I was born on a Saturday, My dad he held me screaming in his arms, He can talk like it was yesterday, When I got that holy water in my eye, It's alright, is it just alright. See all those faces coming down, Trying not to let them down, This time, babe...

I saw you smile I knew you had spirit Oh won't you let your colors run And isn't it odd, the way we try to tell ourselves we got limits You're beautiful, but you just don't see it sometimes And I don't know why Oh, you're the shape of my days Oh...

Say I don't look much like a lover Doesn't mean that I won't try Set your world on fire every once in awhile We lie on the kitchen floor Hot air rises and it's going to be hot as hell here soon We are going to need some relief Sick of leaving thing half...

We came out of the cinema We were rubbing our eyes Our mouths were dry from the sugar and the popcorn And we felt a little guilty About spending that whole sunny day inside The movie we were watching About Bonnie & Clyde They were driving dow...

[Verse 1] I love you in the morning when the blood runs to your cheeks Babe, you are the first thing and the last thing that I'd see I was just a boy striking matches upon your heart I couldn't get no sparks Ask me to go faster, put my foot down to the fl...

You were the one to visit my darkness You were the brightest way You dropped a stone into the well We'd wait for the sound it made When it got quiet, you could hear your heart Tell me, what did it say? I was a bird, you opened the cage It felt like a cl...

Waking up in the evening And I ain't got nothing to say I come home in the morning I go to bed feeling the same way I ain't nothing but tired Nothing but tired and bored with myself Come on, baby I could use just a little help You can't start a fire...

Oh if you’re losing sleep… Oh if you’re losing sleep, scared of shadows. See it’s just a chair, see the clothes hang there. Oh don’t go losing sleep, scared of shadows. Oh don’t feel bad. Well I never have, since I got you, my Emmylou. You wear yo...

A green plastic watering can For a fake Chinese rubber plant In fake plastic Earth That she bought from a rubber man In a town full of rubber plants To get rid of itself It wears her out It wears her out It wears her out It wears her out She lives...

I was only walking through your neighborhood Saw you out loud honey in the cold I stood Anywhere I go there you are Anywhere I go there you are I been getting used to waking up with you I been getting used to waking up here Anywhere I go there you are Anywher...

Come over to my house Jump in the neigbour's pool It felt nice It felt so nice And it was getting dark You wrapped your long legs around me I held on tight Lying in my bed The unfamiliar sheets were so cool On your skin When your daddy called Sai...

You told me boy look the other way You told me boy bite your tongue Yes that's not the way, Yeah that's not the way Ah that's not the way that friends behave Ah that's just not the way that friends behave Oh no, no, no, No, no, no, no You lined me up...

She is something to behold Elegant and bold She is electricity Running to my soul And I could easily lose my mind the way you kiss me will work each time Calling me to come back to bed Singing Georgia on my mind Lips generous and warm You build me...

Coming to your house Knocking at your door You mind a sip of wine? You call me, call me down Do you know me, you know me, you know me Do you know me now? Do you love me, you love me, you love me Do you love me now? Oh Left your clothes next to the be...

You stand with your hand on my waistline It's a scene and we're out here in plain sight I can hear them whisper as we pass by It's a bad sign Something happens when everybody finds out See the vultures circling, dark clouds Love's a fragile little flame,...

I saw you standing there Sandy blonde hair, the way it came tumbling down Just like a waterfall And if you need a light I'll be the match to your candle My darling, I'm ready to burst into flames for you I was just coasting till we met You rem...

[Verse 1] I'm so gone Anyone could see that I'm wasted You cut through And I just wanna know what's in your head [Pre-Chorus] Write it on a piece of paper, honey Put it in my coat before I go Hidden in a place you know I'll find it Later when I'm sit...

Time to let it go It won't let go of me Hanging by a thread Cutting the cord and then falling back into the Black 'cause if I don't If I wait 'til it feels right I'll be waiting my whole life Closing my eyes, remember how we were like Gold, when you s...

I was only ten years old Like the back of my hand knew the roads I swerved my bike and lost control Over the handles in the air A lady who came walking by found me lying there And the nurse at the hospital said "Little boy, don't be scared Now y...

Talking like we used to do It was always me and you Shaken up and shipping out Check me in and check me out Do you like walking in the rain When you think of love, do you think of pain You can tell me what you see I will choose what I believe Hold on...

Don't walk too proud, don't talk too loud And make it up as you go And take whatever you're given And leave what you think you know At the door As she said You could be my kind of man Will you do the best you can And I could use a little time I need...

You think you're ready But you've got too much on your mind Too much left to prove No easy answers You've got to work it out yourself You won't hear anyone but you The moment you stop looking Wherever you go, you'll be in the right place You'l...

I'm done, I'm done, I don't care how you feel I'm done, I'm done for now And I see, I see with every glance that I steal I'm done, I'm done for now You say you're used to playin with fire You say you're heart is on your sleeve You say you're sometimes se...

She don't like small places Give her highways and byways And don't get stuck in her head And it's been so long And I will read into everything you don't say All of your silent ways I'm a dog lying down on a warm bit of pavement Checking this collar you...

I was scared of dentists and the dark I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations Oh, all my friends are turning green You're the magician's assistant in their dreams Oh Oh and they come unstuck Lady, running down to the riptide Taken away...

There's a fire starting in my heart, Reaching a fever pitch It's bringing me out the dark Finally, I see you crystal clear Go ahead and lay me out I'll see your ship lay bare, See how I leave with every piece of you, Don't underestimate the things that...

[Chorus] Oh, Saturday Sun I met someone Out on the West Coast I gotta get back, I can't let this go Oh, Saturday Sun I met someone Don't care what it costs No ray of sunlight's ever lost [Verse 1] So tired of sleepin' alone So tired of eatin' alone...

Waiting for you baby, Through the coldest days, Huddled in the back seat of the van And I know a girl who would wait until it's dark When she sings the heavens part And I held my ground When I heard those sounds Coming up And I must have cried When I...

Walk in the front door, drop my keys Take my shoes off and go Straight into your arms; keep me safe And I don't feel like myself I been waiting to go Straight into your arms; keep me safe Ooh, I've been gone since yesterday And I fell straight, straigh...

[Verse 1] There's an ocean inside my head Waves that don't ever rest This kind of beauty ain't ordinary You look, but do you really see? [Pre-Chorus] Won't you take your time on me? 'Cause we got nowhere else to be [Chorus] We'll go dancing in the k...

Why... Why did you go wasting your time on me You're so beautiful now There's so much that's left for you now O, yeah, babe And why... Why did you go flashing those eyes at me You know that i am eager to please I've always been eager to please You O,...

Think you're in control until you're not And you're so in love until you're not Find a place where we can be alone Find a place where we can be ourselves So aim high, and aim true Oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh I'm falling Like a feather falling past...

[Verse 1] Under the surface you don't know what you'll find Hmm, until it's your time No second chances but all we can do is try Hmm, I made up my mind [Pre-Chorus] I can't see you But I hear your call Baby, hold on now [Chorus] We're going home I...

Storm rolled in to our surprise It doesn't rain under the tall trees You were my lover, you were my tree You would always protect me It's easier to take a heart than to let your own by taken I love that little smile you keep in the corner of your mou...

Hold me up to the light Tell me if the sun comes shining through And I've got this heaviness in my chest Since your love came breaking through And I wanna know where it's coming from Where is this coming from? Where is this coming from? And I wanna kno...

I miss you more than you could know I watch the grass on the back lawn grow And I will not allow winds of change to blow And I hope you decide to come back home Cause this heavy heart, oh, how it's yearned Cause I've been alone far too long When are you...
