Plains of Mercy

On the rolling plains of mercy, my heart cries for a home
And I wonder if there’s someplace, waiting for me
Give me the hand of hope so I know, that I belong
Even though I’m left to carry, this burden alone
I want to know, can you tell me, is love for real?
Broken, dented, damaged, beaten and bruised
A lifetime of sorrow, felt fifty years too soon
Can I hold it all together, or is just an excuse
I have nothing left to give you, got it all to lose
I want to know, can you tell me, is love for real?
Where are we to go now, if we can’t overcome?
Am I worthy of forgiveness, or are we too far gone?
Is there hope that we can make it, or will you just turn and run?
Is there love for what we fought for, or will we just call it done?
I want to know, can you tell me?
I want to know, can you tell me?
I want to know, is love for real?

Bonnie & Clyde
06:29
|

Bonnie you knew me
Before all the blood
Honest, upstanding
Not what I’ve become
Never a rich man
My givings are poor
But no man is poorer
Than under the law
Bonnie they took me
They ripped out my soul
They sentence that boy in that dark
Dark death hole
I miss the days of freedom
I miss the days of hope
But I'd rather be on the run
Than standing on my own
There’s something about a man
With a gun at his side
And a fire in his heart
With a storm as his guide
To the end of the earth and back for my Clyde
Bonnie she knew me
Oh Bonnie she wept
Bonnie my lover
Each night when we slept
I knew you’d back me
I knew you’d stay
Cos you knew the wager
You knew the stakes
When we were runnin
When we were scared
I knew you’d hold me
The only, one who ever cared
Gone are the days of dreaming
Of the place we’d call our home
Somewhere to raise a family
Three children or more
But how can we have mouths to feed
Always on the run
A loaf of bread is a crime
So I’ve made it my own
All is lost for me and my Clyde
We are the hunted
Our verdicts forgone
But the blood of resistance
It runs in me strong
There’s blood on my hands
And I’ll never stop
Till they have paid
For the soul that they’ve got
So boys come get me
I’m waiting for you
Six fingers loaded
Be sure, I’ll take a few of you
Bonnie come kiss me
Let’s go away
Let's find a place
Where we won't be afraid
They told the tale
We’d always be wrong
The law is a comin
Our time’s almost done
Will you still love me
When I am dead
Will they remember the man
Runnin from his head
Death to the ones, with reward on our heads
Death to the ones, that have haunted our beds
Death to the lawmen, the vultures will swarm
Death is the wager we’ve won
Our time is done....our time is done
Death for my Clyde

Estranged
03:26
|
|||
|
If there were another way
I’d be long gone
I can’t see the forest from the trees
Blinded by the sun
You say there is no other way
But something has changed
Between us...
To make me feel estranged
If there were another way
In the distant past
I would dance among the stars
On a sea of glass
The clouds would part like curtains
The angels glad I came
But you...
You make me feel estranged

I see you in my eyes
I see you in the night
I live you in my mind
Cause all I want is you
You’re runnin around my head now
I see you in my life
I feel you in the night time
I’d give you all my life
Cause all I want is you
And all my life
I’ve longed
To spend the rest with you
And all my time
Is spent
In the quest for you
Cause all I want is you
You’re runnin around my head now

No Greater Love
05:53
|
|||
|
You prepare a table in the presence of my enemies
And you wait, You're waiting to dine with me.
By Your blood I enter, into Your presence so sweet
And I wait, as deep calls unto deep
There's no, greater love
Greater love, knows no one than this
That a man would give his life
For his friends
The way You did for me
I worship You, lover of my soul
I worship You
I worship You, lover of my soul
Lover of my soul

Take Me Home

Please, mum come home again
Don’t leave me here alone
I can’t go on this time
Cos I know in my heart, it’s true
Take me home, take me home
Cos I’m alone
Take me home, take me home
If, you can chance again
I know you’ll find your way
And if, I can touch your hand
I know you will believe
And if you, can’t be around
And if you, won’t see me drown
Why’d you leave me now...
Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch, like me
I once, was lost
But now, I’m found
And you, will lead me
Take me home, take me home
Cos I’m alone
Take me home, take me home

Angel

Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always some reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
oh beautiful release
memories seep from my veins
let me be empty
and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
In the arms of the angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
So tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
and the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lies
that you make up for all that you lack
it don't make no difference
escaping one last time
it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees
In the arms of the angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here

Back Streets
04:43
|
|||
|
I’m wandering through the alley ways
The back streets that make my life
And I’m wondering if fate will take it’s turn
Will it be my time
My how some things have changed
And my how some things remain
Over you
I met you on the sunny side of me
We were both so young
I knew that you were always gonna be
The one I’d love
We were young and things were going strong
When it’s good you never think it’s wrong
But doesn’t life just have a funny way
Of proving you wrong
My how some things have changed
And my how some things remain
Over you
Time changed and things were going wrong
How could I be strong
When it was finally becoming clear
That our time it was done
I asked you if you would stay a lie
You asked me if I could answer why
I knew the time had come for us to cry
To say goodbye
We were young and things were going strong
When it’s good you never think it’s wrong
But doesn’t life just have a funny way
Of proving you wrong
My how some things have changed
And my how some things remain
Over you

For This Love
03:24
|
|||
|
How did I get here, from feeling so alone
To craving for your touch, needing your love
What he took for granted, I'm a thief between the sheets
Stealing precious moments, while he sleeps
In a moment rush, In a moment of heat
We seal our fate, And dig our grave
Is this taste of love? Worth the pain
Can we forsake, The vows we made
For this love
Where do I go now, imagine what she'd say
Lies sown in secret, her love betrayed
Am I condemned now, to ever live in shame
Poisoned from the start, two poisoned hearts
In a moment rush, In a moment of heat
We seal our fate, And dig our grave
Is this taste of love? Worth the pain
Can we forsake, The vows we made
For this love
It's over now, no I can't go on
Please look away, look what we’ve done
Can you look away, I can’t look away
In a moment rush, In a moment of heat
We seal our fate, And dig our grave
Is this taste of love? Worth the pain
Can we forsake, The vows we made
For you...

The River

Don’t tell me things are gonna change
It’s been a long lonely time
That i’ve felt this way
Dark clouds are parting
Still I don’t see no sun
So don’t tell me a change is gonna come
Oh take me to the river
And hold me down
For if there ain’t no sunshine then I’d rather drown
I’ve been so alone
In the middle of the crowd
Don’t they know that the lost can’t be found
They say go to the river
And get washed clean
But i’m too dirty for these eyes to see
Oh take me to the river
And hold me down
Fill my lungs with water turned brown
How can I ever pay
For the things I can’t change
I’ve done wrong, so wrong
Wont you hurt me, hold me under
Til they forget my name
I need somebody
To show me the way
I need a fire by night and a cloud by day
Take me to the river
And hold me down
Lift me up, oh lift me up
So I can hear the sound
Sound of the river
A river flowing strong
A river filled with tears of heaven
Raining down
