1.I Am Weary (Let Me Rest)
Lyricist:Peter V. Kuykendall A/k/a Pete Roberts
Kiss me mother kiss your darlin'
Lay my head upon your breast
Throw your loving arms around me
I am weary let me rest
Seems the light is swiftly fading
Brighter scenes they do now show
I am standing by the river
Angels wait to take me home
Kiss me mother kiss your darlin'
See the pain upon my brow
While I'll soon be with the angels
Fate has doomed my future now
Through the years you've always loved me
And my life you've tried to save
But now I shall slumber sweetly
In a deep and lonely grave
Kiss me mother kiss your darlin'
Lay my head upon your breast
Throw your loving arms around me
I am weary let me rest
I am weary let me rest
2.Everybody's Reaching Out For Someone
Lyricist:Dickey Lee, Allen Reynolds
Just like the trees along the river bend
Lift up their branches to the sun above
We spend our lifetime reaching for a friend
'Cause everybody needs someone to love
Everybody's reaching out for someone
Everybody's knocking at some door
And long before I ever found you
You're the one that I was reaching for
I wanted you since the day my life began
I've heard your footsteps running just beyond my mind
Ever since the moment I've been reaching for your hand
Hoping you'd be reaching out for mine
Everybody's reaching out for someone
Everybody's knocking at some door
And long before I ever found you
You're the one that I was reaching for
Everybody's reaching out for someone
And long before I ever found you
