Long Gone

Don’t be gone for too long
Because I can’t stand being alone
There are ghosts in this house
And they don’t bother coming out
Until you’re long gone
Time for you, is hope for me
And you say it’s exactly what we need
So I’ll sigh, skeptically
Because I know just what those pretty words mean
They mean you’re long gone
Sometimes this life feels never ending
A story made up as we go
Maybe it’s a joke and I’m the punchline
But I’ll be your man anyway I can
I even drew up my battle plans
Too late, you’re long gone

Sun Never Rises

How long were you there
How long did I stare
Before I knew
The blind man he said
Boy use your head
Open your eyes
The whispering pines
Told me their lies
I didn't need
The words that you wrote
Before you left my load
Won't let me be, They stick with me
Because you said the sun never rises
On the man who can't love himself
I say the sun never rises
It never rises without you
Now the setting sun
Has told you to run
Don't look behind
And though I will say
That I am to blame
I still hold on, You're lost not gone
You said the sun never rises
On the man who can't love himself
I say the sun never rises
It never rises without you
Oh, the night is so long
You said the sun never rises
On the man who can't love himself
I say the sun never rises
It never rises without you

Magnolias Bloom

Hold on to my hand
As we run for distant lands
And I know, I'm scared too
But I swear it'll be over soon
And while we wait
The magnolias bloom
And while we wait
The magnolias bloom
And if we keep on waiting, we'll be dead soon
As we fly, don't keep your eyes closed
Just watch the blackbirds below
The mighty rivers look like streams
In this midnight moonlight gleam
And while we wait
The magnolias bloom
And while we wait
The magnolias bloom
And if we keep on waiting, we'll be dead soon
And I know
It can't be done
We can't let go
Take off, and run
But I will hold on to this dream
Like a fire to gasoline
And while we wait
The magnolias bloom
And while we wait
The magnolias bloom
And if we keep on waiting, we'll be dead soon

Russian Roulette
02:47
|

|
I met a cold hearted woman
Eyes as black as the night
She carries a six-shooter
Oh boy, I'm in her sights
She's playing
Russian roulette
With my heart
Now I'm not one for weapons
Never choose war over peace
But that woman, she's got a militia
And she's headed straight for me
She's playing
Russian roulette
With my heart
She's playing
Russian roulette
With my heart

Summer Love
02:44
|
|||
|
Paint me a portrait with your words
The smallest details
The color of your dress
The smell of July air
Was the sun high
Or a moonlit night
Dandelion fields
In my mind
When the snow's falling down
There's nothing better to hear
The summer stories
Of yesteryear
We've all had summer love
Fleeting moments in time
Precious seconds
Where passion reigns
