"Lady Magdelene"

"Lady Magdelene"



The man on the right is a man undone
He'd give you his soul
If you asked him for some
A child in his way for he needs to believe
That love is a song for each man to sing

The man on the left is a prize un-won
A candle unlit and a song unsung
Believing that love is a dreamer's dream
The man on the left,
The me in between

Lady Magdelene,
I can hear your distant trumpet
Calling from the morning mountain
Singing to the passing river
Take me home,
Show me peaceful days
Before my youth has gone

The man in between waits between the two
Not hearing the lie and not seeing the true
Unknowing what is and denying what seems
And there he will sleep
The man in between

Lady Magdelene,
I can hear your distant trumpet
Calling from the morning mountain
Singing to the passing river
Take me home,
Show me peaceful days
Before my youth has gone

Lady Magdelene,
Make the sound of silent thunder
Calling from the lips of Abraham
Make a sound that we may wonder,
Where we are
Take us to your soul
For we have wandered far

The man on the right was a man undone
The man on the left like a prize unwon
And God only knows
What their time will bring
Or what will become
Of the man in between

"Lady-Oh"

"Lady-Oh"



Lady-oh, Lady-oh,
I walked the streets again last night
I saw you in the city light
Like a vision,
Lady-oh

Lady I, Lady I,
I've been waitin' around
Such a long, long time
Believin' I could make you mine
Just wanting you
Lady-oh

But here I am and there you are
Much too far to even hear me
Hurts a lot,
You know it does, it hurts a lot
Oh, Lady-oh,
Am I gonna ever learn
What I never learned, before

City lights, city lights
Burn so warm and they burn so bright
But me, I walk the city night
To forget you,
Lady-oh
(saxophone)

But here I am and there you are,
Much too far to even hear me
Hurts a lot, you know it does, it hurts a lot
Hey, Lady-oh,
Am I gonna ever learn
What I never learned before

"Lay, Lady Lay"

"Lay, Lady Lay"




Lay, lady lay
Come lay across my big brass bed
And stay, lady stay
Stay while the night,
The night is still here

Whatever colors you have in your mind
I'll show them to you
And you can see them shine

Lay, lady lay
Come lay across my big brass bed
And stay, lady stay
Stay with your man
Just a little while

His clothes are dirty
But his hands are clean
And you're the best thing
He's ever seen
And stay, lady stay
Stay with you man
Just a little while
Til the break of day

Come on, let me see you
Make him smile
Why wait any longer
For the world to begin
You can have your cake
And eat it too
Why wait any longer
For the one that you love
Why he's standing right in front of you

Come lay, lady lay
Come lay across my big brass bed
And stay, lady stay
Stay while the night is still ahead....

"Leave A Little Room For God"

"Leave A Little Room For God"



Leave a little room for God
As you're goin' through the day
Leave a little room for God
You know he won't get in your way

Save a little place inside
Somewhere you can call your own
Then leave a little room for God
And you won't ever be alone

Every day is so mysterious
You wonder how things came to be
And when you start to get real curious
Well, He's the man you'll want to see

So leave a little room for God
Just in case you need a friend
Everyone's got rainy days
It isn't so much if, but when

Life if like a gift we're given
Every single day is new
We're thankful for the time we're livin'
But thankful exactly to who

C'mon now,
Put your money in the bank
And drive around in a big old car
Just leave a little room for God
Or it won't take you very far

Yeah, leave a little room for God
As you're goin' down the road
He'll not only point the way
He's gonna help you with the load

Yeah, leave a little room for God
And thank your lucky stars above
That He'll be leaving room for you
He's always got some room for love
Leave a little room for God, my friend
And He'll have room for you
Just need to leave a little room for him too

"Let It Be Me"

"Let It Be Me"




I bless the day I found you
I want my arms around you
And so I beg you: Let it be me.

Don't take this heaven from one
If you must cling someone
Now and forever, let it be me.

Each time we meet, love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love, what would life be?

So never leave me lonely
Tell me that you love me only
And say you'll always let it be me.

"Let Me Take You In My Arms Again"

"Let Me Take You In My Arms Again"



You'd be better off, I know
With another kind of man
All I got is what I feel
And what I feel is what I am

So let me take you in my arms again
Let me take you in my arms, and then
Let me see behind your smile
Let me love you like a child
Let me take you in my arms

I'm like a train that's rolling on a track
Like a train that's got no turnin' back
Let me keep you from the storm
Let me make you safe and warm
Let me take you in my arms

You'd be better off, I know
With another kind of man
All I got is what I feel
And what I feel is what I am

Let me take you in my arms again
Won't be easy, but I'll learn to bend
Like a ship without a sail
On a sea without a trail
Let me take you in my arms

You'd be better off, I know
With another kind of man
All I got is what I feel
And what I feel is what I am

Let me take you in my arms again
Won't be easy, but I'll learn to bend
Like a ship without a sail
On a sea without a trail
Let me take you in my arms

Let me take you in my arms again
Let me take you in my arms, and then
Let me see behind your smile
Let me love you like a child
Let me take you in my arms

Let me take you in my arms again
Let me take you in my arms, and then
Let me see behind your smile
Let me love you like a child
Let me take you in my arms

"Let The Little Boy Sing"

"Let The Little Boy Sing"



Take you back to a cotton field
In the heart of Louisiana
A little boy 'bout nine years old
Singin' songs in the heat of the day

But Mama cried when her little boy sang
She knew he could be someone special
Mama cried 'cause the way that it was
He would only be wasted away

Then his Mama would pray
And every night she would say
Help the boy if you can
Take 'em Lord by the hand

And let the little boy sing
Got a feeling that takes you home
Got a melody on his own
Let the little boy sing

Let the little boy try
Let the little boy by
He can take you along
On the wings of his song
Let the little boy fly

Take you back to New Orleans
Where the music wakes up with the city
To the bars by the railroad cars
On the neon side of town

Sang a song on the city streets
And people began to listen
Southern boy, sing your southern song
You sing it like no one around

And nobody walked by without feelin' high
Never heard it before
But they've been calling for more

Let the little boy sing
Got a melody on his own
Got a feeling that takes you home
Let the little boy sing

And let the little boy fly
Let the little boy try
He can take you along
On the wings of his song
Let the little boy fly
Then he'll take you away

"...Ladies and Gentlemen!
The Superdome is proud to introduce
The little boy with the soul of the south!"

Let the little boy sing
Got a feeling that takes you home
Got a melody all his own
Let the little boy sing

Let the little boy try
Let the little boy by
He can take you along
On the wings of his song
Let the little boy fly

Just let the little boy sing
Got a feeling that takes you home
Got a melody on his own
Let the little boy sing

"Like You Do"

"Like You Do"



Love never doubts or suffers or cries
Love shows no fear, love tells no lies
And love would never leave me in the dark
No, love never breaks my heart
Like you do, like you do

Love doesn't have unapproachable walls
Or a heart that beckons
And then withdraws.
And love would never steal my dignity
Love has never made a fool of me
Like you do, like you do, like you do

Oh, and I have know times
When love seems unsure
But when love is unkind
It is not love anymore
Love never threatens or frightens me
It's not held together with apologies
Love never screams my name
No, and love never turns away
Like you do, like you do

And I have know times
When love seems unsure
But where love may be unkind
Love never turns away
Like you do,
Like you do,
Like you do,
Like you do

"Listen"

"Listen"



Listen
You don't even know my name
But I wear it just the same
And you know I won't be long
Will you listen to my song

Listen
Play it here with my guitar
Gonna make someone a star
You can even sing along
When you listen to my song

Hang on
Got a different kind of sound
Moving up to higher ground
Would you listen, listen, listen
Would you listen to my song

Listen
Do you hear the sound of change?
Like a distant rolling train
But it won't be distant long
Would you listen to my song

And I know
Got a bumpy road ahead
But the music makes my bed
Would you listen, listen, listen
Would you listen to my song

Listen
Listen

Listen
Listen

Say friend,
Do you know a place inside
Where a boy could spend a night
Well you know it won't be long
When they listen to my song

And I know
Got a bumpy road ahead
But the music makes my bed
Would you listen, listen, listen
Would you listen to my song

Listen
Listen

Listen
Listen
Listen to my song

Come they told me,

To lay before the King,

That's fit to give the King,

Shall I play for you,
