Walkin' Alone

lady why are you walkin’ alone
in the shadows of your little world
i would dive to the depths of the sea
just to find you cuz’ you are a pearl
we could have so much to share
if you dare to talk to me girl
slow your pace, show your face
and reward me for havin’ the nerve
oh the nerve, the nerve
you mysterious lady with curves
please reward me for havin’ the nerve

To Be Mine

I know what I’m wantin’ girl
I know what I like
I know what I’ll sacrifice
for someone who’s right
you say you got baggage girl
believe me so do I
your heart can’t take pain no more
tears fell and dried
but I see right through you girl
to someone who I
could excavate from ancient pain
and bring delight
and you turn me sideways girl
into someone so full of life
so give your heart to me
if you’re ready to be mine
oh to be mine
to be mine

The mountain brings me joy and love and security too
and that’s where I’d remain had I not laid my eyes on you
you’re out beyond the beach with depths that I could hardly reach
but I would rather drown than never know
So between the mountain and the sea
I’ll be wading to see you again
between the mountain and the sea
I’ll be waitin’ to see you again

Goin' Back

girl what you sayin’
how could sunlight so strong just fade
i know people change
but does the soil we prepared remain
a heart doesn’t turn in a day
it don’t work that way
so i assume you saw this comin’ but didn’t say
and that don’t feel right
and it’s almost worse that you don’t wanna fight
i’m never goin'
never goin'
back
i’m never goin'
never goin '
never goin'
back
but wait a minute
do your emotions relate to the signs you’ve been beaming at me
it’s like sometimes you want me to stay and you show more than words can say
but if we must go
our separate ways then tell me so
but make up your mind
and I wish you better luck than I with mine
never goin’
never goin’
back
i’m never goin' back to you
that was the one window - we’re through
i’m never goin' back to you
no matter the color of the glass you’re lookin' through (repeats)
but when I feel
feel alone
I hope you find your way home
and when i feel feelings strong
i hope you find your way home
and when I feel that you’ve been away
or it’s too late
why can’t you be in my arms
lady why can’t you be in my arms

When Will There Be Peace
01:14
|
|||
|
when will there be peace in my home
when will there be peace in my home
so we can mend
the strains that are tearing us apart
oh when will there be peace in my home

i look in your eyes
and i see reflections
of women passing by
girl I can’t seem to find much focus in my mind
I love your smile
but would I be faithful if I tried
when I fly away from love
to keep moving along again
i fly, fly away from love to keep moving along again
i long to be content n’ happy
and live my life in peace
with or without a lady
i yearn to be productive and free
be good to those around me
and fly away from love
to keep moving along again
to fly fly away from love
to keep moving along again
(then she says)
but you lied to me
showed me fantasies
helped me make believe
that you’d stay with me
you lied to me
gave me fantasies
and then selfishly you fly
fly away from my love

Shouldn't Be

in so many ways I just can’t understand
how are we in touch again
at first it feels like way back when
they we self-destruct and end
we’re enemies who once were friends
there shouldn’t be an 'us'
oh no there shouldn’t be an us no more
so show me the way so I can understand
how what I’m like and all you’ve planned
can satisfy both our demands
why would we start this up again
your confidence is contraband
there shouldn’t be an us
no no no shouldn’t be an us
there shouldn’t be an us
oh no shouldn’t be an us no more
but if heaven’s a place then I’m your promised man
affiliation notwithstanding
reconciled as one again
runnin’ free and holding hands
eternally in love
but ’til we are above
shouldn’t be in love
there shouldn’t be an us
oh no shouldn’t be an us no more
so get your stuff out
get your stuff out of my house baby
so get your stuff out please
get your stuff out take it straight to the curb
get your stuff out please don’t say a word
just leave
imma’ call two moving trucks for him and for her
imma’ go soon but you can go first
please

far off where it’s lonely here where I lay
i’m haunted by mem'ries to this very day
to love was a nightmare
the agony of waitin’ on someone to leave me
there’s so many out there
who promise first
but life can surprise you
and contracts can curse
so waitin’ for romance
the way i see
is just waitin’ on someone to leave me
the eyes make it simple
you know what’s there
but the mind’s like an ocean
go deep if you dare
i’ll be on my island
so patiently waitin’ on someone who left me
