Come To Mama

Storm it was a blowing in
Twister was about to spin my way
kitchen door was swinging wide
As if to say come on inside and stay

Come to mama babe
Come to mama she say
Come to mama baby

Get yourself down to a cellar
Gals go grab yourself a fella before it's too late
Friend you'd better run for cover
Don't be caught alone out on Lover's Lane

Come to mama babe
Come to mama she say
Come to mama baby

It's best to make the most of this
Fate is known to twirl and twist even the face
Of the first girl I kissed
I can't recall, can't recall

Preacher was reaching in
The speaker wire calling out my name
Son we're in the final hour
Making love you ought to be ashamed
But if that woman ever stare you down
The way she do you'd see it ain't that plain

Come to mama babe
Come to mama she say
Come to mama baby

It's best to make the most of this
Fate is known to twirl and twist even the face
Of the first girl I kissed
I can't recall, not at all

Come to mama babe
Come to mama she say
Come to mama baby


Lyrics by Grant-Lee Phillips

Come What Way

Stood in the doorway all chipped of paint
Throw up your hands and you turn on your heels
You had the child so you gave a couple of years more
But now it's time, feel it tugging at your sleeve

Girl, ain't a better time
You only get one shot
One swing
One time around
Ain't a better time

Your mama said 'Baby come on home'
Except for the whir of the engine
Gonna do it on your own
New school for your boy, well thats okay
The ship came and it sailed away

Girl, ain't a better time
You only get one shot
One swing
One time around
Ain't a better time

You pray you're right about something
Give enough, things will come your way
Oh let me tell you one thing
With open arms, honey
Come what may
Honey, come what may

Girl, ain't a better time
You only get one shot
One swing
One time around
Ain't a better time

End of December with the year in hand
Weathered the storm and you're here to stand
Whatever happens at the end of the day
With open arms, honey
Come what may

At The Bar

Spent most of my life it seems
In and out of bars
From one side of the world to the other, child
Hiding in the dark

You can lose the hurt in a room of people
A room of strangers at that
For the singing and the pretty ladies
It keeps coming back

I don't wanna be at the bar no more
Crying into a stranger's drink
I just wanna be in your arms
Want love to be the death of me

Started easy on the open road
I was driving with a busted light
First bar with a neon sign
Oh man I got to feeling right

An old timer well he sidled over
Said he liked his whiskey neat
Said 'Son I'm gonna die in this here bar
Shuffle over 'cos you're in my seat'

I don't wanna be at the bar no more
Crying into a stranger's drink
I just wanna be in your arms
Want love to be the death of me

Pulled over to the side of the highway
Swear I never been so low
Is it the drink or the tears I cried?
Either way I couldn't see the road

So I'm walking to your mama's place
God knows that it's the middle of the night
And if I wake her and this whole damn town
Too bad I'm gonna treat you right

The Light

I know you wanna be heard
Don't wanna be here
Don't wanna be hurt
Just wanna be understood
Is that too much to ask?

Yeah you made some mistakes
Not sure of yourself
Don't wanna be left
Don't need to be out in front
Looking for that place

When it's all on the line
Held up to the light
I just wanna be able to show you
It'll be alright

Don't you ever look back
Don't you ever come clean
Everything that you knew
Everything that you had is gone
Son, open your eyes

When it's all on the line
Held up to the light
I just wanna be able to show you
It'll be alright

Steady Life

Steady train passing by my window
Shakes the very floor boards
Ain't sleeping though it ain't the noise
Somethings calling to me now
Feel lost with map in hand
Lonely in a crowded place
Pretty Mary's leaning over the bar
Raise the glass of wine in her hand
Toast it to the steady life

Oh babe no matter what I say
I'm pining for the steady life
Oh babe no matter what I say
I'm pining for the steady life
Seven years are gonna change a man
But I don't ask you cut me slack
I'm just driving down a one way street
So the sooner gone sooner back
Pining for the steady life

Bright eyes tearing up at me
Blue like the summer sky
Second guessing I'm making ground
There's a late change a coming in
You know I miss you, can you hear me babe?
I still love you
That weren't the question, though not in vain
You're asking for the steady life
And I wanna give you what is right

Oh babe no matter what I say
I'm pining for the steady life
Oh babe no matter what I say
I'm pining for the steady life
Seven years are gonna change a man
But I don't ask you cut me slack
I'm just driving down a one way street
So the sooner gone sooner back

I know it seems like I got a ways to go
To catch up with you but time is slow

You know I miss you can you hear me babe?
I still love you
And I'm pining for the steady life

Land Is Burning

If the rivers that run dry
Lead you to the rusted beach
That lie beneath the rising tide
Let it be you who lay me down

From the flaming yellow hills
Through the valley of our scars
I give you back that which I stole
Let it be you who lay me down

There was no light to begin
But something stirred from within
I was a victim my whole life
But the land is burning now
Oh the land is burning

When the winds that howl and moan
Call for promises long made
Take the poison be it quick
Let it be you who lay me down

There was no light to begin
But something stirred from within
I was a victim my whole life
But the land is burning now
Oh the land is burning now
Oh the land is burning now
Oh the land is burning
I'm crawling on my knees

Things Fall Apart

Been driving from the end to the start
Steady moving, going against the grain
It ain't easy when its coming from the heart
Hide from it but it's coming back again

A fine line 'tween something that you love
Something that you can't get enough
Something that you lost in the dust
Washed clean by the water in a flood

Darling, I told you from the start
Darling, things fall apart

Heard you singing from the house on the hill
Like a dream, except something I could feel
I swear you saw me though you say that isn't true
I said I love you, well love you never knew

A fine line 'tween something you defend
Something that we just couldn't mend
Does it matter? Any roads got a bend
You used to tell me every story's got an end

Darling, I told you from the start
Darling, things fall apart
I want you to know
It's no reflection on yourself
Darling, things fall apart

There's no meaning in this
I don't have the answers I guess
Anymore
This time's for real

How were you to know?
It's no reflection on yourself

Darling, things fall
I want you to know
Darling, things fall apart

At The Seams

Full moon is shining down
Lit up like the silver screen
Wrapped up in the wire
People praying to a new belief

This river winds around
Watch the rapid jump and dance
Throw a stone to the other side
Barely make it half the way

This blood that's in my veins
Flowing like the river carved
A valley into the land
Heart is swelling fit to burst

When this world has swallowed up
Everything you ever loved
Everything you ever feared
Will come to greet you face to face

But you and I were supposed to be something
It's not just any other day that I believe
Now you're seized up like a dirty old machine
Got a heart falling apart here at the seams

This winter opened up
Eyes I thought were tight shut
Put a coat on brave the wind
At least you'll numb your face and hands

This shelter's strong enough
But is there room to move inside?
The road is long and dark and wet
The keys are in your hand

But you and I were supposed to be something
It's not just any other day that I believe
Now you're seized up like a dirty old machine
Got a heart falling apart here at the seams

I Let You Be

Get on the train my love at once
I can't take one minute more
Do not stop and turn, and do not wave
Do not blow me a kiss, my darling sweet

Get on the train my love and ride
Let it take you home into the night
Do not dream of me, and do not write
Do not for one second think of coming back

I'm gonna walk home darling
Take whatever path is given me
Lead me down to hell, don't matter
I let you be

Get on board my love, it's time
Time to close this chapter off for good
I am weary from this last dance
I am burdened by the sins of my whole life

I'm gonna walk home darling
Take whatever path is given me
Lead me down to hell, don't matter
I let you be

It's Not Hard

You were raised a Christian, honey
I was brought up under cover of
Sun and sky
We would meet in early evening
Just as sun was setting in the cold
Holding hands
We had a love so simple, honey
We had a love so pure oh despite
What we knew
But life's about direction, darling
One day moving, one day come apart
In front of you

It's not hard to cross the earth or the sea
It's not hard to cover ground on the breeze
There are things I struggle with, that is true
But it's not hard to stay in love when it's with you

I moved on to big things, honey
Bought a house and made my money back
Sold it on
You went on to marry someone
And I heard you had a couple kids
Ran aground
But life's about direction darling
One day moving, one day looking back
Back at you
I was doing more the later
I stopped moving, started turning back
Back to you

It's not hard to cross the earth or the sea
It's not hard to cover ground on the breeze
There are things I struggle with, that is true
But it's not hard to stay in love when it's with you

Up On The Hill

Up on the hill, back on the land
An old grey house it sits
My mama don't live there no more
My father left town years before
Some memories ain't good
But they're all that I have
I went back to look for myself

Sometimes a marriage breaks down
Sometimes your heart just ain't there
But when he packed his bags
Night before Christmas Eve
I grew up thinking life just wasn't fair

My sister, she wanted to dance
Dreamed all her life of ballet
When her legs wouldn't carry
It broke her pretty heart
Mama she weeps to this day

My father and me didn't talk
Twenty odd years went by
But I got to thinking
I grew tired of the load
Pa I forgive you now

Up on the hill, back on the land
An old grey house it sits
My mama don't live there no more
My father left town years before
Some memories ain't good
But they're all that I have
I went back to look for myself

SEVEN YEARS

I’m Your Man

There's a fire a burning
rain on the parade
There's a wheel a turning
Let it turn, let it drive away

You don't need this wreckage
Just a change of plan
Been waiting in the wings, I’m done with it
Baby I'm your man

Trouble goin' fall away now
Trouble goin' be damned
Trouble goin' fall away now
Baby I'm your man

Hey, don't you wanna be something more?
I can give you that yes I can
Hey, let me tell you that's what loves for
I can give you that
I'm your man

Like a broken record
Or late night TV
It's just the same old same old
Baby come with me


Trouble goin' fall away now
Trouble goin' be damned
Trouble goin' fall away now
Baby I'm your man

Hey, don't you wanna be something more?
I can give you that yes I can
Hey, let me tell you that's what loves for
I can give you that
I'm your man

Runnin' On Time

Some friends of mine and me stayed up all through the night
Rockin' pretty steady 'til the sky went light
I'm gonna make you believe
You're gonna see what I see

Your Mama said I want you home on the double
That rock 'n roll music ain't nothing but trouble
But who you gonna believe"
I know you see what I see

If you want it well I'm runnin' on time
Back to where the music where it sound so right
More than once, more than twice
Let it roll all night

My little girl nothing wrong with what we makin’
Rock 'n roll music got your whole body shakin'
And now I know you believe
Yah, you see what I see

If you want it well I'm runnin' on time
back to where the music well it sound so right
more than once, more than twice
Let it roll all night

If you want it well I'm runnin' on time
back to where the lovin' well it felt so right
More than once, more than twice
Let it roll all night

Bottle It Up, Pass It On 

There is nothing more that I want than to give you my heart but you know it won't take
There is nothing more that I want than to give you myself but you know I wouldn't keep

There's gotta be someone you can walk hand in hand with cos I see you wear it on your sleeve
So bottle it up and pass it on

There is nothing more that I want than to give you my hand but you know it wouldn't hold
There is nothing more that I want than to give you my touch but you know it's gone cold

There's gotta be someone out there you could love, someone who can give you what you need
So bottle it up and pass it on
I say bottle it up and pass it on

There is nothing more of our love, cos it's broken down, it's in pieces
There is no more that our love could take, when it's gone away you can't chase it
Now don't go thinkin’ I didn’t love you babe cos I loved you with everything that I had
I just went away and I didn't come back
Now don't you think I didn't love you girl cos I swear with every inch there is of me
It broke my heart and I broke yours too

Georgia Rose

I been traveling down these streets alone
Like a river flowing to the sea
Like a child scorned though duly loved
Or a gypsy born of no belief
Every town that I lay my head
'Fore I sleep there's a moments peace
When she comes to me singing low and sweet
I shall be released

Take me home sweet Georgia Rose, take me home let me live again
Take me home sweet Georgia Rose, with a voice that were heaven sent
Ain't a song that I wanna sing, ain't a river that I wanna ride
Without you sweet Georgia Rose by my side

The days fell one by one
And the years started doubling up
'Til the kiss from a stranger sought
Were just lips to an empty cup
But when the truth that I knew inside
Weren't the words most wanna hear
It was the sweet sound of Georgia Rose
Singin' loud and clear

Take me home sweet Georgia Rose, take me home let me live again
Take me home sweet Georgia Rose, with a voice that were heaven sent
Ain't a song that I wanna sing, ain't a river that I wanna ride
Without you sweet Georgia Rose by my side

In the fields Ma, I dream it still
He's a waving like when I was young
Sleeves rolled, hands of soil, arms blackened from the sun
Oh when he passed lord it left me cold
Kind of cold ain't no shelter from
'Til her voice took me in a warm embrace and carried me in song

Take me home sweet Georgia Rose, take me home let me live again
Take me home sweet Georgia Rose, with a voice that were heaven sent
Ain't a song that I wanna sing, ain't a river that I wanna ride
Without you sweet Georgia Rose by my side

Flowers In Your Hair 

Waking up alone I cross my heart
Now where’s a love that I can find in the dark?
Now where’s a love? Now where’s a love? Now where’s a love?

When I’m broken down out round the way
Give me a love I can take day by day
Now there’s a love, now there’s a love, now there’s a love

You may find it in the end
Try to hold it from the start
If it catch you unawares
That is love
That is love

If you were to pass this way again
Know that I’d be waiting on a train
Flowers in your hair, you’d look the same
Oh my love, oh my love

You may find it in the end
Try to hold it from the start
If it catch you unawares
That is love

Down River 

It's out of your hands and over your head
You're out of control and open all night
The roads are all wet, look how they shine
Early this morn she entered your mind

Let her go down the river
Let her go down the river

You took a step back but couldn't make out
You could have tuned in but you were in doubt
Your tears have gone cold and flowers long gone
After driving all night you met with the dawn

Let her go down the river
Let her go down the river, let her go
You never wanted for the story
I didn't wanna be the messenger
Just let her go down the river

You had it all, a working plan
Watch it slip through your hands

Let her go down the river
Let her go down the river let her go
You never wanted for the story
I didn't wanna be the messenger
Just let her go down the river

Let her go, let it go

Right By You

I watch the rain on the hood of your car
As we’re sitting at the end of your street
Now there are things I wanna say
Things that I know now
Things I didn’t know then
So I’m asking

Don’t you ever wonder if it could’ve been right?
Don’t you ever wonder if it could’ve been right?
Sometimes I do wonder if I ever did right by you
Don’t you ever wonder if it could’ve been right?

That engine ain’t idling to well
And I know you’ve got work in the morning
But there’s things I gotta say
I don’t wanna make you cry, no never again
But I’m asking

Don’t you ever wonder if it could’ve been right?
Don’t you ever wonder if it could’ve been right?
Sometimes I do wonder if I ever did right by you
Don’t you ever wonder if it could’ve been right?

Glass bottles

There's a lot of this magic goin around
There's a lot of this magic goin around
Can you pick me up some of it?
Can you pick me up some of it?

There's a lot to admire my eyes are wide
There's a lot to admire my eyes are wide
Ain't a rouse your part of it
Ain't a rouse your part of it

But there's a lot to be said for the deluded
When it comes to this old, this old heart
There's a lot to be said for the deluded
Like glass bottles in an old shed
Gather dust like this old this old heart

A lot of these people come and go
A lot of these people come and go
Can you make me a part of it?
Let me know if I’m a part of it

But there's a lot to be said for the deluded
When it comes to this old, this old heart
There's a lot to be said for the deluded
Like glass bottles in an old shed
Gather dust like this old heart

Let Love Be Now 

If love come quick
In a hurricane
Then let my house just blow down
Let my house just blow down

Love come quick
Or it's the end of this world
Let love be now
Let love be now

If love come quick
In our darkest hour
Then I feel we need it
Yes I feel we need it

Love come quick
Or it's the end of this world
Let love be now
Let love be now

We don't science
We don't need to pray
We just need love
We just need love

We don't need tomorrow
We're ready here today
We just need love
We just need love

If love come quick
In a hurricane
Then let my just house just blow on down

Love come quick
Or it's the end of this world
Let love be now
Let love be now

Bitter Pill

I know you
Yah I know you
You came in pieces
I asked no questions
You gave me no reasons

And it's a bitter pill
Got this sorrow to kill
Are we one and the same?
I see you in my lane
But are you in my way?

And it's a tender time
A tender time
A tender time
But I know you, yah I know you

It's the end of this year
You say we ain't got nothing to fear
But I've seen that look before
And before you close the door
You shrug your shoulders and say

It's a tender time
It's a tender time
it's a tender time
But I know you,  yah I know you

Grand Ambition 

I ain't a man of grand ambition
I ain't a man who wants for much
Oh my darling to be near you
To be near you, that's enough

You may think that we're rushing
Most of your friends they do too
You may say you do not know me
But do you love me? Cos that'll do

A love like this don't come around much
Most of the time don't come at all
So pack your things and come and see me
Come and see me
Or I'm coming for you

Out on the streets the folks are rushing
I often think about where to
And some may say that I'm going nowhere
But here beside you, you know it's true

A love like this don't come around much
Most of the time don't come at all
So pack your things and come and see me
Come and see me
Or I'm coming for you

I ain't a man of grand ambition
I ain't a man who wants for much
But here's what I want
Right here's what I want

I ain't a man of grand ambition
But here's what I want

Bye

The smell of coffee on your hair
You say its better than the cigarettes
You say smokings better than TV
That's what you say, will you listen to me now?

We’re better off this way
Oh I don't have it in me no more
We're better off this way
Just I don't have it in me to say
Bye

Ill swing by for some of my things
Maybe you've had a little time to think
It's not like it ever was that bad
But it's been a while since it was anything at all

We’re better off this way
Just i don't have it in me no more
We're better off this way
Just I don't have it in me to say
Bye

It's like a coma that I woke from suddenly sober
It's from that same part that I spoke from
Its not that I don't love ya

We’re better off this way
Just i don't have it in me no more
We're better off this way
Only I don't have it in me to say
Bye

BREAK, RATTLE AND ROLL

Bridge Over Concrete

I'm out walking on the street tonight
Out where it's dark even under the lights
You know the pavement, well it speak to me quiet
Come on son bring yourself to the fight

Like a bridge over some concrete
Like a bridge over some concrete

Out in the AM not a soul in sight
I did everything but feel alright
Warm my hands like an open fire
Out in the dark when you're oh so tired

Like a bridge over some concrete
Like a bridge over some concrete, it's alright

Leave a light on it'll be alright
We'll find our way home in the morning light

I kept a space for you all my life
Of all the endings never one so right

Ride On

You play your stereo loud
For the world to hear
It's the middle of the night
But it's loud and clear

You’re singing 'Whole Lotta Love'
But I don't wanna know your name
Don't wanna look in your window
Don't wanna touch that flame

Ride on, ride on little honey
Ride on, ride on little honey
I got no time to be broken
Got no time to be broken
Ride on

But I think I seen ya round
Maybe on a train
Maybe on the sidewalk
Standin' in the rain
I never cross your path
I never catch catch your eye
Don't wanna look too closely
Don't wanna see you smile

Ride on, ride on little honey
Ride on, ride on little honey
I got no time to be broken
Got no time to be broken
Ride on

It's the middle of the night
I hear you leave your place
Walk the end of the road
Car lights set the pace
I see you open the door
Somethin' bout "it's cold outside”
And you know I wish it me
To take you for a ride

Ride on, ride on little honey
Ride on, ride on little honey
I got no time to be broken
Got no time to be broken
Ride on

Details

Ten Years got my back against the same wall had my back against before
Will you take my hand, let me have this dance?
Don’t know the song but I like the band that are playing
Kind of like old times

Some nights when you wake up cold
Circle the globe just to find out what I know, what I already know
There ain’t a lot for you to understand
There ain’t a plan and there ain’t no grand scheme of things

But we’ll work it out, work it out
So what if you don’t know me and I don’t know you?
We’ll work it out, work it out
So what if you don’t know me and I don’t know you?

Mama, sorry to say I’m never coming back
I’ll be off the road, I’ll be off the beaten track, off the rails
You say; how can I love you with this broken heart?
It ain’t the love but the getting there’s the part that we all want to hold

But we’ll work it out, work it out
So what if you don’t know me and I don’t know you?
We’ll work it out, work it out
So what if you don’t know me and I don’t know you?

They’re just details, they’re just details
So what if you don’t know me and I don’t know you

Ransom

She's a fiery little thing
Say her name it's got a ring
She looks good in anything
But if you ain't bitten it's a sting

Take her out for the night
And whether something ain't right
Still the best night of your life
But are you heavy on a high now?

Don't let it get you down some
There's always on your lonesome
Cos after all's said and done
Ain't nobody holding you
For ransom

Should of walked away
She never asked you to stay
Says she's just biding her time
And waiting on a sign to come

Don't let it get you down some
There's always on your lonesome
Cos after all's said and done
Ain't nobody holding you
For ransom

Come on now if you take her hand
You know there ain't no one to blame
Come on now if you take her hand
You know there ain't now ain't no one to blame

If she ain't your baby she will never be
You ain't about to get no sympathy

Light My Way

Everyone got a devil that they will run from
Anyone got directions of where to run?
All my life I been searching for that something
On my life, I ain't lying to you now

Pack it all in an old suitcase with the lining gone
Pack it all in an old suitcase with the lining gone and there’s no one home my way

Baby light my way
Baby light my way

Lose yourself and your story of which to draw from
Cos the media it's all a dream
All my life I been searching for that something
On my life, I ain't lying to you now

Pack it all in an old suitcase with the lining gone
Pack it all in an old suitcase with the lining gone and there’s no one home my way

Baby light my way
Baby light my way
Baby light my way

All my life I been searching for that something
On my life I ain't lying to you now
On my Life, on my life, on my life

Break, Rattle And Roll

Beauty right beside me I don't dream a lot
I got a habit of breaking 'fore the rattle stops
So I came here to tell you I don't love you anymore
But is that true

I watched you hunt for things that you can take apart
Out here with the truckers, kickers, crooked hearts
But I'll stand here and tear it down just to rebuild in blood
Ain't that true

Though you feel like home
Break, rattle and roll

In that picture frame I fade into you
Will you come back and haunt me if I ask you to?
I always kinda wondered if we'd ever make it through
But it ain't you, no it ain't you

Though you feel like home
Break, rattle and roll

You tore through the night like some desert wind
You read me the ending, now I can't begin
So I came here to tell you, I don't love you anymore
but it ain't true, no it ain’t true

Though you feel like home
Break, rattle and roll

Gamblin’ Man

She give you 69 reasons with a kiss on the cheek
Lost your head but you’re a gamblin’ man
But now the fever’s long gone
And the sun’s coming up
Hitch a ride or have a change of plan

Cos you been down here before
Know the smell of the floor
Know the ins and know the way back
You been mystified by lady luck
Getting tangled in the web she spun

Let it loose tonight
Let it loose tonight
If the money’s tight
It’s alright, alright
If you ain’t got nothing then you ain’t got nothing to lose
Let it loose tonight, alright

No more those dog throws coming up with pairs of eyes
No more broken hearts and bad beat hands
We’re gonna ride this river down to old fifth street
Gonna catch just what the draw demands

Let it loose tonight
Let it loose tonight
If the money’s tight
It’s alright, alright
If you ain’t got nothing then you ain’t got nothing to lose
Let it loose tonight, alright

If you ain’t got nothing then you ain’t got nothing to lose

Old Hotel Room

There's an old hotel room we stayed in '05
I just went past in my car, I remember your smile

There's no lights on, it's kinda come down hill from what I see
But it's been so many years I'm sure you changed as well

I'm down on my knees, keys in my hands
It's four in the morning and I'm just driving round

If it's gonna rain then rain, don't waste my time with grey
It's just like those promises of things that'll never be

I'm down on my knees, keys in my hands
It's four in the morning and I'm just driving round to that old hotel room

Sun Will Set

The weight of the world, the rise and fall
Will stay with you darling in the pouring rain
Wade in the water, arms length from the shore
‘Stead of taking you under, might of taken you there

Light breaks the day, ain't about romance
Just the nature of things, give it one more chance
The sun will set on your broken heart
But it won't rise

The weight on your shoulders will see you take that fall
Will stay with you darlin’ when the storm blows in
Forever's a long time, for always ain't sure
And this old heartbreak, well it's setting in

Light breaks the day, ain't about romance,
Just the nature of things, give it one more chance
The sun will set on your broken heart
But it won't rise 'til you wake up

When nothing comes close, ain't it cold?
I've seen that silver turn to gold, then to rust
But don't let it be all that you have
Don't let it be all that you have

Light breaks the day, ain't about romance,
Just the nature of things, give it one more chance
The sun will set on your broken heart
But it won't rise 'til you wake up

Love Sick Child

Howling through the badlands
Out to where the morning comes, ain’t that right?
Lost and all the money gone
Damn, we had a good time, well alright

Sure to be a strange love
Girl don’t be stranger, oh come on
Fallin’ from a great height
Fixing for the free fall

I wanna give you something
I wanna give you something
Yah, I wanna give you something, ain’t that right? ain’t that right?

Never been to California
Well I hear that’s where you're headed for, ain’t that right?
City where the light holds
Out to where the morning comes every night

I wanna give you something
I wanna give you something
Yah, I wanna give you something
Ain’t that right? ain’t that right?

I wanna give you something
I wanna give you something
Yah, I wanna give you something
You’re my love sick child

House That Burnt Down

I come home to my house
All aflame, all aflame
Everything up in flames
House that burnt down

I come home to my house
All aflame Lord, all aflame
And my heart was the same
House that burnt down

I come home to my house
All aflame, all aflame
And I searched for you
But you were already gone, already gone

We Get Lost

Like a drunk, I still feel
You were blind, in that free
If I was cold, ‘cos I know I can be
If I was cold I’m sorry
But don’t let it be over

It got rough, I believe
You said it’s not meant to be like this
And I stood still for a while
But don’t let it be over

Love don’t come cheap
We get lost, we get lost
I say babe, don’t weep
I’ll bare the cost

We barely recognise our lives
Like washed up clothes on the riverside
Say goodbye, say goodbye

Love don’t come cheap
We get lost, we get lost
I say babe, don’t weep
I’ll bare the cost
I still hear you say
You and me we are lost, we are lost
I say babe, don’t weep
I’ll bare the cost

If I was cold, ‘cos I know I can be
If I was cold I’m sorry

SINGLES

Light my way

Everyone got a devil that they will run from
Anyone got directions of where to run?
All my life I been searching for that something
On my life, I ain't lying to you now

Pack it all in an old suitcase with the lining gone
Pack it all in an old suitcase with the lining gone and there’s no one home my way

Baby light my way
Baby light my way

Lose yourself and your story of which to draw from
Cos the media man it's all a dream
All my life I been searching for that something
On my life, I ain't lying to you now

Pack it all in an old suitcase with the lining gone
Pack it all in an old suitcase with the lining gone and there’s no one home my way

Baby light my way
Baby light my way
Baby light my way

All my life I been searching for that something
On my life I ain't lying to you now
On my Life, on my life, on my life

Too Far To Go

Most her words remain unspoken,
box of letters that she never sent
Heaven knows I've got too far to go
to try and make it in the end

Woke up in my clothes again,
I barely from the door to bed
All the things I used to feel inside
I poisoned them with my use

Every corner bound and broken,
maybe they will name you in their scars
When it comes a knocking at my door
I will not know to answer

Jump the fence and make a run love,
don't look back now, love
All the things that I can't hold inside
I feel it running down my face

Heaven knows I've got too far to go


House That Burnt Down

I come home to my house
All aflame, all aflame
Everything up in flames
House that burnt down

I come home to my house
All aflame Lord, all aflame
And my heart was the same
House that burnt down

I come home to my house
All aflame, all aflame
And I searched for you
But you were already gone, already gone
