from Ron Sexsmith - All In Good Time (2006)
It all seems so obvious now
When I look back over my life There were times that I really felt down To think it passed me by But in these hours of serious doubt Through the coal black lonely night Something told me, It'll work out Something deep inside Was comforting me All in good time All in good time It said "All in good time" The bad times will be gone Hold your horses, a willow tree cried While the sun called to me, Where's the fire? Run your course my feverish child, Came a voice from even higher Inspiring me All in good time All in good time It said All in good time We rise and fall We try and fail And people may judge us But angels know us darling All in good time It all seems so obvious now When I look back over my life There's a need for sorrow and doubt For darkness and for light It's how it must be All in good time All in good time It said All in good time? All in good time The bad time will be gone |

The sun has gone
It arose but never shone And now the day is done Before it'd ever begun It was such a pleasant dream Till someone pulled the plug T'was a rude awakening Guess, it's time we all woke up And admit that something's very wrong The sun has gone It arose but never shone And now the day is done Before it'd ever begun Now I guess we'll never know Of the load you had to bear When you walked that lonesome road Did it lead you to despair? I just hope you've found some comfort there The sun has gone It arose but never shone And now the day is done Before it'd ever begun I just hope you've found some comfort there The sun has gone It arose but never shone And now the day is done Before it'd ever begun The sun has gone It arose but never shone And now the day is done Before it'd ever begun |

It's really coming down
Raining cats and hounds It's falling on parades And on the plans we made But there'll be other days And things will turn our way The rain has got to fall It's April after all Even the longest night Will lead you to daylight It's the way May leads to June And it's how I've come to you The world goes spinning round Life goes up and down And rain is bound to fall It's April after all They'll be other days Darling come what may The rain has got to fall It's April after all Tears are bound to fall It's April after all |

In the midst of all this welcome change
I can hardly wait Oh, to welcome all that was estranged To my life again I thought I was on my own At different times Just a voice on a cold pay phone At different times Now I'm taken by these thoughts of how We found you and I In the midst of it all, in a northern town Between the earth and sky These thoughts of you come around At different times We watch as the sun goes down At different times At different times I've been tempted by these open doors You turned and I was gone Now I pray that I was spoken for In my absence, in my song I thought I was on my own At different times Like a stranger in my own home At different times At different times |

Tour bus rolling down Broadway
Says "nobody you would know" In all the store front windows I see my face And the lame expression of this average Joe Lord, a fool and his money parted ways To a con artist at the bus depot Oh now who would've thought such an honest face Would make a monkey of this average Joe I'm a walking disaster I'm an accident waiting to happen I can't walk any faster, no If I could I'd be tap dancing, yeah Oh I see the porch light of my home Where my love lies waiting for me No we don't have much but this I know You've made a king out of this average Joe |

If I had all this time on my hands
Well I would love to share it with you And though our days have made other plans But there is nothing I'd rather do Than sit and talk with you My beautiful view The squinting of her eyes when she smiles The glinting of sun in her hair She wets her lips and takes a sip of Her tea as I try not to stare And though I try not to It's such beautiful view Oh my heart What's all the commotion about? For so long I guess you've been going without With all these numbers staring me down And all this stormy weather so gray So many grim reminders Of how much I have lost along the way But you remind me, it's true Of a beautiful view Well there is nothing I'd rather do Than sit and talk with you My beautiful view All I wanna do Is take a walk, girl, with you My beautiful view |

As I try to be the man for her
Far across the sea and land for her The deep within my blood is sand Until I drink what makes me mad for her, oh She's my Brandy Alexander Always gets me into trouble But that's another matter My Brandy Alexander But do I thirst for all the worst again? Is it my addiction to this curse within? Silently I must confess this sin Tastes better after juice and gin, oh She's my Brandy Alexander Always gets me into trouble But that's another matter Oh, that's another matter She's my Brandy Alexander Always gets me into trouble But that's another matter, oh And deep within my blood is sand Until I drink what makes me mad for her, oh yeah She's my Brandy Alexander Always gets me into trouble But that's another matter Oh, that's another matter She's my Brandy Alexander Always gets me into trouble But that's another matter Oh, that's another matter She's my Brandy Alexander, oh yeah That's another matter It goes down easy, it goes down easy It goes down easy, it goes down easy It goes down easy, it goes down easy |

Well the sun came shining
Through my cell A book lies open upon my shelf But I'm afraid I've lost the thread Can't seem to raise myself from bed today This whirlwind prisoner I've locked away Is blowing crazy around his cage If I surrender to his cries Would you pretend you don't recognize me? From way back when I'm the same boy that you knew then I just want to be chased by love Embraced by love Just like you Just like you I feel these chains of freedom Chains of trust Chains of mystery surrounding us But I know you and you know me You're not mistaken I'm the one you think you see From way back when I'm the same boy that you knew then I just want to be chased by love Embraced by love Just like you Just like you |

You've reached the end of the road They only wanted you When you were good as gold Child star, child star You've had a pretty long run Go back to the real world While you're still young Did you think this love would last Did you think this love was true It came and went so fast They loved somebody but it wasn't you Child star, child star This is where we get off Stay on and ride awhile Till the road gets rough They loved somebody but it wasn't you Child star, child star Live and learn and move on Go back to the real world While you're still young |

Standing on the side of the road near the overpass
With a sign around his neck that says "Car wash, free balloons", he's a clown in broad daylight He's waving at the people in cars who do a double-take And goad him on with their horns outside the car wash Ike a cartoon, he's a clown in broad daylight Raising eyebrows and emotions He don't phase some people at all For everyday the circus is open Everything is alright It's just a clown in broad daylight Everything is alright For against the backdrop of ordinary life it's the easy laugh That gets you through your working day and the hogwash Sad but true, he's a clown in broad daylight Yeah he's waving at you He's a clown, a clown in broad daylight |

Some say you've got to lose to win
Any moment now our luck will stumble in And claim us at the lost and found and help us all Get our feet back on the ground Disappearing act, I want my money back Disappearing act, I wish life had warned us long ago We're only one half of a disappearing act Who pulled the rug out under us? Maybe all the time in the world ain't quite enough One day you're saying, "Look ma, no hands" Then it's, "Help me ma, I just don't understand" Disappearing act, I want my childhood back Disappearing act, I wish life had warned us long ago We're on the wrong half of a disappearing act Of a disappearing act Oh and when you hear the saints go marching in As you're walking down your street again No magic wand can make it stop And as your house of cards comes crashing down So loud it makes you turn around Look longer, think harder now Some say you've got to lose to win Any moment now, our luck will stumble in And claim us at the lost and found And help us all get our feet back on the ground Disappearing act, I want my money back Disappearing act, I wish life had warned us long ago We're on the wrong half of a disappearing act Of a disappearing act, of a disappearing act Oh, of a disappearing act |

Can't believe our luck sometimes
Anyway things will fall apart And somedays it seems as though We were doomed from the start But I can't believe that fate Would have such a cruel heart Though somedays it seems I know We were doomed from the start When all the world's asleep And the night is quiet and still Your love returns to me As if sent from above to my window sill So, we'll take the good times then We'll take on its counterpart If this love was meant to be Not doomed from the start Your love returns to me As if sent from above to my window sill So, we'll take the good times then We'll take on its counterpart If this love was meant to be Not doomed from the start If this love was meant to be Not doomed from the start |

Used to work as a messenger
Spent my days riding elevators In the heart of the business world Till one day there came a sign In the form of a Dragonfly on Bay Street Buzzing round from tower to tower At the twilight of the working hour Had he taken a wrong turn? Was he lost without a trace? Just like us Dragonfly on Bay Street In the crowd without a face Dragonfly on Bay Street No fields for miles around As through the underground I go What was it telling me? It's better to be free or maybe nothing at all Now I work in another field Spend my time keeping my eyes peeled For a sign that'll lead me home 'Cause Lord, I feel so out of place Just like that Dragonfly on Bay Street I'm lost without a trace Dragonfly on Bay Street In the crowd without a face Dragonfly on Bay Street It's all or nothing at all I'm lost without a trace Dragonfly on Bay Street In the crowd without a face Dragonfly on Bay Street I'm lost without a trace Dragonfly on Bay Street In the crowd without a face Dragonfly on Bay Street |

And up above me its the same old sky
Be it blue or be it grey And more do I wonder What goes on behind Every passing day The voice of reason is seldom heard But fear and ignorance have their say I need more than ever To hear a kind word With every passing day Every passing day But the more I see The more I feel The more I need To know for sure what is real Every passing day And the more I see The more I feel The more I need To know for sure what is real What is real? And from the pavement flowers grow From the shadows children play I'm feeling stronger In my heart I know With every passing day, Every passing day ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By SEXSMITH <i>Lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC</i> |

How I hate to see you this way I feel for you, Love
Is there nothing, I can say to cheer you up? For I see your face is filled with so much sorrow Wish I could make it disappear Before this night is through with us I feel for you, Love I feel for you, Love How I've tried to see the good side I feel for you, Love You see all the years going by and you can't get off But it's not that way, time is all we're taking For our own sake just let it go Before it makes a fool of us Before its too late in the game to change anything Is it too late in the game to change anything? How I hate to see you this way I feel for you, Love Is there nothing, I can say to cheer you up? For I see your face is filled with so much sorrow Wish I could make it disappear Before this night is through with us I feel for you, Love Is it too late in the game to change anything? Is it too late in the game to change anything? Is it too late in the game to change anything? Is it too late in the game to change anything? |

I could've swore I knew where I was going For a moment there I was in my room following the music Never knowing if it was going anywhere I could hear it in the sky above In the streets below me I could hear it in the songs of love Just enough to show me There was a light somewhere, somewhere For a moment there The sun was in my eyes and I was blinded For a moment there But now I look again and when it seems Like all is lost I find it or it finds me anyway I can see it in the sun above In the grass below me I see it in the ones I love Just enough to show me There is a light somewhere For a moment there I could see it in the ones I love Just enough to show me There is a light somewhere |

I woke up on Galbraith Street
Where the houses stood like twins Oh, and even though the door's been closed I can find a way to get back in For in daydreams my mind returns Like a ghost upon the hill As I knock upon old doors again And find my friends all live there still So many good times to speak of in a life But none compared to the good times I had there The world looks so much brighter when You believe in every word Now, I'm holding on to all those years Like a tear before it falls unheard So many goodbyes to speak of in a life But none compared to the goodbyes I said there The sun went down on Galbraith street Saw it from my childhood bed As the red and gold brick houses stood Underneath a crimson sky that bled |

With the graceful and grotesque the morning rings
Hear the garbage truck roll by Hear the birds begin to sing Their song of love and praise And may their happy sound Be strong enough to raise Our spirits off the ground Or love don't stand a ghost of a chance I'm on the trail of a storm and everywhere I look Appear the ones that life has torn Like pages from a book Left to soldier on No shoulder for to lean I'd be lost without a song But if your love wasn't there for me I just wouldn't stand a ghost of a chance From where I sit There's too many eyes crying tears Too many lives living in fear Wondering where their sweet dreams have all gone Too many hands stirring the pot In a land of haves and have-nots All wondering why it's all gone wrong Now as the ballet and burlesque commence to play Give to me the strength to act And not look the other way For there's a war outside Can't take it lying down Got to look it in the eye We've got to stand our ground Or love don't stand a ghost of a chance Love don't stand a ghost of a chance |

Like a mother loves her son No strings at all Unconditional Never one to judge Would never hold a grudge 'Bout what's been done God loves everyone There are no gates in Heaven Everyone gets in Queer or straight Souls of every faith Hell is in our minds Hell is in this life But when it's gone God takes everyone Its love is like a womb It's like the air from room to room It surrounds us all The living and the dead May we never lose the thread That bound us all Oh, the killer in his cell The atheist as well The pure of heart And the wild at heart Are all worthy of its grace It's written in the face Of everyone God loves everyone There's no need to be saved No need to be afraid 'Cause when it's done God takes everyone God loves everyone |

Of sorrow and despair With that love so vast and shattered It will reach you everywhere And I sing this for the captain Whose ship has not been built For the mother in confusion Her cradle still unfilled For the heart with no companion For the soul without a king For the prima ballerina Who cannot dance to anything Through the days of shame that are coming Through the night of wild distress Though your promise counts for nothing You must keep it nonetheless You must keep it for the captain Whose ship has not been built For the mother in confusion Her cradle still unfilled For the heart with no companion For the soul without a king For the prima ballerina Who cannot dance to anything And I greet you from the other side Of sorrow and despair With that love so vast and shattered It will reach you everywhere |

Though you don't believe your eyes
As your mind's taken by surprise But there's a reason to the rhyming of Your heart's desire Though it seems too good to last Don't write it off too fast For there's a method to the madness of Your heart's desire Yes I guess it's out of our hands Though we try to understand It's not for us to know Where the night is going Though you may say that it's not what you're looking for How can you be so sure? How can you be so sure In your heart that this isn't it? In your plans it just won't fit So you keep on second guessing it Your heart's desire Cause you don't believe your eyes As your mind's taken by surprise But there's a reason to the rhyming of Your heart's desire Your heart's desire ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By SEXSMITH <i>Lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC</i> |

Sometimes in anger we seem to forget
All the wrongs that have been done to us We've done to others and regret Pull back You'll see the picture that much clearer Anyone Anyone can make an honest mistake Anyone Anyone can make an honest mistake To err is human and all you can do Is to tell it to your wounded heart Forgiveness is human too Go back Accept each other for who we are Anyone Anyone can make an honest mistake Anyone Anyone can make an honest mistake Few can admit it when they're wrong, I know Few can forgive and then move on, I know it's hard An honest mistake Anyone Anyone can make an honest mistake Sometimes in anger we seem to forget All the wrongs that have been to us We've done to others and regret |

Hate to be the bearer of bad news
But lately even the sun seems confused then now Think we're lost, think we're lost Then sun don't shine the way it used to And the rain falls harder then it's supposed to All the world looks cold and gray, think we're lost Dark shadows keep swarming 'round us nowadays On the road home I feel surrounded in harm's way, my love Think we're lost, think we're lost And the night seems darker than it used to I fear we've gone much farther than we're supposed to Hate to be the world just say Think we're lost, think we're lost Think we're lost, think we're lost Then sun don't shine the way it used to And the rain falls harder then it's supposed to All the world just turns away And I keep worrying about it, baby I keep waiting for your love to save me Tell me that we'll find our way Think we're lost, think we're lost Now it only seems to make me sad When I think of what we had and what we've lost |

The end must come for some good reason
I've heard it said before To everything a time and season What was this season for? In a flash, in a flash There one moment and gone in a flash Think of all the strangers you've encountered In cafes or subway trains Or lined up at this water fountain One drink and on your way In a flash, in a flash There one moment and gone in a flash When hopes are rising like a rocket When cups are overflowing When hearts were filled like children's pockets It's then I'll hear your song In a flash, in a flash There one moment and gone in a flash Our eyes can't help but disbelieve this Bad news and even though The end must come for some good reason Right now I just don't know In a flash, in a flash There one moment and gone in a flash There one moment Gone in a flash |

In place of a brick wall you made a window
In place of a dark hall you painted a mural Where there was only weeds you raised a garden And if I've failed to notice I'm sorry darling If you were gone what would I do? Cause no one could ever take the place of you If you should go where would I be? In place of you, an empty space for me In place of wandering blind you put direction In place of squandering my love and affection You built a place for me, where I could store it And I'm eternally grateful for it If you were gone what would I do? Cause no one could ever take the place of you If you should go where would I be? In place of you, an empty space for me There is so much from what I've gathered To put in place of these things you think you need In place of emptiness you put fulfilment In place of bitterness you put endearment Where there was only weeds you raised a garden And if I've failed to notice I'm sorry darling If you were gone what would I do? Cause no one could ever take the place of you If you should go where would I be? In place of you, an empty space for me |

Oh it never fails, anytime I start
To speak my mind I break her heart Oh it never fails Every time I feel my faith is strong This doubt appears and steers me wrong Oh it never fails This world is not the one we used to know and love Can't help wondering if it ever was This world is not the one we used to know and love Can't help wondering if it ever was Oh it never fails, in times like these I hold you and my soul's at ease Oh it never fails Oh it never fails |

Leadbelly's in the background
Being drowned out by the grind He's singing about "Rock Island Line" Nobody seems to pay him any mind Bestsellers and bookshelves Full of self-help printed word Some faint elegance is heard Now was that Ellington or Bird? And has it really come to this? Can ignorance be bliss? I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop Jazz at the bookstore And blues in the coffee shop Jazz at the bookstore And blues in the coffee shop There's a man standing at the crossroads With a dark roast in his hand Livin' in white yuppy hand Over by the milk and sugar stand And have I really come to this Cup of caffeinated bliss? So we browse around All over town Sipping coffees that we can't pronounce And meanwhile in the blues cemetery All the coffins commence to bounce Leadbelly's in the cold ground Rolling over in his grave The hard road where so many slaved Is now so smooth and Paved And Has it really come to this? Can Ignorance be bliss? I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop Jazz at the bookstore And blues in the coffee shop Jazz at the bookstore And blues in the coffee shop |

Skies are gray
For miles around Though the sun tries Hard to break through the clouds And while the sun is trying The least that I can do Is to keep on rising and shining My light on you Another season's turning And the least that I can do Is to keep on learning and returning Till everything's brand new With all the love you've given me All the love so perfect and true To call your arms eternity Is the least that I can do With all the love you've given me While the bells are ringing The least that I can do Is to keep on singing and believing This song will see me through And while the birds are flying The least that I can do Is to keep from crying, keep on trying To raise my heart to you With all the love, you've given me All the love so perfect and true To call your arms eternity Is the least that I can do With all the love, you've given me All the love so perfect and true To call your heart infinity Is the least that I can do With all the love you've given me It's the least that I can do |

I'm going down to Lebanon, Tennessee
From where I stand It's as good a place as any I don't know anybody there and Nobody knows me There'll be a job in Lebanon, Tennessee I'll work on a farm I'll work in some factory And I'll buy myself a home down there You can get one pretty cheap Get off the bus on the border of town Head in from the East Walk into a bar, take a seat in the corner Be a man of mystery Folks don't treat you mean in Lebanon, Tennessee But like a human being They'll take you in off the street They'll bring you in their home down there And give you something to eat I'm going down to Lebanon, Tennessee |

High above it all
These words have lingered on "I won't let you fall" Though I must have heard it wrong Cos I've been lying here Seems all these broken songs Have fallen on deaf ears Oh, I must have heard it wrong It's time I got used to it We've all been left behind But I can't make the pieces fit Hard as I try Oh, when will I learn Believing for so long As if I had faith to burn Though I must have heard you wrong I can't make the pieces fir Hard as I try Behind this starry wall I turned and then walked on Thought I heard a star fall Though I must have heard it wrong Thought I heard a star fall Though I must have heard it wrong |

Of foolish dreams
I'm done with these Of childish things I've set them free Filed them away in the past Gave up on all that don't last Save for just one thing There's something that I'd never do I'd never give up on you Though they try to break us in two Never give up on you Whatever I do Come early spring I bailed on that From apron strings I freed my hands And woke from the spell that cast I kicked that habit at last Oh, but I would stick by you Wherever you lead me to Never give up on you The world may try to break us I two I'd never give up on you, darlin' Whatever they do I'd never give up on you Because I know you'd do the same for me Never give up on you Because you take me as I am How I'll always be When times are bad When things go wrong What makes you sad Will make me strong I'm keeping an eye on your tears Sweeping up all this broken mirror Our luck may not come through But that's something that I'd never do I'd never give up on you Though they try to break us in two Never give up on you, darlin' Whatever I do Never give up on you |

He sees it coming from a mile away
He knows all the rules by heart and so the game is played He's trading love for this sordid night of bliss Though nothing good, nothing good could ever come from this Nothing good, nothing good could ever come from this You've seen how people rise in times of need Forget all their pettiness, forget all their greed But he can't rise above this warm and reckless kiss Though nothing good, nothing good could ever come from this From this only sorrow From this no future, only tomorrows And when the morning comes tumbling down No trace of the night before, it's still the same old town But deep inside now hides a stranger in his midst And nothing good, nothing good could ever come from this Nothing good, nothing good could ever come from this |

You can count on many things to let you down
You can take you plans And stick 'em six feet underground Wouldn't your time be better spent on days to come? Not the ones that went And left you on a doorstep one grey morning But there's a rumour and everybody's so convinced But you don't believe Your eyes have seen no evidence Of any good left in this town Of any need to be hanging around But you'll leave the sun behind you one grey morning One grey morning One of many grey mornings Always turning up without warning One grey morning One of many dream orphans Always turning up on your doorstep You follow up on all the leads that lead nowhere Trying to recognize The need inside that led you there You'll either listen to your heart Or go drown it out in a noisy bar 'Til you're overcome by the silence one grey morning One grey morning One of many grey mornings Always turning up without warning One grey morning One of many dream orphans Always turning up on your doorstep One grey morning Like today Wouldn't your time be better spent on days to come? Not the ones that went And left you on a doorstep one grey morning One grey morning One of many dream orphans Always turning up on your doorstep One grey morning Like today |

Pretty little cemetery on a summer's day
Walking with my family, stopping on the way To read the epitaphs and wonder at the graves Pretty little cemetery on a summer's day Pretty little monument beneath a shady tree For a little boy who died in 1943 But still in the air this lingering grief Pretty little monument beneath a shady tree There's an old couple on the bus Sitting next to us, my boy and I And pointing to the graveyard My boy turns to the old man And says "this is where you go to when you die My papa told me so" The old man said "yes, we know" Pretty little cemetery, hear the bells ring When the night falls it's a very different thing Outside the gate there's a woman looking in Pretty little cemetery, hear the bells ring |

Caught in the middle
Of a daydream of you We're lost in this riddle Where they keep the answers up above There's a reason for our love There's a reason for our love Thought life held nothing Now I'm holding your hand My heart, always wondering When all at once, it understands There's a reason for our love There's a reason for our love Everybody seems so surprised Though it has been right before our eyes All the time And while we were talking Time has flown, so it seems That you were sleepwalking Through that very same dream and back to us There's a reason for our love There's a reason for our love Though the answer lies above There's a reason for our love |

Kills 'em every time The willing subject sneaks out back And leaves her space behind Life is not a parlor trick There's no slight of hand Just tryin' to save the sinking ship And there's no sight of land We are all in the same boat, darlin' On the same rough sea We are all in the same boat, darlin' The ship of fools it seems there's no good news in the news Only bad news papers As black humor stands amused At the plight of human nature Still a lot of good in the world No matter what they say And when the darkness comes unfurled There's a light that was built to stay We are all in the same boat, darlin' On the same rough sea We are all in the same boat, darlin' The ship of fools it seems Optimists and realists And cynics all agree That we are all in this Together whatever will be Oh, we are all in the same boat, darlin' On the same rough sea We are all in the same boat, darlin' The ship of fools it seems We are all in the same boat, darlin' On the same rough sea We are all in the same boat, darlin' The ship of fools it seems The ship of fools it seems |

Strange how their love bloomed in the winter
Only to vanish in the spring It never fails to make him shiver To see the outline of her wings Where she made her last snow angel Little did they know That it'd make a lasting impression Deeper than the snow In his soul, snow angel never faded And when love calls to make that promise One to be faithful and be true It's then temptation falls upon us The world turns awkward and aloof And with this betrayal An angel descended from on high Oh, but this was not a manger And as he came inside to his fright T'was no angel hanging naked Strange how each year 'round late November When the first snow is on the ground She reappears so he'll remember How a love so young can be cut down' When she made her last snow angel Little did they know That it'd make a lasting impression Deeper than the snow In his soul, snow angel never faded In his soul snow angel never faded |
