“ Don’t Know Much”

Turin Brakes

 

 

“Don’t Know Much”

 

Tired eyes, maybe you’ve seen too much.

Tired heart, every end has a start

If you find yourself in trouble, falling off the track

Would you come back

Would you come back

Would you come back

 

Time will save you

You don’t need to save yourself

Sorry eyes of those left behind

When we were kids do these thing we oblige

 

If you find yourself alone, with no need to call home

 

Will you come back

Will you come back

Will you come back

 

Time will save you

You dont need to save yourself

Time will save you

You dont need to save yourself

 

And if you need me now,

you know i’m here

For the deepest scars dissappear

 

Time will save you

You dont need to save yourself

Time will save you

You dont need to save yourself

Time will save you

You dont need to save yourself

Time will save you

You dont need to save yourself

” Madman Across The Water”

Elton John

 

 

"Madman Across The Water"

 

I can see very well

There's a boat on the reef with a broken back

And I can see it very well

There's a joke and I know it very well

It's one of those that I told you long ago

Take my word I'm a madman don't you know

 

Once a fool had a good part in the play

If it's so would I still be here today

It's quite peculiar in a funny sort of way

They think it's very funny everything I say

Get a load of him, he's so insane

You better get your coat dear

It looks like rain

 

We'll come again next Thursday afternoon

The In-laws hope they'll see you very soon

But is it in your conscience that you're after

Another glimpse of the madman across the water

 

I can see very well

There's a boat on the reef with a broken back

And I can see it very well

There's a joke and I know it very well

It's one of those that I told you long ago

Take my word I'm a madman don't you know

 

The ground's a long way down but I need more

Is the nightmare black

or are the windows painted

Will they come again next week

Can my mind really take it

” Iceland”

Mary Chapin Carpenter

 

https://youtu.be/IgpXCion0R4

 

"Iceland"

 

Last night I dreamed of icy cliffs

Standing on the precipice

I leaned to see just where the edge would take me

The wind came up, I closed my eyes

I heard a shout and to my surprise

A hand reached out and pulled me back to safety

 

What's a hand, what's a dream

Who can say what it means

When everything that you know

Can disappear

Don't look back, the spirits cry

Just be glad to be alive

Everything that you love is right here

Everything that you love:

 

Life feels smaller than this stone

Worn smooth inside my palm

I keep it like a charm inside my pocket

I keep thinking I'll flame out

Leave no one with a doubt

That I was meant to fire like a rocket

 

What's a stone, what's a flame

There's always someone else to blame

When everything that you know disappears

Don't look back the spirits cry

Just be glad to be alive

Everything that you need is right here

Everything that you need:.

 

When I'm left here on the shore

The ancient basalt moor

Will beckon me to sleep among its heather

Who's not tempted to fold in

So that sleep may come again

Where the fire and the ice hide their treasure

 

Everything that you love

Everything that you need

 

❤️❤️❤️

” Wolves”

Down Like Silver

 

 

“ Wolves”

 

When I die let the wolves enjoy my bones

When I die let me go

When I die let the wolves enjoy my bones

When I die let me go

 

When I die you can push me out to sea

When I die set me free

When I die let the sharks come ’round to feed

When I die set me free

 

Oh, the world is dark

And I’ve looked as far as I can see

When the years have torn me apart

Let me be

 

When I die let the flames devour me

When I die set me free

When I die throw my ashes to the breeze

When I die scatter me

 

Oh, the world is dark

And I’ve looked as far as I can see

When the years have torn me apart

 

Let me be

Let me be

Let me be

Let me be

 

Daylight is waiting for you

Daylight is waiting for you

Daylight is waiting for you

Daylight is waiting for you

 

Daylight is waiting for you

Daylight is waiting for you

Daylight is waiting for you

Daylight is waiting for you

” Not Alone”

Patty Griffin

 

 

"Not Alone"

 

She sees him laying in the bed alone tonight

The only thing a touching him is a crack of light

Pieces of her hair are wrapped around and 'round his fingers

And he reaches for her side, for any sign of her that lingers

 

And she says you are not alone

Laying in the light

Put out the fire in your head

And lay with me tonight

 

One of them bullets went straight for the jugular vein

There were people running a flash of light

Then everything changed

Nothing really matters in the end you know

All the worry is over

Don't be afraid for me my friend, one day we all fall down forever

 

And you are not alone

Laying in the light

Put out the fire in your head

And lay with me tonight

 

The wedding date was June just like any other bride

She loved him like no one before, it was good to be alive

But sometimes that can slip away as fast

As any fingers through your hands

So you let time forgive the past and go and make some other plans

 

And you are not alone

Laying in the light

Put out the fire in your head

And lay with me tonight

You are not alone

Laying in the light

Put out the fire in your head

And lay with me tonight

 

❤️❤️❤️

"Riding The Nightingale"

Mark Lanegan

 

Dying, Mama, barely breathing in a bed of nails

Wander through the ruin, smoking and pale

Came upon an angel and a nightingale

Back where the darkness comes

Between the earth and skies above

 

Dead weight on my body's bones

I think I dug too deep a hole

Think I dug too deep a hole

 

Better run for cover, Babe, you better hide

Don't do no good to wait till time decides

Time decides

Time, time, I need a little more time

Riding on my nightingale

So many years to, to ride

Hiding on my nightingale

Around my heart

 

Climbing down the stairs at last

I wouldn't touch me right

You're too proud and I'm too scared

And I'm neither here nor there

It's only fear

Well open up the doors

And let me breathe that air

 

Better run for cover, Babe, you better hide

Just don't do the wait till time decides

Time decides

Time, time, I need a little more time

 

Mama I'm gonna cry now

Cry, I'm gonna cry now

Oh, you're making me cry now

Cry, I'm gonna cry now

Oh, no, no, no, no, no

I'm gonna cry

Cry

I'm gonna die crying

 

Better run for cover, Babe, you better hide

Just don't do the wait till time decides

Tied around my nightingale

So many years to, to hide

Fly, my nightingale

Around my heart

 

Who's riding on my nightingale

Who's riding on my nightingale

Who's riding on my nightingale

"Sinking Man"

Of Monsters And Men

 

Cold, dark sea

Wrapping its arms around me

Pulling me down to the deep

All eyes on me

 

I push you away

Although I wish you could stay

So many words left unsaid

But I'm all out of breath

 

So, go, go, go

Get out of here

Go away

Get out of here

 

Go, go

Get out of here

Go away

Get out of here

 

Go, go

Get out of here

Go away

Get out of here

 

Go, go

Get out of here

Go away

 

Cold, dark sea

Your waves are rocking me

I close my eyes and fall asleep

All eyes on me

Your eyes on me

"Wandered Away" - Anna Leone

 

I wandered away

I wandered away in the morning

I wandered away

I wandered away with my rhymes

 

You held me

But you couldn't understand me

You held me

And it eased your mind

 

It took a long time

It took a long time for me to breathe

I stood at your door

And you found the one who left

 

You held me

But you couldn't seem to change me

You held me

And it eased your mind

 

Still I feel lost

I feel lost

I feel lost

I feel lost

 

I made you wait

And I longed for the night

Still I feel lost

When I close my eyes

 

I'll never forget

I never went down to the river

And I'll never forget

I couldn't take care of myself

 

You held me

But you couldn't understand me

You held me

And it eased your mind

 

Still I feel lost

I feel lost

I feel lost

I feel lost

 

I made you wait

And I longed for the night

Still I feel lost

When I close my eyes

 

When I close my eyes

When I close my eyes

"Love And Happiness"

Mark Knopfler feat. Emmylou Harris

 

Here's a wishing well

Here's a penny for

Any thought it is

That makes you smile

 

Every diamond dream

Everything that brings

Love and happiness

To your life

 

Here's a rabbit's foot

Take it when you go

So you'll always know

You're safe from harm

 

Wear your ruby shoes

When you're far away

So you'll always stay

Home in your heart

 

[CHORUS:]

You will always have a lucky star

That shines because of what you are

Even in the deepest dark

Because your aim is true

And if I could only have one wish

Darling, then it would be this

Love and happiness for you

 

Here's a spinning wheel

Use it once you've learned

There's a way to turn

The straw to gold

 

Here's a rosary

Count on every bead

With a prayer to keep

The hope you hold

 

You will always have a lucky star

That shines because of what you are

Even in the deepest dark

Because your aim is true

And if I could only have one wish

Darling, then it would be this

Love and happiness for you

 

And if I could only have one wish

Darling, then it would be this

Love and happiness for you

"You And You Alone"

Vince Gill

 

large.jpg

 

If we have to wait forever that's all right

If you say, let's run away, we'll leave tonight

I'll do anything you ever ask me to

Girl, the reason my heart's beating is for you

And you alone

 

There's a price you pay for every choice you make

We'll have our day, no matter what it takes

I'll be there for you whatever we go through

Girl, the reason life's worth living is for you

And you alone

 

[CHORUS:]

Oh, you and you alone

Are with me from now on

Even if I never see your face again

The love that you have shown

Is unlike anything I've known

We both know its just a matter of when

 

I wish that we could just turn back the hands of time

To find a way to have your world fit into mine

I'll keep dreaming that some day it all comes true

Girl, the reason my heart's breaking is for you

And you alone

 

Oh, you and you alone

Are with me from now on

Even if I never see your face again

The love that you have shown

Is unlike anything I've known

We both know its just a matter of when

"Hummingbird"

Beware Of Darkness

 

Outside my window a little hummingbird flies

That’s how I know your spirit’s alive

But as I approach you, you fly away

I’m not a big mean blackbird like you say

 

Take me down to where I’ve been

I will fly into the night

We will find we'll find our love again

Maybe soon

 

Outside my window a little hummingbird cries

The sky turns dark, the raindrops fly

I call out to you and hear my voice echo back in return

In search of truth I quickly find concern

 

Take me down to where I’ve been

I will fly into the night

We will find we'll find our love again

 

Outside my window a little hummingbird dies

As I hold your body, tears drop from my eyes

Oh, where could you be, oh, where could you be, my love

I’m growing up so lonely each and each and every day

 

Take me down to where I’ve been

I will fly into the night

We will find we'll find our love again

Oh, we'll find our love again, child

We'll find our love again

 

Don’t call me blackbird

Don’t call me blackbird, my love

 

Don’t call me blackbird

Don’t call me blackbird

You're breaking

You, you’re breaking my heart

"Next Time" - Laura Marling

 

It feels like a long time

Since I was free

It feels like the right time

To take that seriously

 

It feels like the trees

Are a peculiar green

It feels like the air

Is hung heavily

 

I don't want to be the kind

Struck by fear to run and hide

I'll do better next time

 

It feels like warning signs

Were there for us to see

It feels like they taught us

Ignore diligently

I feel her, I hear her weakly scream

 

Am I really so unkind

To turn around and close my eyes

I'll do better next time

I'll do better next time

 

It feels like the last breath

We will ever share

It feels like the last time

I'll run my fingers through your hair

 

I can no longer close my eyes

While the world around me dies

At the hands of folks like me

It seems they fail to see

There may never

Next time be

"Second Chances"

Gregory Alan Isakov

 

All of my heroes sit up straight

They stare at the ground, they radiate

Me, I'm mumbling in the kitchen

For the sun to pay up

Lonely as a ring on a cold coffee cup

 

I'm some sick hound

Digging for bones

If it weren't for second chances

We'd all be alone

 

My hands they were strangers lost in the night

Oh, they're waving around in the dusty light

I'm waiting in the wings while the trees undress

Cupping my ear to hear the wind confess

 

I'm a ghost in the garden scaring the crows

If it weren't for second chances

We'd all be alone

 

I'm running from nothing

No thoughts in my mind

Oh my heart was all black

But I saw something shine

Thought that part was yours

But it might just be mine

I could share it with you

If you gave me the time

 

I'm all bloody knuckles longing for home

If it weren't for second chances

We'd all be alone

 

I'm a shot through the dark

I'm a black sinkhole

If it weren't for second chances

We'd all be alone

"Broken And Beautiful"

Kelly Clarkson

 

I never held my hand out and asked for something free

I got pride I could roll out for miles in front of me

I don't need your help and I don’t need sympathy

I don't need you to lower the bar for me

 

I know I'm Superwoman

I know I'm strong

I know I've got this cause I've had it all along

I'm phenomenal

And I'm enough

I don't need you to tell me who to be

 

[CHORUS:]

Can someone just hold me

Don't fix me

Don’t try to change a thing

Can someone just know me

Cause underneath

I'm broken and it’s beautiful

 

I'm broken and it's beautiful

I'm broken and it’s beautiful

I'm broken and it's beautiful

I'm broken and it's beautiful

 

Walking on the ocean, turning water into wine

We bury our emotion and pretend that we're just fine

The only way to live now is to know you're gonna fly

Don't listen to the lying liars and their lies

 

I know I'm Superwoman

I know I'm strong

I know I've got this cause I've had it all along

I'm phenomenal

And I'm enough

I don't need you to tell me who to be

:boxer:

 

[CHORUS:]

 

Hey, I'm broken and it's beautiful

I'm broken and it's beautiful

Hey, I'm broken and it's beautiful

I'm broken and it's beautiful

 

I'm tired

Can I just be tired

Without piling on

All sad and scared and out of time

 

I'm wild

Can I just be wild

Without feeling like I'm failing

And I'm losing my mind

 

Can someone just hold me

Don't fix me

Don’t try to change a thing

Oh, someone just know me

Cause underneath

I'm broken and it’s beautiful

 

I'm broken and it's beautiful

I'm broken and it's beautiful

I'm broken and it's beautiful

It's beautiful, it's beautiful

It's beautiful

 

I'm broken and it's beautiful

It's beautiful, it's beautiful

It's beautiful

 

I'm broken and it's beautiful

"Never Give In" - Will Hoge

 

7b8251a57f2d1dde9b608951b9c0be3a--cute-pandas-baby-pandas.jpg

 

Some people say things that they don't ever mean

Some people say things they wanna believe

Life is a walk on a razor thin line

Somewhere between the truth and a lie

 

All the years and the tears that I've seen in your eyes

And I know that you've seen the darkness in mine

We always knew what we both had to lose

So look right in my eyes and hear what I'm saying to you

 

Whoa, whoa, let the hard times come

We're standing together, no, we'll never run

Let her come back again and again

No, we'll never give in

 

Somebody told me a long time ago

Love, it ain't easy and now we know

The highway is littered with love disappeared

All the others have fallen, girl, but we're still here

 

Whoa, whoa, let the hard times come

We're standing together, no, we'll never run

Let her come back again and again

No, we'll never give in

No, we'll never give in

 

Whoa, whoa

Let the hard times come

We're steady together, no, we'll never run

Let her come back again and again

No, we'll never give in

No, we'll never give in

 

No, we'll never give in

"Mockingbirds"- Grant Lee Buffalo

 

Devastation

At last finally we meet

After all of these years

Out here in the street

 

I had a feeling

You would make yourself known

You came along just to claim

Your place on the throne

 

Now I have been overthrown

Overthrown

 

[CHORUS:]

And I thought

If I toe the right lines

But these mockingbirds

Won't let me shine

 

Devastation

My door was left open wide

You brought me into your heart

And you swallowed my pride

 

I had a feeling

You were hiding your thoughts

I made a note to myself

I nearly forgot

 

Now I'm overwrought

I'm overwrought

 

[CHORUS]

(x2)

 

One day

This ground will break

And open up for me

I hope it will

I hope it will

 

Salutations at last

I'm down on my knees

I heard the bugle this morning

Blast Reveille

 

Woke from a dream

Where I was in a terrible realm

All my sails were ablaze

I was chained to the helm

 

Now I'm overwhelmed

I'm overwhelmed

 

And I thought

If I toe the right lines

But these mockingbirds

Won't let me shine

 

And I thought

If I toe the right lines

But these mockingbirds

Won't let me shine

"Dust" - Lucinda Williams

 

There's a sadness so deep

The sun seems black

And you don't have to try

To keep the tears back

No, you don't have to try

To keep the tears back

 

Because you couldn't cry if you wanted to

You couldn't cry if you wanted to

You couldn't cry if you wanted to

You couldn't cry if you wanted to

 

Even your thoughts are dust

Even your thoughts are dust

Even your thoughts are dust

Even your thoughts are dust

 

So you stare at the ceiling

And wish the world would mend

Trying to recall some better feeling

To no good end

Trying to recall some better feeling

To no good

 

But even your thoughts are dust

Even your thoughts are dust

Even your thoughts are dust

Even your thoughts are dust

 

There's a sadness so deep

The sun seems black

And you don't have to try

To keep the tears back

No, you don't have to try

To keep the tears back

 

Because you couldn't cry if you wanted to

You couldn't cry if you wanted to

You couldn't cry if you wanted to

You couldn't cry if you wanted to

 

Even your thoughts are dust

Even your thoughts are dust

Even your thoughts are dust

Even your thoughts are dust

 

Even your thoughts are dust

Even your thoughts are dust

Even your thoughts are dust

Even your thoughts are dust

"Show Me The Way"

The Small Faces

 

I've been walking with dawn

For my sleep hath been torn

And my happiness gone

 

There's an old man in me

Who I talk to, you see

He's as old as the sun

 

Want to know just what I've been saying

Please, please

Show me the way

 

All the truth I have known

Has been scattered and blown

And I don't know who I am

 

Someone else's part I am playing

Please, please

Show me the way

Bless my heart, bless my soul

You got to hold on

You got to hold on

"Ease My Mind" - Ben Platt

https://youtu.be/hLvF4Yt0O0A

 

hugged-pandas.jpg

 

Most days I wake up with a pit in my chest

There are thoughts that I can't put to rest

There's a worry that I can't place

 

Most nights I am restless and quiet won't come

So I lay there and wait for the sun

There's a trouble that won't show its face

 

You came out of nowhere

And you cut through all the noise

I make sense of the madness

When I listen to your voice

 

Darling, only you can ease my mind

Help me leave these lonely thoughts behind

When they pull me under

And I can feel my sanity start to unwind

Darling, only you can ease my mind

 

I'll admit for a moment I felt so afraid

Just to show you the mess that I made

There are pieces I usually hide

But when you collect me with your steady hand

With a language that I understand

I feel put back together inside

 

You came out of nowhere

And you cut through all the noise

I make sense of the madness

When I listen to your voice

 

Oh, Darling, only you can ease my mind

Oh, help me leave these lonely thoughts behind

When they pull me under

And I can feel my sanity start to unwind

Darling, only you can ease my mind

 

Darling, only you can ease my mind

Help me leave these lonely thoughts behind

When they pull me under

And I can feel my sanity start to unwind

Darling, only you can ease my mind
