” When It Don’t Come Easy”

Patty Griffin

 

 

“ When It Don’t Come Easy”

 

 

Red lights are flashing on a highway

I wonder if we're gonna ever get home

I wonder if we're gonna ever get home tonight

Everywhere the waters getting rough

Your best intentions may not be enough

I wonder if we're gonna ever get home tonight

 

But if you break down

I'll drive out and find you

If you forget my love

I'll try to remind you

And stay by you when it don't come easy

 

I don't know nothing except change will come

Year after year what we do is undone

Time gets moving from a crawl to a run

I wonder if we're gonna ever get home

 

You're out there walking down a highway

And all of the signs got blown away

Sometimes you wonder if you're walking in the wrong direction

 

But if you break down

I'll drive out and find you

If you forget my love

I'll try to remind you

And stay by you when it don't come easy

When it don't come easy

 

So many things that I've had before

They don't matter to me now

Tonight I cry for the love that I've lost

And the love I've never found

When the last bird falls

And the last siren sounds

Someone will say what's been said before

It's only love we're looking for

 

But if you break down

I'll drive out and find you

If you forget my love

I'll try to remind you

And stay by you when it don't come easy

When it don't come easy

 

❤️❤️❤️

” Thank You”

Led Zeppelin

 

 

"Thank You"

 

If the sun refused to shine,

I would still be loving you.

When mountains crumble to the sea,

There will still be you and me.

 

Kind woman, I give you my all.

Kind woman, nothing more.

 

Little drops of rain

Whisper of the pain.

Tears of love lost in the days gone by.

 

My love is strong,

With you there is no wrong.

Together we shall go until we die.

 

My, my, my.

 

An inspiration's what you are to me.

Inspiration, look, see.

 

And so today my world—it smiles,

Your hand in mine, we walk the miles,

Thanks to you it will be done,

For you to me are the only one.

 

Alright, yeah

 

Happiness: no more be sad,

Happiness: I'm glad.

 

If the sun refused to shine,

I would still be loving you.

Mountains crumble to the sea,

There will still be you and me.

 

❤️❤️❤️

"The Longer I Run"

Peter Bradley Adams

 

When my blood runs warm with the warm red wine

I miss the life that I left behind

But when I hear the sound of the blackbirds cry

I know I left in the nick of time

 

Well, this road I'm on is gonna turn to sand

And leave me lost in a far-off land

So let me ride the wind till I don't look back

Forget the life that I almost had

 

If I wander till I die

May I know who's hand I'm in

If my home I never find

And let me live again

 

The longer I run

Then the less that I find

Selling my soul for a nickel and dime

Breaking my heart to keep singing these rhymes

And losing again

(x2)

 

Tell my brother please not to look for me

I ain't the man that I used to be

But if my savior comes could you let him know

I've gone away for to save my soul

 

If I wander till I die

May I know who's hand I'm in

If my home I'll never find

And let me live again

 

The longer I run

Then the less that I find

Selling my soul for a nickel and dime

Breaking my heart to keep singing these rhymes

And losing again

(x2)

 

Losing again

 

The longer I run

I'm losing again

 

Losing again

"Regret" - Susanna Hoffs

 

I don't regret any of the days

I can't make go away

But I can't forget all the times and places

And the array of faces

 

Ooh, it hurts

If I never leave this place

Ooh, it hurts

What am I supposed to do

 

If I collect all my little things

And leave all the sorrow

That's ringing in my ears

Could I crawl out from below

 

Keeps running through my head

Pulsing like a drum

I can't believe that all my dreams have gone

 

Ooh, it hurts

If I never leave this place

Ooh, and it hurts

What am I supposed to do

 

It's a curse

Will I ever leave this place

It's still ringing in my ears

Ooh, it hurts

 

:'(

"Flight of the Crow" - Passenger

 

Sometimes I get tired of waking up on my own

And sometimes I feel like I want to go home

But the cars they keep on driving

Down a road that doesn’t seem to end

 

[CHORUS:]

So we’re following arrows and the flight of the crow

Living wide screen but what good is it though

When life gets narrower the further you go

Suns set before they rise

It’s there in the shadows where nobody goes

It’s there in the dark but what good is it though

It’s a vanishing point on a shimmering road

And there when I close my eyes

 

Sometimes its hard to know the way to go

When the waters rise around you

And the fire rages down below

 

[CHORUS]

 

Oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh

 

Cause we’re bullets

And we’re fired from shotguns

Flying through birthdays and new years

Yeah, we’re rolling stones

But the moss keeps growing

Round our hearts and our eyes and our ears

(x2)

 

So we’re following arrows and the flight of the crow

Living wide screen but what good is it though

When life gets narrower the further you go

Suns set before they rise

It’s there in the shadows where nobody goes

It’s there in the dark but what good is it though

It’s a vanishing point on a shimmering road

And there when I close my eyes

There when I close my eyes

 

Only there when I close my eyes

"The Voice"

 

Celtic Woman                                      Eimear Quinn

https://youtu.be/nX2anEXG0eE             

 

 

I hear your voice on the wind

And I hear you call out my name

 

"Listen my child," you say to me

"I am the voice of your history

Be not afraid, come follow me

Answer my call and I'll set you free"

 

I am the voice in the wind and the pouring rain

I am the voice of your hunger and pain

I am the voice that always is calling you

I am the voice

I will remain

 

I am the voice in the fields when the summer's gone

The dance of the leaves when the autumn winds blow

Ne'er do I sleep throughout all the cold winter long

I am the force that in springtime will grow

 

I am the voice of the past that will always be

Filled with my sorrows and blood in my fields

I am the voice of the future

Bring me your peace

Bring me your peace

And my wounds they will heal

 

I am the voice in the wind and the pouring rain

I am the voice of your hunger and pain

I am the voice that always is calling you

I am the voice

 

I am the voice in the past that will always be

I am the voice of your hunger and pain

I am the voice of the future

I am the voice

 

I am the voice

I am the voice

I am the voice

"My Friend"

Blessid Union of Souls

 

                                     

 

 

Oh, my friend

Put your head on my shoulder

No need to worry about a thing

I'll be the cure for your loneliness

I'll make you feel like you're whole again

Yes, I will

 

You can always count on me wherever I may be

When this world's got you feeling blue

Call on me I'll run to you

My friend, yeah, my friend

 

Listen, My Baby

On my wings we both can fly

Cause there's no burden big enough

And when you're hurting, Baby

So am I

And we'll both cry

There's nothing stronger than our love

 

And you can always count on me

Wherever I may be

Oh, I'm gonna find the way

To a better day

My friend

 

So let me be the one to save you

Oh, hold on to me now

Cause it's the least that I can do

And you don't have to return the favor

Because I promise you

I promise you we're gonna make it through

We're gonna make it through

My friend

 

So when you feel your world is sinking, Darling

I'll be there

Because that's the least

That's the least that I can do

And you don't have to return the favor

Cause I vow to you, vow to you

I'll carry you through

My friend

 

Put your head on my shoulder

No need to worry about a thing

When you need me I'll be there in a hurry, Babe

Please count on me

Time and time again

Cause you're my friend

Yesterday Once More - The Carpenters

 

 

When I was young

I'd listen to the radio

Waitin' for my favorite songs

Waiting they played I'd sing along

It made me smile

 

Those were such happy times

And not so long ago

How I wondered where they'd gone

But they're back again

Just like a long lost friend

All the songs I loved so well

 

every sha-la-la-la

Every wo-wo-wo

Still shines

Every shing-a-ling-a-ling

That they're starting to sing's

So fine

 

When they get to the part

Where he's breakin' her heart

It can really make me cry

Just like before

It's yesterday once more

 

Lookin' back on how it was

In years gone by

And the good times that I had

Makes today seem rather sad

So much has changed

 

It was songs of love that

I would sing to then

And I'd memorize each word

Those old melodies

Still sound so good to me

As they melt the years away

 

All my best memories

Come back clearly to me

Some can even make me cry

Just like before

It's yesterday once more

One minor error in the lyrics here, but very good job still, and a very good empowering song, IMO.

The Turn of the Road -- June Tabor

 

 

 

Will you walk with me

Beyond the road's turning,

Where Day takes the valley

That leads into Night?

Love will you walk with me

All through my journey

Or only till the light?

 

Believe me I need you

Don't think of leaving

This evening your love lights

My way to the dawn

Don't leave me here

Now you've got me believing

Tomorrow I'll wake newborn.

 

If you will love me as I love you

Who cares how dark the night may appear.

If you will love me as I love you

Then I will know no fear.

 

The signs on the road

Are there to mislead you

At times I misread them

Though I was so wise.

 

The turn of the road, my love

That's where I need you

Tears always blind my eyes.

 

Love, will you hold me

Through all my life's evenings?

Love, will you take the road

Right to the end?

 

I never had someone

I could believe in

Forever my lover my friend.

Ah, the gorgeous voice of Karen Carpenter, one of the many tragic losses.  Thanks for the share, I've had a Carpenter's song on my list forever, I'll have to throw it down very soon.

"The Birds of St. Marks"

Jackson Browne

 

Oh, how sad they sound the songs

The queen must sing of dying

The prisoner upon her throne

The melancholy sighing

 

If she could see her mirror now

She would be free

Of those who bow

And scrape the ground beneath her feet

 

Silently she walks

Among her dying midnight roses

And watches as each moment goes

That never really knows us

 

And so it seems she doesn't care

If she has dreams

Of no one there

Within the shadows of her room

 

And all my frozen words agree

And say it's time

To call back all the birds I sent

To fly behind her castle walls

And I'm weary of the nights I've seen

Inside these empty halls

 

Wooden lady, turn and turn

Among my weary secrets

And wave within the hours past

Another empty pocket

 

Maybe we've found what we have lost

When we've unwound

So many crossed entangling

Misunderstandings

 

But all my frozen words agree

And say it's time

To call back all the birds I sent

To fly behind her castle walls

And I'm weary of the nights I've seen

Inside these empty halls

"Fell From The Moon" - 3 Doors Down

 

I fell to the earth below

And I hurt everyone that I know

Well it's gonna be hard

And it's gonna leave scars

Some days we're born to lose

Today, I fell from the moon

 

I don't know how to get back

Or how to make up for all that I lack

But I'm gonna get there

And I'm not gonna be scared

I've got so much to prove

Today, I fell from the moon

 

Cause I flew above the earth some

I've danced under the warm sun

I've watched the stars light up a room

And now I hope the heavens help me

I pray that they might let me back

But if they don't, what will I do

Today, I fell from the moon

 

I don't know where I belong

Or how long they say I've been gone

But I'm gonna be strong

And try to find my way home

That's all that I can do

Today, I fell from the moon

 

Cause flew above the earth some

I've danced under the warm sun

I've watched the stars light up a room

And now I hope the heavens help me

I pray that they might let me back

But if they don't, what will I do

Today, I fell from the moon

 

Today, I fell from the moon

"At The Zoo"

Simon & Garfunkel

Someone told me

It's all happening at the zoo

I do believe it

I do believe it's true

 

It's a light and tumble journey

From the East side to the park

Just a fine and fancy ramble to the zoo

But you can take the cross-town bus

If it's raining or it's cold

And the animals will love it if you do

 

Something tells me

It's all happening at the zoo

I do believe it

I do believe it's true

 

The monkeys stand for honesty

Giraffes are insincere

And the elephants are kindly but they're dumb

Orangutans are skeptical of changes in their cages

And the zoo keeper is very fond of rum

 

Zebras are reactionaries

Antelopes are missionaries

Pigeons plot in secrecy

And hamsters turn on frequently

 

What a gas

You got to come and see

At the zoo

At the zoo

At the zoo

"Stranger Than Fiction"

Katharine McPhee

I found love when I least expected it

I found faith from a night of no regrets

And I found me in a place too crazy to mention

They say that life is stranger than fiction

 

Had a crazy dream the other night

We were breaking free with no fear to fly

Nothing to prove, no one to blame

Breaking away

 

But we woke up on a runaway train

Speeding down a dead end road, as they say

We fought for love

Love let us fall to nothing at all

 

What we see is crazy

 

[CHORUS:]

I found love when I least expected it

I found faith from a night of no regrets

I found me in a place too crazy to mention

They say that life is stranger than fiction

I found love from the strength of letting go

I found faith from a night spent on my own

I found me in a place too crazy to mention

They say that life is stranger than fiction

 

Took the darkest day to realize

That the sun will set, but not slip away

Bruises we made finally fade

The moment we walk away

 

Sometimes life is crazy

 

[CHORUS]

 

Nothing in the world is gonna break me

Push me ten feet underground

I’ll still touch the sky

Never gonna turn the world against me

Oh, finally free

Finally weightless

 

[i found love when I least expected it

I found faith from a night of no regrets

I found me in a place too crazy to mention

They say that life is stranger than fiction

I found love from the strength of letting go

I found faith from a night spent on my own

I found me in a place too crazy to mention

They say that life is stranger than fiction

"Circle of Love"

Steve Miller Band

 

 

 

Ooh, when I met you, baby

You were the circle of love around me

Ooh, when I met you, baby

You were the circle of love around me

And I give you my heart

I was in love right from the start

 

Got my first kiss

In the back seat of a car

I was hot

I was really raring to go

 

Got my first kiss

In the back seat of a car

At the drive-in

The drive-in movie show

 

And I gave her my heart

I was in love right from the start

 

Ooh, when I met you, baby

You were the circle of love around me

Ooh, when I met you, baby

You were the circle of love around me

And I give you my heart

I was in love right from the start

Love Carly Simon, can't remember whether I saw the movie though, hmm 

 

The song was from Working Girl starring Melanie Griffith and Harrison Ford.  I highly recommend.  I just noted the video did not have the title of the movie.

P.S.  I also just noted it did if one scrolls down further, however.

James Taylor & Carole King - You've Got a Friend

 

 

When you're down and troubled

And you need some love and care

And nothing, nothing is going right

Close your eyes and think of me

And soon I will be there

To brighten up even your darkest night

You just call out my name

And you know wherever I am

I'll come running, to see you again

Winter, spring, summer or fall

All you have to do is call

And I'll be there

You've got a friend

If the sky above you

Grows dark and full of clouds

And that old north wind begins to blow

Keep your head together

And call my name out loud

Soon you'll hear me knocking at your door

You just call out my name

And you know wherever I am

I'll come running, running, yeah, yeah, to see you again

Winter, spring, summer or fall

All you have to do is call

And I'll be there, yes, I will

Now, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend

When people can be so cold?

They'll hurt you, yes, and desert you

And take your soul if you let them, oh, but don't you let them

You just call out my name

And you know wherever I am

I'll come running, running, yeah, yeah, to see you again

Winter, spring, summer or fall

All you have to do is call

And I'll be there, yes, I will

You've got a friend

You've got a friend

Ain't it good to know you've got a friend?

Ain't it good to know, ain't it good to know, ain't it good to know

You've got a friend?

Oh yeah now, you've got a friend

Yeah baby, you've got a friend

Oh yeah, you've got a friend

"Shelter" - Sarah McLachlan

 

Crowded into the smallest spaces

While outside all of nature cries

It's known to be cruel and unfair

But there is no place to hide

 

Oh I've seen a part of people

That I never really want to share

Oh I've seen a part of people

That I never knew was there

 

[CHORUS:]

Shelter

Give them shelter

Give them shelter

From the coming storm

 

I can't sleep haunted by their faces

The sadness in their eyes

It hurts so much to see them helpless

It makes me want to cry

 

But still there is so much left unanswered

For so many innocent lives

They close the door and are letting nobody in

And only the strong will survive

 

[CHORUS]

 

I've seen the anger and I've seen all the dreams

I've watched their existence torn apart at the seams

And though I may seem helpless

I will do all that I can do

 

I've seen a part of people

That I never really want to share

Oh I've seen a part of people

That I never knew was there

 

Shelter

Give them shelter

Give them shelter

From the coming storm

Shelter

Give them shelter

Give them shelter

From the coming storm

"Day of the Eagle" - Robin Trower

 

I saw a light just up ahead

But I couldn't seem to rise up from my bed

I'm not alone and then I am

Cause people seem to think I'm Superman

 

Well I once fought for love

I'm living in the day of the eagle

Eagle, not the dove

 

It's like a weight that brings me down

If I don't move I'm on the ground

It's in my mind, it's in my soul

It's telling me the things I can't be told

 

Well I once fought for love

Living in the day of the eagle

Eagle, not the dove

 

Another day, another night

I want to love, they want to fight

I need the time, I got to be alone

I got to think it over on my own

 

Well I once fought for love

Living in the day of the eagle

Eagle, not the dove

"Maybe We'll Just Disappear"

Kimmie Rhodes & Waylon Jennings

 

Lately you look like

You're wondering which way to go

Well, Babe, I don't know

 

Could be we'll drop through

The trap door of wisdom untold

That'll lead us down pathways of gold

 

Or just like the plan for the hungry

Or the wars that we wage

I guess that it's likely someday

That maybe we'll just disappear

 

Like one of those stories about UFOs

Dinosaur bones or the dust bowl

Oh, Baby, maybe we'll just disappear

 

I wish I could unravel

The mystery you hold in your soul

Oh, but how would I know

We could go over the edge

We've been living on for so long

 

In our biographies

Maybe our normal will change

When we reach the next page

Or maybe we'll just disappear

 

Like one of those stories about UFOs

The Berlin Wall or the buffalo

Oh, Baby, maybe we'll just disappear

 

Oh, Baby, maybe we'll just disappear
