A Lonesome Day

My mama said that you best make up your mind for there'll be a lonesome day.
All that I hear from my friends is that it ends someday.
But now I am spinning and it is lovely... this lonesome day.
My mama said that you best make up your mind for there'll be a lovely day.
All that I hear from my friends is that it ends someday.
But now I am spinning and it is lonely... this lovely day.
Remind me again, who are these lawless thugs?

So Long

In my head... disorder.
On my face... cold water.
Is anybody ever over?
It's funny how we make up borders, yet beat dat drum... we beat dat drum for so long.
We can't be off time even when we try.
Why's it take so long, so long, so long?
Just tell me if you're gone, you're gone, you're gone... so I can close the door.
In your eyes... a smile.
On your mind... you wonder.
Is anybody ever over?
It's funny how we make up borders, yet beat dat drum... we beat dat drum for so long.
We can't be off time even when we try.
All right... all right... all right.
Why's it take so long, so long, so long?
Just tell me if you're gone, you're gone, you're gone... so I can close the door.

Deux Lvrz

I may not know tomorrow, love...
But I wanna make it be with you.
If we knew real sorrow, love...
We would dance and be OK.
We would laugh and be OK.
Two lovers were we, darlin.
What is love if not with you?
If I could separate my pride, it'd be a lovely little life we'd have.
On and on and on we go...
And we laugh and be ok.
I'm sorry for my sorrow, it is with me as my shadow.
If I could separate my pride, it'd be a lovely little life we'd have.
I'm sorry for my sorry, she follows me as my shadow.
If I could separate my pride, it'd be a lovely little life we'd have.
It'd be a lovely little life we'd have...

Spindin' All Ur Thyme
03:33
|
|||
|
Try not to ask questions about that which I don't want answers for because the weight of the air as it settles on your face says more than words alone.
Our beauty is a silly thing left sitting alone frantically while the liquid in my bones, at times, keeps me from standing up at night.
I don't wanna die, but if I'm gonna die, I wanna die inside your arms.
I don't wanna die, but if I'm gonna die, I wanna die from all your charms.
Kill me dead inside your arms. Kill me dead from all your charms.
Spendin' all your time with someone who makes you cry is not advisable.
Spendin' all your time with someone who makes you laugh is what I'm gonna do.

Lying in Bedrooms

When I'm in your bedroom, I dream of California.
Lord, I wanna close my eyes.
I wanna lie in your bedroom tonight.
When I'm in your bedroom, fallin's all I can do.
Lord, I wanna close my eyes.
I wanna lie in your bedroom tonight.
Why you gotta leave this room? Now fallin's all I can do.
Lord, I wanna close my eyes and take my time for the rest of my life.
Lord, I wanna close my eyes.
I wanna lie in your bedroom tonight.
... because your daddy, he looks lovely tonight.
... and your grandma, she looks dandy all right.
... I wanna lie here in your bedroom tonight.
... because we are dancin, dancin, dancin late at night.
I wanna lie in your bedroom tonight.

Catch The Wind
03:42
|
|||
|
In the chilly hours and minutes of uncertainty, I want to be in the warm hold of your loving mind.
To feel you all around me and to take your hand along the sand...
Oh, but I may as well try and catch the wind.
When sundown pales the sky, I want to hide a while behind your smile and everywhere I look, your eyes I'd find.
For me to love you now would be the sweetest thing... 'twould make me sing.
Oh, but I may as well try and catch the wind.
Dee dee dee...
When rain has hung the leaves with tears, I want you near to kill my fears...
To help me to leave all my blues behind.
For standing in your heart is where I want to be and I long to be.
Oh, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

Abby
04:47
|

|
People in the town were shocked to hear about it on the news.
It held our hearts and poisoned minds, but now the time has left our eyes.
As is what is oftentimes, the spineless men have left us wanting, waiting, feeling sorry for ourselves.
Sorry sorry...
But Abby don't care what you look like, long as you feel right... then you're all right.
There are papers and remote controls and business cards.
What's worst of all, we look into the eyes of those who've hurt and cried and lost the most and tell them, "things will be OK, you must be strong." We wouldn't want for any of us ordinary regulars to feel anything at all.
Sorry sorry...
But Abby don't care what you look like, long as you feel right... then you're all right.
'Cause Abby don't care what you look like, long as you feel right... then you're all right.
I see people laughing.
I have realized what is real life.
This is real life.
Abby don't care what you look like, long as you feel right... then you're all right.
'Cause Abby don't care what you look like, long as you feel right... then you're all right.

Lonely Hearts Betray
03:30
|

|
My lonely heart betrays the honest stars in your eyes.
So I best walk by before any of me touches your gaze.
But I want those eyes... that smile, your love... in the end.
And we break out fast and we fasten our faces again.
And we're here
And we love...
I want it.
Is wanting insane?
Is it over?
And we break out fast and we fasten our faces again.
And we're here
And we love...
I want it.
Is wanting insane?
I don't want to have to go away... no, I don't wanna.
Is it over?

Is it love?
02:36
|

|
Is it love? Is it love? Is it love?
Why don't I know?
Sorry to go.
This is reckless, but don't you waste my time.
Sally Devoe, I see you over and over.
Is it love? Is it love? Is it love?
Why don't I know?
They may love you these days, but I will love you always.
They may love you these days, but I will love you...
Is it love? Is it love? Is it love?
Why don't I know?
They may love you these days, but I will love you always.
It'd be kind funny if it didn't work out now... be kinda funny if it did, as well.
'Cause I been making plans for imaginary man while chivalrously breaking your heart.
But I know there's nothing like love to take your mind off love, so I will love you always.
I will love you always.
I will love you...

We are made of stars; put down your arms.
We are made of stars; put down your arms.
Control the sun. Control the son.
Prolly gonna wanna settle, son, get your life on track before you run away.
I'm my father's daughter; invest it all.
I'm my father's daughter; invest it all.
Prolly gonna wanna settle, son, get your life on track...
I'm my father's daughter...
We are made of stars; put down your arms.
We are made of stars; put down your arms.
