Rock This Girl
{ Written by Jann Arden Richards/Russell Broom }
Hey lover friend of mine
When you kiss me I feel fine
When you love me good like you do
Oh lover feels so free
When you're here on top of me
When you got my head in your hands
You rock this girl
Hey lover shut your mouth
They're gonna hear you scream and shout
Don't forget your momma's upstairs
Hey lover close your eyes
Baby let me rock-a-bye
Gonna take you where she won't dare
You rock this girl
You rock this girl
Oh lover burn me up
Don't you ever never stop
Show me what it's like to get high
Hey lover hold me down
Push my body round and round
Give me everything I desire
You rock this girl
I saw you outside your house
Your head it was hanging down
You were walking your girlfriend's dog
I'd forgotten how gray your hair was
Roll over the pain over the years
Roll over the heartbreak and the tears
Roll over the times I know we cried
Roll over the not saying goodbye
I will remember how hard we tried
I'll roll over the not saying goodbye
I tried calling your place last year
And I could not believe my ears
I could picture your face right then
I remembered just why I left
Roll over the pain over the years
Roll over the heartbreak and the tears
Roll over the times I know we cried
Roll over the not saying goodbye
Roll over
Roll over
Roll over
I will remember how hard we tried
I'll roll over the not saying goodbye
I saw you outside your house
Your head it was hanging down
You were walking your girlfriend's dog
If you loved me
I'd be more sure of myself
If you loved me
I'd have everything in this world I guess
If you loved me
If you loved me
If you loved me
I would not need my drunken friends
And If you loved me
my loneliness for sure would end
If you loved me
If you loved me
If you loved me
If you loved me
I would clench my hands
and hold my breath
and promise to be true
I would never speak
I'd hardly eat
I would not cost a cent
I would watch you sleep
and count your sheep
and lie beside the bed
I would never think
I'd pour your drink
I'd laugh at every joke... you... tell
Show me the way and I'll go
Give me a sign so I'll know
Put me back on the right road home
Right road home
Leave a light at the door
Keep a boat by the shore
Send a message with your heart
Let me sleep in your dreams like a sweet memory
Let the loneliness be gone
Show me the way and I'll go
Give me a sign so I'll know
Put me back on the right road home
Right road home
I can picture us now
Squinting into the sun
Holding on to every moment
Hand in hand in a field and it almost seems real
I could swear I heard you calling
Show me the way and I'll go
Give me a sign so I'll know
Put me back on the right road home
Right road home
The right road home
The right road home
The right road home
The right road home
Leave a light at the door
Keep a boat by the shore
My heart is in my hands
My head is in the clouds
My feet have left the ground
My life is turning around and round
And every voice inside my head is telling me to run like mad
Oh bows and arrows stars and sunsets
hey hey hey yeah
hey hey hey yeah
Every heartbeat, every kiss just
Makes me wonder what all this is
Suits of armour Hearts and arrows
I've got money in my pocket
I like the color of my hair
I've got a friend who loves me
Got a house, I've got a car
I've got a good mother
and her voice is what keeps me here
Feet on ground
Heart in hand
Facing forward
Be yourself
I've never wanted anything
No I've, no I've, I've never wanted anything
so bad... so bad
Cardboard masks of all the people
I've been
thrown out with all the rusted, tangled
dented God Damned miseries
You could say I'm hard to hold
But if you knew me you'd know
I've got a good father
And his strength is what makes me cry
Feet on ground
Heart in hand
Facing forward
Be yourself
I've never wanted anything
No I've, no I've, I've never
wanted anything so bad...
so bad
I've got money in my pocket
I like the color of my hair
I've got a friend who loves me
Got a house, I've got a car
I've got a good mother
and her voice is what keeps me here
Feet on ground
Heart in hand
Facing forward
Be yourself
Heart in hand
Feet on ground
Facing forward
Be yourself
just be yourself
just be yourself
Feet on ground
Heart in hand
Feet on ground
You could say this was an independent love song
It's nothing like to us what love meant to them
But, that's not to say the love we have isn't big or that strong
I'm doing it a different way
I'm doing it a different way
You might say this another boring love song
To be together and forever be true
And so today it's much the same as it was then
I'm doing it a different way
I'm doing it a different way
I'll show you how to take me
Go down go down
And I'll show you how to turn me
Right on right on
And I'll show you how to touch me
Right on right on right on
Right on right on right on
Now it's fine that many men will look my way
And I'll let them take me home and let them show me the way
And sure I'll like a few but I'll leave the rest to play
I'm doing it a different way
I'm doing it a different way
I'm gonna show you how to take me
Go down go down
And I'll show you how to turn me
Right on right on
And I'll show you how to touch me
Right on right on right on
Right on right on right on
In a different way, in a different way
In a different way, in a different way
In a different way, in a different way
In a different way
I'll show you how to take me
Go down go down
And I'll show you how to turn me
Right on right on
And I'll show you how to touch me
Right on right on right on
Right on right on right on
You could say this was an independent love song
It's nothing like to us what love meant to them
But that's not to say the love we have isn't good or that strong
I'm doing it a different way
Devastatingly complimentary stay
Far away from me
With your counterfeit heart
I'm in misery
Irreversibly
Come and rescue me
From your counterfeit heart
This catastrophe won't be the last of me
If you asked me I wouldn't give it back
Who knew butterflies could ever compromise
I shouldn't be surprised at how I love you
I can't find content
I don't know where it went
Has it all been spent
On your counterfeit heart
Oh, oh, oh, oh
This catastrophe won't be the last of me
If you asked me I wouldn't give it back
Who knew butterflies could ever compromise
I shouldn't be surprised at how I love you
So take your chivalry
Fold it carefully
It wasn't meant for me
Love your counterfeit heart
Love your counterfeit heart
WhenI'm old
I'll think of all the hearts I broke
To be here with you
When I'm grey
And somewhat vague and too confused
I know I'll still remember you the very most
And all the days will wrap around our fingers
They'll hang around our hearts like bits of stars
And all the tears we've counted
All the memories we thought we linger
Disappear
They disappear
When I lay down
And close my eyes to see if Jesus died for me
And that there is a God
I'll wait for you
Beyond the lights where the darkness fights
To keep the sun from coming up
And all the days will wrap around our fingers
They'll hang around our hearts like bits of stars
And all the tears we've counted
All the memories we thought we linger
Disappear
They disappear
Can't you see
That all of me
Is inside of you
Though I'm gone
I'm like a song
That sings and sighs and coos
When I'm old
I'll sight through all the words I spoke
And picture all the happy times
I'll kiss your face
And think about all the happy times we made
With all our might
With all that love
And all the days will wrap around our fingers
They'll hang around our hearts like bits of stars
And all the tears we've counted
All the memories we thought we linger
Disappear
If I had only one
One more day to live
I'd sit in the sun
And trace my fingertips around everyone
Every heart that ever lost and found me
I'd sleep in the shade
I'd watch my mother make her pink lemonade
While my father gives the garden a spray
And I'd look at how this face has weathered
Cause life's been tethered down
Chorus
Like a storm
Like an ancient window waiting for a storm
For a home
For a hand to come and cut the rope away
Oh, will I ever be that brave?
If I had one more day
I'd eat some ice cream
Lick the bowl till it was perfectly clean
Have one last hurrah on the old tire swing
Dip my toes in as I cross the water
Only daughter down
Chorus
Like a storm
Like an ancient window waiting for a storm
For a hope
For a hand to come and cut the rope away
Oh, will I ever be that brave?
If I had one more day
Down like a storm
Like an ancient window waiting for a storm
For a kiss
For a second chance to feel like this
Like a storm, like a storm
Like an ancient window waiting for a storm
For a home
For a hand to come and cut the rope away
Oh, will I ever be that brave?
Now I've been happy lately,
thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be,
something good has begun
Oh I've been smiling lately,
dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be,
some day it's going to come
Cause out on the edge of darkness,
there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country,
come take me home again
Now I've been smiling lately,
thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be,
something good has begun
Oh peace train sounding louder
Glide on the peace train
Come on now peace train
Yes, peace train holy roller
Everyone jump upon the peace train
Come on now peace train
Get your bags together,
go bring your good friends too
Cause it's getting nearer,
it soon will be with you
Now come and join the living,
it's not so far from you
And it's getting nearer,
soon it will all be true
Now I've been crying lately,
thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating,
why can't we live in bliss
Cause out on the edge of darkness,
there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country,
I'm just living 'cause I'm obligated
I keep trying 'cause I've got to get it right
I pull the trigger but I hesitate
Lying here beside myself
I go to work 'cause I've got nothing going
I count the hours by the second in my head
The guy beside me's gonna drive me crazy
Talking 'bout his children like that
I read the paper on the bus I ride home
I see the pictures of the people who are dead
And I imagine what it must be like to
Just lay down all your debts
Everybody's gotta find a God they love
Everybody's gotta figure out the end
No one can tell you how to live forever
And who would want to in light of all of this
I go to work just to avoid tomorrow
And I'm afraid that I am losing all my hair
I told the doctor just to medicate the part of me that still is here
I'm drinking water with my whiskey these days
I'm watching William beam himself around the stars
I call my mother every second Sunday
We talk about how good things are (repeat)
You walked into the party
Like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror
As you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner, and
You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you?
Don't you?
You had me several years ago
When I was still quite naive
Well, you said that we made such a pretty pair
And that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved
And one of them was me
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and
You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you?
Don't you?
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and
You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you?
Don't you?
Well, I hear you went up to Saratoga
And your horse naturally won
Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun
Well, you're where you should be all the time
And when you're not, you're with
Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend
Wife of a close friend, and
You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you?
I remember when i was a girl
Our house caught on fire
And I'll never forget the look on my father's face
As he gathered me in his arms
And raced to the burning building out on the pavement
And i stood there shivering
And watched the whole world go up in flames
And when it was all over
I said to myself
Is that all there is to a fire?
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is
And when i was twelve years old
My daddy took me to the circus
The greatest show on earth
And there were clowns
And elephants
Dancing bears,
And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads
And as i sat there watching
I had the feeling that something was missing
I don't know what
But when it was all over
I said to myself
Is that all there is to the circus
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is
And then i fell in love
With the most wonderful boy in the world
We'd take long walks down by the river
Or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes
We were so very much in love
And then one day
He went away
And I'd thought I'd die
But i didn't
And when i didn't
I said to myself
Is that all there is to love
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep
I know what you must be saying to yourselves
If that's the way she feels about it
Then why doesn't she just end it all
Oh no. not me. I'm not ready for the final disappointment
'Cause i know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you
That when that final moment comes
And I'm breathing my last breath
I know what I'll be saying to myself
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh
Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh
Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh
Ohh ohh ohh ohh
Everybody hates Billy Wolfe because he doesn't look the way they do
He sits in the back with his patched up napsack taking the abuse
He can't even hide the bruises inside, those kids can be so cruel
Everybody hates Billy Wolfe in the land of the red white black and blue
Ohh, Everybody's broken
Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh
85 years shes been livin' right here when they took her from her home
To a little white room with a cup and a spoon and the dress that she had on
Nobody came, they'd forgotten her name, it's like she disapeared
She's just Claire Anne Marie and that's who she sees when she looks into the mirror
Ohh, Everybody's broken
Ohh, Everybody's broken
She lost her son on february one of two thousand and four
Wrong place, wrong time, yeah life became a landmine right outside her door
There used to be kites and strings of lights to decorate her skies
Now clouds of smoke just shroud the hope and all she can do is cry
Ohh, Everybody's broken
Ohh, Everybody's broken
Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh
Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh
Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh
Ohh ohh ohh ohh
Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh
Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh
(fades)
Ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohh
My heart is in my hand
My hand is in the cloud
My feet have left the ground
My life is turning around and round
Every voices in my head telling me to run like mad
Oh bows and arrows stars and sunset hey hey hey hey hey
Every heart beat every kiss just
Makes me wonder what all this is
Suits of armours hearts and arrows
Can't believe it's over
I watched the whole thing fall
And I never saw the writing
That was on the wall
If I only knew the days were slipping past
That the good things never last
That you were crying
Summer turned to winter
And the snow had turned to rain
Then the rain turned into tears upon your face
I hardly recognize the boy you are today
And God I hope it's not too late
It's not too late
'Cause you are not alone
I'm always there with you
We'll get lost together
'Til the light comes pouring through
When you feel like you're done
And the darkness has won
Babe you're not lost
When you're world's crashing down
And you cannot bare the thought
I said, baby you're not lost
Life can show no mercy
It can tear your soul apart
It can make you feel like you've gone crazy
But you're not
Well things have seemed to change
There's one thing stays the same
In my heart you have remained
And we can fly, fly, fly away
'Cause you are not alone
I am there with you
And we'll get lost together
'Til the light comes pouring through
When you feel like you're done
And the darkness has won
Babe you're not lost
When you're world's crashing down
And you cannot bare the thought
I said, baby you're not lost
Baby you're not lost
No, no
Baby you're not lost
It's like a faded
Just like the curtains in the sun
Just like the clouds I'm falling from
I let you change me
Down to the colour of my hair
Till I can't find me anywhere
Chorus
So I'm punching out walls
And tearing down paper
Cutting my bangs, yeah, sooner than later
I'm selling my soul right back to Jesus
Taking up hope and giving up weaknesss
Untangling the strings
I'm free, yeah
I'm free, yeah
I'm feeling better
Now that your stuff's out in the yard
I should send God a thank-you card
Cause he'll forgive me
Even if you never do
I never did look good in blue
Chorus
So I'm punching out walls
And tearing down paper
Cutting my bangs, yeah, sooner than later
I'm selling my soul right back to Jesus
Taking up hope and giving up weakness
Untangling the strings
I'm free, yeah
I'm free, yeah
I'm free, yeah
I'm free, yeah
I'm feeling better
I'm just living 'cause I'm obligated
I keep trying 'cause I've got to get it right
I pull the trigger but I hesitate
Lying here beside myself
I go to work 'cause I've got nothing going
I count the hours by the second in my head
The guy beside me's gonna drive me crazy
Talking 'bout his children like that
I read the paper on the bus I ride home
I see the pictures of the people who are dead
And I imagine what it must be like to
Just lay down all your debts
Everybody's gotta find a God they love
Everybody's gotta figure out the end
No one can tell you how to live forever
And who would want to in light of all of this
I go to work just to avoid tomorrow
And I'm afraid that I am losing all my hair
I told the doctor just to medicate the part of me that still is here
I'm drinking water with my whiskey these days
I'm watching William beam himself around the stars
I call my mother every second Sunday
We talk about how good things are (repeat)
Are you sleeping?
Can you hear me?
Are you dreaming?
I'm confessing, reassessing
What this all could mean
All the strangeness
I can't change this
What will be, will be
Chorus:
I don't remember who I was
Withered away with wander lust
I don't think I knew happiness
Until this, until this, until this.
All love's questions, misconceptions
Let me write them down
In a letter, sealed forever
Where they can't be found
Chorus:
I don't remember who I was
Withered away with wander lust
I don't think I knew happiness
Until this, until this, until this.
Until this is something that I'd thought I'd missed
Until this, until this
Bruised and busted
Stained and rusted
I take off, I touch down, I set sail, I run aground
I have one more for the road
It's the only thing that's keeping me afloat
I'm always gone, I'm never here
Sometimes I want to disappear with you
I'm choking on the atmosphere
Cause all I want to be is near to you
I lay down, I wake up, fill another plastic cup
I watch the news to fall asleep
It's the only place I keep you
I wanna keep you here with me
I'm sick and tired of moving round
I wonder if I'm losing ground with you
Afraid this love might dislocate
If Ican't go, If I can't stay with you
I would give it all away
I'm sick and tired of moving round
I'm not ashore, I'm out of town
I'm lonely when I'm not alone
Cause I'm out here and you're my home
Yeah, you!
Yeah, you!
Yeah, you!
Yeah, you!
I take off, I touch down, I set sail
Mr. McLennen woke up one mornin’
Picked up his paper and died
There on the floor of the General Store
Where he started each day of his life
Barbara McDougal wrote in to The Bugle
Describing the tragic events
He laid down a dollar and loosened his collar
What a beautiful day it is
So long (so long)
Farewell (farewell)
We all got a story to tell
So long (so long)
Farewell (farewell)
We all got a story
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
(Oh, oh, oh oh oh)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
Lenny Roy Parker drove off in the dark
With a beer and the joint he just rolled
Skid marks like a snake that led right to the lake
He thought, 'Man, what a weird way to go'
So long (so long)
Farewell (farewell)
We all got a story to tell
So long (so long)
Farewell (farewell)
We all got a story
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
(Oh, oh, oh oh oh)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
Donna, the lesbian sewage truck driver
Slept in her driveway again
The rocks through the windows
Threats, innuendos
Tonight would all come to an end
'Cause you don't mess with Donna
She's good and she's honest
But you'll do what you gotta do
Nobody was found
Not a word, not a sound
'Cause the Donna don't leave any clues
(Donna don't leave any clues)
So long (so long)
Farewell (farewell)
We all got a story to tell
So long (so long)
Farewell (farewell)
We all got a story to tell
So long (so long)
Good night
Don't forget to turn out the light
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
(Oh, oh, oh oh oh)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
Don't forget to turn out the light
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
Don't forget to turn out the light
When you're alone
And life is making you lonely,
You can always go downtown
When you've got worries,
All the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know, downtown
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
so go
Downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown, no finer place for sure
Downtown, everything's waiting for you
(Downtown)
Don't hang around
And let your problems surround you
There are movie shows downtown
Maybe you know
Some little places to go to
Where they never close downtown
Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
You'll be dancing with 'em too before the night is over
Happy again
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
so go
Downtown where all the lights are bright,
Downtown, waiting for you tonight
Downtown, you're gonna be alright now
(Downtown, downtown)
Downtown
(Downtown)
And you may find somebody kind to help and understand
you,
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
Guide them along
So, maybe I'll see you there
We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares
and go
Downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown, don't wait a minute more
Downtown, everything's waiting for you
Downtown (downtown) downtown (downtown)
Downtown (downtown) downtown (downtown)
You are everything
You are everything
Shooting star
You are everywhere
You are oxygen
You are medicine
You are everything that's good
About the universe
You're the galaxy
A better part of me
And there is nothing that is bigger than
The two of us
You are heavenly
You are heavenly
Bleeding heart
Hanging on your sleeve
You're a mystery
You are poetry
You are everything that makes me
Want to laugh out loud
You're the setting sun
And you're the rising one
And there is nothing that I'd ever do
To keep you down
You are oxygen
You are medicine
You are everything you dream of
When you're nine years old
You are open wide
A million tears inside
And there is nothing that I would not do
To keep you well
No there is nothing that I would not do
There was a man
A lonely man
Who lost his love
Through his indifference
A heart that cared
That went unshared
Until it died
Within his silence
And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him takes him down
And by himself, it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again
And keeping to himself, he plays the game
Without her love, it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere,
He's playing solitaire
A little hope
Goes up in smoke
Just how it goes
Goes without saying
There was a man
A lonely man
Who would command
The hand he's playing
And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him takes him down
And by himself, it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again
And keeping to himself, he plays the game
Without her love, it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere,
He's playing solitaire
And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him takes him down
And by himself, it's easy to pretend
My existence
My very life
It has changed
It ain't the same
There'll be no resistance
There is no way
That I'll go back to him
Chorus
There is nothing for me now
Not one thing that is good
That I would go back to
There is just an empty house
It's surely not a home
There's nothing I can hope for
Anymore, anymore
The Devil Won
My existence
My whole life
Is rearranged
Where is the forgiveness?
Where is the mercy that was promised me on judgment day?
Chorus
There is nothing for me now
Not one thing that is found
You never had the time for
There is just an empty yard
Some boxes in the car
And nothing I can hope for
Anymore, anymore
The Devil Won
There is nothing for me now
Not one thing that is fair
Not one thing that I care for
There is just a busted heart
A gold band in a jar
And nothing I can hope for
Anymore, anymore
The Devil Won
The Devil Won
The Devil Won
The Devil Won
The Devil Won
The Devil Won
Oh, oh, oh, oh
This is me
We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands love is a battlefield
Woah, we are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong
Searching our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield
You're making me to go, you're begging me stay
Why do you hurt me so bad?
It would help me to know
Do I stand in your way, or am I the best thing you've had?
Believe me, believe me, I can't tell you why
But I'm trapped by your love, and I'm chained to your side
We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands love is a battlefield
We are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong
Searching our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield
And if I'm losing control will you turn me away or touch me deep inside?
And before this gets old, will it still feel the same?
There's no way this could die
But if we get much closer, I could lose control
And if your heart surrenders, you'll need me to hold
We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands love is a battlefield
We are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong
Searching our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield
We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands love is a battlefield
We are strong, no one can tell us we're wrong
Searching our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Christmas all of us
Waiting to hear footsteps
You're off at war and you're fighting for
The freedom of the world
New Year's evening
Candles burning they're nearly gone
We sit with our folded hands
While you're fighting for the world
While you're fighting for the world
Easter morning
No sign of the one we love
We sit at the table
While you're fighting for the world
While you're fighting for the world
While you're fighting for the world
While you're fighting for the world
I feel like you know me
I know well I know I know you do
I've got this thing going on, inside my head
I've got this thing for you
I like your face, I like your body,
I like your feet, I like your nose,
I like your chest beneath the covers
I like your heart, I like your soul
I like your life inside me pounding, like a heart inside a dream
Inside a dreamer that's been dreaming of a perfect symphony.
I like the way you walk beside me, like a paper in the wind
The way you swing your arms so gladly
Where you end and I begin, I like everything
About you, baby I do.
I feel like you know me well
I've tried to let you see me for yourself
I feel like I'm, I'm out of my head
I've got this thing for you
I like your face, I like your body,
I like your feet, I like your nose,
I like your chest beneath the covers
I like your heart, I like your soul
I like your life inside me pounding, like a heart inside a dream
Inside a dreamer that's been dreaming of a perfect symphony.
I like the way you walk beside me, like a paper in the wind
The way you swing your arms so gladly
Where you end and I begin, I like everything
About you, baby I do.
I like your face, I like your body,
I like your feet, I like your nose,
I like your chest beneath the covers
I like your heart, I like your soul
I like your life inside me pounding, like a heart inside a dream
Inside a dreamer that's been dreaming of a perfect symphony.
I like the way you walk beside me, like a paper in the wind
The way you swing your arms so gladly
Where you end and I begin, I like everything
When you left me I was inside
Of my head for a year
All the memories that were broken
Deeply buried there
Was my heart lost in the chaos
Never to be found
When you left me I got older
I had all but died
I was weak and out of breath
I could not read at night
How you kissed me burned into my skin
Every moment worlds were crumbling in
I can still hear every whisper
I can taste your lips
Just your heartbeat and I quiver
I can picture this
All the colors bleeding from the page
Just like water pouring down my face
When you left me nothing mattered
All my life undone
Only stillness only quiet
Not one ray of sun
When you left me
When you left me
When you left me
When you left me
When you left me
Billy Ray was a preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they gathered around and started talkin'
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
Out through the back yard we'd go walkin'
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows, to my surprise
The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was
Bein' good isn't always easy
No matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
He'd come'n tell me "Everything is all right"
He'd kiss and tell me "Everything is all right"
Can I get away again tonight?
The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was (yes he was)
How well I remember
The look that was in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
Takin' time to make time
Tellin' me that he's all mine
Learnin' from each other's knowin'
Lookin' to see how much we've grown and
The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, oh yes he was
Sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man
He's a the son of a preacher man
Sweet-lovin' son of a preacher man
If I had everything I wanted
And there was nothing left to get
If every lover I had fought with
Was on their knees to get me back...
I'd be glad.
If I had everything I hoped for
If everything had gone my way
Then every tear would be a diamond
And every Dog would have his day.
I'd be glad.
Is this real life...
If I had everything I dreamed of
If every moment was sublime
All the hurts and all the heartache
Where just a figment of my mind
I learned the truth at seventeen
That love was meant for beauty queens
And high school girls with clear skinned smiles
Who married young and then retired.
The valentines I never knew
The Friday night charades of youth
Were spent on ones more beautiful
At seventeen I learned the truth.
And those of us with ravaged faces
Lacking in the social graces
Desperately remained at home
Inventing lovers on the phone
Who called to say come dance with me
and murmured vague obscenities
It isn't all it seems
At seventeen.
A brown eyed girl in hand me downs
Whose name I never could pronounce
said, Pity please the ones who serve
They only get what they deserve.
The rich relationed hometown queen
Married into what she needs
A guarantee of company
And haven for the elderly.
Remember those who win the game
Lose the love they sought to gain
Indebentures of quality
And dubious integrity.
Their small town eyes will gape at you
in dull surprise when payment due
Exceeds accounts received
At seventeen.
To those of us who know the pain
Of valentines that never came,
And those whose names were never called
When choosing sides for basketball.
It was long ago and far away
The world was younger than today
And dreams were all they gave for free
To ugly duckling girls like me.
We all play the game and when we dare
To cheat ourselves at solitaire
Inventing lovers on the phone
Repenting other lives unknown
That call and say, come dance with me
and murmur vague obscenities
At ugly girls like me
Love is a drink with a lit cigarette
Love is your mouth that's holding my breath
Love is your hand that covers my breast
Love is the only soldier left
Love is a man in a coat in the rain
Love's every little mistake that he's made
Love is the moment that he has to embrace
Love is the only mercy left
Hide me inside your heart let me wash away
Hold me beneath your body all night and day
I pray that the morning comes and with me you'll stay
Oh hide me inside your heart let me wash away
Love is a song that I sang when I'm sad
Love's what I give to the world when I'm glad
Love's every friendship that I've ever had
Love is the only soldier left
Hide me inside your heart let me wash away
Hold me beneath your body all night and day
I pray that the morning comes and with me you'll stay
Oh hide me inside your heart let me wash away
Oh hold me beneath your body all night and day
I pray that the morning comes and with me you'll stay
Oh hide me inside your heart let me wash away
Oh hide me inside your heart let me wash away
If I come back
If I return
If I can last my fate on this earth
I'll be baptized
I'll pray to them all
I'll lay down in the water and drown away my faults
Will you think of me then
When you're all alone
Or when you're with your lover
And throwing her a bone
Will you wish it was me lying in your bed
Wrapped around the covers underneath your breath
Only one only one I ever loved ever loved
The only one only one I ever loved
I'm closing my eyes
I'm biting my tongue
I'm really starting to wonder where this heartache came from
I'm lying on the tracks
I'm hearing the train
I'm praying that the Holy Ghost will save me again
Only one only one I ever loved ever loved
The only one only one I every loved
If I come back
If I find you there
I'm calling on my daddy
And he'll kill you I swear
He'll leave you in parts all over the ground
There you will stay never to be found
Only one only one I ever loved ever loved
The only one only one I ever loved
Only one only one I ever loved ever loved
The only one only one I ever loved ever loved
The only one only one
If it be your will
That I speak no more
And my voice be still
As it was before
I will speak no more
I shall abide until
I am spoken for
If it be your will
If it be your will
That a voice be true
From this broken hill
I will sing to you
From this broken hill
All your praises they shall ring
If it be your will
To let me sing
From this broken hill
All your praises they shall ring
If it be your will
To let me sing
If it be your will
If there is a choice
Let the rivers fill
Let the hills rejoice
Let your mercy spill
On all these burning hearts in hell
If it be your will
To make us well
And draw us near
And bind us tight
All your children here
In their rags of light
In our rags of light
All dressed to kill
And end this night
If it be your will
I can picture you asleep in your bed
A massive explosion of thoughts in your head
Life is complicated when you fall in love and out again
Oh I can feel you
I can hear you
I can see you in your room
Oh I can kiss you
I can taste your mouth - I can nearly touch your face
Oh how I miss you
How I miss you
How I long for your embrace
From a million miles away
I can picture you in the silver of the rain
Got my suitcase, got my dog
I'm packing up my life so far
Got my pictures, got some cash
I'm getting out of here at last
Got my hands on the wheel, got my foot on the pedal
Gonna drive? til I drop,? til the tyres turn to metal
Gonna sleep when I'm dead, gonna laugh like the devil
Gonna find some place where no one knows me
Gonna stop when the last drop of gas turns to vapor
Gonna ride? til I can't even seem to remember
Who I was when I left and it don't even matter
Gonna find some place where no one knows me
Feel the sunburn on my skin
I feel the wind whip through my grin
Took the rear-view mirror down
I wrapped it in my wedding gown
Got my hands on the wheel, got my foot on the pedal
Gonna drive? til I drop,? til the tires turn to metal
Gonna sleep when I'm dead, gonna laugh like the devil
Gonna find some place where no one knows me
Gonna stop when the last drop of gas turns to vapor
Gonna ride? til I can't even seem to remember
Who I was when I left and it don't even matter
Gonna find some place where no one knows me
Gonna find some place where no one knows me
Got my hands on the wheel, got my foot on the pedal
Gonna drive? til I drop,? til the tyres turn to metal
Gonna sleep when I'm dead, gonna laugh like the devil
Gonna find some place where no one knows me
Gonna stop when the last drop of gas turns to vapor
Gonna ride? til I can't even seem to remember
Who I was when I left and it don't even matter
Gonna find some place where no one knows me
Got my hands on the wheel
Got my hands on the wheel
Got my hands on the wheel
Gonna find some place where no one knows me
No one knows me, no one knows me
You are so far away from me my love
The distance I'm missing you I've come undone
Cuz every time I breathe it hurts and I cant find the words
You are so far away
Your kisses are wishes lost in a well
I wander around in some kind of hell
Cuz every time I breathe it burns, how my body yearns
You are so far away
Away, away
Every moment filled with anguish
Happiness a foreign language
In my mind I'm wrapped around your waist
But your away, away
My heart beats, oh so deep, I count the hours
My fingers, it lingers, all these dead flowers
Cuz every time I breathe I weep
I can not get to sleep
You are so far away
Away, away, away

![Agkistrodon piscivorus is a venomous snake, a species of pit viper, found in the eastern United States. Adults are large and capable of delivering a painful and potentially fatal bite.[citation needed] This is the world's only semi-aquatic viper, usually found in or near water, particularly in slow-moving and shallow lakes and streams. The snake is a strong swimmer and will even enter the sea, successfully colonizing islands off both the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. The common names for the species include variants on water, swamp or black 'moccasin', 'viper', 'cottonmouth', and 'rattler'.[2] Many of the common names refer to the threat display, where this species will often stand its ground and gape at an intruder, exposing the white lining of its mouth. The diet consists mainly of fish and frogs, but is otherwise highly varied and, uniquely, has even been reported to include carrion. The specific name is derived from the Latin words piscis and voro, which mean "fish" and "to eat".[3] Three subspecies are currently recognized, including the nominate subspecies described here.[4]](http://web.archive.org./web/20140703154956im_/http://cdn3.wn.com/ph/img/79/9f/04a8b026c803c72c76d158573e01-small.jpg "Agkistrodon piscivorus is a venomous snake, a species of pit viper, found in the eastern United States.
