Leaving in the Morning
04:25

|
I know you loved with everything you had
And it left you tired
I know you squeezed from yourself
Every drop she required
But you’re with me now
And time keeps moving on
So I gotta say a word to you
I know you gave to satisfy her heart
And all she did was take
I know you dropped the load you beared
So hers wouldn’t break
But you’re with me now and time keeps moving on
So I gotta say a word to you
I need to see some of what you got
I need to feel some of what you fought for her or I am
Leaving in the morning
Leaving in the morning
And I ain’t coming back at all
You won’t see me
I know you threw your weight into the tide
So you two would thrive
And I know she left your sinking ship
As soon as hers arrived,
But you’ve asked me to be yours
And time keeps moving on
So I gotta say a word to you
I need to see some of what you got
I need to feel some of what you fought for her, or I am
Leaving in the morning
Leaving in the morning
And I ain’t coming back at all
You won’t see me
Cause you said you were over it
But I don’t see i t
Over it, now but
Did you mean it
Over it, I didn’t see it
And when you opened up your heart to me, She tried to keep it
You said you cried enough for her But you still were bleeding
I saw it, you know I saw it
You know I saw it, I saw it — and now I
I need to see some of what you got I need to feel some of what you fought for her, or I am
Leaving in the morning
Leaving in the morning
Leaving in the morning
Leaving in the morning
And I ain’t coming back at all
You won’t see me
No

Love Comes
04:19
|
|||
|
At the end of the long night
At the end of the pyrrhic fight
You lost your left and then
You lost your right
At the end of the long day
When she has drifted away
You find there’s nothing more to say
Just rest now, you’ll figure it out
Don’t let it cast a shadow on all you do
Cause you talk too much
Try to plan to much
Just wait, love comes when you need it to
Love comes when you need it to
So many twists and turns
So many lessons learned
So many scrapes and accidental burns
So many wounds inflicted on your blind side
Now you wanna run, you wanna hide
Just rest now, you’ll figure it out
Don’t let it cast a shadow on all you do
Cause you talk too much
Try to plan to much
Just wait, love comes when you need it to
Love comes when you need it to
And I know if you wait
Oh
Love comes when you need

Intentions
04:45
|

|
In a time when your religion is blind
You mean what you say
Your intentions will save you
On a day that’s as dark as it is grey
You’re reaching hard to understand
And your hard work will save you
You haven’t walked where I have
Your faith has you saying
That this is the path
And you haven’t hurt the way I do
But I see you reaching down
And loving me and coming round
When others turn their backs
You love me,
And your intentions will save you
You have blind faith
That I haven’t known
You are okay
It’s something you’ve known all along
And you reach for me
It’s a different language
The way you do pain
The way I’m frustrated
In a time when your religion is blind
And you came back to carry me
And your hard work will save you
On a day that cannot be explained away
Or explained at all, explained at all
Your intentions will save you
We are what we are what we do
When it comes down to it
Not why and what we believes it’s
Who we are is what’s true and I know
That you love me, and it’s not easy
Oh your intentions will save you
Maybe save us both
I got no substitute
It’s you I need the most
Save you

And I don’t need to get over it I
Don’t need it to feel better
It could feel this way forever
Where are you mommage
Why are you gone
You should be here with me
Walking along
I don’t need to get over it
I don’t need it to feel better
It could feel, it could feel this way
Forever
Ahh—

I don’t need to get over it
I don’t need it to feel better It could feel this way forever
Forever

Oh, I—
I don’t need to get over it
I don’t need it to feel better
It could feel
It could feel it could
Where are you gone?

I don’t need it to feel better
It could feel this way
It could feel
Oh I don’t need it, I don’t
It could feel this way for

You Knew Me
07:37

Last night I fell off the world
I was again your little girl
You walked on your side
I walked on my side
Last night, we walked along
Together we sang our little song
Hand in hand
And I swear I woke up
And I swear I woke up
And you - knew me
Ooh
And you - knew me
And you called me by name
Last I fell down through the world
And I found blue and pink and it swirled
I was with you and I was happy
Last night I reached your side
On a beach at high tide
The water lapping
And then I woke up
And I swear I woke up
And you - knew me
Ooh
And you knew me
And you called me by name
And you - knew me
Ooh
And you, you explained to me
That this all had been a game
Last night I drove off the world
I found you, you were a little girl
You walked along laughing
Last night I walked you home
The one you knew, so you would not go alone
I saw you there safely
I saw you there safely
And then I woke up
I swear I woke up
And you knew me
Ooh
And you explained to me
That this all had been a game
Oh and maybe if I woke up
Maybe if I woke up
Maybe if I woke up

Hey pretty mama
Pretty mama, how you be?
Hey pretty mama
Are you watching over me?
Well I hope you turned away last night
Cause I wasn’t who you raised me to be,
Pretty mama, I just wanna make you
Proud of me
Hey pretty mama
Pretty mama, how you be?
Hey pretty mama
Are you watching over me?
If you are, that is good
Just know that I did the best I could
Pretty mama, I just wanna make you
Proud of me
Hey pretty mama,
Pretty mama, how you be?
Hey pretty mama
Are you watching over me?
If you are, let me know
Cause I’ve been worried I’ll end up alone,
Pretty mama, I just wanna make you
Proud of me
Pretty mama, I just wanna make you
Proud of me
