Time to be kind, time for the heart.
Would you be mine, life is so hard.
Say if you bleed, I’ll be your scar.
Just let me be, be where you are.
Someday you and me,
Maybe we’ll be, deep in our own.
With nothing to hide, touching the sky,
Like stars.
What can I do, to change what I am?
Change what you see, to make me your man.
Playing with hearts, you keep what you’ve found.
Love is the card, that’s hard to lay down.
Someday you and me,
Maybe we’ll be, deep in our own.
With nothing to hide, touching the sky,
Like stars.

Well the winter nights in Charlevoix
Got a bit too cold for me
But I was told the lie
That I’d been brought up right
And I believe that I should be free
But the nights on Lake Ontario
Took what was left of me
But I believed the lie
That I’d been brought up right
And I believed that I should be free
But I disconnected my landline
And sold all o’ my shit to Todd Levine
But now I realize
That I was wrong to think that I wouldn’t need ya
To blow me back home tonight
I was listening to the moon tonight
And she explained to me
That you weren’t told a lie
And that you’d been brought up right
And you would always long to be free
So maybe motor on to Montreal
And forget that you knew me
Cuz I’ve heard all yer lies
And I am not surprised
That I will find you crawlin’ back to me
So run yer rig up on the shore
And wait for a message in a bottle
Like you done before
And send up all o’ yer flares
And you can mention my name
When you say your prayers
But I won’t hear ya
And I won’t blow ya back home tonight
But you got to know if I return
The sky’ll grow dark
And the rain’s gonna burn ya
So butter up yer spar tonight
Cuz I might make a mess of yer sheets
Cuz I might wanna bite ya
But you know I need ya
I guess I’ll blow you back home tonight
Let’s break another bottle
On the bow tonight
And set the headin’ for home
With the sheets pulled tight
Be sure to pull the anchor out
And be sure to let me know
When yer comin’ about
Because you know I need ya
And I know you’d blow me
Back home tonight

Why didn’t you try
How could you let go so easily
Wasn’t I worth the fight
A little trouble comes along and you let trouble have it’s way
Don’t you know that love’s s’posed to conquer all
Guess you never had that kind of fate
And your apathy feels like hate
Don’t you know that love’s s’posed to conquer all
Guess you never had that kind of fate
And your apathy feels like hate
Yeah your apathy feels like hate
Yeah your apathy feels like hate
Valentines beware
Of a certain kind of fair-weather lover
He’ll pretend to be there
But the winds start a-crashin’ and the north winds blow, he’ll be gone
Don’t you know that love’s s’posed to conquer all
Guess you never had that kind of fate
And your apathy feels like hate
Don’t you know that love’s s’posed to conquer all
Guess you never had that kind of fate
And your apathy feels like hate
Yeah your apathy feels like hate
Yeah your apathy feels like hate
Don’t fall for fake
Don’t jump a train that’s goin’ nowhere
Don’t manipulate
Slow down, look around, get to know the town you’re in
Don’t you know that love’s s’posed to conquer all
I still lookin’ for a man with fate
With no apathy and no hate
With no apathy and no hate
With no apathy and no hate

Mean Reds

Cold, steel-laid plans
You’re warm in my hands
Strange but safe your eyes spoke
The more I held you down
Sharp, clear moment
Flushed with red and steam
I raised you up as I took you down
Squeezin’ you’re so stiff
Lay your head down, lady
Homeward bound, now, baby
Ease your body as I take you down
You catch my sex underneath
Put my baby down to sleep
Love falls down to the ground
So flies on without a sound
Catch your sweat underneath
Put my baby down to sleep
Love falls down to the ground
So flies on without a sound
Before I held you down
Before I held you down
The more you held me down
The more we hold us down
You catch my sex underneath
Put my baby down to sleep
Love falls down to the ground
So flies on without a sound
Catch your sweat underneath
Put my baby down to sleep
Love falls down to the ground
So flies on without a sound

Walk up to your door and I see
Heart falls to the floor and I know
That this is all a dream
Seems to float away but then I find
You’re everywhere in everything
And your love seems frozen in time
Seems so cold without you
I am cold without you
Faces in the pictures on the wall
Memories of everything seem to fall
Never fades with disappearing time
I’m everywhere in everything
And your love grows with mine (mine)
Seems so cold without you
I am cold without you
And just like your eyes I’m turnin’ blue
Open up the door my love
Appreciate your every way you’re an angel from above
Cyclical motion return to me
We’re everywhere in everything
I can’t believe
So cold without you
I am cold without you
I am cold without you

Ruby Red

Flowers and chocolates
Are fine for girls like her I guess
But I need a little bit more flesh
Some meat upon the bone
Not like those things aren’t grand
Dancing, starlight, waves on sand
But I need a special woman
To really bring things home
Little girls bring playthings for the floor
But I need flames the that have to soar
My love is ruby red
It’s warm and sweet like chocolate bread
The kind that goes right to your head
And never lets you go
My love is ruby red
It’s warm and sweet like chocolate bread
The kind that goes right to your head
And never lets you go
My love is ruby red…
(His love is ruby red…)
My love is ruby red…
(His love is ruby red…)
My love is ruby red…
(His love is ruby red…)
My love is ruby red…

Sometimes love
Sometimes love
It don’t mean nothin’
Sometimes love
Sometimes love
It don’t mean nothin’
But nothin’ means the world to me
Like you do
Darlin’ it’s you
Once in life
Once in life
You might find someone
Once in life
Once in life
You might find someone
Someone to help you make it through
Make it through
Darlin’ it’s you
Love
It don’t mean nothin’
Love
It don’t mean nothin’
It don’t mean nothin’
Sometimes love
Sometimes love
It don’t mean nothin’
Sometimes love
Sometimes love
It don’t mean nothin’

Like you do
Darlin’ it’s you
Darlin’ it’s you
Darlin’ it’s you
Darlin’ it’s you

Y♡u Were With Me
03:42
|

Ice skates, frozen rings upon the lake
Fire’s burnin’ in the hearth, catchin’ snowflakes
Feelin’ your presence
Under this crescent
I could have missed you but
You were here with me
I could have missed you but
You were here with me
Leaves are fallin’ and I see the colors change
There’s a bit of frost, your heart don’t seem so strange
Feelin’ your presence
Under this crescent
I could have missed you but
You were here with me
I could have missed you but
You were here with me
Fireflies, summer days never end
Campfires, singin’ songs, remember when
Feelin’ your presence
Under this crescent
I could have missed you but
You were here with me
I could have missed you but
You were here with me
Icy chill now slowly fades away
Newborn colors replace the cold and grey
Feelin’ your presence
Under this crescent
I could have missed you but
You were here with me
I could have missed you but
You were here with me
You were here with me

Hard Time L♡vin’ Y♡u
03:11
|

I love it when you talk behind my back
I love it when the car falls off the jack
The slow driver in the fast lane
Nothing beats a good ankle sprain
I love it when I trip and fall
When there’s no paper in the stall
I love it when I drop my glass
Or when my car runs out of gas
Good things are easy to love
But I can love the bad things too
I try so hard to love everything
But I’m havin’ a hard time lovin’ you
Yes, I’m havin’ a hard time lovin’ you
I love it when I can’t sleep at night
I love being wrong when we fight
I love it when I must go straight to jail
I love it when all I get is junk mail
I love the line at the DMV
I love it when everything is blamed on me
I love these things though cold and unforgiving
At least they let me know that I’m still living
Good things are easy to love
But I can love the bad things too
I try so hard to love everything
But I’m havin’ a hard time lovin’ you
Yes, I’m havin’ a hard time lovin’ you
Good things are easy to love
But I can love the bad things too
I try so hard to love everything
But I’m havin’ a hard time lovin’ you
Yes, I’m havin’ a hard time lovin’ you
Havin’ a hard time lovin’ you

Janie used to say, man in this town
You can hear broken love lying on the ground
Thirty-seven people on a merry-go-round
Changing partners every week
Come that day when I leave this burg
I’ll scream obscenities and flip the bird
At every stupid sucker who dreamed they’d heard
Their hometown song of love
Just take one look in the storefront there
If you question any word I say
Second hand shops crammed to the rafters
With love that’s gone astray
Wedding gowns with their hemlines stained
Ever so lightly in cheap champagne
Half-price dreams from the resale shop of love
Just take one look in the storefront there
If you question any word I say
Second hand shops crammed to the rafters
With love that’s gone astray
Wedding gowns with their hemlines stained
Ever so lightly in cheap champagne
Half-price dreams from the resale shop of love
St. Vinny DePaul’s changing room stalls
Know every story in this town
And on display in the window today
There’s a red tag fire sale on (on-on-on!)
Wedding gowns with hemlines stained
Ever so lightly in cheap champagne
Half-price dreams from the resale shop of love
Half-price dreams from the resale shop of love
Oh, half-price dreams from the resale shop of love

Razor’s edge and little deaths
Are bleeding into one
In the dark we found our spark
Our shadows become one
Break my heart
Or take my love
Break my heart
Or take my love
Comets tails all stars aligned
The future has begun
Together walking backwards
As we stare into the sun
Break my heart
Or take my love
Break my heart
Or take my love
If you’re going to break my heart
Then go on and do your stuff
But if you’re in for real then
Go on and take my love
Sticks and stones and broken bones
Are all likely outcomes
Baby’s breath and dragon’s tails
The circle’s come undone
Break my heart
Or take my love
Break my heart
Or take my love
Break my heart
Or take my love

You got money
That can’t do no harm
You got the looks, baby
And a certain kind of charm
Yeah, you got your good points
In fact, quite a few
You could get a big head, baby
If you only knew
When I am happy
Then you’re happy too
And whenever I’m sad, baby
You know what I’d want you to do
I think I could really
Really fall hard for you
Yeah, I could fall hard, baby
If you only knew
If you only knew
If you only knew
Baby on you I could get stuck
If you only knew
If you only knew
If you only knew how to
I know I can trust you
And that sure means a lot
And you seem to appreciate the woman you’ve got
Baby, you could trust me
Yeah, you could trust me too
Maybe you could trust me
If you only knew
If you only knew
If you only knew
Man, you might have better luck
If you only knew
Yeah I could be true
If you only knew how to
When I left your room at the Hilton last night
I bet you’re wondering where I went
You wouldn’t believe me if I told you
I spent the night in a tent
It’s not my job to wise you up
If you don’t have a clue
But hey, do you think I like camping
If you only knew
If you only knew
If you only knew
That luxury suite wouldn’t totally suck
If you only knew
If you only knew
If you only knew how to
Oh baby
If you only knew how to
Oh baby
If you only knew how to
Don’t make me fuckin’ say it

Here T♡ Mexic♡
05:14
|

I was foolish to let you go
But I guess I was scared
Of the distance from here to Mexico
You say you’re back now
In this quiet town
But it doesn’t feel like the time
To start again
No warning signs
That I’d be left behind
Thought I was yours and you were mine
I just keep losing sleep
Walking down these dead end streets
All these endings before their time
…But I need to let you go
Time is not on our side
We just hope for the best
As we pass like ships in the night
Tried to weather the storm
But the winds of change
Have sent us off to
Separate shores
No warning signs
That I’d be left behind
Thought I was yours and you were mine
I just keep losing sleep
Walking down these dead end streets
All these endings before their time
…But I need to let you go

Been up all night, countin’ my tears
Been singin’ the blues but there’s no one to hear
Tryin’ to pick myself up, don’t know what to do
Been feelin’ so lonely, how ‘bout you?
When I come home to a house full of no one
An empty feeling washes over me
All this space with no one to share it
Bein’ lonely’s so hard, baby wouldn’t you agree?
It just makes sense that we console each other
Tonight I wanna be your lover
If we’re gonna to be lonely, let’s be lonely together
It just makes sense that we console each other
Tonight I wanna be your lover
If we’re gonna to be lonely, let’s be lonely together
Here at the bar now for a couple of hours
I can see your sadness from across the room
I looked at you and I knew you were lonely
I came in alone, but I’ll be leavin’ with you
It just makes sense that we console each other
Tonight I wanna be your lover
If we’re gonna to be lonely, let’s be lonely together
It just makes sense that we console each other
Tonight I wanna be your lover
If we’re gonna to be lonely, let’s be lonely together
It just makes sense that we console each other
Tonight I wanna be your lover
If we’re gonna to be lonely, let’s be lonely together
It just makes sense that we console each other
Tonight I wanna be your lover
If we’re gonna to be lonely, let’s be lonely together
If we’re gonna be lonely, let’s be lonely together
If we’re gonna be lonely, let’s be lonely together

I set a course for liberation
On the road to higher faith
Leaving the fires miles behind
And the ghosts of California
Just fade away
Ask and you shall receive
Yeah, you can go my way
I can’t hide these highway eyes
Hush little drifter I already know your name
Cuz I never met a lover that I didn’t loathe
Cuz I could never fall in love, girl, I just fall
Hangin’ on for the ride, hangin’ on by a hair
We’re going to the same place but you gonna beat me there
Cuz I never met a lover that I didn’t loathe
Cuz I could never fall in love, girl, I just fall (x2)
Ghosts of California
Ghosts of California
Ghosts of California
I just fall
I just fall

Looks like the water is kissing the sky
Black lace over golden sunset
Facing the east, the moon will be my guide
Behind me the memories of when we met
Before the night comes, there is only one star in the dusk
There is no twilight between the worlds
Our golden love now has turned to rust
Solitude is mine as the night unfurls
There was a world together, now there’s a world apart
The moon will be my guide with its ever changin’ heart
When she shines her light, I will know just what to do
Even though I feel I can’t find my way I know that it ain’t true
Moonlight healing
Moonlight healing
Navy night now is falling all around me
The stars are poking through this earth-bound ceiling
This soul of mine has been naïve
I bathe my broken heart in moonlight healing
There was a world together, now there’s a world apart
The moon will be my guide with its ever changin’ heart
When she shines her light, I will know just what to do
Even though I feel I can’t find my way, I know that it ain’t true
Moonlight healing
Moonlight healing
Moonlight healing
Moonlight healing

If love
If love could make you stay
If hearts could never say goodbye
If dreams could never die
Then you
You would always be
Here to share each memory
Until the end of time
And now
Now that you’re near
Just hold me close
In your arms
The love
All of your love
I promise to keep
Here in my heart
And you
You will always be
The starlight in the open sky
Shining down on me
The starlight in the open sky
Shining down on me
