[...] Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 "Hard Way Home" - Brandi Carlile I sometimes lose my faith in luck I don't know what I want to be when I grow up I just count the rain Wearing the floor into the boards again I wish I could find a soul to steal I could be the engine, you could be the wheel And we could drive it home And never have to worry about being alone [CHORUS:] Ooh, I follow my tracks See all the times I should have turned back Ooh, I wept alone I know what it means to be on my own Ooh, the things I've known It looks like I'm taking the hard way home Ooh, the seeds I've sown Taking the hard way home Taking the hard way home I never did learn how to follow the rules I never was good at sleeping while the moon was full I just lie and burn Wreck my mind while the planet turns Sometimes I wish I could start again Try and do the right thing every now and then I'd step in line That's what I'd do if I could turn back time [CHORUS] I'll tell you how I want to live Forget about the take, forget about the give I want to leave this town Fake my death and never be found [CHORUS] I sometimes lose my faith in luck I don't know what I want to be when I grow up I just count the rain Wearing the floor into the boards again I wish I could find a soul to steal I could be the engine, you could be the wheels And we could drive it home And never have to worry about being alone Ooh, the things I have known Looks like I'm taking the hard way home Ooh, the seeds I've sown Taking the hard way home Taking the hard way home Taking the hard way home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[...] Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 "Hold On to You" - Default You've been here in the dark for way too long Do you remember how it felt in the sunlight You're still smiling through the pain you're hiding in But everyone can see that something's just not right You've been waiting for so long, so long You've been looking for some way to hold on [CHORUS:] I know you feel so far away So far away from better days As you look for a way out I'll hold on to you And when it gets too hard to take I'll be the light that leads the way As you look for a way out I'll hold on to you I'll hold on to you You tell yourself that you'll make it right someday You're getting way too good at living your own lies Been broken down but believe somehow That the sun can still burn through the clouds in your eyes You've been waiting for so long, so long You've been looking for some way to hold on [CHORUS] Take one step Just one step forward One step One step I know you feel so far away So far away from better days As you look for a way out I'll hold on to you And when it gets too hard to take I'll be the light that leads the way As you look for a way out I'll hold on to you (2x) I'll hold on to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Sa...] Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 ” I’m Not Ok” Trent Dabbs And how would I ever know If I never tried If I never tried to love you It's easy to blame myself For wanting something else For wanting something else Dreams start to fade away Become another day And then another day Goes by Can't seem to watch it past Was never good at that Was never good at that Was I? I'm not Ok With just leaving Or holding back my words Until I need them I'm not OK With just leaving I love you too much Thought I was above I guess I really wasn't I guess I really wasn't A kiss is meant to fade And feelings go away Feelings go away I'm not OK With just leaving Or holding back my words Until I need them I'm not OK With just leaving I love you too much I'm not OK With just leaving Holding back my words Until I need them I'm not OK With just leaving I love you too much How would I ever know If I never try If I never tried?

[La...] Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I had totally forgotten about it until this morning, and when I watched it again, I laughed so hard. I hardly ever laugh, so that's saying a lot. I LOVE Mama Bear's reaction! But, of course, Mama Bear is still munching away on breakfast/lunch/dinner/snack, so she's not going to go and see if Baby Bear is okay, or or if he needs a tissue for that nasty cold, or if he just wants a hug. Noooooo! It's time to eat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[...] Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 Yes, thanks for the smiles, guys, isn't it great to have Shook dropping by to hang with us again? And now, a little break from regular programing for a couple of miscellaneous tunes. Please to enjoy. Firstly, this classic oldie but goodie I must've watched about half a dozen times recently, *MAGICAL*, they sound as good today as they did 50 years ago. Extraordinary harmonizing. Real feel-good song! "The Rain, The Park and Other Things" - The Cowsills https://youtu.be/foepOwQlXpI Hah, I just watched it again now, addicted. And then this one, check out little Susan and tell me if you can take your eyes off her! Too adorable, wish I had those moves! "Indian Lake" - The Cowsills Sad, I just read they lost one of the brothers, Barry, in Hurricane Katrina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[...] Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 "No Way Home" - Richard Hawley I'll see myself out of this world We don't get long and no rehearsal So I'll shade my eyes and watch the shadows grow Cause I'm not coming back Maybe I've been too long in this town Even the happy faces just bring me down So maybe now it's time to move on And hold that torch again But it's too hard a road I can't make it on my own Yes, it's too high a climb It just breaks this heart of mine No way home I just sit here and count the time Sometimes I'm frightened what's in my mind The things that just seem to stick in there I wouldn't want you to know This is all the time that we have All those ways to love, you never get it back So I'll wear shoes that walk the distance Cause I'm never coming back And it's too hard a road I can't make it on my own Yes, it's too high a climb Oh, this broken heart of mine There's no way home It's too hard a road I can't make it on my own Yes, it's too high a climb For this broken heart of mine No way home No way home No way home No way home No way home :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[...] Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 "I'm A Small And Lonely Light" Olivia Newton-John The stairs are dark and silent The morning cold and gray A last look at the things I knew And slowly turn away And as I watch the scenery unwind My childhood slips a hundred miles behind Leave the bus in Houston Walk around the town But all the strange unfriendly faces Seem to get me down And in the park where little children play I sit and watch the dying of the day I'm a small and lonely light A bird that's lost in flight And it's too late at night to go home I'm a tall and weary kite A face that's out of sight And it's too late at night to go home Always had the good life Never felt unsure But now the good life's not enough There must be something more And so I sit and shiver in the dawn And watch the world and wait to be reborn I'm a small and lonely light A bird that's lost in flight And it's too late at night to go home I'm a tall and weary kite A face that's out of sight And it's too late at night to go home Too late at night to go home But I've talked too long, my friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
