Bluebird, blue
Flew by caught my eye and I fell in love with blue
Don’t know what to do
Sweet song lead me on I just wanna follow you
Oh, blue
Walk down to the edge of the wood
I know I shouldn’t go but it makes me feel so good
Tall leaves cover me in a hood
and you sing to me da-dee-dee-dee
Oh I feel so understood
Fall in so deep to a warm summer sleep
Caught in a rhyme losing track of the time
No direction to divine
Bluebird, blue
Stay here I know you’re near I just wanna be with you
Don’t know what to do
Your song’s sweet, I forget my feet
Won’t you let me dance with you?
Oh, blue
Take in your flight
on a warm summer night
fly back to me, I’ll forget every need
Just a tangle in the weeds
Bluebird, blue
Flew by caught my eye and I fell in love with blue
Oh, blue

I don’t lie
I just get by
I’m not gonna try to understand
I give it away
Everyday
Don’t think I’m gonna understand
Ooh, gettin out of hand
Don’t you wanna love me all over again
Ooh, comin over me
Don’t you wanna see me, mistreat me and
Try to make a fire burn again
Bless my soul
I fill my bowl
I’m not gonna try to understand
I wait for time
an easy mind
Don’t think I’m gonna understand
Ooh, gettin out of hand
Don’t you wanna love me all over again
Ooh, comin over me
Don’t you wanna see me, mistreat me and
Try to make a fire burn again

Bloodhound

I was looking for clearer skies, I found
I was just staring in the eyes of a bloodhound
I don’t know why you tracked me down
Just smatter the reds and drag the blues around
When you looked for me in the sun
with your shadow on the wall like a canyon
Did you lose the trail at all and fall in
to another winding road of devotion
Tell me my friend
It’s good to see you
Good to see you again
Good to see you
It’s good to see you again, my friend
Did you come on back to me just to say hello
Sing a little symphony howl and moan
You’re gonna run after me, not gonna catch me though
Don’t know what to do, didn’t think I’d see you around
Don’t wanna let you down
It’s good to see you
Good to see you again
Good to see you
It’s good to see you again, old friend

Going down south
Put a song in my mouth
Put a rip in my sleeve
Grass at my feet
A hand on my hip
with a gentleman’s grip
Oh, Steady me
I’ll try not to lead
Oh, I’m learning to dance real slow
Oh, Here it comes again
Heel Toe, Heel Toe, Heel Toe
Down in the bayou
Man, they can hide you
Necks in the reeds swing in the breeze
But don’t mind you Walk inside to kitchen scenes and sweet harmonies
Oh, I’m learning to move as I go
Oh, Here it comes again
Oh no, Oh no, Oh no
Oooh, we move like the wind blows
Oooh, yeah a body knows
Hold on to me
then set me free
Sweet Lafayette
I feel like we’ve met
In a song, in a dream
A second-hand seam
Tight on the skin
We are where we’ve been
I’ve been way down but I’m back again
Oh, I’m learning to dance real slow
Oh, Here it comes again
Heel Toe, Heel Toe, Heel Toe

Cry No More
03:33

No matter how hard I try the pain lingers
Our love’s gone dry like grease on my fingers
Don’t need a reason why, just pull out the stingers
I’m not gonna cry no more
Not gonna cry no more
I know what crying’s for
I’m not gonna cry no more
Sing a lullaby, feel the wind blow
I don’t even sigh when I pass our old windows
There’s someone else inside
That’s just how time goes
I don’t need to cry no more
Not gonna cry no more
I know what tears are for
I don’t need to cry no more
Feels like waking up
No more sleeping
My hearts still beating me up
I wanna go outside and feel the summer
Close my eyes and let the sun burn
Remember the good times more than the others
I’m not gonna cry no more
Not gonna cry no more
I know what crying’s for
I’m not gonna cry no more
Not gonna cry no more
I know what tears are for
I don’t need to cry no more

Oh Brother, Oh Brother
Do you have the time
To get to know each other
In a little pantomime
Tryin to walk the blood line
Oh Sister, Oh Sister
Where has she gone
You’d knew even know you missed her
She’s standing on the lawn
Waitin for love to come take her away
Away
Just trying to get away
But I can’t escape
Mistakes have been made
Chalk it all up to fate
Oh Brother, Hey Brother
Did you really need a dime
Just think it over
You know you ask all the time
You leave your mother crying
You say Sister, Oh Sister
Get off my back
Go and lose your temper, you’ll never get it back
Believe me I’ll be gone
I’m going away
Just trying to get away
But I can’t escape the choices they made
Oh we’re tryin to get away
But we can’t escape
Chalk it all up to fate
Oh Brother, Oh Brother are you a friend of mine?

Diamond rivers
run in streaks
Down my lovers cheeks
They run for weeks and cut so deep
Tell my lover I’m at peace
Now that he sleeps
Forever sleeps
I feel a breeze blow through me in a slow eddy
I’m not ready to leave
Carry me
Gary
Marry Me,
Your Emily

Love Song

Up in the morning
I know you’re there and the sun will rise
Back of the evening lay down somewhere and we close our eyes
I can’t count on anything but the day and night
I wanna write you a love song with my life
Another season and that old moonlight shines down on us
Don’t got a reason to be out tonight, just a wanderlust
I can’t count on anything
Come rain, Come rust
I wanna write you a love song you can trust
Going way downtown tonight
Gonna feel it out alright
Gonna down this town tonight
Head held high
Sometimes I wonder if it’s hard to know a world so bright
The technicolor of a loving soul dimmed to black and white
I can’t count on anything but the stars in the sky
I wanna write you a love song with my life
Going way downtown tonight
Gonna feel it out alright
Gonna down this town tonight
Head held high
I wanna write you a love song with my life
Gonna write you a love song with my life
Let me write you a love song with my life

Let’s get out of town, go swimming, swimming
Move your arms around and we’re wading so far out
Nothing to cry about when baby made a sound
Let’s get out of here, go flying, flying
You’re so pretty dear, when you’re minding
Aren’t you now? higher than a cloud
when baby made a sound
Oh didn’t you find me
drawing a line
we’ve been dragging it out
Oh, didn’t you know me
nothing to show we’ve gotta get out
Let’s get out of town, go sailing, sailing
Throw the anchor down and head to heaven with me now
Angel on the bow
My baby made a sound Baby made a sound

Lord please, follow me home
Cause I’m down on my knees and I feel alone
Home, got nowhere to call home
No one to call home
When I’m out on the town I get what I need
No one waiting around for this tumble weed
at home
Got nowhere to call home
No one to call me home
They tell me my time will come and my soul will rise
over shadow and stone, The final surprise
Home
Won’t somebody take me home
I wanna go home
