Hey friend why do we always hide
It's no wonder that we're sinking down
Why should we stand in lonely shadows
with so much light around.
Hey Friend why do we always cry
so many tears are going to dry us out
what ever they're selling
we better stop buying
cause' our pockets are empty now.
Chorus
I thought about it and I prayed about it out loud out loud
And we can talk about it we can pray about it out loud out loud
Third Verse is the same as first two
and the chorus is the same
Ain't it time we need a change
we need to change a few things a few things
Think its time we need a change
we need to change a few things a few things
Chorus

To my surprise I turn around
The devil's got a hold on me
How was I supposed to know
The devil got so damn pretty?
Oh, you little devil
You got so pretty, you little fool
He pulls me in, he tears me down
He chews me up just to spit me out
But he holds me close like he's my best friend
When I open up he steals everything
He's gone again
I thought he'd have two big horns
and look at me with big red eyes
Instead he wore those baby blues
and whispered promises and lies
Oh, you little devil
You got so pretty, you little fool
He pulls me in, he tears me down
He chews me up just to spit me out
And he holds me close like he's my best friend
When I open up he steals everything
He's gone again
Oh, how he loves to watch me fall
He doesn't know I've already lost it all...
He pulls me in, he tears me down
He chews me up just to spit me out
And then he holds me close like he's my best friend
When I open up he steals everything
And he's gone again
He steals everything
And he's gone again...

The edge of Love
The edge of Love, like a knife
Shimmer shines when it hits the light
Just like that It'll change a life
And it makes time stand still
It makes time stand still
The edge of Love, here I stand
Feels like sky where they should be land
I want to fly, want to take your hand
And just let time stand
Just let time stand still
The weather's fine
Maybe I'm your leap of faith
I know it's right
cause you're my amazing grace
and you make time stand still
The edge of Love, here I stand
Feels like sky where they should be land
I want to fly, want to take your hand
And just let time stand
Just let time stand still
The edge of Love, the only way
Just give it all for heaven's sake
and when we fall God will keep us safe
And that's when time stands still
That's when time stands still

Verse 1
Love is a heartache
you live and learn it
take what you need from me
you have won my favor
yours is bright light
a soul on fire
my inspriation
you take my spirit higher.
CHORUS
So keep on dancing through my dreams
don't wander far from me
if somebody tries to steal you away
please stay.
Verse 2
If I were to lose this
I don't know what I'd do
It's hard to imagine
A life without having a love so true.
So keep on dancing through my dreams
don't wander far from me
if somebody tries to steal you away
keep on dancing through my dreams
don't wander far from me
if somebody tries to steal you away
please stay.
please stay

Tennessee, you've been good to me
Yes, I've come to believe you're where I wanna be
You may not be what everybody needs
but Tennessee, you're good enough for me
I can see stars shining in your night
Your daytime seems like Cash and Patsy Cline
They may not be what everybody needs
But they touch my soul
That's good enough for me
It's been ten years now, and I'm rooted in your soil
I am rooted in your soil
Give me ten more years, I'll be rooted in your soil
Right here in your soil
You may not be what I will always need
But I call you home
If I can call you home
Then you're good enough for me

Bird on the telephone wire
Come down and sing to me
Have you heard from my father
Have you any news to bring
I know I'm not the only one asking
Among wandering souls down here
Can you shout it from the highest peak
Or at least whisper it in my ear
I knocked on the door of my neighbor
To ask him if he had received
The holy key to Heaven
My father promised me
I'm not the only one asking
Among wandering souls down here
So brother if you know the answer
Please whisper it in my ear
I'm reaching for Heaven
Down on my knees, down on my knees
Now I'm finally getting nearer to Heaven
And nearer to thee
I know I'm not the only one asking
Among wandering souls down here
Can you shout it from the highest peak
Or at least whisper it in my ear
Bird on the telephone wire
Come down and sing to me

Verse
What does it matter what's going on outside
With or without us.
It will keep going on just fine.
Got a little Champaign
and plenty of time.
Chorus
What if the world stops turning
What if the sun stops burning.
Would you stay here falling in love
Slowly the world stopped turning
And if the sun stopped burning
We'll just keep on falling in love
Verse
What could be better
then just lying here with you
We got each other
we got a million years or two
This is a fine time to kick of your shoes.
Chorus
What if the world stops turning
What if the sun stops burning.
Would you stay here falling in love
So let the world stop turning
And let the sun stop burning
We'll just keep on falling in love
Chorus
What if the world stops turning
What if the sun stops burning.
We'll just stay here falling in love
So let the world stop turning
And let the sun stop burning
We'll just keep on falling in love.
We'll just stay here falling in love.

Well I know that you love me
I know you think of me a lot
And I know that you care
And you wish I was there when I’m not
From the first of the year
To the last of December,
Seems all I do is try not to remember
That you just forgot …
Yeah you just forgot
Well I'm sure that you miss me
And I know that someday you'll be back
I must’ve just slipped your mind
wonder why didn't I think of that
And the first thing I do when the light hits the window
is think about you and then think its as simple
As you just forgot …
Yeah you just forgot
I bet you tied a string on your finger
left a trail of some kind behind you
keep a note on your pillow
To remind you …
to remind you …
That you just forgot …
Yeah you just forgot
. . .

Baby I think you made me drunk with drama
It's the only way to understand the things you do
Neither one 'cause I could always calm the storm
That's raging as a kind that you're inclined to
You know I love you baby
I'd do anything for us
You know I love you baby
Come on, enough's enough
I don't need a come off soul patience
It's been too much time begging you to stay, yeah
Baby, you run from every situation
But God forbid just might not go your way
You know I love you baby
I'd do anything for us
You know I love you baby
Come on, enough's enough
You do or you don't
Will or you won't
It's all or it's nothing
There's no more inbetween
It's a little or a lie
With something all well of
Is and all it is
I can't take much more of this
You know I love you baby
I'd do anything for you
I love you baby
Even with all you put me through
You know I love you baby
I'd do anything for us
You know I love you baby
Come on, enough's enough, enough's in
You know I love you
I'd do anything for you

The blood is dry in the wounds I hide
The scars are settling in
So I keep the light low and they still show
I sit and count every stitch
What it means, what it really means
It's time I let everything go
That's killing me and turning me
Spinning me so out of control
I don't want to let go
I don't want to let go
Don't know what for but these open doors
Keep slamming in on me
And if life's a joke then it's getting old
And I hope God's looking out for me
What it means, what it really means
It's time I let everything go
That's killing me and turning me
Spinning me so out of control
I don't want to let go
I don't want to let go
The blood in the wounds I hid
The scars are settling in

Oh my soul craves to go home
to long island shores again
take me back to old north Walk?
to breathe in the harbor wind.
CHORUS
I'll be leaving Tennessee on the first plane
Sunday gone to my family reunion
There my father preached at the church
on the corner of Old Nickels Road
He raised four children in a green house
we are all well and now we are all grown
CHORUS
There my mother Sharron lies deep in the earth of the long island shores
I will visit her grave and plant yellow roses at her stone
CHORUS
I'll be leaving Tennessee on the first plane
Sunday gone to my family reunion
I'll be leaving
gone to my family reunion
Oh my soul craves to go home.

I need peace of mind
and a hopeful heart
to lose this rage
and move out of the dark
I ain't looking for rainbows
or shooting stars
just some peace of mind
and a hopeful heart
I need a peace of mind
and a lullaby
cause theres an angry voice
in my head tonight
tellin' me to do things
that can't be right
I need peace of mind
and a lullaby
and a miracle
for this broken soul
a little miracle
for this broken soul
I need peace of mind
and gentle hand
as I try to change
the way I am
and God forgives me
when I can't
I need peace of mind
and a gentle hand
or a miracle
for this broken soul
a little miracle
for this broken soul
I need peace of mind
and a hopeful heart
. . .
