Lady

Lady don’t you know it’s a crime
To look at me like you do
You steal away my world of pretense
You steal away my confidence
O Lady don’t you know it’s a crime
To look at me like you do
You steal away my independence
And all I want is you
I’ve been so long now by myself
I’m rigid like an old stone wall
And if you come to me
I’m afraid you’ll shake me
Afraid you’ll break me
Down to the cold hard ground
And I’m afraid I’ll stay
Fallen down
Unable to rebuild the heart that’s been broken
Time and time before
In fear, I’m hoping you’ll go away
In hope, I’m wishing you’ll want to stay
In my arms, close to me
Sharing in my secrecy
Breaking down my fortress wall
Entering my city hall
Joined as one, a burning flame
Showing our love with no restrain
O Lady don’t you know it’s a crime
To look at me like you do
You steal away my independence
And all I want is you
So take me in
Ally my fears
Hold me close
And kiss my trembling tears
O Lady don’t you know it’s a crime

Surrounded by song
Lying awake in your arms
Feeling far away
With a thousand things to say
I know it’s been hard
For you to get through to me
But I know in my heart
That I long to be close to you
And for you to stay with me
**Help me learn to love you
Help me grow to understand
That I’m not alone in this world
I’m not a solitary man
Help me learn to love you
And to share my heavy load
To see that I don’t have to walk alone
When I have your precious hand to hold
Surrounded by song
Awaiting for a change
Pushing too long
Waiting for that gentle refrain
Stepping out of the dark
Finally I’m able to see
That there all along
You’ve been right next to me

Gotta Let It Go
03:24
|
|||
|
Time with you was sweet and time with you was sad
Had I known at the beginning it would all turn out so bad
I would have called it quits a long, long time ago
Instead I fell in love with you and went on with the show
I gotta let it go I gotta walk through the pain
Understand the time it takes to gain my feet again
I gotta let it go and not be led astray
It’s so easy to lose my footing when I’m in the darkening grey
I loved you from the beginning and felt our love was real
Although we tried so hard to make things work we couldn’t gain an even keel
Now we’re bent and broken, hearts bleeding in our chests
So let’s salvage all of that which was good and scrap all of the rest
We gotta let it go, we gotta walk through the pain
Understand the time it takes to gain our feet again
We gotta let it go and not be led astray
Hang on to what we know is true and wait for a brighter day
The tendency is to run and hide from the pain you are to feel
Close yourself up inside to the feelings that are real
Jump into another relationship or work you life away
Pretend your wounded heart doesn’t make you hurt while you’re looking the other way
You gotta let it go, you gotta walk through the pain
Understand the time it takes to gain your feet again
You gotta let it go and not be led astray
It’s so easy to lose my footing when you’re in the darkening grey
You gotta let it go, you gotta walk through the pain
Understand the time it takes to gain your feet again
You gotta let it go and not be led astray
Hang on to what you know is true and wait for a brighter day

You
04:31

For the moment I’m free, bound by no man
Able to roam from land to land
An image of you is clear in my mind
Your heart and mine have been entwined
Oh to see just a ways down the road
And glimpse at the promise my life does hold
To find my direction, to establish my day
To be freed from my meandering way
Ahhh…
But You ease my mind
In You, peace I find
It hard to know all the why’s and the how’s
And it’s hard to make sense of the here and the now
Precious together, but now we’re alone
And I’m traveling far from my home
Sometimes I’ll fear and I’ll run away
To keep my loneliness and sadness at bay
Braving the fire, fording the stream
With your image dancing in my dreams
Ahhh…
So often I want it to come to an end
For plot to unfold without wrinkle or bend
To find my direction, to be healed and be whole
Deep within the marrow of my soul
But life can’t be contained in a book on the shelf
And it’s fearful to stand alone by yourself
In a world where rhyme and reason are rare
And so often things seem so damn unfair
Ahhh…
But You ease my mind
In You, peace I find

The day broke like gold, there was life in the air
And I was edging on excitement like a boy
And I saw your smiles and we walked many miles
And my heart was a singing with joy
**Now ain’t that the way it should be
With our hearts unfettered and free
Now ain’t that the way it should be
I’m a loving you, and you’re loving me
When we finally arrived we looked to the sky
And saw the mountains we’d climb that day
And I was tied to you and you were tied to me
And there we were together at play
Well we climbed through the day til’ the sun sped away
And majestically lit up the sky
And as we passed ‘round the wine the full moon began to climb
The mountain across the way
Now the sunlight was gone but the moonlight led on
As we journeyed our way toward home
And as we broke bread, there was a song in my head
A happy tune that wouldn’t leave me alone

Lord's Prayer
03:22
|

|
Oh my Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy name
Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us of our debts as we forgive
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from the evil one
For Thine is the kingdom
And the power
And the glory
Forever and ever amen.

Go to the Mountain
04:03
|

|
I awoke in the morning to Your voice in my head
You were callin’ out a warning
I heard every word you said.
You said, “Go to the mountain,
The Son you shall see;
Go to the mountain,
To set your spirit free.”
I awoke in the morning to Your sunlight on my face
I could feel the warmth of Your beauty
And see the beauty in Your grace
I awoke in the morning and started walking down that road
I could feel You there beside me
As if my hand you did hold
