Absolute Torch And Twang

K. D. Lang Absolute Torch And Twang Lyrics
1.Luck In My Eyes

Lyrics:K.D.Lang/Ben Mink
Music:K.D.Lang/Ben Mink

I can feel a mountain rain
That'll wash away
And shine again
Empty my pockets
That were weighing me down
Sift through my soul
To see what's lost and found
Gonna walk away from trouble
With my head held high
Then look closely you'll see
Luck in my eyes

I can hear a howling wind
That sweeps away
The pain that's been
Take all my sorrow
And I'll cast away
The worries tomorrow
That I had today
Gonna walk away from trouble
With my head held high
Then look closely you'll see
Luck in my eyes

All my troubles, all my troubles, gone
With luck in my eyes
All my worry's all my worry's, gone


2.Three Days

Written:Willie Nelson/Faron Young

Three days that I hate to see arrive
Three days that I hate to be alive
Three days filled with tears and sorrow
Yesterday, today, and tomorrow

There are three days I know I will be blue
Three days I'll dream of you
And it does no good to wish these days to end
'cause the same three days start over again

Three days that I dread to see arrive
Three days that I hate to be alive
Three days filled with tears and sorrow
Yesterday, today, and tomorrow


3.Trail Of Broken Hearts

Lyrics:K.D.Lang/Ben Mink
Music:K.D.Lang/Ben Mink

Trail of broken hearts
Looking back at you
Now and from the start
These words will travel true
The godspeed of trust
Will settle the dust
We've been passing through
Leaving just a part
Down the trail of broken hearts

Broken trail so long
A long and tired past
An emptiness has gone
I've found this place at last
And here will remain
With only the aim
Of staying sure and fast
Leaving just a part
Down the trail of broken hearts


4.Big Boned Gal

Lyrics:K.D.Lang/Ben Mink
Music:K.D.Lang/Ben Mink

She was a big boned gal
From southern alberta
You just couldn't call her small
And you can bet every saturday night
She'd be heading for the legion hall

Put her blue dress on
And she'd curl her hair
Oh she's been waiting all week
And with a bounce in her step
And a wiggle in her walk
She'd be swinging down the street

You could tell she was ready
By the look in her eye
As she slipped in through the crowd
She walked with grace
As she entered the place
Ya, the big boned gal was proud

Hey hey the big boned gal
Ain't no doubt hse's a natural
Shakin' and a'snakin'
And a'breakin' up across the floor
Hey hey the big boned gal
Ain't no doubt she's a natural
Reelin' and a'rockin'
And she's yelling out for more
Now people would come
From miles around
And gather there to dance
But when the big boned gal came shufflin' in
She'd hold them in a trance


5.Didn't I

Lyrics:K.D.Lang/Ben Mink
Music:K.D.Lang/Ben Mink

When I spoke to you
I spit it out with honest tongue now
Didn't I
And all I got from you
Was this thread of hope that I hung to
Didn't I
For all the times I could let go
I dangled there to let you know now
Didn't I
Then I spoke to you
And you took away what I clung to
Oh didn't I
Love you baby
Baby
Oh didn't I
Love you baby
How long till I panic
How long do I wait


6.Wallflower Waltz

Lyrics:K.D.Lang/Ben Mink
Music:K.D.Lang/Ben Mink

Propped up against the gymnasium wall
Leaning with surface lament
Not one whispered word
Nor crack of a smile
Emotions as solid cement
There's no need to sympathize
For kind and sure are those eyes

Are you getting scared my dear
Are you getting scared
To shyly compliment the mirror
To balance the compared
Then falls one solitary tear
Oh, to be the stared
And stumble with the inflicted faults
While stepping the wallflowerr waltz

Held and pushed by unleashed desires
Tethered in self-sacrifice
Reluctantly charmed by being approached
But guarded by one's own device
There's no need to criticize
For kind and sure are those eyes


7.Full Moon Full Of Love


8.Pullin' Back The Reins

Lyrics:K.D.Lang/Ben Mink
Music:K.D.Lang/Ben Mink

Out of nowhere this gust of wind
Brushed my hair and kissed my skin
I aimed to hold a bridled pace
When with love itself I came face to face

Pullin' back the reins
Trying to remain
Tall in a saddle
When all that we had well
Ran away
With a will of its own

I know your soul is wild and free
Like this galloiong inside me
Tossed by instinct and where we land
Is vast and certain of all that's planned

You know, I learned to break the run
And gently harness the love of someone
Yes, and equal parts of wait and trust
Is in control of the both of us


9.Big Big Love


10.It's Me

Lyrics:K.D.Lang/Ben Mink
Music:K.D.Lang/Ben Mink

What you see on t.V
All them sparkles
It ain't me
I am givin' what I can
What I can

Things that I may tell you
Honey, I ain't lyin'
It ain't me
All this talkin' is how I feel
How I feel

I'm not asking for the world
I just wanna be an ordinary girl
Might not be all you want
But it's all you get, it's me

On them shiny pages
All that hairdo
It ain't me
I am showing just what I am
What I am


11.Walkin' In And Out Of Your Arms

Lyrics:K.D.Lang/Ben Mink
Music:K.D.Lang/Ben Mink

Problems find you, at least they try to
Sometimes too easy, just to teach me
Some things that I dare, others they don't care
But still I know there's

Always somebody there to tell me
'bout deep muddy water, why do they bother
Won't be roped and tied down
No I can be found, comin' back 'round
Cause I know

All your lovin', all your charms
All the things that keep me calm
Time apart can do no harm
Walkin' in and out of your arms


12.Nowhere To Stand

Lyrics:K.D.Lang
Music:K.D.Lang

As things start to surface
Tears come on down
Scars of childhood
In a small town

Hurt she pushed inward
Starting to show
Now she'll do some talking
But he'll never know

Tables have turned now
With a child of her own
But she's blind to the difference
What's taught is that's known

Numbed by reaction
Stripped of the trust
A young hheart is broken
Not aware that it's just

A family tradition
The strength of this land
Where what's right and wrong
Is the back of a hand
Turns girls into women
A boy to a man
But the rights of the children
Have nowhere to stand

Memories of children
Are written in stone
Some they get buried
Not to be shown
Still they do linger
Deep down inside
Like a seed that's been planted
And won't be denied
