If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried Still I look to find a reason to believe Someone like you makes it hard to live without somebody else Someone like you makes it easy to give never think about myself If I gave you time to change my mind I'd find a way just to leave the past behind Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried Still I look to find a reason to believe If I listened long enough to you I'd find a way to believe that it's all true Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried Still I look to find a reason to believe Someone like you makes it hard to live without somebody else Someone like you makes it easy to give never think about myself |

When the rain came I thought you'd leave
'cause I knew how much you loved the sun But you chose to stay, stay and keep me warm through the darkest nights I've ever known If the mandolin wind couldn't change a thing then I know I love ya Oh the snow fell without a break Buffalo died in the frozen fields you know Through the coldest winter in almost fourteen years I couldn't believe you kept a smile Now I can rest assured knowing that we've seen the worst And I know I love ya Oh I never was good with romantic words so the next few lines come really hard Don't have much but what I've got is yours except of course my steel guitar Ha, 'cause I know you don't play but I'll teach you one day because I love ya I recall the night we knelt and prayed Noticing your face was thin and pale I found it hard to hide my tears I felt ashamed I felt I'd let you down No mandolin wind couldn't change a thing Couldn't change a thing no, no The coldest winter in almost fourteen years could never, never change your mind And I love ya Yes indeed and I love ya And I love ya Lordy I love ya |

Something told me it was over
when I saw you and him talking Something deep down in my soul said "Cry boy" when I saw you and him out walking I would rather, I would rather go blind girl than to see you walk away from me child So you see I love you so much I dont want to see you leave me baby most of all I just dont, I just don't want to be free I was just, I was just sitting here thinking of your kiss and your warm embrace child When the reflection in the glass that I been held to my lips now baby revealed the tears I had on my face I would rather, I would rather be blind child than to see you walk away from me Baby, baby, baby I would rather go blind than to see you walk away from me |

Angel came down from heaven yesterday
Stayed with me long enough to rescue me And she told me a story yesterday About the sweet love between the moon and the deep blue sea Then she spread her wings high over me She said she?s goin' now, come back tomorrow |

Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel so uninspired But when I knew I had to face another long, long day Girl I used to feel so tired Before the day I met you Life had been so unkind But you're the key to my peace of mind 'Cause you made me feel, you made me feel You made me feel like a natural man When my soul was in the lost and found You came along to claim it I didn't know, I didn't know just what was wrong with me 'Til your kiss helped me to name it Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for But if I make you happy I don't need to do more 'Cause you made me feel, you made me feel You made me feel like a natural man Oo baby, baby look what you have done to me Can't you see that you made me feel so good inside Don't you know that I just want to be Close to you, you made me feel so alive 'Cause you made me feel, you made me feel You made me feel like a natural man Baby I ain't doubtful of what I'm living for But if I make you happy I don't need to do more 'Cause you made me feel, you made me feel Well you made me feel like a natural man |

If you're traveling in the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline Remember me to the one who lives there She was once a true love of mine And if you're goin' when the snowflakes storm When the rivers freeze and summer ends Please see for me she has a coat so warm To keep her from the howling wind Would you see for me that her hair's hanging long That it rolls and flows all down her breasts See for me that her hair's hanging long 'Cause that's the way I remember her best But I'm a-wondering if she remembers me at all Many times I've often prayed In the darkness of my night In the brightness of my day So if you're traveling in the north country fair Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline Remember me to the one who lives there 'Cause she was once, she was once a true love of mine And she'll always be a true love of mine And I never, never, never, never give her up |

In a couple of hours I'll be drivin' home to the one I love
So save your breath sweet painted lady it won't be me Over the mountain and under the sea They'll never be another one like mine for me It was only an hour or so ago that I sang my song Persuaded painted ladies that I could say I'd been free Over the mountain and under the sea They'll never be another one like mine for me Mine is always, mine is grand Don't you know that the woman that love me she understands And can't you see that it's mine for me And in a couple of hours I'll be driving home to the one I love So save your breath sweet painted lady it won't be me Over the mountain and under the sea They'll never be another one like mine for me You're for me Mine is always, mine is grand Don't you know that the woman that love me she understands And can't you see that it's mine for me They'll never be another one like mine for me They'll never be another one like mine for me They'll never be another one like you for me |

Ever seen a blind man cross the road
trying to make the other side Ever seen a young girl growing old trying to make herself a bride So what becomes of you my love When they have finally stripped you of The handbags and the gladrags That your Grandad had to sweat so you could buy Baby Once I was a young man and all I thought I had to do was smile You are still a young girl and you bought everything in style Listen But once you think you're in you're out 'cause you don't mean a single thing without the handbags and the gladrags that your Grandad had to sweat so you could buy Sing a song of six-pence for your sake And take a bottle full of rye Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake And bake them all in a pie They told me you missed school today So what I suggest you just throw them all away the handbags and the gladrags that your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy They told me you missed school today So I suggest you just throw them all away the handbags and the gladrags that your poor old Granddad had to sweat to buy ya |

Soon the pines will be falling everywhere
Village children always fighting for fair share And the six-o-nine goes roarin' down the creek As Parson Lee prepares his service for next week I saw grandma yesterday down at the store Well she's really lookin' fine for eighty-four And she asked me if some time I'd fix the barn Poor old girl, she needs a man down on the farm: And it's good old country comforts in my bones Just the sweetest sound my ears have ever known Just an old fashioned feeling in my bones Country comforts and the road that's going home Down at the mill they've got a new machine Foreman says it cuts manpower by fifteen "Oh, but that ain't natural" old man Grayson says 'cause he's a horse-drawn man until his dying days ( |

If today was not an endless highway If tonight was not a crooked trail If tomorrow wasn't such a long time then lonesome would mean nothing to you at all Ah but only if my own true love is waitin' Yes and if I could hear her heart a softly poundin' only |
