norwegianwood Excellent all around, especially your vocal performance - weary, resigned to a degree, but still in control of the delivery and narrative. The guitars frame the songs so well adding just enough beauty. Will listen often!

Under my wing You don’t have to cry I’ll never leave you Till you’re ready to fly You may run away Into the night Don’t you cry alone I’ll be there to Hold you tight CHORUS Lay your head down to sleep With the stars in your eyes Leave the candle burn ‘til the morning light ‘til the morning light CHORUS Lay your head down to sleep With the stars in your eyes Leave the candle burn ‘til the morning light ‘til the morning light Love can break your heart Leave you out in the cold You just fly My little bird Let your wings bring you home My love runs deep My love runs wide I’ll never leave you I’m there by your side CHORUS Lay your head down to sleep With the stars in your eyes Leave the candle burn ‘til the morning light ‘til the morning light ‘til the morning light I’ll never leave you ‘til you’re ready to fly

I can see you in my dreams I can feel you in my heart You’re a thousand miles away We’re never far apart CHORUS You’re the starlight That lights the road The river That takes me home The fire When I’m cold I hold you in my sleep I hear you in my mind You’re always next to me You’re with me when I drive CHORUS You’re the starlight That lights the road The river That takes me home The fire When I’m cold I can see you in my dreams I can feel you in my heart You’re a thousand miles away We’re never far apart CHORUS You’re the starlight That lights the road The river That takes me home The fire When I’m cold

They lived in a house At the end of the road When daddy left home Mama carried the load They had next to nothin’ Just the clothes on their backs Livin’ ain’t easy At the end of the track CHORUS He’s a blue eyed barefoot boy From the hills of Tennessee In the cold hard ground They gonna lay him, lay him in peace He’d run for the hills To the valley below Lay down by the Muddy And the river would roll Just like a gypsy He lived to be free It’s down the dirt road What shall be, will be CHORUS He’s a blue eyed barefoot boy From the hills of Tennessee In the cold hard ground They gonna lay him, lay him in peace He’d run from his home To the war far away At night he would wander In his dream far away To the hills and the valley By the Muddy he’d lay His blood in the sand Is the price he would pay CHORUS He’s a blue eyed barefoot boy From the hills of Tennessee In the cold hard ground They gonna lay him, lay him in peace He’s a blue eyed barefoot boy From the hills of Tennesse In the cold hard ground They gonna lay him, lay him in peace

Like A Baby 02:50
One more coffee for the road Runnin’ with her heart to Buffalo She didn’t pack a thing Left the diamond ring He gonna cry like a baby When she’s gone Worked her fingers to the bone Never felt like this was home He threw it all away Now he’s gonna pay He gonna cry like a baby When she’s gone CHORUS Tears have dried Love has died He gonna cry, he gonna cry He gonna cry like a baby When she’s gone CHORUS Tears have dried Love has died He gonna cry, he gonna cry He gonna cry like a baby When she’s gone Broke down in his dirty room Rollin’ around that same old tune He took stock of everything Found the diamond ring He cried like a baby Now she’s gone CHORUS Tears have dried Love has died Yes he cried, you know he cried Yes he cry, cry, cried He cried a river A river he cried He cried like a baby Now she’s gone

You’re not made of steel no heart of stone Gotta watch your back in the killin’ zone In the midnight hour when you try to sleep Gonna say your prayer my soul to keep CHORUS Let the light shine down on you Let the light come shining through Let the light shine down on you Let the light come shining through The street is cold when the lights go down You can hear shots ring all through this town When teardrops fall like rain on stone May the mercy of God bring you home CHORUS Let the light shine down on you Let the light come shining through Let the light shine down on you Let the light come shining through Let the light shine down on you Let the light come shining through Let the light shine down on you Let the light com shining through You’re not made of steel, no heart of stone Gotta watch your back in the killin’ zone In the midnight hour when you try and sleep Gonna say your prayer, my soul to keep Let the light shine down on you Let the light come shining through Let the light shine down on you Let the light come shining through

Angel eyes stare down the night Scared to speak under heaven’s light Angry words hang on the line They’re gettin’ old and out of time The rusty truck a busted door Down this road many time before This broken house has seen its day If walls could talk you’d hear them say…. His best friend’s from Kentucky He pours him in a glass When he says he loves you, it’s never meant to last Lost your friends, your loved ones They’re afraid to come around You’d better run before the sun goes down You’d better run before the sun goes down. There’s a town many miles away Gonna drive through, night and day Beyond the hill church bells ring She hears a voice inside her sing His best friend’s from Kentucky He pours him in a glass When he says he loves you, it’s never meant to last Lost your friends, your loved ones They’re afraid to come around You’d better run before the sun goes down You’d better run before the sun goes down.

Somewhere down the line Almost lost my mind Watchin’ those clouds rollin’ by Can’t stop these tears I cry Take it from a fool who knows All that glitter is never gold I know time is not my friend It’s a race to the bitter end CHORUS Now I know that I Just keep holdin’ on Someday peace is gonna come Now I know that I Just keep holdin’ on Someday peace is gonna come Lost my heart far away But it feels like yesterday I’m gonna drive till the lights go down Watch the stars far away from town Think I hear a voice on the wind Callin’ me like an old lost friend Give me something to believe Give me truth I can take with me CHORUS Now I know that I Just keep holdin’ on Someday peace is gonna come Now I know that I Just keep holdin’ on Someday Peace is gonna come Now I know that I Just keep holdin’ on Someday peace has gotta come Now I know that I Just keep holdin’ on Someday peace has gotta come

Stranded 04:34
Oh darlin’, Where do I begin I feel lost in my skin You don’t know where I’ve been Oh mama I have thoughts in my mind Can’t leave ‘em behind No peace I can find CHORUS Sometimes I lie here Awaken from my dream I’d like to run away But I’m stranded, midstream I’m stranded, in my dream Oh brother Been there and back From the Gulf to Iraq Let’s not talk about that Oh father Nothin’ left here inside There’s no place I can hide I’m a man out of time CHORUS Sometimes I lie here Awaken from my dream I’d like to run away But I’m stranded, midstream I’m stranded, in my dream CHORUS Sometimes I lie here Awaken from my dream I’d like to run away But I’m stranded, midstream I’m stranded, in my dream Oh darlin’ Where do I begin I feel lost in my skin You don’t know where I’ve been You don’t know where I’ve been You don’t know where I’ve been
