So Long, Marianne
Come over to the window, my little darling,
Id like to try to read you palm
I used to think I was some kind of gypsy boy
Before I let you take me home.
Chorus: so long marianne, its time that we began
To laugh and cry and cry and laugh about it all again
Well, you know that I love to live with you,
But you make me forget so very much
I forget to pray for the angel
And then the angels forget to pray for us.
Chorus
We met when we were almost young
Deep in the green lilac park
You held on to me like I was a crucifix
As we went kneeling through the dark.
Chorus
Your letters say that you are beside me now
Then why do I feel alone?
Im standing on a ledge and your fine spider web
Is fastening my ankle to a stone.
Chorus
For now I need your hidden love
Im cold as a new razor blade
You left when I told you I was curious
I never said that I was brave.
Chorus
O you are really such a pretty one
I see youve gone and changed your name again
And just when I climbed this whole mountainside
To wash my eyelids in the rain.
Chorus

Long Way Home
Its hard to say from where you stand
Exactly when it all began
But someplace theres a point you cross the line
You see the tears than stain your face
Mirrored in your make-up case
And know its time to leave this place behind
Chorus:
Its a long way home
Its a long way home
Its a long way home
Trying to retrace your steps
All too easy to forget
Just which way to go
Its a long way home
Outside the sky is threatening
You slowly gather up your things
And wonder how you ever will explain
Walking out so self-assured
Yeah, you were gonna change the world
Walking back, a child in the rain
Chorus:
Its a long way home
Its a long way home
Its a long way home
How can you retrace the steps
Youve been trying to forget
Still its time to go
And its a long way home
And if you lose your way
Just keep your eye upon that endless broken line
Throw bag beneath the bus
Sit among the curious
It happens to the best of us, you know
Chorus:
Its a long way home
Its a long way home
Its a long way home
Starting to retrace your steps
You learn to live with your regrets
Next stop heaven knows
Its a long way home
Such a long way
Its a long way home

Cry For Me
(tim miner)
Close my eyes at night
Who do I see
Standing right in front of me
Is it the one I try to forget
From my heart all my tears they flow
Never wanting to let you go
But somehow I did
You were out to
Chorus:
Cry for me
Pray that I can somehow see
I have nothing left to cry for you
You will have to
Cry my tears
Pray I let go of my fears
I have nothing left to cry for you
I dont know where I got on
Where I let go
But somehow I think you know
Just what you took and
Just what I gave
From my heart all my tears they flow
Never wanting to let you go
But somehow I did
So you will have to
Chorus
Id love to forget about way back when
And forgive you of the hurt again
But Ive tried, oh Ive tried
So you will have to

Same Ol' Situation
She's got an alligator bag
Top hat to match
Dressed in black on black
She's got a philipino girlie
She claims is her friend
I tell you boys, you just gotta laugh
Now i used to call her cindy
She changed her name to "sin"
I guess that's the name of her game
I really used to love her
Then, the kitty she discovered
It's got to be a sexual thing
(pre-chorus)
All around the world
Girls will be girls
(chorus)
It's the same ol', same ol' situation
It's the same ol', same ol' ball and chain
I say no, no, no
No, no, no
Introduced me to her lover
In a cellophane dress
Then they bid me a sweet farewell
Last time i saw them
They were kissing so softly
To the sound of wedding bells
Well,

Mercy On My Soul (feat. Warren Haynes)
A trust betrayed a rusty blade
Standing on edge
I walked a line, paid my fine
Hope I know the ledge
Actual facts, unnatural acts
Sins they take their toll
The angel and the jinn and the beast within
The fight to take control
CHORUS:
Lord, have mercy on my soul
On my soul
On my soul
On my soul
Lord, I need ya like a junkie needs his drugs
Need ya like a baby boy needs his hugs
Need ya like a flower needs the sun
I need you like D.M.C needs Run
CHORUS
Love you like a Eskimos love the cold
Love you like a miner man love his gold
Love you like a fisherman love the sea
Love you like the flowers love the work bees
CHORUS
Standing up tall on top of the wall
Hoping I can fly
Angel and the jinn and the beast within' say I'm gonna die

Crown Of Scars
Forget about the fight to wear the crown of scars
cause youve already won
Forget the pain and the tears behind you
Bury underneath your feet the remains
Of whats been left behind
cause you have got a long a long way to run
But now you dance the rest of the way
And you dont look back
Can you hear that angel singing
As you rise
Chorus: now you fly away
And you dont look down now
And you laugh till you cant laugh any longer
As you watch your chains fall to the ground
Will you fall against the wall that you have built with your own hands
When you trip upon the thorns that you have tied your legs together with
When you walk upon thin ice that you know you know you should not be walking
Why do you wonder why that you fell through
Chorus
And now you laugh
And your tears
Smile down at your fears
From where you are
From way up here
You know nothings ever looked so good
Nothing ever looked so good
But now you dance the rest of the way
You dont look back
Can you hear that angel singing
As you rise

Tears
(frankie miller)
Producer for bonnie: jim steinman
Such a long time ago
Now I know
Youve woke up to find
You were wrong
There aint no doubt
Put me out
Nearly made me blind
You sent me a letter, brought tears to my eyes
Tell me youve changed, after all this time
Like a stone rolling down the mountainside
Its over, you cant turn the tide, and its...
Chorus
Tears falling about love, falling without love
Tears falling about love, falling without love
I was glad
To be with you
Near to you
My heart cant deny
I was sad
To leave your side
Stripped of pride
When you said goodbye
For every new road there must be a friend
For every broken heart there must be a mend
And the rain only lasted so long
Its over, the thing we had is gone, and its...
Chorus - instrumental
To tell me youve changed brought tears to my eyes
Say youve rearranged after all this time

I Cant Believe
[chorus:]
I cant believe that love has gone away from me
I cant believe that love has gone away
I cant believe that love has gone away from me
I cant believe that love has gone away
(I cant believe youve gone away)
[112]
Hours, days and nights I sat and I prayed
Never thought that I would see this day
I didnt think that it could hurt so bad
A broken heart was never meant for me
[faith]
Lord, let it please rain on my face
So that it could wash away all my tears
If this is the house that love is in let me leave
Cuz I dont wanna be hurt like this again
I cant believe
[chorus]
[112]
Many times I watched you while you were asleep
With thoughts of living life with only you
If I had read your mind and things could have changed
Ill give anything to be with you again
[112]
All I ever wanted was to see your face
And hear your pretty voice from day to day
Now that youve gone I have no reason for feeling that way
I cant believe youve gone away
[chorus]
[112]
When I look back on the times weve shared
Our life was ok, now what else could come down
[faith]
Dont you know you were my love (my only love)
And I cant believe that youve gone away

Simple Man
(gary rossington - ronnie vanzant)
Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say.
And if you do this
It will help you some sunny day.
Take your time... dont live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
Go find a woman and youll find love,
And dont forget son,
There is someone up above.
(chorus)
And be a simple kind of man.
Be something you love and understand.
Be a simple kind of man.
Wont you do this for me son,
If you can?
Forget your lust for the rich mans gold
All that you need is in your soul,
And you can do this if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.
(chorus)
Boy, dont you worry... youll find yourself.
Follow you heart and nothing else.
And you can do this if you try.
All I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.

Don't Tell Me
You held my hand and walked me home
I know
While you gave me that kiss
It was something like this
It made me go: "oh, oh"
You wiped my tears
Got rid of all my fears
Why did you have to go
Guess it wasn't enough
To take up some of my love
Guys are so hard to trust
(Pre-chorus)
Did I not tell you that I'm
Not like that girl the one who
Gives it all away, yeah
(Chorus)
Did you think that I was gonna give it up to you
This time
Did you think that it was something I was gonna do
And cry
Don't try to tell me what to do
Don't try to tell me what to say
You're better off that way, yeah
Don't think that your charm
And the fact that your arm
Is now around my neck
Will get you in my pants
I'll have to kick your ass
And make you never forget
I'm gonna ask you to stop
Thought I liked you a lot
But I'm really upset (I'm really upset)
So get out of my head
Get off of my bed, yeah that's what I said

This guilt trip that you put me on won't
Mess me up I've done no wrong
Any thoughts of you and me have gone

Chorus: I never promised you a happy ending
You never said you wouldnt make me cry
But summer love will keep us warm long after

Thinkin of you
And the love of our lives
In the sweet summertime
So sad but true (so true, so true)
We must leave it behind
In our hearts, in our minds

Bittersweet was the love that we share
Dont forget
I remember
Repeat chorus (2x)
Memories can fade
But my heart has a place
For the smile on your face
And maybe someday
We can be more than friends
Love will find us again
Red leaves and blue tomorrows
Time will give back the love that we shared
On the time that we borrowed

Well leave behind
The summertime
Our hearts, our minds
They will remind
We wont forget

The day we cried

There are some new things you must try

I see no reason I should try
To hold you back
And keep you for my own
Oh whoah dont forget your way home

Many roads may lead you back this way
And you may change your mind someday
And when youve missed this life weve known

Ill always be the keeper of this flame
And it will burn long after youre gone
Oh whoah dont forget your way home

Gives us children, makes us wine
Tells us what to take, or leave behind
And the gifts of growing old
All the stories to be told of the feelings more precious than gold

And when another day is through

I was someone else's girl
Every time you look in my eyes
All that I felt somehow dies
No no no no
Can't you see what you're doing to me
No no no no

Don't look at me with that smile
Don't act like everything's fine
Stop putting dreams in my head
When I should've thought of him instead
When you say the things you do
It makes me want to be with you
And every time that he kisses me
You are always what I see
No no no no
You make me forget about him

I Told You So
Verse 1
Suppose I called you up tonight
And told you that I love you
And suppose I said I want to come back home
And suppose I cried and said I think I finally learned my lesson
And Im tired of spending all my time alone
If I told you that I realized youre all I ever wanted
And its killing me to be so far away
Would you tell my that you love me too
And would we cry together
Or would you simply laugh at me and say...
Chorus
I told you so, I told you so
I told you some day youd come crawling back
And asking me to take you in
I told you so, but you had to go
Now Ive found somebody new
And you will never break my heart in two again
Verse 2
If I got down on my knees
And told you I was yours forever
Would you get down on yours too and take my hand
Would we get that old-time feeling
Would we laugh and talk for hours
The way we did when our love first began
Would you tell me that youve missed me too
And that youve been so lonely
And youve waited for the day that I returned
And wed live and love forever
And that Im your one and only
Or would you say the tables finally turned
And would you say...

Deep inside, forget your pride

Do they crash down and fall apart?
