Iris DeMent piosenki

By a fountain back in Rome I fell in love with you In a small cafe in Athens You said you loved me too And it was April in Paris when I first held you close to me Rome, Georgia, Athens, Texas And Paris, Tennessee No, we're not the jet set We're the old Chevro...

When I was a child, I spoke as a child Now I'm a grown woman but my thoughts are still wild I thought I'd seen London or maybe Paris but I'm starin' at cornfields and they're starin' at me But dreams are just things that keep in a jar You bury your dreams or...

There'll be laughter even after you're gone. I'll find reasons to face that empty dawn. 'Cause I've memorised each line in your face, And not even death can ever erase the story they tell to me. I'll miss you. Oh, how I'll miss you. I'll dream of you, And I'...

I've traveled 'round this country from shore to shining shore It really made me wonder the things I heard and saw I saw the weary farmer plowing sod and loam l heard the auction hammer just a-knocking down his home But the banks are made of marble w...

Before the colors fade from view I sit alone remembering you And all those things you'd say and do And the feel of being next to you The angles of your sweet, old face The voice that filled my life with grace I walk as through a sacred place Before the colors...

I'm tired of this dirty old city Entirely too much work and never enough play And I'm tired of these dirty old sidewalks I think I'll walk off my steady job today [Chorus] So turn me loose, set me free Somewhere in the middle of Montana Gimme all I've got com...

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine! O what a foretaste of glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of God, I'm born of his Spirit, washed in his blood. Refrain: This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long; This is my story, this is my...

Well, I woke up this morning without you. Don't ask me how but I go t through. The floor of this room I've been pacing; Trying to drown out the sound my heart is making: It's calling for you. Oh, we said: "It looks like we won't make it. "You hurt me, I hurt...

Fireflies inside of a mason jar. Acting big behind the wheel of daddy's car. Playing church around the old piano stand, You were quite a preacher and oh, we sang so grand. I remember every night what we would say and do: "If you've forgiven me, then I've forg...

Standing barefoot on a cold wood floor, Looking out the window of my back door. If it keeps on raining I think the whole damn house is gonna float away. The alarm was buzzing at the break of dawn. My husband's asking: "Is the coffee on?" And easy's gettin' har...

Twelve-hundred miles, it's length and breadth, That four-square city stands. It's gem-set walls of Jasper shine, They're not made by human hands. One-hundred miles it's gates are wide: Abundant entrance there. With fifty miles of elbow room, On either side to...

Let me walk, blessed Lord, in the way Thou hast gone, Leading straight to the land above; Giving cheer everywhere to the sad and the lone, Fill my way every day with love. REFRAIN: Fill my way every day with love, As I walk with the heav'nly Dove; Let me go a...

Go on ahead and go home Go on ahead and go home Boy, you've done your best Time you took your rest in the sheltering loam Go on ahead and go home Go on ahead and go home The spirits of the dead will meet you up ahead You won't be alone Go let your mama see yo...

You say that you're born again cleansed of your former sins You want me to say "I forgive and forget" But you've done too much to me Don't you be touching me, go back and touch all those women you've made Chorus: 'cause God may forgive you, but I won't...

God walks the dark hills The ways, the by ways He walks through the billows Of life's troubled sea He walks through the cold dark night The shadows of midnight God walks the dark hills Just to guide you and me (CHORUS) God walks the dark hills To guide my foot...

Sometimes I feel discouraged And I think my works in vain I'm tempted oft(en) to murmur To grumble and complain But then I think of Jesus And all he's borne for me Then I cry Oh rock of ages Hide thou me Ohh rock of ages Hide thou me Ohh rock of ages Hide t...

Spoken introduction by Iris Dement: "No voice has inspired me more than my mother's. She showed me that music is a pathway to higher ground." I'm pressing on the upward way. New heights I'm gaining every day. Still praying as I'm onward bound: Lord, plant my...

Riding east-bound freight train, stealing through the night He was just a lonesome hobo who was fighting for his life The sadness in his eyes revealed the torture of his soul as he raised a weak and weary hand to brush away the cold Outside the rain is fallin...

Well, I've heard 'em say there's one for everybody, And I just knew somehow that you'd be the one for me. 'Cause making love with you's not just a hobby: No, it's the flame that burnt the forest down in me. And darling was it day or was it night-time Were the...
