Lonely Man
04:32
|
|||
He wasn't his Mama's favorite Nor his Daddy's too
He was born in the middle Times of attention were too few
So he started his great adventure During World War Two
There were people dying all around But his luck it stuck like glue
But he was a lonely man yes he was such a lonely man
All his life never did quite understand why he was such a lonely man
Everyone hitching up So he married choice number two
Cause the one he truly loved Didn't wait for him to move
But his wife she couldn't give him The love he needed her to
Hung with Mr Dewars Another night to make it through
Cause he was a lonely man yes he was such a lonely man
He got it in his head that money was the cure
Wash that son of an immigrant stain, make him pure
He'd take all that cash he'd wave it in their face
Finally he'd be even for all his perceived disgrace
Got to join all those grey suits 'Cause he knew how to swing those sticks
Led to that one connect That eventually made him rich
Now three sons and a home with a view of the 5th green
Finally now he had it made He was the American Dream
But he was a lonely man yes he was such a lonely man
He had no lack of friends as long as he was buying the rounds
Throw his money at stranglers just so they'd stick around
Left his sons to find their own way, not so well
Left his wife to wallow in her own private hell
Never learned he couldn't buy love Told himself lies but he'd believe
Never stopped to wonder why he was alone on Christmas Eve
Now his latest giver not a taker took him for all he had
Put him in a nursing home where he died alone and sad
Cause he was a lonely man yes he was such a lonely man
All his life never did quite understand why he was such a lonely man

Secret To Life
03:20
|
|||
In the light of the kissing moon
Heartbeat in the belly of June
Seems the dawn always break too soon
Pink red clouds float like balloons
I know that I told you
This time I’d keep it light
You know I’m always a good boy
I try to do what’s right
The secret to life
Is known by all
To love and be loved
Just answer its call
In the light of the blood red moon
Autumn breeze scatters skies of June
Seems the dusk always fades too soon
Sun sets like a big red balloon
Don’t matter what I tell you
Its a slow walk into the light
Wake up one day and say oh boy
Never too late to do it right

Walk Out On Me
03:50
|
|||
Just you walk out on me yeah yeah
You just walk walk walk walk walk out on me
Kept no secrets, told just a couple of lies
But God I loved you when I looked into your eyes
Used me to hurt the one you truly care for
Now he’s calling and you’re out that door
So just you walk, out on me yeah yeah
You just walk walk walk walk walk out on me
The words you said, you know they didn’t quite ring true
I told myself not to fall in love with you
Fate made sure, never had a chance from the start
still in all it kind of tore at my heart
To watch you walk out on me yeah yeah
You just walk walk walk walk walk out on me
You say you’re sorry as you as you tear my insides out
Don’t want your pity, that isn’t what it is all about
Just want to find a love that could really last
someone to make me care less about the past
And how you walked, out on me yeah yeah
You just walk walk walk walk walk out on me
Not really heartless, just afraid of what you’d find there
I did my best to pretend I did not care
You took everything, I didn’t have the good sense to hide
Given the chance you would have even taken my pride
So just you walk, out on me yeah yeah
You just walk walk walk walk walk out on me
You say you’re sorry as you as you tear my insides out
Don’t want your pity, that isn’t what it is all about
Just want to find a love that could really last
someone to make me care less about the past

Diamond In The Moonlight
04:02
|
|||
I know you’re leaving
I guess it’s that time
But I won't grieving no no no
I’m gonna watch you shine
And I know you’re gonna be all right
You’re a diamond in the moonlight
I savor those memories
Of the years gone by
Those well worn stories
Some even make me cry
But I know that you're gonna be all right
You’re a diamond in the moonlight
Realize it’s necessary to let you go
And this empty feeling, try not to let it show
Seems just yesterday
You were holding my hand
Soon you’re going to say
You’ve found another man

Bobby Said

|

Bobby said I've seen the end of the world and you know it looks just like this
But it's not the end of everything just everything that you know
I can see God on a cloud in the sky on top of the world watching the world roll by
Distrust drives the world apart it brings us down and breaks our heart
But hey hey it's all right
Money honey is your only friend
All dressed up and nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run and no place left inside
Inside this head of mine
I'm Good now
Bobby said We can lose ourselves not find our way back home
So hard to make these big dreams come true, Holding on is the hardest thing to do
Left me here in the twilight zone lost and looking for a way to get back home
This is the way life's supposed to be and theres a reason that you just can't see
But hey hey it's all right
Money honey is your only friend
All dressed up and nowhere to hide
Nowhere to run and no place left inside
Inside this head of mine
I'm Good now
But hey hey its alright
Oh and I can't change your mind
I tried so hard I did my best
It took me some time I must confess
Growing older like the rest
I'm Good Now

My Old Pair Of Shoes
03:26
|
|||
I know There is something wrong here
You won’t tell me It’s written in your eyes
And I see That you're lonely
I heard you crying In the middle of the night
And you
Your daddy’s little girl Walking in my old pair of shoes
I’ve been down that road before It isn’t only you
You think I couldn’t understand
How your feeling How could I even know
But I’ve had My darken days
I know what it’s like When the fear come from inside
I’m here Here to tell you
It gets better Your life won’t stay the same
Believe me I wouldn’t lie to you
When I tell you Time dulls the sharpest pain
You know There is something wrong here
But you won’t talk to me I can see it in your eyes

Way Of The World
04:31
|
|||
Out of work he’d go out in a blaze of glory
Call up the TV make sure the film that whole story
Cameras rollin’ as we watch that sucker burn
Tell me children what kind of lesson did we all learn
It’s the way of the world oh yeah just the way of the world uh ha
Way of that world, way of that world
Last night a bachelor he’d go out and have himself a little fun
Him and his buddy rape a deaf mute woman on the Art Institute lawn
At the reception everybody said that bride she sure looked cute
As the police hauled him away still wearing his monkey suit
It’s the way of the world oh yeah just the way of the world uh ha
Way of that world, way of that world
I don’t understand it, it don’t make no sense to me
You tell there’s justice I don’t believe it I just know it ain’t true
It’s the way of the world oh yeah just the way of the world uh ha
Way of that world, way of that world
Fourteen years old and the child is going to have herself a child
She won’t believe it if you told her you know she’d just get riled
A bottle of wine and she knelt in front of that speeding train
Made the sign of the cross as Amtrak took away her pain
It’s the way of the world oh yeah just the way of the world uh ha
Way of that world, way of that world
I don’t understand it, it don’t make no sense to me
You tell there’s justice I don’t believe it I just know it ain’t true
Way of the way of the world now Way of the way of the world now
Way of the way of the world now Way of the way of the world now

Song For Hannah
03:18
|

Go to sleep my little one
Don’t let fear own you
Dream the dreams your life will be
Don’t you cry my little one
Let go of that sadness
Grab your hopes and set them free
Your smile is like the morning sun
Keeps me warm and happy ‘til the day is done
You breath new life in me
Make want to be all I can be
And for you, you know I’ll be
Who loves you more than me
Who sees in you things that someday will be
I have no doubt it’s all within your reach
Just open your heart and believe
Don’t you fret my little one
Outside the storms are raging
But you’re safe here in my arm
Don’t you worry my little one
Yeah this world is crazy
But you’ll crush it with your charm
It’s all ahead of your my little one
It’s all ahead of your my Luna Girl

Lucky
03:10
|
|||
I guess I’m just a lucky man
Been so all my life
Yes I’ve had my sleepless nights
I’ve had my times of strife
But still I am a lucky man
I’ve been so all my life
The sweetest girl is in love with me
And she became my wife
You want to know
What makes me so special
I cannot say
I’ve stumbled like we all do
Can’t show you the way
Cause I haven’t got a clue haven’t got a clue
I guess I’m just a lucky man, just a lucky man
I guess I’m just a lucky man
Been so all my life
Got myself a good job
They’re treating me alright
I guess I’m just a lucky man
Been so all my life
Surrounded by my family’s love
Laughter in the moonlight

Dead Inside
02:57
|
|||
I know I asked you to leave me
You said it isn’t right
I know that you won’t ever believe me
Can no longer live this life
Yeah I know this road will be lonely
Yeah I know I’ll slip and I’ll slide
But I hope at the end of this journey
That I won’t be dead dead inside
Was it just about the money
I guess I’ll never know
And I guess what is truly funny
Don’t care any more

Don't You Lie To Me
02:49
|
|||
Don’t you lie to me Tell me how one plus none equals three
You lied to my face That’s not a memory that will easily erase
You wasted your whole life Waiting on that big pay day
So glad I’m not in your shoes
Now that you realize you’ve thrown your life away
How do you sleep at night
Tryin’ to justify want you’re doin’ is right
You’re stealing from your kin
Surely that’s the meaning of Original Sin
You wasted your whole life Waiting on that big pay day
So glad I’m not in your shoes
Now that you realize you’ve thrown your life away
Have you got no shame
Right now you’re probably saying someone else is to blame
But you know you lied
You can run from the truth but you cannot hide
I guess it all started years ago, When they wouldn’t let you fall
Never learned to stand on your own
So you spent your whole life just learning how to crawl
So don’t you lie to me don’t you lie
I saw you lie to me I saw you lie I saw you lie
I saw you lie I saw you lie

Back To Me
03:19
|
|||
I thought I’d never live a lonely life
The day I asked you to be my wife
Shit happens yeah I know its true
But now I’m sitting here missing you
But I know that some day you’re coming back to me,
to me
And I believe that it can be as good as it used to be, you and me
I know that you don’t love no one else
Except the ones we created ourselves
Shit happens yeah I know its true
So here I sit missing you
I guess I could be a better man
Believe me I’m doing the best I can
I never cheated, told just a couple of lies
But I don’t ever want to say goodbye
I understand life pulls people apart
But your everything to me
It’s still there deep in our hearts
And I believe that some days you’re even missing me

Feel Like Going Home
02:35
|
|||
She’s so far away
Her smile haunts me everyday
But I’m out here by myself
Only her touch could help
I feel like going home
To the one that I know loves me
I feel like going home
Any blind man can see
I just need to go home, home
I just need to go home
Another sleepless night
Without her arms to hold me tight
And I’m paralyzed by my fears
Did God I wish she was here
I feel like going home
To the one that I know loves me
I feel like going home
Any blind man can see
I just need to go home, home
I just need to go home
