Mama, can I rest my head on your shoulder. Mama, tell me what I'll be when I'm older. . Oh my son you're young enough to wonder. And my son you're old enough to dream.
Whether you are here or yonder,. Whether you are false or true. Whether you remain or wander,. I'm growing fonder of you. Even though your friends forsake you,.
Opened my window in the dead of night. Felt that wind blow, saw the lightning strike. There's more storms comin'. It sure was a sunny day. But there's more storms comin'.
Today I feel a change,. in the way you look at me. And all I have to say. is that I like it. Today I feel a change. In your glowing, loving, chestnut eyes.
Won't somebody tell me. Just what's going on. Won't somebody hear me. I can't do right for wrong. Won't somebody help me. I feel I've come undone. There's something going wrong.
I'll be the one who brings you coffee. When you can't get up. I'll be the one who turns the light out. When you go to sleep. . I'll be the one who turns your stomach.
I remember when I realized. The depth of your beauty for the first time. A million ears had heard you. But none had listened quite like mine. . Every phrase that leaves your lips.
Pardon me. but can I please just ask a stupid question. what is living for?. honestly I'm partially consumed by indirection. and I find I'm wanting more.
When the east wind blows. And the fog rolls in. Out of nowhere, like a ghost. She appears again. Sweetened medicine. Circus in the sky. You've got your relationship.
It's closing time, better head towards home. Please take care, and don't walk alone. They say don't talk to strangers but, we never have met. If it weren't in your reckless nature and, taken my hand.
I get up on Sunday, about eight-fifteen. Just to get the paper that I never read. 'Cause I know she'll be there barely in her robe. Sittin' on her front porch paintin' on her toes.
As a young girl she ran wild. Freely gave herself to men who understood. She lay naked in the sun. Giving birth to what was clear and strong and good.
I just got into LA and I'm sittin on my bag and wondering why. . Why there aint nobody here to meet me. . I wonder why there's no one here to greet me with a kiss and tell me everything's alright.
(VERSE 1). i have been the prodigal. i have been untrue. i have stood for lesser things. when i could've stood for you. call this my confessional. from this moment on.
(Mark Erelli). . My love I see the shadows fill your eyes. Your smile is but a thinly veiled disguise. Could it be you've grown dissatisfied. With me.
The sky went black, the world stopped turning round. As you took my hand and sat me down. Remember how I cried as you broke the news. My best just was not good enough for you.
(Mark Erelli). . I can't waive my hand. And make a blind man see. No I ain't got nothing. Hidden up my sleeve. I can't change. The water to wine. I can't pull you up.
(Mark Erelli). . I climbed out my bedroom window. Shimmied down the tree. Under cover of the darkness. I crept on down the street. She is waiting for my signal.
