Touched by thoughts As cold as ice Like some bathroom floor No love can be worth this price Still I ask for more Endless days and restless nights And forgotten scenes Hopelessly I tried to find Escape from this deam Baby I miss you When are you coming home No matter where you are I hate being alone Love is sweet And bitter too The taste can leave cold You know I hate it But I cannot refuse to capture control How it seems There's no way out I guess I never knew Emptiness has left no doubt Now I want you Baby I miss you When are you coming home No matter where you are I hate being alone Baby I miss you When are you coming home No matter where you are I hate being alone Baby I miss you When are you coming home You've been gone for so long Baby I miss you When are you coming home Tell me you're coming back

And I swear to you I never wrote that song. I been livin' in my own shell so long: The only place I ever feel at home. And oh, that music, I hate those lyrics. It stayed inside me so long. And I swear to you I never wrote that song. But pardon me, I'm not lookin' for sympathy, Not sympathy. I'm just thinking out loud. The melody, It goes nowhere pointlessly. Silence please.

Lullaby
/a/alice+cooper/lullaby_20237420.html
I was the boy who said all of my prayers Laid my clean face on the pillow Tucked in real tight, so safe and secure Through the night I heard a noise, it was probably nothing It pulled me right out of a dream If I knew it was you I'd have jumped out of bed with a scream I am the one who growls in your closet I am the one who lives under your bed [Chorus] Get down, back where you started Get down, back into hell Your black soul, you know you're black hearted I smell your sulfurous smell All of my things that I play with in daylight You turn into monsters at night My toys were my friends Until you taught them all how to bite You showed me things little boys shouldn't see You scared me with visions of fire You danced on my bed With the flames on your head dancing higher I am the one who growls in your closet I am the one who lives under your bed [Chorus] I tell you right now I don't want your reptile embrace I don't want to follow you down to your place I don't want to be a child of disgrace You can take your whiskey soaked, foaming at the mouth, toilet talking, pea soup Spewing, sweating blood demon breath out of my face [Chorus] I was the boy who said all of my prayers Laid my clean face on the pillow Tucked in real tight, so safe and secure Through the night

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 What days have come to keep us far apart A broken promise or a broken heart Now all the bonnie birds have wheeled away I need you at the dimming of the day Come the night you're only what I want Come the night you could be my confidant Come the night you're only what I want Come the night you could be my confidant I see you on the street in company Why don't you come and ease your mind with me I'm living for the night we steal away I need you at the dimming of the day I need you at the dimming of the day

Faraway Land
/a/alison+krauss/faraway+land_20521755.html
When years seem like days to me No time on my hands I run away to a place in me To a faraway land When home seems so far from me Heaven's lights look dim It's just as far as my deepest heart Where my heart's Father lives His quiet voice speaking in silence everyday If I will only listen to the words He has to say I'll walk in His Spirit, see Him in my face I will live, 'cause He will live in my place When life seems so hard to bear When shadows look real The circumstance is your Father's care Go by faith not what you feel If you have been running too Stop now in your tracks Turn again to the one in you Put your burden on His back His quiet voice speaking in silence everyday If I will only listen to the words He has to say I'll walk in His Spirit, see Him in your face I will live, 'cause He will live in my place When years seem like days to me No time on my hands I run away to a place in me To a faraway land

Foolish Heart
/a/alison+krauss/foolish+heart_20194950.html
I think I'll take my foolish heart, my friend, and head right for the door. There'll be a better world waitin' if I do. 'Cause I know I've been down this road a time or two before, The only time I let my heart turn to you. Now, I won't be blue with dreams that won't come true. I'll take my heart, and head right for the door. Still somethin' deep inside keeps tellin' me to make the sacrifice, And askin' me to walk the extra mile. I've walked it now to many times with freedom for the price. Too many times to fight back tears behind my smiles. Now, I won't be blue with dreams that won't come true. I'll take my heart, and head right for the door. I know I must seem quite unkind to wander off tonight And leave the moon up above to hold your gaze. It's only that my foolish heart is bound with foolish pride. Maybe some day I'll see the sunshine upon your face. Now I won't be blue with dreams that won't come true. I'll take my heart, and head right for the door. I'll take my heart, and head right for the door

Fortune Teller

Went to the fortune teller To have my fortune read I didn't what to tell her I had a dizzy feeling in my head Said she'd take a look at my palm Said "Son do you feel kind of warm?" And she looked into her crystal ball Said "You're in love." Said it could not be so, Not with all the girls I know. Said when the next one arrives Looking into her eyes. I left there in a hurry Much to my big surprise The next thing I discovered The fortune teller told me lies So I ran back to that woman Mad as I could be Told her I didn't see nobody How she made a fool out of me At last something shook me As if it came down from above And now the fortune teller And I fell in love

Gravity

I left home when I was seventeen I just grew tired of falling down And I'm sure I was told The allure of the road Would be all I found And all the answers that I started with Turned out questions in the end So years roll on by And just like the sky The road never ends And the people who love me still ask me When are you coming back to town And I answer quite frankly When they stop building roads And all God needs is gravity to hold me down

It was so right It was so wrong Almost at the same time The pain and ache A heart can take No one really knows But when the memories cling and take you there Till you no longer care You can let go now It's not right for me To cling to you Somehow I just needed time From what was to be It's not like me To hold somebody down But I was tossed high by love Almost never came down Only to land Where no love is found And I'm no longer bound I can let go now

If I give my heart to you tonight Will you still be by my side? Or will you be gone with the morning sun Like a restless bird in flight? Take me in your arms Let the love you seek Wash away your sorrow, Let the morning be ours to keep. And if I should tell you of the love that I feel Will you still be there for me Or will I awake to a faded love searching for freedoms gain Take me in your arms Let the love you seek Wash away your sorrow, Let the morning be ours to keep. Take me in your arms Let the love you seek Wash away your sorrow, Let the morning be ours to keep. If I give my heart to you tonight Will you still be by my side? Or will you be gone with the morning sun Like a bird who yearns to fly?

Swing and turn jubilee Live and learn jubilee The time had come to travel on, I made my way alone. My soul will mend at journey's end, This road will take me home. Swing and turn jubilee Live and learn jubilee

Leaves were falling, just like embers, In colors red and gold, they set us on fire Burning just like moonbeams in our eyes.

Now I'm guilty of something I hope you never do Because there is nothing Any sadder than losing yourself in love.

How do I lie awake now When I know I've got to be moving on How do I lie awake now When nothing's right and nothing's wrong How do I lie awake now When nothing's right and nothing's wrong How do I lie awake now When I know I've got to be moving on How do I lie awake now When nothing's right and nothing's wrong

There's a chill on this evening, nights right for greaving, Darkness surrounds him as he wanders alone He walked past the dim lights, the pathways and street lights They remind him, of nights long ago, When his love was strong and his muscles hard, His whiskey throat was barley marred, Seeking misfortune in the lies that he told, Then a brokin heart bought him to his knees, In the hour of his greatest need, Lost and forsaken by the love, he could not hold [Chorus:] On the Border line of love again, Its bound to make you pay On the Border line, we'll make our stand, Then watch it fall away And he stands in quiet solitude, The nights reflects upon his mood, Seeking the vision that had once been so clear, When he felt the touch of his women's love His pounding heart was warm and young, Now locked inside him with his anger and fear As he moves on slowly, past the trees, Down the path way home through fallen leaves He can't believe, how he'd sunken so low, So he learned to live with his injured pride His purple heart hidden, deep inside, The only reward, for a love he could not hold [Chorus 2x]

Paper Airplane
/a/alison+krauss/paper+airplane_20907320.html
I've put it all behind me Nothin' left to do or doubt Some may say But every silver linin' Always seems to have a cloud That comes my way Anticipated pleasure Or unexpected pain No choice I feel Love is hard to measure Hidden in the rain That's why you'll find me Here all alone and still wonderin' why Waitin' inside for the cold to get colder And here where it's clear that I've wasted my time Hopin' to fly 'cause it's almost over now People come together People go their own way Love conquers few And I'll do whatever I'll say what I need to say Just not for you How many days should I smile with a frown 'Cause you're not around with the sun on your shoulders? And how many nights must I wake up alone And know in my soul that it's almost over now? Love is like a paper airplane Flyin' in the folded dent Ridin' high, dippin' low But innocence is fair game I'm hopin' I can hold it in Our love will die, I know

That Kind Of Love
/a/alison+krauss/that+kind+of+love_20316764.html
Who would sell their soul for love Or waste one tear on compromise? Should be easy enough To know a heartache in disguise But the heart rules the mind And the going gets rough Pride takes the fall When you find that kind of love I can't help feeling like a fool Since I lost that place inside Where my heart knew its way And my soul was ever wise Once innocence was lost There was not faith enough Still my heart held on When it found that kind of love Though beauty is rare enough Still we trust Somehow we'll find it there With no guarantee It seems to me At least it should be fair But if it's only tears and pain Isn't it still worth the cost Like some sweet saving grace Or a river we must cross If we don't understand What this life is made of We learn the truth When we find that kind of love Cause when innocence is lost There is not faith enough We learn the truth When we find that kind of love

When God dips his pen of love in my heart And he writes my soul a message he wants me to know His spirit all divine fills a sinful soul of mine When God dips his love in my heart Well I said I wouldn't tell it to a livin' soul How he brought salvation and he made me whole But I found I couldn't hide such a love as Jesus did impart Well he made me laugh and he made me cry, set my sinful soul on fire When God dips his love in my heart Well sometimes though the way is dreary, dark and cold And some unburdened sorrow keeps me from the goal I go to God in prayer, I can always find him there To whisper sweet peace to my soul Well I said I wouldn't tell it to a livin' soul How he brought salvation and he made me whole But I found I couldn't hide such a love as Jesus did impart Well he made me laugh and he made me cry, set my sinful soul on fire When God dips his love in my heart He walked up every step of Calvary's rugged way And gave his life completely to bring a better day My life was steeped in sin but in love he took me in His blood washed away every stain I said I wouldn't tell it to a livin' soul How he brought salvation and he made me whole But I found I couldn't hide such a love as Jesus did impart He made me laugh and he made me cry, set my sinful soul on fire When God dips his love in my heart

By gregg allman (c) 1980, 1981, 1994 arista records, inc. Transcribed by sam carle Time and time again I've felt these wall's of plaster, Closing in, And more than once I've felt that lonely lonely feeling, Wondering why and where I've been, Just about the time, I think I can't hold on, You're always there to keep me hanging on and I say, I never knew how much a man needed a woman (no I never) I never knew how much a boy needed a girl (needed a girl) I never knew how much I needed you Day after day I join the rat race, Tryin' to make the most of it, I keep on falling down down the ladder, Still trying to stay on top of it, Just when I was sure, Nothing could get no better, Oh I realize, I still love you more than ever, [Chorus:] Today I watch the sun set on the freeway, Strangled on the poison air, But miles beyond, on the other end, I know, you'll always be waiting there, Girl you treat me, With your kindest hand, And in my heart, in my mind, And I'm so glad [Chorus:]

Sail Away
/a/allman+brothers+band/sail+away_20006629.html
Sunset colors, all across the bay. Finds me here alone at the end of one more day. Skipping stones across the water. Wonder why I ever thought you'd stay. Palm trees sway in the evening breeze. Sing a lullabye of sweet love to me. Sailboat, sail away into the amber sky. And I wonder why I ever thought you'd stay. Sail on, sail away. May all your dreams come true one day. Sail on, sail away. I wonder why I ever thought you'd stay. Sail on, sail away. May all your dreams come true one day. Sail on, sail away. I wonder why I ever thought you'd stay. I wonder why I ever thought you'd stay. Sail on, sail away. Sail on, sail away. Sail on, sail away. Sail on, sail away.

Sailin' 'cross The Devil's Sea
/a/allman+brothers+band/sailin+cross+the+devils+sea_20006483.html
Lately I don't know where I went wrong, But the spell of that pretty young girl is far too strong, Between her fine perfume and angel face, My whole world became another place. The dark side of her intelligence was so strong, Soon there'll be no difference in right or wrong. Next thing I know I had a key that unlocked her door. I could not wait to hear the siren song, The beginning of the end of my happy home. Sailin', sailing 'cross the devil's sea, oooh, hooo, too blind in love, too blind to see. Heard them say the payback's double-fold, Just can't seem to remember who I bought and sold. I'll probably still be here when you come around next year, Trying to climb from this deep dark hole. I'll be damned if I just don't feel I'm growin' old. Sailing, sailing 'cross the devil's sea, ohhh, hooo, Too blind in love, too blind to see. Cause she was eviler than evil, slippery like a fox, set me up with pain and woe and, I swear it won't seem to stop. If I could just remove her hook from deep from within my soul, Swear I'll leave and not come back, just let me out that door. Sailin', sailing 'cross the devil's sea, ohhh, hooo, Too blind in love, too blind to see.

Shine It On
/a/allman+brothers+band/shine+it+on_20006703.html
I've had my troubles, I know you've had your troubles too. Sometimes when you need a little sunshine, It keeps rainin' down on you. But I'm not gonna let it get me down, Keep on pullin', things are gonna come around. Shine it on, Shine it on. Little blue-eyed woman, She made me feel so fine. She got what she wanted, Then she moved on down the line. Yes I know about the pain, Tears are gonna fall, Just like rain. [Chorus] Shine it on, Look around you see what's goin' on. Shine it on, Before you end up out there on your own. Don't let some rainy day, steal your heart away, You got to go on, It's just the dark before the dawn, Shine it on. Shine it on, Look around you see what's goin' on. Shine it on, Before you end up out there on your own. Don't let some rainy day, steal your heart away, Shine it on, Look around you see what's goin' on. Shine it on, Before you end up out there on your own. Shine it on, oh baby. Shine it on, shine it on, shine it on, Shine it on.

You've heard every line before My life's a revolving door With no way out and no way in You know just what's on my mind Could you take a chance one more time Maybe we could start all over again Straight from the heart Straight from the heart Straight from the heart Straight from the heart Your eyes can't tell a lie I can see what you're feeling inside Don't give up before we start ?Cause this time love is Straight from the heart Straight from the heart I know what they're telling you I wish I could say that it's not true Love is so hard to find But I never took the time I never let you in Please let me try again Straight from the heart I thought I knew about love But I didn't know at all Didn't take the time to see Until I started to fall Straight from the heart Straight from the heart

Two Rights
/a/allman+brothers+band/two+rights_20006547.html
You're coming back into my life After all this time apart After my heart has been broken in two Now you want to turn around and go back through All the hurt, all the pain I'm not sure it could ever be the same 'Cause two rights can't make up for one wrong I've spend so many nights alone One kiss can't make it disappear Even though you're here tonight Baby two rights can't make up for hurting someone I guess you think it's all a game Someone gets hurt, someone gets blamed You don't seem to realize There's someone else In my eyes 'Cause two rights can't make up for one wrong I've spend so many nights alone One kiss can't make it disappear Even though you're here tonight Baby two rights can't make up for hurting someone You're the one who wanted to play the field Now you can't find a love that's real It's your game, but it's no fun When you end up the lonely one 'Cause two rights can't make up for one wrong I've spend so many nights alone One kiss can't make it disappear Even though you're here tonight Baby two rights can't make up for hurting someone

Woman Across The River
/a/allman+brothers+band/woman+across+the+river_20765201.html
Across the river a good woman cried All because a foolish man lied She gave up everything Everything that money could buy But the man told so many lies There's another man over there That woman across the river Sweet woman across the river, she was mine Word got around that he had jilted her Men came running from near and far Should've never been so foolish Guess I'll never But the man that's got her now He's a lucky so and so That woman across the river Sweet woman across the river, she was mine I remember the other day, about a week ago She said, "I don't even want to talk to you 'Cause I don't love you anymore" That woman across the river Sweet woman across the river, she was mine Across the river a good woman cried All because a foolish man lied She gave up everything, tried to keep him satisfied But the man told so many lies There's another man over there That woman across the river That woman across the river That woman across the river Sweet woman across the river, she was mine
