The Strings That Tie You Down
Youre so close to tellin me youre leaving
Packin up your things and leavin town
If you can walk away the rest is easy
Once you cut the strings that tie you down
Just look me in the eye and say its over
Just tell me you dont want me around
Once you say goodbye, its gone forever
Once you cut the strings that tie you down
Theres no way I can picture me without you
I still think of you in your wedding gown
If I have to give you up, may God be with you
Once you cut the strings that tie you down

Invisible Strings
(ian hunter)
One, two, three
Well I woke up this morning - theres a girl in my bed.
How did she get there? was it something I said?
I dont understand it but somehow it seems
She visits me in invisible dreams.
Over and over I try to explain
How did that girl get into my veins?
Did somebody send her - was it my velvet wings?
And how does she touch my invisible strings?
Invisible strings - invisible strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Now its all over when the fat lady sings
Ill still be playing my invisible strings
Well maybe she dont have a world of her own
Maybe shes using me just like a phone
And sometimes shes cool and sometimes she stings
And Im all tangled up in invisible strings
Invisible strings - invisible strings
These are a few of my favorite things
When youre wearing black and Im wearing wings,
Well still be playing those invisible strings
Well she never leaves - Im never alone
I aint in the book but shes still calling home
I tried to lose her - watch the tv
But that womans always picking on me
Well, theres strings round my body, strings round my heart
Id like to know where the string-pulling starts
Id give anything to meet the angel who sends
Invisible ink to my invisible pen
Invisible strings - invisible strings
These are a few of my favorite things
When youre wearing black and Im wearing wings,
Well still be playing our invisible strings
Invisible strings - invisible strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Now its all over when the fat lady sings
Well still be playing our invisible strings
Invisible strings - invisible strings
Oh yeah

Youre My Baby
(johnny cash)
Roy orbison (sun 251, 1956)
I love that hair, long an black
Hangin down to the middle of your back
Dont cut it off whatever you do
I need it to run my fingers through
cause youre my baby, ah-ah, youre my sugar
Dont mean maybe, youre my baby
Got me a dollar that I saved
Saved it up for a rainy day
Everybodys callin for bills thats due
But they dont catch me, Ill spend it on you
cause youre my baby, ah-ah, youre my sugar
Dont mean maybe, youre my baby
Got me a guitar, got a six strings
And a picker to make em ring
Every strings gotta know what to do
cause Im gonna use em to serenade you
cause youre my baby, ah-ah, youre my sugar
Dont mean maybe, youre my baby
Well I had me a gal, she said shes mine
But she run around on me all the time
Now shes gone an Im glad were through
cause i-Im plum-flipped over you
cause youre my baby, ah-ah, youre my sugar
Dont mean maybe, youre my baby
Oh, baby-baby, yeah youre my baby
Well I dont mean maybe
You drive me crazy
I love you baby, youre my babydoll

Strings Of Freedom
walk with me..
you and me, not separate
our poem is totality
and our poetry,
is all months,
from january..
to december.
walk with me..
where to decide
the strings of poetry
mixed with both,
the guitar's strings
and the strings..
of all seasons.
walk with me..
it's me, who guides
to all strings,
which said no
and refused to sleep
but refused not..
to dream.
walk with me..
i'm still to wait
for all strings,
walking in time
and resisting,
being jailed..
in the guitar.

Poor Little Rich Girl
You say youre gonna testify
Lie away, lie away
So youre gonna gun me down
Go ahead, fire away
You say youll
Bring the curtain down
Turn around, walk away
Youre gonna close
This theatre down
Go ahead, stop the play
Your money talks
You pull the strings
Someone waits in the wings
You flick the switch, the dancer falls
You deal the cards
The dealer calls in your game
Poor little rich girl, your money talks
You pull the strings
Its a shame, poor little rich girl
Your money burns
We all have wings
You say youre gonna
Leave this town, fly away, fly away
So you gonna
Shoot me down, go ahead
Your money burns
Your money stings
Another song that no one sings
Another script left on the floor
Another face is shown the door
In your game
Poor little rich girl, your money talks
You pull the strings
Its a shame, poor little rich girl
Your money burns
We all have wings
In the game, poor little rich girl
Its easy come, its easy go
Its a shame, poor little rich girl
You lock the door, close the show
Its a game

Leaving
(fiett/fletcher)
Nothing is moving, all the world is still
No birds are singing and they never will
Cause youre leaving
No doors are open, the sun doesnt smile
Theres no sign of laughter, it rains all the while
And Im grieving
Cause youre leavin, leavin
Food doesnt tempt me
No coffee or cakes, everythings empty
My hearts full of aches, nothing can please me
Why are you leaving?
Oh, no silver linings, no fluffy white clouds
I keep on walking, Im lost in a crowd
Cause youre leaving
Nothing gives me pleasure, nothing gives me pain
Im all over numb and I cant explain
Now youre leaving
Cause youre leavin, leavin
So you put me down, you go your way around
Im glad youre doing fine, Ill make out in time
Dont you worry, now youre leaving

Is There Something I Should Know?
I made a run, I run out yesterday
Tried to find my mountain hideaway
Maybe next year, maybe no go
I know youre watching me every minute of the day, yeah
Ive seen the signs and the looks and pictures
That give your game away, yeah
Theres a dream that strings the road
With broken glass for us to hold
And I cut so far before I had to say
Please, please tell me now
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say?
That would make you come my way
Do you feel the same cos you dont let it show
People stare and cross the road from me
And jungle drums they all clear the way for me
Can you read my mind, can you see in the snow
And fiery demons all dance when you walk through that door
Dont say youre easy on me, youre about as easy as a nuclear war
Please, please tell me now
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say?
That would make you come my way
Do you feel the same cos you dont let it show
Please, please tell me now
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say?
That would make you come my way
Please, please tell me now
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say?
That would make you come my way
Please, please tell me now
Can you see what makes me blow?
Can you see how much I die?
Every time it passes by
Please, please tell me now
What it takes to make you show
Is there something I should know?
Is there something I should say?

Strumming The Strings Of My Heart
I watch you play,
Making a beautiful tune
The strings of the guitar shaking
As you sit in the light of the moon
Your plucking the strings
With great ease
Making a flowing melody
A pretty song, just for me
I continue to watch
You playing your guitar
Making me love you
While your strumming the strings of my heart
These strings will never be touched
By anyone but you
You go where no one else can
Leaving a mark, like a tattoo,
Saying I LOVE YOU

Kiss That Girl
Thanks to Julie James ([email protected])for submitting the lyrics.
I woke up this mornin' with my makeup on
I've been fakin' it lately, but those days are gone
You look at me and wonder why
I got to cut these strings and learn to fly
But the girl is only in your mind
She's leavin' everything behind
She's not the girl that's gonna make it right
So you can kiss that girl goodbye
We're so glad you made it in this dead end town
Everybody's waiting for you to come down
You're gonna wake up from your dream
You're gonna find someone who looks like me
But the girl is only in your mind
She's leavin' everything behind
She's not the girl that's gonna make it right
So you can kiss that girl goodbye
You could look forever for someone like me
She's just a memory
So you can kiss the girl goodbye
Kiss that girl goodbye
So you can kiss the girl goodbye
So you can kiss that girl goodbye

Que Sera
Theres a feathered cloud in an open sky
And the pale-tailed moon goes sailing by
This old engine housings streaked with rain
And were pushing down on them chains again
Friend were like the wind that blows
Like the sea we come and go
And Im not trying to tell you
How I think that it should be
I know deep down inside
We are yearning to be free
And youre only gonna think of no 1
So what am I to say
No matter what you do
Were always hurting anyway
Forever our hearts will be
Always running for what we see
By the strings of this old guitar
I swear, que sera
And youre rolling down old runway ten
And the present becomes the past and then
Rotating through the driving rain
And youre way above those clouds again
And Im not trying to tell you
How I think that it should be
I know deep down inside
We are yearning to be free
And youre only gonna think of no 1
So what am I to say
No matter what you do
Were always hurting anyway
Forever our hearts will be
Always running for what we see
By the strings of this old guitar
I swear, que sera

Lovin You Is Killin Me
Words and music by jeff cook
You go out on the town, feelin alright.
Leavin me here alone, youre stayin all night.
Youre good to me; do something sweet.
Tonight, youre back out on the street.
Lovin you the way I do is killin me.
I dont blame you for havin fun, as long as Im your only one.
So go on out, have a time, have a good time.
Dont forget if he asks, youre still mine.
Youre tellin me the same old lies, and I dont need your alibis.
Lovin you, the way I do, is killin me.
Lovin you, the way I do, is killin me

Pulling My Strings
Again I feel it. Some one holding me back, Someone pulling my string. The more I move the more I feel your presence. An Outsider, Anonymous Onlooker. So Tell Me Did You Get Want. Do I Satisfy In Your Dark Deceitful Eyes. Hide Behind The Sunrise, That Fine But I Still Know Your There Pulling My Strings Like You Can Control Me. Avoid Me, Deny Me, I Don't Really Care Cause I Know You Are Still. Watching And Waiting. For What I Don't Really Know. If Your Waiting For An Invitation Here It Is Please Speak And I Will Listen. Again I feel it. Chills Right Up Spine. Someone Is Holding Me Back, Someone Is Pulling My Strings. She Wont Go Away Why I Just Don't Know But Yet She Wont Let Her Presence Truly Known. Like A Ghost Theirs A Glimpse Then Its Gone. Fading In To Just Fade Out. I'm Not Crazy, She There. Again I Feel It. Like What See, Come In The Open Get Better Look. A picture last forever. A glance cant even be etched into memory. But Still Your Pulling my strings oh Pulling My Strings

Waiting In The Wings
(andy hill/pete sinfield)
I need you like freedom
I feel you like rain
I see you like silver rails across an endless plain
And I know there are moments
You feel as I do
Thats why Im waiting for you
This time around I wont push for an answer
Both of us need to be sure
To be strong
When the moment comes
Ill be your dancer
Ill be your singer
And your song
When your heart is weary
When you want a love with no strings
I will be here waiting
Waiting in the wings
Waiting in the wings
A natural dreamer
A maverick soul
How close can I be to you
And still not lose control?
And as close as the ocean
As near as the sky
As near as the tears I dont cry
Maybe a fool has been drowned in a vision
Hung up to dry in the teeth of the wind
Believing in the truth of your decisions
Thats all there is until the end
When your heart is weary
When you want a love with no strings
I will be here waiting. Ill be waiting
Waiting in the wings
Ill be waiting
Ill be waiting
When your heart is weary
When you want a love with no strings
I will be here waiting
Waiting in the wings
When your heart is weary
When you want a love with no strings
I will be here waiting
Waiting in the wings
When your heart is weary
When you want a love with no strings
I will be here waiting
Waiting in the wings

String Between Cups
It was those strings between those cups
Carrying conversations no satellite could pick up
It was that easy laid-back living'
Undisturbed by the bad news on the television
It was those simple words of love, passed through the strings between us
Undisturbed by society's lust for a pleasure that seems to be all touch
Yes, it's those undisturbed words
We had both previously heard
Before… But once more…
We knew we had never really felt
But what we had was enough, there was no need to bluff
We both played well with the cards we were dealt
Those strings between those cups
Reverberated from the talks between us
The ones that I like to recall most
And we never had fancy things or long strings
So we always stayed close
For undisturbed conversation, About the steps we had taken
And it was those undisturbed words
We had both previously heard
But we never really felt were real
Because touch was a word associated with feel
Until true passion had made us whole
Now feel is a word associated with soul
Some things aren't always as they seem to be
And we never had any magazines to see
How we should make love or how we should dress
That's advice on this life that never left us impressed
And those strings between those cups carried conversation best
Carrying in them all the words we had once heard before
But between us those words seemed to mean so much more

Easy As It Seems
Ive been your lover for too many years, Im through with wastin my time
You been out runnin without any fear, tell me why, I wanna know the reason why
(its easy as it seems) cause its easy as it seems
I keep on hearin your road never bends, you aint committin no crime
I hear youre sleepin with one of my friends, tell me why
I wanna know the reason why
(its easy as it seems) cause its easy as it seems
When youre walkin out on your dreams, you just walk away
I played your boyfriend for too many years, you know its drivin me wild
Ive seen you cryin without any tears, like a child
You wonder all the reasons why
(its easy as it seems) and its easy as it seems
When youre walkin out on your dreams, you just walk away
If it takes forever, I dont mind, if it takes forever, Ive got time
All that I wanna know, can you lay it on the line
cause if it takes forever, you know Im gonna find out
(its easy as it seems) yeah its easy as it seems
When youre walkin out on your dreams, you just walk away, walk away
(its easy as it seems) oh its easy (easy), easy as it seems
Yeah its easy (easy), oh its easy as it seems
Oh its easy (easy), oh its easy as it seems

Be There
You dont have to break your heart
In two my love
You dont have to play a part
Its you I love
You dont have to hide from yourself
You dont have to be someone else again
You dont have to rescue me
You dont have to watch me drown
You dont have to give to me
All I want is you
Be there, my love
Be there, tonight
Be there, my love
Be there, tonight
You dont have to dress yourself up
Or stay the same
You dont have to smile
If I say smile
You dont have to be the best
You dont have to give me rest
All I want is all you have
Nothing else
Nothing
Be there, my love
Just be there, my love
If you want the whole of me
Thats all youll get
Ill sing this song
Id give my health
Give it all
You dont have to...
Ah, she comes on by
She says, I need you, my love
Ah, she says, all I want is you
You dont have to play your little game
If I fall apart
You dont have to work those strings
Or do those things
Youre enough in my heart
You dont have to hide from yourself
You dont have to be someone else
All I want is all you have
All I want is you
Be there, my love
Be there, tonight
Be there, my love
Be there, tonight

Puppet
Puppet
By: Adam M. Snow
I am a puppet to those who use me;
for they know not what my curse may be.
All I want is for my strings to be cut;
but instead my eyes are sealed shut.
I'm hanging by strings for their entertainment;
for I am evermore bound in containment.
Who am I to be called their puppet;
though my essence cannot forget.
Day by day these strings grow tight;
day by day I try not to fight.
Although I'm stuck and cannot move;
now there's nothing else for me to prove.
I am a puppet;
yet I can't deny it.
Although I have become one with these strings;
all I wish is to spread my wings.

Goodbye
Tomorrow used to be a day away
Now love is gone and youre into someone far away.
I never thought the day would come
When I would see his hand, not mine,
Holding onto yours because I could not find the time.
Now I cant deny
Nothing lasts forever
I dont want to leave
And I see the tear drops in your eyes
I dont want to live to see the day we say goodbye
Now there comes another part of life that I call alone
Sitting at a bar with chris
And I cant leave cause my house aint no home, no.
I just wanna touch you girl
I wanna feel you close to me
Without your love I would give up now
And walk away so easily.
So maybe while youre young
Well figure out together
That even with the pain, theres a remedy
And well be all right
I dont want to live to see the day we say goodbye.
When I first met you I couldnt love anyone
But you stole my dreams and you made me see
That I can walk under the sun
And I can still be me
And now I cant deny nothing lasts forever.
But I dont want to leave and see the teardrops in your eyes
So baby while were young lets figure out together
That even with the pain theres a remedy
And well be all right.
I dont want to live to see the day we say goodbye,
We say goodbye, oh goodbye, goodbye.

Life Like Weeds
In this life like weeds youre just a rock to me
Youre just a rock to me, youre just a rock to me

And in the places you go, youll see the place where youre from
I could have told you all that I love you
But in the faces you meet, youll see the place where youll die
I could have told you all that I love you
And on the day that you die youll see the people you met
I could have told you all that I love you
And in the faces you see, youll see just who youve been
I wish I could have told you I love you

But where do you belong?
In this life like weeds youre the good I breed

In this life like weeds youre a rock to me
I know where youre from
But where do you belong?
In this life like weeds eyes need us to see
Hearts need us to bleed
In this life like weeds youre the good I breed
All this talking all the time of the year
Fills up until theres nothing left to breathe
And you think you feel most everything
And you know that our hearts are just made out of strings
To be pulled
Strings to be pulled
So you think youve figured out everything
But we know that our hearts are just made out of strings
To be pulled
Strings to be pulled
All this talking all the time, and the air
Fills up until theres nothing left to breathe
Up until theres nothing left to speak
Up into the better parts of space

I Wish That I Could Tell You
(anthony jerome martin, van stephenson, reese wilson)
How do you tell someone youre letting go
I wish that I could tell you
But youre asking me things that I dont know
I wish that I could tell you
The words that I would say
Sound as empty as the way you feel inside
While the silence in between
Tells me everything that you deny
I dont know how to help you
I wish that I could tell you
How to tell me goodbye
I dont know how you leave it all behind
I wish that I could tell you
Is it true a heart heals itself with time
I wish that I could tell you
How do you choose
Do you hurt em with the truth or with a lie
Where do you go to find the courage
You know I could never find
I dont know how to help you
I wish that I could tell you
How to tell me goodbye
Where do you turn, where do you go
When youve finally reached the end of the road
How do you say it I just dont know
When it comes to leaving youre on your own
How do you tell someone youre letting go
I wish that I could tell you
I wish that I could tell you
