The Desert Rose Band Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Will This Be The Day

Lyricist:Steve Hill, Chris Hillman

She used to cry just a little each day
She used to feel so alone and betrayed
And she won't feel sorry for the rest of her life
This just might be the day, this just might be the day

Here on a lonely afternoon
The strangest feeling in the room
Will I remember this how it feels right now?
This just might be the day, this just might be the day

Will this be the day?
Maybe this is the day I'll remember
Will this be the way?
Maybe this is the way I'll remember

When she took my hand
And whispered to me, 'We can make it'
And I looked in her eyes
I said nothing can take you away

Oh, I've got to believe
In the resurrecting power for me
It can heal your pain, it can blow you away
This just might be the day, this just might be the day

Will this be the day?
Maybe this is the day I'll remember
Will this be the way?
Maybe this is the way I'll remember

When she took my hand
And whispered to me, 'We can make our way'
And I looked in her eyes
I said nothing can take you away, yea

Will this be the day?
Maybe this is the day I'll remember
Will this be the way?
Maybe this is the way I'll remember

When she took my hand
And whispered to me, 'We can make it'
And I looked in her eyes
I said nothing can take you

Will this be the day?
Maybe this is the day I'll remember
Will this be the way?
Maybe this is the way I'll remember


2.Start All Over Again

Lyricist:Steve Hill, Chris Hillman

Do I have to change my name
Move to another town, start all over again?
Nothing seems to feel the same
Whenever you're around, you treat me like an old friend

Do I have to fake love, do I have to make love
From the punishments and promises you hand to me?
What is this attitude if this is really you?
Then you're not all that you make yourself out to be

I see that you've been courtin' fame
Under another name, tell me where does it end?
Just who's the one you're looking for
Behind that unknown door, should I start over again?

Do I have to fake love, do I have to make love
From the punishments and promises you hand to me?
What is this attitude if this is really you?
Then you're not all that you make yourself out to be

But I've got a brand new life
I've got the song of love
And if only you could share
All that I'm dreaming of

Do I have to fake love, do I have to make love
From the punishments and promises you hand to me?
What is this attitude if this is really you?
Then you're not all that you make yourself out to be

Do I have to change my name
Move to another town, start all over again?
Start all over again, start all over again
Start all over again


3.I Still Believe In You

Lyricist:Steve Hill, Chris Hillman

Beautiful lier, heartless survivor
Where are you taking me now?
Smooth operator, do it all later
When will you ever come down?

I still believe in you now somehow
I still believe in you now

We've been together, year and forever
You should know me by now
There's trouble in my mind
I can't find the right lines, get to you somehow

I still believe in you now somehow
I still believe in you now

And that feeling that I get inside
Every time I see the sun in your eyes
Then the moon starts to crying, our hearts not denying
A feeling we can hold through the night

Beautiful dreamer, make my life sweeter
Dream a song in my heart
I'm running on empty, I know you've been tempted
Close the door from the start

I still believe in you now somehow
I still believe in you now

And that feeling that I get inside
Every time I see the sun in your eyes
Then the moon starts to crying, our hearts not denying
Feeling we can hold through the night

Beautiful lier, heartless survivor
Where are you taking me now?
Smooth operator, do it all later
When will you ever come down?

I still believe in you now somehow
I still believe in you now
I still believe in you now somehow
I still believe in you now


4.Love Reunited

Lyricist:Steve Hill, Chris Hillman

If you want some good advice, don't let her go
She's the one who stood by you
What is this thing you both have become
That leaves love undecided

Don't walk away, don't run from yourself
It's not her for somebody else
It's not a rainbow, you see through tears in your eyes
Don't think love is one sided

Word that were spoken never to be broken
To walk as one for a lifetime
Then comes the doubt and all those greener pasture
That leaves love undecided

Don't walk away, don't run from yourself
It's not her for somebody else
It's not a rainbow, you see through tears in your eyes
Don't think love is one sided

The earth is worn her sides are torn and tattered
Like the sand the ocean gathers
They are as one and no divinely God
Believe in love reunited

Don't walk away, don't run from yourself
It's not her for somebody else
It's not a rainbow, you see through tears in your eyes
Don't think love is one sided
Don't think love is one sided


5.He's Back And I'm Blue

Lyricist:Robert Anderson, Michael Woody

You turn away, you won't look at me
You seem to think that I just can't see
I was hopin' he was out of your heart
But he's still calling you
Now, he's back and I'm blue

I forgot about yesterday
Those memories seem so far away
All it took was just a whisper to start
Flame burning anew
Now, he's back and I'm blue

Ooh, that old feelin'
Fillin' up your dreams again
Ooh, it comes stealin'
Takin' you away

I guess, there's nothing left for me to do
I can't stop it from livin' in you
'Cause the past can only pull us apart
Still you carry it through
Now, he's back and I'm blue

Ooh, that old feelin'
Fillin' up your dreams again
Ooh, it comes stealin'
Takin' you away

You turn away, you won't look at me
You seem to think that I just can't see
I was hopin' he was out of your heart
But he's still calling you
Now, he's back and I'm blue

Now, he's back and I'm blue
Now, he's back and I'm blue


6.One Step Forward

Lyricist:Chris Hillman, Bill Wildes

You held me up, held me down
Made me crazy then you brought me around
Were my darkness and my light
You were my blindness and my sight

Were my shelter and my storm
Made me cold then you made me warm
You were my fever and my cure
Made me doubt and you made me sure

One step forward and two steps back
Nobody gets too far like that
One step forward and two steps back
This kind of dance can never last

You were my hope and my fear
You were my laughter and my tear
Were my destiny and my faith
Kept me movin' and you made me wait

Were my weakness and my power
You were the thorn in the flower
You were my sunshine and the rain
Made me feel so good brought so much pain

Now, one step forward and two steps back
Nobody gets too far like that
One step forward and two steps back
This kind of dance can never last

And we never really meant for each other
We were never really meant to last
In the years that we danced together
Each step forward, we took two steps back
Each step forward, we took two steps back

Now, one step forward and two steps back
Nobody gets too far like that
One step forward and two steps back
This kind of dance can never last

One step forward and two steps back
Nobody gets too far like that
One step forward and two steps back
This kind of dance can never last


7.Summer Wind

Lyricist:Steve Hill, Chris Hillman

Anxious eyes wait by the window
She waits, she hears the wind blow
Taking all she has and she knows
It's a cold summer wind

No, it's not the first time
Her heart feels like the last time
A never ending bad rhyme
Like a cold summer wind

Can't you see what I've been through?
All I've done, I've done for you
Can't you see your world won't end?
It's just the summer wind

Daddy's once a week girl
The only one in my world
Dry your eyes and comb your sweet curls
I'll be coming back again

Yeah, your mom and I we both know
Everyday you live, we all grow
Only God can make the wind blow
Like a warm summer wind

Can't you see what I've been through?
All I've done, I've done for you
Can't you see your world won't end?
It's just the summer wind

I know you want us back together
I know what we've put you through
When you hear the wind blow
It'll bring us close to you

Can't you see what I've been through?
All I've done, I've done for you
Can't you see your world won't end?
It's just the summer wind

Can't you see what I've been through?
(Can't you see what I?)
All I've done, I've done for you
Can't you see what I've been through?
(Can't you see what I?)
All I've done, I've done for you
Can't you see your world won't end?
It's just the summer wind


8.She Don't Love Nobody

Lyricist:John Hiatt

From my humble point of view
She don't love nobody
Nothing borrowed nothing new
She don't love nobody

Behind the green eyes I detect
She don't love nobody
A heart no kiss could resurrect
She don't love nobody

All her life she's been told to hang on tight
There's a man who'd make her his wife
But she's not interested in anything mama says?

She throws passion to the wind
She don't love nobody
She don't give out but she don't give in
She don't love nobody

And if I could, I'd make her mine
But she don't love nobody
And she would never walk that line
She don't love nobody

All my life I've been told to hang on tight
There's a girl who'd be my wife
But I'm not interested in anything mama says

I want the girl who does not need, she don't love nobody
She's the one my heart receives, she don't love nobody
She don't love nobody, oh, she don't love nobody

She don't love nobody
She don't love nobody
She don't love nobody
She don't love nobody


9.Hello Trouble

Lyricist:Orville George Jr Couch, Eddie Mcduff

Woke up this mornin' happy as could be
Look out my window what's that I see?
Comin' up the sidewalk was just as plain as day
Well, here comes trouble that I never thought I'd see
Since you went away

Hello trouble, come on in
Well, you talk about heartaches where the world you've been
I ain't had the misery since you've been gone
Well, hello trouble, trouble, trouble welcome home

We'll make a cup of coffee and you can rest your shoes
And you can tell me them sweet lies and I'll listen to you
Well, it's just a little part of, part of all the life you've
lived
All over, I'd rather have a little bit of trouble
And to never know the love you give

Hello trouble, come on in
Well, you talk about heartaches where the world you've been
I ain't had the misery since you've been gone
Well, hello trouble, trouble, trouble welcome home
Hello trouble, trouble, trouble welcome home


10.Matter Of Time

Lyricist:J. J. Cale

Well the farthest place, you think you can run to
Won't be too far from me
And the longest distance from here to the sun
Won't be too long for me

Woah, oh, oh, I ain't taking no prisoners
Hearing no alibis
Woah, oh, oh, you can run from me, hide from me
You know it's just a matter of time

I'm no stranger, I'm no danger
I've been all around this world
I'm no friend to the lying lowdown
Who try and lay claim to my world

Woah, oh, oh, won't somebody tell her
She's been way out of line
Woah, oh, oh, you can run from me, hide from me
You know it's just a matter of time

I'm just the same old guy I used to be
No better no worse
I'm just the same old long lost lover
Trying to make things work

I'm no believer in things that deceive her
Leaving her broken and blind
I'll be around when it all goes down
You know it's just a matter of time

Woah, oh, oh, won't somebody tell her
She's been way out of line
Woah, oh, oh, you can run from me, hide from me
You know it's just a matter of time

Woah, oh, oh, won't somebody tell her
She's been way out of line
Woah, oh, oh, you can run from me, hide from me
You know it's just a matter of time
You know it's just a matter of time


11.It Takes A Believer

Lyricist:Chris Hillman, Michael Woody

I don't take it for granted, some things that money can't buy
If I'm left empty handed, I'll keep walking the line
If it's really forever, for a while I've got to pretend
We'll be walking together in a dream that will never end

It takes a believer to hold on to the truth
You tell me you've seen her with somebody new
Don't tell me the story, don't tell me the lie
It takes a believer, when the well runs dry

I hear the sound of her footsteps, I feel the presence within
Takes a lot of forgiveness to fall in love again

It takes a believer to hold on to the truth
You tell me you've seen her with somebody new
Don't tell me the story, don't tell me the lie
It takes a believer when the well runs dry

Don't tell me the story, don't tell me the lie
It takes a believer, when the well runs dry
It takes a believer
It takes a believer


12.No One Else

Lyricist:Hillman Chris, Pedersen Herbert

When the mood is quiet somewhere usually late at night
I've got time to think about what you've been sayin'
If it looks like I don't listen, doesn't mean that I don't care
In your heart you know I'll always be there

For the sake of conversation are you tryin' to release
All the feelin's deep inside that you've been hidin'
It used to be so easy to open up our hearts
We always had a silent understandin'

What has tamed this burnin' fire that started long ago
What has taken our desire to believe
If we're meant to be together
We should try to make it right
'Cause holdin' on is all we've got today
And no one else should ever feel this way

I've forgotten more than many you've remembered quite a lot
That's why it really matters what we're sayin'
Don't be led astray by others, always listen to your heart
The dreams we hold together are worth savin'

What has tamed this burnin' fire that started long ago
What has taken our desire to believe
If we're meant to be together
We should try to make it right
'Cause holdin' on is all we've got today
And no one else should ever feel this way

What has tamed this burnin' fire that started long ago
What has taken our desire to believe
If we're meant to be together
We should try to make it right
'Cause holdin' on is all we've got today
And no one else should ever feel this way

If we're meant to be together
We should try to make it right
'Cause holdin' on is all we've got today
And no one else should ever feel this way


13.Behind These Walls

Lyricist:Chris Hillman, Michael Woody

We keep it all inside 'cause there's no where left to hide
Don't worry it's all right, just close the door and lock it
tight

Behind these walls teardrops fall

We play the part so well, sometimes it's hard to tell
That we are both alone, we smile they all know

Behind these walls teardrops fall

We keep pretending it's not over but the rivers overflowing
How long can we keep this going

The look in your eyes has gone and we keep holding on
I guess we should confess, we could find happiness

Tear down these walls where teardrops fall

I guess, we should confess, we could find happiness

Tear down these walls where teardrops fall
Behind these walls where tear drops fall


14.You Can Go Home

Lyricist:Chris Hillman, Jack Tempchin

I went back to my hometown
Christmas snow was on the ground
Saw the girl who used to be
Everything in the world to me

We went down to my old school
Walked the halls remembering the rules
Thought of friends who used to be
Everything in the world to me

My family moved far away we never did return
That girl found someone else to love
Here's the one thing that I've learned

You can go home and that's a fact
You can go home but you can't go back

Saw the house where she used to live
Saw the park where we first kissed
Saw the dreams that used to be
Everything in the world to me

Everything in the world to me
Now just a faded memory
All these years I heard it calling me

You can go home and that's a fact
You can go home but you can't go back
You can go home and that's a fact, that's a fact
You can go home but you can't go back
