'Til I See the Light
03:45
|
|||
I met you while on leave that night
A yellow dress and a smile that dropped every man in sight
It took every ounce of courage, and maybe a shot or two
But by the end of the night - I knew I found my soul in you
Oh, kiss me like we’ve no tomorrow
Hold me ‘till my veins run dry
Love me like the sky’s on fire
Oh, baby, stay with me ‘til the morning light
See, this war, it’s slowly beat me down
It’s crushed my spirit deep into the ground
The few friends I have left are not those I once knew
The blood and death have made a mess of the minds of this poor crew
Oh, kiss me like we’ve no tomorrow
Hold me ‘till my veins run dry
Love me like the sky’s on fire
Oh, baby, stay with me ‘til the morning light
The battle rages as we advance
Shouts to God to end the pain are screeching through the land
All at once. cold steel rips right through my chest
Red stained hands fade to black, then to you in that yellow dress
Oh, kiss me like we’ve no tomorrow
Hold me ‘till my veins run dry
Love me like the sky’s on fire
Oh, baby, stay with me ‘til the morning light
Kiss me cause there’s no tomorrow
Hold me as my veins bleed dry
Love me now, my sky’s on fire
Oh, baby, stay with me ‘til I’ll see the light
As the angels lead me home tonight

Falling
04:07
|

How did this happen
How do we make this right
Where do we go from here
‘Cause I still think of you at night
I think I’m falling for you, falling down
Into a place we’re both gonna drown
Please stop pulling me, into this sinking hole
I can’t find my way out
I wish I could tell you
I wish I could say it out loud
But you wouldn’t say the same
To you it’s a game with my heart
I think I’m falling for you, falling down
Into a place we’re both gonna drown
Please stop pulling me, into this sinking hole
I can’t find my way out
I think I’m falling for you, falling down
Into a place we’re both gonna drown
Please stop pulling me, and I’ll stop pulling you
Then we’ll find our way out

The Axeman
02:50
|
|||
The axeman awaits, as the sun finds its place
And hides away for the night
The cool summer breeze hangs itself in the trees
And slowly dies out with the light
Blow after blow the axe finds it’s home
As he drops each tree one by one
He hums a sweet tune and enters the next room
And keeps at his "holy" work
Oooooo….. Ooooo…..
He comes to the eighth: the last one that day
Strained from a job well done
Cleaning his axe, that’s bloodied with sap
He leaves with a meal not begun
Oooooo….. Ooooo…..
“Suffer the children, to come unto me”
God whispered to him in his sleep
He left next day, caught the 5:19 train
With a tale too dark to keep
Early the next day the police found the eight
Murdered in bed while they slept
A family lay dead, sheets covering their heads
And not a trace but the axe had been left

In My Dreams
03:24
|
|||
My soul aches for love it’s never seen
The loss of something never had
Sits deep in my bones
You’ve slipped out of reach Time and time again
You’ve come and gone too many times
Had you for a breath
Ooh… Ooh…
I dream of holding you, breathing you, feeling you on me
I long for the day of meeting you again
Of loving you, but until then
See you in my dreams
Ooh… Ooh…

Can't Be Trusted
03:41
|
|||
Paint me with your wisdom
Cover me from head to toe
So I could see this coming
A mile or two ago
You chose follow down this road
On your own accord
I led us to this dark, dark hole
Where you held me once before
Oh, don't leave me out on my own
Oh, I can't be trusted
Blame me for your wrongs
As you press this knife into my back
Might as well push it deep
Before I turn the blade with my attack
Our love has made a run
One last chance for escape
And I will hunt it down now
With these traps that I have made
Oh, don't leave me out on my own
Oh, I can't be trusted
Oh, after all that I've done
Oh, I can't be trusted
Don't leave me; don't leave me here all alone
Don't leave me; don't leave me here
Oh, don't leave me out on my own
Oh, I can't be trusted
Oh, after all that I've done

You Are My Sunshine
04:33

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
So please don't take my sunshine away
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke dear, I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried
I'll always love you and make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me to have another
You'll regret it all someday
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
So please don't take my sunshine away
In all my dreams, dear, you seem to leave me
When I awake my poor heart pains
So when you come back and make me happy
I'll forgive you and take the blame
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
So please don't take my sunshine away
Please don't take my sunshine away
Please don't take my sunshine away...
