I waited 'til I saw the sun

I don't know why I didn't come

I left you by the house of fun

Don't know why I didn't come

Don't know why I didn't come

When I saw the break of day

I wished that I could fly away

Instead of kneeling in the sand

Catching tear-drops in my hand

My heart is drenched in wine

But you'll be on my mind forever

Out across the endless sea

I would die in ecstasy

But I'll be a bag of bones

Driving down the road alone

My heart is drenched in wine

But you'll be on my mind forever

Something has to make you run

I don't know why I didn't come

I feel as empty as a drum

I don't know why I didn't come

Don't know why I didn't come

I don't know why I didn't come

Sunrise, sunrise

Looks like mornin' in your eyes

But the clock's held 9:15 for hours

Sunrise, sunrise

Couldn't tempt us if it tried

Cause the afternoon's already come and gone

And I said, "Ooh, ooh, ooh." to you.

Surprise, surprise

Couldn't find it in your eyes

But I'm sure it's written all over my face

Surprise, surprise

Never something I could hide

When I see we made it through another day

And I said, "Ooh, ooh, ooh." to you.

And now the night

Will throw its cover down

On me again.

Ooh, and if I'm right,

It's the only way

To bring me back.

Ooh, ooh, ooh to you.

Ooh, ooh, ooh to you.

Come away with me in the night

Come away with me

And I will write you a song

Come away with me on a bus

Come away where they can't tempt us with their lies

And I want to walk with you

On a cloudy day

In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high

So won't you try to come

Come away with me and we'll kiss

On a mountaintop

Come away with me

And I'll never stop loving you

And I want to wake up with the rain

Falling on a tin roof

While I'm safe there in your arms

So all I ask is for you

To come away with me in the night

Come away with me

Feeling tired

By the fire

The long day is over

The wind is gone

Asleep at dawn

The embers burn on

With no reprise

The sun will rise

The long day is over

One flight down

There's a song on low

And your mind just picked up on the sound

Now you know that you're wrong

Cause it drifts like smoke

And it's been there playing all along

Now you know

Now you know

The reeds and brass have been weaving

Leading into a single note

In this place

Where your arms unfold

Here at last you see your ancient face

Now you know

Now you know

The cadence rolls in broken

Plays it over and then goes

One flight down

There's a song on low

And it's been there playing all along

Now you know

Now you know

What am I to you?

Tell me darlin' true

To me you are the sea

Vast as you can be

And deep the shade of blue

When you're feelin' low

Oh, to whom else do you go?

See I'd cry if you hurt

I'd give you my last shirt

Because I love you so

Now if my sky should fall

Would you even call?

I've opened up my heart

I never want to part

I'm givin' you the ball

When I look in your eyes

I can feel the butterflies

I will love you when you're blue

But tell me darlin' true

What am I to you?

Now if my sky should fall

Would you even call?

I've opened up my heart

I never wanna part

Givin' you the ball

When I look in your eyes

I can feel the butterflies

Could you find a love in me?

Would you carve me in a tree?

Don't fill my heart with lies

I will love you when you're blue

Tell me darlin' true

What am I to you?

December, come to me

I hope I can see

You're not just in dreams

I will let you be

Why can't you believe

How much you really mean?

December, won't you come

Back with snow, even sun?

Don't say that it's done

I will carry you home

Take you from the loneliest place

You have known

I will carry you home

Take me from the loneliest place

I have known

The sun just slipped its note below my door

And I can't hide beneath my sheets

I've read the words before so now I know

The time has come again for me

And I'm feelin' the same way all over again

Feelin' the same way all over again

Singin' the same lines all over again

No matter how much I pretend

Another day that I can't find my head

My feet don't look like they're my own

I'll try and find the floor below to stand

And I hope I reach it once again

And I'm feelin' the same way all over again

Feelin' the same way all over again

Singin' the same lines all over again

No matter how much I pretend

Yeahhhh, Ohhhh, Yeahhh

So many times I wonder where I've gone

And how I found my way back in

I look around awhile for something lost

Maybe I'll find it in the end

And I'm feelin' the same way all over again

Feelin' the same way all over again

Singin' the same lines all over again

No matter how much I pretend

Feelin' the same way all over again

Feelin' the same way all over again

Singin' the same lines all over again

No matter how much I pretend

No matter how much I pretend

Lonestar, where are you out tonight?

This feeling I'm trying to fight

It's dark and I think that I would give anything

For you to shine down on me

How far you are, I just don't know

The distance I'm willing to go

I pick up a stone that I cast to the sky

Hoping for some kind of sign

Lonestar, where are you out tonight?

This feeling I'm trying to fight

It's dark, and I think that I would give anything

For you to shine down on me

For you to shine down on me

Like a flower waiting to bloom

Like a lightbulb in a dark room

I'm just sitting here waiting for you

To come on home and turn me on

Like the desert waiting for the rain

Like a school kid waiting for the spring

Im just sitting here waiting for you

To come on home and turn me on

My poor heart it's been so dark

Since you've been gone

After all you're the one who turns me off

You're the only one who can turn me back on

My hi-fi is waiting for a new tune

My glass is waiting for some fresh ice cubes

I'm just sitting here waiting for you

To come on home and turn me on

Turn me on

I've tried so hard my dear to show

That you're my every dream

Yet you're afraid each thing I do

Is just some evil scheme

A memory from your lonesome past

Keeps us so far apart

Why can't I free your doubtful mind

And melt your cold cold heart

Another love before my time

Made your heart sad an' blue

And so my heart is paying now

For things I didn't do

In anger unkind words are said

That make the teardrops start

Why can't I free your doubtful mind

And melt your cold cold heart

There was a time when I believed

That you belonged to me

But now I know your heart is shackled

To a memory

The more I learn to care for you

The more we drift apart

Why can't I free your doubtful mind

And melt your cold cold heart

Lines on your face don't bother me

Down in my chair when you dance over me

I can't help myself

I've got to see you again

Late in the night when I'm all alone

And I look at the clock and I know you're not home

I can't help myself

I've got to see you again

I could almost go there

Just to watch you be seen

I could almost go there

Just to live in a dream

But, no, I won't go for any of those things

To not touch your skin is not why I sing

I can't help myself

I've got to see you again

I could almost go there

Just to watch you be seen

I could almost go there

Just to live in a dream

No, I won't go to share you with them

But, oh, even though I know where you've been

I can't help myself

I've got to see you again

If I were a painter

I would paint my reverie

If that's the only way for you to be with me

We'd be there together

Just like we used to be

Underneath the swirling skies for all to see

And I'm dreaming of a place

Where I could see your face

And I think my brush would take me there

But only

If I were a painter

And could paint a memory

I'd climb inside the swirling skies to be with you

And I'm dreaming of a place

Where I could see your face

And I think my brush would take me there

But only

If I were a painter

And could paint a memory

I'd climb inside the swirling skies to be with you

I'd climb inside the skies to be with you

And after all's

Been said and done

Who said it best

Were you the one?

Let's just forget

Leave it behind

And carry on

If you should find

The time to speak

Then speak to me

I'd never keep

You from your final destiny

So carry on

Into the quiet

I am bound

What you have lost

I've never found

I lost my nerve

Yet peace surrounds

So carry on

Into the quiet

I am bound

What you have lost

I've never found

I lost my nerve

Yet peace surrounds

So carry on

And now that all's

Been said and done

Who said it best

Were you the one?

Let's just forget

Leave it behind

And carry on

Let's just forget

Leave it behind

And carry on

Nightingale sing us a song

Of a love that once belonged

Nightingale tell me your tale

Was your journey far too long?

Does it seem like I'm looking for an answer

To a question I can't ask?

I don't know which way the feather falls

If I should blow it to the left

Nightingale sing us a song

Of a love that once belonged

Nightingale tell me your tale

Was your journey far too long?

All the voices that are spinning around me

Trying to tell me who I am

So can I fly right behind you?

And you can take me away, oh

All the voices that are spinning around me

Trying to tell me what to say

So can I fly right behind you?

And you can take me away

Your eyes seek conclusion

In all this confusion of mine

Though you and I both know

It's only the warm glow of wine

That's got you to feeling this way

But I don't care, I want you to stay

Just to hold me and tell me

You'll be here to love me today

Children are dancin'

The gamblers are chancin' their all

The window's accusing the door

Of abusing the wall

But who cares what the night watchmen say

The stage has been set for the play

So just hold me and tell me

You'll be here to love me today

Well, the moon's come and gone

But a few stars hang on to the sky

Well, the wind's runnin' free

But it ain't up to me to ask why

But the poets are demanding their pay

And they've left me with nothin' to say

Cept hold me and tell me

Be here to love me today

Just hold me and tell me

You'll be here to love me today

Just hold me and tell me

You'll be here to love me today

I can't stop myself from calling

Calling out your name

I can't stop myself from falling

Falling back again

In the morning

Baby, in the afternoon

Dark like the shady corners

Inside a violin

Hot like to burn my lips

I know I can't win

In the morning

Baby, in the afternoon

I try to quit you but I'm too weak

Waking up without you

I can hardly speak at all

Mmm-hmm

My girlfriend tried to help me

To get you off my mind

She tried a little tea and sympathy

To get me to unwind

In the morning

Baby, in the afternoon

Funny how my favorite shirt

Smells more like you than me

Bitter traces left behind

Stains that no one can see

In the morning

Baby, in the afternoon

You're gonna put me in an early grave

I know I'm your slave whenever you call

I can't stop myself from calling

Calling out your name

I can't stop myself from falling

Falling back again

Falling back again

Falling back again

Falling back again

Falling back, oh

Falling back again

Falling back again

Baby, in the afternoon

Falling back again

Falling back again

In the morning

Trying to pick up the pace

Trying to make it so I never see your face again

Time to throw this away

Wanna make sure that you never waste my time again

How does it feel?

Oh, how does it feel to be you right now, dear?

You broke this apart

So pick your piece

And go away from here

Please just let me go now

Please just let me go

Would you please just let me go now?

Please just let me go

I've gotta get ya out

I gotta get ya out

I gotta get you out of my head

Get out

Gotta get you out

I gotta get ya out

I gotta get ya out of my head

Get out!

Never said we'd be friends

Tryin' to keep myself away from you

Cause you're bad, bad news

With you gone

I'm alive

Makes me feel like I took happy pills

And time stands still

How does it feel?

Oh, how does it feel to be the one shut out?

You broke all the rules

I won't be a fool for you, no more, my dear

Please just let me go now

Please just let me go

Would you please just let me go now?

Please just let me go

I've gotta get ya out

I gotta get you out (Please just let me go now)

I gotta get ya out of my head (Please just let me go)

Get out

Gotta get ya out

I gotta get ya out

I gotta get ya out of my head

Get out
