The Wheel

How long was I asleep when did we plan to meet
Have you been waiting long for me
When did the sky turn black do you still want me back
I'll pick it all up piece by piece

And the wheel goes round and round
And the flame in our souls it will never burn out
And the wheel and the wheel goes round

I am a river with a voice I came into your life by choice
And none can judge the way that feels
You are a messenger from God you are the angel I forgot
And I can't say it isn't real

And the wheel goes round and round...

I'm not looking for your answers oh darling don't you see
That just to know the question is good enough for me
[ instrumental ]
Take up the hearts you came to heal
Put down your dagger and your shield
You need fear nothing now from me oh
I see the essence of the man
I stand before you as a friend
The truth moves through us even when we sleep

And the wheel goes round and round...
And the wheel goes round and round...

Seventh Avenue

Rosanne Cash - John Leventhal

The world keeps getting smaller till it closes round my room
And everything I feel now is hard and fast and true
My window is a spotlight on the madness down below
It takes a silent figure to make this place a home

Now the candles burn all night without you
And the moon hangs out of sight so blue
On Seventh Avenue

I gave you what you wanted and it took so many years
Now I'm just a part of the traffic and the tears
I am not a lighthouse not the answer or the truth
But the love I held onto is safe inside this room

Now the candles burn all night without you...
[ instrumental ]
Now the candles burn all night without you...
[ guitar ]
All of the stories of our lives are not lost
From memory on these streets tonight
[ instrumental ]

Change Partners

Rosanne Cash

In the middle of my life when my fate was sealed and tied
The heavens rain down fire the earth and moon conspire
To open up my eyes make me face my lies
I crawl through an abyss I struggle and resist
Somehow I break free someone becomes me
When I stand upright I'm filled with a new light
I'm given one more chance
So I change partners in this new dance
[ instrumental ]
The moon stays on a course no mortal will force
The courage to go deep is gathered while we sleep
I'm purified by fire renewed by my desire
And nothing's left to chance
So I change partners in this new dance
I change partners in this new dance
I'll change partners
[ instrumental ]

Sleeping In Paris

Rosanne Cash

© Chelcait Music, BMI

I'll send the angels to watch over you tonight and you send them right back to me
A lonely road is a bodyguard if we really want it to be
There's a fascination behind every window but I know you really care for me
And soon we'll be sleeping in Paris and we can set those angels free

No one sees behind the mask no one knows I'm sinking fast
But soon we'll be sleeping in Paris and we can set those angels free

Love is just a lunar slave it's tied to the ebb and flow
Generations get glued to the waves just to see which way they'll go
There's a desperation on wild street corners but I think you're just waiting for me
And soon we'll be sleeping in Paris and we can set those wild ones free

No one sees behind the door everyday it's one step forward
And soon we'll be sleeping in Paris and we can set those wild ones free

All those nights I laid with my eyes closed
But not sleeping at all those nights
I thought I knew which way the wind blows
But now its blowing me back to you
And the wind speaks French too
[ instrumental ]
No one sees and no one knows but every day I'm letting go
And soon we'll be sleeping in Paris
Soon we'll we sleeping in Paris and we can set those angels free

You Won't Let Me In

Rosanne Cash

© Chelcait Music, BMI

I'm staying in your house I'm sleeping in your bed
I'm walking through your dreams I'm dancing through your head
I'm calling from the streets I'm crying like the wind
Cause you are there and I am here and you won't let me in

I'm changing like a girl on the threshold of her life
In love with the whole world but staring down each night
You're everything I need a love I can't defend
But you are there and I am here and you won't let me in
You are there and I am here and you won't let me in

No time for kisses no time to laugh
No way that I can see to crawl out of our past
[ instrumental ]
I'm falling to my knees but I'm flying like a bird
I follow where you lead I hang on every word
I can't control the wind I don't care who you've been
But you are there and I am here and you won't let me in
You are there and I am here and you won't let me
You are there and I am here and you won't let me in
You are there and I am here and you won't let me in
[ instrumental ]
I keep on callin' I keep on callin' I keep on callin'

From The Ashes

Rosanne Cash

© Chelcait Music, BMI

I don't have to carry this load alone
Someday I'll stop crying and it won't be long
My eyes to the distance baby my hands on the wheel
And I'm gonna rise from the ashes that's how I feel I feel
I'm gonna rise from the ashes

I feel inspiration when all may be lost
I claim resurrection no matter the cost
My moment of waking darling is so close at hands
And I'm gonna rise from the ashes I know I can I can
I'm gonna rise from the ashes

Just give me one moment just give me one night
I'll be alright you know I will I will

I hold onto faith inside my fear
I know someone hears me when no one is near
My heart is my compass and my soul is my guide
And I'm gonna rise from the ashes be alive so alive
I'm gonna rise from the ashes
I'm gonna rise from the ashes
Oh I'm gonna rise from the ashes
I'm gonna rise (from the ashes)
I'm gonna rise (from the ashes)
I'm gonna rise
(I'm gonna rise from the ashes)
(I'm gonna rise from the ashes)

The Truth About You

Rosanne Cash - John Leventhal

© Chelcait Music, BMI

Know the truth about you babe know the stories you tell
I can fell your heart locked up inside you swear I know you so well
When the wind blows out across the water
And we stand here in this light
All our secrets fall like raindrops between us
And I know the truth tonight

Know the truth about you babe I can feel it through your hands
I can touch it when I'm sleeping I can love it when you can't
And if our ships sail on to distant places
And our mem'ries burn and fade
I might say I loved a man just like you
But I know the truth today

Know the truth about you babe where you've fallen where you stand
Where your walls still come between us where you take it like a man

Tears Falling Down

Rosanne Cash - John Leventhal

© Chelcait Music, BMI

It's the ghost of a dream that awakens me
In the night when no ones around
But I don't hear the sound of those tears falling down

And it's the breath of a kiss and so much tenderness
That drives my knees to the ground
But we don't hear the sound of those tears falling down

There's a river that won't forget and a wind that takes us breath
But in the cradle of our fears we sleep without fears

It's your eyes close to mine that lets in the light
That shows me where love can be found
But I don't hear the sound of those tears falling down
[ instrumental ]
There's a river that won't forget...
It's your eyes close to mine that lets in the light...

No we don't hear the sound of those tears falling down
No we don't hear the sound

Roses In The Fire

Rosanne Cash

© Chelcait Music, BMI

I throw your roses in the fire to make the flames a little higher
I watch your roses turn to dust I know no man that I can trust
I throw your roses in the fire cause I burn with pity and desire
I'll be your vision dressed in black who won't be back

Another woman's on the telephone
Pick it up tell her you're home
I see your face turn into broken glass
Talking slow thinking fast

I throw your roses in the fire no one could say I didn't try
I watch your roses fall like tears I've crawled this path for all these years
I throw your roses in the fire to burn away the old desire
We were a desperate pair of souls so let me go

Another woman has her point of view
Let her talk now that we're through
I see your face retreat behind the glass
Talking slow thinking fast

Oh I'll kill you if we can't be friends
I'll bleed like diamonds running through your hands
I'll be a bitter taste you can't forget
And I won't leave this world until you relent
[ instrumental ]
I throw your roses on the fire to burn away the old desire
I watch your roses turn to dust I know no man that I can trust
I throw your roses in the fire to make the flames a little higher
I'll be your vision dressed in black who won't be back
I won't be back I won't be back

Fire Of The Newly Alive

Rosanne Cash - John Leventhal

© Chelcait Music, BMI

We are awakened restored and renewed
The bonds of desire have led me to you
The heat of the questions that linger and stir
Is the fire that enfolds us a place to be cured
Salvation and rescue and the one thing of which I am sure

Your hand on my heart and its beating in time
To the sound of your voice and the look in your eyes
The moment you touch me all down inside
Is the fire of the newly alive

The passion of old is a children's quick game
Now it's the sound of the thunder and feel of the flames
You leave a message so deep in my skin
Where you stop is where I begin

Your hand on my heart and its beating in time...
[ instrumental ]
You are the reason the time and the face
I am dissolving in oceans of grace
I'd give up a lifetime to keep you from harm
Be your salvation and rescue and burn bridges to lie in your arms

Your hand on my heart and its beating in time...

If There's A God On My Side

Rosanne Cash

© Chelcait Music, BMI

I walk through the wind the snow and the rain
And no one is there when I fall
The sound of my heartbeat is all I have left me
But you know once I had it all

The prayers of a fool are spoken in haste
And I'm just the one who would know
But I'm sending signals cause I'm falling deeper
Than I though I could go

If there's a God on my side why don't she show me her face
If there's a God on my side could she live in this place
If there's a God on my side is she inside these walls
If there's a God on my side she not hear me call

The tears of the damned are falling on me
And mine are the first to go by
The moon starts to spinning I'm standing frozen
When once I was alive

If there's a God on my side...

And I keep on calling oh I keep on calling

I walk through the wind the snow and the rain...
If there's a God on my side...
