A Kindness to a Need
unreleased
written by Josh David Whitmore & Diesel
I was in love with a generous man
He showed me a kindness and a love of his land
And how to love most unconditionally
And I love
Oh, how I love
I was in love with a pony in time
He taught me to run and leave the world behind
He showed me that I am strong, and wild, and free
And I am free
My love, I'm free
Can I teach you a thing?
Tell me, what do I bring
As I stumble along my way?
Do I offer a gift
That'll give you a lift,
Or soften the strain of your day?
There was a father, he wasn't my own
More like a shaman who could lift my soul
He guided me over a mountain ridge so high
That I would fly
Oh, how I'd fly
And I knew a woman, a girl who would linger
When I was in trouble, she would lift her finger
Her kindness to my need
Can I teach you a thing?
Tell me, what do I bring
As I stumble along my way?
Do I offer a gift,
That'll give you a lift-
Or soften the strain of your day?
I knew a woman, a girl who would sing
She told me that I had a gift to bring
See if you're hiding a treasure inside
Cause somebody needs your arms open wide
There is a love lying soft in the bend
Jump in and see if your heart will mend, and
Treasure the people who mirror your soul
See how a moment of kindness makes you whole?
Grace
unreleased
written by Diesel
Somewhere along the line, did I lose my fire?
Or tire of chasing down some lone desire
Jade is not a color I was born to observe
Bitter not a master I care to serve
So dream of my girl
Of the smile in her world
Pray for my child
Once so free, so wild
I turn to you for grace, will it hold me in?
My independent ways have grown lonely again
So I lie here on your faith, amazing faith
As a merciful breeze blows cross my face
And I dream of my girl
Of the child in her world
I pray for my smile
Once carefree & wild
I strive for one thing above all, humility
My ego rises as it falls
Somewhere along the line, will I find my higher call?
I stand alone in my confession
Weary and deserted, in the midst of a troubled fall
I have uncovered my old passion
Somewhere along the line, did I lose my fire?
Jacaranda Moon
unreleased
written by Josh David Whitmore & Diesel
Someday
I'll fly the nightly sky
Give a hollar to the open road
I'll run & conquer a two-horse town
Share my secrets with a gypsy
Someday I'll take a chance with you
Send my heart out on a spin
One day
I'll dream
And you'll come too
But for now I need my heart in this room
Under this jacaranda moon
Yeah yeah
Someday I'll be a magic trick
A swift illusion of your mind
You'll see I'll open up my soul
Give my all & let it fly....
I know there'll be no missing parts
Won't be today but it won't be long
Chorus
I've been sitting for an hour
Trying to mystify this flower
Will this world let me be?
I've been asking for a minute
For a dream with nothing in it
Will my true love set me free?
I need your hand
Don't you understand?
That for now I need my heart in this room
Under this jacaranda moon
yeah yeah
Ride
Unreleased
written by Diesel & Josh David Whitmore
Hey baby, let's take a drive
Hop on the freeway, matter over mind
It's a free world, I'm a lucky girl
Oh won't you give my life a whirl
And maybe, baby, you'll say you love me
And maybe, baby, we can drive
Hey baby, let's go for a ride
Down by the beach or on a mountainside
When we get there, feel the fresh air
It's blowing through like Sunday's mood
Now baby, maybe I'll heed love's plea
And baby, maybe we can ride
Can't you feel it like a diamond in your eye?
It's not the moment to be asking why
Take a chance now, don't forget how
You looked my way and I became your
Baby, maybe I'll drive you crazy
And baby, maybe we can ride
Just Give me a Pony
Unreleased
written by Diesel
You said you were lonely, darlin
And that's my job to fix
"Don't you grow and change your ways
or throw love in the mix"
Something's got to give a bit
I've got to find some air
Too long since the wild wind
Went running through my hair
I've been sleeping for a while
Shadows covering my smile
But someday I will wake with dawn
Just give me a pony, and I'll be gone......
Hey, hey stranger, stop & stare
I've got my eye on you
I'm following a gypsy girl
With sparkling eyes of blue
I could wait so many years
To brush against her hand
One moment for eternity
Well, I can take that chance
I've been sleeping for a while
Shadows covering my smile
But someday I will wake with dawn
Just give me a pony, and I'll be gone.....
Far from here
Erase my fears
Clear my soul
So I can grow
Oh, this world is gonna kill me if I stay here one more night
If you let me out of this old cage, I know I'll be alright
I will suffocate in power, I will drown in luxury
But give me one good pony and I'll be forever free
It's the simple things that get you through the suffering and strife
God, if I could just be kinder, I would let this be my life
I would let it be my life
I would let it be...
Far from here
Far from here......
Silence Breaks the Thunder
unreleased
written by Josh David Whitmore & Diesel
Oh daddy dearest, in denial
I've been hit with one more trial
I still want to hurt myself
What would make you want to help?
Oh mother world, give me freedom
If I scar, will I stop bleeding?
Pull me in, and wrap my soul
It's feeling down and black as coal!
When my silence breaks the thunder
And this place becomes my own
I just have to stop and wonder
Will I always be alone?
On a night of lazy moon
You told her how you never bled
A woman with a many face
Pulled you on a chain and led
I saw you for a moment once
Lured into a glimpse of free
With one taste, you almost leapt
Dove into a valley green
When your silence breaks the thunder
And my face becomes your own
Do you ever stop and wonder
Will I always be alone?
When your silence breaks my thunder
Will I always be alone?
Oh Daddy dearest, in denial
I'm surviving one more trial
Long Day Down
unreleased
written by Josh David Whitmore & Diesel
Oh the winds, they are changing and the skies are so deep
I'd like to slide right back to my usual sleep
I'd like to take a trip to where the earth isn't moving
You can close me in, I'm getting tired of choosing
I need a lover,
I need a long day down
Got a ticket this morning, got a jerk in my hair
I tried to reason with him but he wasn't "all there"
When you have trials & fears, well, don't you call 'em your own?
Well, he comes crying to me, he'll never leave me alone
I need a lover
I need a long day down
I met the man of my dreams, he stood on pedestal highs
To a new kind of living I would now try to rise
He took my hand in his own, he sat me down for a while
He said "together, you see, we'll go an easy mile..."
"Don't you believe me?
I'll take you further than he!"
I had a feeling this morning when I looked in his eyes
He was almost a stranger I could not recognize
But he hasn't changed a thing, I'm the one on the loose
I gotta slow me down, cause I don't wanna lose him
I need a lover,
I need a long day down
yeah, I need a lover And I need a long day down
Land-Bound Boat
unreleased
written by Diesel
It's just another grey morning
But it's one of a kind
And I'm struggling for air
Right here in my mind
Contradictions at play
You hardly know what to say
But I'm a peace-loving dreamer
I'm staying out of the fray
So get me out of this land-bound boat
It's not likely to stay afloat
If the ending is wrong for me
I'd rather stay at sea
You can take away my luxuries
Cause every one of them are killing me
I'll go on along a gentle breeze
In the morning sun
I don't need all the answers
To go to sleep at night
I don't need no gospel
To figure out wrong and right
Am I a sinner for speaking my mind
Against the powers above?
They'd rather like me to feel like
I'm the only one
So get me out of this land-bound boat
It's not likely to stay afloat
If the ending is wrong for me,
I'd rather stay at sea
You can take away my luxuries
Cause everyone of them are killing me
I'll go on along a gentle breeze
in the morning sun
In the morning sun
In the morning sun
Back to Me
unreleased
written by Josh David Whitmore & Diesel
Can you loosen up a bit?
It's feeling kind of tight
Let's take a few steps back
We're too close to see the light
A little bit of heaven
Now we've taken it too far
There finally comes a time
To find out who we are
I am not part of your fate
Or your ticket to be free
So don't sit around and wait
Cause I'm coming back to me
Are you afraid of losing?
Well, I'm afraid of fear
It's hard to move along
But we can't stay here
The sweetest poison kills
Just like honey it goes down
I burn it in my veins
And lose myself in this old town
I am not part of your fate
Or your ticket to be free
So don't sit around and wait
Cause I'm coming back to me
I'm getting back to me
Can you loosen up a bit?
Highway Girl
unreleased
written by Josh David Whitmore & Diesel
My mind goes racing down the freeway
As your love settles on the breeze
I caught the rhythm of a highway girl
As my heart settled down to sleep
I'm on fire with emotion
A lonely void I call my own
I just can't seem to let you rescue me
From the grey I've always known
I'm dreamin in the sun
My heart's been on the run
I'm wondering in the wild blue world
Am I strong enough to be a highway girl?
This is the dawning of decision
I took the nowhere road again
Will I ever see a lighter day?
Coming welcome, free around the bend
My spirit always weeps on Monday
Have you ever listened to the sound?
There's only one way gonna heal that pain
Crawl down ever deep into my ground
yeah
I'm dreamin in the sun
My heart is on the run, the run
Nothing in the wild blue world
Big enough to beat the highway girl
You're never gonna keep the highway girl
Moving On
unreleased
written by Josh David Whitmore & Diesel
What would you have me do?
To make it up to you
I could run....I could fly
Would that change me in your eyes?
Wonder what's on your mind?
What will your searching find
More of you and less of me
That's as far as I can see
So I will carry you til May
But you'll go on fighting anyway
If you're still looking for the wrong
You'll never see how far I've gone
Cause baby, I'm moving on
How did I change your ways?
Do I live inside your days?
As the one you always saw,
Instead of who I really was
They say that time will heal
But that's not the way it feels
I cannot carry all the blame
It surely will break me once again
So I will carry you til May
But you'll go on fighting anyway
If you're still looking for the wrong
You'll never see how far I've gone
Cause baby, I'm moving on
Baby, I'm moving on.
I Surrender
Big Bad World
written by Joshua David Whitmore & Danny G. Potter
Call me a victim
Well maybe I am
Or maybe just a plain fool
All I know is, I can't help this feeling
ooh, when it comes to you
Chorus:
I surrender
I can't fight it
I surrender
Why even try?
In the heat of the night, with your lips touching mine
I Surrender
I could take you, or I could leave you
Or I could find someone else
But what's the use of trying to fool you?
I can't even fool myself
Chorus
You're taking control
I didn't know a love like this could ever be found
But it looks like you win
I'm giving in
You're breaking my defenses down
Chorus
Gimme A Fix
Big Bad World
written by Diesel & Joshua David Whitmore
Give me a moment
Buy me some time
I'm almost through searching for my piece of mind
Paint me a picture of where I should go
Send me a postcard from my future home
Staring out at my future facing a wall
Would you ever believe I'm scared of losing it all?
Did you ever wonder where time flies?
Where moments quietly slip on by
Did you ever long for those lost goodbyes?
I'm sick & tired of those same old lies!
Chorus:
Oh, Gimme a Fix, a little bottle of tricks
I need a hand to win this round
I found a turn of the style
will pick me up for a while
Won't you help me up off the ground?
Mmm, gimme a fix
Walking down, reminiscing down memory lane
All my life I've been thinking
I'm a little insane
Living dreams of a little girl
Being brave in a big bad world
Is it any wonder why I cry?
But not because I just can't get by!
Chorus
People preaching salvation on a tv show
Saying tell God ya love him,
but he already knows
Everybody telling me what to do
to "see the light" and to "find the truth"
Can you make a storm from a hand-held fan?
Don't hang around with me unless you can!
Chorus
Ain't got no time for no back-talk
Don't criticize me for the way I walk
The more you say, you know the less you hear
See how your mouth covers up your fears?
Chorus
whoa, gimme a fix
yeah, gimme a fix!
Tending My Scars
Big Bad World
written by Diesel
Her mother's a phantom
Her daddy's a ghost
But in a town near her birthplace
She's making the most
She's built her own family but she longs for the old
Some soul to whom her story's been told
And she has been living her child's dream
And she has been seeing through her child eyes
And she has been feeling her child's pain
But she has found her child heart
And me? on an island.
I'm tending my scars
I've learned that the surface joys are not worth the wars
My people rejoice the truth, we have forged a stronger tie
Than those who share DNA
Or blood with a binding lie
And we have been living our child's dream
And we have been feeling our child's pain
And we have been seeing through our child eyes
And we have found our child heart
Bridge
She's reaching for her past, but I've come thousands,
Thousands of miles from my own
Chorus
Our child heart
oh oh
Anything that's Part of You
Big Bad World
written by Don Robertson
I memorized the note you sent
Go all the places that we went
I seem to search my whole life through
For anything that's part of you
You left your sweater on the chair
I hold it close and dream you're there
It helps to soothe me when I'm blue
Anything that's part of you
Oh how it hurts to miss you so
When I know you don't love me anymore
To go on needing you
Knowing you don't need me
No reason left for me to live
What can I take, What can I give?
When I'd give all of someone new
For anything that's part of you
I Believe In You
Big Bad World
written by Lucas P. Gravelle & Pam O'Daniel
We were walking, rainbow talking
Just like dreamers do
I'm so lucky cause I found my heart of gold in you
Love is something to believe in
I believe in you
We were swimming in the ocean
Just like dolphins do
In the sunshine of the moment
All my dreams came true
Love is something to believe in
I believe in you
When you kiss me, my heart flies
I see heaven in your eyes
Love is something to believe in
I believe in you
I believe in you
We were walking, rainbow talking
Just like dreamers do
I Wish You Well
Big Bad World
written by Joshua David Whitmore & Diesel
I wish you well
I wish you well
It's been so many years
Since I cried all those tears
When you tore your life and mine
in two
But now I'm doing fine
I only needed a little time
And I'm truly sad to hear
You're blue
Chorus:
Cause I wish you well
I wish you well
But you're caught in the middle of a hailstorm for a spell
I wish you well
I wish you well
I guess you just can't believe I can say it and mean it,
I wish you well
I always thought you'd be
My hero come to me
That you'd love me for all time
But no
My life is good today
But I love you anyway
And I hope that time will heal all wounds
For you
Chorus
A Little Off Today
Big Bad World
written by Diesel
I used to walk a very straight and narrow path
I saw the end as clear as daylight
I thought I did some growing
And I thought I was all-knowing
But without a warning I have lost my way
I started seeking out a shortcut to my home
I got all tangled up in blue
Now, another corner rounded
Trying to keep my feelings grounded
As I understand what's not so safe but true
And I'm feeling like I'm a little off today
Yesterday was black and white
Tomorrow's looking grey
I've torn my hands up on the rocks today
Trying to get above the rain
You tried to make me give my hope away
You said to listen to my fears
Well, I might have listened for a moment
But they'll be gone
And I will still be holding on to life's great mystery
And I'm feeling like I can rule the world today
I've got it all at my fingers
I found my voice, can't you hear it ringing in?
I got a ticket far up and away
I'm flying over the rain
Today I overstepped a boundary
I took advantage of a friend
I felt so all alone
But then I came into my own
When he promised to forgive me to the end
And I'm feeling like I'm a little off today
I've got a dream and a prayer
But not a breath, or nothing to spare
My mind, my senses have been swept away
Now I'm even running from my prayers
Faith of a Child
Big Bad World
written by Bill Miller
A child will walk
A child will run
A child with faith, faith
will fly
Anita hasn't walked right since she was small
Her legs are short and twisted, not straight and tall
She learned when she was young how to deal with the rejection
Cast into a world with all it's standards of perfection
Most people look away with a downward glance
And as a beautiful young woman she was never asked to dance
But her dreams were just as lofty as the girl next door
And she remembered what her father said when she couldn't take no more
He said
Someday you're gonna soar like an eagle
You will run and never grow tired
You'll become a new creation
If you just keep the faith of a child
Now Anita lives alone in a paper mill town
In a one room apartment on 6th and Brown
She's got a steady job, well it's all right for now
She has plans for moving on if she could make it somehow
Her brown hands are folded as she bows her head to pray
Over donuts and some coffee she made up yesterday
Her mind begins to travel, she gives thanks to the Lord
And an angel stands beside her, points out to the door
And says
Today you're gonna soar like an eagle
You will run and never grow tired
You've become a new creation
For you have kept the faith of a child
The Toughest Girl in the World
Big Bad World
written by Syd Straw & Deborah Conway
I'm not the toughest girl in the world
I know I try and sometimes it works
But I'm not the toughest girl in the world
Since you tore me apart
And it wasn't that hard
I stood on the edge of the whole weary world
I'd had too much, too much to drink
I was looking for more
I'd forgotten my name
But I could still think of yours
I'm not the toughest girl in the world
I know I try and sometimes it works
But I'm not the toughest girl in the world
Since you tore me apart
And it wasn't that hard
Was it?
Spilling it all
My whiskey and tears
Staining my shirt front
Just like some old drunk
In a dimly lit room
There's music somewhere
I've been surrounded, this time I found out
Even the deepest well will run dry
I could fill it with tears
But I'm too tired to cry
I always thought I was strong
But once again, once again I was wrong
Wrong, wrong
I'm not the toughest girl in the world since you
I'm not the toughest girl in the world since you tore me apart
I'm not the toughest girl in the world
The toughest girl in the world
Naomi's Light
Big Bad World
written by Diesel
Beautiful Girl, I saw her walking down the street
Got a glimpse of her smile, not a sign of defeat
With her head held high, quiet confidence shining through
She turns the corner, and I follow her too
She's got something inside and it's shining so bright
She's got something inside, gets her through the night
She's a different kind of girl, and she'll make you look twice
Doesn't know which way the wind is blowing, but it feels nice
She's got something inside
Naomi's light
On a different street, life has taken a turn
You can tell by her face, she's just not concerned
A little closer and you can hear her song in the trees
If you listen inside, it sets your spirit free
She's got something inside and it's shining so bright
She's got something inside, gets her through the night
She's a different kind of girl, and she'll make you look twice
Doesn't know which way the wind is blowing, but it feels nice
She's got something inside
Naomi's light
Can't you see her by the fire tonight?
Angels will keep her in the moonlight
Have You Lost Something, Baby?
Big Bad World
written by Joshua David Whitmore
I see you all over town
With your head hanging down
Like you're looking for something that slipped right through your hands
I guess you've looked everywhere
But it's just not there
Don't you hate when that happens?
It really messes up your plans
Well have you lost something, baby?
Is it driving you crazy?
Well you just had it a minute ago
Where it is well you just don't know
Well is it something you really needed?
Well honey, I know the feeling
Have you lost something baby?
Could it be me?
Night after lonely night
No matter how hard I tried
I'd tell you how I feel
But somehow I was always wrong
But then I found the truth
And I saw the real you
You may have looked like forever
But now my love ain't nothing but gone
Well have you lost something, baby?
Is it driving you crazy?
Well you just had it a minute ago
Where it is well you just don't know
Well is it something you really needed?
Well honey, I know the feeling
Have you lost something baby?
Could it be me?
Well you just gotta face it
There ain't no way to replace it
Well have you lost something baby?
Could it be me?
The Moment Slipped Away
Big Bad World
written by Christine Lavin
She's a famous actress
Movies and TV
I recognize her as we climb
The stairs of the IRT
We cross the street together
We're moving up Broadway
I'm trying to come up with something
Clever I can say
About how I love her work
And what it means to me
How in her most recent film
She acted brilliantly
Maybe she'll think I'm stupid
Maybe this'll make her day
But she disappeared into the crowd
And The Moment Slipped Away
He works the wards of Bellevue Hospital
Mail Delivery
For two years every weekday morning
He said hello to me
We'd joke about the local teams
The weather of the day
Though there were many other things
I really wanted to say
You see, he wasn't like the rest of us
It was a struggle for him to walk
And you had to concentrate really hard
Just to understand him talk
I wanted to ask him
"Where do you get the courage
To come to work each day?"
But I quit that job
I moved along
And The Moment Slipped Away
Kind words don't move the earth
But if it can improve your self worth
Why do I let these moments pass me by
Instead I'm quick to judge
And I'm quick to blame
I'm quick to criticize
Quick to maim
It's hard to change
But I'll try
Oh I'll try
So maybe it's your best friend
Or the next stranger you see
Maybe it's your neighbor
Maybe it's you
Maybe it's me
Who needs to hear encouragement
To make it through the day
Who needs to hear whatever kind words
You might have to say
It doesn't matter where you're going
Or where you have been
`Cuz right now is the perfect moment
For us to begin
To appreciate each other
In new and different ways
Oh please don't let another golden Moment
Slip Away
Appreciate each other
More and more each day
Oh please don't let another golden Moment
Slip Away
Afraid of the Dark
Big Bad World
written by Joshua David Whitmore & Danny G. Potter
When I was young, my mother would say
It's time to go to bed
But I was scared of the images
I'd made up in my head
Then my father would come to tuck me in
And make everything all right
First he'd say I love you
Then he'd turn on the light
Afraid of the dark
Like children
Afraid of the dark
So willing
To give in to the fear that tears us apart
We know in our hearts
There's something greater to keep us safe from harm
But just like little children
We're afraid of the dark
The light is always shining on me
But sometimes I hide my eyes
To cover up the truth
I'm trying so hard to deny
But when I give in and listen again
The father speaks to me
He says he's always with me
So there's no reason to be
Afraid of the dark
Like children
Afraid of the dark
So willing
To give in to the fear that tears us apart
We know in our hearts
There's something greater to keep us safe from harm
But just like little children
We're afraid of the dark
I'm Always Coming Home
I'll Be Ready In A Minute...
written by Joshua David Whitmore, Danny G. Potter, & David Gillon
It don't matter where I am
I am not alone
It don't matter where I go
I'm always coming home
Where could I be satisfied
Only in your arms
Where do I find peace of mind
Right here where you are
When I drift too far away
Following my dreams
Your love bring s me back again
Where I need to be
I can hear you calling me
Whispering my name
Even on the darkest nights
Your love lights the way
Never Enough
I'll Be Ready In A Minute...
written by Diesel
Why are we always thinking grass is greener on the other side?
Tell me, in this life we're living, will we ever be so satisfied?
A man with an average paycheck
Married to his average wife
Living in his average mansion
Anyone would envy his life
Sittin' in his average Mercedes
Listenin' to your average blues
Thinking he'll go down to the basement
To end it all with your average knife
It just wasn't enough for him
It never was as good as it seemed to be
Living in the moment was not for him
He's trying to s et himself free
A woman in a beautiful red dress
Sipping at an average wine
Dining in a fabulous restaurant
Loving husband at her side
Everything she's wanted and much more
But she just doesn't see it that way
Claiming someone else as her soulmate
She breaks her promises and leaves him behind
It just wasn't enough for her
Never was as good as it seemed to be
Living in the moment was not for her
Maybe she was lost in the forest
Maybe she's just too blind to see
So take a look in your lifetime
Starting with your average friend
Do you really know how his life is?
He may have some sorrow to mend
And if you're thinking yours isn't so good
Take a moment to look around
Life will give you what you put into it
And you can always choose how you want it to end
Are you happy with what you've got?
Living in the moment can set you free
Everyday's another gift from above
Wandering around in the forest
As you wander around in the trees
Never take a moment for granted
Take another moment to see
Why are we always thinking grass is greener on the other side?
Tell me, in this life we're living, will we ever be so satisfied?
Doing What the Lonely Do
I'll Be Ready in a Minute
written by Joshua David Whitmore & Jeffrey Allan Chase
She walks into a crowded room all alone
Puts a dollar's worth of quarters in the jukebox
Tries to feel at home
She's only done this a couple of times
It ain't easy but she's made up her mind
She's gotta face being on her own
She's doing what the lonely do
Chasing away the blues
Filling up the empty nights
So she won't hurt inside
Someday her heart will mend
And love will come along
But til then,
Somehow she'll make it through
Doing what the lonely do
He broke her heart and she's not over it yet
But ain't it funny how a stranger on the dance floor
Can help you forget
On one hand she wants somebody new
But on the other, maybe it's too soon
Oh it's so confusing starting over again
Doing what the lonely do
Chasing away the blues
Filling up the empty nights
So she won't hurt inside
Someday her heart will mend
And love will come along
But til then,
Somehow she'll make it through
Doing what the lonely do
Are you the stranger on the dance floor, baby?
Already Somebody's Lover
I'll Be Ready in a Minute
written by Mark Spiro
Maybe he lives in the city
Working on a college degree
Or maybe he's a boy in Paris
Trying to paint a picture of me
So I'm sorry I can't go any further with you
And tonight may be a night I'll regret
See I'm already somebody's lover
He just hasn't found me yet
Maybe he works on the railroad
Or is driving from town to town
Saving his pay for our wedding day
Then he's gonna settle down
He's just looking for a girl to send some flowers to
He's as honest and true as they get
See I'm already somebody's lover
He just hasn't found me yet
I see his face in my dreams every night
And I wake up with the taste on my lips
And he'll never pack it in
Or walk out on me
The way my father did
So I'm sorry that I can't go any further with you
And tonight may be a night I'll regret
But I'm already somebody's lover
He just hasn't found me yet
They Remind Me Too Much of You
I'll Be Ready in a Minute
written by Don Robertson
Take away the scent of flowers
Cover up the sky of blue
Close my ears to tender love songs
They remind me too much of you
Hide young lover's warm embraces
Keep stars and moonlight from my view
Let me forget there are such places
They remind me too much of you
Must I ever more be haunted
Day after day my whole life through
By the memory of each moment
That I spent alone with you?
If these lovely things don't hurt you
Our love just wasn't meant to be
But please come back to me, my darling
If they remind you too much of me
Standing Too Close To The Moon
I'll Be Ready in a Minute
written by Lee Domann and Erik Thorson
There's something happening to my heart
Here tonight with you under the stars
I must be standing
I must be standing too close to the moon
There's a magical light in your eyes
Drawing me like the ocean tides
I must be standing
I must be standing too close to the moon
They say the moon can make you crazy
Well my heart's going crazy for you
My head's in the clouds
And it's all kind of hazy
I must be standing
I must be standing too close to the moon
I must be standing
I must be standing too close to the moon
When you hold me I'm hypnotized
I lose myself in the silver light
Something tells me I couldn't leave if I wanted to
I lose control every time we kiss
I never dreamed I could fall like this
I must be standing
I must be standing too close to the moon
They say the moon can make you crazy
Well my heart's going crazy for you
My head's in the clouds
And it's all kind of hazy
I must be standing
I must be standing too close to the moon
I must be standing
I must be standing too close to the moon
Love Can't Live With Lies
I'll Be Ready In A Minute...
written by Essra Mohawk & Randy Cantor
I can't help but want you with all of my might
And that's why I'm leaving, I'm leaving tonight
Now I can sympathize with all those TV preacher guys
You know, the ones who got caught by surprise
The world got wise
Cause love can't live with lies
Don't try to stop me, don't say a word
Don't cry
I can see it in your eyes
I'm spreading my wings, gonna make like a bird and fly
Love can't live with lies
There's no use in keeping our love on a shelf
Who am I fooling? Not even myself
Now I can sympathize with all those TV preacher guys
You know, the ones who got caught by surprise
And the world got wise
cause love can't live with lies
Don't try to stop me, don't say a word
Don't cry
I can see it in your eyes
I'm spreading my wings, gonna make like a bird and fly
Love can't live with lies
It's gonna be rough
I've never been good with goodbyes
I can't live without your love
And love can't live with lies
Your House
I'll Be Ready In A Minute...
written by Alanis Morissette
I went to your house
Walked up the stairs
I opened the door without ringing the bell
Walked down the hall
Into your room
Where I could smell you
And I shouldn't be here
Without permission
I shouldn't be here
Would you forgive me love
If I dance in your shower?
Would you forgive me love
If I laid in your bed?
Would you forgive me love
If I stay all afternoon?
I took off my clothes
Put on your robe
I went through your drawers and I found your cologne
Went down to the den
Found your CDs
And I played your Joni
And I shouldn't be here
You might be home soon
I shouldn't stay long
Would you forgive me love
If I dance in your shower?
Would you forgive me love
If I laid in your bed?
Would you forgive me love
If I stay all afternoon?
I burned your incense
I ran a bath
I noticed a letter that sat on your desk
It said "Hello, love.
I love you so, love.
Meet me at midnight"
And oh, it wasn't my writing
I better go soon
I t wasn't my writing
So forgive me love
If I cry in your shower
So forgive me love
For the salt in your bed
So forgive me love
If I cry all afternoon
Blue Away
I'll Be Ready In A Minute...
written by Diesel
You can tell me words that cut me down to the ground
Criticize me for the answers I haven't found
You can give me one more reason not to give it a try
But your words will not hold me down
Cause my dreams are here to stay
And my soul will always find a way
I can see the sun shining through the storm
as you're wondering why you're so tired and torn
My dreams are here to stay
And I love the challenge of a rainy day
You know I'll always chase that blue away
You can tell me once again I still don't belong
Point out each and every single time I'm wrong
Temporarily you'll maybe wipe a smile off my face
But discouragement won't stay long
Cause my dreams are here to stay
And my soul will always find a way
You give your best shot trying to pull me down
In the end it kinda turns your world around
It's not your game to play and those really aren't the best words to say
But I don't mind cause I can chase that blue away
You can wish on a star,
But if you don't know who you are
How do you think it might come true?
Don't worry about where I stand on the mountain,
Climb to the top and paint your own damn view!
Cause my dreams are here to stay
And my soul will always find a way
I can see the sun shining through the storm
as you're wondering why you're so tired and torn
My dreams are here to stay
And you'll find me dancing on a rainy day
You know I'll always chase that blue away
oh oh, you know I'll always chase that blue away
Circle is Small
I'll Be Ready in a Minute
written by Gordon Lightfoot
It's alright for some, not all right for me
when the one that your lovin slips around
You think it's fine to do things that I can't see
Well you're doing it to me
Baby, can't you see that I know how it is?
I can see it in your eyes and feel it in the way you kiss my lips
I can hear it in your voice, whenever we are talking like this
It's alright to leave, not alright to lie
When you come back, you can't say where you've been
The city where we live, might be quite large
But the circle is small
Why not tell it all, and all of us will know
I can see it in your eyes and feel it in the way you kiss my lips
I can hear it in your voice, whenever we are talking like this
I can watch the way you walk, and the way you talk
And the way you close your eyes
I can see it in your look when her name is mentioned
And I die
I Wanna Die Young
I'll Be Ready In A Minute...
written by Helen Hudson
I wanna die young at a very old age
Live every chapter of life to the very last page
Keep a song in my heart til the last note is played
I wanna die young at a very old age
There's so many people just biding their time
It's like they're not dying to live
Just living to die
Not me, I'll keep rockin, rockin from cradle to grave
I wanna die young at a very old age
I'll be out taking chances
Learning new dances
Time will not get in my way
I'll be too busy making up new memories
Living my dreams day by day
When my hair turns silver & my feet slow down
I might use different colors, but I'll still paint the town
Taking life's final chance with the last breath I take
I wanna die young at a very old age
Lord, let me die young at a very old age
