Our Little Angel

Pat McManus

© MCA Music, ASCAP

This is the place where I made my best mistakes
This is the place even angels don't understand
I've seen the disappointment in her face
And the collection of engagement rings on her right hand

She sits alone apart from the crowd
In a white dress she wears like a question mark
Friends speak of her fondly
Enemies just think out loud

You think you're man enough to please her
And you're fool enough to start
But you're not gonna do a thing to our little angel
There's nothing you're thinkin' tonight that tomorrow won't change

Now the cabaret is frozen
And the laughter comes in cans
And the lonely hearts club clientele
Don't know what to do with their hands

You think that you'll be sweet to her but everybody knows
That you're the marshmallow valentine that got stuck on her clothes
And you're not gonna do a thing to our little angel
There's nothing you're thinkin' tonight that tomorrow won't change

So you mix your drinks and words
You make bad jokes you make bad time
The floors are there to walk over
The walls are there to climb

You swear you'll never go back again once you're inside
You're never the bridegroom she's always the bride
You're not gonna do a thing to our little angel
There's nothing you're thinkin' tonight that tomorrow won't change

You'll come in a sweetheart and you'll go out a stranger
Well you try to love her but she's so contrary
Like a chainsaw running through a dictionary
So get your mind off the sweet behind of our little angel

You're not gonna do a thing you're not gonna do a thing
You're not gonna do a thing to our little angel

On The Surface

Rosanne Cash - Jimmy Tittle

© Chelcait Music, BMI

On the surface everything seems right no one notices the dimness of the light
For the world outside our door our smiles are oh so bright
On the surface everything's all right
We have the grace of actors on the stage
We orchestrate the moves that complement the play
But the things that we believe in we just throw them away
On the surface everything's okay

We say goodnight and then we close our eyes
To drift in different worlds far from each other's sight
Dreaming of yesterday when we held each other tight
And on the surface everything's all right
What are you thinking tonight I don't know you (I don't know you)
My words disappear in the night and there's no one there to notice
Maybe our lives will never be the same
But we can face tomorrow if we can just get through today
I'm holding back the tears while you're pushing me away
But on the surface everything's okay yeah on the surface everything's okay

All Come True

Karl Wallinger

© MCA Music, ASCAP

Someone was round here asking questions
About someone who looks like you
I said I don't know where you are
Sounded like he was going to be back someday
So I told him where you are

She's making it all come true this time
She's making it all come true this time
She's making it all come true this time
This has not been the first time
This will not be the last
He only knew slow moves in the

She's making it all come true this time
She's making it all come true this time
She's making it all come true this time

Got to find the brightness is the soul
Not look outside to find out where we are
Oh you won't be satisfied
Til you make possessions of the stars

She's making it all come true this time
She's making it all come true this time
She's making it all come true this time

He said that he was gong to be back
I told him where you are

She's making it all work out this time
She's making it all work out this time
She's making it all come true this time

The Wheel

Leroy Preston

© Bug Music, BMI

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
[ guitar ]
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...

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
But 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

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

707

John Kilzer

© Bro'n Sis Music, BMI

Last night awaken from a dream with the headlights blazin' from a train
And the old man leanin' on the throttle and the brakeman passin' round the bottle
That full moon dancin' through the trees that 707 was startin' to breeze
It said
[ guitar ]
so I turned around tried to get back asleep when my ceiling started to creak
and the plaster started to crumble and the dishes stared to tumble
I hit the floor I headed for the door that 707 was starin' to roar
It said
[ guitar ]
So next thing you know I was in the caboose I was rolling dice drinking booze
When my old man blew in like a hurricane Lord have mercy who's drivin' this train

Last night could've sworn I was sleepin' when i woke up their was mud on my feet
And my head was pounding like a driven wheel and I felt things never thought I'd feel
So I pulled back the curtain took the plants that 707 was starin' to dance
It said
[ guitar ]
So next thing you know I was In the caboose I was rolling dice drinking juice
When my old man blew in like a hurricane Lord have mercy who's drivin' this train

Last night awakened from a dream with the headlights blazin' from a train
And the old man leaning on the throttle and the brakeman passin' round the bottle
That full moon dancin' through the trees that 707 was startin' to breeze
It said

Runaway Train

John Stewart

© Bumblebee Music, BMI

I'm worried about you I'm worried about me
The curves around midnight aren't easy to see
Flashing red warnings unseen in the rain
This thing has turned into a runaway train

Long distance phone calls a voice on the line
Electrical miles that soften the time
The dynamite too is hooked on the wire
And so are the rails of American Flyers

Blind boys and gamblers they invented the blues
Will pay up in blood when this marker comes due
To try and get off now it's about as insane
As those who wave lanterns at runaway trains

Steel rails and hard lives are always in twos
I have been here before this and now it's with you

I'm worried about you I'm worried about me
We're lighting the fuses and counting to three
And what are the choices for those who remain
The sign of the cross on a runaway train

This thing has turned into a runaway train
This thing has turned into a runaway train
Our love has turned into a runaway train

I'm Only Sleeping

John Lennon - Paul McCartney

© Maclen Music, BMI

When I wake up early in the morning
Lift my head I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed float upstream

Please don't wake me no don't shake me
Leave me where I am I'm only sleeping

Everybody seems to think I'm lazy
I don't mind I think they're crazy
Running everywhere at such a speed
Till they find there's no need

Please don't spoil my day I'm miles away
And after all I'm only sleeping

Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time
Lying there and staring at the ceiling
Waiting for a sleepy feeling

Please don't spoil my day I'm miles away
And after all I'm only sleeping

Keeping an eye on the world going by my window
Taking my time

When I wake up early in the morning
Lift my head I'm still yawning
When I'm in the middle of a dream
Stay in bed float upstream

Please don't wake me no don't shake me
Leave me where I am I'm only sleeping

It Hasn't Happened Yet

John Hiatt

© Bumblebee Music, BMI

You said that I would be sorry if you went away
You said I wouldn't be happy without hell to pay
You said the teardrops would fall between the bedroom walls
You said that I would regret but it hasn't happened yet

Your friends come over and offer to take me to eat
They seem so sorry I'm sufferin' so much misery
They say to just give a call next time that I start to crawl
I always say yeah you bet but it hasn't happened yet

I don't have anyone I'm havin' fun
Nobody's into me no one's a mystery
I see you on the street my heart don't miss a beat
Love and hostility don't mean a thing to me

I find it hard to remember the good times we had
Call me insensitive now that it's over I'm glad
You said when big shadows fell it would be too hard to tell
My life from your silhouette but it hasn't happened yet
Don't hold your breath baby

On The Inside

Rosanne Cash

© Chelcait Music, BMI

We crawled night and day through the tears and debries
Now I'm reaching out to you but I'm keeping my hands clean
The tables are turning the tempo slows down
And we're gettin' off this misery-go-round
It's a brand new world baby now things have changed
A brand new picture in a brand new frame
A turn of the page with a blink of your eye
Our two steps in rhythm our hearts beatin' time
On the inside it all happened on the inside it all went down on the inside

A critical moment I know you'd agree both of us separate but neither one free
We traded our papers for new walking shoes
But I had no idea how I'd feel without you
We watched it unravel we heard it unwind imprisoned by anger embittered by time
No one could tell me we'd be standing here today
Steeled by the fire and sealed by the pain
On the inside it all happened on the inside it all went down on the inside

I'm holding on to you and I know you're holding on to me too
We gave it one more chance and found the key to romance
Now none of it happens like we think it should be
Hey it'd all be disaster if left up to me
By the power of love and protection divine
We found we hold hands through the darkness and then there was light
On the inside it all happened on the inside it all went down on the inside
On the inside it all happened on the inside it all went down on the inside

What We Really Want

Rosanne Cash

© Chelcait Music, BMI

We tried to make ourselves pay
For something we'd never done
Threw the best parts of life away
On street talk strangers and drugs
But what we really want is love
What we really need is love

I want to call out your name
I want to hold out my hand
The woman silent in the mirror tonight
Wants to talk to your mirror man
And what they really want is love
What they really need is love

We are ships in the night
The water's deep in between
The air is freezing and we can't find the light
So we sail off into our dreams
But what we really dream is love
What we really need is love

What we want is love
What we need is love

I tried to make it feel right
In someone else's world
I sat and looked out my window last night
And knew that things had changed for this girl
Cause what I really found is love
What I really feel is love

What we want is love
What we need is love

I Count The Tears

Doc Pomus - Mort Shuman

© Unichappell Music, BMI

Na na na na na na late at night
Na na na na na na late at night
I sit and count the tears

I have counted every day since you've been away
It seems like a thousand years

And at na na na na na na late at night
Na na na na na na late at night
I sit and count the tears

And I have counted all your lies all your alibis
Now I'm a girl believes just what she hears

And at na na na na na na late at night
Na na na na na na late at night
I sit and count the tears

He's gone and found somebody new
She may be happy now but soon
She'll be counting every day that he's been away
And it will seem like a thousand years

And at na na na na na na late at night
Na na na na na na late at night
She'll sit and count the tears

She'll sit and count the tears
She'll sit and count the tears

Na na na na na na late at night
Na na na na na na late at night
Na na na na na na late at night
Na na na na na na late at night

Pink Bedroom

John Hiatt

© Bumblebee Music, BMI

She paints her fingernails forbidden tones
She wants nervous youth on the telephone
He don't call
She sticks another pin
In her doll
And puts it next to her stuffed animals

She got the tube top she got the french heels
She got the blow dry she got her eyes peeled
She got the tight jeans seventeen magazine
She got it all she got it all
She got it all in her pink bedroom

She thinks all her boyfriends are so dumb
She drinks coca cola with valium
Mother calls
She sticks another pin
In her doll
And lets those fingers talk her into it

She got the lip gloss she got the short shorts
She got her records and they're all imports
She got her good looks she got her yearbook
She got it all she got it all
She got it all in her pink bedroom

They say they got her future down at the desk
Now they're drawing blood for the grown-up test
Something crawls
Beneath her lily skin
And her doll
Is so relieved she's lost her innocence

It was a teen game now we're serious
It's all customized don't get curious
She got her pension and your attention
She got it all she got it all
She got it all in her pink bedroom

Seventh Avenue

Rosanne Cash - John Leventhal

© Chelcait Music, BMI

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 waht 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...
[ guitar ]
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

Lover Is Forever

Steve Goodman - Fred Knobloch

© Colgems Music, ASCAP

I think I understand
The reason you won't stay with me
You think a ring upon your hand
Will solve your insecurity

So go ahead and play your games
If that's what you must do
Nothing here remains the same
But the way I feel for you

I can watch you walk away
And I know that I'll get by
And I know just what to say
But honey I can't tell a lie

So figure out what you must do
I know you think you're so damn clever
You can marry any time you want
But a lover is forever

I can watch you walk away
And I know that I'll get by
And I know just what to say
But honey I can't tell a lie

Figure out what you must do
I know you think you're so damn clever
You can marry any time you want
But a lover is forever

You can marry any time you want
But a lover is forever
