We Work In Circles
I begged you to quit drinkin', put the damn bottle down. And the last time I went lookin', there was evidence to be found. Well, I thought that the moon glowed for us when we were together, And I thought the stars shine for me and mine, Oh, but the wind chimed in just in time, And I know you're gonna be fine, but I hate to leave you behind. And you knew the snow was comin' before you came into town, And you knew that you were runnin' before your feet hit the ground. Well, I thought that the moon glowed for us when we were together, And I thought the stars shine for me and mine, Oh, but the wind chimed in just in time, And I know you're gonna be fine, but I hate to leave you behind. And we don't have to work in circles just 'cause everything else does! So when you quit drinkin', and you put that bottle down, Oh, look me up! It's possible that I may be around, Oh, and just because you've lost me, it doesn't mean you can't be found! We don't have to work in circles just 'cause everything else does. Milky Way
Milky Way: as intimidating as the shadow of the earth on the moon. And you can jump and flail your arms around, do cartwheels barely touch the ground, it's when you look up and see that the shadow stays still, You realize you're smaller than an ant on an anthill. Milky Way: I've been thoughtful; I've been dumb; I've felt like such a tiny crumb on a giant plate of question cake that could very easily escape into the trash. But what would my mother think of that? Milky Way: Crabs in a barrel, they pull each other down. They're a lot like the people of my former hometown. The world is your oyster, your soul is your pearl. Make me a tree with my roots planted down, with my branches lifted upward, make me hard like a church. Milky Way: Blink your eye; this all goes by; before it's over, you will know your way. |
It's Gonna Be A Good One
The day is done and long gone is the sun. Around the corner... along comes another one, But have you done all the things you said you'd done, you should have done by now? And how I hope to everything I know that this is gonna be a good one. It's gonna be a good one. It's gotta be a good one. It has gotta be a good one, The best one yet to come. Got my sights on the horizon. Another footstep... Another set of footsteps comes along, And my song: sung. Another verse to try to sing the things I should have sung by now. And how I hope to everything I know that this is gonna be a good one. It's gonna be a good one. It's gotta be a good one. It has gotta be a good one, The best one yet to come. It’s an anniversary of so much more than just one thing It’s the memories of where we've been and what they mean It’s the joy and the laughter And starting the next chapter... And it is gonna be a good one. It's gonna be a good one. It's gotta be a good one. It has gotta be a good one, The best one yet to come. |
Saying Nothing
You say nothing You say nothing at all. Keep in touch, we'll always keep in touch, til it hurts too much. So I came to, and I told you the truth. They were right; For me you would not fight...not at all. And you say nothing You say nothing at all. Our time has passed us by I guess at last And maybe I will never see you ever again in this lifetime. And you say nothing. You say nothing. How is that fair? It's not very nice. It hurts being wrong. It's worse being right. I Really Don't Know
I might make the painting that hangs in my home, and I might like it quiet, and I might like alone. You just don't know. You really don't know much about me at all. I am just an Aunt, I am nobody's mother. When you're given the choice, it's one or the other, and I just don't know. I really don't know much about it at all. I owe much of who I am to a good-hearted man. He's seen me through some phases you would not believe, and loving him is all I can do after all that we've been through, because the road is long, and we make each other strong. I will probably change again much sooner than I would like to pretend that I will. I just don't know. I really don't know much about what's comin' at all. |
I Can Feel It
Six years ago, we set out into the cold, and we had nowhere to hide our fear And when we stepped out, there were people all around, and they had nothing to dry our tears. And when I remember that day, Oh, I can feel it, I can feel it. When I remember that day, oh I can feel it I can feel it. Sitting on your steps, we talked about what to do next, it wasn't clear, we didn't know Lightening in the sky, bloodshot weathered stormy eyes, we headed home, we were not sure where to go. And when I remember that day, Oh, I can feel it, I can feel it. When I remember that day, oh I can feel it I can feel it. And sometimes I would swear I see you everywhere I go Yeah, sometimes I would swear I see you everywhere I go You looked me in the eye as we were waving our goodbyes, We knew it then, all we'd need to know. Life would carry on, the birds would sing their mourning songs for us to hear And to follow. And when I remember that day, oh I can feel it, I can feel it. When I remember that day, oh I can feel it, I can feel it. |
