Don't Change Your Mind

I got a headful of smoke
Dust in my mouth
Angry note nailed to my door
I got this funky old house
Full of half-empty closets
Got a great pile of clothes on the floor
Got a mindful of notions, eyes on the ocean
Feet planted deep in the sand
She told me she's leavin'
Well here I go believin' her again
I got bushels of clams
I got moonshine, crawdads
Fajitas and Mexican rice
I got tall margaritas
Got a beer in each hand
Got a case full of champagne on ice
I got every intention of losing the best thing I got
In the worst way I can
She told me she's leavin'
Well here I go believin' her again
May be tonight and it might be tomorrow
It may take some time
But I'm gonna miss you darlin'
I'm gonna miss you darlin'
Yes I'm gonna miss you darlin'
If you don't change your mind
As long as you don't change your mind
I'm gonna make me some news
Gonna drink me some booze
Gonna pick me some guitar tonight
Gonna sing me some blues
Full of hiccups and heartaches
Then I'm gonna walk my legs back to the light
Gonna take this advantage and do me some damage
I'm gonna raise a little help from my friends
She told me she's leavin'
Well here I go believin' her again
May be tonight...

I Still Care

I guess you're no longer mine
But don't forget love, there was a time
When I could say your name and you would run to me
Now you never come at all
Your name rings empty on these walls
My breath grows short from so much callin'
And I'm still waitin' for you darlin'
I know I shouldn't care but I still do
I know I shouldn't care but I still do
Restless legs and hoofbeats drummin'
Signals of the changes comin'
Still I turned my head and I refused to see
I know now that all the signs were there
At the time I didn't dare and now you've made your choices
And all those knowing voices are confronting me
I know I shouldn't care but I still do
I know I shouldn't care but I still do
I know I shouldn't care but I still do
Just the way you used to do
When you used to care about me too
Used to do, used to do
Used to do, used to do
If lovin' me don't make you strong
Darlin' just move along
I never want to hold you from your destiny
If I can't give you what you need
Then go ahead love, leaving me bleeding here for you
The way we started
Back when you brought out the very best in me
I know I shouldn't care but I still do...

Getting Much Too Late
04:18
|
|||
|
There are dark clouds overhead
And they're filling us with dread
For they won't be gone until some truths are spoken
And we know what those truths are
But we're too afraid to start
A conversation that may leave us bent and broken
What is love when it can't be shared?
What is love when there's no one there
To keep the candle burning brightly at your window
Love is gracious, love is glad
So when love turns toward the bad
Let's be thankful for whatever love we still know
Getting much too late
Getting much too late
Getting much too late
There are place we have seen
That we wish we'd never been
And you know how getting burned can make you wary
But if we filter the words we say
If we turn our truths away
We'll be taken down by the secrets we carry
Getting much too late
Getting much too late
Getting much too late
Well our garden is overgrown
And it's covered our happy home
With a spell of tangled vines and dyin' trees
But the spell just needs a kiss
And the one that I surely miss
Was like the gentle taste of sunlight on an ocean breeze
Getting much too late
Getting much too late
Getting much too late

Old gray buzzard wingin' low across the sky
Might be telling you your time has come to die
Death is cold and has no ears to hear you pray
So drop your blanket and make peace with yesterday
Life will beat you down and bend your head in shame
Death is confident and walks without a cane
Death is a color you have never seen before
Waits in the shadows by the keyhole in your door
Always there between your teeth and up your sleeve
When you're gone will there be anyone to grieve?
Life will beat you down and bend your head in shame
Death is confident and walks without a cane
God protects you made the sun to keep you warm
Death accepts you put that needle in your arm
Take the first road you might live to be alive
Take the second you might live before you die
Life will beat you down and bend your head in shame
Death is confident and walks without a cane
Might be years before you draw your final breath
If you wait long enough you'll bore yourself to death
Death is coming with no care as to even why
Old gray buzzard wingin' low across the sky
Doesn't matter what you choose to do today
Doesn't matter what you do or what you say
Life will beat you down and get you either way
Death is confident and walks without a cane

Tango
04:39

What a funny thing to happen
Such a time to fall in love
Outside on the veranda
The moon and stars up above
The tug of a shoulder
The tilt of a chin
Some say it's nothing but I swear this is where it all begins
Then a simple movement forward
Just enough to like the spark
Oh and that's the way it goes when you're in love
And you're dancing in the dark
See how the wind blows
When you're dancing the tango
It seems to follow where the music is going
Making it glorious, this little story of us
How two birds of a feather
Came together as one
And it make be that come tomorrow
This will all have been a lark
Oh but tonight is still tonight and we're in love
And we're dancing in the dark
Such a lovely time of year to be alive
And both dancing in the dark

Eyes of Blue
04:43
|

Daybreak plays upon the mountain in sunlight and gold
Fate takes its place on my horizon
Tomorrow might turn cold
You keep feeding me reasons I already have
You keep feeding me whether my reasons be good or bad
Eyes of blue
Eyes of blue
Eyes of blue I love you too
The way you walk across the room
Lost in thought
Smiling at the little things only you see
You always speak the truth to me
When all around are lying
Your voice is all I need
Eyes of blue, only a fool can't see you
Eyes of blue
Eyes of blue
Eyes of blue I love you too

Letting Go of Holding On
02:13
|

Lie in bed and slowly die
Or take the wheel and turn this boat around
Fade to black or turn to light
Lift your feet and step back on the ground
Look to me for I have found a way
Used to be tomorrow, now today
Look to me and I'll be gone
Letting go of holding on
Lie in bed and slowly die
Should you decide there's no place else to go
Or take part and live your life
You may be much stronger than you know
So sad to see how love just bleeds away
Used to be tomorrow now today
Used to be is dead and gone
Letting go of holding on

The True Test of a Blade
04:22
|

The true test of a blade
Is the wound that lasts forever
Promises we made one day to be severed
The true test of a blade
Is the space between two lovers
Compromises made and the ground you can't recover
The true test of a blade
Is the courage in your mind
To cut the ties that bind you to another life
You must leave behind
Love remains
Love and pain
Love always remains
The true test of a blade
Is knowing when you're bleeding
You might be afraid
The time has come for leaving
The true test of a blade
Is the path you cut toward freedom
Where old mistakes you made are forgotten or forgiven
The true test of a blade
Is the courage in your mind
To cut the ties behind you and join the other life
The one you'd hoped to find
Love remains
Love and pain
Love always remains

The day has gone and fooled us in to thinking
We had almost solved the problems of the world
Again
And now the moon turns away the sun
Takes us by the arm and says "it's time my dears"
"Goodnight and sweet dreams"
And so entwined with no time left to borrow
We can only hope tomorrow will be as we planned
So take my hand
Lay here by my side with your sleepy eyes and say
It's not goodbye my love, it's only sweet dreams
It's not goodbye, just sweet dreams
We fall asleep without a sense of knowing
Where it is we will be going
Or just who we'll see
We dream, we breathe, everywhere it seems
And sometimes in between
And all I ever want for you my love, is sweet dreams
This is not goodbye, it's only sweet dreams
