Can't Give Much

In the hour before the morning light
Before the smile of dawn can shine upon your face
I dreamed a day you wore a dress of white
This bleeding heart on my sleeve begins to race
I can’t afford a ring with a big heavy stone
And we’ll never have a life that’s worry free
Baby, I can’t give you much
But you’ve got me
There’s a question that’s been burning in my soul
There’s a secret I’d like to whisper in your ear
A missing piece that could make my spirit whole
I lost the words I meant for you to hear
I can’t afford a necklace with diamonds or pearls
And we’ll never have that house with a weeping willow tree
Baby, I can’t give you much
But you’ve got me
Daybreak’s gentle eyes are a painting on the skies
Celestial shores and lands of joy are on display
Weary days will come and go but our love never dies
When this life is over we’ll fly away
I just want to hold you until time runs out
I’ll give you all my love because it’s free
Baby, I can’t give you much
Baby, I can’t give you much
Baby, I can’t give you much
But you’ve got me

World Left Behind

Dew drops dance upon the ground
There’s music as the wind blows through the leaves
The sun wakes up in the great north woods
Its rays flow like a river through the trees
A light fog is sleeping on top of the hill
The ground so close they push and shove
The sun keeps track of the minutes in a day
Months follow by the stars up above
I don’t know what I’m supposed to find
Outside of this world that I’ve left far behind
I know there is something that I’m supposed to see
But the answers are always running from me
Mockingbird song from the sky overhead
Bouncing off the woodland near and far
The wind gives advice in words I don’t speak
From the highway rolls the passage of a car
Take a walk down a path there ain’t much left
Overrun with ferns and moss
A lone fallen tree that nobody heard
Can’t miss it if you don’t know what’s lost
I don’t know what I’m supposed to find
Outside of this world that I’ve left far behind
I know there is something that I’m supposed to see
But the answers are always running from me
The temperature is rising on this cool summer morning
Time fades away without care without warning
The sun has risen, righteous and strong
Shadows are all but gone
I don’t know what I’m supposed to find
Outside of this world that I’ve left far behind
I know there is something that I’m supposed to see
But the answers are always running from me

These New Boots
04:54

Snowflakes are fallin’ from the ashen grey sky
And the river still runs down below
As I remember my home in December
On an old wooden porch in the snow
In the pines, oh the pines, in their snow covered lines
Cross a beautiful hill of white gold
The river, the river, it’s starting to shiver
I’m alone with my thoughts in the cold
These new boots were made to get old
A fire is burning inside of the cabin
No heat, but there’s warmth all around
The smoke is a risin’, fades to the horizon
The snow collects on the ground
The trees, oh the trees, asleep in the freeze
Every year their future foretold
The fire, the fire, it burns with desire
And the wind from the north starts to scold
These new boots were made to get old
Snowflakes are fallin’ as the sun says goodnight
Another day starts to end much too soon
The river and it’s song, keep going strong
The sun bids good day to the moon
The night, oh the night, when the moon shines so bright
And the last hand of cards starts to fold
The snow, the snow, under a full moon does glow
A picture for years I will hold
These new boots were made to get old

River Song

I’m a rock
Sunk to the bottom
Been a long time seen too many wars
I’m a leaf
Burning in autumn
Embers drift to golden shores
In the darkest hour of night, the fire guides us through the light
Harvest moon
the reaper sews
his icy touch through cold wind blows
River ease my soul take me home
I’m a tree
Broken and splintered
Deep roots and weathered every storm
I’m a ghost
Frozen and wintered
The springtime thaw I am reborn
Every darkness has a light the fire burns on through the night
The pink moon’s rise
a final breath
to pass though life we bleed through death
River ease my soul take me home
Life departs as death arrives the world turns and love survives
Time goes ‘round without a soul we all must pay the journey’s toll
No train to stop no place hide I’ll see you through the other side
In that darkness deep inside I’ll be the fire I’ll be your guide
The River is my soul it rolls me home

I'll Wait for You
05:10
|

You don’t have a ring, just the key to my heart
As long as you keep it safe, we’ll never part
We’ll have our quarrels. We can’t always agree
But I’ve never questioned, you’re the one for me
Never went down an aisle, never said that, “I do.”
But the moment our eyes met, our search was through
We had our first kiss, like we had done it before
We bought our first house. I carried you through the door
I’ll wait for you and send you a sign if I can
Wherever I go, whatever happens when a soul leaves a man
It doesn’t matter how long, years may pass, I don’t know
I’ll wait for you, if I’m the first one to go
I never went on a knee, and I never proposed
Didn’t think that I had to, that door has closed
We’ll grow old together, and our hair will turn grey
Our eyesight may fail, but our love’s here to stay
I’ll wait for you and send you a sign if I can
Wherever I go, whatever happens when a soul leaves a man
It doesn’t matter how long, years may pass, I don’t know
I’ll wait for you, if I’m the first one to go
Then comes a morning, when you wake before me
I know that you’ll understand, this is how it should be
Try to shake me awake, and don’t bother with the phone
With the key to my heart, you’re never alone
I’ll wait for you and send you a sign if I can
Wherever I go, whatever happens when a soul leaves a man
It doesn’t matter how long, years may pass, I don’t know
I’ll wait for you, if I’m the first one to go
