Lyric Of The Week

Started out on burgundy, but soon hit the harder stuff
Everybody said stand behind me when the game got a little too rough
But the joke was on me, there was no one even there to call my bluff
Goin’ back to New York City, I do believe I’ve had enough

(Lyrics transcribed as sung at this performance)

Should have seen it coming
Fire in the sky
Oh, water’s all around us
No room on the ark this time

You let me kiss you on Broadway in a black Cadillac
And it was good while it lasted

Last night I didn’t sleep at all
I found another empty wall
And I couldn’t get past it

And for a minute in the afternoon
I almost didn’t think of you
It was good while it lasted

Now I’m blind with no tomorrows in my eyes 
Said, the harsh sting of sorrow is one I recognize 
The truth of the matter is just one you can’t disguise 
I’ve been so lost on my own since the day you said goodbye

When the world
is a hard place to live
Everything feels like
it’s all take and no give

Mountains are high
you’re too weak to climb
Whoa, whoa, darlin’
just keep my heart in mind

Keep my heart in mind, darlin’
keep my heart in mind
My love for you is deep and true
so keep my heart in mind

There’s flies in the kitchen 
I can hear ‘em they’re buzzin’ 
And I ain’t done nothin’ 
since I woke up today 

How the hell can a person 
Go to work in the mornin’ 
And come home in the evenin’ 
And have nothin’ to say 

Make me an angel 
That flies from Montgomery 
Make me a poster 
Of an old rodeo 

Just give me one thing 
That I can hold on to 
To believe in this livin’ 
Is just a hard way to go

And now I’m walkin’
This street on my own
But she’s with me
Everywhere I go

I found an angel
I found my place
And can only thank God
it was not too late
