Belongs To You

She would take me home tonight
I know it wouldn't be right
Deep inside I know
I'll always love you so
No matter who's beside me
My heart belongs to you
I should hate you, I know
But somehow I just can't let go
I think I've reached the end
And my tears just start again
No matter who's beside me
My heart belongs to you
If she took me upstairs
She could try her best
I doubt she'd raise even my
Interest
I know it can't be the same
But someday I hope things can change
And through my night so black
Lives the hope that you'll come back
No matter who's beside me
My heart belongs to you
She would take me home tonight
I know it wouldn't be right
Deep inside I know
I'll always love you, so
No matter who's beside me
My heart belongs to you

All That's So
03:19

If I say I'm almost over you
Does saying that make it almost true
It's hard to tell
And sometimes that's just as well
Think of all the times we've had
And try to decide if that's good or bad
Who can say
When these things work either way
I'll take a moment to consider
What's been said
And let those words echo 'round my head
I know, all that's so
Still that doesn't change how I feel for you
White lies, alibis
What do I do about you
I don't have to play the part
Of some poor fool with his broken heart
If I decline
To accept another line
I'll just take that chip right off my shoulder
And act my age
Although rage is all the rage
I know, all that's so
Still that doesn't change how I feel for you
Pet names, bedroom games
What do I do
When I know that all that's so
And still that doesn't change how I feel for you
I know that all that's so, still
What would I do without you

Solitary

The rain came down
Outside my cell
My cup of life lies spilled
Upon the ground
A day in May
Reflected here
I felt it pass so near
Without a sound
The bars that surround me
Are shapeless and vague
The chains that have bound me
Are debts left unpaid
But someday I'll walk out
A free man again
Like a once-withered flower
Made fresh by the rain
I'll always wonder
Was it all in vain
Now I see
My jailer is me
I'm only a prisoner
Of my own dream

December

Now it's finally December
I find I'm hanging on
To something I'm not sure I could remember
I don't want to know if I was wrong
Felt so sure this summer
But it faded oh so fast
Now I feel so much doubt
Oh, when will this pass
Maybe in a year or two
Something will work out then
But I won't hold my breath
Waiting for you to come 'round again
Finish off my bottle
Put your picture away
Once again I wonder
Is anything left for me to say
Now it's finally December
And I find I'm hanging on
To something I'm not sure ever existed
I don't want to know if I was wrong
I don't want to know if I was wrong

Nothing You Could Do
03:44
|
|||
|
Nothing you could do
Nothing you could say
Would ever turn me away
From your side
On the darkest day
In the blackest night
Your smile is just enough light
To truly guide my way
No matter what's been said
No matter what's been done
Inside or out of my head
I know that we've just begun
Down the narrow path
To the narrowest door
I find less is more
When I would pass through
So take a second look
Maybe a second verse
It's never a curse
When it's about you
Underneath our skins
Down to where we're true
It begins and it ends
And now I know
Nothing could be better than to spend the rest of my life with you
Sometimes the smallest part
Of the tiniest seed
Might be all that I need
To get me through the day
And nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
Would ever turn me from you
Here is where I'll stay

Last Exit To Babylon
03:00
|
|||
|
Tell me again how much you love me
And how you'll always be there
Tell me again you want to hold me
And ease all my pain and cares
It never lasts
It's all in the past
And I won't see you anymore
Still, meet me at the last exit to Babylon, my love
Only there will I see you one more time, my love
Clutch me again to your sweet-scented skin
Clutch me like velvet-wrapped steel
Gasp out my name into my ear
Make all my senses reel
Knowing all along
You're already gone
And I won't see you anymore
Still, meet me at the last exit to Babylon, my love
Only there will I see you one more time, my love
Can't we pretend
It didn't end
And soon I'll hold you once again
Close my eyes with kisses four
Come lie down here by my side
Tell me of children we will have
And tell me of the horses they'll ride
It's far too late
But still I'll wait
Though I won't see you anymore
Still, meet me at the last exit to Babylon, my love
Only there will I see you one more time, my love

Not The Only One
02:28

Holding out for great expectations
Gotta wait until I make a score
Delay my own gratification
All my life they've told me
Wait for more
When I'm trying to hide, trying to run
I may be alone, I'm not the only one
Ask for one day, ask for the moon
Those prayers don't get answered soon
First they told me, wait till you're older
Then they said I had to become young
Wanna cry but I can't find a shoulder
And there's more sad songs than can be sung
When I'm trying to hide, trying to run
I may be alone, I'm not the only one
Ask for one day, ask for the moon
Those prayers don't get answered soon
I've known all along
I'm living a waiting game
I've known all along
There's no one else to blame
When I'm trying to hide, trying to run
I may be alone, I'm not the only one
Ask for one day, ask for the moon
Those prayers don't get answered soon

Sacrifice
02:56
|
|||
|
You could burn many candles, say many prayers
Whatever's happening might never reach you
You could work out the angles, see soothsayers
They'll never tell you what you know to be true
In the end it's all inside, it leaves you with no place to hide
Betrayal by another name remains what it is
And somebody must pay the price
Of being first with the headlines
The ones who gain are not the ones we sacrifice
Well, when they break down his door and cut his throat in the street
There'll be words about the way things were before this began
Now there's profits to be made, deadlines to beat
Nothing stands in the way of the polls or the banks
It seems to me I've heard before, all is fair in love and war
But even I must draw the line at some point it seems
Giving up somebody's name
To men to whom it's not a game
And killing him yourself are really one and the same
Somebody must pay the price
Of being first with the headlines
The ones who gain are not the ones we sacrifice

Water
03:13
|

Stranger, you have come
Out into the noon-day sun
And you want water from a well
Water from the well
Who are you to talk to me
Why can't you just let me be
There's just water in this well
There's only water in this well
But then you look at me
With eyes I can't describe
Like you know me through and through
And I find I can't turn aside
Who are you
I know I'm not the first
Who could never quench that thirst
With water from a well
Water from a well
You say there's a stream within
Flowing with life that never ends
Is there more you could tell
Please, is there more you would tell
Then you look at me
With those eyes I can't describe
You always knew me through and through
As I finally realize
It is true
And I will go and tell them
You are here

Still Believe
04:28

There’s no alone like the alone that
Follows the sound when you hang up the phone
I know nothing I say to you is anything you could hear
So I’ll sit in the silence and I’ll hold a phone to my ear
And I’ll still believe in you
And I’ll still believe in you
What’s the point of telling you the things you could mean to me
When the things I see in you are things you’ll never see
I can be such a fool when it’s something about you
And then I shake my head over all of the dumb things we do
And I’ll still believe in you
And I’ll still believe in you
And if it’s a burden it’s one I chose to bear
I hoped that your silence never meant you didn’t care
I don’t want to break you or bend you to my will
And I don’t want to shake you or tie you down or hold you still
It’s more than pretty words that might make you cry
It’s about trying to tell you and show you why
That I still believe in you
That I still believe in you

I love their approach and their intensity, and I particularly enjoy a mandolin played in ways Bill Monroe never saw coming!
