Friendly people
But I can’t make out all the words
Melodies so sweet through all the trees
From different birds
All around me
Sights and sounds and songs I’ve never heard
Swearing I’ll be back again
One more week might do me in

And I stop to catch my breath
On the slippery steps of Angouleme
And with my little finger
Across the town I write your name

I can’t stop drinking the wine
Can’t stop counting the days
A world apart, an ocean away
Just loving you baby
Sittin’ here, loving you
From this little French cafe

Oh, yeah
Turn the bed down, baby
Pray that jumbo plane’s gonna bring me back
Got roses and bazaracs
Six Bordeauxs all in a sack
We may know some scrapes
But some things we won’t ever lack
All the fields of Beaujolais
Couldn’t buy you anyway
Couldn’t buy you babe

Oh
And I stop to catch my breath
On the mighty steps of Angouleme
And with my little finger
Across the town I write your name

I can’t stop drinking the wine
I can’t stop counting the days
A world apart, an ocean away
Just loving you baby
Sittin’ here, loving you
From this little French

All the oysters in Marennes
Whole French army and Charles de Gaulle
A million Francs wouldn’t phase me at all
From loving you baby
Sittin’ here loving you
From this little French cafe
Sittin’ here loving you
From this little French cafe

Staring out the window
Watching the world go by
Oh
Sometimes it’s as if God
Takes too long
Why don’t I just take my own life?

But then my better sense kicks in
Sit back and take a breath
Why am I thinking like that?
I’m only thinking of myself

Slow down, boy
Relax
Momentary setback
Don’t take it so fast
Slow down boy
Relax
You’ll make it back
Quick, fast, in a hurry

Standing at the water’s edge
As my dreams float by
Ooh
I can’t remember a time
When anything went right
I might just keep stepping on
Into the river’s arms open wide

But I’ll hang on and ride
Suicide
Pray the night
Every life is a gift
Holy light
Sanctify

Slow down boy, relax
Momentary setback
Don’t take it so fast
Slow down boy, relax
You’ll make it back
Quick fast in a hurry

Slow down boy [x3]

Slow down boy [x3]

Slow down boy, relax
Momentary setback
Don’t take it so fast
Slow down boy
Relax
You’ll make it back
Quick, fast, in a hurry

Cast my eyes towards the sky
Looking down on me
So far all I’ve seen are clouds
But I’m not gonna let ‘em get me down

No way
No how
Not ever
Not now

There’s gotta be more here
Than what I see
There’s gotta be more here
Than what I see

Walking down the road again
One step at a time
So far all I’ve seen are stop signs
But I’m not gonna let ‘em get me this time

My life
Keep my head high
Yeah

There’s gotta be more here
Than what I see
There’s gotta be more here
Than what I see

Are those the clouds of my mind that hide the stars?
Will I ever find the road that leads me home again?
Does it seem so far
From looking way to hard
Now I know my heart is where my searching all begins

High low is where I stand
Looking for the man in charge
High low is where I stand
Looking for the man in charge
High low is where I stand
Looking for the man in charge
High and low is where I search
But you know that I didn’t have to look this far

I believe there’s more here to see
Oh yeah
I believe there’s more here to see
‘Cause the dirt has been wiped away from my eyes and
I know what I’m supposed to be
There’s got to be more [x5]

Stoplights turn into skylines
And my mind turns to you
Two hundred miles behind
Off to this roadside dive
Wondering how this cup of coffee’s gonna see me through
But this has been our story, some sad song
Ever since the day, the day you came along

[Chorus]
It’s a lonely night in Georgia
And everything I do reminds me of being with you
It’s a lonely night, but I’ll be alright
‘Cause I’m comin’ on home, comin’ on home to you

Skylines turn into stoplights
Another town, another crowd
When all the peoples gone home
I’m left all alone, with nothin’ but you to think about

But this has been our story
I know you’ve heard it all before
‘Cause every time I come home
You know I’m right back out that door

[Chorus]

The warmth of your body though these tall olden pines
The sound of your heartbeat brings your skin to mine
Yours peach kisses ripened by your southern sun smile
Now my senses are heightened with the last hundred miles

[Chorus]

I gotta little thing comonna kaya
Cool sheets, real fine, lay me down in the hot july
I wish I may, I wish I might be next to you every night
No phone, no sir, don’t wanna be disturbed
Just me, just her, speak without using words
Learning her every curve

[Chorus]
There ain’t nothing like sleepin late on a Saturday
Waking my to see my baby’s face
You know I wouldn’t wanna have it
Have it any other way
Cause it’s my favorite, sleeping late on a Saturday
She’s the kind of girl that any man would fancy
But she’s mine all mine, one of a kind
Her beauty so devine

This chance, romance, baby I cancelled all my plans
Just me, just you, whatever we want to do
I’m so into you

[Chorus]

Since Monday I ain’t thought of nothing but
Being right there with you
(Ooh I just want to be with you my baby)
Come Friday I can’t wait
You’re my special one, make me come undone
It’s so much fun

[Chorus]

My God, my God
Why have you forsaken me?
I cannot find the light
And I’m constantly running from thee

My God, my God
Help me find the way
Back to your loving arms

Oh you are the way, the truth and the life
Burn over me
Lord send your might
Oh I can do nothing without you
With your strength
This dark night I’ll get through
I’ll get through

My God, my God
Heal this sin-stained soul
I give my life to you
Take me and make me whole

My God, my God
I’m lost and so alone
Drowning in a sea of desolation
Help me find
Help me find my way back home

Oh you are the way, the truth and the life
Burn over me
Lord send your might
Oh I can do nothing without you
With your strength
This dark night I’ll get through
I’ll get through

My God, my God, my God
I know you’re not forsaking me
But I cannot find the light
And I’m
And I’m constantly running from thee

My God, my God
I’m lost and so alone
Drowning in a sea of desolation
Help me find
Help me find my way back home
My God

Oh you are the way, the truth and the life
Burn over me
Lord send your might
Oh I can do nothing without you
With your strength
This dark night I’ll get through
I’ll get through

When you life gets too complicated
Gotta let the music (music, music)
Get down in your soul
Forget all your frustrations
And let the music (music, music)
Get down in your soul

Get on up my brother (get on up, get on up)
And let the music get down in your soul
Get on up my sister (get on up, get on up)
And let the music get down in your soul

Everyday ain?t gonna be sunny
Gotta let the music (music, music)
Get down in your soul
Life ain?t filled with milk and honey, no
Gotta let the music (music, music)

Get on up my brother (get on up, get on up)
And let the music get down in your soul
Get on up my sister (get on up, get on up)
And let the music get down in your soul

Thing?s ain?t as bad as they may seem
But you can?t find reality living in a dream
The strength you need
You had it all the time
You?ll find the answer in the back of your mind

Get on up my brother (get on up, get on up)
And let the music get down in your soul
Get on up my sister (get on up, get on up)
And let the music get down in your soul

But you can?t find reality living in a dream
The strength you need
You had it all the time
You?ll find the answer in the back of your mind

Get on up my brother (get on up, get on up)
And let the music get down in your soul
Get on up my sister (get on up, get on up)
And let the music get down in your soul (X2)

Forget all your frustration
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come move
Yeah move
Come on
Get on up yeah and move your feet
Come on girl and do it with me

Get on up, get on up
And let this music get down in your soul (Repeat ?til fade)

I could bless the water
But it wouldnt turn to wine
Paint a picture of the sunset
Hanging there in your eyes
But it’d just be some compromise

I could write a million verses
Every word youve heard before
Steal some of dylans best
But it’d leave me wanting to say more
Cause theres so much more

Baby if you could love somone like me
Theres no end to the possibility
Hopes and dreams push away the pain and regret
But loving you just lets me know
There might be hope for me yet
Hope for me yet

Sometimes when I look back
I dont even know myself
It blows my mind to think that ive found grace in someone else
Baby your grace is something else

Baby if you could love somone like me
There’s no end to the possibility
Hopes and dreams push away the pain and regret
But loving you just lets me know
There might be hope for me yet

For a man whos done nothing
I’ve been blessed with so much more than i deserve
I’m smart enough to know that ive been handed something
Can’t put a price on what its worth

Baby if you could love somone like me
Theres no end to the possibility
Hopes and dreams push away the pain and regret
But loving you just lets me know
There might be hope for me yet
Hope for me yet
Hope for me yet

Why did it have to end so soon?
Why did you go away?
Although I know it may never come true
I hope to see you someday

And I’ll always remember
Those times that we shared
So if you’re listening from up above
This is my prayer

You’ve brought so much joy to this world of mine
Whenever I needed you came
A friend like you is so hard to find
Without you it won’t be the same

And though many will try
No one can ever compare
So if you’re listening from up above
This is my prayer

May the mountains rise to meet you
May the skies open wide
Know that in my heart, my friend
You will always be alive

There are so many things that I want you to know
So many words to say
And when He finally calls me home
I’ll walk with you through those gates

So please remember me
Oh I promise I’ll see you up there
I hope you’re listening from up above
This is my prayer

May the mountains rise to meet you
May the skies open wide
Know that in my heart my friend
You will always be alive

May the angels fly to greet you
You can see it all from up there
I know you’re listening from up above
‘Cause this is, and will always be, my prayer
My prayer
My prayer

I wish you freedom
I wish you peace
I wish you nights of stars
That beckon you to sleep
I wish you heartache
That leaves you more of a man?
I wish I could be there
But I can’t

I wish you places
That sit so still
Where people never ever change
and Never ever will
I wish I could hold you
And make you understand
I wish I could be there
But I can’t

Be good for your mama
Cause she’ll need a hand to hold
Boy, she loves you
More than you’ll ever know
There are rhymes and there are reasons
And times when nothing stayed the same
But you know my love still remains

I wish you wisdom
I wish you years
I wish you armies
To conquer all your fears
I wish you courage for all that life demands
I wish I could be there
But I can’t

Be good for your mama
Cause she’ll need a hand to hold
Boy, she loves you
More than you’ll ever know
There are rhymes and there are reasons
And times when nothing stayed the same
But you know my love still remains

I wish we were together
I wish I was home
I wish there were nights
Where I was never alone
I know I’ve said it
But I’ll say it once again
I wish I could be there
But I can’t
