1.Sleep Away Your Troubles
If I beg you will you smother me
Just to put me out of my constant misery
This is too much for me to bear
You'd know this too if you ever had been there
I hope you have sweet dreams
And I hope You never leave me
I wander thorugh these empty halls
As the moon casts shadows of just me upon the walls
My time wasted in endless regret
While you sleep away your troubles and forget
I hope you have sweet dreams
And I hope you never leave me
2.The Places We Go
When I left there was nothing to see
Nothing to cherish and nothing to be
These days it's alright to me
Maybe I'll stay awhile
The Northern air
Still carries the sound of my prayer
Hearts break and time takes it toll on
The places we go
This tiny piece of blue sky
I can see from where I lie
Is bluer and brighter than I
Ever thought possible
The Northern air
Still carries the sound of my prayer
Hearts break and time takes it toll on
The places we go
Is it merely the moon in the sky
That is making my heart misbehave
Taking back what i gave
Pieces are once again whole
What was broken is mended
That story's ended
When I left there was nothing to see
Nothing to cherish and nothing to be
These days it's alright to me
Maybe I'll stay awhile
The Northern air
Still carries the sound of my prayer
Hearts break and time takes it toll on
The places we go
3.These Sad Times
Your hand is mine suddenly
What do you find so new in me
It's just today that makes you hink you care
Tomorrow will bring you a new affair
You don't need me like you say you do
It's just these sad times we're going through
Your heart can see what it missed before
I'll still just me, nothing less or more
it's just today that is bewtiching you
I think tomorrow you will see that too
You don't need me like you say you do
It's just these sad times we're going through
Your hand is mind so suddenly
When did you find this good in me
It's just the day that you don't want to end
Tomorrow you'll fall out of love again
You don't need me like you say you do
It's just these sad times we're going through
4.The Beginning Of The End
Are you loving how you're living
Is it treating you well
Do you greet the early morning alone
Are you leaving who is loving you
In spite of it all
Are you closing it down
To get away from it all
Goodbye my friend
Can't see you again
It's the beginning of the end
Are you spending time around
All the new kids in town
Never a moment alone
It seems so easy for you
But what am I to do
I'm all closed down
Don't want to start anew
You were my best friend
I'll start over again
It's the beginning of the end
Are you loving how you're living
Is it treating you well
Do you greet the early morning alone
Are you leaving who is loving you
In spite of it all
Are you closing it down
To get away from it all
Goodbye my friend
Can't see you again
It's the beginning of the end
5.Just A Day
I wish I could draw a line
Through all of nineteen ninety-nine
All except that moment in spring
When I had everything
I had everything
It's funny how a year can make
So much of only one mistake
All I wanted was the life I planned
But now I understand
Now I understand
I wish I had never known
A heart that beats just like my own
How can one so close become so far away
In just a day
In just a day
6.Me And The Bees
Take it downstairs
No one here cares
Take it outside
Find someplace good to hide
Now it's just me and the bees
In a cyclone of falling leaves
Go for a ride
The road opens wide
Nobody knows
These trials and woes
Now it's just me and the bees
In a cyclone of falling leaves
Caught in the wind
Coldest I've ever been
Too bad it's true
I'm still in love with you
Now it's just me and the bees
In a cyclone of falling leaves
7.Holiday In Rhode Island
In your letter you didn't say
The weather would be so dreadful
But I'm so glad to be here
It's just you and me now honey
Far from the west coast
Where you've never been and
You long to see someday
Wo'd have thought I'd really visit
A holiday in Rhode Island
I'm so happy just to see you
You're all I dream of honey
Now we can be tgether
For a few days I am the only one
8.Favorite Shade Of Blue
I have a yellow and havy sundress
Maybe I'll wear it today
It reminds me of you
Your favorite shade of blue
Now the hem is coming out
I think I'll walk to town today
I'll go the long way
The pavement meets my shoes
I'll go anywhere I choose
I imagine you are right behind
Summertime falls from the trees
Autumn is here and you're not
I've made you a ghost
I miss you the most
Of anyone that's gone
Life without you is second best
I guess I'll get by
I'm lonelier today
Than I'd dare to say
To anyone who asks
I have a yellow and navy sundress
It reminds me of you
9.You And Only You
Your eyes are like poetry
Your lips are so sugary
You're all toether wonderful to behold
I never thought that I would hear
You say that I'm who you hold dear
More than anyone else
Or at least not in the same way
I've been thinking about you and only you
You are like the morning time
Full of promise yet to find
I'm dazzled every time I realize you're mine
I never thought that I would see
The day that you would come to me
And ask forgiveness
For the time we let go by
I've been thinking of you and only you
Did you find a four leaf clover
Did you hope that I'd come over
Here I am and I might never leave again
I never thought that I would be
So close to you that I could see
The way your hair goes wavy
When you wake up
10.Sturdies Bay
11.Saint Agnes
12.If You Stayed
I felt so close to tears today
I had to take a walk
To make it go away
Wrapped up in your coat last night
I hooked your arm in mine
All in my mind
You're so close
You tell me something good
It's so hard to hide this like I should
I'm still so close to tears today
This walk is only taking me
Further away
To make you see me in a different light
I'd have to leave without saying goodbye
You're so near
You tell me something dear
It's only all the good things you fear
Maybe I should
Move away
You would only love me if you stayed
13.Write It Down
I wrote it down
And hoped that you would find it
Long after I had gone
As far away as I could get
From those words I couldn't say
You'll be better off the day I go away
We were almost in love
So close but never close enough
You wrote it down
And put it in my pocket
I didn't find it 'til
It was too late to change my mind
We'll be happier this way
I would only let you down if I should stay
We were almost in love
So close but never close enough
14.My Empty Arms
I'm catching on to all the symptoms that you feign
Another shot of something, warm to numb the pain
Lets just be honest and admit we can't go on
You can begin to be yourself once I am gone
Your kiss was sweet like an apricot
I guess I'm the girl you thought
When you said this would never be undone
Your heart was pure like youth and all it's charms
Now my empty arms are of no use
To me or anyone
I always knew that you deserved much more than me
You are more interesting than I'll ever be
Somehow our whole world has gone spinning in reverse
I hope this heartache of mine won't get any worse
Your kiss was sweet like an apricot
I guess I'm the girl you thought
When you said this would never be undone
Your heart was pure like youth and all it's charms
Now my empty arms are of no use
To me or anyone
Will you forget the scent of violets on my skin
I'll never know the safety of your arms again
