Where you been my love? I've been lost and down Don't give me up, my love You can turn me on Sing your siren song Don't give me up, my love Be my morning, be my night Be my sorrow, my delight Take my worry, take my woe Fill my sleepy hollow
2.
Joy Song 03:20
if i'm lost and lonely would you kindly be my friend? help me find my way again if i'm weak and weary with a burden on my chest will you lead me to my rest? oh lord, oh lord and give me joy to be my song if i'm cold and frozen would you kindly take me in? warm me at your fire again if i'm old and lonely and my love is dead and gone would you help me carry on?
3.
Storm 04:19
you rain a river each time you fall and i burn a desert each time i call you cut a canyon deep in my heart you sing in lightning and peel back the dark we push through a mountain and pull through the flood the storm is in our blood you spin a lyric, spin it in my head you sing in silver, but i dream in red you keep us moving, running through the day but i shake a landslide and block our way and we all gotta pull through the flood
4.
Devil's Note 04:07
the mountain's on fire tonight and the wind is rising high and the rain ain't gonna come and put it out so i won't go home now and the blood moon is in the sky and its whisper is in my mind and in my throat hangs a devil's note so i won't go home now and i hear my father call, 'son just give the word, i'll carry you out' but the smoke is in my eyes and the fire is at my toes and in my throat hangs a devil's note so i won't go home now
5.
Winter Song 06:16
winter light, cold and bright so long summer's memory gone the sun falls, and shadows grow so long a new moon will come the trees are still with branches chilled they hunger still for warmth and sunlight at dawn birds know of spring behind the snow and sing for that tomorrow of green and gold (birds know that this snow will melt into spring sing for tomorrow oh hide us in your wings)
6.
some things drag upon your heart and burden your soul frustrate your attempts at control try, try to let your worries go ease them down to the floor let your blues just float away there's nothing to say but it's better off that way there's nothing to do but there's nothing wrong with you some days your head is up in the clouds and you're walking upside down with a lazy song in your mouth sometimes you have the right idea your head's remarkably clear and your blues just float away
7.
too many days on my back and too many nights like that i try to react to life all around me whiskey and gin come to my aid again truthfully, i didn't listen when somebody told me hold your head up when you are aching for love hold your head up you're gonna find it for sure/i know told a girl that i loved her she gave no answer i tried hard to romance her but i was no dancer oh, mercy me why'd i set my heart free? truthfully i didn't bother when somebody offered
