Goodnight Elisabeth
I was wasted in the afternoon
Waiting on a train
I woke up in pieces and Elisabeth had disappeared again
I wish you were inside of me
I hope that you're ok
I hope you're resting quietly
I just wanted to say
Goodnight Elisabeth
Goodnight Elisabeth
We couldn't all be cowboys
So some of us are clowns
Some of us are dancers on the midway
We roam from town to town
I hope that everybody can find a little flame
Me

And We Bid You Goodnight
Lay down my dear brother, lay down and take your rest,
Wont you lay your head upon your saviors chest,
I love you all, but jesus loves you the best
And we bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight.
I would never ride, well, I would never ride (goodnight, goodnight)
But his rod and his staff, they comfort me (goodnight, goodnight)
Tell a for the ark, that wonderful boat (goodnight, goodnight)
Tell b for the beast at the ending of the wood (goodnight, goodnight)
You know it ate all the children when they wouldnt be good,
Walking in jerusalem just like john (goodnight, goodnight)
I go walking in the valley of the shadow of death,
And we bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight.

Goodnight
You thought shyness was to blame
And you'd get to live your life again
When you get to wish everyone goodnight
As the crowd booed out your name
At least they spelled it right, so you don't complain
Why everyone is wishing you goodnight
And maybe I'm wrong
And maybe you're right
What if I was the only one who can say goodnight
It's your heroes who are to blame
Constantly saying things that they don't explain
Well that's too bad, but I still can't say goodnight
And I just can't stay tonight
I woke up saying goodnight
Goodnight

Goodnight
Sleepless nights don't bother me at all
If dawn comes I won't worry
Something deep inside keeps me awake
I wish that you were here right beside me, woah
I recall when I was very young
And could not go to sleep
My father sang me songs to make me tired
But memories don't make it easier
So goodnight wherever you are sleeping
And I hope that if you dream you dream of me
So goodnight wherever you are sleeping
And I hope that if you dream you dream of me
Now I lie awake and it's no fun
Tossing and turning
I'd call you if it weren't so very late
But telephones don't bring you close to me, woah
I recall the times we stayed up late
Wide awake but still dreaming
There was nothing on this earth could make me tired
But memories don't make it easier
So goodnight wherever you are sleeping
And I hope that if you dream, if you dream, you dream of me
So goodnight wherever you are sleeping
And I hope that if you dream, if you dream, you dream of me
And I hope that if you dream you dream of me

And I Hope That He Loves You (a song)
well I hope that he loves you like a blazing fire
and I hope that he lets you have all that you need and more
I really hope that he gives you the key to his heart
and just maybe he'll give you the key to his door
so you can sneak in at one in the morning
and kiss him like you know you've always wanted to
neither of you care about the girl he gave up for you
you're both just so glad that he told her 'adieu'
well I hope that he loves you softer than the bedsheets in your room
and I hope that you tell him stories about your past
I really hope that he holds you and says 'goodnight' so quietly
it makes you realize that the love will last
and when you wake up he'll still be there lying next to you
and he'll give you that enchanting smile
and you'll tell him how glad you are that you met him
and he'll tell you how much he loves your romantic style
well I hope he practices his grin for you
and I hope he's gone with the wind for you
I really hope he's willing to sin for you
because I know he'll let you touch his skin for you
because he's gone with the wind for you
and I hope that he loves you more than life itself
and I hope that you make him feel good about himself
I hope you wonder where I sleep at night
I hope you wonder if I'm alright
I hope you wonder if you made a mistake
I hope you know that you made a heart break...
for the first time, for the first time
well thanks to you it's the last time, it's the last time
I'm never going to love again
because of you, and the things you said back then
cause that was the last time, cause you didn't come through
and I hope that he loves you

Sweet Suzanne
Taken from the o.s.t. falling from grace and starring john mellencamp and mariel hemingway and john prine. the song was written by john mellencamp and sung by the buzzin cousi
Ot; (john prine, john mellencamp, dwight yoakam, ):
Now, right now, look at the place Im in
When I think about things that I could have done
Its impossible for me to pretend
Chorus
But I see it now as the lights grow dim
And the world starts to close its eyes
I just wanted to say goodnight, sweet suzanne
I hear the music playing, but I no longer understand
Around the corner, down the street
Its got to better than where I am
Repeat chorus
I just wanted to say goodnight
Just wanted to see if everything was all right
Just wanted to say goodnight, sweet suzanne
Time goes by, oh so quietly
Hazy days and memories
And in the end there was only me
Wouldnt have been, I ask sometimes
But I see myself inside this rhyme
Enjoyed what I had back then
Would I do it again?
Well I see it now, as the light grows dim
I just wanted to say goodnight, sweet suzanne
I just wanted to say goodnight
I just wanted to seee if everythings all right
Just wanted to say goodnight, sweet suzanne
(repeat last verse)

I was very excited about the idea that I could be an idealist, that I could be my age, the eager beaver who had hope in the justice system and the one who gets disappointed just like the audience.

Were There Hope
I was never in a league of noble gentlemen
To whom she'd cast polite and flitting smiles,
Only distant hope and dying dreams for me!
Or perhaps descent into a game of wiles
To give a chance of sipping wine on heady nights
With her angelic presence to declare;
Above, an aura playing out hypnotic hues,
And I in awe of blonde cascades of hair.
But no! my tiring soul is sinking in a mire
To haunt me for an age and evermore, for
How could I expect to hold her silken hand
When I am but a soulless ghost of yore?

Grand Theft Autumn
Where is your boy tonight? I hope he is a gentleman
Maybe he won't find out what I know
You were the last good thing about this part of town
When I wake up
I'm willing to take my chances on the hope i forget that you hate him more than you notice I wrote this for you.
You need him. I could be him
I could be an accident but I'm still trying.
That's more than I can say for him.
Where is your boy tonight? I hope he is a gentleman.
Maybe he won't find out what I know
You were the last good thing about this part of town.
Someday I'll appreciate in value
Get off my ass and call you
But for the meantime I'll sport my brand new fashion
of waking up with my pants off at 4:00 in the afternoon.
You need him, I could be him
I could be an accicent but I'm still trying.
That's more than I can say for him.
Where is your boy tonight? I hope he is a gentleman.
Maybe he won't find out what I know
You were the last good thing about this part of town
Where is your boy tonight? I hope he is a gentleman
Maybe he won't find out what I know, you were the last good thing about this part of time
(Repeat)
Maybe he won't find out what I know, you were the last good thing about this part of town

But me and my wife have parted
Im gonna take another stroll downtown

Go home to your wife and your family
Sit down by your fireside so bright

I Couldn't Ever Love Anyone Else
My skin poured red,
It Felt like swords had stabbed me dead,
Love was a word,
I never herd,
Or said,
I'm sick of being alone in my cold bed,
My views on life had been blurred,
I walked this earth blinded by dread,
Pain and fear was all I knew,
But than I meet you.
Your an angel,
In every way your own,
You makes me feel not alone.
All I do,
Is think of you,
You are my baby boo,
you make my days better when I'm feeling blue,
If I lost you,
I don't know what I would do.
But I know you're my baby,
And you would never hurt me,
And I hope this
Has made you see,
That you're my world,
And I would do anything to be with you.
I want to hold you,
Squeeze you,
Please you
Be with you
Now,
Forever,
And always.
The way you
Look into my eyes,
Tells me there will
Never be any lies.
I hope to spend forever,
With the one I love.
Please don't ever,
Let me go,
I don't want to say good bye,
But I promise I'll be back so please don't cry.
If you're reading this laying in your bed,
Imagine lying with me,
Putting your head,
On my chest,
Closing your eyes and drifting into the deepest rest,
Goodnight my sweetie,
Goodnight my baby,
Goodnight my dork,
Goodnight my lover
Goodnight and sweet dreams.

No Longer Can You Brake My Logical Reasoning
No longer can you brake
my logical reasoning through your sensitivity
the central part of me stays
and throws you out bit by bit.
You heart that could confuse,
that had chased me around, which had challenged me
and sometimes could provoke me
will in no strategy succeed any longer.
With your nurturing I have made myself orphan,
while your irrationality has brought all reason into confusion
but now you can read the writing on the wall
and I will cause no more anarchy that penetrates to others
I will rather live without standing the whole time on the abyss
and without fear than to be purposeless forever.

The Only Flame In Town
I know a girl got my mind in a mess
I never heard her say goodnight and God bless
Shes not the only flame in town
And when were alone we never quarrel
Im miles away now heres the moral
Shes not the only flame in town
Shes not the only flame in town
Shes got to stop thinking that im
Carrying this torch around
He struck a match and it lit up her face
We should have struck a match girl
To burn down the whole place
Now youre not the only flame in town
But you blew hot and cold
Turned my heart to a cinder
And with each passing day
Youd be less tender and more tinder
Now youre not the only flame in town
Shes not the only flame in town
Shes got to stop thinking that im
Carrying this torch around
Thought I saw your face in the fire
But its so hard to remember
Even an inferno can cool down to an ember
Now youre not the only flame
Youre not the only flame
Youre not the only flame in town

Goodnight, Hollywood Blvd.
Its happening baby
Theyre putting up the chairs
Zaking the money
And all we can do is pray
Pray for tomorrow
So close your eyes
So close your mouth
And do this all in time to the music
That screams like a child in the back of your mind
In a clowns saloon
So goodnight hollywood blvd, goodnight,
See ya soon
Goodnight hollywood blvd, see you sometime
Yeah, right
Run away baby
Back to your lonely house
You wanted the honey
But you were only just stinging yourself
Its hard to watch
So close your eyes
And I close your mouth
And I do this all in time to the music
That dance like fools set on fire
Flailing their arms in a room full of whores
So goodnight hollywood blvd, goodnight,
See ya soon
Goodnight hollywood blvd, see you sometime
Yeah, right
Yeah, right

Little Darlin
Hello, little darlin.
Cant see why youre cryin.
Dont even know why you came by so soon.
And I know that you love me.
Remember that you left me.
Why were you so afraid of the truth?
Now, no, no.
Now, no, no.
Hello, how you doing?
Hope I did not ruin any plans you had to pull me through.
So sit down at my table.
Well talk about and label all the things you claim to be untrue.
Now, no, no.
Now, no, no. (ah...)
I see you driving out of town.
I just hope some how (ah...) youll be alright again. (ah...)
I see you driving out of town.
I just hope some how (ah...)well be alright again.
Now, I told you right from the start
That I dont want to play the part of being the blame for a brokenhearted fool.
And, now that I dont see you much,
I wish that we had stayed in touch.
I dont know what I would say or what you think I would do.
Now, no, no. now, no, no. now, no. now, no, no. now, no, no. (ah...)
I see you driving out of town.
I just hope some how (ah...) youll be alright again.
I see you driving out of town.
I just hope some how well be alright again.

Hope At It's Strongest
Hope is the thing that keeps us going
Hope is a poem without any words
Hope is what follows us everyday
Hope is the light that sparks our eyes
Hope that it will all get better
Hope that you will find love
Hope that people will be kind
Hope that you will stay alive
Hope is the strongest thing of all
Hope will allow us not to fall
Hope will rise against anything
Hope is like a fiery ring
Hope never stops
Hope is always there
Without it we would be lost
Without out it we would not care
