I've had to burn most every bridge I've crossed It seems like everything I've loved I've lost When I met you I thought my luck had turned But our love's just another bridge to burn I'll soon light the match and I'll move on I've already lingered much too long...

Don't know why, but the one I love left me, Left me lonely, and cold and so weak, And I need someone's arms to hold me, 'Til I'm strong enough to get back on my feet. Can I sleep in your arms tonight, Mister, It's so cold lying here all alone, And I hav...

Your hand is like a torch each time you touch me That look in your eye pulls me apart Don't open the door to heaven if I can't come in Don't touch me if you don't love me, sweetheart Your kiss is like a drink when I'm thirsty And I'm thirsty for you with all...

You make my eyes run over all the time. Oh you're happy when I'm out of my mind. You won't love me but you won't let me be. Oh don't you ever get tired of hurting me? Somebody must have hurt you long ago, Oh but why take revenge on one who loves you so? Oh pl...

I look in the mirror stare at the wrinkles That weren't there yesterday And think of the young man that I almost married What would he think if he saw me this way I hold up my apron in little girl fashion As something comes into my mind Then slowly start...

The wind and I have a lot in common It seems we're always in a race with time We never know just where we're goin' Or think about what we leave behind Grass won't grow on a busy street You can't take the bitter and make it sweet You can't draw water fro...

I can't seem to forget that look of leaving you wore As you left I wondered if I'd see you any more You said you were leaving to find the way to forget And I just wonder have you found it yet I just wonder if you found it yet wonder if you'll be returning...

I love you so much, I can't leave you Even though my mind tells me I should Then you make me think you really want me Then all my thoughts of leaving do no good You've got me heart over mind worried all the time Knowing you will always be the same You k...

I'm not a custom to this feeling The loneliness is burning in my soul Sometimes the mind is on its leaving I wish I'd stayed at home like I was told I'm a long way from home oh so all alone And scared like I never thought I'd be I'm a long way from home...
