Restless Heart

So you thought without her it would be easy to live
She wanted more than you were willing to give
Ah, give and take and blame are all part of the flame
That burns for the one you want to be with

You know a fire is hard to get started
And even harder to make a good one last
You'd better believe it's so, you're gonna wind up out in the cold
When it all goes up in smoke and ashes

You better pour a little more coal on the fire
Send the voice she knows and loves whistlin' down the wire
If it's love and it's true
Oh there ain't no doubt what you gotta do
Pour a little more coal on the fire
You better pour a little more coal on the fire

There ain't nothing as lonely as a loser
Who refuses to fold a losin' hand
You'd better believe it's true, 'cause it's a'happenin' to you
You're gonna become a forgotten man

You better pour a little more coal on the fire
Send the voice she knows and loves whistlin' down the wire
If it's love and it's true
Oh there ain't no doubt what you gotta do
Pour a little more coal on the fire

I said, "If it's love and it's real"
Then call her up and tell her just how you feel
Pour a little more coal on the fire
Just a little more love
Just a little more coal
On the fire, on the fire

A little more coal on the fire
You better pour a little more coal on the fire
C'mon you better pour a little more coal on the fire
She knows and loves whistlin' down the wire
A little more coal on the fire
On the fire, on the fire

As you walk away
As we say goodbye
What I wouldn't give
For a tender lie

Say you'll never stop lovin' me
Just as if it were true
How much more damage now, honestly
Could one tender lie do?

When we fall so far
Are we wrong to try
To fight off the truth
With a tender lie

Say you're gonna come back to me
And I'll believe that it's true
How much more damage now, honestly
Could one tender lie do?

When we loved before
Do you still deny
Keeping out the truth
With a tender lie?

Say you'll never stop lovin' me
Just as if it were true
How much more damage now, honestly
Could one tender lie do?

How much more damage now, honestly
Could one tender lie do?

As far as I can tell
We're near the end
I know the feeling well
So don't pretend

Another night alone
You're in my dreams
Say it isn't so
And never leave

Oh why did I have to let you go
I'll try to tell myself
In time I'll fall in love with someone else

This heart of mine, I know it well
It won't stay broken forever
In time I'll pull myself together
I'll be alright as far as I can tell

As far as I can see
There's no where left to turn
We're never gonna be the way we were

Oh why did I let you lead me on
You lied, you broke my heart
You left me standing out here in the dark

This heart of mine, I know it well
It won't stay broken forever
I don't need your arms to run to
I can learn to live without you

These eyes of mine, they finally see
You never really cared for me
I'll pull myself together
I'll be alright as far as I can tell

The saddest part of love is when you watch it walk away
There's nothing you can do
Just try to hold on and be strong
Someone else will surely come along

This heart of mine, I know it well
It won't stay broken forever

One day soon I'll feel much better
Nothing ever lasts forever
In time I'll pull myself together
I'll be alright as far as I can tell

As far as I can tell
We're near the end
I know the feeling well
So don't pretend

Another night alone
You're in my dreams
Say it isn't so
And never leave

Oh why did I have to let you go
I'll try to tell myself
In time I'll fall in love with someone else

This heart of mine, I know it well
It won't stay broken forever
In time I'll pull myself together
I'll be alright as far as I can tell

As far as I can see
There's no where left to turn
We're never gonna be the way we were

Oh why did I let you lead me on
You lied, you broke my heart
You left me standing out here in the dark

This heart of mine, I know it well
It won't stay broken forever
I don't need your arms to run to
I can learn to live without you

One day soon I'll feel much better
Nothing ever lasts forever
In time I'll pull myself together
I'll be alright as far as I can tell

(Chorus)
Big dreams in a small town
Eighteen and glory bound
Nothing here to tie us down
Big dreams in a small town

Rollin' down a dusty road
In my daddy's Ford
I wish that I
Could feel that way again

I remember those summer nights
On the brink of love
You and I made
More than plans back then

(Repeat chorus)

Big dreams in a small town
Eighteen and glory bound
Nothing here to tie us down
Big dreams in a small town

We were gonna try to set the world on fire
We were gonna make it all come true
We used to say that we couldn't wait to leave this town
That was something we were born to do

(Repeat chorus)

Oh, ain't it funny how it always seems
That time has a way of changin' all your dreams

Big dreams in a small town
Guess it's time to settle down
Don't ya like the way it sounds
you and me in a small town

Big dreams in a small town
Big dreams in a small town

Big iron horses road across five yards bridge
And me and my grandpa we watched from the ridge
He knew all the trains, he'd call out each one
Where they're goin' too, where they're comin' from

He'd say that one's from Memphis, bound for Moline
An old '97, she's from New Orleans
From New York to Denver, they'd roll through this town
Now those days are gone
But I still hear the sound of

(CHORUS)
Big Iron Horses
Steel turning round
The sparks and the thunder
As the wheels shook the ground
The boxcars and the flatbeds
And the whistles blowin' steam
That was yesterday, now those big trains don't come anymore

Now the years passed so quickly
And the world had moved on
And change cast her shadow as they left one by one
When the last train left Avon, no one was there
Guess they didn't know, guess they didn't care

Now the station is empty and the train yard lies still
And grandpa is gone now to St. Agnes hill
Now I stand on the fire watch and as I close my eyes
I see a little boy, and he's waving goodbye to the

Big Iron Horses
Steel turning round
The sparks and the thunder
As the wheels shook the ground
The boxcars and flatbeds
And the whistles blowin' steam
That was long ago, now they live on in my dreams

Big Iron Horses
Steel turning round

As the wheels shook the ground
The boxcars and the flatbeds
And the whistles blowin' steam
That was yesterday, now those big trains don't come anymore

He was almost handsome in a flattering light
She's a fading beauty alone in the night
She tries to catch his eye, and get his attention

He looks at her, and she turns away
They know their parts by heart in this play
Though they've never met, they've got matching obsessions

Before the evening's out, they'll be too close to mention

(CHORUS)
Love, love, love
Blame it on love
Love, love, love blame it on love
Blame it on love

I drive by her house in the middle of the night
She's burning her bedroom light
Is she alone, or keeping company

I might as well drive by one more time
She's already driven me out of my mind
Now this old boy is loosing his sanity

I never thought that this could happen to me

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(BRIDGE)
What kind of will do
That makes us do these things we do

Broke down in a one horse town
Tryin' to get the money up to get a ride
I spent four days and a week's pay
Tryin' to figure out how to get away and leave it behind
Before I loose my mind

You know I can't wait to hit the interstate
Put the peddle down and open up the gate

I was born in a high high wind
I've been blowin' around ever since

I had good job punchin' the clock
Making fourteen and a quarter in the union shop
I liked the pay, but I couldn't stay
I heard that highway callin' and I had to get away
Ain't no roots On these cowboy boots

One night I took a ride
And watched the city limits fading out of sight

I was born in a high high wind
I've been blowin' around ever since

I travel light, rollin' through the night
Got my top down, got my engine right

I was born in a high high wind
I've been blowin' around ever since

Don't Ask The Reason Why
by Restless Heart

Alone, on your own
No way to see the end
But here's where the road begins
In time, I know you'll find
Whatever you're searching for
All of your dreams and more

But right now you're feeling
Lost and lonely
Crazy to even try
Just listen to what
You're heart keeps saying
And don't ask the reason why

You've known, all along
It won't be an easy climb
But nothing can change your mind

And now, here you stand
Your destiny's calling you
You know what you've got to do.....

Don't you know I believe in you
I'll be there when your dreams come true
And wherever you go you'll always know
My love is by your side

And whenever you're feeling
Lost and lonely, crazy to even try
Just listen to what your heart keeps saying
And don't ask the reasons why
Remember my love is there beside you
You've got to believe it's true
Just listen to what your heart keeps saying
And don't ask the reasons why...

Don't ask the reasons why.

Got tired of living in that one horse town
I went to the station to flag that Hummingbird down
I didn't even call to say goodbye
I couldn't stand to see that little girl cry

Now I'm off to the city, gone and make my name
Those lights are calling me to fortune and fame
I had to ride that Hummingbird
I had to ride that Hummingbird

I'm gonna make it now just any day
I've got this guitar and I came to play
Lying here lonely knowing what I've lost
My heart keeps asking, "Was it worth the cost?"

Now ain't it funny how it always seems
Once you're standing there the grass seems so green
Why did I ride that Hummingbird
I had to ride that Hummingbird

Oh, today she called me on the telephone
She said, "Hey country boy, you've been gone too long"
And now I'm standing at the station, looking down the line
Here comes that Hummingbird, she's right on time, that's right

I'm gonna ride that Hummingbird
Just let me ride that Hummingbird
We're gonna ride
Just let me ride that Hummingbird

Changing my life with your love has been so easy for you
And I'm amazed every day and I'll need you
Till all the mountains are valleys
And every ocean is dry, my love

[Chorus]
I'll be yours until the sun doesn't shine
Till time stands still, until the winds don't blow
When today is just a memory to me, I know
I'll still be lovin', I'll still be lovin' you

I'll still be lovin' you

Never before did I know how loving someone could be
Now I can see you and me for a lifetime
Until the last moon is rising
You'll see the love in my eyes, my love

[Chorus]

I'll still be lovin'
I'll still be lovin'
I'll still be lovin' you
I'll still be lovin'
I'll still be lovin'
I'll still be lovin' you

Changing my life with your love has been so easy for you
And I'm amazed every day and I'll need you
Till all the mountains are valleys
And every ocean is dry, my love

[Chorus]
I'll be yours until the sun doesn't shine
Till time stands still, until the winds don't blow
When today is just a memory to me, I know

I'll still be lovin' you

Never before did I know how loving someone could be
Now I can see you and me for a lifetime
Until the last moon is rising
You'll see the love in my eyes, my love

I'll still be lovin'
I'll still be lovin'
I'll still be lovin' you
I'll still be lovin'
I'll still be lovin'
I'll still be lovin' you

Such a sad story
Broken down and lonely
Broken down to my last dime

No one I could turn to
No where left to run to
I was almost out of time

You were the only one that ever caught my eye
You reached out and took my hand and suddenly I came alive

(CHORUS)
Oh girl you found me just in time
And I still can't believe you're mine
Don't care that I'm a bit delirious
I swear I'm gonna be just fine
You saved me at the stroke of midnight
Girl you found me just in time

It's only fare to warn you
I'm so crazy for you
Think I'm gonna loose control

'Cause every time you're with me
Something in me breaks free
Makes me want to rock and roll

Don't you know I will never ever let you get away
Now that we are together I intend to find a way to make you stay

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(BRIDGE)
Imagine a world where there is never any pain
That's what you are for me
You give me what I'm looking for
You're all I want and so much more

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Who care if I'm a bit deciduous
I know we're gonna be just fine
You saved me at the stroke of midnight
Girl you found me just in time

Oh girl you found me just in time

Broken down to my last dime

No one I could turn to
No where left to run to

Lover's moon a forgotten road
Two lonely strangers a thousand miles from home
Two hearts just trying to find their way

Like skipping stones in a desperate flight
We caught the wind and sailed across that great divide
Thrown to the night we let passion guide our way
And I can still hear them say

(CHORUS)
Meet me on the other side
Let's not forget what we shared tonight
That lonely river's running deep and wide
Say you'll meet me on the other side

Her restless soul took her off somewhere
Night after night I think I see her face out there
A glimpse at love, through a haunted memory

Ship of dreams come and ease my mind
Make me believe I never left that girl behind
Gypsy wind, take a message back for me
Let her hear what I say

Meet me on the other side
Please don't forget what we shared that night
This lonely river's running deep and wide
Say you'll meet me on the other side
Say you'll meet me on the other side

(BRIDGE)
A raging storm out on an empty sea
A temptress born, on one night of ecstasy
Now she's gone and I'm a lonely castaway
Lonely castaway

Meet me on the other side
Please don't forget what we shared that night
This lonely river's running deep and wide
Say you'll meet me on the other side
Say you'll meet me on the other side

Meet me on the other side...

Lover's moon a forgotten road

You haven't said a single word to me this morning
Still upset about the fight we had last night
Well life's to short for silence in the hallway
Darling won't you look me in the eye

Time has come for mending fences
A little love, will fix things up
I know you care let's stop pretending
We've been cold long enough
So heart to heart
Why don't we start mending fences

All those hurtful things we said don't matter now
So how about a hug let's start forgivin'
There's just one way to work this out

We may not always see things eye to eye
So come a little closer and let's compromise

Waking up with my head in a cloud watching the morning come
Another day of the week in a month, in a year, in a life that's come undone
I might as well quit trying to get you off my mind
I might as well quit hoping that this heart will heal in time

'Cause I can't burn a bridge that I'm still crossing
And I can't lose a past that I'm still lost in
I can tell myself it's over and I need a brand new start
But there's no such thing as mind over matters of the heart

Everyday there's another attempt to convince myself you're gone
Every night there's a promise I make that tomorrow I'll move on
But there's a voice inside me that calls your name out loud
A part of me still hopes to see your face in every crowd

'Cause I can't burn a bridge that I'm still crossing
And I can't lose a past that I'm still lost in
I can tell myself it's over and I need a brand new start
But there's no such thing as mind over matters of the heart

I can tell myself it's over and I need a brand new start
But there's no such thing as mind over matters of the heart

Sometimes a woman and a man make plans,
And then change in the middle of the stream.
Why does the flame die, where does the blame lie?
And what becomes of their dreams?
Will I be starting on my own again brand new?
Or will I be rebuilding what I once had with you?

[Chorus]
Say you don't need me and I'll be gone.
Say that you want me and I'll come on home.
I can take anything but standing in the dark.
Don't hold nothing back, please say what's in your heart.

We always said we'd tell each other everything,
That we were feeling deep inside.
Now when I see your eyes, no matter how you try,
You're feeling something you can't hide.
Everyone knows one way that love's supposed to b,
But in the real world there ain't no guarantee.

[Chorus]

I'll still love you no matter what you say,
I'll stand beside you, but I won't stand in your way. Baby

[Chorus]

She had her reasons and I really couldn't blame her
But I'd grown accustomed to having her near
Just when I thought I couldn't wait any longer
She called to tell me what I wanted to hear

(She said she's coming home)
Seems like it's been forever
(She's had her time alone)
We'll finally be together
(She said she's coming home)
I guess she's tired of making it on her own
She said she's coming home

I know she told me that it wouldn't be forever
She'd be back but she couldn't say when
Now the time has finally come and it's no secret
I can't wait to start all over again

(She said she's coming home)
Seems like it's been forever
(She's had her time alone)
We'll finally be together
(She said she's coming home)
I guess she's tired of making it on her own
She said she's coming home

She's coming home
She said she's coming home

(She said she's coming home)
And that could mean forever
(She's had her time alone)
We'll finally be together
(She said she's coming home)
I know she's tired of making it on her own

(She said she's coming home)
That could mean forever
(She's had her time alone)
We'll gonna be together
(She said she's coming home)
Oh, she's tired of making it on her own
She said she's coming home

(She's coming home, she's coming home)
She's coming home
(She's coming home)
She's coming home
(She's coming home)

All of the night you hold out for love.
You give what you have, still that's not enough.
What went wrong?
'Cos now what we share, are too many fears,
Too many secrets, too many years,
Tonight.

Tell me what you dream, at night, while you're sleepin'.
Tell me what you see, at night, in your dreams.
Is it someone else's arms that hold you tight,
Or darlin' is it me?
Tell me what you dream, at night, while you sleep.

Deep in the night you whisper so low.
I lay by your side, I felt so alone,
Alone.
I reached for your arms, you called out a name.
It wasn't my own. It caused me so much pain,
Inside.

Tell me what you dream, at night, while you're sleepin'.
Tell me what you see, at night, in your dreams.
Is it someone else's arms that hold you tight,
Or darlin' is it me?
Tell me what you dream, at night, while you sleep.

Instrumental Break.

Tell me what you dream, at night, while you're sleepin'.

Dream, at night,
Oh, baby, dream, at night,while you're sleepin'.

Instrumental fade out.

> Every little move she makes,
Is gonna catch somebody's eye.
You ought to see all the double-takes,
When she goes walkin' by.
But she's so distant.
She seems so cold.
Everybody says that rock won't roll.
They say the girl's got a heart of stone.
That rock won't roll,
Oh, but she's too pretty to be alone.
I've got all this love inside me,
And I've just got to see,
If that rock won't roll.
I'll give her everything I've got,
I'm gonna change her point of view.
I'll keep tryin' and I won't stop,
Until the love in her eyes shines through.
When I show her,
This heart of gold.
Then we'll see if that rock won't roll,
They say the girl's got a heart of stone.

To Fade.
If that rock won't roll.
That rock won't roll.
I just can't believe that rock won't roll.

That lonesome Texas sun was setting slow
And in the rearview mirror, I watched it go
I can still see the wind in her golden hair
I close my eyes for a moment, I'm still there

The bluest eyes in Texas
Are haunting me tonight
Like the stars that fill the midnight sky
Her memory fills my mind

Where did I go wrong?
Did I wait too long? Or can I make it right?
The bluest eyes in Texas
Are haunting me tonight

Another town, another hotel room
Another dream that ended way too soon
Left me lonely prayin' before the dawn
Searching for the strength to carry on

The bluest eyes in Texas
Are haunting me tonight
Like the stars that fill the midnight sky
Her memory fills my mind

Where did I go wrong?
Did I wait too long? Or can I make it right?
The bluest eyes in Texas
Are haunting me tonight

For every heart you break, you pay a price
But I can't forget the tears in her blue eyes

The bluest eyes in Texas
Are haunting me tonight
Like the stars that fill the midnight sky
Her memory fills my mind

Where did I go wrong?
Did I wait too long? How can I make it right?
The bluest eyes in Texas
Are haunting me tonight

The bluest eyes in Texas
Are haunting me tonight

When the good Lord was handing out
The best things from above
We got the love
We got the love

I know we don't have a lot of money
We can barely keep the bills paid honey
But when we're in each other's arms
Who needs all that stuff
We got the love
We got the love

Don't need the finer things
Fancy cars or no diamond rings
I wanna roll down a simple road
Rock with you when we get old

Sometimes life's a desperate situation
Sometimes it's just grim determination
But I know we'll do what it takes
To make us tough enough

We got the love
We got the love

We got the love
We got the love

Don't need the finer things
Fancy cars or no diamond rings
I wanna roll down a simple road
Rock with you when we get old

Built this house of bricks and stone together
Trying to make it strong to last forever
But if these walls come tumblin' down
We still ain't givin' up

We got the love
We got the love

We got the love
We got the love

Roll down a simple road
Rock with you till we get old.....

Friday night, the DQ's packed
We're lookin' good, got the top laid back
Me and my buddies, Tommy and Jack
Stones blarin' in the old eight Track
Checkin' out the girls at the stoplight
We played it cool and never made our move 'til the time was right

We owned this town
(Every night) Every night when the sun went down
Livin' a dream, standing our ground
We made our moves
We were nobody's fool
We owned this town

We had an obligation
The word was out around town
We had a reputation
That we could never live down
The world was ours for the takin'
Sometimes I wish that I could turn back time
And do it all again

'Cause we owned this town
(Every night) Every night when the sun went down
Livin' a dream, standing our ground
We made our moves
We were nobody's fool
We owned this town
Yea, we owned this town

The world was ours for the takin'
Ohh, sometimes I wish that I could turn back time
And do it all again
'Cause we owned this town

(Every night) Every night when the sun went down
Livin' a dream, standing our ground
We made our moves
We were nobody's fool
We owned this town
That's right
We owned this town

Some people are born to live alone
And go about life that way,
Their home is a long stretch
Of blacktop and everyday,
Is just another day,
They like movin' and stayin' on the run
And tryin' to make the world stand still
White lines and city limit signs
And life is like an automobile
Rollin' down the highway what a fine time
That's the only way to feel

[[Chorus]
Wheels,
Stay under me,
Stay under me
Wheels,
Stay under me,
Stay under me

It's a freedom that we all want to know
And it's another sensual summer
To keep the world in your rear view mirror
While you try to run down the sun
It's a knowin' when you're
Gettin' where you're goin'
You never bear against your wheels
White lines and city limit signs
And life is like an automobile
Rollin' down the highway what a fine time
That's the only way to feel

[Chorus]
Wheels
Stay under me,
Stay under me
Wheels
Stay under me,
Stay under me
Wheels
I love to feel you turn
I love to feel you under me,

Wheels turn around
Round round like Geronimo

It's a code for livin' on the road
Try to make the world stand still
Rollin' down the highway
Rollin' down the highway
Oh

[Chorus]
Wheels
Stay under me,
Stay under me
Wheels
Stay under me,
Stay under me
Wheels
I love to feel you turn
I love to feel you under me
Wheels
Stay under me,
Stay under me

Some people are born to live alone
And go about life that way,
Their home is a long stretch
Of blacktop and everyday,
Is just another day,
They like movin' and stayin' on the run
And tryin' to make the world stand still
White lines and city limit signs
And life is like an automobile
Rollin' down the highway what a fine time
That's the only way to feel

Stay under me,
Stay under me

Stay under me,
Stay under me

You never bear against your wheels
White lines and city limit signs
And life is like an automobile
Rollin' down the highway what a fine time
That's the only way to feel

Stay under me,
Stay under me
Wheels
Stay under me,
Stay under me
Wheels
I love to feel you turn
I love to feel you under me,

Round round like Geronimo

It's a code for livin' on the road
Try to make the world stand still
Rollin' down the highway
Rollin' down the highway
Oh

Stay under me,
Stay under me

Stay under me,
Stay under me
Wheels
I love to feel you turn
I love to feel you under me

Stay under me,
Stay under me

The road I have traveled on,
Is paved with good intentions.
It's littered with broken dreams,
That never quite came true.
When all of my hopes were dying,
Her love kept me trying.
She does her best to hide,
The pain that she's been through.

When she cries, at night,
And she doesn't think that I can hear her.
She tries, to hide,
All the fear she feels inside.
So I pray, this time,
I can be the man that she deserves.
'Cos I die a little each time,
When she cries.

She's always been there for me,
Whenever I've fallen.
When nobody else believes,
She'll be there by my side.
I don't know how she takes it,
Just once, I'd like to make it,
Then there'll be tears of joy,
That fill her lovin' eyes.

When she cries, at night,
And she doesn't think that I can hear her.
She tries, to hide,
All the fear she feels inside.
So I pray, this time,
I can be the man that she deserves.
'Cos I die a little each time,
When she cries.

*When she cries at night
And she doesn't think that I can hear her

'Cause I die a little each time

*Repeat

So I pray this time

It's no secret
Somebody waits at home for you
And I know how hard this is
For you to do
So if you really believe
This love is so wrong
We don't have to carry on
But, still, I wonder

[Chorus]
Why does it have to be wrong or right?
Why does it have to be one way or the other?
Won't somebody please please tell me
Why does it have to be black or white?
Why do we have to hurt one to love another?
Oh, tell me why, why does it have to be?

You can't say that
You didn't know where this might lead
And I know I couldn't have been
That hard to read
But we both know this is not
Where you belong
There's no need to carry on
Oh, but I can't help but wonder...

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Oh
Why does it have to be wrong or right?
Why does it have to be one way or the other?
(Won't somebody please)
Won't somebody please please tell me
Why does it have to be black or white?
Why do we have hurt one to love another?
(Oh, tell me, oh, tell me)
Oh, tell me, why?
Oh, tell me...

[Chorus]

Just as long as that old river flows
The sun comes up and that north wind blows
Just as sure as these are guaranteed
Honey, you can depend on me

This day and time, lovers come and go
When it seems, there's no one left to hold
For so many, when the morning comes around
But girl, you can bet, this ol? boy can't be found

Just as long as that old river flows
The sun comes up and that north wind blows
Just as sure as these are guaranteed
Honey, you can depend on me

Together, never to part
Forever, you can bet your heart

Just as long as that old river flows
The sun comes up and that north wind blows
Just as sure as these are guaranteed
Honey, you can depend on me

Oh, together, never to part
Forever, you can bet your heart

Just as long as that old river flows
The sun comes up and that north wind blows
Just as sure as these are guaranteed
Honey, you can depend on me

Together and forever in sweet harmony
You can depend on me

Just as long as that old river flows
The sun comes up and that north wind blows
Just as sure as these are guaranteed
Honey, you can depend on me

This day and time, lovers come and go
When it seems, there's no one left to hold
For so many, when the morning comes around
But girl, you can bet, this ol? boy can't be found

Just as long as that old river flows
The sun comes up and that north wind blows
Just as sure as these are guaranteed
Honey, you can depend on me

Together, never to part
Forever, you can bet your heart

Just as long as that old river flows
The sun comes up and that north wind blows
Just as sure as these are guaranteed
Honey, you can depend on me

Oh, together, never to part
Forever, you can bet your heart

Just as long as that old river flows
The sun comes up and that north wind blows
Just as sure as these are guaranteed
Honey, you can depend on me

Together and forever in sweet harmony
You can depend on me
