Hold my hand I'm sinking slowly down into the deep sea.
Raw emotion taking its toll on you, my love.
Stay strong, stay strong enough to stand.
Stay strong, stay strong enough to stand.
If I die alone, if I hold my breath, will the stars come out,
and help me breath again?
You never know when you're at war.
You're at war, with yourself again.
Again.

Mercy
03:53

Give my your love.
Give me the best years of your life,
and I'll give you mine,
and all my time.
Time, time and time again.
No one asked you, "How are you doing?"
You're feeling like nobody cares.
Because,
All my wants and all my fears are gone.
Don't let me down when I'm on the ground begging you for mercy.
All my dreams and what they mean to me,
I find in you, you find in me, when I beg for mercy.
I'll take a shot and risk everything everything I got,
For the sake of you and I for all time.
Time, time and time again.
I will fix you when you're broken,
If you'll do the same for me.
Because,
All my wants and all my fears are gone.
Don't let me down when I'm on the ground begging you for mercy.
All my dreams and what they mean to me,
I find in you, you find in me, when I beg for mercy.
Now that you're my reason to wake up,
I have a better reason to stay up.
How you brought my life new meaning,
And you gave my heart new feelings.
Because,
All my wants and all my fears are gone.
Don't let me down when I'm on the ground begging you for mercy.
All my dreams and what they mean to me,
I find in you, you find in me, when I beg for mercy.
When I beg for mercy.
When I beg for mercy.

God, please help this girl, she's my whole wide world.
You made her so beautiful, why'd you make her sad?
I'm going to cry like the baby I am,
When you make me feel like a wanted man.
The world it likes to change, but I never have.
I'll still be the same, woman you've always had.
I'm going to close my eyes, wishing you'd open yours too,
When you see the world, through another's view.
Hold me, hold me, hold me.
Hold me, hold me, hold me.
I don't believe that you're dreaming about me too.
And I don't believe that you need me to tell you the truth.

Stuck In Slow Motion
03:35

You make it easy, when I hear you sing.
While the sound of a breeze, rustles through the trees.
And I’m alright. (Oh it’s alright) I’m alright.
Stuck in slow motion,
You’re running around this town with the notion,
That there’s not much else left to say.
Deep violet light beams radiant and fine. No concept of time
Nothing there but here eyes, and still they shine, oh they shine.
A stare that’s calm it’s the moons reflection on the sea
Oh it’s discrete as something so brilliant can be
Oh it’s discrete as something so brilliant can be
Stuck in slow motion
You’re running around this town with the notion
That’s there’s not much else left to say
Deep violet light beams radiant and fine, no concept of time
Nothing there but here eyes, and still they shine, oh they shine
Deep violet light beams radiant and fine, no concept of time
Nothing there but here eyes, and still they shine, oh they shine.

Sunflowers are blooming, on a harvest moon.
My wife is growing them right in our room.
We went outside and we wondered, what heaven must be like.
I kissed you on the forehead in the moonlight.
I said, I know you will help me.
So spread me across a midwest sky.
I said, I know you will help me.
Spread me across a midwest sky.
Startled by your footsteps, I turned and looked away.
Knocking over a cheap bottle of champagne.
You started playing piano, I laid down on the floor.
You grabbed my hand and pulled me through the front door.
Breath it in, don't turn away.
Sit and listen to the evenings rattling.
I said, I know you will help me.
So spread me across a midwest sky.
I said, I know you will help me.
Spread me across a midwest sky.
I said, I know you will help me.
So spread me across a midwest sky.
I said, I know you will help me.
Spread me across a midwest sky.
Spread me across a midwest sky.
Spread me across the midwest sky.

The Rains of Syracuse
03:09

We caught cicada's in the rains of Syracuse.
You and my Daddy, Ma and Pappy, brother too.
Feeling Summer in the Fall.
Knowing Autumn when the Winter lasts too long.
When the birds will chirp and flowers are blooming.
I, I don't mind, I don’t mind.
Then you grew up, bought a school bus as a home.
Driving around the country, you listen to Willie and Johnny too.
Feeling trapped in your own skin.
Wasting time waiting for life just to begin.
Tossing stones across a steady water,
You, you don't mind, you don’t mind.
We caught cicada's in the rains of Syracuse.
You and my Daddy, Ma and Pappy, brother too.

Darling You're An Orphan
03:20

Her father left her mother and her mother left her lying in the street.
Her brother and her sister got a roof but no home they can sleep.
When the cigarette's are gone and the bottles lie broken in the street.
You know that it ain’t easy when you’re treated like a piece of meat.
I know that you’re hanging on, I can see blue skies in your thoughts.
The ruffled ruffles in your sleeves tell me differently.
You’re killing two birds with the stone that is chained down at your feet.
One of them’s the devil and your cold heart is feeling the heat.
Darling, you’re an orphan and you’re Kansas farmhouse is beat.
Blowing, that dust in the wind covered up the whole damn street.
I know that you’re hanging on, I can see blue skies in your thoughts.
The ruffled ruffles in your sleeves tell me differently.

Suppa

Wash your hands, clean your face.
Supper's ready we need to say grace. We’re thankful for what we have.
Your mother asked you what you did today,
Your father laughs as he cleans out his ash tray. Only when we’re here.
I’m so young and never been alone, my dear.
Still we wait, still we wait in fear, my darling.
At this table, conversations, climbing through our throats.
Be yourself not anyone else.
Time will pass, you will change in every way, every day
you won't ask me, you won’t ask me why.
You won’t ask me, you won’t ask me why. Why is it so hard?
To be young, to be so alone, my dear.
Still we wait, still we wait in fear, my darling.
At this table, conversations, climbing through our throats.
I’m so young and never been alone, my dear.
Still we wait, still we wait in fear, my darling.
At this table, conversations, climbing through our throats.

A Tulip Farmer's Waltz
03:26
|
|||
|
Charlie was a farming man, in the tulip fields up north.
He worked and he worked everyday, to bring color to the earth.
One day when a storm arose, it had torn through Charlie’s fields.
A tear fell from the eye of a man with a heart made of steel.
And as he stood there crying, from what God had done.
He fell to his knees and saw his youngest son.
He said, “Daddy what is wrong?” as he held out his hand.
“I’m always here if you need a friend”
Charlie was a humble man, never asked for too much.
He would rise at 5am and not sleep til’ work was done.
A wife, a son, a daughter, Charlie loved with all his heart.
He worked and he worked everyday, to give his family a new start.
And as he stood there smiling, he realized his life,
could never be better, even if he tried.
He said, “son don’t you cry” as he held out his hand.
“I’m always here if you need a friend.”
As they stood there smiling, he picked up his son.
Remember that family is always number one.

Walk Away
02:36
|

|
I hopped a fence and I ran away.
You climbed out through the fire escape.
I met you in the field of yellow grass.
It was 2 am and your mother called.
Worried and scared she dropped the ball,
Don't run around girl with that boy.
Walk away, walk away, when the devil seeks to feed his evil ways.
Walk away, walk away, only God himself can save you with his grace.
All the city boys and girls around,
They All know better than to leave the town.
God knows they'll be stuck there til their graves.
We each wander in our own direction,
Following a path our own souls collected,
Dreaming of what is and what could be.
Walk away, walk away, when the devil seeks to feed his evil ways.
Walk away, walk away, only God himself can save you with his grace.
Lift your head up to the sky,
You ain't gonna see no angels flying,
By the 100 year old cotton tree.
If you don't believe what you can't see,
Then why do you speak so carefully,
About some devils child finding you.
Walk away, walk away.
When the devil seeks to feed his evil ways.
Walk away, walk away.
Only God himself can save you with his grace.
Walk away, walk away, when the devil seeks to feed his evil ways.
Walk away, walk away, only God himself can save you with his grace.
Only God himself can save you with his grace.
Only God himself can save you with his grace.

June Bugs in May

June Bugs in May on your shoulder, swarming the lights overhead.
The pre-summer wind is wrapped in your hands.
Do you know which way it blows?
June Bugs in May cling to the sleeping bag we share.
The milky way spins through the night.
I’m close to you and you’re close to me. How soon will we become one?
When you look my way, I seem to forget all the world.
I spend my Summer days finding new ways to keep you to stay.
June Bugs inside of painting, a scene of a farm in the fall.
This winter will be hard on the knees when I walk to you.
When you look my way, I seem to forget all the world.
I spend my summer days finding new ways to keep you to stay,
And I'll be okay.
Wherever you are, whatever you need, I’ll always need you.
I’ll always need you.
