I've got ahold ahold of your hand and you've got a boat I could float on dry land and you've got a heart as full as a hole and you were something baby but you got old and when the walls are falling all around you and the bottles break and make that sound do you go running scared or do you take what's left and try to make it whole well I've gotten more from wanting than I ever got from getting and there was a time when I wanted everything till I got something and watched it all burn and when the walls are falling all around you and the bottles break and make that sound do you go running scared or do you take what's left and try to make it whole you can't have it 'lessen I give it and you can't fix me cause you're broke I've got ahold ahold of your hand and you've got a boat I could float on dry land and you've got a heart as full as a hole and you were something baby but you got old and when the walls are falling all around you and the bottles break and make that sound do you go running scared or do you take what's left and try to make it whole try to make it whole try to make it

They lay together in fields of heather swim in water slow and deep drained from the mountainside alive they spin into forests so green her belongs to her she belongs to him but not like women not like men like flowers to a garden oh like leaves to a limb takes one to complete one garden or a limb I believe in I believe in I believe in love again Eyes full of wonder heart full of love and she'll never have to wonder she'll never question if the one she loves would stay forever this time the way he looks at her tells her that he needs her and then he says the words he'll never leave her and says please love just stay forever this time takes one to complete one garden or a limb I believe in I believe in I believe in love again takes one to complete one garden or a limb I believe in I believe in I believe in love again I believe in I believe in I believe in love again

For a Night 03:34
It's not the kind of walk you ever forget especially when it's walking away You're not the kind of girl you'll never regret and everybody says it guess I found out the hard way guess I learned it first hand I was only yours for a night I was only yours for a day so lie to me lie to me I know you will so lie to to me and say that you care I waited out here for hours just to talk to you in the sidewalk light somebody stepped outside locked the door and said goodnight they said you were already long gone down the interstate I was only yours for a night I was only yours for a day so lie to me lie to me I know you will so lie to to me and say that you care now you're gone now you're gone away from me now you're gone now you're gone away from me now you're gone now you're gone away from me I was only yours for a night I was only yours for a day I was only yours for a night I was only yours for a day I was only yours for a night I was only yours for a day I was only yours for a night I was only yours for a day

Sweet Marie 03:19
Today is tonight in a violet sky in a key the west was won a weary maid waits outside the gate I call her to come inside show yourself to me up close so that I can see your sin it's the wondering not the wandering that brings me to my knees oh sweet Marie oh sweet Marie it's a cavalier heart that brings her here a die that's cast in time if she follows me there to the end of the world then safely she'll arrive it's still the wondering not the wandering that brings me to my knees oh sweet Marie oh sweet Marie

Swampland 04:01
I'm gonna make this mistake I'm gonna make it with everything that's I've got and I'm warning you now I'm gonna push till it breaks I'm gonna trade in this swampland for some wide open space cause it was easy to fall wasn't easy to make my way back to the place where we were you left me crying out you left me crying out in the night you left me crying out you left me crying out in the night I'm gonna just be around I'm gonna just keep my feet so close to the fire there's no telling me now I'm gonna just wait it out I'm gonna find out how many times a heart breaks cause I've got no reason to leave here but can't find a reason to stay you left me crying out you left me crying out in the night you left me crying out you left me crying out in the night you left me crying out you left me crying out in the night you left me crying out you left me crying out in the night

My parents taught the fear of God spoil the child if you spare the rod and every night I'd say a little prayer say if I die before I wake I pray the Lord my soul to take for he has built a place for me on high but Jesus ain't listenin' tonight the devil came and took my soul and left without a fight Jesus ain't listenin' tonight I swear I said my prayers but Jesus ain't listenin' tonight just a boy in my teens much to learn or so it seemed I was carrying on with a local girl she said things are getting late and I said yeah but wait I've got a friend that I can call for this but Jesus ain't listenin' tonight the devil came and took my soul and left without a fight Jesus ain't listenin' tonight I swear I said my prayers but Jesus ain't listenin' tonight well I've said prayers for lots of things health and wealth and the Sox to win even asked forgiveness for some sins I've prayed for love I've prayed for peace but just one look at the middle east will tell you all you really need to know Jesus ain't listenin' tonight the devil came and took my soul and left without a fight Jesus ain't listenin' tonight I swear I said my prayers but Jesus ain't listenin' tonight Jesus ain't listenin' tonight the devil came and took my soul and left without a fight Jesus ain't listenin' tonight I swear I said my prayers but Jesus ain't listenin' tonight Jesus ain't listenin' tonight the devil came and took my soul and left without a fight Jesus ain't listenin' tonight I swear I said my prayers but Jesus ain't listenin' tonight Jesus ain't listenin' tonight the devil came and took my soul and left without a fight Jesus ain't listenin' tonight I swear I said my prayers but Jesus ain't listenin' tonight

Old Man 03:55
My old man and I we've kicked that dust up a time or two just looking for some common ground it's proven hard to find I guess that's probably cause he's found his truth and I've quit searching for mine and these days it's something I can hold inside my hand and these days it's something I can see with my own eyes we don't talk about it now just lay our weapons down we don't talk about it now just lay our weapons down now it's not fair to say what's the point in sharing all these big bright stars when they don't mean the same to me as they do to you but they're still lovely from both points of view maybe we could talk about that or even something a little more familiar to you or even about the one who don't come around anymore we don't talk about it now just lay our weapons down we don't talk about it now just lay our weapons down we don't talk about it now just lay our weapons down we don't talk about it now just lay our weapons down we don't talk about it we don't talk much about anything we don't talk about it we don't talk about it we don't talk about it now just lay our weapons down we don't talk about it now just lay our weapons down

Over You 07:40
How many times will I get over you without getting over you how many times How many times will I get over you without getting over you how many times I was thinking how you'd lay with me in the wintertime and I was hoping you would sit with me in the summertime it was always you you know no one else would do honey yeah you always had my heart now there's grey inside your eyes where used to shine so bright now there's doubt each time you look at me you used to know me you knew me How many times will I get over you without getting over you how many times How many times will I get over you without getting over you how many times
