Damien Rice - Grey Room


Well I've been here before
Sat on the floor in a grey grey room
Where I stay in all day
I don't eat, but I play with this grey grey food
Desole, if someone is prayin' then I might break out,
Desole, even if I scream I can't scream that loud
I'm all alone again
Crawling back home again
Stuck by the phone again
Well I've been here before
Sat on a floor in a grey grey mood
Where I stay up all night
And all that I write is a grey grey tune
So pray for me child, just for a while
That I might break out yeah
Pray for me child
Even a smile would do for now
'Cause I'm all alone again
Crawling back home again
Stuck by the phone again
Have I still got you to be my open door
Have I still got you to be my sandy shore
Have I still got you to cross my bridge in this storm
Have I still got you to keep me warm
If I squeeze my grape and I drink my wine
Coz if I squeeze my grape and I drink my wine
Oh coz nothing is lost, it's just frozen in frost,
And it's opening time, there's no-one in line
But I've still got me to be your open door,
I've still got me to be your sandy shore
I've still got me to cross your bridge in this storm
And I've still got me to keep you warm
Warmer than warm, yeah
Warmer than warm, yeah
Warmer than warm, yeah
Warmer than warm, yeah

Live.
Love.
Laugh.
Sleep Later.

Lovers CD

Heaven Help The Child

1912 in New York
I took a walk up to Park Avenue
To sip some brew with my good friend
Maggie the Bohemian
She was quite a woman of the world
I was the envy of the men
Heaven help the child heaven help the child

Paris in the ‘20’s
It can offer plenty to a young man
With a vision so they say
With a friend named Fitzgerald
I was headed for the old world
On a merchant steamer
Bound for Biscay Bay

Heaven help the child heaven help the child
Take him back to where he has never been

Nothin’ like a freight train
Get you to the city
Pick another sad song for me Jim
I hate to leave the old man
All alone to work the cotton
but the country never
Seemed to bother him

Heaven help the child heaven help the child
Take us back to where we have never been

War is hell to live with
I said to the general
As we made the battle plan
Out for the day
This will be the last one
Only God be willing
We will go back home
This time to stay

We're all building walls
They should be bridges
We're all building walls
They should be bridges

So if old acquaintance
Be forgotten and never brought to mind
Lets sip a cup of kindness
For my friends to days gone by



Mickey Newbury
Rusty Tracks/Eye On The Sparrow CD

I Don't Know What They Wanted Me To Say

People tell me how the times have changed
I tell them nothing stays the same
They smile and walk away
I don't know what they wanted me to say

I've been up and I've been down
Turned on turned out and turned around
I have been lost but thats all over now
Hope remains only God knows how

It is time for me to lay it down
Close the door and never turn around
All the good in life is free
All I have paid for was not good to me

Friends tell me how much I have changed
I tell them no one stays the same
They turn and walk away
I don't know what they wanted me to say

Autumn leaves the trees all burning red
Winter gently lays her seeds to bed
But life remains a mystery
What does a forest have to do with you and me


Mickey Newbury
Harlequin Melodies/Signs His Own CD

The Queen

Far beyond the edge of evenin'
Theres a land between the moon and the sun
Where the blessed Queen of emptiness
Her singing has begun

To soothe the savage warriors
Who feel themsleves betrayed
By the caravan of circus clowns
That joined the parade

Her melody falls gently
To where I stand below
God I listen so intently
I want so much to know

The Queens soft velvet laughter
Trips lightly through my mind
Singing once their words had meaning
But now they barely rhyme

So desperately I follow
As she leads me up a hill
Sharply tempting roses
And poison daffodils

Where a thousand velvet voices
Fill the morning air
Where we ran through the meadow
With flowers in her hair

Beyond the edge of evenin'
In the a land between the moon and the sun
The blessed Queen of emptiness
Her singing has begun


Mickey Newbury
After All These Years CD

After All These Years

Just the thought of you still takes my breath away
After all these years what more can I say
You are still the light that guides me
Through my darkest day
I still love you after all these years

Patiently you waited for so long
Stood beside me knowing I was wrong
Through all my confusion
You could hear the perfect song
I still love you after all these years

So if at times I fail to understand
If I appear so distant and so cold
Darlin’ please forgive me if you can
I never mean to hurt you
Heaven only knows I love you

After all these years what more can I say
Just the thought of you still takes my breath away
You are still the light that guides me
Even through my darkest day
And I still love you after all these years


You want real feelings in songs?
Get into discovering Newbury...

"If we have no peace,
It is because we have
Forgotten that we
Belong to each other."

- Mother Teresa

a great song

Josh Joplin Group - Wonder Wheel


It's only me the tattooed girls and the freaks
Standing here lost at sea
Old ideas and paper bones is all we are
And all we'll ever be
The sky's as gray as an old man's hat
Left behind on an empty bench
The crowds are gone and we're all alone tell me now
Does anything here make sense
I'm not sure exactly how I feel
I'm not sure exactly how I feel
I'm not sure exactly how I feel
Your happiness hardly seems real
Wonder Wheel, Wonder Wheel
Perched above this world with it's insistent tides
That wash ashore skeletons of old boardwalk rides
And feelings that haven't died
The day belongs to unfinished songs
I should've sung
And dreams I should've dreamed
Lost and found or left behind either way
We come to be redeemed
I'm not sure exactly how I feel
I'm not sure exactly how I feel
I'm not sure exactly how I feel
Your happiness hardly seems real
Wonder Wheel, Wonder Wheel

Live.
Love.
Laugh.
Sleep Later.

Casting Crowns - Who am i


Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt.
Who am I?
That the bright and morning star,
Would choose to light the way,
For my ever wandering heart.
Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am.
I am yours.
I am yours.
Who am I?
That the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again.
Who am I?
That the voice that calmed the sea,
Would call out through the rain,
And calm the storm in me.
I am yours.
Whom shall I fear?
Whom shall I fear?
'Cause I am yours.
I am yours.

Live.
Love.
Laugh.
Sleep Later.

Acceptance - Different


Tell myself, on the ride home.
Getting tired, hating all I've known.
Holding on, like it's all I have.
Count me out, when it's clear that I, find it hard to say.
And you, find it hard to care.
I wanted to see something that's different, something you said would change in me.
Wanted to be, anything different, everything you would change in me.
Got this way, upfront but never true.
God I'm wrong, it's just the way I am.
Crashing down, any chance you hear.
Caving in, any chance that you, could see inside of me.
And I don't know what to say, It's fine.
This isn't Hollywood.
So fine, getting in your way.
I wanted to see something that's different, something you said would change in me.
Wanted to be, anything different, everything you would change in me.
I'm taking a chance, this could be different.
This could be all I'm waiting for.
Taking a chance, this could be different.
This could be all I'm waiting for.
I wanted to see something that's different, something you said would change in me.
Wanted to be, anything different, everything you would change in me.
Something that's different
Something that's different

Live.
Love.
Laugh.
Sleep Later.

Three Doors Down - When I'm Gone

There's another world inside of me
That you may never see
There's secrets in this life
That I can't hide
Somewhere in this darkness
There's a light that I can't find
Maybe it's too far away...
Maybe I'm just blind...

Maybe I'm just blind...


So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared
And love me when I'm gone
Everything I am
And everything you need
I'll also be the one
You wanted me to be
I'll never let you down
Even if I could
I'd give up everything
If only for your good
So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
You can hold me when I'm scared
You won't always be there
So love me when I'm gone

Love me when I'm gone...

When your education x-ray
Can not see under my skin
I won't tell you a damn thing
That I could not tell my friends
Roaming through this darkness
I'm alive but I'm alone
Part of me is fighting this
But part of me is gone

So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared
And love me when I'm gone
Everything I am
And everything you need
I'll also be the one
You wanted me to be
I'll never let you down
Even if I could
I'd give up everything
If only for your good
So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
You can hold me when I'm scared
You won't always be there
So love me when I'm gone


Maybe I'm just blind...

So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared
And love me when I'm gone
Everything I am
And everything you need
I'll also be the one
You wanted me to be
I'll never let you down
Even if I could
I'd give up everything
If only for your good
So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
You can hold me when I'm scared
You won't always be there
So love me when I'm gone


Love me when I'm gone...

Love me when I'm gone
When I'm Gone
When I'm Gone
When I'm Gone

Hold on - Good Charlotte

This world, this world is cold
But you don't, you don't have to go
You're feeling sad you're feeling lonely
And no one seems to care
You're mother's gone and your father hits you
This pain you cannot bare

But we all bleed the same way as you do
We all have the same things to go through

Hold on...if you feel like letting go
Hold on...it gets better than you know

Your days you say they're way too long
And your nights you can't sleep at all (hold on)
And you're not sure what you're looking for
But you don't want to no more
And you're not sure what you're waiting for but you don't want to no more

But we all bleed the same way as you do
And we all have the same things to go through
[Hold On lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]


Hold on...if you feel like letting go
Hold on...it gets better than you know

Don't stop looking you're one step closer
Don't stop searching it's not over...hold on

What are you looking for?
What are you waiting for?
Do you know what you're doing to me?
Go ahead...what are you waiting for?

Hold on...if you feel like letting go
Hold on...it gets better than you know

Don't stop looking you're one step closer
Don't stop searching it's not over...

Hold on...if you feel like letting go
Hold on...it gets better than you know...hold on

"Perfect"

Let’s take a picture now
I do not want to forget
The way you look at me when everything is perfect
A perfect memory of when things are so good
And everything has worked out just the way we knew it would

I bought a picture frame
I made room on the wall
I hold you close to my chest
Because I’ve made room in my heart
You ask me what I’m doing
I say displaying our love
I can see you when I’m awake and you’re the one I’m dreaming of

I love the sun when it shines
I love the sky when it’s blue
I love the color green
Because it reminds me of you
I’ve been thinking about you all night
A warm bed and a cozy fire
You put you arms around me and lift my head
And then you kiss me

REPEAT ALL


for you mi amor,
Ti amo baby....para siempre.

"If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain"

Sade - By your side


you think i'd leave your side baby
you know me better than that
you think i'd leave you down when you're down on your knees
i wouldn't do that
i'll tell you you're right when you want
and if only you could see into me
ha ah ah ah ah ah
oh when you're cold
i'll be there
hold you tight to me
when you're on the outside baby and you can`t get in
i will show you you're so much better than you know
when you're lost and you're alone and you cant get back again
i will find you darling and i will bring you home
and if you want to cry
i am here to dry your eyes
and in no time
you'll be fine
you think i'd leave your side baby
you know me better than that
you think id leave you down when you're down on your knees
i wouldn't do that
i'll tell you you're right when you want
and if only you could see into me
ha ah ah ah ah ah
oh when you're cold
i'll be there
hold you tight to me
when you're low
i'll be there
by your side baby
oh when you're cold
i'll be there
hold you tight to me
oh when you're low
i'll be there
by your side baby



Live.
Love.
Laugh.
Sleep Later.

Tracy Chapman - Fast Car


You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
But me myself I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car
And I got a plan to get us out of here
I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
We won't have to drive too far
Just 'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living
You see my old man's got a problem
He live with the bottle that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
I say his body's too young to look like his
My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way
I remember we were driving driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job
And I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs
You got a fast car
And I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you and me would find it
I got no plans I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car and keep on driving
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live and die this way

Live.
Love.
Laugh.
Sleep Later.
