White Lightning
04:01
|
|||
Blow me down
The ground that I'm standing on
Is coming apart right under my feet
Storm's a-brewing over the mountains
Hold me now, I'm shaking like a leaf
White lightning
Your love is danger
Strikes without warning
Never to return
And that fire, it's still burning
Since I saw you, I knew I had to have you
I'd cross any line, commit any crime
But my love, yes my love
Could never hold you down
Cause you can't bottle up
White lightning
White lightning
You love is danger
Strikes without warning
Never to return
And that fire, it's still burning

Boys and Girls
02:44
|

Take my picture, I won't remember
My face when I'm shriveled up
Old and grey
Tell me sister, that life of leisure
Was it ever worth the heavy price
You had to pay
And all the boys were lying
And all the girls were crying
That hushed up secret, why do you keep it?
Show me yours and I promise
I will show you mine
This little habit, that little cigarette
The things we do, things we do
Just to pass the time
And all the girls were heartbreakers
And all the boys were undertakers
And all the girls with pretty faces
and all the boys with their untied laces
Bang, bang on the drum
On the drum oh
Bang, bang on the drum
On the drum oh
And all the boys were lying
And all the girls were crying

Who Was I
03:51
|
|||
Buried my heart
Buried my heart
Six feet down
I buried my heart
Buried my heart
Six feet underground
That's where I'll be found
'Til spring comes around
Who was I to blame you
For wanting something else
Who was I to blame you
For holding back yourself
I was shattered
I was made unwhole
and I was tattered
I had lost my soul
You held the cards
You held my heart
You held the cards
You held my heart
Who was I to blame you
When we fell apart
Who was I to blame you
For holding back your heart
For every moment of doubt
I will scream and I'll shout
You won't hold me down anymore
Put my heart in the ground

Looking For A Friend
03:48
|
|||
Someone once told me
The worst thing in life is to end up lonely
I'm looking for a friend for the end of the world
Looking for a friend for the end of the world
You might say it's crazy
But I only want someone to call my baby
I'm looking for a friend for the end of the world
Looking for a friend for the end of the world
The mountains may tumble
And the heavens may crumble
I'm looking for a friend for the end of the world
Looking for a friend for the end of the world
Thunder and lightning
Take my hand and you won't frightened
I'm looking for a friend for the end of the world
Looking for a friend for the end of the world
One day when you're looking back
You'll wonder where I am at
But you'll be gone from my mind
You be gone from my mind

Soft as the wind blows
Like a ghost upon a breeze
Your words drift to my ears
And ring endlessly
Always on my mind, always on my mind
Sunlight through the window
It shines upon your face
With golden lips you leave a kiss
I can still feel its trace
Always on my mind, always on my mind
Always on my mind, always on my mind
Cause we're still dreaming
We're still dreaming of yesterday
The seasons change, and so must I
But in your arms, it's still summer time
Cause we're still dreaming
We're still dreaming our lives away
Soft as the wind blows
Like a ghost upon a breeze
Your words drift to my ears
And ring endlessly

Dead Man Blues
02:18
|
|||
You're a dead ringer
For a dead man I once knew
With your hands in your pockets
And the holes in the souls of your shoes
And a look in your eye
That says you don't give a damn
If you live or die
Cause you're a wanted man
Could be a trick of the light
Or maybe I ain't right in my mind
You're a dead man walking
A man like you's got nothing left to lose
A man like you's got everything to prove
A girl me never stood a chance
Though your heart's like ice
I'm in the palm of your hands
Could be a trick of the light
Or maybe I ain't right in my mind
You're a dead man walking
Oh you're gonna break down
And oh they're gonna get you now
You're a dead ringer
For a dead man I once
With your hands in your pockets
And the holes in the souls of your shoes
And a look in your eye
That says you don't give a damn
If you live or die
Cause you're a wanted man
Could be a trick of the light
Or maybe I ain't right in my mind
You're a dead man walking
Could be a trick of the light
Or maybe I ain't right in my mind
You're a dead man walking

To Be Near You
03:39
|
|||
Far as the eye can see
Near enough now to touch
There's magic all around
Sure as the sun will rise
Long as the day is mine
I will always love you
If you kiss me I won't
Tell a soul I promise I won't
If you say that you love me
Fast as this car will drive
Before the morning comes
We'll dance among the stars
Upon this dewy bed
We'll sleep a thousand years
Come here grow old with me love
In the morning I won't
Shed a tear I promise I won't
If you say that you love me
Under moonlight I call you softly
In the nighttime I dream you near me
Under moonlight I call you softly
In the nighttime I dream you near me
To feel your love

Forget Me Not
04:04
|
|||
The world is taking over
The weight is setting in
You're under my skin
It's time I should be going
The train draws ever near
But I hold on my dear
Would you hold me in your arms
Could you keep me in your heart
And don't you ever forget
Blot the stars out with my fingers
Erase the moonlight with my eyes
Throw the night in total darkness
So you can't see when I cried
After you left yeah after you left
And every time you speak my name I falter
And ever time you touch my hand I wonder
Could someone this great really be true
And could you think of me like I think of you
Cause I can never forget
Hey wait now
Cause I can never forget
She saw you first
But I wanted it worse

The Hunter
03:28
|

If it's hunting season
Well then my heart is the kill
I thought that you could love me
But I guess you never will
If it's me you've set your sights on
Then be sure your aim is true
Cause I don't wanna live
without you
And don't be the one
To mount my heart on a wall
And don't shoot me down
Just to watch me fall
So you've got me in your crosshairs
But don't pull that trigger dear
I've got some things to tell you
But they're words you'll never hear
I was once the hunter
Now the hunted I've become
She'll leave you too
When she's done
And don't be the one
To mount my heart on a wall
And don't shoot me down
Just to watch me fall
It doesn't matter now
It never mattered then
That you could never love me
It doesn't matter now
It never mattered then
That you would never love me
You shot me down
You shot me down
You shot me down

Ship Goes Down
04:35
|
|||
Why can't I let myself be
Happy with someone who cares for me
I wanna know why
And why do I build up these walls
So no one can see me
And why do I build these walls high
So no one can see me
I wanna know why
The ship goes down in sight of land
Why can't I let myself be
Happy with someone who cares for me
I wanna know why
The ship goes down in sight of land

Sometimes I think if I knew best
I would've let you be
instead of beg for second chances
And still it just may be my curse
To need to be with you
Only to hold my tongue
Hey what's the catch
In this game
No I won't bother
To ask you to tell
Whatever you want me to be
Whatever you want me to be
I could but I shouldn't
Yet I can't just walk away
Somehow the miles pass me by
And still I try to figure
How the hell it was we got here
I use this friendship like a crutch
Haven't the slightest idea
Just what part of me
You're holding up
All the same I still need you
To have, to hold
Whatever you want me to be
Whatever you want me to be
I could but I shouldn't
Yet I can't just walk away
