LYRICS
Roll A Few
Take a walk to the end of time
find a way around a straight line
everything is not what it seems
every word is not what it means
The band that's playing inside your mind
they broke a string and they're losing time
the singer's drunk and the drummer's stoned
and suddenly you feel all alone
Chorus:
and the rain falls and the wind blows, life can make you feel so exposed
but then the sky clears and the sun shines, and soon enough you'll be feeling fine
If you run up against that wall
pick up the phone and give me a call
we can talk til we both turn blue
or better yet we can roll a few
yeah, maybe we could just roll a few
Take Me
Sometimes you do sometimes you dont,
sometimes you will sometimes you wont.
Sometimes you're warm like a cup of tea,
sometimes you wont even pick up the phone.
But my patience is wearing thin,
I'm knockin on your door, just let me in.
Dont leave me standing out in the rain
when we could be together again.
Chorus:
Take me baby, take me momma
You can have me whenever you wanna
Take me baby, take me darling
I'm giving you everything, just take it all in.
You were like a thief in the dead of night,
you stole my heart under the moonlight
or maybe I just gave it away
I'd waited my whole life
for someone to share all my hopes and dreams
for someone who cares about what it means
to bring some good into this cruel world
wont you bring some to mine girl.
I've waited my whole life
to find something so right
But until that day arrives
I'll be caught up in your tide.
Just another fish in your sea,
waiting for you to come and take me.
Pass Me By
Let this whole world pass me by, close my ears I would close my eyes
I would leave it all far behind just as long, long, long as you were mine
Jump right off of this sinking ship just to hear those words coming from your lips
I would leave it all far behind just as long, long, long as you were mine
No more war, there'd be no more lies, no more greed covered in disguise
I would leave it all far behind just as long, long, long as you were mine
All the things in my life that I've owned I would leave in my car by the side of the road
I would leave it all so far behind just as long, long, long as you were mine
The Time Has Come
Lately it feels my voice has been washed to the sea
lately it feels my choice has been taken from me
they're building a house of cards and eventually
it will come tumbling down on the powers that be
Chorus:
The time has come, today is the day
the time has come, we've all got to lead the way
Dont give up little darling, dont you see (you got to)
spread your wings if your falling, or call on me
The stronger the winds that are blowin, the stronger the tree
together we are an ax and we're sharp and ready
Chorus:
The time has come, today is the day
the time has come, we've all got to lead the way
I believe that its not too late
the power of love is much too great
we spent such a long time running, and swimming upstream
its been such a long time coming, a faraway dream
but now that dream is not so far away, its right within reach
I can see the coming of a new day, come and see it with me.
Room In These Skies
I still remember the first time I saw you
even though I'd seen you so many times before
just like the sun come from behind the clouds
you opened up the door to things I hadn't seen before but I can see them now
Chorus:
There's room in these skies for dreams like yours and mine
Wherever you go I wont be very far behind
Your road goes your way and mine goes mine
and I might have to take a trip from time to time
but at the end of the day I still know my way home
and you can bet its in your arms cause your home is my home
Chorus:
There's room in these skies for dreams like yours and mine
Wherever you go I wont be very far behind
I dont want to leave to here without ever having really lived
I dont want to lose you cause babe I've still got a lot to gave
Just like a tree reaching for the sky
you're not afraid to dream and neither am I
no matter what I can assure you girl
my roots will remain undisturbed, buried deeply in the earth cause baby you're my world
I'm Standing Now
I don't know when I began to go down that darkened road
but when I first laid my eyes on her it lightened up my load
I've been down for oh so long but I'm standing now
and I just want to sing this song, you showed me how
I don't care if I'm a millionaire or if I'm poor as dirt
an empty pocket's not an empty heart and only one can hurt
I've been down for oh so long but I'm standing now
and I just want to sing this song, just keep it going round
it was a long way to be from home but I got back somehow
it was a long time to be alone but I got you with me now
I've been down for oh so long but I'm standing now
and I just want to sing this song, I gotta let it out
I've got a reason to go on
I've got a reason for this song
I've got a reason to grow old
something cant be bought or sold
I've got a reason now.
COME AND GONE
Another year has come and gone
another one on the way
another broken-hearted song
to the one who let you get away
to the one who never got it anyway
Feel the cold rushin in
flowin thru the cracks in your heart
you know the end before it's done
you can tell by the way that it starts
Chances are something you're given
chances are something you take
the chance at this love that you're wastin
could be the biggest mistake that you make
Thought you needed time to grow
thought in time you'd grow to know
that no matter how far you get
you're still not ready yet
And it tears me in two when I hear you say
that I'm gonna break your heart
when I'm not the one
walking away
Go on now and travel on
and may the road be good to you
may you find peace of mind at the loneliest times
when the world's beatin up on you
Fun & Games
So come on and look at what you've done,
you're running round like a loaded gun, woah
So come on this aint no fun and games,
you're runnin round making me feel crazed, woah
chorus:
Cause I dont wanna be a memory up on your shelf
and I dont want to end up all alone and by myself
So come on babe it's not too late,
nothings broke that we cant replace, woah
You know the love that we create gonna,
make the world a better place, woah
The love that we have, it dont come around everyday
and you dont go and you dont throw it away
Your fun and your games aint nothin but trouble and pain
baby dont go, baby dont throw it away
So come on and look at what you've done,
somebody better call up 911, woah
So come on this aint no fun and games,
you play with fire you go up in flames, woah
chorus:
Cause I dont wanna be a memory up on your shelf
and I dont want to end up all alone and by myself
and I dont want to waste away my days without your love
and I dont wanna play the games you play with our love
1000 Years
Chorus:
If a thousand years go by I wont let this love die
If the world no longer turns, this fire will still burn
Even if the sun refuse to shine, I'd be warm enough inside
Even if the skies lose their blue, I wont stop loving you
girl I know it's hard to play your cards against all odds and risk a broken heart
dont know what I would do if I'd been through what you been through, dont know where I would start
to pick it up again and trust again it must of been hard enough to get this far
but I wont let you down so trust me now when I tell you for me there is no one else
and if there's battle lines being drawn I wanna know just which side you're gonna be on
cause I intend to defend to the end this love that couldnt be wrong
and I believe that you and me were destiny ever since the day we were born
into this world believe me girl when I tell you, for me, there is no one else
No matter where you are, we're never far apart
No matter where I go, this love is right in my heart
No matter what comes our way, this love is gonna stay right here
No matter what they say, this love could last a thousand years
Baby I
Baby I just need to know
that you'll miss me when I go
Baby I just need to hear
that you want me to be near
Baby I just need to see
your loving eyes looking at me
Baby I just need to feel
your tender touch to know this is real
Baby I
Baby I might end up the fool
a small price to pay for loving you
Baby I might end up the clown
not knowing which way is up or down
Baby I
Baby I truly believe
I was meant for you and you were meant for me
Baby I want to sing you this song
cause a feeling this strong just cannot be wrong
Baby I need you to know
That I miss you when you go
Baby I need you to hear
that I want you to be near
Baby I
Pink Guitar
People say dont live in the past,
live each day like its your last,
but you should try it in reverse,
live each day like its your first.
Chorus:
I believe this is precious time,
I believe you are one of a kind.
You run along with no fear in your heart,
you play your song on your pink guitar,
and all the joy thats in your eyes,
reminds us of whats good in life.
So lets take a lesson on happiness from those
who live their days in the simplest ways.
Lately
Lately I've been thinking about nothing,
lately I feel so far away,
lately I'm like the falling rain,
hit the ground and slide away.
Maybe I just need a change of scene,
but all I find is more of the same,
maybe love is just a rainbow,
get too close and it fades away.
It fades away.
Chorus:
I want nothing more than to be with the one I adore.
Lately I've been thinking about all the time,
that I've wasted inside of my mind,
lately I've begun to see things anew,
lately I've begun to see you.
Maybe this is how life is meant to be,
like a ride on the deep blue sea,
some days the storm almost blows me away,
some days so peaceful i think I can stay.
I think I can stay.
Lately I've been thinking about everything,
lately I'm not so far away,
lately I'm like the rising sun,
full of hope for each new day.
Full of hope for each new day.
Ray of Sunshine
rain outside begins to fall,
that dont bother me at all,
I can still feel the warm sunshine,
I feel it everytime that I've got you on my mind.
Chorus:
Baby you, you're so fine, you're like my own little ray of sunshine,
you're on my mind it seems like just about all the time.
the day has turned to night,
darkness swallowed all the light,
everyone is walking blind but I can still see fine,
I've got my own little ray of sunshine.
I dont know which way to go without you,
I cant see in front of me without you,
All I am dont mean a damn without you.
Just Right
If I could be anyone, anytime, anywhere,
I would be me with you right now just sitting here.
If I could have anything that I could wish for,
I would want just whats in front of me and nothing more.
Chorus:
Its just right, its just right,
its just right, darling its just right.
If I could go into my past and erase mistakes,
I would tell you I've no regrets, nothing to replace.
If I could know just how my future was gonna go,
I would tell you that I would rather not ever know.
I fell asleep last night and began to dream
of distant hills gentle valleys and rolling streams,
on my arms there were wings that would take me there,
and my soul was so free I was light as air.
So I flew to this far away paradise,
and I stayed til the coming of the morning light,
and when I woke it was then that I realized,
the place in my dreams was laid out right before my eyes.
If my heart is an ocean, I will swim to the depth of devotion,
If my soul is a river, I'll be searching these waters forever.
Potholes
Pothole in the middle of the road, a tire gone flat,
and you wonder, did you deserve that?
Love used to shine through you like a shooting star,
but that feeling now seems so far.
Chorus:
Please dont give up on hope, on trust, on love.
Time can be cruel or be kind, remember whats lost and you'll find,
you better believe in what brings you back home.
Our hearts have more love than we know, our dreams are more real than we show,
we keep ourselves hidden, holding us back.
Chorus:
Please dont give up on hope, on trust, on love.
Please dont turn your back, close your eyes, or lose track of love.
Looking down that long stretch of road, not knowing just where it will go,
temptations are pulling you back.
But dont forget your family, your friends, cause thats where the road always ends,
it leads you right back to your heart.
All I Ever Had
This will not be the last time we have a mountain to climb,
we have already come so far.
Just look across the hill, time might as well be standing still,
my love for you will never change.
Chorus:
Baby dont cry,
stay by my side,
the sun will rise.
I'll light the fire, I'll lay down beside you,
we'll let the warmth into our lives.
Warm summer wind blows, we'll open the windows,
we'll let the light into our lives.
All I ever want,
all I ever need,
all I ever had is you.
Carry On
On the radio, sad song playing slow,
it must have been written for you,
all the words just ringing through the night.
Chorus:
Even when all of your skies are grey,
rain outside washing your hopes away,
tears from your eyes wont fall in empty arms,
I will be here to help you carry on.
The clouds have sunk down low, they're outside your window,
but I will help you to see clearer,
all the good, I'll be your mirror.
Low tide will soon rise, it can happen right before your eyes,
and everything you're searching for,
you will find and so much more I know.
On and on, on and on, on and on.
Would you believe something so good could come your way,
you were gonna leave, arent you glad you chose to stay?
Now you're living in full color and your world is not so grey,
yeah I knew you had it in you, I'm so glad you chose to stay.
Hanshin Tigers
Hanshin Tigers, ichiban,
come on, you know they're ichiban.
