Early Morning Riser - Pure Prairie League

Early morning riser

I can still feel all your sunlight shine before the dawn

First light morning feeling

I Told You So - Keith Urban

You said you needed your space

I wasn't where you wanted to be

I didn't stand in your way

I only want you to be happy

And so how surprised am I to see you here tonight

CHORUS:

Well can't you see

That for worse or for better we're better together

Please just come back home

No don't say that you're sorry

And I won't say I told you so

Sometimes in our life

We get to where we wonder if

The long road that we're on

Is headin' in the same direction

When it comes to you and me

We're right where I know we should be

CHORUS:

Oh can't you see

That for worse or for better we're better together

Please just come back home

No don't say that you're sorry

And I won't say I told you so

Somtimes it's like we're deep in nothing but love

The slightest thing can grow so foolishly

Remind me please

Oh can't you see

That for worse or for better we're better together

Please just come back home

No don't say that you're sorry

You don't gotta say you're sorry baby

Oh can't you see

That for worse or for better we're better together

Please just come back home

No don't say that you're sorry

And I won't say I told you so

And I won't say I told you so

But I told you so

Shoulda known better than to leave me baby

Shoulda known better than to leave me darlin'

South of the border,

Eric Clapton - Let it Rain

The rain is falling through the mist

Of sorrow that surrounded me.

The sun could never thaw away

The bliss that lays around me.

Let it rain, let it rain,

Let your love rain down on me.

Let it rain, let it rain,

Let it rain, rain, rain.

Her life was like a desert flower

Burning in the sun.

Until I found the way to love,

It's harder said than done.

Chorus

Now I know the secret;

There is nothing that I lack.

If I give my love to you,

You'll surely give it back.

Chorus

[MrsTaborJet]

i've been looking so long at these

pictures of you that i almost believe that they're real

i've been living so long with my pictures of you that

i almost believe that the pictures are all i can feel

remembering you standing quiet in the rain as

i ran to your heart to be near and we kissed as

the sky fell in holding you close how i always

held close in your fear

remembering you running soft through the night you were bigger

and brighter and whiter than snow and

screamed at the make-believe screamed at the

sky and you finally found all your courage to

let it all go

remembering you fallen into my arms crying

for the death of your heart you were stone

white so delicate lost in the cold you were

always so lost in the dark

remembering you how you used to be slow drowned you were

angels so much more than everything oh hold

for the last time then slip away quietly open

my eyes but i never see anything

if only i had thought of the right words i could

have held on to your heart if only i'd thought of

the right words i wouldn't be breaking apart all

my pictures of you

looking so long at these pictures of you but i

never hold on to your heart looking so long for

the words to be true but always just breaking

apart my pictures of you

there was nothing in the world that i ever

wanted more than to feel you deep in my heart

there was nothing in the world that i ever

wanted more than to never feel the breaking

apart all my pictures of you

Brother Cane

And Fools Shine On

-|-

Come and see me

Can't you see me

It's so easy

To believe in you

I believed in you

Your intention, my addiction

Fear no evil

You'll be safe in here, I was saved in here

And fools shine on

Where fools shine on

Want tomorrow, no tomorrow

Come together

Only here and now, and I need it now

Walk the narrow, straight and narrow

Look behind me

There's a light out there, in your light I stare

Where your eyes won't open

Fade or divide

Peace, from the darkest hours

Bathe in your light...

[MrsTaborJet]

Do you remember chalk hearts melting on a playground wall

Do you remember dawn escapes from moon washed college halls

Do you remember the cherry blossoms in the market square

Do you remember I thought it was confetti in our hair.

By the way didn't I break your heart?

Please excuse me, I never meant to break your heart

So sorry, I never meant to break your heart

But you broke mine.

Kayleigh is it too late to say Im sorry?

And Kayleigh could we get it together again?

I just cant go on pretending that it came to a natural end.

Kayleigh, oh I never thought I'd miss you

And Kayleigh I thought that we'd always be friends

We said our love would last forever

So how did it come to this bitter end?

Do you remember barefoot on the lawn with shooting stars

Do you remember loving on the floor in Belsize park

Do you remember dancing in stilettoes in the snow

Do you remember you never understood I had to go.

By the way, didn't I break your heart?

Please excuse me, I never meant to break your heart

So sorry, I never meant to break your heart

But you broke mine.

Kayleigh I just wanna say Im sorry

But Kayleigh Im too scared to pick up the phone

To hear you've found another lover to patch up our broken home.

Kayleigh I'm still trying to write that love song

Kayleigh its more important to me now youre gone

Maybe it will prove that we were right

Or it will prove that I was wrong.

[MrsTaborJet]

Started talking and the line went dead

Never heard a single word you said

Babe I said I

[MrsTaborJet]

She can kill with a smile

She can wound with her eyes

She can ruin your faith with her casual lies

And she only reveals what she wants you to see

She hides like a child,

But she's always a woman to me

She can lead you to love

She can take you or leave you

She can ask for the truth

But she'll never believe

And she'll take what you give her, as long as it's free

Yeah, she steals like a thief

But she's always a woman to me

Oh--she takes care of herself

She can wait if she wants

She's ahead of her time

Oh--and she never gives out

And she never gives in

She just changes her mind

And she'll promise you more

Than the Garden of Eden

Then she'll carelessly cut you

And laugh while you're bleedin'

But she'll bring out the best

And the worst you can be

Blame it all on yourself

Cause she's always a woman to me

--Mhmm--

Oh--she takes care of herself

She can wait if she wants

She's ahead of her time

Oh--and she never gives out

And she never gives in

She just changes her mind

She is frequently kind

And she's suddenly cruel

She can do as she pleases

She's nobody's fool

And she can't be convicted

She's earned her degree

And the most she will do

Is throw shadows at you

But she's always a woman to me

--Mhmm--

warm bodies, I sense

are not machines that can only make money

past, perfect, tense

words for the feeling and all I've discovered

I'll be along son

with medicine supposed to, designed to

make you high

I'll be along son

with words for a felling and all I've discovered

old, bad eyes

old, bad eyes

old, bad eyes

on loneliness comes

go see the foreman, go see the profiteer

on loneliness drives

we're takin' our time movin' sh*t for

this holy slime

old, bad eyes

old, bad eyes

old, bad eyes, almighty fear

the shepherd won't leave me alone

he's in my face and I

the shepherd of my days

and I want you here by my heart

and my head, I can't start till I'm dead

warm bodies, I sense

are not machines that can only make money

past, perfect, tense

words for the feeling and all I've discovered

old, bad eyes

old, bad eyes

old, bad eyes, almighty fear

the shepherd won't leave me alone

he's in my face and I

the shepherd of my days

and I want you here by my heart

and my head, I can't start till I'm dead

(shepherd) here I am locking horns with a stallion

failing to hold my head up, I'll go back again

pillar of davidson feeling too hard to go down

cheaper than all the souls he will walk upon

deeper and deeper in love so I'll hold my head up

cheaper than all the souls he will walk upon

pillar of davidson, feeling too hard to go down

Kazakhstan, greatest country in the world. All other countries are run by little girls.

Kazakhstan number one exporter of potassium. Other countries have inferior potassium.!!

[MrsTaborJet]

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside

I'm not one of those who can easily hide

I don't have much money but boy if I did

I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no

Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show

I know it's not much but it's the best I can do

My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song

It may be quite simple but now that it's done

I hope you don't mind

I hope you don't mind that I put down in words

How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss

Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross

But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song

It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do

You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue

Anyway the thing is what I really mean

Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

[#27TheDominator]

Hey you, good lookin' female.

[MrsTaborJet]

Hey you, good lookin' female.

Yes? I'm here... Wazzup?!!!

Not much. Making dinner. What's up with you?

[MrsTaborJet]

Not much. Making dinner. What's up with you?

I'm getting OUT OF THE HOUSE! It may be cold, but the sun is shining and I can't waste another Saturday. Going to spend the day with my sister and the new twins. They are so sweet, it's amazing!

[BUM-KNEE]

Sometimes I do - by Social Distortion

Sometimes I like you and

Sometimes I don't, I feel like I'm

Gonna and then I won't.

Sometimes I wanna live to see a

Hundred, other times I wanna lay

Down and die.

Sometimes I do and sometimes I dont (4 times)

Sometimes I'm weak

And sometimes I'm strong,

You know that I've loved ya all

Along. Sometimes I'm rich and

Sometimes I'm poor, nothing

Really matters when you're dead

On the floor.

Sometimes I do and sometimes I dont (4 times)

Sometimes I'm hot

And sometimes I'm cold,

Sometimes I feel like I'm getting

Old. Sometimes I'm fast and other

Times I'm slow, other times

I don't even want to go.

Sometimes I do and sometimes I dont (4 times)

Sometimes I laugh and sometimes I cry, other times I sit and

Wonder why. Sometimes I'm up

And sometimes I'm down, other

Times

I wanna blow this town.

[Boozer76]

h, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?

Oh, where have you been, my darling young one?

I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains,

I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways,

I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests,

I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans,

I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard,

And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard,

And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?

Oh, what did you see, my darling young one?

I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it

I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it,

I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin',

I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin',

I saw a white ladder all covered with water,

I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken,

I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children,

And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,

And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?

And what did you hear, my darling young one?

I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin',

Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world,

Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin',

Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin',

Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin',

Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter,

Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley,

And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,

And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed son?

Who did you meet, my darling young one?

I met a young child beside a dead pony,

I met a white man who walked a black dog,

I met a young woman whose body was burning,

I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow,

I met one man who was wounded in love,

I met another man who was wounded with hatred,

And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,

It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Oh, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son?

Oh, what'll you do now, my darling young one?

I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin',

I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest,

Where the people are many and their hands are all empty,

Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters,

Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison,

Where the executioner's face is always well hidden,

Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten,

Where black is the color, where none is the number,

And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it,

And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it,

Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',

But I'll know my song well before I start singin',

And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,

It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

[MrsTaborJet]

I love the time and in between

the calm inside me

in the space where I can breathe

I believe there is a

distance I have wandered

to touch upon the years of

reaching out and reaching in

holding out holding in

I believe

this is heaven to no one else but me

and I'll defend it as long as I can be

left here to linger in silence

if I choose to

would you try to understand

I know this love is passing time

passing through like liquid

I am drunk in my desire...

but I love the way you smile at me

I love the way your hands reach out and hold me near...

I believe...

I believe

this is heaven to no one else but me

and I'll defend it as long as

I can be left here to linger in silence

if I choose to

would you try to understand

Oh the quiet child awaits the day when she can break free

the mold that clings like desperation

Mother can't you see I've got

to live my life the way I feel is right for me

might not be right for you but it's right for me...

I believe...

I believe

this is heaven to no one else but me

and I'll defend it as long as

I can be left here to linger in silence

if I choose to

would you try to understand it

I would like to linger here in silence

if I choose to

would you understand it

would you try to understand.

"I got swiss army sponsors coming out to see my knife fights...." - Grand Buffet

"Santa Claus once picked me up after school, we had some drinks, we shot some pool. Told me that he's not a one woman man, said hes got a few, they understand. Over dinner we talked about things, he ordered ribs, I got wings. He said he fancied the girl in my life, asked if she me if she could be his for a night. How could I say no to ole Saint Nick, he fills up my stocking with beautiful gifts....

Santa santa santa got my girlfriend pregnant this Christmas.

Oooooo oooooo

Thats not what I had on top of my wish list.

Noooo noo oooooo.

Its quarter to three,

There's no one in the place 'cept you and me

So set em up Joe

I got a little story I think you oughtta know

Were drinking my friend

To the end of a brief episode

So make it one for my baby

And one more for the road

I know the routine

Put another nickel in that there machine

I'm feeling so bad

Won't you make the music easy and sad

I could tell you a lot

But you gotta to be true to your code

So make it one for my baby

And one more for the road

You'd never know it

But buddy I'm a kind of poet

And I've got a lot of things I wanna say

And if I'm gloomy, please listen to me

Till its all, all talked away

Well, that's how it goes

And Joe I know you're gettin' anxious to close

So thanks for the cheer

I hope you didn't mind

My bending your ear

But this torch that I found

It's gotta be drowned

Or it soon might explode

So make it one for my baby

And one more for the road

[vanDoug]

Evelyn, a modified dog

Viewed the quivering fringe of a special doily

Draped across the piano, with some surprise

In the darkened room

Where the chairs dismayed

And the horrible curtains

Muffled the rain

She could hardly believe her eyes

A curious breeze

A garlic breath

Which sounded like a snore

Somewhere near the Steinway (or even from within)

Had caused the doily fringe to waft & tremble in the gloom

Evelyn, a dog, having undergone

Further modification

Pondered the significance of short-person behavior

In pedal-depressed panchromatic resonance

And other highly ambient domains...

Arf she said

[MrsTaborJet]

Don't let your mind get weary and confused

You will be still, don't try

Don't let your heart get heavy child

Inside you there's a strength that lies

Don't let your soul get lonely child

It's only time, it will go by

Don't look for love in faces, places

It's in you, that's where you'll find kindness

Be here now, here now

Be here now, here now

Don't lose your faith in me

And I will try not to lose faith in you

Don't put your trust in walls

'Cause walls will only crush you when they fall

Be here now, here now

Be here now, here now

[MrsTaborJet]

My eyes have dried, my hands are tied

Nothing I can say

If you feel the need to go

I won't stand in your way

Sit and think

Drown in drink

Sing this sad, sad song

You can bring me flowers, baby

When I'm dead and gone

Fate has played his hand so cruel

There ain't nothing I can do

You say you lost your love for me

Me my love for you

Sit and cry

And say goodbye

And sing this sad, sad song

You can bring me flowers, baby

When I'm dead and gone

So when you're lying in his arms

Think of me and know

The choice you made it free and clear

It cost me a heavy toll

Sit and think

Drown in drink

And sing this sad, sad song

You can bring me flowers, baby

When I'm dead and gone

[MrsTaborJet]

I'm so into what your giving and it feels so good to me

You're beautiful and critical it's hard to live without you, baby

When I wake up in the morning all I want to see is you

Heaven's blessing that he sent me unconditional and true

Girl you mean the world to me and I hope you understand

I will give you anyhthing and I'll do the best I can to make you see what I see

Always there when I was going through all kinds of changes

You kept me lifted, said I'm gifted and you know I'm gonna make it

So when you're tired and frustrated you can always count on me

Girl I love ya and I want ya to know I'll be all you need

Well the movie star, well she crashed her car.

But everyone said she was beautiful even without her head.

Everyone said she was dangerous.

Well the chief of police kept the crime off the streets.

But deep in his heart, we all knew he felt differently.

We all knew he was an anarchist.

Well I'd

I'd like to devour you

But you

You'd prob'ly

Devour me.

For your golden head, for your oat bran hair.

Deep in my heart

Girl you're a beautiful animal

I'll put a tag on your ear.

The Quest lyrics

I

[SoFlaJets]

I am sitting

In the morning

At the diner

On the corner

I am waiting

At the counter

For the man

To pour the coffee

And he fills it

Only halfway

And before

I even argue

He is looking

Out the window

At somebody

Coming in

"It is always

Nice to see you"

Says the man

Behind the counter

To the woman

Who has come in

She is shaking

Her umbrella

And I look

The other way

As they are kissing

Their hellos

I'm pretending

Not to see them

Instead

I pour the milk

I open

Up the paper

There's a story

Of an actor

Who had died

While he was drinking

It was no one

I had heard of

And I'm turning

To the horoscope

And looking

For the funnies

When I'm feeling

Someone watching me

And so

I raise my head

There's a woman

On the outside

Looking inside

Does she see me?

No she does not

Really see me

Cause she sees

Her own reflection

And I'm trying

Not to notice

That she's hitching

Up her skirt

And while she's

Straightening her stockings

Her hair

Has gotten wet

Oh, this rain

It will continue

Through the morning

As I'm listening

To the bells

Of the cathedral

I am thinking

Of your voice...

And of the midnight picnic

Once upon a time

Before the rain began...

I finish up my coffee

It's time to catch the train

[L.S. Dylan]

good stuff

[Borgoguy]

Tenderness

I feel Your tenderness

Like fresh raindrops fulfilling my needs

Source of pleasure

You are the only One to satisfy my inmost yearning

The One who knows me

More than anyone, I'm transparent before Your eyes

The love You give me

You prove it constantly, I can't deny Your radiant love

Release Your love in me

Forever

Restore Your love in me

Faithful Father

Teach me how to avoid stumbling through life

Change me once again

Reveal Your presence, diminish my ego

Draw me closer

Let me taste Your Beauty Divine

Into Your fathom

Cleanse my eyes so I can see Your trusting love's perfection

Let my surroundings sense Your atmosphere

I'm weary of waiting for love to shine right through me

I wish to lay down my life and serve like You showed me

Forgive me Father, for being cynical in all ways

--From "Your Beauty Divine" by Extol

[Boozer76]

My eyes have dried, my hands are tied

Nothing I can say

If you feel the need to go

I won't stand in your way

Sit and think

Drown in drink

Sing this sad, sad song

You can bring me flowers, baby

When I'm dead and gone

Fate has played his hand so cruel

There ain't nothing I can do

You say you lost your love for me

Me my love for you

Sit and cry

And say goodbye

And sing this sad, sad song

You can bring me flowers, baby

When I'm dead and gone

So when you're lying in his arms

Think of me and know

The choice you made it free and clear

It cost me a heavy toll

Sit and think

Drown in drink

And sing this sad, sad song

You can bring me flowers, baby

When I'm dead and gone

On your Ray Lamontagne kick, here's another (btw, is this guy not the best songwriter of the current generation or what?)

Ray Lamontagne

Lesson Learned

Well the truth it fell so heavy

Like a hammer through the room

That I could choose another over her

You always said I was an actor, baby

Guess in truth you thought me just amateur

That you never saw the signs

That you never lost your grip

Oh, come on now

That's such a childish claim

Now I wear the brand of traitor

Don't it seem a bit absurd

When it's clear I was so obviously framed

When it's clear I was so obviously framed

Now you act so surprised

To hear what you already know

And all you really had to do was ask

I'd have told you straight away

All those lies were truth

And all that was false was fact

Now you hold me close and hard

But I was like a statue at most

Refusing to acknowledge you'd been hurt

Now you're clawing at my throat

And you're crying all is lost

But your tears they felt so hot upon my shirt

But your tears they felt so hot upon my shirt

Well the truth it fell so heavy

Like a hammer through the room

That I could choose another over her

You always said I was an actor, baby

Guess in truth you thought me just amateur

Was it you who told me once

Now looking back it seems so real

That all our mistakes are merely grist for the mill

So why is it now after I had my fill

That you steal from me the sorrow that I've earned

Shall we call this a lesson learned?

Shall we call this a lesson learned?

Lessons Learned is a great tune too. Ray has an awesome sound, just unique from anything out there now that I've heard. I first heard a song on the iO Cable Music Choice channels, 800+ and loved the song and bought the album off iTunes.

You Can Bring Me Flowers (love the bluesy feel of this one) was the song that got me hooked, then heard Be Here Now and bought the album.

Good stuff!
