Take time with the love that you have in your hand Let her know that her love is all that you demand All that I want is your love All that I want is your love Sit on the porch swing in the summer together Sit with my love and admire the weather Cause all that I want is your love, my dear All that I want is your love Winds picking up when autumn comes near We can fly kite and go looking for deer All that I want is your love All that I want is your love Winter is coming but ill keep you warm Sit here together and weather the storm All that I want is your love All that I want is your love Spring has arrived and the flowers return Drink beer by a fire, watch our worries burn All that I want is your love All that I want is your love

Sometimes 02:10
Sometimes It’s okay to wallow in self Pity But only for a minute You see what I need is a sweet melody It goes: LA DA DA DE DA DUM Because what I think and what I said Is different than the way it should be And time and time again I say these words But they mean nothing to me Oh they mean nothing to me Lately I’ve been feeling down and out quite Shitty Been having trouble with this little Ditty It keeps playing again in my head Well it said It said: LA DA DA DE DA DUM

Leavin' Town 02:19
Never say never’s when I’ll come around Cuz I’ll be there before you if I ever leave town x2 I’ll load up this old car And we’ll see just how far The rubber It will take us The snow, sleet and rain May amplify the pain But the sunny day Will save us CHORUS But I’ll roll through the snow And I’ll strain through the rain Slog through the fog Just to return again And I can’t say I should And I won’t say I won’t But I can’t be let down If I ever leave town CHORUS Emotions run deep And bonds they get stronger The hair on my face Will only get longer And dreams come and go And some tend to stick Others just die Even more tend to shift CHORUS I can’t say I should And I won’t say I won’t But I can’t be let down If I ever leave town

Everybody’s making out making out better than me Everybody’s jerking off jerking off, but still getting ahead Everybody’s doing it doing it better than me Everybody’s getting off getting off scott free So please... please don’t mislead me Everybody’s coming coming out to see me tonight Everybody’s getting laid getting laid off, but still getting paid Everybody’s freaking out freaking out about the littlest of things Everybody’s making out making out better than me Please... don’t misunderstand me Chorus

Waiting 06:34
I've been waiting so long I've been waiting so long I've been waiting so long To get it done - let's get it done No more wishing No more bitching No more playing around Come on now - let's get it done It's time to go Let's get it done I've been waiting so long I've been waiting so long I've been waiting so long To get it done - let's get it done No more swaying No more delaying No more waiting around Come on now - let's get it done I've been waiting so long I've been waiting so long I've been waiting so long To get it done - let's get it done

living in this place so old and dark and drafty but all it takes is you to make it home the windows and the doors broken and unhinging I'm glad to know you're here to keep me warm the water doesn't work so well the lights they tend to flicker and the basements gonna flood after this storm and when the wind does whistle through those broken walls i know it's gonna scare you from your sleep living in this place so old and dark and drafty but all it takes is you to make it home the windows and the doors broken and unhinging I'm glad to know you're here to keep me warm when the winter comes and there's snow inside the building i know that you'll be laughing as I shovel out the den but soon the spring will come everything is melting watching all the roof leaks settle in living in this place so old and dark and drafty but all it takes is you to make it home the windows and the doors broken and unhinging I'm glad to know you're here to keep me warm sitting in the front yard listen to some old Cat Stevens i love it when you sing into my eyes soon it will get better but for now I'm pretty happy just to know you're here i know I'm home

Black & Blue 02:07
One and one The road and the sun A winding path Journey’s just begun Through Buffalo To buffaloes Mini Wheats And the open road CHORUS: Sometimes knowing where you’re going Can keep you from an awful lot And sometimes not will show you what you’ve got Two and I An early morning sky Some fishing poles And our heads held high The afternoon Arrives too soon On burnt red backs And baseball caps CHORUS And sometimes it hurts to feel those feelings And sometimes it’s hard to find the meaning in all of the little things and the big things too When you’re black and blue and feeling true CHORUS Me and three Against the night The water black And one star bright A course due north A light ahead A bit too far A rocky bed CHORUS

A young man climbs to the top of the world To find some peace and solitude But 5 minutes later a couple arrives And without meaning to be rude - they say: "Will you take our picture? It's perfect! The sun's out! The sky couldn't be clearer!" and With reluctance he says, "Here. Looks great. Glad we captured the moment you ruined my day." Then he wandered off somewhere where he couldn't be found To dig a hole in the ground Days went by and weeks and months But he still dug and dug and dug and dug Deeper and deeper he went, til at last he had found The quietest place underground Then he heard, "Hey look! It's that guy who's been digging for years! We finally found him! The myth! He is real! Come quick take a picture - 'fore he runs away." But he did and he hid - alone and afraid That this would only happen again A man at the top of the world wants to be left alone And only lonelinesses guarantee can set him free

Memphis 02:53
Sittin' on the edge of a bridge on down near Memphis Looking back on life and on better days Silver linings, day dreams And a half-had jug of whiskey Hoping some day She'll come back to me I know where I've been But I don't know where I'm going But I guess that's how things work nowadays Dollar to dollar Day to day One drop in the bucket's better than a foot down in the grave Silver linings, day dreams And a half-had jug of whiskey Sitting on the edge Of a bridge on down near Memphis Looking back on life And on better days Sitting on the edge Of a bridge on down near Memphis Thinking if the jump is worth the trip

Disheartened 03:08
It's okay to be disheartened It only makes you harder Take the bad Get mad Get sad And get gone It's okay to be disheartened Well I never met a failure That I could not be told was myself And losers never win And the winners always lose It's okay to be disheartened
