The Joyful Kilmarnock Blues
Im not going to talk about doubts and confusion
On a night when I can see with my eyes shut
Id never been to ayrshire
I hitched down one saturday
Sixty miles to kilmarnock
To see hibernian play
The day was bright and sunny
But the game I wont relay
And there was no kilmarnock bunnet
To make me want to stay
But Im not going to talk about it
On a night when I can see with my eyes shut
When I started walking at wishaw
My eyes obscured my vision
After five miles on my way
I began to learn to listen
I walked through the country
I walked through the town
I held my head up
And I didnt look down
The question doesnt matter
The answers always aye
The best view of all
Is where the land meets the sky.

Dont Shut Me Out
Don't shut me out maybe baby
We should talk about it
'Cause you've got your doubts but maybe, baby
They might be unfounded
Have a little faith you'll make it through
I'd never hesitate to talk to you
If you tell me just what's weighing on your mind
Maybe it could help you sleep tonight
So don't shut me out
Don't be so proud don't ya know that
Before a fall it leaves ya
And it'll take you down baby that ain't
Where I wanna see ya
The sun'll rise tomorrow come what may
And you'll feel better than you do today
And in time you'll cry no more
I know 'cause my heart's been there before
And here I am when you need someone
My shoulder's yours to cry upon
And everybody now and then
Needs and understanding friend around
So don't shut me out
Don't shut me out maybe baby
We should talk about it
'Cause you've got your doubts but maybe, baby
They might be unfounded
Listen to your heart and clear your mind
And you will find the answer every time
Every road you travel on will lead
To where it is your heart's supposed to be
And here I am when you need someone
My shoulder is yours to cry upon
And everybody now and then
Needs an understandin' friend around
So don't shut me out, don't shut me out, don't shut me out

I Had A Talk With My Man Last Night
(davis / caston)
I had a talk with my man last night
He reassured me everything was still all right
As the night grew light
My blues got bright
He made me know
I was the star of the show
He said he was mine all to myself
And I wont, and he wont, ever need nobody else
He took me in his arms
And turned on my love
Ooh, yes he did, yes he did, yes he did, oh, oh
I had a talk with my man last night
He said never again lonely would I be
And thats when he asked to marry me
I began to cry
He kissed the tears from my weeping eyes
Oh, yes he did, yes he did, yes he did, oh, oh
I had a talk with my man last night

Teen Dream Come True
it was a summer nights dream, not a cloud to be seen
the sky a beautiful orange red
i saw you and i thought that i was dead.
then a vision came into my eyes
the vision was of you and i.
and the tears came down like the rain from the sky
not even thinking or knowing why.
i was attracted to you like bees to honey
it seemed strange- it seemed funny.
then i recalled the first time that i saw you:
i was walking to school with my friends that day
you was with your friends walking the opposite way.
our eyes met and neither one of us
could pull our gaze away.
i wanted to chase and talk to you
but i did'nt know what to say.
it's five years later and we are young adults now
and i still could'nt make a sound.
so you walked over to me with a smile so wide
that i became hypnotized.
hi! my name is venus, and i remember you from school.
you walked by and i played the fool.
i could'nt speak, i stood transfixed at the way our eyes met
and it still haunts me yet.
there was so many things that i wanted to say
but you continued to walk away.
now i'm older and no longer shy.
would you like to sit with me and have a glass of wine?
still speechless- i shook my head.
then the words rose to my throat.
'i always thought of you' i started to boast.
you captured my heart on that very first day
and there was so many things that i wanted to say.
your eyes had pulled me in like
a whirlpool in the ocean, and set all my feelings in motion.
i thought of you night and day
but did'nt know from where you came.
i searched every hallway and each classroom
but you was gone much too soon.
she said: i was tranferred from school that very day
but to the LORD i did pray.
that i would see you again, and that we'd be more than friends.
if we could just sit and talk, and learn about each other
for in my heart there was no other.
we reached across the table and our hands touched
for the first time, and our bodies started to
shake and quiver, and chills running up and
down our spines.
she knew i was hers, and she was mine.
embarassed, because we thought that people had saw
the way that we reacted.
we grabbed hands and ran out the door.
to once again face the beautiful orange red sky
and knew this was a love sublime.

We Walked Together In The Night
We walked together in the night
Hand in hand, intertwined
It was like a magical dream
I just couldn't believe
We walked together in the night
My heart raced on as if I might die
You calmed me down and told me everything would be alright
We walked together in the night
Just you and I
You held my hand, you held me close
You protected me, and kept me safe
We walked together in the night
That night was the best time of my life
Time I spent with you
We walked together in the night
We're just best friends....
But does this date mean anything?
We walked together in the night
We laughed, We played
We were nervous, We were afraid
What might happen after this night?
We walked together in the night
You took me out to the movies
You took me back to my house
Everything was perfect then
Until I ruined it...
I walked away with tears in my eyes.....I ruined it
I walked back home alone that night...because we weren't ready to date just yet

If I Could Walk a Million Miles
If I could walk a million miles where would I begin my journey?
I would probably begin my Journey with a talk With God.
I would ask him why he made my legs unable to walk.
Then after my talk with God I’d walk a few more miles until I came upon my mother.
I stop and ask her is it because of my disability you treated me like I’m not one of your children.
Now after my mother denies that she doesn’t do such a thing; I’d continue my journey of a million miles.
Now at the end of my journey when I have walked a million miles before I rest I hope that while walking
these million miles that in some of the steps I took my footprints left an impression behind.
If I could walk a million miles
Power Of A Million Lights
I hear your voice close on the phone
But I know youre far away
Ive waited so long to talk to you
But now I cant find the words to say
So I sit and I listen to you
Breathe on the open line
I can almost taste your lips
And touch your hair
Its like intoxicating wine
I can almost see your face
Through the miles and miles of space
Chorus
I can feel the power of a million lights
When I see your eyes burn bright
I can see the sparks of a million volts
When you touch me through the night
I can feel the heat across a million miles
When you voice comes through the line
I can feel the power of a million lights
Come through the satellite
Although these oceans hold us apart
Where theres a will theres a way
Im going to reach across the miles of sea
No matter what they say
So close your eyes and Ill be there
Theres magic in the sky tonight
When you see the lightning flash around the world
Its the power of a million lights
Until I see your face
Through the miles and miles of space
Chorus
Somewhere over the atmosphere
The signals are crossed
Now youre not so clear
The power is out and the lights are down
My head is spinning
Round and round and round and round and round
You know I need you more tonight
By the power of a million lights

Bottle Rockets
Thought that Id be strong enough for both of us
And you had given up
Is there anybody strong enough for you
She said shes scared of waking up
Shes realized its all been a mistake
She didnt have to be afraid
But you walked out on me
It doesnt really matter what you said
Cuz Ive tried
To turn this water into wine
It doesnt have to be so hard to understand
The things that we should do
I know I made it difficult for you
She said I couldnt give enough
To make her feel the way she wanted to
This doesnt have to be so hard
But you walked out on me
It doesnt really matter what you said
And I tried
To turn this water into wine
It takes time
Its not that way
T here are several different answers here
But you just walked away

Dont Talk
[ dennis drew/natalie merchant ]
Dont talk, I will listen.
Dont talk, you keep your distance
For Id rather hear some truth tonight than entertain your lies,
So take you poison silently.
Let me be. let me close my eyes.
Dont talk, Ill believe it.
Dont talk, listen to me instead,
I know that if you think of it, both long enough and hard
The drink you drown your troubles in is the trouble youre in now.
Talk talk talk about it, if you talk as if you care
But when your talk is over tilt that bottle in the air,
Tossing back more than your share.
Dont talk, I can guess it.
Dont talk, well now your restless
And you need somewhere to put the blame for how you feel inside.
Youll look for a close and easy mark and youll see me as fair game.
Talk talk talk about it, talk as if you care
But when your talk is over tilt that bottle in the air
Tossing back more than your share.
You talk talk talk about it, you talk as if you care.
Im marking every word and can tell this time for sure,
Your talk is the finest I have heard.
So dont talk, let me go on dreaming.
How your eyes they glow so fiercely I can tell your inspired
By the name you chose for me. now what was it? o, never mind it.
We will talk talk talk about this when your head is clear.
Ill discuss this in the morning, but until then you may talk but I wont hear.

2000 Miles
Theres something I need to say
Im not sad youre gone away no way
Wont be calling information
Or waiting at the railway station
You walked out of my front door
I wasnt then but now Im sure
I need to be at least 2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you
Had to get me to the church on time
To say that silly I do I do nursery rhyme
Youve been bitching at me for awhile
Say hey now baby dont you cramp my style
Dont go beating me like that
Im glad I wont be coming back
I need to be at least 2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you
2000 miles away from you

Kiss The Dawn
Loaded forecast on you
The pants are tight
You are ready to use
Searching for some trouble
Whos gonna be the one
And try to feed your hunger
Empty eyes
Leading your own sorrow
None to get on
None to roll over this night honey
The lavatory is open
As you blocked his head away
Twenty-one is such a good number
Conversation lost its weight anyway
We are walking on a thin line
No you better stay away from this
And shut your mug
And read my lips
We are just kids
Do you talk to me
Pull the string
So I can be a doll
You wont cover me up
Cause Im the girl who kisses the dawn
Kiss the dawn
Kiss the dawn
Rebel mad and broken
Why do you throw your days away
Twenty-one was not a good number
Conversation lost its hate anyway
You are walking on a thin line
And you better avoid the risk
So shut your mug
And read my lips
We are just kids
Do you talk to me
Pull the string
So I can be your doll
You wont cover me up
Cause Im the girl who kisses the dawn
Dont you talk to me
Pull the string
Dont want to be your doll
You wont cover me up
Because Im the girl who eats the scrub

Separation
If I walk a thousand miles
and have no place to go
my adventure will be worrisome
and all the things I know
will make me want to hesitate
before taking another stride.
For all the places I leave behind
are places where I cried.
But I needed the walk to show me
that escape was not the way.
All I did was travel right along
and at the end of the day
those miles I walked were numbing
and gave me nothing new.
So I walked a thousand more miles
and came back home to you.
My feet were sore. My heart was sore
but then I saw your face.
And all those miles that I walked
never could replace
the familiarity, the same old scene
and how being with you feels.
Time and space can't fix all wounds
but the walking somehow heals.

Million Miles Away
Friday night, Id just got back
I had my eyes shut, was dreaming about the past
I thought about you while the radio played
Should have got loaded but for some reason I stayed
I started drifting to a different place
I realized I was falling off the face of the world
And there was nothing there to bring us back
cause youre a million miles away
A million miles away
And theres nothing there to bring us back today
Todayoh no
I took a ride and I went downtown
The streets were empty, there was no one around
I went to places that we used to go
Seen all the places that we used to know
Im at the wrong end of the looking glass
Im trying to hold on to the hands of the past and you
And theres nothing there to bring us back
cause youre a million miles away
A million miles away
And theres nothing there to bring us back today
Todayoh no
cause youre million miles away
A million miles away
Just a million miles away
A million miles away
And theres nothing there to bring us back today
Todayayayoh no

Lets Talk
I saw you coming
I called your name
You couldnt hear me
You walked on by
Somethings changed
Everythings rearranged
You didnt see me
You didnt answer
I was invisible to your cause
I tried to tell you
I was your friend
You just kept walking
Like it was the end
Lets talk
Tell me all about it
Lets talk
What could it hurt now?
Lets talk
Wont you tell me what is wrong, yeah?
Lets talk
We can work it out, somehow
I saw you coming
You wore a wig
I wanted to laugh
But you looked so serious
I say lets talk
And you just walk
How was i
To approach you?
You really left no room
Run out in the crowd
If you really want to,
But why not try
For something new?

Do
Do
Well somebody walked up to me
but i didnt know what to do
and then somebody said hello to me
but i didnt know what to do
because i think that my words could get
twisted so i bend my back over take a
gulp be funny cause i know theres nothing i can do
Then my mother tried to pick me up
when i was sittin down on the ground
something forced my little eyes come open
but i couldnt make out the sound
it doesnt matter cause my eyes are lying
and they dont have emotion
dont wanna be social, cant take it when they hate me
but i know theres nothing i can do
When my thoughts start to feel like mine
theyre taken from me it seems to happen
all the time (every time)
and the feelings that are fine for you
theres somebody there
who doesnt think they are true
so think of something new
theres nothing left to do
And then my idols walk next to me
i look up at them they fade away
its a destruction of a mystery
the more i listen to what they say
so does that mean that theres no more doin
and theres no more thinkin
and theres no more feeling
cause theres no right opinion
so can you tell me what im supposed to do

Why Do You Talk
Why do you talk, why do you waste time
Saying the same old thing, it should be a crime
You never listen, instead you stammer
As though youre interesting, and full of glamour
As though youre interesting, and full of glamour
Why do you talk so much, why dont you shut up
You have nothing to say, you lack drama
Its the same old thing, youd like to know why
Who made the earth move, who made the sky high
Who made the earth move, who made the sky high
Who made your blood red, who made you think thoughts
Who made you breathe a breath, tell me why do you talk
Oh, tell me why do you talk, tell me why do you talk
Tell me why do you talk
Why do you always talk, why do you make sound
Why dont you listen, why do you talk so much
Why dont you listen, why do you talk so much
Why dont you shut up, why dont you shut up
Why dont you shut up, why do you talk so much

Sunrise On The Road
1) sunrise on the road Im feeling high today
Will you ride with me into the night
If I didnt know where I was going to
Would you say that it could be alright
2) we broke down and ended up in new orleans
Saved our souls with an evil groove
Marie laveau was gazing in her crystal ball
Saw my eyes were hazy from the road
3) I walked through the city with my empty glass
Filled it with the mystery of the past
A thousand people danced into the morning sun
This forever feels like it could last
4) walking through the streets down in the marony
Swirling dancers in the second line
Swept me to a place Ive seen in fantasys
Somehow I think I lost track of the time
5) & so I left new orleans with a photograph
Of a thousand miles we left behind
& I saw the city fading in my rear view mirror
Hazy as the road began to wind
6) sunrise on the road Im feeling high today
Will you ride with me into the night
7) we broke down and ended up in new orleans
She took our souls just looking in her eyes
The moon was falling down into the eastern sky
Dreaming as the sun began to rise... (3x)

When I Need You
When I need you
Just close my eyes and I'm with you
And all that I so want to give you
It's only a heart beat away
When I need love
I hold out my hands and I touch love
I never knew there was so much love
Keeping me warm night and day
Miles and miles of empty space in between us
A telephone can't take the place of your smile
But you know I wont be traveling for ever
It's cold out

Beer And Bones
I ain't nothin' but beer and bones
Honey since I lost you
I ain't ate a bite
Since the night
That you said we're through
I walked to that jukebox to play
A few sad country songs
I heard someone say
Hey that old boy
Ain't nothin' but beer and bones
I got to work this morning
Early this afternoon
Yeah my boss man nudged me
Said son I need to talk to you
You used to make me money
But lately I been taking a loss
Well he smelled my breath
Gave me what was left
Of the day off
I ain't nothin' but beer and bones
Honey since I lost you
I ain't ate a bite
Since the night
That you said we're through
I walked to that jukebox to play
A few sad country songs
I heard someone say
Hey that old boy
Ain't nothin' but beer and bones
Well I wish I could go home
And rest my weary head
But I know I'll just stay here
And have another beer instead
That little waitress asked me
Honey could you use some help
I said I thank you miss
I'll have to get through this
By my dang self
I ain't nothin' but beer and bones
Honey since I lost you
I ain't ate a bite
Since the night
That you said we're through
I walked to that jukebox to play
A few sad country songs

Hey that old boy
Ain't nothin' but beer and bones

Drivin With Your Eyes Closed
I met a frenchman in a field last night
He was out there with an easel,
Painting carnival light
He said, I used to paint the princess;
I used to paint the frogs
Now I paint mustaches on dangerous dogs
He said, sometimes its a country;
Sometimes its a girl
You, everybody got to have a purpose
In this world
You yankees are so silly about matters of
The heart
Dont you know that women are the only
Works of art
Youre drivin with your eyes closed
Youre drivin with your eyes closed
Youre drivin with your eyes closed
Youre gonna hit somethin
But thats the way it goes
Some guys were born to rimbaud
Some guys breathe baudelaire
Some guys just got to go and put
Their rockets everywhere
You can breed em by the thousands;
You can trick and you can train
Just look at all those poor dogs that are
Dragged down bu the seine
How many arrows must I shoot into the
Blue?
Ah, you little maniac, Im crazy over you
Before the dearth of lovers and
The punishment of pride
Lets go scrape out on the terrazzo
Its just to hot outside
Youre drivin with your eyes closed
Youre drivin with your eyes closed
Youre drivin with your eyes closed
Youre gonna hit somethin
But thats the way it goes
Talk talk, talk and talk
Talk talk, sweet talk
Talk talk, tough talk
Talk talk, dirty talk
Talk talk, walk and talk
Talk talk, big talk
Kiss kiss, kiss
Talk talk, talk and talk
Talk talk, smooth talk
Talk talk, body talk
Talk talk, back talk
Talk talk, small talk
Talk talk, baby talk
Talk talk, peace talk
Talk talk, bullshit
