Was A Piece Of My Heart Fallen From Graceland Father Time Fear Get Ready Hard Times Come Easy Harlem Rain Hearts Breaking Even Hey God Homebound Train |
Every
Word Was A Piece Of My Heart
I've
been staring at the page
For what seems like days
I guess I put this one off for a while
Did I see a tear fall from your eyes
Or did you laugh so hard that you cried
When I served my secrets on a silver tray to you
Hey now, I guess the night's just bringing me down
There's not love, there's no hate
I left them there for you to take
But, know that every word was a piece of my heart
You've been the blood in my veins
The only one who knows my middle name
And the smiles they came easy 'cause of you
You know that I love you, but I hate you
'Cause I know I can never escape you
Let the choir sing for tonight I'm an easy mark
Hey now, am I acting just a little too proud?
There's not love, there's no hate
I left them there for you to take
But know that every word was a piece of my heart
Have I said too much
Maybe I haven't said enough
But know that every word was a piece of my heart
Hush me darling, maybe I've lost my touch
Maybe I've lost my guts - there, is that truth enough
Hey now, Hey now
You know these love letters mix with whisky
Just don't light a match when you kiss me
Though I'll blow away, you know I'll be back soon
Hey now, Hey now, Hey now, am I talking just a little too loud?
There's not love, there's no hate
I left them there for you to take
But know that every word was a piece of my heart
Have I said too much
Maybe I haven't said enough
But know that every word was a piece of my heart
Hey now, am I talking just a little too proud?
Hey now, the night's just bringing me down
There's
a line that you cross
When you find out that you're lost
When your world is closing in
And it crawls under your skin
And the heart's always blind
When it's in this state of mind
There's a burning light in this town
For every heart that's broken down tonight
Here tonight
You're stranded out there in the rain
And you just can't see past the pain tonight
You've fallen from graceland
Fallen from graceland
When you're too proud to crawl
It keeps you back against the wall
You wanna die, but you live
With nothing left to give
And there's no place to hide
When you're tangled up inside
There's a burning light in this town
For every heart that's broken down tonight
Here tonight
You're stranded out there in the rain
But you just can't see past the pain tonight
You've fallen from graceland
And there's no place to hide
When you're tangled up inside
There's a burning light in this town
For every heart that's broken down tonight
Here tonight
You've stranded out there in the rain
But you just can't see past the pain tonight
You've fallen from graceland
Fallen you've fallen from graceland tonight
Fallen, fallen, fallen, fallen from graceland and tonight
There's a light
A bright light burning
For every broken heart in this world tonight
Deep inside
Yes, there's one light burning
That will lead you throught the storm tonight
It's gonna be alright
Be alright, yeah
Gonna be alright, yeah
It's gonna be alright
(oh, it's gonna be alright, tonight)
Father
time
I couldn't make her wanna sta
I couldn't seem to find the words to say
Now I have to live in yesterday
Father time
I thought that you were on my side
I thought that I could keep our love alive
I thought that I could keep her satisfied
The clock keeps tickin' and I keep on thinkin' 'bout you
I'm knockin' at the door of your heart but I can't break through
Father time
Grant me just another day
Of our love I tried to make her stay
Father time
Don't tell me it's too late
All my life you know that I would wait
Father time
Now she's gone
She didn't even say goodbye
I guess she didn't have the heart to try
She didn't even have the guts to lie
Father time
Only you can turn the page
And close the curtain on this empty stage
Only you can take my pain away
My heart keeps breakin' and my body keeps aching for you
It's time to hold on but there's nothin' left to hold on to
Father time
Grant me just another day
Of our love I tried to make her stay
Father time
Don't tell me it's too late
All my life you know that I would wai
Father time
Father, father can't you see I'm depending on you
I'm dying at the door to your heart and I can't break through
Father time
Grant me just another day
Of our love I tried to make her stay
Father time
Don't tell me it's too late
All my life you know that I would wait
Father time
She's your child make her mine
Father time
I see you looking over your shoulder
Tell me who you think's out there
You're reaching for you four leaf clover
But baby there ain't no luck down here
I swear there's no heart in this city
It's here the slogan reads "Do your time"
Everybody's doing their sentence
It's just there ain't nobody here
Who knows just what's the crime
I watched my father live a lie here
I'd rather die than fade away
I read the rules and yeah, I know them
Still you ain't ever gonna
Make me play the game of
Fear
Fear
Fear
Fear
Of
a new thing
Running with the rats through the city
Makes you fell like you're apartner in crime
Girl once you were young and pretty
Now you won't stop to watch that little girl died
Hey baby won't you stop and here me
Just being here we're breathing heart attacks
We can run and chase
The setting sun we can run
And we won't ever look back
Take my hand I know we'll make it
I'll let nothing slow us down
I know you want to curse this place
One thing that's stopping us now
Fear
Fear
Fear
Of a new thing
Fear
Fear
Fear
Of the brass ring
You ain't one for taking chances
You work and live and breathe that 9 to 5
Still that's what you call living
Man, that's surviving to me
And surviving is living to is in fear
You
need someone to make it last
No Romeos who'll love and leave you fast
They fade away
Tonight you're not gonna be alone
Makign love on the telephone
Baby, baby if you can hold on
I gonna take you all the way tonight
I like 'em down and dirty, hold on tight
Come on get ready
Come on get ready
You're looking sharp in your dancin' shoes
You got style and you got the moves
Oh, you're so hot, girl and on the loose
You're caught up ina danger zone
Just seventeen but you act full grown
The nightlife is turning you on
You wanna take me all the way tonight
Take my hand, can you feel the heat
Make you feel alright
Come on get ready
Come on get ready
Come on, Come on
The
old man down on the corner
Is downing in his pain
I can see the sorrow in his eyes
His tears, the leave a stain
The streets have left him broken
He's in the final phase
It's been a long hard road
From his glory days
There's a tatoo of his sweetheart
Fading on his arm
He talks of painful tragedy
How he lost his lucky charm
His memory is clouded
From the thunder in this vein
He's vanishing, vanishing gone
In the Harlem rain
Harlem rain coming down
Another shattered soul in the lost and found
One more night
On the street of pain
Getting washed away by the
Harlem rain
On desperation avenue
The devil takes his toll
Where the pushers and the poverty
Slowly claim your soul
When you reached the realization
That you just can't break the chain, no
You're vanishing, vanishing gone
In the Harlem rain
Harlem rain coming down
Another shattered soul in the lost and found
One more night
On the street of pain
Getting washed away by the
Harlem rain
Harlem rain
In your seach for tender mercy
No one seemed to care
The faith that used to be your crutch
Is now your cross to bear
You last yourself so long ago
You don't know who to blame
You're vanishing, vanishing gone
Vanishing, vanishing gone
Vanishing, vanishing gone
In the Harlem rain
It's amazing
We go through changes
When times get crazy
It's up and down,it's hot and cold
These complications
Just keep on coming
These ain't no running
When it comes to life that's how it goes
'Round and round we go
Sometimes it feels like
We're on a roller coaster ride
Baby don't you know
It could eat up
If you try and keep it all inside
Seems like hard times come easy
We do a lot of hangin' on these days
But the heart finds a reason
And love always seems to find a way
Even if it hurts
Even if it hurts us baby
There's gonna be thunder
There's gonna be rain
There's gonna be those times
We both get caught up in the pain
The realization
Keeps sinkin' in
The way you make it
Is learn to take it on the chin
'Round and round we go
It's just another day
With trouble knockin' at your door
Baby don't you know
We can work it out
'Cause we always seem to find a cure
Seems like hard times come easy
We do a lot of hangin' on these days
But the heart finds a reason
And love always seems to find a way
Even if it hurts
Even if it hurts us baby
'Round and round we go
Sometimes it feels like
We're on a roller coaster ride
Baby don't you know
We'll keep holdin' on
Through the changes that we feel inside
Seems like hard times come easy
We do a lot of hangin' on these days
But the heart finds a reason
And love always seems to find a way
Hard times come easy babe
It's
been a cold, cold, cold, cold night tonight
I can't get you off my mind
God knows I've tried
Did I throw away the best part of my life
When I cut you off, I cut myself
With the same damn knife
Hide my tears in the pouring rain
Had my share of hurt and pain
Don't say my name
Run away
'Cause it's all in vein
My hearts breaking even
Now there's no use we even try
Hey I cried
Yeah I lied
Hell I almost died
Don't got a reason
Let's just fold the cards and say good-bye
It's all right
Just two hearts breaking even tonight
It's been a long, long, long, long time
Since I've had you love here in my hands
We didn't understand it, we couldn't understand it
But, nothing's fair in love and hate
You lay it all down and walk away
Before it's too late
We danced all night as the music played
The sheets got tangled in the mess we made
There in the stains
We remain
No one left to blame
My hearts breaking even
Now there's no use we even try
Hey I cried,
Yeah I lied
Hell I almost died
Don't got a reason
Let's just fold the cards and say good-bye
It's all right
Just two hearts breaking even tonight
Go on, get on with your life
Yeah-I'll get on with mine
Broken hearts can't call the cops
Yeah, it's the perfect crime
Twisting and turning the night keeps me yearning
I'm burning alive
I'm paying the price again,
But I'll see the light again
My hearts breaking even
Now there's no use we even try
Hey I cried
Yeah I lied
Hell I almost died
Don't got a reason
Let's just fold the cards and say good-bye
It's all right
Just two hearts breaking even tonight
Hey God, I'm just a little man got a wife and family
But I almost lost my house
Yeah, I bought into a dream
We're barely holdin' on
W hen I'm in way too deep
We're two paychecks away from living out on the streets
She's a working single mom, like a Saint she don't complain
She never says a word, but she thinks that she's to blame
Her son just got convicted,
He blew some punk away
She did her best raise him, but the world got in the way
Hey God
Tell me what the hell is going on
Seems likes like all the good shits gone
It keeps on getting harder hanging on
Hey God
T here's nights you know I want to scream
These days your even harder to believe
I know how busy you must be
But Hey God
Do you ever think about me?
Born into the ghetto in 1991
Just a happy child playing beneath the summer sun
A vacant lots' his playground, by 12 he's got a gun
The odds are bet against him, junior don't make 21
Hey God
Tell me what the hell is going on
Seems likes like all the good shits gone
It keeps on getting harder hanging on
Hey God
There's nights you know I want to scream
These days your even harder to believe
I know how busy you must be
But Hey God
Do you ever think about me?
I'd get down on my knees
I'm going to try this thing your way
I've seen a dying man too proud to beg spit on his own grave
Was he too gone to save?
Did you even know his name?
Are you the one to blame?
I got something to say
Hey God
Tell me what the hell is going on
Seems likes like all the good shits gone
It keeps on getting harder hanging on
Hey God
T here's nights you know I want to scream
These days your even harder to believe
I know how busy you must be
But Hey God
Do you ever think about me?
Homebound
Train
When I was just a boy
The devil took my hand
Took me from my home
He made me a man
So, don't talk to me about sympathy now
Cause you can't dance if you
Take a chance on your rosary
I'm going down, down, down, down, down
On the homebound train
It's been a millions years
That I been gone
I been everywhere, now I'm heading home
Been a lot of girls
But there's a woman I know
Said don't take no plane
Better take a train
Cause I like it real slow
All the way back home
On the homebound train
I'm going down, down, down, down, down
On the homebound train I'm on my way
I'm heading home
To be with my baby
Where I belong
Coming down the tracks now
See, I done my time
I'm going back now
To that home of mine
Well, here I come baby
Here I come baby
Here I come baby
All the way back home
On that homebound train
I'm going down, down, down, down, down
On that homebound train
