- Come Away With Me
Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song
Come away with me on a bus
Come away where they can’t tempt us, with their lies
And I want to walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high
So won’t you try to come
Come away with me and we’ll kiss
On a mountaintop
Come away with me
And I’ll never stop loving you
And I want to wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While I’m safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night
Come away with me
- Don’t Know Why
I waited ’til I saw the sun
I don’t know why I didn’t come
I left you by the house of fun
I don’t know why I didn’t come
I don’t know why I didn’t come
When I saw the break of day
I wished that I could fly away
Instead of kneeling in the sand
Catching teardrops in my hand
My heart is drenched in wine
But you’ll be on my mind
Forever
Out across the endless sea
I would die in ecstasy
But I’ll be a bag of bones
Driving down the road alone
My heart is drenched in wine
But you’ll be on my mind
Forever
Something has to make you run
I don’t know why I didn’t come
I feel as empty as a drum
I don’t know why I didn’t come
I don’t know why I didn’t come

- Cold Cold Heart
I’ve tried so hard my dear to show
That you’re my every dream
Yet you’re afraid each thing I do
Is just some evil scheme
A memory from your lonesome past
Keeps us so far apart
Why can’t I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart
Another love before my time
Made your heart sad an’ blue
And so my heart is paying now
For things, I didn’t do
In anger, unkind words are said
That make the teardrops start
Why can’t I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart
There was a time when I believed
That you belonged to me
But now I know your heart is shackled
To a memory
The more I learn to care for you
The more we drift apart
Why can’t I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart, ah, ah
- Broken
He’s got a broken voice and a twisted smile
Guess he’s been that way now for quite a while
He’s got blood on his shoes and mud on his brim
Did he do it to himself or was it done to him?
Now people say that he don’t look well
But all he needs from what I can tell
Is someone to help wash away all the paint
From his purple hands before it gets too late
I saw him stand alone under a broken street light
So sincere, singing silent night
But the trees, they were full and the grass was green
It was the sweetest thing I had ever seen
He may move slow
But that don’t mean he’s going nowhere
He may be moving slow
But that don’t mean he’s going nowhere
- Sunrise
Sunrise, sunrise
Looks like mornin’ in your eyes
But the clock’s held 9:15 for hours
Sunrise, sunrise
Couldn’t tempt us if it tried
‘Cause the afternoon’s already come and gone
And I said
Hoo, ooh, ooh, ooh
Hoo, ooh, ooh, ooh
Hoo, ooh, ooh, ooh
To you
Surprise, surprise
Couldn’t find it in your eyes
But I’m sure it’s written all over my face
Surprise, surprise
Never something I could hide
When I see we made it through another day
And I said
Hoo, ooh, ooh, ooh
Hoo, ooh, ooh, ooh
Hoo, ooh, ooh, ooh
To you
Now the night
Will throw its cover down
On me again
Ooh, and if I’m right
It’s the only way
To bring me back
- Thinking About You
Yesterday I saw the sun shinin’
And the leaves were fallin’ down softly
My cold hands needed a warm, warm touch
And I was thinkin’ about you
But here I am lookin’ for signs of leaving
You hold my hand, but do you really need me?
I guess it’s time for me to let you go
And I’ll be thinkin’ about you
I’ll be thinkin’ about you
When you sail across the ocean waters
And you reach the other side safely
Could you smile a little smile for me?
‘Cause I’ll be thinkin’ about you
I’ll be thinkin’ about you
I’ll be thinkin’ about you
I’ll be thinkin’ about you
