In my life you were the strong one
Now the question’s but am I
Not sure what the hell I’m doing
But for you I know I’ll try
When I fell you would catch me
Pick me up and dry my eyes
Now your face is wet with tears
And your pain it makes me cry
Now your life has turned against you
Cut you down in your prime
You built me strong now I can hold you
We’ll get through this you and I
Now it’s my turn to be your shoulder
Not sure how to do it right
Don’t know what the hell I’m doing
But for you I’ll do or die

You Know It's True

I know what you want
I want it to
But it's over now
We're through
I'm not good at pretending
You know it's true
After all this time
After all these years
Look at me now
Here come the tears
I can't go there anymore
You know it's true
Let it go let it go let it go
As the cool winds blow, let it go
You inspire me
you make me more
Here I am walking out that door
the price is too high
you know it's true
I gave you my best
I gave you my all
I'm singing the blues
Coming ‘round this fall
You pushed me over the edge
You know it's true
Let it go let it go let it go
Maybe things will change tomorrow
But as for now let it go let it go

On Your Own

He couldn't play the game again
So he packed it in and now he's gone
Left a note to say that he's leaving
But you can't come along
Now your back home again
Never even got so say goodbye
And you wish you just had the chance
To look him in the eye
On your own
Just up ahead here comes loneliness again
Not alone
Look at the face of you smiling new best friend
Now your standing in the park
Well-wishers seem to never stop
They smile with sympathy
And tell you it's not your fault
Now laying in the dark
Trying to forget the reasons why
He had to take a chance
With everything he had inside
On your own
Just up ahead here comes loneliness again
Not alone
Look at the face of you smiling new best friend
Now it's back to life again
Nothing here has changed at all
And the thought catches up
He won't be coming back next fall
Now you’re back in the dark
Trying to forget the reasons why
Some day life will get better
But you still wanna cry
On your own
Just up ahead here comes loneliness again
Not alone
Look at the face of you smiling new best friend

Bottle Runs Dry

You reach for the stars when it’s right there
Be patient my love the time is near
Out of nowhere, without a sound
What was lost will soon be found
Going to the corner, walking in the park
I'm holding steady while you fall apart
It's all the same at a quarter to three
You look for the stars for your relief
And Who's gonna bring you what you need
Who's gonna be there for you baby
(drinks for free)
Your little world, so cold and empty
Time lasts forever When the bottle run dry
Time lasts forever When the bottle run dry
Walking down the road or down by the sea
Will you remember it was just you and me
Looking in the distance we see the kiddies play
The sun only shines ‘til the end of the day
The dish and the spoon both ran away
But you’re holding steady and I’m here to stay
It’s all the same at half past five
Pray and thank God we’re alive
And Who's gonna bring you what you need
Who's gonna be there for you baby
(drinks for free)
Do my damnedest not to make you cry
Time lasts forever When the bottle run dry
Swear I’ll never let your bottle run dry
(Bottle runs dry)

Familiar Stranger

‘s costing me a fortune
and I haven’t got a dime
Never see you anymore
yet you’re always on my mind
And you live next door
Though your light is never on
And you’re blowing up my phone
While it’s 3 o clock in the morn’
Left side down
And wrong side out
All I wanna do is
scream and shout
You ask about my day
And then you deny me the same
What made you this way?
Can’t even tell me her name.
So are you a friend?
Well aint no reason for it
I see you won’t bend
So I’ll get back up bit-by-bit
get back up bit-by-bit
Left side down
And wrong side out
All I wanna do is
scream and shout
Get back up bit-by-bit

Watch Theif

Here comes the little watch thief
Crawling up to your knees
With Eyes and smile so pleasing
You won’t ever see
She is a little hustler
Never makes a sound
If you try to wrong her
She will stare you down
Robs you Blind
Robs you Blind
She charms you in a second
Pulls down your defenses
You'll never know what hit you
Til everything is gone
She'll make you laugh
And sing a little song
Then you'll look at the time
And see your watch is gone
Robbed you Blind
Robbed you Blind
She’s the little big boss
She’s got all the tactics
Wind blowing in her face
When she makes her exit

Monte Carlo

My mind was Monte Carlo
and yours was wandering, lost
we do our best to make some sense
before our time has turned to ash and dust
I once was a lonely girl
with riches that were barely mine to keep
“Behave yourself” “Don’t talk too loud”
insecurity preyed in my sleep
At fifteen made my great escape
came back to the land where I was born
was lonely in a different place
but not the same way as before
Was curious, I took the wheel
I stretched my limbs out far and wide
gotta holler, gotta squeal,
gotta fall sometimes to find my stride
my freedom stood me on my feet
i wear my heart now on my sleeve
and this is how i released my past
so through the years I lived and learned
I took my chances, won and burned
I hope that you can find yourself at last
My mind was Monte Carlo
and yours was wandering, lost
do our best to make some sense
before our time has turned to ash and dust

Winter

Late now is the hand of spring
Too soon for a wedding ring
The winter air no longer sings
Warmth is a welcomed thing
Long the legs of a newborn fawn
trees shed their powder spawn
Black-eyed Susans on the lawn
Shortest night has birthed the dawn
with the rain, the air smell sweet
puddles gather ‘neath my feet
hearts consent, play for keeps
with lovers sharing a picnic feast
summer dress in long car rides
at night we watch the stars collide
always losing track of time
fall asleep with the sunrise
Weary hearts and anxious minds
do their best to stay in line
long the night clocks rewind
slipping through this grasp of mine
A swig of whiskey to warm my bones
beside the fire that heats my home
light a pipe and smoke alone
may the smell never leave my clothes
Last winter was too much to bare
So hibernate the past nightmare
the more I dream the less I care
of snowflakes in the atmosphere
The fire burns so hot and strong
Warmth inside me all along
I found the place where I belong
and pass the time with a song
Voices of the young and old
The sound of laughter loud and bold
Dreams no longer will be ignored
close you eyes,and grab a hold
