Restless Darlin'

You go east, I'll go west
we'll see, who'll pass the test, darlin
I'll take your hand, I'll lead you down
You know I want to show you around
You and I crossed paths this time
Different lines of the same kind
Sometimes love is hard to find
You know you've been on my mind
Ooh
Can't you tell I'm falling
Ooh I know you are too
Ooh darlin im so restless
For you
Ooh ooh ooh
And we never got along
If one was right the other wrong
Funny how things change
How your whole life can be rearranged
Ooh
Can't you tell I'm falling
Ooh I know you are too
Ooh darlin im so restless
For you
Ooh ooh ooh
Ohh
There's no way of telling
Ohh where we'll end up now
Ohh darlin I'm so restless
For you

You said you needed me to be there Sunday
I wanted to impress
Darlin I showed up one day early
In my Sunday best
You told me once that you loved the Beatles
So I learned every damn song
I wanted someday to play them for you
So you could sing along
The truth is you didn't even know the tune
Less is more, if I've learned one thing
Less is more, darlin you taught me
Less is more, everyday now
Less is more
I said you needed to be there Sunday
Didn't care if you were a mess
When I showed up you looked so handsome
Even if you were overdressed
That's the way that you are,
You always go too far
Darlin I like you just the way you are
Don't have to try so hard
Truth is I don't need the stars and the sky
Less is more, don't you see that
Less is more, darlin I believe that
Less is more, all I gotta say is
Less is more
It's the truth, all I really want is you
Less is more, of I've learned one thing
Less is more, all I gotta say is
Less is more
Less is more

Eye of the Storm
03:14
|
|||
Sailing into the eye of a storm
Haul in on the mainsheet and batten down the doors
Sailing into the eye of a storm
I don’t know if I can be a sailor anymore
Verse 1 – Strum
When I was just a young boy
I was raised on the ocean, and all of its joys
Then when I grew into a man
My father gave me the boat he’d made with his hands
Chorus 2
Sailing into the eye of a storm
The wind cries like a baby from its mothers scorn
Sailing into the eye of a storm
Though our hull is battered and our sails are torn
Verse 2
When we first set sail for the isle
It was to be a short journey, just a little while
Then the wind started to blow
The fog rolled in the rain came down, we lost the suns glow
Verse 3
Then the sea it started to churn
And for the soft ground my legs did yearn
Never had I feared the sea
But a cold wave of fear now washed over me
Chorus 3
Sailing into the eye of a storm
Tossed on the ocean, cold and alone
Sailing into the eye of a storm
Does it have to end this way, so dark and forlorn

Turn, turn away from me
End, everything that we worked so hard to start
Lie, you used lie next to me
Tear, you'd Tear away the sheets
Now, the bed that we made is cold you see,
I lie here alone
And I try so hard to pretend, you
Feel the same way I do
Now the truth that at our feet
I don't know how these wounds will heal
I can't stay in bed, anymore
Cold, everything colder now
Fall, feel like I'm falling down
You've, broken my crown
Leaving me to pine
Chorus
Reds and golds, this is the fall of our love
Tears like leaves, fall soft on our sheets
I can't stay in bed
I can't stay in bed
Anymore

In Spite of the Weather
03:04
|

SECTION 1
In spite of the weather, we’re in bed
Not planning to leave
This day gets better, by the hour
The sun shines bright, through our window
We should probably go outside
But I just want to stay a while longer
Ohh the sun is shining bright
But not as bright as your smile
So in spite, of the weather
We’re in bed
SECTION 2
Could be your eyes dear, that draw me near
Or the calm in your voice
The cars keep on passing, down our street
But I can hardly hear them anymore
We should probably go outside
But I just want to stay a while longer
Oh the day is passing by
But the clock’s hands are staying still
So in spite of the weather
We’re in bed
PIANO/GUITAR BREAK
So in spite, of the weather
We’re in bed

Part 2 (Swim)
03:22
|
|||
Verse 1
Left my window open and the rain came in
I wish that I was joking, ohh I just can’t win
Now I’m washed away, down my stairs
Lying in the basement on a broken chair
Bridge
And I don’t know how, I’m going to find dry ground (x2)
Now the waters rising up over my head
It's getting to cold for me to tread
I wish I had closed my window tight
now I'm feeling numb and I'm losing my sight
Bridge
Part 2
If I could swim out of this basement (if I could slow the rush of water)
Tread water out of here (If I could slow the rising tide)
Shake the cold off and start kicking (take things back to where we started)
Shed the weight of my mistakes (Scale it back till I was safe and sound)
Swim (swim) away from here
Find a way through all tis fear
Find a way to get back to you my dear
Swim away from here

Oh my lord it's gonna be alright
you've miles ahead in this bright life
those young girl dreams are still in your reach
and you'll always be my precious sweet Marlene
Verse 1
It's been tough baby since you've gone
it’s no place for you out there on the run
so close those eyes and put down the gun
cuz you'll always be my favorite one
Verse 2
you've walked miles in the desert sun
i can tell girl you've come undone
but you're still here you're oh so young
so grab my hand i'll kiss you all night long
Bridge
Judas walks along side of you
tempting' you with things you shouldn't do
just wash in this water and you'll be new
cuz he can't kiss you baby like I do
Verse 3
You stood in the garden at gethsemane
with a baby bouncing on your knee
you cried enough to water all those trees
so pack your things and come on home to me
Refrain
Oh my lord it's gonna be alright
you've miles ahead in this bright life
those young girl dreams are still in your reach
you'll always be my precious sweet marlene
Verse 4
it's safe here in my white bedroom
you play the bride and i'll play the groom
we'll dance together under the light of the moon
Don't you worry it'll all be over soon

Matchstick
03:54
|
|||
Light a match
before we all fall down
Dust to dust
on the ground
Ashes to ashes
we all fall down
Light a match
set fire to the ground
Glitter gold
Blackened sky
Dust to dust
say goodbye
Shining stars
soon must leave the sky
moons will rise
then fall out of the night
oh my darling
keep me in your mind
I must leave you
don’t hold too tight
Glitter gold
Blackened sky
Dust to dust
say goodbye
For all the stars and moons in the sky
Like matchsticks must flicker and die
Doesn’t mean our love couldn’t survive
But its not our time love,
not this time
Glitter gold
Blackened sky
Dust to dust
say goodbye
Glitter gold
Blackened sky
Dust to dust
say goodbye

You feel like the waves, are crashing in
And you're not sure, if you'll sink or swim
Well darling won't you take my hand
Try and help me understand
Life doesn't always follow a plan
Let me be your breakwater, I will break the waves
You know I'll protect you, from all these darkened days
Let the ocean wash o'er you, I'll wash the salt away
Let me be your breakwater, I will break the waves
Breakwater breakwater breakwater break
Breakwater breakwater breakwater break
You say that money's tight and things are getting dark
You can't rub two coins together to make a spark
But you and I will make it through
Where the darkness lives the light shines through
Life doesn't always follow a plan
Chorus
Breakwater breakwater breakwater break

Time is just a ticking clock
A quarter for a pay phone call
It takes more and more to keep on working
More and more to keep on turning
Round
I am just a simple man
Until you take me by the hand
You show me that I’m more than just a
Simple clock that needs the time to
Keep it turning
And I
Need to tell you
Everyday love
Everytime
My heart is beating
You’re the lifeblood
that keeps me turning
Round
We are spinning every way
hurling faster every day
It takes more than life to keep us living
More than just the earth that’s moving
Beneath our feet
And I
Need to tell you
Everyday love
Everytime
My heart is beating
You’re the lifeblood
that keeps me turning
Round
And I
(Need to tell you)
Need to tell you
(everyday love)
Everyday love
Everytime
My heart is beating
You’re the lifeblood
that keeps me turning
Round
