[sunset_dreaming]

And all you found was seas to drown us
Roads to move us and screams to soothe us
I waited till my dying days were gone
And I'm coming home

 

[hugh_jarce69]

Stab a sorry heart with your favorite finger
Paint the whole world blue
And stop your tears from stinging
Hear the cavemen singing
Good news, they're bringing

Seven seas
Swimming them so well
Glad to see my face among them
Kissing the tortoise shell

 

[orangecurious]

I'm as puzzled as a newborn child
I'm as riddled as the tide
Should I stand amid the breakers
Or should I lie with death, my bride?
Hear me sing, "Swim to me
Swim to me; let me enfold you
Here I am, here I am
Waiting to hold you"

 

[ScarletDaisy]

Then there were those that made me feel good
But never as good as I feel right now
Baby, you're the only one that's ever known how
To make me wanna live like I wanna live now

 

[latecomer91364]

Why wait any longer for the world to begin?
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When he's standing in front of you?

Lay, lady, lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay
Stay while the night is still ahead

I long to see you in the morning light
I long to reach for you in the night

Stay, lady, stay
Stay while the night is still ahead

 

[Tallulah82]

I wish I could stay, I wish I could lie
Do whatever it takes to get you through the night
I can't be the one, I can't take the fall
Can't go up in the flames to keep your body warm

Now it's only the beat of my heart
That reminds me not to stare at the sparks
Can't set fire to my soul
Just to keep you, keep you, keep you from burning alone

 

[orangecurious]

I get out of my car
Step into the night
And look up at the sky
And there's something bright
Travelling fast
Just look at it go

 

[latecomer91364]

I've been to Boston, Charleston, Dayton, Louisiana
Washington, Houston, Kingston, Texarkana
Monterey, Faraday, Santa Fe, Tallapoosa
Glen Rock, Black Rock, Little Rock, Oskaloosa
Tennessee to Tennesse Chicopee,
Spirit Lake Grand Lake, Devils Lake, Crater Lake, for Pete's sake

I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man Crossed the desert's bare, man
I've breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel I've had my share, man
I've been everywhere

 

[Orwellian69]

I wish I had a bottle
Right here in my dirty face
To wear the scars
To show from where I came

 

[Dill_the_Dog]

You may be right,
I may be crazy.
But I just might be the lunatic you're looking for.
Turn out the lights,
Don't try to save me.
You may be wrong, for all I know
But you may be right.

 

[Mo_Bandy]

It gets loneliest at night
Down at the liquor store
Beneath the neon sky
Our moonlight

 

[hugh_jarce69]

I'm going back to 505
If it's a seven-hour flight or a 45-minute drive
In my imagination, you're waiting lying on your side
With your hands between your thighs

 

[hugh_jarce69]

If you like your coffee hot
Let me be your coffee pot
You call the shots, babe
I just wanna be yours

 

[latecomer91364]

There's a stain on my notebook
Where your coffee cup was
And there's ash in the pages
Now I've got myself lost

I was writing to tell you
That my feelings tonight
Are a stain on my notebook
That rings your goodbye

 

[hugh_jarce69]

You drink your coffee and
I sip my tea and we're
Sitting here, playing so cool, thinking
What will be, will be

Well, it's getting kind of late now
Oh, I wonder if you'll stay now, stay now, stay now, stay now
Or will you just politely say, "Goodnight"?

 

[hugh_jarce69]

What chance of meeting
So far out here
As if repeating
What's never clear

The verdant meadows
The smoky coil
The air and ether
The boiling soil

I read your novel
The names were switched
I heard you travel
You must be rich

Those distant cities
Are safe and warm
Within their walls
Of chloroform

 

[orangecurious]

Years ago
I was an angry young man
And I'd pretend
That I was a billboard
Standing tall
By the side of the road
I fell in love
With a beautiful highway
This used to be real estate
Now, it's only fields and trees
Where? Where is the town?
Now, it's nothing but flowers

 

[latecomer91364]

I went back to Ohio
But my pretty countryside
Had been paved down the middle
By a government that had no pride
The farms of Ohio Had been replaced by shopping malls
And Muzak filled the air
From Seneca to Cuyahoga Falls

 

[hugh_jarce69]

Here we stand or here we fall
History won't care at all
Make the bed, light the light
Lady Mercy won't be home tonight, yeah

 

[hugh_jarce69]

She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink
She said, I'm gonna make it up right here in the sink
It smelled like turpentine, it looked like Indian ink
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink

I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissin' everything in sight
But when I kissed that cop down at Thirty-Fourth and Vine
He broke my little bottle of Love Potion No. 9

 

[hugh_jarce69]

So I sing for you
Though you can't hear me
When I get through
And feel you near me
Driving in my car
I'm driving home for Christmas

 

[hugh_jarce69]

It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

 

[Orwellian69]

Don't leave me alone with her
Every home is Rome alone with her
And if you all go, who'll say no to her
Don't leave me alone with her
Don't my sweat and shaking register
Cause if you all go, who'll say no to her

 

[LeSabreur]

Get into the car
We'll be the passenger
We'll ride through the city tonight
See the city's ripped backsides
We'll see the bright and hollow sky
We'll see the stars that shine so bright
Oh, stars made for us tonight

 

[latecomer91364]

We lived our little drama.
We kissed in a field of white
And stars fell on Alabama last night.

I can't forget the glamour.
Your eyes held a tender light
And stars fell on Alabama last night.

I never planned in my imagination
A situation so heavenly.
A fairy land where no one else could enter
And in the center, just you and me, dear.

My heart beat like a hammer.
My arms wound around you tight
And stars fell on Alabama last night.
