Unbound

The Refugees Unbound Lyrics
1.Unbound

Ten million miles cross the universe
Drag myself around
Searching for the end of thirst
Before the weight of sorrow takes me down

I saw a river in the distance
It vanished in the sand
Right there right then I knew
Where I am is where I'll make my stand

Driven by one sole desire
Follow where it leads

Chorus:

Break free, let me
Be unbound
To stand just once
On holy ground
Some day somehow
Oh to be unbound

Ten million roads leading anywhere
All of them unmarked
to get from here to there, gotta take that leap
Out into the dark

Under the sky tonight I realized
Some things you do alone
you navigate the constellations
And hope they bring you home

I'll throw my dreams to the fire
Like a refugee

Chorus:

Driven by one sole desire
Follow where it leads

Chorus:


2.Jellico Highway

Somewhere in eastern Kentucky
With a whole lot of time left to kill
I decided to get off the Interstate
And drive on up into the hills

As I crossed the Tennessee border
With my thoughts scattered over the road
I've been trying like hell to forget you
But leaving you left me so cold

Chorus:

Somewhere on the Jellico Highway
It hit me so hard I could cry
I told you I didn't love you
God knows I was tellin' a lie
Somewhere on the Jellico Highway
I realized that I said good-bye

If I know you as well as I think I do
You're already moving on
You said if I ever left you
You wouldn't linger in the loss too long

And I'm out here driving to nowhere
With my tears and a full tank of gas
Cursing myself for failing you
And the fact that I acted so fast

Chorus:

Somewhere in eastern Kentucky
With a whole lot of time left to kill
I decided to get off the Interstate
And drive on up into the hills

Chorus:


3.Fishin' In The Dark

There's a yellow moon coming up tonight
Shining through the trees
Crickets are jumpin'
And the lightning bugs are floating on the breeze
Baby get ready

Across the field where the creek turns back
By the old stump road
I'm going to take you to a special place
That nobody knows
Baby get ready
Ooo wee

Chorus:

You and me going fishing in the dark
Lying on our backs and counting the stars
Where the cool grass grows

Down by the river in the full moon light
We'll be falling in love in the middle of the night
Just moving slow

Stay the whole night through
Feels so good to be with you

Spring is almost over and the summers comin'
The days are getting long
Waited all winter for the time to be right
Just to take you along
Baby get ready

And it don't matter if we sit forever
And the fish don't bite
Jump in the river and cool ourselves
from the heat of the night
Baby get ready
Ooo wee

Chorus:


4.There's A Spy In The House Of Love

There's a spy in the house of love
And he knows what I'm thinking of
He's making plans in places high above
In the house of love, in the house of love

I had dreams, they've been laid to waste
I lost the time and I lost the taste
I need him now to meet me face to face
in the house of love
in the house of love

Chorus:

Someday I'll find out who it is
and when I do he'll probably go
and the message can only be his
Whatever it says I need to know

There's a spy, he's in every room
Has no name only a nom de plume
It's hard to rise above the sense of doom
In the house of love, in the house of love

Chorus:

He's got a reason that he's following me
And why we're on this crazy ride
Can't take the answer it was meant to be
Maybe that's why he's still at my side

I will wait in the house of love
Until I'm sure what I'm thinking of
And when I do some angel up above
Will come on home to the house of love

Chorus:


5.You Plant Your Fields

My father said some things you learn
By doing when it comes your turn
Everything comes around so be ready while you can
Prepare your heart like the farmer turns the land

Chorus:
You plant your fields
When the spring is tender
When the summer beats down
You pray for rain
You hope for the harvest
And the long cold winter
And then you plant your fields again

He spoke right to my restless soul
Still wild and hungry and beyond control
For all that you dream well there's a time and a place
But you won't know it until it comes your way


6.Stickin' With My Baby's Love

I like to flirt, I like to tease
I like to bring those boys right down to their knees
It's fun to look and catch their eyes
It doesn't hurt at all to fantasize
Cause when push comes to shove
I'm stickin' with my baby's love

Well, I might strut and show some skin
If there's a little game going baby count me in
And if by chance I brush your arm
It's nothin' personal I don't mean no harm
But when push comes to shove
I'm stickin' with my baby's love

I come home
He's at the door
I remember what I'm holding out for
Those other guys
Promise a thrill
No one can give it like my baby will

Ooh ooh ee it's a natural fact
Just him and me and I like it like that
Cause when push comes to shove
I'm stickin' with my baby's love


7.I Gotta Believe In Something

I can't figure it out
As if I ever could
Everything I planned
Didn't work out like I thought it would

I've had my share of tragedy
I've felt the darkness cover me
Till I can't see

Chorus:

But I gotta believe in something
I gotta believe in something
That there's just plain nothing
Don't sit right with me

I gotta hold on to something
I gotta hold on to something
Even if it's nothing
But a little dream

Some days just breathing
Is all that I can do
And I curse the disappearance
Of everything I knew

But there's only so many tears I can cry
I need to point my soul to the light
So I can see

Chorus:

I can't figure it out
As if I ever could
Everything I planned
Didn't work out like I thought it would

Chorus:

I gotta believe in something
I gotta believe in something
I can't live with nothing
To believe


8.The Violin Song

Mommy, I don't wanna practice violin
Mommy I hate it and I want to quit
At best the lessons are a bore
I dread the moment she walks through the door You think that if
I give up I'll regret it when I'm older but I won't

Mommy, I don't wanna play the violin
Mommy, watch me throw it at the wall and (only kidding)
The orchestra is fine for some
The truth is I'm not having fun
You say that I will thank you when you're gone but if you're
dead how will you know

I'll eat my broccoli and never misbehave
Isn't that a good trade
Think of the money you'll save
Mommy, please

Mommy, I don't even like the violin
Mommy, I'd rather play the bass guitar or drums
So add this to your mounting list
Of things to talk about with your therapist
I'm sure she'll say we're better off without this albatross
around our necks
Jascha Heifitz, Itzahk Perlman, Isaac Stern, is that what you
expect?

Ma-ma-ma-mommy, I don't wanna play the violin
Ma-ma-ma-mommy, I don't wanna practice violin
Ma-ma-ma-mommy, are you listening


9.All My Angels

In the night time
As the cool breeze comes up
I let it brush against my face
With a healin' touch

I lay down
I close my eyes
I let this weary day slip away

Chorus:
Then they come to me
Gather me up
And I fly out on the wings of love
And they comfort me
Yeah, they know me well
All my angels

I am
One of the restless ones
Driven by the wind
Like the summer dust
I got an angry heart
But a willin' soul
And when I go to sleep tonight
I know

Chorus:

When I'm suffering
I see their faces shining
Angels of mercy-Angels of Light
Carry me

Chorus:


10.Box Of Broken Hearts

Take a little pepper, shake a little salt
Try to make something special out of nothing
If it don't work out, It's nobody's fault
Just need a little practice in the kitchen

Chorus:
But when the sun comes up in the morning
I try to see it as a lucky day
When my head comes up off the pillow
I move my feet
I never take things for granted
I've seen the world fall apart
You'll never be inside my box of broken hearts

If I find a little honey I try to make it last
Take every chance I can get to taste it
I know so many people who live on broken glass
They find something sweet and then they waste it

Chorus:

This is what I've waited for
This is love I can't ignore
It feels so good, baby it's all right
I never take things for granted
I've seen the world fall apart
You'll never be inside my box of broken hearts


11.On My Way

They were standing by the side of the road
I could tell what was happening at a glance
From the look on her face as he spoke
He was doin' the getaway dance, the getaway dance

I meant to get out of my car
tell her someday she'll laugh looking back
but it might slow me down if she put up her guard
and I haven't got time for that, time for that cause

Chorus:

I'm on my way, though I don't know where I'm going
As soon as I get there I will call
I'm on my way, but there is no way of knowing
If I can get anywhere at all
Anywhere at all

The telephone rings in my head
Is somebody sending good will?
No it's trucks in the distance instead
The screechin' of brakes in the hills, of brakes in the hills

The needy, the sick, and the poor
Are waitin' for Jesus and me
They're forming a line headed right to my door
But Jesus is busy til 3, he's busy til 3
It's all up to me, so

Chorus:

the road to hell as we all know
is paved with good intentions
you can't arrive unless you go
did I mention

Chorus:


12.Save The Best For Last

Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes round the moon
I see the passion in your eyes
Sometimes it's all a big surprise
Cause there was a time when all I did was wish
You'd tell me this was love
Its not the way I hoped or how I planned
But somehow it's enough
And now were standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last

All of the nights you came to me
When some silly girl had set you free
You wondered how you'd make it through
I wondered what was wrong with you

Cause how could you give your love to someone else
And share your dreams with me
Sometimes the very thing you're looking for
Is the one thing you can't see

And now were standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last

Sometimes the very thing you're looking for
Is the one thing you can't see

Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes round the moon
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last
You went and saved the best for last
