NO REGRETS
I know you’re leaving, it’s too long overdue
For far too long I've had nothing new to show to you
Goodbye, dry eyes
I watched your plane fade off west of the moon
And it felt so strange to walk away alone
There’s no regrets, no tears goodbye
I don't want you back, we'd only cry again
Say goodbye again
The hours that were yours echo like empty rooms
The thoughts we used to share I now keep alone
I woke last night and spoke to you
Not thinking you were gone
And it felt so strange to lie awake alone
There’s no regrets, no tears goodbye
I don't want you back, we'd only cry again
Say goodbye again
Our friends are trying to turn my nights to day
Strange faces, a new place, can't keep the ghosts away
Now just beyond the darkest hour
And just behind the dawn
It still feels so strange to lead my life alone
There’s no regrets, no tears goodbye
I don't want you back, we'd only cry again
Say goodbye again
There’s no regrets, no tears goodbye
I don't want you back, we'd only cry again
Say goodbye again
HOLD AN OLD FRIEND'S HAND
Another year and I'm still here
Grass just will not grow on this old hill
I just can't let it go
I don't believe it's cause I'm cold
Or partial to the crazy life I'm caught in
Sometimes I feel the hand of time
Is moving like its body was broke
Still I miss your sighs
In the tender words you spoke
Hey, that's okay
Come on around
Get yourself together
Come on around
Hold an old friend's hand
Babe, I promise not to throw you
You don't have to stay
I just want to hold you
Come on around
And hold an old friend's hand
Another year is dead and gone
The sun don't want to shine on this old hill
Or anything that's mine
I won't believe it hurts to grow
Even when the crop we sow is a failure
Sometimes I wish I had no pride
Could go off and sell my soul
But how do you say goodbye
To the only truth you know
Hey, that's okay
Come on around
Get yourself together
Come on around
And hold an old friend's hand
Hold an old friend's hand
BOULDER
TO BIRMINGHAM 
I don't want to hear a love song
I got on this airplane just to fly
I know there's life below me
But all that you can show me
Is a prairie in the sky
And I don't want to hear a sad story
Full of heartbreak and desire
The last time I felt like this
I was in the wilderness
And the canyon was on fire
And I stood on the mountain
In the night, and I watched it burn
I watched it burn
And I watched it burn
I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham
I would hold my life in his saving grace
I would walk on all the way
From Boulder to Birmingham
If I thought I could see
I could see your face
Well you really got me this time
And the hardest part is knowing I'll survive
I've come to listen for the sound
Of the trucks as they move down, out on 95
And pretend that it's the ocean
Coming down to wash me clean
To wash me clean
Baby you know what I mean
I would rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham
I would hold my life in his saving grace
I would walk on all the way
From Boulder to Birmingham
If I thought I could see
I could see your face
If I thought I could see
I could see your face
WALKIN' IN THE SUN
Things have been going wrong
Long enough to know
Everything is right
Been walkin' in the dark
Long enough to know
I've finally seen the light
I've been losing
Long enough to know
When I've finally won
And even a blind man can tell
When he's walkin' in the sun
I've cried enough tears to know
This feeling called a smile
I've been bottom row
Long enough to know
I'm doing it in style
I've been run hard
Long enough to know
There's no more need to run
And even a blind man can tell
When he's walkin' in the sun
Wind is at my back
And I'm sailin' on a ship that's overdue
Cause I've blown so many chances
I ain't gonna blow this one with you
I've seen enough bad times to know
Good times have begun
And even a blind man can tell
When he's walkin' in the sun
Even a blind man can tell
When he's walkin' in the sun
LOVER'S LULLABY
Lay down now in slumber
Mama's child is torn asunder
All the fields have gone grey
All the leaves have gone brown
Let me tell you a story
Lay down, I know you're weary
While the stars in the sky
While the moon's on the rise
Lay down and don't you wake till morning
Close your eyes and helpless through the night
Lay down and dream of love and glory
This is a lover's lullaby
Once was a magician
Fair he was, and handsome
And he brought to the table
All the fool's gold and wine
Well he promised us three favours
Said he was a saviour
So we drank all his glory
And we borrowed all his time
Lay down and don't you wake till morning
Close your eyes and helpless through the night
Lay down and dream of love and glory
This is a lover's lullaby
This is a lover's lullaby
I'VE GOT TO HAVE YOU
You came smiling softly, shining moonbeam
Easy as a dreamer, into my world
And before I realised the danger
I found myself staring into your eyes
Somewhere in their colours
I saw promises of things I've never seen before
It's all over, I've got to have you
Holding on to talk and saying nothing
Knowing in a moment I could lose you
Then without a warning I remember
That you trembled at the touch of my hand
Knowing when you came to me
That no one else would ever feel the same in my arms
It's all over, I've got to have you
Waking in the morning with the tenderness
Of holding you asleep in my arms
Dreaming while your hair was blowing
Softer than a whisper on my cheek
I don't know the feeling so I don't know if it's love
But it's enough, it's enough
It's all over, I've got to have you
And I can't help it, I've got to have you
HE'LL
BREAK YOUR HEART
(Did you hear that Scott?
I said, 'flattery will get you anywhere')
He don't love you like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
He don't love you like I love you
He's trying to tear us apart
Fare thee well, I know you're leaving
For the new love that you've found
That handsome guy you've been dating
I've got a feeling he's gonna put you down
He don't love you like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
He don't love you like I love you
He's trying to tear us apart
He uses all the great quotations
He says the things I wish I could say
But he's had so many rehearsals
Girl, to him it's just another play
And when the final act is over
And you're left standing all alone
When he takes his bow and makes his exit
Oh darling, I'll be there to take you home
He don't love you like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
He don't love you like I love you
He's trying to tear us apart
He don't love you
And he never will
Like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
He don't love you like I love you
He's trying to tear us apart
EVERYTHING THAT TOUCHES YOU
You say you're all alone, with visions of your own
The things you feel, nobody feels the same
But you know me, you know what I've been through
And everything that touches me
Everything that touches me
Everything that touches me
Touches you
Friends along the road, they lighten up your load
By saying what they think you really want to hear
But I'll only tell you what I feel is true
And everything that touches me
Everything that touches me
Everything that touches me
Touches you
Share, cause I can't take you there
Unless I know a part of what you're thinking
Care, cause it's only fair
Darling, can't you feel my heart is breaking
My heart is breaking
Everything that touches me
Everything that touches me
Everything that touches me
Touches you
Everything that touches me
Everything that touches me
Everything that touches me
Touches you
LOVERS
Once they were lovers, now they're not friends
She's found another, he says it's the end
To think they once tore down a wall for a door
Now they don't speak anymore
So he walks the streets, the few nights he can stand
Drinking her memory away, when he can
Friends once would reach out to them from the shore
Now they don't try anymore
How does it all come to happen
That's not what loving is for
And if I thought it was
I would leave here in the morning
I'd sooner sleep on the floor
Oh when will they learn, really
What loving is, it's not what you take in return
But what you give
To think they once tore down a wall for a door
Now they don't speak anymore
BURN
OUR BRIDGES
I can tell by the look in your eyes
You've been hurt, well so have I
Leave behind the memories
Concentrate on just you and me
Put aside the hurt and pain
We'll make sure it doesn't happen again
We'll burn our bridges behind us
Burn 'em right down to the ground
Burn our bridges behind us
And love's gonna keep us safe and sound
Come to me, and when you do
Open arms are waiting for you
Both of us have paid our dues
But this time we got something new
We got a love that can light the way
Better forget about yesterday
We'll burn our bridges behind us
Burn 'em right down to the ground
Burn our bridges behind us
Love's gonna keep us safe and sound
We'll burn our bridges behind us
Burn 'em right down to the ground
Burn our bridges behind us
Love's gonna keep us safe and sound
Burn our bridges behind us
Burn 'em right down to the ground
Burn our bridges behind us
Love's gonna keep us safe and sound
Burn our bridges behind us
Burn 'em right down to the ground
Burn our bridges behind us
Love's gonna keep us safe and sound
Burn our bridges behind us
Burn 'em right down to the ground
Burn our bridges behind us
Love's gonna keep us safe and sound
Burn our bridges behind us
REMEMBER
ME
Remember me, I'm the one who lived outside your door
Remember me, I'm the one that needed so much more
I cried every night for something of you
I died every time and nothing came through
All for you
Remember me, I'm the one who held on when you'd gone
Remember me, I picked up the pieces that you'd torn
I lived everything in my life for you
You lived every one but that wouldn't do
Do for you
Remember me, in the way you want me to remember you
You know I'm going to remember you in a way you can't believe
Remember me
Remember me, the fool who stopped that chance you had to cross
Remember me, who traded life for you
Lord, it seems I lost
You try everything and throw it away
I'll try you again if you want to stay
All my way
Remember me, cause I'll remember you
You remember me, cause I'll remember you
And you'll remember me
LOVING ARMS
If you could see me now
The one who said he'd rather be alone
The one who said that he would rather roam
If you could only see me now
If I could hold you now
Just for a moment, if I could make you mine
Just for a moment, turn back the hands of time
If I could only hold you now
I've been too long in the wind
Too long in the rain
Taking any comfort that I can
Looking back and longing for
The freedom of my chains
Living in your loving arms
Living in your loving arms again
If you could hear me now
Singing softly in the summer night
Longing for the arms that held me tight
If you could only hear me now
I've been too long in the wind
And too long in the rain
Taking any comfort that I can
Looking back and longing for
The freedom of my chains
Living in your loving arms
Living in your loving arms again
Living in your loving arms again
I never dreamed you'd leave in summer
I thought you would go, then come back home
No, I never dreamed you'd leave in summer
And now my quiet nights are spent alone
You said you would be the warmth in springtime
That is when you started to be cold
No, I never dreamed you'd leave in summer
And now I find myself so all alone
You said you would be the warmth in autumn
Said you'd be the one to show the way
No, I never dreamed you'd leave in summer
And now I find my love has gone away
Why didn't you stay
THE MOON'S A HARSH MISTRESS
See her how she flies
Golden sails across the skies
She's close enough to touch
But careful if you try
Though she looks as warm as gold
The moon's a harsh mistress
The moon can be so cold
Once the sun did shine
And Lord it felt so fine
The moon, a phantom moon
Through the mountains and the pines
And then the darkness fell
The moon's a harsh mistress
I fell out of her eyes
I fell out of her heart
I fell down on my face
I tripped and missed my star
Fell and fell alone
The moon's a harsh mistress
The sky is made of stone
The moon's a harsh mistress
She's hard to call your own
MARIE
You looked like a princess the night we met
With your hair piled up high, I will never forget
I'm drunk right now baby, but I've got to be
Or never could tell you what you mean to me
I loved you the first time I saw you
Always will love you, Marie
I loved you the first time I saw you
Always will love you, Marie
The song the trees sing when the wind blows
Your flower, your river, your rainbow
Sometimes I'm crazy, but I guess you know
I'm weak and I'm lazy, and I hurt you so
I don't listen to a word you say
When you're in trouble I turn away
But I love you
And I loved you the first time I saw you
Always will love you, Marie
I loved you the first time I saw you
Always will love you, Marie
LINES
Bus line down the centre line took me from the dotted lines that bore my name
Rolling 'cross the border lines looking for a peace of mind that never came
And now, at last I’m free, but there's nobody here
But me to fill my bed, I wish that I had read between the lines
Bread lines and the cheap wines, they're the only life lines that I have left
No more debts to pay back cause I can't find a way back to save myself
And now, at last I’m free, but there's nobody here but me
Lord, I'm strung out, soaking wet and hung out on the lines
And now at last I’m free, but there's nobody here
But me to fill my bed, I wish that I had read between the lines
TAKING IT ALL IN STRIDE
Rainy days, rainy nights
Seems like it's been raining for a while
Wind is blowing, ground is frozen
I haven't seen a single soul smile
Empty halls, cat calls
And Lord this is a lonely time of year
Well I've lost you, but I'm not through
And you won't see me shed a single tear
I will be taking it all in stride
Ain't gonna run, ain't gonna hide
I've got too much to give inside
To give up on loving
I will go up and I will go down
But somehow I'll always be around
There's too much out there to be found
To give up on loving
Not long ago you let me know
I was all that mattered in your life
We drank a toast, you said you loved me the most
I wondered will this really be right
But times change and love is strange
And nothing ever really lasts for long
Oh I lost you, but I'm not through
I know it's always dark before the dawn
I will be taking it all in stride
Ain't gonna run, ain't gonna hide
I've got too much to give inside
To give up on loving
I will go up and I will go down
But somehow I'll always be around
There's too much out there to be found
To give up on loving
I will be taking it all in stride
Ain't gonna run, ain't gonna hide
I've got too much to give inside
To give up on loving
I will go up and I will go down
But somehow I'll always be around
There's too much out there to be found
To give up on loving
INSIDE OF YOU
I have been lonely
Lost and forgotten
Crying at sundown
Bird in the mountain
The beauty of that freedom
Can't match the beauty
Of what I feel
When I'm inside of you
I've been a young man
Running at day-break
Hearing my footsteps
The sound that the wind makes
Prisoner of my past
Held by dreams that never last
I can only be myself
When I'm inside of you
All of the lonely smiles
The broken dreams
The endless miles
All of the days and years
The promises
The held back tears
Disappear
Always on the outside
Never knowing why
Then you let me in your heart
It felt so good to cry
And I feel like I belong
When I'm inside of you
And when I'm long gone
Rolling in darkness
All of my sad songs
Resting in silence
No matter where my soul may be
I will have a memory
Of what it was to be
Inside of you
No matter where my soul may be
I will have a memory
Of what it was to be
Inside of you
HAVE YOU SEEN MY BABY
Have you seen my baby on the avenue
You know she drives me crazy with the funny things she do
I've seen her with the milkman, they was walking down the street
I said, "When you're through with my baby, Mr Milkman"
"Send her on home to me"
Hold on, baby, hold on
Hold on, baby, hold on
Oh it's been so long
Since my gal has been gone
So hold on, baby, hold on
I've seen her with a gypsy, they was dancing in a wood
You know that girl ain't never been faithful to me, people
Lord, she ain't no good
I said, "Please don't talk to strangers mama", but she always do
She said, "I talk to strangers if I want to cause I'm a stranger too"
Hold on, baby, hold on
Hold on, baby, hold on
Oh it's been so long
Since my gal has been gone
Hold on, baby, hold on
I've seen her with a gypsy, they was dancing in a wood
You know that girl, ain’t been faithful to me, people
Lord, she’s just no good
I said, "Please don't talk to strangers mama", but she always do
She said, "I talk to strangers if I want to cause I'm a stranger too"
Hold on, baby, hold on
Hold on, baby, hold on
Whoh it's been so long
Since my gal has been gone
So hold on, baby, hold on
Hold on, baby, hold on
So hold on, baby, hold on
