Orleans
And in the morning you can tell me your dreams

You know I've seen it before
This mist that covers your eyes
You've been looking for something
That's not in your life
My intentions are true
Won't you take me with you
And baby you can sleep while I drive

Oh is it other arms you want to
Hold you the stranger
The lover you're free
Can't you get that with me

Come on baby let's get out of this town
I got a full tank of gas with the top rolled down
If you won't take me with you
I'll go before night is through
And baby you can sleep while I drive

"You Used To Love To Dance"

"You Used To Love To Dance"


Lying in a city night
A million fingers tingling my skin
Out thee in the sea tonight
I thought I saw you clutching your sin
You rolled me over long ago
And told me you were strong enough to go
You needed more than this lover's dream
You need the steel and the concrete beams in your life
In your life

We laughed and drank in the jukebox light
And we tore the rug in that downtown dive
Every Saturday night
For fifty cents we'd dance all night long
And each new tune we said that's our song
Oh it felt so right
Well ecstasy ain't free
But compromise is chance
I remember how
You used to love to dance

They told me you have found your love
You moved in locked up and put out your blues
Well all God's children got to grow up
And play house make vows to hang up their shoes
Do you sit and talk over coffee cups
Do headline mornings satisfy and fill you up
I kept your eyes and your cigarette kiss
You couldn't keep the lies the adrenalin bliss in your life
In your life

We laughed and drank in the jukebox light
And we tore the rug in that downtown dive
Every Saturday night
For fifty cents we'd dance all night long
And each new tune we said that's our song
Oh it felt so right
Well ecstasy ain't free
But compromise is chance
I remember how
You used to love to dance

I'm gonna go out tonight
I'm gonna drive up to the hill
I'm gonna dive on into those city lights
And I'm gonna dance, dance
Dance till I get my fill

We laughed and drank in the jukebox light
And we tore the rug in that downtown dive
Every Saturday night
For fifty cents we'd dance all night long
And each new tune we said that's our song
Oh it felt so right
Well ecstasy ain't free
But compromise is chance
I remember how
You used to love to dance

"You Will"

"You Will"


Looking down life's long road
Thinking you've got so far to go
Kickin' over tricycles getting to your bicycles
Hittin' up the kick stand look Mama no hands
They tell you two and two make four
But you know life is so much more
You keep hearing no but you're ready for the show

If you think you'll never make it you will
If you think you're gonna break it you will
The journey is on and if you don't know the song
You will you will you will

Time is just a slinky toy
Rolling down the stairs for joy
Everybody gets there this I know
Honey you can take it slow

If you think you'll never make it you will
If you think you're gonna break it you will
The journey is on and if you don't know the song
You will you will you will

You are what you believe
And if you believe
Then you will see

Lookin' down life's long road
Your dreams will show you which way to go
And if you meet a mountain move it to the side
Climb it to the top you can take it for a ride
You will, you will, you will, you will

And if you don't know just how much I love you
And if you don't know all I will do for you
If you don't know just how for I'm gonna go
You will you will you will

"Your Little Secret"

"Your Little Secret"


I know what you're thinking baby
I used to be just like you
You move when she's not looking baby
One sugar ain't enough for you

You, you're taking out your loans
You're burying your bones
Before your cover's blown
You better take it home

I like the way you look
I know you like me
But one and one and one
Baby makes three
Stop playing those eyes
If you want me to keep
Your little secret

Tell it softly to me baby
You never meant no one no harm
Your wonderland's a mirror baby
It's swiftly fading like your charm

You, you're stepping out of line
You're spilling all the wine
Leave it on the vine
I can't give you mine

I like the way you look
I know you like me
But one and one and one
Baby makes three
Stop playing those eyes
If you want me to keep
Your little secret

I could I won't
I can't I don't
You make it hard
Talk down my guard
My senses soaked
My ego's choked
I will not lie
Will not lie...
