Head Up
03:03
|

Head up girl, you don't cry no more
Now life is good and the water it flows
And the water it flows
Stand up girl, and hold your head up high
Get the sun on your face and let them tears dry
And they water it flows
Move on girl, coz there's no end
With your glass half full you got more than them
And the water it flows
And the water it flows to the river mouth
Wash your hands clean
Lay your burdens down
And the water it flows

We Need To Start Again

Sold my soul long ago
But it didn't get me very far
Oh, what I wouldn't give
To be hear with you
Without any of these scars
Let's hit the road and we'll never look back
There's things that money can't buy
And I want some of that
Leave our quarrels behind
Let's leap on forward
With your hand in mind
I don't need nothing more
Sold my soul long ago
But it didn't get me very far
Oh, what I wouldn't give
To be hear with you
Without any of these scars
Don't look back there's a mess that I left
And we'll be swept away
Sold my soul long ago
But it didn't get me very far
Oh, what I wouldn't give
To be hear with you
Without any of these scars

Diggin' Holes
02:45
|
|||
Oh Lord, I've dug some holes
And there ain't no tellin', how much more
Keep on diggin', 'til I'm done
'Til I'm done
Oh now the devil did say
There was an easy way but I'd have to pay
I said no sir, I am sincere
I'll just keep on a diggin' down here
Oh Lord, I've made my bets
Ain't my money, some regrets
Keep on chancin', 'til I'm spent
'Til I'm spent
How will I ever learn
I'm running in circles with nowhere to turn
These heavy clouds, gon' fill my cup
I might drown for this habit dries up
Oh Lord, I had my fill
Whiskey and wine, and every pill
Keep on uppin', 'til I'm down
'Til I'm down
Never thought this far I'd go
Oh my love I'm far from home
Never thought this far I'd fall
Things I'd change not one at all

Part I (They Came)
04:10
|

It's time to go baby
Just tell me where you'll be waiting
It's ok to go baby
I don't want you to be hurting
My heart is broken and it bleeds
My love for you is not over
I'll carry you with me
It's okay to go baby
There's no more pain where you'll be
Just let go baby
I don't know if there's anything
You slipped away so easily
Baby can you hear me?
I just hope you find peace
I felt your hands on my shoulders
As they took you away
They came to take you away
They came and took you away
I can't breathe, I can't breathe no more
Now I'm damned and lost
They came to take you away
They came and took you away
When the death rattle comes
You know it won't be long
They came to take you away
They came and took you away
When you're dead and gone
My world won't be no more
They came to take you away
They came and took you away

Tell Me When It's Over
02:48
|
|||
Time will tell us when it's over
The quicker it comes, for some others
There's no omen, only mourning
Means nothing at all, 'cept for their lovers
Told my brother I can't go on
I found failure every corner I turn
There's no purpose, and hope is long lost
And there's no kindness in strangers no more
It's our funeral and it's a farse
I found faith in nothin', there's no trust
Say a prayer for me, for i'm lost
See each other for what, what we are
Time will tell us when it's over
The quicker it comes, for some others
Wake and wonder
Congregating together for loss
We should do better
Drop your armor
Down your guard
Never feel warmer against two beating hearts

Oh, Cruel World
02:57
|
|||
My mother, she told me why
Told me why the world wouldn't wanna treat me right
I wondered, I wondered why
What I had done to deserve this life
My father, for he cried
His little girl was gonna have one hell of a fight
He couldn't hold her hand
It was a lesson to learn on her own; to take a stand
Oh, cruel world
Oh, my girl
Treat her right
Oh, cruel world
My sister, we said goodbye
I knew it wasn't you all this time
My brother, you'll be alright
For the first time I've seen you smile
My lover, I'll hold you tight
And never let go while I'm alive
We'll keep each other safe
And try to make the world a better place
Oh, cruel world
Oh, my girl
Treat her right
Oh, cruel world
