Send her your love With a dozen roses Make sure that she knows it With a flower from your heart Show him your love Don't hold back your feelings You don't need a reason When it's straight from the heart I've heard so many say that the days of romance are no more And people falling in love is so old fashioned But waiting are they the day they once let slip away Hiding need to fulfill their heart's desire for love’s passion Send her your love With a dozen roses Make sure that she knows it With a flower from your heart Show him your love Don't hold back your feelings You don't need a reason When it's straight from the heart I know that people say two hearts beating as one is unreal And can only happen in make believe stories But so blind they all must be that they cannot believe what they see For around us are miracles of love’s glory Show him your love Don't hold back your feelings You don't need a reason When it's straight from the heart

The wretched desert takes its form The jackal proud and tight In search of you I feel my way Through the slowest heaving night Whatever fear invents I swear it make no sense I reach out through the border fence Come down, come talk to me In the swirling, curling storm of desire Unuttered words hold fast With reptile tongue, the lightning lashes Towers built to last Darkness creeps in like a thief And offers no relief Why are you shaking like a leaf Come on, come talk to me Ah please talk to me Won't you please talk to me We can unlock this misery Come on, come talk to me I did not come to steal This all is so unreal Can't you show me how you feel now Come on, come talk to me Come talk to me The earthly power sucks shadowed milk From sleepy tears undone From nippled skin as smooth as silk The bugles blown as one You lie there with your eyes half closed Like there's no one there at all There's a tension pulling on your face Come on, come talk to me Won't you please talk to me If you'd just talk to me Unblock this misery If you'd only talk to me Don't you ever change your mind Now your future's so defined And you act so deaf, so blind Come on, come talk to me Come talk to me I can imagine the moment Breaking out through the silence All the things that we both might say And the heart it will not be denied 'Til we're both on the same damn side All the barriers blown away I said please talk to me Won't you please come talk to me Just like it used to be Come on, come talk to me I did not come to steal This all is so unreal Can you show me how you feel now Come on, come talk to me Come talk to me I said please talk to me If you'd just talk to me Unblock this misery If you'd only talk to me Don't you ever change your mind Now your future's so defined And you act so deaf and blind And you act so deaf so blind Come on, come talk to me Come talk to me

I worked the land to raise a family 'Til I was weary to the bone But hard labor never bothered me Lord it's all I've ever known To many seasons of calamity And too much interest on a loan I'm half the size that I used to be And half of that is gone The crops ain't worth the seeding Timber only gets you fire The last hog I was feeding I can hardly keep him alive I got to do what I can to survive I know the law won't be forgiving But that will be the choice I made I used to farm for a living And now I'm in the growing trade The summer beauty of the cotton field Was like a view from heaven's door My granddaddy said that harvest time Was what the good Lord made us for I guess you'd wonder where's the dignity In a crop you raise to burn But this land is my legacy I got nowhere else to turn A shotgun on my shoulder Where a tow sack ought to be The thieves are getting bolder And the feds may be wise to me I got to quit this eventually. I know the law won't be forgiving But that will be the choice I made I used to farm for a living And now I'm in the growing trade Hell, the copters and the distance? Coming closer every day. There gonna meet some resistance Ain't no price too rich to pay. There won't be any business When they take it all away. Between the cop in the jailhouse And a bed beneath the clay I guess there's nothing to do now but pray. I know the law won't be forgiving But that will be the choice I made I used to farm for a living And now I'm in the growing trade I used to farm for a living And now I'm in the growing trade

Tracy died soon after our long fought civil war Just after I'd wiped away his last tear I guess he's better off than he was before, A whole lot better off than the fools he left here I used to cry for Tracy because he was my only friend Those kind of cars don't pass you every day I used to cry for Tracy 'cause I wanted to see him again, But sometimes sometimes life ain't always the way... Sometimes it snows in April Sometimes I feel so bad, so bad Sometimes I wish life was never ending, And all good things, they say, never last Springtime was always my favorite time of year, A time for lovers holding hands in the rain Now springtime only reminds me of Tracy's tears Always cry for love, never cry for pain He used to say so strong unafraid to die Unafraid of the death that left me hypnotized No, staring at his picture I realized No one could cry the way my Tracy cried Sometimes it snows in April Sometimes I feel so bad Sometimes, sometimes I wish that life was never ending, And all good things, they say, never last I often dream of heaven and I know that Tracy's there I know that he has found another friend Maybe he's found the answer to all the April snow Maybe one day I'll see my Tracy again Sometimes it snows in April Sometimes I feel so bad, so bad Sometimes I wish that life was never ending, But all good things, they say, never last All good things that say, never last And love, it isn't love until it's past

Hello I've waited here for you Everlong Tonight I throw myself into And out of the red Out of her head she sang Come down And waste away with me Down with me Slow how You wanted it to be I'm over my head Out of her head she sang And I wonder When I sing along with you If everything could ever feel this real forever If anything could ever be this good again The only thing I'll ever ask of you You gotta promise not to stop when I say when she sang Breathe out So I can breathe you in Hold you in And now I know you've always been Out of your head Out of my head I sang And I wonder When I sing along with you If everything could ever feel this real forever If anything could ever be this good again The only thing I'll ever ask of you You gotta promise not to stop when I say when she sang [Whisper:] So, Dad would take the Sundays off. And that's the only time he could ever get any rest. And so, because we were loud on Sundays, he'd make us hold his construction boots over our head, 'til we'd sleep. And they were really heavy boots and I used to say, "Dad, come on, please." And like start crying, 'cause they're too heavy. And I wonder If everything could ever feel this real forever If anything could ever be this good again The only thing I'll ever ask of you You've got to promise not to stop when I say when

I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear But I knew that it would come An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone She said you found someone And I thought of all the bad luck, And the struggles we went through And how I lost me and you lost you What are these voices outside love's open door Make us throw off our contentment And beg for something more? I'm learning to live without you now But I miss you sometimes The more I know, the less I understand All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again I've been trying to get down to the Heart of the Matter But my will gets weak And my thoughts seem to scatter But I think it's about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even if you don't love me anymore These times are so uncertain There's a yearning undefined And people filled with rage We all need a little tenderness How can love survive in such a graceless age The trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness They're the very things we kill, I guess Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms And the work I put between us, You know it doesn't keep me warm I'm learning to live without you now But I miss you, baby The more I know, the less I understand All the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again I've been trying to get down to the heart of the matter But everything changes And my friends seem to scatter But I think it's about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even if you don't love me anymore There are people in your life who've come and gone They let you down, you know they hurt your pride You better put it all behind you, baby, 'cause life goes on You keep carrying that anger, it'll eat you up inside, baby I've been trying to get down to the Heart of the Matter But my will gets weak And my thoughts seem to scatter But I think it's about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even if you don't love me I've been trying to get down to the Heart of the Matter Because the flesh will get weak And the ashes will scatter So I'm thinking about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even if you don't love me Forgiveness Forgiveness (Baby) Forgiveness Forgiveness Forgiveness Forgiveness Even if you don't love me anymore Forgiveness Forgiveness Forgiveness Forgiveness

Why can't it wait 'til morning? We can talk about it then 'Cos I've had a drink too many And my troubles, well I ain't got any Why can't it wait 'til daylight? Things will seem much clearer then I'm tired and my eyes are weary And I just want you lying here with me So close your eyes I'll make it oh, so nice Well I don't wanna think about what we've said And I don't wanna know why we hurt ourselves 'Cos I just wanna hold you so close to me It'll take care of itself and I wanna sleep So why can't it wait 'til next time? 'Cos that time may never come Stay here with your arms around me You're going nowhere without me So close your eyes I'll make it oh, so nice for you

Looking out, across the nighttime The city winks a sleepless eye Hear her voice, shake my window Sweet seducing sighs Get me out, into the nighttime Four walls won't hold me tonight If this town is just an apple Then let me take a bite If they say why (why?), why (why?) Tell them that it's human nature Why (why?), why (why?), does he do me that way? If they say why (why?), why (why?) Tell them that it's human nature Why (why?), why (why?), does he do me that way? Reaching out to touch a stranger Electric eyes are everywhere See that girl, she knows I'm watching She likes the way I stare If they say why (why?), why (why?) Just tell them that it's human nature Why (why?), why (why?), does he do me that way? If they say why (why?), why (why?) (She's giving in by keeping him a'round) Tell them that it's human nature Why (why?), why (why?), does he do me that way? I like livin' this way I like lovin' this way (That way) Why? Oh, why? (That way) Why? Oh, why? Looking out, across the morning The city's heart begins to beat Reaching out, I touch her shoulder I'm dreaming of the street If they say why (why?), why (why?) Tell them that it's human nature Why (why?), why (why?), does he do me that way? If they say why (why?), why (why?) (She's giving in by keeping him a'round) Ooh-ooh, tell 'em! Why (why?), why (why?), does he do me that way? If they say why (why?), why (why?), why (why?) Cha-da-cha-sha-sha-sha-sha-sha (aah-ah) Why (why?), why (why?), does he do me that way? If they say why (why? Why?), why (why? Why? Why?) (She's giving in by keeping him a'round) Ooh-ooh, tell 'em! (aah-ah) Why (why?), why (why?), does he do me that way?

(that way)
