Return to me, sweet thing X2
You don’t know, what you’re missin
Me and all your friends
Don’t know where you’ve been
I’ll buy your ticket home
Fly–fly from coast to coast
Return to me, sweet thing X2
You don’t know, what you’re missin
Do do do do do Do do do do do
Do do do do do Do do do do do
You’re still fast asleep, out in a boat in the China Sea
I’d say anything - do anything
To bring you home to me
Return to me, sweet thing X2
You don’t know, what you’re missin

Brewster's Red Hotel
04:22
|

|
I see you in the morning glory
glory, glory, glory, hallelujah
On the avenue, where I met you
I listen to your story, story
Ain’t a girl who likes to worry, worry
Where she’s going to, never sad or blue
Near the river that leads to a wishin’ well
A place to hide when the world has gone to hell
Brewster's Red Hotel X3
In the winter always snowin’ snowin’
Cold winds always blowin, blowin, blowin
Sun shining through, when I’m with you
Outside the rivers flowin, flowin
Never knows where it’s going, going, going
Sounds like you, the day I fell
Near the river that leads to a wishin’ well
A place to hide when the world has gone to hell
Brewster's Red Hotel X4
I see you in the morning glory
glory, glory, glory, hallelujah
On the avenue, where I met you
Bridge
Up the hill where we tied the knot
See forever - from the parking lot
In the valley that time forget to tell

House Of Cards
03:42
|
|||
|
You ridicule all my little whims and all my moods
that I throw at you oooooh oooooh oooooh oooooh
This tiny room, I share with you
we've outgrown the love, I thought we built for Two
oooooh oooooh
CHORUS
Love….(uh uh uh) is house of cards
When you push too hard - comes crashing down
I - I love you now - just the way you are
I’m not in the mood, to tell you the truth
Spit out the words, the way you want me to
oooooh oooooh
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I’m a falling kite
You’re a shining star
You’re my pill in the night
And I need you now
yeah I need you now

Rock in a Place
03:27
|
|||
|
There's a rock in a place, that used to be my heart
I’ve found some grace, between my empty arms
for you
There's a tree out back, that used to block the Sun
It hides my scars, Seen by everyone
But you
That’s on me, Love takes time
It’s hard to love someone like me
Who won’t give you a reason
wait for me - love takes time
I'll be there tonight
I'll be there like the big oak tree outside
Got a heart of a child, Like a dog – in the wild
But the years have worn me down
The rain outside, falling on the floor
Beats in time - To a song
I’ve never sung before
To you
There's a rock…. in a place
that used ……..to be my heart

Winter of Herself
03:36
|
|||
|
She looked inside the winter of herself
Where her footsteps fell, the stones turned white
Just chilling in the August night
And she shook like a leaf
Looking in my eyes - what she saw
Wasn’t right
Winter came much earlier that year
And all her hope, would turn to ice
CHORUS
She had the right to know
Where all of this might lead
She was free to go
To tell the truth - Or run away
From me
I thought that we might live contentedly
on the edge, of the world, In a hollow tree
I carved my initials on that tree
That she might read
on a summer day - and find her way
home to me
But Spring would come much earlier that year
with all her love, ratified
CHORUS
She had the right to know
Where all of this might lead
She was free to go
To tell the truth - Or run away
She was free to go
Somehow she got lost
footprints in the snow
They’d melt away - On her summer day
Near the hollow tree

Brighter Sun
03:45
|
|||
|
There must be a brighter sun
for those who’ve reached the top
of the hill - off in the distance
And there should be no longing in love
but there is…I want it still
and I won’t give up, I won’t give in
There a brighter sun for me
Up on the hill
At the end of my street
Near the top of that hill, there’s a lake
off in the distance
We met long ago
never gave yourself away
But when you did - I was smitten
And there should be no longing in love
but there is…I want you still
and I won’t give up, I won’t give in
There a brighter sun for me and you
Up on the hill
And when I’m gone
You know right where to find me
In the fading sun at the top of the hill
You’ll come running - I know you will
yeah I know I will
There a brighter sun for me and you
Up on the hill
It’s a long, hard climb, but I’d never leave you behind
If I did, I’d really miss you
And there should be no longing in love
but there is…I love you still
and I won’t give up, no..not until
There a brighter sun for me and you
Up on the hill

The Day My Beauty Died
03:38
|
|||
|
I wiggle and shake - I’m digging my grave
Right next to a tree - up the hill In the shade
I’m walking outside - there‘s nothing but rain
No magic hat - Gonna save the day
Chorus
Hard edges and a misspent life
Hard edges indeed
I’m picking up speed
There’s signs of life
At The scene of the crime
On the day my beauty died
I’m riding a wave - Could be a fake
No room for candles - On my cake
Up up and away - Who’s flying the plane
We’re going down - a ball of flames
Chorus
Bridge
Don’t seem fair - it ain’t right
I talk to Jesus - almost every night
Shut it down - let it go
As we fade to black and white
On the day my beauty
On the day my beauty
On the day my beauty died
On the day my beauty died

I Saw The Buddha
05:12
|
|||
|
I was standing, on my front porch
I saw the Buddha, right next door
In the garden, late last night
I saw the Buddha, in the flickering light
I saw the Buddha, looked like a cat
Looked right at me, I looked right back
Didn’t fool me, He was made of stone
Turned his tail, went right home
No illusion
I saw the Buddha
Chorus
I fell asleep on a cold mountain
Cuz what I need, ain’t worth wanting
What I feel, I can see
Every bird and every tree
I saw the Buddha
I saw the Buddha
on a cold mountain
Cuz what I need, ain’t worth wanting
I saw the Buddha, at my front door
Wasn’t sure, who he was looking for
So I asked him to step inside
He begged me for a glass of wine
Chorus

Big Red Blanket
03:57
|
|||
|
Just a lighter and a cigarette
These are two things, I'd just soon forget,
Baby please don't remind me
of the days when I was reckless
The two of us…oooh what a pair
10,000 drinks and a broken down chair
Saved by our warm little bed
From the days when I was reckless
CHORUS
Let’s do what lovers do best
Put our sweet love to the test
Safe in our warm little bed
Under a big — big red blanket
Safe From the days when I was reckless
In a snowstorm one night, I was driving
with only one eye on the road
Baby please don't remind me
of the days when I was reckless
BRIDGE
Sometimes love ain’t quite – big enough
Only one ticket for the show
And the high road ain't no road worth traveling
And we really got nowhere to go
Got nowhere to go
CHORUS
