(A.P. Carter - Maybelle Carter - Sara Carter)
And so you have come back to me
And say the old loves growing yet
You've tried through all these weary years
You've tried too vainly to forget.
Oh no, I cannot take your hand
God never gives is back our youth
The loving heart you slighted then
Was yours my friend in perfect truth.
--- Instrumental ---
Come close and let me see your face
Your raven hair is tinged with snow
Oh yes, it is the same dear face
I loved so many years ago.
Oh no, I cannot take your hand
God never gives is back our youth
The loving heart you slighted then
Was yours my friend in perfect truth.
--- Instrumental ---
Farewell, I think I love you yet
As friend to friend God bless you dear
And guide you through these weary years
To where the skies are always clear.
Oh no, I cannot take your hand
God never gives is back our youth
The loving heart you slighted then
Was yours my friend in perfect truth.
--- Instrumental ---
Oh no, I cannot take your hand
God never gives is back our youth
The loving heart you slighted then
Was yours my friend in perfect truth...

I've been higher than the High Sierra
Lower than Death Valley must be
I've been right mostly wrong
Wrong about you, right about me.
The way I feel can't explain
So much passion turned to pain
The sun still shines most of the time
Did you know the sun shines when it rains.
I've been higher than the High Sierra
Lower than Death Valley must be
I've been right mostly wrong
Wrong about you, right about me.
--- Instrumental ---
I've been cussed and I've been praised
And I've been nothing these days
I'll come back time will see
If I'm wrong about you, right about me.
I've been higher than the High Sierra
Lower than Death Valley must be
I've been right mostly wrong
Wrong about you, right about me.
Wrong about you, right about me.
Wrong about you, right about me...

Oh sometimes I go walkin' through fields where we walked
Long ago in the sweet used to be
And the flowers still grow but they don't smell as sweet
As they did when you picked them for me
And when I think of you and the love we once knew
How I wish we could go back in time
Do you ever think back on old mem'ries like that or do I ever cross your mind
[ fiddle - mandolin ]
Do you ever wake up lonely in the middle of the night
Cause you miss me do you darling
Oh and do your mem'ries ever take you back into another place in time
And do you ever miss the feelings and the love we shared
When you were with me tell me darling or do I ever cross your mind
[ guitar ]
Oh how often I wish that again I could kiss your sweet lips like I did long ago
And how often I long for those two lovin' arms that once held me so gentle and close
And when I think of you and the love we once knew
How I wish we could go back in time
Do you ever recall these old mem'ries at all or do I ever cross your mind
Tell me darling do I ever cross your mind

Well I dreamed I saw the knights in armor coming saying something about a queen
There were peasants singing and drummers drumming and the archer split the tree
There was a fanfare blowing to the sun that was floating on the breeze
Look at mother nature on the run in the twentieth century
Look at mother nature on the run in the twentieth century
I was lying in a burned out basement with a full moon in my eyes
I was hoping for a replacement when the sun burst through the skies
There was a band playing in my head and I felt like I could cry
Thinking about what a friend had said I was hoping it was a lie
Thinking about what a friend had said I was hoping it was a lie
[ piano ]
Well I dreamed a saw the silver spaceships flying in the yellow have of the sun
The were children crying and colors flying all around the chosen ones
All in a dream all in a dream the loading had begun
Flying mother nature's silver seed to a new home in the sun
Flying mother nature's silver seed to a new home

Watchin' the long places ridin' this run down track
And the lost places from a dream
That never brings them back
And sad truth is nothing but a cold hard fact.
I'm ridin' the blue train over the miles
Yet to cover a ghost in a hurry to fade
I'm taking it one way to nowhere
Afraid you might be there
To find me inside this blue train.
Countin' the burned bridges
Trailing this rusted wreck
As our back pages scatter in the dust we left
Like a pearl necklace falling from around my neck.
I'm ridin' the blue train over the miles
Yet to cover a ghost in a hurry to fade
I'm taking it one way to nowhere
Afraid you might be there
To find me inside this blue train.
Away down the low road
A ticket to an empty room
A rendezvous unknown.
I'm ridin' the blue train over the miles
Yet to cover a ghost in a hurry to fade
I'm taking it one way to nowhere
Afraid you might be there
To find me inside this blue train.
I'm ridin' the blue train over the miles
Yet to cover a ghost in a hurry to fade
I'm taking it one way to nowhere
Afraid you might be there
To find me inside this blue train...

Though the miles are between us I thought our love would strengthen
As it has so many times before
But something has happened I can see it in your eyes
I can feel my world is crumblin' and the blues are at my door
The last letter that you wrote was on a blue piece of paper
That old feelin's back the clouds are moving in
The beginning of the end is near I feel your love has faded
Into darkness it seems I have no friend I feel the blues movin' in
[ guitar ]
Oh it's not the words you wrote that made me sad and broken hearted
That's put me in this sad shape I'm in
Tween the lines are mixed emotions and there's teardrops on the paper
You said that's all I'll write today I'll cose for now old friend
The last letter that you wrote...
[ fiddle ]
My state of mind is desperate and this hole that I'm sinking in
Gets deeper while I'm digging to get out
Oh please give the right answer to the questions I'm asking
Tell me you still love me that would turn my world about
The last letter that you wrote...
I feel the blues movin' in I feel the blues movin' in
[ mandolin - fiddle ]

You'll never be the sun turning in the sky
And you won't be the moon above us on a moonlit night
And you won't be the stars in heaven although they burn so bright
But even on the deepest ocean you will be the light
You may not always shine as you go barefoot over stone
You might be so long together or you might walk alone
And you won't find that love comes easy but that love is always right
So even when the dark clouds gather you will be the light
And if you lose the part inside
When loves turns round on you leaving the past behind
Is knowing you'll do like you always do holding you blind keeping you true
[ guitar ]
You'll never be the sun...
You will be the light you will be the light
. . .

A light shines from my window I just can't sleep no more
Lord it hurts so much to be alone
But the real men never do admit that it's them that might be wrong
At least that's what he told me in his song
He rode all the way to Texas on an old freight train
Didn't miss the girl he left behind
He rode all the way to Texas didn't shed a tear
He's lettin' you know that he's the moving kind
The freedom that he sings about I guess I'll never know
I just can't shake the guilt or kill the pain
But he lets me ride when the lights turns low get on board the radio
And take a ride to Texas on his train
He rode all the way to Texas...
He's lettin' you know that he's the moving kind
. . .

(Randy Newman)
Something in your eyes makes me wanna lose myself
Makes me wanna lose myself in your arms
There's something in your voice makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts the rest of my life.
If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how long I've felt so low
If you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my life the way you've done.
Feels like home to me feels like home to me.
Feels like I'm all the way back where I come from
Feels like home to me feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong.
--- Instrumental ---
A window breaks down a long dark street
And a siren wails in the night
But I'm alright 'cause I have you here with me
And I can almost see through the dark there's light.
If you knew how much this moment means to me
And how long I've waited for your touch
If you knew how happy you are making me
I've never thought I'd love anyone so much.
Feels like home to me feels like home to me.
Feels like I'm all the way back where I come from
Feels like home to me feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong...

(Kieran Kane - James Paul O'Hara)
Trouble we have known
trouble in our struggle just to get by
Many times the burden's been heavy
still we carried on side by side
And when we're gone, long gone
The only thing that will have mattered
Is the love that we shared
And the way that we cared
When we're gone, long gone.
--- Instrumental ---
And when we're walking together in glory
Hand in hand through eternity
It's the love that will be remembered
Not wealth not poverty.
And when we're gone, long gone
The only thing that will have mattered
Is the love that we shared
And the way that we cared
When we're gone, long gone.
When we're gone, long gone
The only thing that will have mattered
Is the love that we shared
And the way that we cared
When we're gone, long gone...
