If you don't love her, you'd better let her go
You'll never fool her, you're bound to let it show
Love's so hard to take when you have to fake
Everything in return, you just preserve her
When you serve her a little tenderness

If she's a woman, she'll try to make it last
If you're a man now you'd better end it fast

Well I ain't goin' down that big long lonesome road
Pretty baby don't you hear me talkin'
No I ain't goin' down that big road by myself
If I can't carrry you baby
I'm gonna get me someone else

Alright boys
Well the sun is gonna shine in my back door some

When I was a girl, my favorite thing
In the whole wide world
Was to see a field and
Run for no reason
And off I'd go, no one behind
Only earth below
Just a patch of green, green as the season
Don't ask why, your feet just fly

Listen to my bluebird laugh
She can't tell you why
Deep within in her heart, you see
She knows only crying
Oh just lie

There she sits, a lofty perch
Strangest color blue

I could say what I mean
(or I could dance around it)
It would feel good to scream
(I should quiet down)
I could be recognized
(or I could stay in bed)
Look the world in the eyes
(or just hang my head)

I know it's hard sometimes
And things seem larger than they are
But if you need to tell someone
That's what I'm here for
Cry on my shoulder
I'll help you rise above
Cry on my shoulder, my love

There are angels singing low inside my head
Cool tango blue and samba red
I want to scratch your name upon my wall
Cause I'm drowning here beneath love's waterfall

Deep water
Deep water

This old house is falling down around my ears
I'm drowning in a river of my tears
When all my will is gone you hold me sway
I need you at the dimming of the day

You pull me like the moon pulls on the tide
You know just where I keep my better side

Come around cryin' that you just can't win
You thought this one was different' now it's gone again
You just can't believe, baby
Why's it happenin' to me now

You step out on the track in the pouring rain,
And when you get run over will you blame the train?
You just can't deny, baby,

Come my love
Come bravely to me
Let your heart be still
For our time
Has come my tender one
To be free of will

And fly

Something in your eyes
Makes me want to lose myself
Makes me want to lose myself
In your arms

Theres something in your voice
Makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts

Their eyes are down and the track looks slow
It don't look like a good thing
Your horse could jump it when the pack runs wild
It don't look like a sure thing

You must be crazy
To gamble this way
The kids are crying

I'm down here workin' at my job
But I just can't concentrate
You keep messin' with my mind, baby
Yeah, I'm circlin' round the bait
I got to take off early
I got to get you home
I'm gonna show you little woman
Why a dog loves a bone

God was in the water that day
Pickin' through the roots and stones
Trippin' over sunken logs
Tryin' not to make his presence known

God was in the water that day
Wadin' in careful steps

Yeah baby, I've been drinking,
And I shouldn't come by I know
But I found myself in trouble darling,
And I had nowhere else to go

Got some whiskey from a bar man,
Got some cocaine from a friend
I just had to keep on moving,

Well, that highway moon is calling
like some lover from some other land
Before the dust can settle,
I'll kick it up and tear it down again

I've got the wanderlust
It's somewhere else or bust
Yeah, I'm just a

Hey Mister, we want you to know
We think, you've taken this about as far as it can go
It's about to blow
You got nowhere to run
Why don't you sit back and watch the show?

You used to drop your little darlin' off at Sunday school
Family values while you're gettin' some behind the pool

Where were you when I was fallin' down
Buzzin' round your heart
Why'd you wait till I was moving on
To come out of the dark
To say I'm what you need
And you could spend your life with me

Well I can't help you now

Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize
Don't patronize me

'Cause I can't make you love me If you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't

"I Feel The Same"
Chris Smither

Say goodbye,
Well I know it's true.
I know you're leaving me but I,
I'm leaving too.
You won't forget me,

I need love
And I search it everyplace I go
And lately I been in a zone
It's got a will of its own
But right now I'm here to discuss
Just what you think about us
I need love, I need love

I've had bad dreams too many times,
to think that they don't mean much any more.
Fine times have gone and left my sad home,
friends who once cared just walk out my door.

Chorus:

Love has no pride when I call out your name.

The men that I've been seeing, baby
Got their soul up on a shelf
you know they could never love me
When they can't even love themselves

But I need someone to love me
Someone to really understand
Who won't put himself above me

Wounded heart I cannot save you from yourself
Though I wanted to be brave, it never helped.
‘Cause your trouble’s like a flood raging through your veins
No amount of love’s enough to end the pain

Tenderness and time can heal a right gone wrong,
but the anger that you feel goes on and on.
And it’s not enough to know that I love you still

You dust the bottles on the bar counter
You're writing screenplays on the side
Three nights a week can keep a girl workin'
Sometimes it's good to lose your pride

These things we do to keep the flame burnin'
And write our fire in the sky
Another day to see the wheel turnin'

It starts out slow
With go ahead and go
Pretty soon, the melody is like a rainstorm tin roof symphony
But it starts out slow
It goes on and on
For way too long
It always ends on a bad note
If you could dance at all, you'd dance alone

You come home late from work, baby
You wonder why it ain't on the table
After the day that I've had
I don't believe I'm able
You give me every little reason in the book
But there's one thing that I think you've overlooked
You say you're tired, well so am I
Baby you've got to try and

You took a part of me that I really miss
I keep askin' myself how long it can go on like this
You told yourself a lie - that's alright, mama, I told myself one too
I've tried to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you.

You took the silver, you took the gold
You left me standin' out in the cold
People ask about you, I didn't tell them everything I knew

All you got is this moment
The twenty-first century's yesterday
You can care all you want to, baby
Everybody does, yeah, that's okay

So slide over here and give me a moment
Your moves are so raw, I've got to let you know
I've got to let you know, you're one of my kind

A friend of mine she cries at night
And she calls me on the phone
Sees babies everywhere she goes
And she wants one of her own
She's waited long enough she says
And still she can't decide
Pretty soon she'll have to choose and it tears her up inside
She's scared, scared she'll run out of time

Yes, I'm lonely- hope you didn't catch it
Don't want to be down where I last behaved
I broke his heart now I can't patch it
This time it's grave.

I kept track of all the love that I gave him
And on paper, well, it looked pretty good
He left a note that said he couldn't stay here

I was in a daze, movin' in the wrong direction
Feelin' that I'd always be the lonely one
Then I saw your face, on the edge of my horizon
Whisperin' that I wasn't the only one
The lonely one

One chance intervention, see what it can signify
The slightest misapprehension, baby

Last night I thought I found you
I saw it in a dream
I was tangled in the rushes, baby
You were caught up in the stream
And the more I tried to reach you
The more you slipped away
And when I woke up in the darkness
I was callin' out your name

Well you've heard about love givin' sight to the blind
My baby's lovin' cause the sun to shine
She's my sweet little thing, she's my pride and joy
She's my sweet little baby, I'm her little lover boy
Yeah I love my baby, heart and soul
Love like ours won't never grow old

She's my sweet little thing, she's my pride and joy

Don't want no secret agent
Don't need no long Cadillac
Don't want nobody with no problems
I don't need a man with a monkey on his back
I want a real man
I said a real man
I need a real man
Ain't messing with no toy

The wind blows through the valley
It's warm and hard and wild
It gets all up inside the trees and shakes the leaves all night
They shake up through the mountains
They shake up to the sky
They shake up to the moon above and then it starts to shine

And Lord it makes me tremble

when you just give love
and never get love
you'd better let love depart
i know it's so
and yet i know
i can't get you out of my heart

you made me leave my happy home

People are talking, talking 'bout people
I hear them whisper, you won't believe it
They think we're lovers kept under cover
I just ignore it, but they keep saying
We laugh just a little too loud
We stand just a little too close
We stare just a little too long
Maybe they're seeing something we don't, darlin'

There's a howlin' at my window
I hear him closin' in
That green-eyed jackal's got the scent
Knows I'll let him in
He slinks in by me at the fire
More bitter than the cold
And it's a rage as old as Hades
That'll sputter on these coals

Daylight, I think about you and wonder where you are
At night I'm wishing, looking at the stars,
But I don't worry 'bout you, I know that soon you'll be home.
But while you're gone

Take my love with you.
Let it be the light that sees you through,
Chase away your blues.

Gonna get into it
Down where it's tangled and dark
Way on into it, Baby
Down where your fears are parked.
Gonna tell the truth about it,
Honey that's the hardest part.
When we get through it, baby
You're gonna give up your heart.

Sittin' here thinking, baby, about you
I'm wonderin' how I ever got through my life without you
Days passed me by and left my life somewhere behind
Games I was trying left me old before my time
You came into my life almost like you knew
The time was running out
I came running home with you
You taught me how to love you

All the ways I cared for you
Are working like you want them to
As I break down and you stay strong
I write my own forgiveness song

I try to lie down and sleep it off like a drug
But it's not your concern
Another night and it's only right

Let's run naked through these city streets
We're all captives of captivity
Let's wear madness like a crucifix
Let's tattoo Bible quotes across both our hips

[Chorus:]
Let's get back to the fundamental things
Let's get back to the elements of style

Don't have to humble yourself to me
I ain't your judge or your king
Baby, you know I ain't no Queen of Sheba
We may not even have our dignity
This could be just a powerful thing
Baby we can choose you know we ain't no amoeba
Are you ready for the thing called love
Don't come from me and you

I got a new thing
Not like the last one
This is an upgrade model
The kind that really blows my mind
Back in the fast lane, the get up and go one
I'm leaning heavy on the throttle
Ain't no backing of this time
'Cause when you really get down to it

Jesus cried, wept and died
I guess he went up to heaven
I've been downtown such a long, long time
I'll never make it home by seven
Won't you come and take me home
I've been too long at the fair
And Lord, I just can't stand it anymore

So now there's somebody new
These dreams I've been dreaming
Have all fallen through
You say I'll be fine
It only takes time
Someday that may be true
But it's too soon to tell
Ah, it's too soon to say

When I was a kid
I had a little record
I played it over and over
Each and every day.

Bonnie Raitt-Two Lights In The Nighttime
(Lee Clayton/Pat McLaughlin)

No river can hold you darlin'
No covers can hide you tying your shoes
My cupboards are overflowing
The wine is sublime I'm flyin' too

Ah, don't let me grow bitter I pray
Give me strength to carry on my way

I'm leanin' on you like a wooden cane
Well, I'm walkin' through, I'm walkin' through the valley of the pain

I'm believin' there's a reason for this trial'
This too shall pass in a little while

As simple as breathing, I picture your face
All tangled in daydreams and shielded with grace
I feel you beside me again

Wherever you may be, lift up your head for me
There's somewhere in my heart, only for you
If I must do without, I'll let these sparks fly out
Across the wilderness from me to you

Rain is pourin' down like the
heavens are hurtin'.
Seems like it's been dark since
the devil knows when.
How do you go on, never knowin'
for certain,
Will the sun ever shine again?

Women be wise, keep your mouth shut, don't advertise your man
Don't sit around gossiping, explaining what your good man really can do
Some women nowadays, Lord they ain't no good
They will laugh in your face, Then try to steal your man from you
Women be wise, keep your mouth shut, don't advertise your man

Your best girlfriend, she might be a highbrow, she changes clothes 3 times a day
What do you think she's doing now, while you're so far away

Wounded heart I cannot save you from yourself
Though I wanted to be brave it never helped
'Cause your trouble's like a flood ragin' through your veins
No amount of love's enough to end the pain

Tenderness and time can heal a right gone wrong
But the anger that you feel goes on and on
And it's not enough to know that I love you still

Nobody else can make me happy
No one could hurt me like you do
You were the only one that mattered
Then you were gone
Love had moved on
Left me alone
Thinking of you
There was never any other

есть уголок славный такой
там небеса глядят с улыбкой сливаясь с рекой
левее небраски как раз под горой
что за райское местечко боже мой

зелень кругом всюду цветы
ты никогда дружок не видел такой красоты
ей богу прелестный тут есть уголок

Капает вода и по трубам стекает,
Ветер не устал листья с веток срывать,
И в природе все об одном лишь мечтает -
Чтобы cолнце взошло опять...

Много долгих дней ураганы грохочут,
Где простор полей и дарит благодать.
И душа тоскует, и сердце так хочет,
