Price Of Temptation

Standing on the edge of tonight
Don't know if I'll fall or fly
But that's the price you pay for temptation
There's no other way through temptation
That's the price you pay

I'll let the rivers cry through my eyes
Watch myself go crazy with desire
But that's the price you pay for temptation
There's no other way through temptation
That's the price you pay

God says here's a lesson and a kiss
You can walk though fire or crawl through this
But that's the price you pay for temptation
There's no other way through temptation
That's the price you pay

If I Were A Man

If I were a man I'd be so sweet
I'd give me everything I need
I'd be so glad to go this deep
If I were a man

If I were the moon I'd hang so low
I'd bring sweet love to all below
I wouldn't change and hurt you so
If I were the moon

Well it goes on and on forever
and there's just no way to know
I can change just like the weather
I'm solid as a stone

If I were the wind I'd blow and shout
I'd clean our souls and bodies out
I'd shake the memories from this house
If I were the wind

If I were God I guess I'd know
I guess my friend's would tell me so
It would be a heavy line to tow
If I were God

Well it goes on and on forever
and there's just no way to know
I can change just like the weather
I'm as solid as a stone

Well it goes on and on forever
and there's just no way to know
I can change just like the weather
I'm as solid as a stone

If I were a man I'd be so sweet
I'd give me everything I need
I'd be so glad to this deep
I'd change the way the whole world thinks
If I were a manif I were a man

The Summer I Read Collette

That was the summer that followed the spring
The sad anniversary of a thousand old things
I was letting them go

The words of Collette and a strange new perfume
The drenching my senses and filling the room
The heat from my body is the light in our eyes
Word is surrender and then we can fly
We were letting it go

We're blinded to the beauty in our own lives
The hours taken are all that that I could get
For five or six hours in the month of July
The summer I read Collette

The times were align and we learnt how to crawl
The bones were prison and memory of old
A word from the past I feel nothing at all
And now I'm letting it go

It's more than survival the lesson I've learnt
When I found salvation quite a surprise
That was the summer that followed the spring
A new way of feeling a million and one things

We're blinded to the beauty in our own lives...

I found Paris a hundred years late
Calling it sleeping in Pere Lachaise
My ear to the stone I can hear her sayin' nous nous reveillons

I sold my silver to get myself there
To a room with a candle up three flights of stairs
That was the summer I let it all go
Fillin' my body with my heart and soul

We're blinded to the beauty in our own lives...

I was taking all I can get
For five or six hours in the month of July
The summer I read Collette

Western Wall

I stand here by the western wall
Maybe a little of that wall stands inside of us all
I shove my prayers in the cracks
I got nothing to lose no one to answer back

All these years I've brought up for review
I wasn't taught this but I learned something new
I had to answer a distant call

At the western wall I've got a heart full of fear
And I offer it up on this altar of tears
Red dust settles deep in my skin
I don't know where it stops and where I begin

It's a crumbling pile of broken stones
It ain't much but it might be home
if I ever loved a place at all it's the western wall

I don't know if God was ever a man
But if she was I think I understand
Why he found a place to break his fall
Near the western wall

Bells And Roses

Rosanne Cash

Everything was mine but it's long stripped away
I stand here naked as the stars and silent as a grave
If you see who I really am or you still wanna stay
There's a danger in this love and I wanna be that grave

Bells and roses a sign of departure
But I love them just the same
Bells and roses a sign of survival
On the door into this pain

Now I'll go and if you say I must but I rather let it go
The people I will never trust and the things that I can't know
Kiss you until we turn to stone I'll fight you till we're blind
But you love me when you're left alone and it makes me wanna die

Bells and roses if they wake up the senses to remind me who I am
Bells and roses the gifts of the spirit shall not be squandered on one man

Everything was mine but it's long stripped away
Will you love me if I'm naked or I'm silent as a grave
You don't have to answer now but you might learn to pray
And I'll step down off this cross into a life that I can change

Bells and roses they fill up the silence...

Bells and roses
Bells and roses

List Of Burdens

Rosanne Cash

I'm coming home today to hear the trucks roar
And lock my front door and stare into your face
Coming home today to sleep in my bed
And clear round my head and wander round this place

So don't put my love on your list of burdens
When I'm bringing it home to you
Don't put my love on your list of burdens
Cause I'm bringing it home to you

I walked around this world bathed in neon
And needing no one empty and disturbed
You ran around this world It nearly killed me
But you can fill me till I cry like a little girl

So don't put my love on your list of burdens...

If I can just get there
Lay the whole damn world at your feet
I'd do anything to please you baby
To save yourself for me

So don't put my love on your list of burdens...
So don't put my love on your list of burdens...
So don't put my love on your list of burdens...

Child Of Steel

Rosanne Cash

I'd give a lifetime baby to see you smile
If you could give your troubles over for just a little while
And look at the truth it's right here staring at you
Oh angels bow when you walk by
And the rest of us here have always known why

Cause the soul takes it's blows and it does not re-veal
And the heart opens slow and it takes time to heal
But you can let go It'll all turn to gold
My sweet child of steel

And I watch you walk through fire when clear water runs near
I watch your heart break open wide a heart I hold so dear
But look at the truth it could burn a hole right through you
Oh angels bow and cover their eyes
And the rest of us here could just break down and cry

Cause the soul takes it's blows and it does not reveal
And the heart opens slow and it takes time to heal
But you can let go It'll all turn to gold
My sweet child of steel

Cause the soul takes it's blows and it does not reveal...
My sweet child of steel
