Lissie Album

I'm tired of saying
That I won't get lost ever again
Who knows, maybe I will
And everywhere I go
There I'll be
With a rust old rake in a pile of leaves
Oh my, truly daunting

But my blue eyes cannot see
That their real hue's probably green
I should keep records of these things
And I'll know what yesterdays bring

I, I'm not really sure
But I'm starting to think that I've been here before
Who knows, maybe I have
And everywhere I went
There I was with a choir of bees
They were all a buzz
Oh my, how amusing!

But my blue eyes cannot see
That their real hue is probably green
I should keep records of these things
And I'll know what yesterdays bring

But one time, there was this one time
When I swore God, she spoke to me
And she told me, oh yes she told me
Of all the wonder that she could bring
And I said, "Won't you, won't you fill me up with it,
Why don't you fill me up with it,
Won't you fill me

Won't you, won't you fill me up with it,
Why don't you fill me up with it,
Why don't you fill me

Won't you, won't you fill me up with it,
Why don't you fill me up with it,
Why don't you fill me!"

But my blue eyes cannot see
That their real hue is probably green
I will keep records of these things
And I'll know what yesterdays bring

I am always there with me
And I know what yesterdays bring.

I turned my back
You were gone in a flash
Like you always do
You've always gone off
Somewhere else

And when the phone rang
And I thought it was you
And I sprung like a kid
Who just got out of school
But it's almost
Always never you
Never you

I scream like a child
My insides went wild

When I'm alone with you, you make me feel, you make me feel
When I'm alone with you, you are the one, you are the one

When I reach out and I only grab air
And it kills me to think
That you never did care and it's hopeless
You've always run off somewhere else
I'm throwing a tantrum
Why are you such a phantom

When I'm alone with you, you make me feel, you make me feel
When I'm alone with you, you are the one, you are the one

When I'm alone with you, you make me feel, you make me feel
When I'm alone with you, you are the one, you are the one

Reminds me of home
When you're around me
Next time you leave
Don't go without me

No, don't go, no!

When I'm alone with you, you make me feel, you make me feel
When I'm alone with you, you are the one, you are the one

When I'm alone with you, you make me feel, you make me feel
When I'm alone with you, you are the one, you are the one

I lay awake at night and pray
Not to see the light of day
I wonder how to behave right
He has left me such a mess
Counting to protest
My mind can't get no rest

Fast asleep where I keep my memories
He's calling me out in dreams
He visits me
What will be
Will I see him again soon?

Why am I so terrified of waking?
He's gone and I feel I've been forsaken
In sleep is the only place I get to see him, get to love him

The scene, a city after dawn
Becomes a field of corn
And I've had this one before

Fast asleep where I keep my memories
He's calling me out in dreams
He visits me
What will be
Will I see him again soon?

Why am I so terrified of waking?
He's gone and I feel I've been forsaken
In sleep is the only place I get to see him, get to love him

I know that when the story ends
The one that's in my head
Well, I'll be alone again

Why am I so terrified of waking?
He's gone and I feel I've been forsaken
In sleep is the only place I get to see him, get to love him

Why am I so terrified of waking?
He's gone and I feel I've been forsaken
In sleep is the only place I get to see him, get to love him
Be with him, I love him, I love him, I love him

Run ragged and wrecked
Catching a tiger
Baiting a bully
Was this my idea?
Is it a mistake?
Why did you take me here?

Am I too far from home?
Am I really all alone?

Walk child. don't run
Go off and have fun
We'll be waiting
Just look before you cross
Take love with the loss
I know it's frusrating

Mama's here and your papa too
And we are so darn proud of you

Mama's here and your papa too
And we are so darn proud of you
Proud of you

Reach but don't push it away
Say nice words and play
With intention
Practice restraint
Find out what matters
I know your heart's been broken
But martyrs never open doors
The world is yours
Carry this torch
And use your voice

Run ragged and wrecked
Catching a tiger
Baiting a bully
Was this my idea?
Is it a mistake?
Why did you take me here?

Mama's here and your papa too
And we are so darn proud of you

Mama's here and your papa too
And we are so darn proud of you

All of us who turned into you
We're sure hoping that you pull on through
All of us who turned into you
We're sure hoping that you pull on through
Pull on through, pull on through, pull on through
You pull on through

Appalachian farmer
Noted charmer
Forgot the field

Mississippi moonchild
Drivin' him wild
Forgot to yield

IO-way hey day
Day dreamin' someday
Be better off

By Georgia pinin'. declinin'
To its death in a Florida swamp

I gotta lotta lovin'
I gotta lotta lovin'
I gotta lotta love in my heart
I'm gonna get to heaven
I'm gonna get to heaven
I'm gonna get to heaven alright

Fightin' illini
Makin' me cry in a cornfield
Cross the nation patient
Pass the waiting with a warm meal

Tenne saw what you see
Arkan I can't I be calm
Hollywood's old darlin'
Gonna move to N'arleans
Singin' psalms

I gotta lotta lovin'
I gotta lotta lovin'
I gotta lotta love in my heart
I'm gonna get to heaven
I'm gonna count to seven
I'm gonna get to heaven alright

Why you runnin'
Why you runnin'
Why you runnin' my life

Why you runnin'
Why you runnin'
Why you runnin' my life

Why you runnin'
Why you runnin'
Why you runnin' my life

Why you runnin'
Why you runnin'
Why you runnin' my life

I thought you said that you were single
So what's that thing hanging around your finger
You caught me all alone
When a knock came at the door
That brought me to my feet
And dropped you to the floor

Oh wait a minute now stranger
I'm not sure I like your angle
No I gotta go, oh whoa

When shove comes to push
And push comes to shove
You're not the kind of man
That I want to give my love
I covered up my bruises
And gave away my sins
So what makes you think that I would let you in

No wait a minute now stranger
I'm not sure I like your angle
No I gotta go, oh no, I gotta go

And my manner is a matter of taste
I warned you that you were only wasting your time
I asked nicely, please get out of my face
Excuse me, I'm not yours I am mine
I am mine, I am mine, I am mine

Oh wait a minute now stranger
I'm not sure I like your angle
No, I gotta go

So save yourself the trouble
When this thing blows you'll just be rubble, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah

Oh wait a minute now stranger
I'm not sure I like your angle
No, I gotta go

Humour me this one last time
Think I've just made up my mind
Looking at me like a lover does
It'll never be the way it was

Feel that chord that holds us tight
Let's unravel it tonight

I wanna loosen up loosen up
Loosen the knot
The knot that is holding us
Binding us
Keeping us together now

I'm gonna give it up, toughen up
Like it or not
Maybe it's all that is stopping us
Keeping us together now

Undermining what I do
No one does it better than you
When you change your attitude
Things will change 'tween me and you
But the end is comin' darling and I'm bringing the news

I wanna loosen up loosen up
Loosen the knot
The knot that is holding us
Binding us
Keeping us together now

I'm gonna give it up, toughen up
Like it or not
Baby it's all that is stopping us
Keeping us together now
Together now

Humour me this one last time

I'm gonna loosen up loosen up
Loosen the knot
The knot that is holding us
Binding us
Keeping us together now

I'm gonna give it up, toughen up
Like it or not
Baby it's all that is stopping us
Keeping us together now
Together now

I wanna loosen up loosen up
Loosen the knot

I walked alone
I never tried to stay in line
I didn't know what I was doing half the time
I didn't know that my life would ever change
I didn't think that anybody felt the same way
And then you came

I said "I wanna try it all without regret
I wanna meet the kind of folks I never met"
Skipping school and smoking cigarettes
We hadn't even really gotten started yet

Cuckoo
Let's go driving
Cuckoo
'Cause there's nowhere to go
Cuckoo
We're in hiding
They're telling our story on the radio

I fell in love with being defiant
In a pick up truck that roared like a lion
When you're with us
You don't have to be quiet no more

People said we'd have to make it on our own
We never thought there'd be another hand to hold
We didn't care, we never did what we were told
They couldn't break us
They could never turn us cold
You and me well we were never growing old

Cuckoo
We're still go driving
Cuckoo
'Cause there's nowhere to go
Cuckoo
We're in hiding
They're telling our story on the radio

I fell in love with being defiant
In a pick up truck that roared like a lion
When you're with us
You don't have to be quiet no more
No, no more

I see you now
We talk about
The way it used to be
When we were brave
We misbehaved
Yeah you know what I mean
And you know why
Our battle cry always comes back to me

Cuckoo
Cuckoo

Yeah, yeah yeah yeah

Cuckoo
Cuckoo

I fell in love with being defiant
In a pick up truck that roared like a lion
When you're with us
You don't have to be quiet no more
No, no more

I fell in love with being defiant
In a pick up truck that roared like a lion
When you're with us
You don't have to be quiet no more
No more
No more
No more

And I'll fall on my knees
Tell me how's the way to be
Tell me how's the way to go
Tell me all that I should know

And I'll fall on my knees
Tell me how's the way to go
Tell me how's the way to be
To evoke some empathy

Danger will follow me
Everywhere I go
Angels will call on me
And take me to my home
This tired mind just wants to be led home

And I'll fall on my knees
Tell me how's the way to go
Tell me how's the way to see
Show me all that I could be

And I'll fall on my knees
Tell me how's the way to be
Tell me how's the way to go
Tell me why I feel so low

Danger will follow me
Everywhere I go
Angels will call on me
And take me to my home
These tired eyes just want to remain closed

I don't see clearly
Can't feel nothing
Can you hear me

And I'll fall on my knees
And danger will follow me everywhere I go
Angels will call on me and take me to my home

And danger will follow me everywhere I go
Angels will call on me and take me to my home

And danger will follow me everywhere I go

I’m too worried ‘bout what you’re doing
Are you worried ‘bout what I’m doing too
What ya doin to me
Why cant you see
I’m too worried bout what you’re doing
Are you worried bout what I’m doing too
What ya doing to me
Wanna be free

And who could blame you
I made it so complicated
If i just drain you
‘Til working it out
Is over rated
But why are we so blind to see
That truth and love
They could overcome
Come -come -come…

I’m too worried ‘bout what you’re doing
You’re not worrried ‘bout what I’m doing too
What you’re doing to me
Wanna be free
I’m too worried ‘bout what you’re doin’ doin’
You’re not worried ‘bout what I’m doing too
What you’re doing to me
Why can’t you see

That I can’t change you
Nor was that my intention
Please explain
Your earnest words
Are just shucking and jiving
You like to see your thumb on me
Just checking in
To make it begin again
‘Gain ‘gain ‘gain…

And for the last four years of my life I’ve thought about you pretty much
Every fifteen seconds

Last four years of my life
Prettty much every fifteen seconds

Oh my heart, my heart’s gonna break again
Oh my god my god won’t forsake again
Oh mercy I want to be taken in
Oh mercy

I’m too worried ‘bout what you’re doing
You’re not worried about what I’m doing too
What you’re doing to me
Honey why can’t you see
I’ll stop worrying ‘bout what you’re doin’ doin’
Cause you’re not worried bout what I’m doing too
And then you will see
What it was like to be me -e -e

Oh my heart

Look away from my window
Look away from my door
I fear my dear it’s all too clear
And the paper heart’s been torn

Can’t you stay through the night please
Can’t we pray on our knees
To keep us calm right where we belong
In a fortress of pine trees

The wind sighs button up now
Don’t look behind, keep your vows
Let the moon cry and the bricks to crumble down
I wont be found, I won’t be found, I won’t be found, I won’t be found out

Can’t explain what I’m feeling
But I came this far
To take your hand
Help you understand why I’m always wanting more

(not been founds)

ah-ooh-ahhhs

Look away from my window
Look away from my door
I won’t leave
I can’t feel nothing
Anyways anymore
Anyways anymore
Anyways anymore

(will be founds)

Oh mighty river
The Mississippi
Turbulent waters
Lull me to sleep

Please take my hand
I will go gently
Your arms around me
You’ll be my man

The leaves are changin’
I cross this road
To make my last walk
In that warm sunshine

Oh mighty river
Oh Mississippi
Oh all the troubles your banks have seen

Carry their stories from north to south
But round these parts you’re westward bound

The factories closin’
Kids have grown so fast
Lift up their woe please
As you flow past

Oh witness river
You have seen it all
Now do your waters
Have room for one more

Oh endless river
As you transcend
Please take me with you
Far from this land
