Edwin Mccain Lyrics

Far From Over lyrics - Edwin Mccain

Well this life's stretched out before me

The highway shimmering with stars

The knowing glances of the runaways

That never made it this far

I can't believe she said that we can work it out

I thought that we were near the end

Gone are the days

All the trouble and the doubt

This is far from over my friend

My lover's name is music

Well she's held my heart so long

Tethered and pulling at the chains of disregard

What if all of this is wrong

I can't believe she said that we can work it out

I thought that we were near the end

Gone are the days

All the trouble and the doubt

This is far from over my friend

And we throw our prayers up skyward

Hoping anyone will hear

From Storyville to Broadway

This soul won't disappear

Well I heard that boy in Memphis

Playing memories and dreams

The ghosts of miracles played upon the stage

And then vanishing like steam

I can't believe she said that we can work it out

I thought that we were near the end

Gone are the days

All the trouble and the doubt

This is far from over my friend

Hearts Fall lyrics - Edwin Mccain

And the hearts fall in the right places

Pin feathers, dusty old wings

Living all my crazy never-land dreams

And I feel her trying when we're apart

And I feel like dying

God don't let me break her heart

And the hearts fall in the right places

And how she loves me, I don't understand

And if time won't change me, perhaps she can

And I feel her trying when we're apart

And I feel like dying

God don't let me break her heart

My selfish anger and I just run away

But a perfect heart always makes me stay

God don't let me break her heart

And the hearts fall in the right places

Sun Will Rise lyrics - Edwin Mccain

I know the sun will rise

Just like the stars in the skies

Hey there busy boy why are you so blue

Walking around in your Armageddon shoes

You say you got nothing, you got nothing left to lose

Boy if they were free, you still would not have a clue

I know the sun will rise

Just like the stars in the skies

Just like every time you look at me with loving in your eyes

I know the sun will rise

You're talking to the mystics, you got psychics on the phone

What a silly waste of time

You talk about lonely but you never were alone

Boy you just got to clear your mind

I know the sun will rise

Just like the stars in the skies

Just like every time you look at me with loving in your eyes

I know the sun will rise

Why must it be some big mystery

Tell me, why can't it just be alright

I know the sun will rise

Just like the stars in the skies

Just like every time you look at me with loving in your eyes

I know the sun will rise

Just like the stars in the skies

Just like every time you look at me with loving in your eyes

I know the sun will rise

I've Seen A Love lyrics - Edwin Mccain

I've seen a love that rolls like thunder

I've seen a love that falls like rain

That kind of love it makes me wonder

Why my love causes me so much pain

I see my ring as it spins on the table

A perfect circle on the dusty wood

Tells of a life, the love and the laughter

Cries my tears for the times that were good

I've seen a love that rolls like thunder

I've seen a love that falls like rain

That kind of love it makes me wonder

Why my love causes me so much pain

One gets lost, one gets lonely

In another world love remains

That kind of love takes away all your empty

That kind of love takes away all your shame

I've seen a love that rolls like thunder

I've seen a love that falls like rain

That kind of love it makes me wonder

Why my love causes me so much pain

And our kind of love it burns like summer

Like I'm rolling down some old heartache road

And all my running and my demons

Can't seem to lift it

Can't seem to lift that love

I've seen a love that rolls like thunder

I've seen a love that falls like rain

That kind of love it makes me wonder

Why my love causes me pain

Write Me A Song lyrics - Edwin Mccain

Kelly is raising her son

His dad left just after the birth

Now she's living on child support checks

I guess that's all that man was worth

She said I just need a man who will love me

But they all just want one night of sin

I know our life could be better

I just don't know where I should begin

She said write me a song

One that makes all the girls cry

And the old women swoon

At the sound of my tune

And the hearts of the lonely will fly

Yeah, they'll fly

Beth, she sings straight from the heart

She's hidden her tracks very well

But these days she's falling apart

And it makes me feel just like hell

She says, boy, you can't imagine my life

The death and the drugs and the pain

And though I keep running

I just can't seem to break from these chains

She said write me a song

Fill it all up with words

Like brilliant and heavenly

Make it sound just like me

Just like the first time I love you was heard

And now write me a song

One that makes all the girls cry

And the old women swoon

At the sound of my tune

And the hearts of the lonely will fly

We're all feeding our lonely

Like it might go away

The doors of heaven swing wide

If we just find the right words to say

She said write me a song

Fill it all up with words

Like brilliant and heavenly

Make it sound just like me

Just like the first time I love you was heard

And now write me a song

One that makes all the girls cry

And the old women swoon

At the sound of my tune

And the hearts of the lonely will fly

Yeah, fly

She said write me a song

Letter To My Mother lyrics - Edwin Mccain

Mama, how do I write the words to you

You were the only one who loved me true

But there's a woman that we don't even know

She gave me life, then you gave me a home

I love you, Mama

But I want to tell her too

Is that her little boy still loves you

I close my eyes, does she look like me

Does she need my help, is she cold on the street

Am I forgotten like a bad childhood dream

A B-movie actor on the black and white screen

I love you, Mama

But I want to tell her too

Is that her little boy still loves you

Could I have seen her, I'll never know

Maybe she's always been there watching me grow

I wanted to tell her how grateful I am

For giving me life, I've done the best that I can

I love you, Mama

But I want to tell her too

Is that her little boy still loves you

Her little boy still loves you

Get Out Of This Town lyrics - Edwin Mccain

It's time to get out of this town

There's no more fun to be found

I'm rolling thunder with the top down

It's time to get out, get out, get out

Crescent City high-life

Dancing with the devil's wife

Just like some voodoo dream

Living on 4th and Magazine

A black rose and a chicken bone

I don't know if I'll make it home

Another night at Snake and Jakes

Just a little more than I can take

It's time to get out of this town

There's no more fun to be found

I'm rolling thunder with the top down

It's time to get out, get out, get out

It's time to get out of this town

There's no more fun to be found

I'm rolling thunder with the top down

It's time to get out, get out, get out

Lear jets and limousines

Found my way to the Vegas scene

Hit hard on a sixteen

The pit boss is getting mean

Just waiting on my car

Rolling like the Junkyard

Three days and some big scars

That's what it takes to be a rock star

It's time to get out of this town

There's no more fun to be found

I'm rolling thunder with the top down

It's time to get out, get out, get out

It's time to get out of this town

There's no more fun to be found

I'm rolling thunder with the top down

It's time to get out, get out, get out

I'm falling down

It's time to get out of this town

There's no more fun to be found

I'm rolling thunder with the top down

It's time to get out, get out, get out

Kentucky lyrics - Edwin Mccain

The night before your wedding I dreamed what I would say

I beg you for forgiveness for all the mess I made

I dreamed that you were gracious, I dreamed you wished me well

I dreamed that you were vicious, you damned me straight to hell

But oh sweet Kentucky

No matter where I land

I was just a boy for you

And he will be your man

And I was just a boy for you

And he will be your man

I'd tell you that I'm lonely and fame has let me down

Living like a stranger, traveling town to town

And all my aspirations don't amount to much

The wine and the women are such a shameful crutch

But oh sweet Kentucky

No matter where I land

Cause I was just a boy for you

And he will be your man

And I was just a boy for you

And he will be your man

I know you will be happy and I'll be in the band

Cause I was just a boy for you

And he will be your man

And I was just a boy for you

And he will be your man

Radio Star lyrics - Edwin Mccain

I tell you my story on VH1

And all of my personal hell

And how my dad beat me and how much he drank

Do you think it'll help my records sell

Cause I'm the radio star with the cars and the clothes

The fancy guitars and the spoon in my nose

You know in my world now anything goes

You all want to be me, and I'll be gone in a week

Hang out with Britney and Fred Durst

Arrive in a limo, I'll leave in a hearse

And I can't decide now which part is worse

Losing my life to the game, or losing the fortune and fame

Cause I'm the radio star with the cars and the clothes

The fancy guitars and the spoon in my nose

You know in my world now anything goes

You all want to be me, and I'll be gone in a week

You put me on TV with all the cool stars

Like Letterman, Conan and Jay

Cause we're all experts at the art of PR

And nobody knows that I'm gay

I'm the radio star with the cars and the clothes

The fancy guitars and the spoon in my nose

You know in my world now anything goes

You all want to be me, and I'll be gone in a week

I'm the radio star

Dragons lyrics - Edwin Mccain

Well I'm watching the dragons as they make another claim

He used to be a friend of mine, I called him by his name

Well there's nothing you can say to nirvana when it's packed up in a syringe

We'll call up your mama and bus in all your friends

Well I'm watching the dragons

As they slither out of sight

And I wonder who'll be sleeping alone tonight

Beth lost her sister, they came and they took her away

And there ain't enough pills in the world and nothing I can say

So I tell her I love her and that she's a friend

And each time I leave her, I wonder if I'll see her again

Well I'm watching the dragons

As they slither out of sight

And I wonder who'll be sleeping alone tonight

Then I look in the mirror

The dragon has many forms

I wonder if he's coming for me

Because I have been forewarned

Well I'm watching the dragons

As they slither out of sight

And I wonder who'll be sleeping alone tonight

One Thing Left To Do lyrics - Edwin Mccain

She walked in, I tipped my hat

She said, "Boy don't you look at me like that"

And I said, "No, you know I got no game"

"Oh, but you can love me just the same"

She said "Boy, my mama told me all about boys like you"

"You talk so sweet then you leave me blue"

"Is that what you think you're about to do"

I said, "No, I'm just sittin' here singing a song"

"Don't want to do nobody wrong"

"You'll find out before long"

Tonight's just all about having fun

Maybe I'll see you when it's done

We'll talk about things that are making you blue

Till there's one thing left to do

She sat down right in front of the stage

And everybody was so amazed

Put a cigarette right between her lips

Before she could light it, the sax man shot right from the hip

She said, "No, my mama told me all about boys like him"

"Walking around with that sly grin"

"All he wants is a night of sin"

Tonight's just all about having fun

Maybe I'll see you when it's done

We'll talk about what's been making you blue

Till there's one thing left to do

And I just need some conversation

And I won't tell too many lies

I know it's a sticky situation

But I think I saw that twinkle in your eyes

Tonight's just all about having fun

Maybe I'll see you when it's done

We'll talk about what's making you blue

Till there's one thing left to do

Well we played till the police closed us down

Drank our drinks till the morning came around

She said, "Boy, everything you told me was true"

"I forgot about my blues, what are you going to do"

I said, "My mama told me all about girls like you"

"Talk a big game and then you leave me blue"

"Is that what you think you're about to do"

She said, "No, I never met a man that's quite like you"

"I think I'm gonna let my mama do the worrying too"

"What you gonna do"

You know tonight was so much fun

And I hate to see it's done

I forgot all my blues

Now there's one thing left to do

Jesus, He Loves Me lyrics - Edwin Mccain

I've been through the valley but I feared no man

Saw the beach and the footprints alone in the sand

When times seem hopeless, the night too dark to see

The lone footprints on the road behind were the times when You carried me

Jesus, He loves me

This I know

And Jesus, He loves me

For the Bible tells me so

Son of God

A Savior and King

You've taken away the sins of the world

So I raise my voice and sing

Jesus, He loves me

This I know

And Jesus, He loves me

For the Bible tells me so

Now I've held the hand of the devil

At the crossroads of my faith

And my Lord He came to rescue me

By His saving grace

And Jesus, He loves me

And this, I know

Jesus, He loves me

And you know He saved my soul

Jesus, He loves me

Wish In This World lyrics - Edwin Mccain

One little gutter town 3:00 in the morning

I whispered these words I believed

Said leave me alone girl

I'm so tied down and broken

It's too late it's too late to save me

Ain't no wish in this world slight of this moment

No dream I could dream that comes near

No heaven or hope that comes near

No wish in this world except you right here

It's cold and it's dark and I'm sure it makes you crazy

Runnin' to grass so green

Dangerous road but it's not going to change me

Paved with 10 million broken dreams

[Chorus:]

Sometimes I feel it's the end of the ride

Like distant water the well keeps running dry

[Chorus]

And you right here

And you right here...

Beautiful Life lyrics - Edwin Mccain

Another beautiful morning under stars and bars

And F series pickups and rusted out cars

And they're eating breakfast at the strip bar

Just to have a peek...

And the beer soaked angels spread their wings

And dream of twenties and diamonds and things

And somehow that might ease the sting

Of the company they keep

Yeah...

And the vets still talk about the Tet offensive

And the freshmen boys all look so pensive

Because living large is so expensive

Hope daddy fueled the jet...

And we'll all fly out to the Hard Rock casino

And we'll put on our neatly pressed and fine chinos

And we'll laugh at the guy in the El Camino

Is that the only car he could get?

It's a beautiful life

It's just as advertised

It's all for one low price

Just read the fine print, and you'll be content

With your beautiful life

And record smoothies say, 'What a sound'

You're the greatest thing we've found

But you're gonna have to lose a few pounds

We're gonna put you on TV

And don't think our place is so swank

Don't worry about that guy, he's high on crank

That's exactly why his last record tanked

And let that be a lesson to me

[Chorus:]

And all our churches glow

Communion wafers trash TV shows

Say, 'Hey, at least you don't have this strife'

'Cause you'll be warm and safe

In your beautiful life

Yeah...

And it's hard to tell what's true compassion

When it's dressed up in hair and nails and fashion

And the tabloids all rush to cash in on what we should believe

And I hope I never see the day

When there's nothing left on the planet left to save

And oxygen is the designer crusade

As we all fight to breathe...

[Chorus]

Promise Of You lyrics - Edwin Mccain

Promise of you

It sleeps in the air

The air that I breathe

And I know that it's true

Don't have to convince myself to believe

What secrets sleep in the heart of a man

So much love wasted Slip right through my hands

See it in the eyes of the lonely

As they make their weary way

Shimmer in the eyes of longing

I hear it say

Promise of you

It sleeps in the air

The air that I breathe

And I know that it's true

Don't have to convince myself to believe

To believe...

What secrets sleep in the heart of the night

Dreams of salvation

Slipping out of sight

In the shimmering moments of twilight

Closing up the shine

Whisper on the wind of a rescue

Savior in time

Promise of you

It sleeps in the air

The air that I breathe

And I know that it's true

Don't have to convince myself to believe

All this time

I've been fighting my own private war

All this time

You were the peace I was looking for

Ghosts Of Jackson Square lyrics - Edwin Mccain

Ghost on the street today

Doorways of Jackson Square

In tinsel and tap shoes

Mardi Gras beads in her hair

Down to the graveyard

She wrung out her hands

As if he will meet her

All day she stands

So don't leave me

And I know you're justified

So don't leave me

'Cause a part of you in me died

We wish ourselves beautiful

We cry in the night

And it's not the love you feared

But the fall from the height

My personal ledges

Afraid to look down

My crepe paper bridges

Enough water to drown

[Chorus:]

And I see the lonely souls

Searchin'

But before the heartbreak rose

Draw the curtain

I'm a ghost on the streets today

Surrounded by eyes

I feel them peer through me

And my harlequin disguise

If it makes you feel better

Come join me the while

And there's love in these open arms

Some love in my spirits' smiles

[Chorus]

I Could Not Ask For More lyrics - Edwin Mccain

Lying here with you

Listening to the rain

Smiling just to see the smile upon your face

These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive

These are the moments I'll remember all my life

I found all I've waited for

And I could not ask for more

Looking in your eyes

Seeing all I need

Everything you are is everything to me

These are the moments

I know heaven must exist

These are the moments I know all I need is this

I have all I've waited for

And I could not ask for more

[Chorus]

I could not ask for more than this time together

I could not ask for more than this time with you

Every prayer has been answered

Every dream I have's come true

And right here in this moment is right where I'm meant to be

Here with you here with me

These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive

These are the moments I'll remember all my life

I've got all I've waited for

And I could not ask for more

[Chorus]

I could not ask for more than the love you give me

'Coz it's all I've waited for

And I could not ask for more

I could not ask for more

Do Your Thing lyrics - Edwin Mccain

Just do your thing

If it makes you feel better

Go on and sing

If it makes you feel better

Shufflin' feet

Snuck up on me now

This young man's lost his way

He don't believe

All the stuff they told him

He's caught up in the fray

He said I've got this great big

Bag full of dreams

And I don't know what to do

I said a wise man gave me

The key to life

And now I give it to you

And I said

Just do your thing

If it makes you feel better

You're running that race

A little bit faster now

Towards your finish lines

Such a disgrace

You missed all the beautiful

You can't buy back the time

So stop and love

And dance and live

And laugh until you cry

Don't wake up to realize that

Your time has passed you by

Just do your thing

If it makes you feel better

Go on and sing

If it makes you feel better

You can cling to your fears if you want to

To your heart and your soul

You must be true

Prayer To St. Peter lyrics - Edwin Mccain

Let them in, Peter

For they are very tired

Give them couches where the angels sleep

And light those fires

Let them wake whole again

To brand new dawns

Fired by the sun

Not war-times bloody guns

May their peace be deep

Remember where the broken bodies lie

God knows how young they were

To have to die

You know God knows how young they were

To have to die

Give them things they like

Let them make some noise

Give dance hall bands not golden harps

To these our boys

Let them love Peter

For they've had no time

They should have bird songs and trees

And hills to climb

The taste of summer

And a ripened pear

And girls as sweet as meadow wind

And flowing hair

And tell them how they are missed

But say not to fear

It's gonna be all right

With us down here

Let them in, Peter

For they are very tired

Give them couches where the angels sleep

And light those fires

Let them wake whole again

To brand new dawns

Fired by the sun

Not war-times bloody guns

May their peace be deep

Remember where the broken bodies lie

God knows how young they were

To have to die

You know God knows how young they were

To have to die

And tell them how they are missed

But say not to fear

It's gonna be all right

With us down here

It's gonna be all right

With us down here

Go Be Young lyrics - Edwin Mccain

Perfumed and smoky

She swears that she knows me

She's falling down drunk again

I say she's mistaken

She's visibly shaken

Emotions all drowned in gin

She said I used to be beautiful

But now it's all gone

I let my dreams slip away from me

That's where it went wrong

Go be young, go be free

Follow your heart where it leads you

Don't end up like me

The Indian in the guardhouse used to spin me yarns

Stories of canyons and Boston in winter

And losing his family's farms

He said I've outlived my three sons, they died in three wars

I laughed and I cried while they lived and they died

And I know that they deserve more

[Chorus:]

Perfumed and smoky

I'm falling down drunk again

I say she's mistaken

She's visibly shaken

Emotions all drowned in gin

I say I used to be powerful

But now it's all gone

I let my dreams take control of me

That's where it went wrong

[Chorus]

Anything Good About Me lyrics - Edwin Mccain

Rolled in last night

To the dawn, the porch, and both our floodlights

No excuse

But we were having such a good time

Why, oh why

Can't I just walk the straight and narrow

So ashamed But I'll do it all again tomorrow

Maybe you're the only one that sees

Anything good about me

I found a friend

To get the number just to call you

Line was jammed I tried and tried, but could not get through

All these calls

To warn you of my scoundrel heart

But these walls

And still they can't keep us apart

[Chorus:]

And I promise to take care

And love you

If you promise to keep seeing

Anything good about me

And I swear sometimes

There's asphalt running through my veins

And let me go

And never ever pull my reins

And I'll return

With cuts and bruises, scarred but smarter

Lick my wounds

And try again but twice as hard

[Chorus]

I'll Be (Acoustic Version) lyrics - Edwin Mccain

The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful

Stop me and steal my breath

Emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky

Never revealing their depth

Tell me that we belong together

Dress it up with the trappings of love

I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips

Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

I'll be your cryin' shoulder

I'll be love suicide

I'll be better when I'm older

I'll be the greatest fan of your life

Rain falls angry on the tin roof

As we lie awake in my bed

You're my survival, you're my living proof

My love is alive and not dead

Tell me that we belong together

Dress it up in the trappings of love

I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips

Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

I've dropped out, burned up, fought my way back from the dead

Tuned in, turned on, remembered the thing you said

Sign On The Door lyrics - Edwin Mccain

Wendy's sittin' next to me

She's trying hard to drink it away

And I feel the rumble of the subway

Beneath the stage

And her eyes are screaming

And her lips are pursed

And this ain't her first heartache

But it feels like, it feels like the worst

And she says

Can someone tell me how this can happen

And I guess that God only knows

My heart used to be

The sweet shop of love

But now the sign on the door

It says sorry we're closed

And I hear myself tell her

Some old words I know they won't help

And then I feel guilty

'Cause I closed some sweet shops myself

And we all talk about timing

And lifestyles and such

But to a heart that's been shattered

Those words don't mean that much

And all of our pining

It just goes to show

Don't you enter a shop

With the sign on the door

Saying sorry we're closed

And she's been through all the pain

That one can endure

And her new man thinks she loves him

But he can't be sure

And his heart pines for Wendy

She says that's how it goes

How am I supposed to know

He can't read the sign saying

Sorry we're closed

Yeah we're closed

And she says

Can someone tell me how this can happen

And I guess that God only knows

My heart used to be

The sweet shop of love

But there's a sign on the door

There's a sign on the door [3x]

One more sign...

See Off This Mountain lyrics - Edwin Mccain

She's a Blue Ridge cradle

She's a mother to some

And home to the laughter

Of road weary ones

So we'll sing all the old songs

Sing to Grandmamma Road

And we'll sing cause we miss her

And we're sad she had to go

If I could see off this mountain

Through the clouds in my eyes

I would see off this mountain

On the nights stars fell

And see off this mountain

Through the tears in my eyes

I would see off this mountain

And the stars fell from the skies

In the air I hear a fiddle

Down along Hickory Way

And the mandolin guitar

Like we used to play

And down on Dunn's rock

Brothers boasting a dare

We tell them they're crazy

And pretend we don't care

If I could see off this mountain

Through the clouds in my eyes

I would see off this mountain

On the nights stars fell

And see off this mountain

Through the tears in my eyes

I would see off this mountain

And the stars fell from the skies

The air tastes like moonshine

In the wind a carnival tune

It soars with our laughter

But we'll all leave too soon

So I raise a toast to family

Put thanks in my glass

In the arms of your loved ones

It's the only home that lasts

If I could see off this mountain

Through the clouds in my eyes

I would see off this mountain

On the night the stars fell

And see off this mountain

Through the tears in my eyes

I could see off this mountain

When the stars fell from the skies

Going up to Grandmamma Road

I'm happy as can be

'Cause can't you see

I'm going up to Grandmamma Road

See The Sky Again lyrics - Edwin Mccain

Whispered from my heart and soul to my unwilling eyes

Lift my vision from the ground lift it to the sky

Skies they used to be so ugly rain that stings my face

Opens up their glory just earth and sky and space

And your passionate embraces absolve me of my sin

Your life lifts me up so I can see

See the sky again

And I've lived through all the flash-fire set off like lightning spark

Yes they burn so brightly and oh they burn so hot

And these fantasies of all our love tearing at the ground

Wrapped up in the vortex of sweat and sex and sound

And your passionate embraces absolve me of my sin

Your life lifts me up so I can see, see the sky again

Hide me

From the love I'm too scared to send

Hide Me

'Til I see the sky again

And your passionate embraces absolve me of my sin

Your life lifts me up so I can see

See the sky again

Grind Me In The Gears lyrics - Edwin Mccain

I'm holding my last breath

It's burning in my lungs

Clenching up my eyes

Bloody up my tongue

For the words that might escape

Are ringing in my ears

Grinds me to a pulp

Grind me in the gears

My frozen spirit aches

I slip another day

Start to lose my grip

Find another way

For the life that might escape

Has been echoing for years

Grinds me to a pulp

Grind me in the gears

I've seen all the faces

They mirror me

And I've felt the tearing...tearing of the teeth

I've given up my ghosts

Barely breathe your name

Offer up myself

Pray you'll do the same

For the love that might escape

Well that's the biggest fear

Grinds me to a pulp

Grinds me in the gears

Cleveland Park lyrics - Edwin Mccain

Pacing gently, summer wind

The king stares softly to the sky

Will he ever see his home again

Deep from his heart he starts to cry

As his songs hit the air and young hearts are awake

Soon they join in the chorus sharing all his ache

There's a lifetime out there somewhere

Somewhere in the dark

And summer's on, the lion's song

Sung from Cleveland Park

And the high school kids ignore it

They have their own tune

They're just showing off the speakers in their ride

I know what I'm sayin'

I grew up too soon

And youth goes hand in hand with foolish pride

As their song hits the air and young hearts start to break

The lions join in the chorus sharing all their ache

There's a lifetime out there somewhere

Somewhere in the dark

And summer's on, the lion's song

Sung from Cleveland Park

In Cleveland Park trees breathe a sigh of all the summers gone

Skeletons in wintertime, they sing the lions song

There's a lifetime out there somewhere

Somewhere in the dark

And summer's on, the lion's song

Sung from Cleveland Park

I'll Be lyrics - Edwin Mccain

The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful

Stop me and steal my breath.

And emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky

Never revealing their depth.

And tell me that we belong together,

Dress it up with the trappings of love.

I'll be captivated,

I'll hang from your lips,

Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above.

And I'll be your crying shoulder,

I'll be love's suicide

And I'll be better when I'm older,

I'll be the greatest fan of your life.

And rain falls angry on the tin roof

As we lie awake in my bed.

And you're my survival, you're my living proof.

My love is alive and not dead.

And tell me that we belong together.

Dress it up with the trappings of love.

I'll be captivated,

I'll hang from your lips,

Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

And I'll be your crying shoulder,

I'll be love's suicide

And I'll be better when I'm older,

I'll be the greatest fan of your life.

And I've dropped out, I've burned up, I've fought my way back from the dead.

I've tuned in, turned on, remembered the things that you said

And I'll be your crying shoulder,

I'll be love's suicide

And I'll be better when I'm older,

I'll be the greatest fan of your...

I'll be your crying shoulder,

I'll be love's suicide

And I'll be better when I'm older,

I'll be the greatest fan of your life.

The greatest fan of your life.

...greatest fan of your life.

How Strange It Seems lyrics - Edwin Mccain

I'm a hack driver in New York City

I've got seven kids on the lower east side

I'm not a strong man, I'm not very pretty

But in rush hour hell you should see me drive

I'm a dressmaker in Louisiana

Stick my finger ain't that a shame

People come to haggle and paw on my artwork

But no two of my dresses are ever the same

How strange it seems to be me

If tomorrow I opened my eyes

And found myself somewhere else

I wonder who I'd be

I'm the house man at a place called the exit

The last band I heard bored me to tears

But every so often I hear one that moves me

Love for the music is what keeps me here

How strange it seems to be me

If tomorrow I opened my eyes

And found myself somewhere else

I wonder who I'd be

I'm a rich man

I ain't talking 'bout money

I'm a blues singer at the Eight by Ten

You go out searching for some grand tomorrow

Don't worry 'bout me just drop by now and then

How strange it seems to be me

If tomorrow I opened my eyes

And found myself somewhere else

I wonder who I'd be

The Rhythm Of Life lyrics - Edwin Mccain

The rhythm of life

Heaven withstanding and smiling we're all swept away

The rhythm of life

Is not so demanding as some caught in narrows would say

Fragile as ships as we pass through Gibraltar

The sirens have long given way

Dark as the murky graveyard of sailors

Whispering secrets told in the crashing waves

The beating of hearts

Set walls to trembling the power of silence persuades

The stumbling feet

Stagger predestined we all end up wild eyed and crazed

And from the madness most jaded of vision

Reflections of horror invade

Running and falling relinquish your venom

The antidote surely will cause your affliction to fade

How little we know of what we are blessed with

Our shimmering island it turns

How little we look at what we see clearly

Of tragedy's lessons not learned

Sleeping through classes we'll make it up later

There's still so much time left to go

Misguided roses we bloom in October

Emerging triumphant in time for the season's first snow

Punish Me lyrics - Edwin Mccain

Do I fuel my hunger deprive my dreams

Live my lonely worn out seam

Stitches weary and the scars they leave

I'm the only one deceived

Please stand clear from the blast

As I purge demons from my past

Don't aspire to relieve

Do your worst and punish me

So I run fast I can

Die tomorrow half a man

Finish the story she said to me

I can't sit here and watch you bleed

Please stand clear from the blast

As I purge demons from my past

Don't aspire to relieve

Do your worst and punish me

Do I fuel my hunger deprive my dreams

Live my lonely worn out seam

Stitches weary and the scars they leave

I'm the only one deceived

Please stand clear from the blast

As I purge demons from my past

Don't aspire to relieve

Do your worst and punish me

Darwin's Children lyrics - Edwin Mccain

Seven million years of progress handed down on silver wings

Of gossamer and protein still we haven't learned a thing

Are we caught up in our anger, locked up in our rage

In the opera of selection on this our earthly stage

And Charlie's spinning laughing, laughing in his grave

Laughing at the prophecy, the prophecy he gave

Can we spread our wings like angels, can we break out of the grind

Are we destined to be Darwin's children this time

The ribbons of our cigarettes vanish in the air

In the glow of our great teacher we sit and blankly stare

And the sky could open up and what would we have to say

Something cute about burning out, better than fading away

And Charlie's spinning laughing, laughing in his grave

Laughing at the prophecy, the prophecy he gave

Can we spread our wings like angels, can we break out of the grind

Are we destined to be Darwin's children this time

On the wings of invention now we hurdle toward our fate

As sure as the sunset burns

Collective resignation, evolutionary fate

When will we ever learn

And Charlie's spinning laughing, laughing in his grave

Laughing at the prophecy, the prophecy he gave

Can we spread our wings like angels, can we break out of the grind

Are we destined to be Darwin's children this time

Take Me lyrics - Edwin Mccain

I pull my boots off, throw my weapons on the floor

Cry my eyes out, in my private little war

Well it seems I've been a soldier

Heaven knows I've been no saint

In my camouflage and armor, cold heart and grease paint

To you this has no meaning the Armistice laid down

The armies are all quiet and the guns don't make a sound

'Cause you melted the steel walls, tore down the barbed wire

Filled in the trenches, demanded a cease fire

And now you're leaving, there's nothing I can do

I want you to know you're gonna take me with you

Well now three on a match is suicide in the foxhole of my mind

And way off in the distance the air raid sirens whine

And they sing your song of rescue to my tattered worn out shell

You drag me to your safety from this my front line hell

'Cause you melted the steel walls, tore down the barbed wire

Filled in the trenches, demanded a cease fire

And now you're leaving, there's nothing I can do

I want you to know you're gonna take me with you

The blood that was spilled in the heartache before

Left road maps of scars that I never could ignore

'Cause you melted the steel walls, tore down the barbed wire

Filled in the trenches, demanded a cease fire

And now you're leaving, there's nothing I can do

I want you to know you're gonna take me with you

(I've Got To) Stop Thinkin' 'Bout That lyrics - Edwin Mccain

I like to think about the time I met you

Living with your people down in New Orleans

Mad at your mama cause she'd never let you

Ride in no nasty limousine

Later on the levee with the moon up above

I lost my heart and confessed my love

Oh Lucy, God have mercy

I've got to stop thinkin' 'bout that

One summer night in a field of wheat

God's sweet lanterns hanging in the sky

Moving light on your tiny feet

I knew I had to love you till the day I die

They talk about Amazing Grace

It meant something when I saw your face

Oh Lucy, God have mercy

I've got to stop thinkin' 'bout that

I think of all the little things that I never told you

I think I may get to hold you someday

It's my brain just like a man possessed

I can't do me no work, I can't get me no rest

I can't understand it baby

Don't like to think about the way it ended

I hate remembering the things that I said

I dream a dream of love so splendid

I wake up hard in an empty bed

I wonder who'll be loving you next

Some fool will be writing bad checks

Oh now Lucy, God have mercy

I've got to stop thinkin' 'bout you

What Matters lyrics - Edwin Mccain

Have you given up on passion living day to day

You keep your dreams locked down inside

Choking on a lifetime of never take a chance

Don't wake up one day wishing you tried

It ain't about the money, it ain't about the time

It ain't about the love you lost or the things you think you left behind

It ain't about the losing streak, makes you feel like you're falling apart

What matters is your heart

Let's forget about the notion that we're not the same

My blood runs as red as yours

We all get angry, we've all been scared

We've all made big mistakes that can never be repaired

It ain't about the money, it ain't about the time

It ain't about the love you lost or the things you think you left behind

It ain't about the losing streak, makes you feel like you're falling apart

What matters is your heart

Look me in the eye and take my hand

We can make a difference

We can make a difference I know we can

Have you given up on passion living day to day

You keep your dreams locked down inside

Choking on a lifetime of never take a chance

Don't wake up one day wishing you tried

It ain't about the money, it ain't about the time

It ain't about the love you lost or the things you think you left behind

It ain't about the losing streak, makes you feel like you're falling apart

What matters is your heart

Holy City lyrics - Edwin Mccain

Midnight in the Holy City

Playground for restless souls

Graveyards for the sons of Ft. Sumpter

And the ghostly daughters

Wait for their boys to come home

Moonlight in the Holy City

So thick it warms the air

Burned my heart on a sweet southern flame

Like a hug from your mama saying it will be OK

Spilt my blood, in the Holy City

Seen the flood of a thousand rains

I ran away from the Holy City

Heard the spirits in the steeple singing

You'll be back again

Sunrise in the Holy City

The kings and queens shuffle by

I'm born here of my own ashes

Just lay me down here when I die

Spilt my blood, in the Holy City

Seen the flood of a thousand rains

I ran away from the Holy City

Heard the spirits in the steeple singing

You'll be back again

Alive lyrics - Edwin Mccain

Al, he sells records down on old St. Charley's Street

He's cleaning up Fat Tuesday's mess he keeps the sidewalks neat

And he just lost his father and he just lost his wife

And if it wasn't for the music he couldn't get on with his life

And he knows what I know

It's not all that hard to survive

You take the good and the bad and the time in between

It lets us know we're alive

Well now Be Be's singing gospel

And down on Bourbon she sings the blues

She plays on all my heart strings curls my toes up in my shoes

And she knows what I'm after

Chase my dreams with all my might

She says you shouldn't be so anxious

And deep down I know she's right

And she knows what I know

It's not all that hard to survive

You take the good and the bad and the time in between

It lets us know we're alive

Well get on board the rocket

Step right into the front car

You know life's a roller coaster

It ain't got no safety bar

Raise your voices up with laughter

Bring it in with one big sigh

Consecrated in the wonder...we're alive

Norman he plays music but only in my dreams

Shows me all the beauty that soulful music brings

But sometimes he's a specter and I wake up clenched with fear

But lesson good or bad he always keeps me clear

And he knows what I know

It's not all that hard to survive

You take the good and the bad and the time in between

It lets us know we're alive

Solitude lyrics - Edwin Mccain

Tim he was a good friend

Yeah was a brother of mine

We were imaginary comic book super heroes

Kids wasting time

We were prisoners of our youth

We were growing up strong

'Til the day he was taken away

For something he did wrong

Tim came 'round just the other day

And boy he had some stories to tell

His mama kept him locked up in a rehab

Although the doctors said he was well

He said yeah I been through the anger

And the hatred towards my mom

And I put all that behind me

Just tell me what was it like to go to your prom

He said thank you mom for fixing

My clouded broken mind

But excuse me if I seem a little rude

While I was missing my childhood, my brother and my prime

You enjoyed the convenience of my solitude

Well growing up these days just ain't easy

And the kids they're doing the best that they can

So mama you better think twice

Before you lock your kid up and throw away the key

'Cause soon your little boy is gonna be a man

He said thank you mom for fixing

My clouded broken mind

But excuse me if I seem a little rude

While I was missing my childhood, my brother and my prime

You enjoyed the convenience of my solitude

Tim left town yesterday

He left me with these words

He said yeah I know this life's got a lot to give

But my childhood is gone

And I'm not afraid of dying

I'm gonna grab the world by the horns and learn how to live

He said thank you mom for fixing

My clouded broken mind

But excuse me if I seem a little rude

While I was missing my childhood, my brother and my prime

You enjoyed the convenience of my solitude

Jesters, Dreams & Thieves lyrics - Edwin Mccain

Looking back on younger days the view stretched on for miles

We charged into our futures with laughter and smiles

As we traveled blindly the road became so thick

No chance to change direction and we've laughed until we're sick

Now I keep company with wicked evil men

My generosity's brimming but I'm still inclined to sin

My friends think I am crazy and I know that may be so

But I'm as happy with a penny as coffers full of gold

And so for all of you I say, don't miss the forest for all the trees

And don't ever question honor among thieves

The undergrowth has parted now the path is easily read

It's lined with all the doubters regretting all they've said

God bless all the dreamers and those who lead with soul

For how can you know virtue 'less you fought out of a hole

And so for all of you I say, don't miss the forest for all the trees

And don't ever question honor among thieves

Trickle of a chuckle as laughter starts to pour

Bells begin to jingle the trickles now a roar

Pan flutist, cloven dancer

The Mischief Has Begun

Laugh with me if it's funny, laugh at me if it's fun

And I don't know St. Peter but I know he believes

There's a place in heaven for jesters, dreamers & thieves

Guinevere lyrics - Edwin Mccain

After all the corridors are darkened

When the royal crown is off your head

To your chambers I will creep not a word we will speak

Just love me while the fire light dances 'round the bed

Well there is danger in this passion

Because the king can never never know

And on my blood I've sworn my allegiance

So I'll leave you when the sunlight comes and beckons me to go

And the silver shine is tarnished from my armor

And in battle I am paralyzed with fear|

And this poison in my soul is the love we'll never know

And it finds me playing Lancelot to your Guinevere

Well and Guinevere is sly enough to steal a little taste

And her laughter it peals into the night

Oh but forbidden fruit always stays sticky on your face

And without virtue I'm worthless in a fight

Stealing little glances at the table I feel that this is theatre in the round

But far away chasing vixens in the meadow

Your love like wind, blows right by and sweeps me off the ground

Your love sweeps me off the ground

Well now it sweeps me off the ground

And the silver shine is tarnished from my armor

And in battle I am paralyzed with fear

And this poison in my soul is the love we'll never know

And it finds me playing Lancelot to your Guinevere

Sorry To A Friend lyrics - Edwin Mccain

Sittin' on the edge

Looking for songs in a bottle

Talking with strangers who don't know my pain

Blurry eyed and burned out

Choking on more than I can swallow

Crack in a little voice called out my name

She said - Whatever happened to you

It's been two years where have you been

And I guess all my fears were true

The words were all gone the time's been too long

But I deserve to know what happened to my friend

Staring in her face

I see a past that still haunts me

The road where we split up is paved with the things I didn't say

We had wonderful times, but terrible timing

Now just leave her alone, I'll just be in the way

She said - Whatever happened to you

You took the coward's way out again

And I guess all my fears were true

The words are all gone, the time's been too long

But it's not too late to say I'm sorry to a friend

I'm sorry to a friend

Sorry to a friend

Like a stone in a stream

Life smoothes all our edges

'Til we barely make a ripple any more

But those times in my life will live with me forever

But we're not the same people that we were before

And I'm sorry for the smiles we missed and the times that I blew it

I've got so much to tell you

I don't know where to start

Maybe I'll find a way maybe you'll help me do it

'Cause friends like us should not be apart

And I'm sorry to a friend

Well now I'm sorry

America Street lyrics - Edwin Mccain

Rubber on my tires making contact with the road

Sign on the street post tells me which way I should go

Riding down America Street funny that it's one way

Riding down from uptown to where the buildings are broken down in decay

America Street it's right nearby

Land of the free and the brave

If we can't work and make some change

There won't be much of this land left to save

It's a classic case of misdirection and slight of hand

We watch while our deficit grows

What a shame that we can't teach our kids to read

Makes you wonder where all the tax money goes

Well America Street it's right nearby

Land of the free and the brave

And if we can't work and make some change

There won't be much of this land left to save

Won't be much to save

Excuse me sir pardon me can you spare some change

Because it's cold and I live outside

A thoughtful search into my pockets finds enough so he can rocket

Right up to the bar and enjoy his lie

America Street it's right nearby

Land of the free and the brave

And if we can't work and make some change

There won't be much of this land left to save

Won't be much to save...

Russian Roulette lyrics - Edwin Mccain

Hey boy pushin' on your girlfriend

Trying to show her all the pain you feel inside

Yeah and head all scrambled and the love is gone

And you don't know what went wrong

But I think I heard you hissing something about blue steel

But when you talk about something like gun play

Let me tell you it's a losing bet

But when the hammer falls all bets are called

And five to one you're gonna lose

When you talk about something like Russian Roulette

Tears run down your sweet love's face

I say she's a mirror of your insides

And you can't scream loud enough to let it go

And you mouthful of pride you just can't swallow

Rips your soul like a hurricane tide

But when you talk about something like gun play

Let me tell you it's a losing bet

But when the hammer falls all bets are called

And five to one you're gonna lose

When you talk about something like Russian Roulette

Pack up your ego and your tantrum

Put it back with your anger and your pride

Beating up on your girlfriend

Ain't gonna change anything inside

But when you talk about something like gun play

Let me tell you it's a losing bet

But when the hammer falls all bets are called

And five to one you're gonna lose

Bitter Chill lyrics - Edwin Mccain

Sweet love is keeping a very close score

She's cheated death more than one time

The tears roll down her face and on to the floor

The psychic's been reading her mind

Women with secrets men with their rage

The lines run deeper than words on the page

Breeze through the window, it turns bitter chill

Pretend we don't feel it, lie here real still

Whispered in visions of new earth shine

We volunteer to do nothing again

The world falls around us all we can do is whine

Living out the future of original sin

Women with secrets men with their rage

The lines run deeper than actors on the stage

Breeze through the mountains turns bitter chill

Pretend we don't feel it, lie here real still

Well now follow me to the water

Dive right through the film

Swim in the madness, fulfill every whim

Why worry about tomorrow that you'll never see

Why talk about the children that will never be

Give us this day our daily bread

Forgive us our monstrosities

No more stories of the Quick and the Dead

The asphalt will burn with our liabilities

Don't Bring Me Down lyrics - Edwin Mccain

Well I don't drive a fast car

You know it just ain't my style

And I don't give a damn about that

You know it ain't worth my while

And I've been known to run around

Burned some bridges in my time

You know those girls tried to tie me down

But my heart is still all mine

Well Elvis had his blue suede shoes and Samson had his hair

You know I got my music baby

And my dreams will take me there

You know I don't smoke cigarettes

I don't see the point

And if you're gonna put smoke in your lungs

Might as well smoke a joint

Well I don't mind if you hang around

Just don't start talking that love talk baby

Don't bring me down

Well don't call me a scoundrel

Baby don't call me a thief

Don't look down your nose at me

I don't need all your grief

Join me and the jesters, singing for today

Live life at its fullest

Before it slips away

Well I don't mind if you hang around

Just don't start talking that love talk baby

Don't bring me down

Why you want to shoot me down

I'm just trying to be your friend now baby

But you lock the door, hide the key, hide under the bed

You're gonna hide from me

Come on baby, let me in...

Kitchen Song lyrics - Edwin Mccain

Sitting in the kitchen

Just staring at the cracks in the wall

I've been sitting here since yesterday

Just waiting on you to call

The cracks remind me of you and I

They're all up, down and split apart

And all the cracks in the wall lead to one great big hole

That used to be my heart

Now that I think of it

Nothing ever worked out right

All we ever seemed to do is just cuss, scream, bitch and fight

All we did was fight

The tears I cried

Fell on a cold and lonely floor

No one to wipe them away

The tears I cried

Will be my own and they'll follow me

And that's the way it's gonna stay

Now that I think of it

Nothing ever worked out right

All we ever seemed to do is just cuss, scream, bitch and fight

All we did was fight

Oh pretty baby, can't you understand

I'm not made up of enough to be your man

Oh pretty baby, don't know what to say

I just want you to...go away

Well I'd love to sit and reflect on this

But I haven't got the time

Just tell me why you chose to be so cruel, mean, brutal so unkind

Now that I think of it

Nothing ever worked out right

All we ever seemed to do was cuss, scream, bitch and fight

All we did is fight

The tears I cried fell on a cold and lonely floor

No one to wipe them away

The tears I cried

Will be my own and they'll follow me

And that's the way it's gonna stay

Thirty Pieces lyrics - Edwin Mccain

Thirty pieces of silver screen

Deep inside our souls

How did we betray our imagination

Watching our futures unfold

Without a whisper for fear of intrusion

We have to see how this part ends

Time out for commercials

Time out to be good friends

But our generation's angry

We're so scared that we can't see

The answer right inside of us

If we can find the place in our hearts where we're all free

Does it see that time works against us

Or does it just march on and on and on

Sometimes it drives me crazy

Proving Nostradamus wrong, so wrong

But we still have secret silos with buttons, codes and keys

We can avert this awful disaster

If we find the place in our hearts where we're all free

And what a tall order

Far be it for me to say

Maybe I'll try a little harder

Starting here today

Or just throw in the towel

Lay down five up the ghost

And join all the cynics

Luckier than most

Maybe I'll check out with a bullet

Would you think less of me

Or would it frighten you enough

Would it rattle you enough

Would it frighten you enough to...

Find the place in our hearts where we're all free

3 A.M. lyrics - Edwin Mccain

It's 3:00 AM

I'm awake and my heart is still dreaming

It's 3:00 AM

Outside I hear the souls still screaming

It's been so long you know since my head's been this clear

Just like a ship lost in the night

I just don't know which way I should steer

But I'll keep chasing my dreams

And only you can make them real

I pour my heart out every night

But do you know the way that I feel

Sometimes this is work

And don't you know sometimes this is play

Sometimes you are listening to me

And sometimes you don't hear a damn word that I say

Sometimes there's a girl

Sometimes I go home alone

And I guess it's no wonder right now

That I do very well on my own

But I'll keep chasing my dreams

And only you can make them real

I pour my heart out every night

But do you know the way that I feel

And I will play just as long as you will listen

Now I'm in no big hurry to get back on the road

Sometimes in this lifestyle

I feel like there's so much that I'm missing

Well I'm missing you

It's just that I'm...so far from home

It's 3:00 AM

I'm awake and my heart is still dreaming

It's 3:00 AM

Outside I hear the souls still screaming

Home lyrics - Edwin Mccain

There's a tiny handprint

Two feet from the floor

And on the wall outside our upstairs bedroom door

A tiny handprint

Sticky from the pancakes

Making sure that daddy's waking up

To kiss her tiny face

This is home to me

Is the place where I find peace

It's the view you've got to see

And this is home to me

Her brothers run

From one into the other

And not listening to their mother

Time to get a go lay down the rules

But she's so good

Well she's got them fat and ready

And so he climbed on into the green truck

And we head on out to school

This is home to me

Is the place where I find peace

It's the view you've got to see

And this is home to me

The young man craved the kiss

That's just the thrill of the chase

I never dreamed of this

And home is a warm-loving embrace

There's a tiny handprint

Two feet from the floor

On the wall outside our upstairs bedroom door

A tiny handprint

Sticky from the pancakes

Making sure that daddy's waking up

To kiss her tiny face

Love Is Alive lyrics - Edwin Mccain

(originally by Gary Wright)

Well, I think it's time

To get ready

To realize

Just what I have found

I have lived only half

Of what I am

It's all clear to me now

My heart is on fire

My soul's like a wheel that's turnin'

My love is alive

There's something inside

That's making me crazy

I'll try to keep it together

'Cause what I say may not

Happen the same way

Now could be forever

My heart is on fire

My soul's like a wheel that's turnin'

My love is alive

Yeah, yeah

My love is alive

Woo-hoo

My love is alive

There's a mirror moving

Inside my mind

Reflecting the love

That you shine on me

Hold on now

To that feeling

Let it flow

Let it grow

Yeah, yeah

My heart is on fire

My soul's like a wheel that's turnin'

My love is alive

Yeah, yeah, yeah

My love is alive

(Woo-hoo)

Tip Of My Tongue lyrics - Edwin Mccain

They say chasing dreams is noble

Well catching them is so tragic

When you're right on the heels of your heart's desires

The distance is magic

When I say yeah

When it's on the tip of my tongue

Well you taste so sweet

When you're out of reach

When you're on the tip of my tongue

We're a lost generation with no sense of self

Everybody wants to be someone else

We run from love to a stranger's embrace

Only to find it's the thrill of the chase

When I say yeah

When it's on the tip of my tongue

Well you taste so sweet

When you're out of reach

When you're on the tip of my tongue

Suck the poison, bite the wound

Chase the facade

Finish lines, they come too soon

And the thirsty find the mirage

Yeah

We're a lost generation with no sense of self

Everybody wants to be someone else

We run from love to a stranger's embrace

Only to find it's the thrill of the chase

When I say yeah

When it's on the tip of my tongue

Well you taste so sweet

When you're out of reach

When you're on the tip of my, eh-eh, tongue, oh

When I say yeah, oh

Yeah, you're on the tip of my tongue

We're All In This Together lyrics - Edwin Mccain

Don't get used to

All this bad news

Give it time

Things will soon get better

There'll be hard truths

We will live through

We can do it

We're all in this together

They run the edge

Between dark and dawn

And you hear the siren singing through the night

First ones to go

First ones to show

They're the first ones that will tell you everything's gonna be alright

Don't get used to

All this bad news

Give it time

Things will soon get better

There'll be hard truths

We will live through

We can do it

We're all in this together

Think of the boys

In those Higgins boats

Storming towards the shores of World War II

They faced their fears

They did their jobs

Now it's our turn and there's no time left to lose

Don't get used to

All this bad news

Give it time

Things will soon get better

There'll be hard truths

We will live through

We can do it

We're all in this together

Put away your fear

And lean into this moment

There's a brand new team of heroes on the line

We can win again

And yes it will be painful

But we've risen to these challenges

Time after time

Things will sure get better

We're all in this together

Don't get used to

All this bad news

Give it time

Things will soon get better

There'll be hard truths

We will live through

We can do it

We're all in this together

Don't get used to

All this bad news

Give it time

Things will soon get better

There'll be hard truths

We will live through

We can do it

We're all in this together

Walk With You lyrics - Edwin Mccain

I'll take this slow sweet walk with you
You'll let go of my hand to say I do
And he will discover just how blessed a life can be
I know 'cause all those years ago someone handed you to me

Every step that we take brings back the memories
Winter snows and horse shows and dancing on the beach
I can't help thinking that I'm the lucky one
You're still my baby daughter, and now I've gained a son

I'll take this slow sweet walk with you
You'll let go of my hand to say I do
And he will discover just how blessed a life can be
I know 'cause all those years ago your mom handed you to me

Don't miss a chance to put each other first
Now that you've vowed for better or for worse
And don't let the beauty of this life pass you by
In the times of trouble you'll stand side by side

I'll take this slow sweet walk with you
You'll let go of my hand to say I do
Picture a slow sweet walk yet to be
And you'll take my hand, say daddy come see

Then you'll know what it feels like
You won't believe what it feels like
Then you'll know what it felt like when she handed you to me
She handed you to me
