1. LET IT RAIN
I have given, I have given
And got none
Still I'm driven by something I can't explain
It's not a cross, it is a choice
I cannot help but hear his voice
I only wish that I could listen without shame
Chorus
Let it rain
Let it rain on me
Let it rain, oh let it rain
Let it rain on me
I have been a witness to the perfect crime
I wipe the grin off of my face to hide the blame
It isn't worth the tears you cry to have a perfect alibi
Now I'm beaten at the hands of my own game
Chorus
It isn't easy to be kind
With all these demons in my mind
I only hope one day I'll be free
I do my best not to complain
My face is dirty from the strain
I only hope one day I'll come clean
Chorus
Come take my hand
We can walk to the light
And without fear
We can see through the darkest night
Chorus repeat

2. BIRMINGHAM
Virgil Spencer's got a nineteen-inch Hitachi
And many demons lingering
Friday night he pulled a gun to change the channel
Something that he picked up from the King
His wife remembers well the man she knew
Seems the dreams she had have all turned black and blue
She's wasted years
No time for tears
Chorus
Cause there's another chance and a someday soon
Shining like the Alabama moon
She's looking for her promised land
Out beyond the lights of
Birmingham
It's three a.m. and Virgil's passed out on the sofa
A fifth of Jim Beam on the floor
She's packed a bag she slips the keys out of his pocket
She's careful not to slam the door
And as she drives she rubs her rosary
She's never been so all alone she's never felt so free
She's got miles to go
Blind faith and hope
Chorus
As the rain falls down upon the interstate
Any doubts she had are all but washed away
One long look back
At Birmingham
Chorus repeat

3. FALL FROM GRACE
Lost inside this angeltown
Lost like I could not be found
No connections of the heart
Love was glass that broke apart
Gimme faith in dreams
And someone to hold
Gimme love 'cause I'm out here in the cold
There are no secrets
No angels at my door
Chorus
And oh, when you touch my hand
I fall from grace
And oh, when you reach for me
I fall from grace
On a steeltown boulevard
Life's a promise that doesn't last
Resurrections of the past
Children come and are gone so fast
So gimme faith in love
Baby tonight
Gimme arms to hold you here so tight
There are no secrets
No angels at my door
Chorus repeat

4. DARK HORSE
Indian summer
Abilene
You were new in town
I was nineteen
And sparks flew
They called us crazy
Behind our backs
"Romantic fools"
We just let them laugh
Because we knew
It may be a long shot
We may be lonely down the line
But love knows no reason
And I won't let them make up my mind
Chorus
My money's riding on this dark horse, baby
My heart is sayin' it's the lucky one
And it's true color's gonna shine through someday
If we let this
Let this dark horse run
Stars are brighter
In a desert sky
No need to wonder
Or justify
Where this will lead
I wear your locket
Our picture's inside
Inscription says, "The joy's in the ride"
And I believe
Something so sacred
Is something worth this kind of fight
Cause love knows no patience
You can't please everyone all the time
Chorus
So rare
So sweet
Together baby
We can be free
Chorus repeat

5. BEAUTIFUL GOODBYE
Fed up with my destiny
And this place of no return
Think I'll take another day
And slowly watch it burn
It doesn't really matter how the time goes by
Cause I still remember you and I
And that beautiful goodbye
We staggered through these empty streets
Laughing arm in arm
The night had made a mess of me
Your confession kept me warm
And I don't really miss you, I just need to know
Do you ever think of you and I
And that beautiful goodbye
When I see you now
I wonder how
I could've watched you walk away
If I let you down
Please forgive me now
For that beautiful goodbye
In these days of no regrets
I keep mine to myself
And all the things we never said
I can say for someone else
Cause nothing lasts forever, but we always try
And I just can't help but wonder why
We let it pass us by
When I see you now
I wonder how
I could've watched you walk away
If I let you down
Please forgive me now
For that beautiful goodbye

6. SITTING ON TOP OF THE WORLD
Never seen a sky so blue
I've never been happy with anyone
Like I am when I'm with you
Look at the sun shining up in the sky
I feel a little closer to heaven, baby
When I'm looking into your eyes
Chorus
And as long as we're together, boy
I'm sitting on top of the world
Wanna feel this way forever, boy
I'm sitting on top of the world
Last night I lay in the dark
Tryin' to figure it out
Tryin' to talk to my heart
But now it's morning and I still don't know why
All I know is that you got me feeling so good
All I know is that it feels the way that true love should
Ain't no one luckier than you and I
Chorus
And everybody's got an opinion 'bout how this should be
But they don't understand it
No, no they just can't see
That I belong with you and baby Baby
Baby, you belong with me
Chorus repeat
Written By: A. Marshall - Metatune Inc. (SOCAN) |
7. LAST EXIT TO EDEN
The walls are thin here in this motel room
Some fool is raging overhead
He's preaching the gospel according to
Johnnie Walker Red
Four hundred miles talking to myself
Me and your memory end up here
I tell myself I'm gonna be alright
But it's still not clear
Chorus
Did I just miss
The last exit to Eden
Is this the only love I'll know
Like a Judas kiss
Did my heart betray me
Back on the road I never chose
There are some sins that you can justify
But not the one I'm guilty of
I had a choice one last chance ago
But I turned my back on love
Chorus
I can hear the man upstairs, he's crying out
"Fall on you knees, the end is near"
We both may need a saviour, tonight I fear that mine
Is the one that I left waiting far from here
Chorus
Did I just miss
The last exit to Eden
Did I just miss
My only way out of here
Did I just miss
The last exit to Eden
Did I just miss
My only way out

8. TRUST ME (THIS IS LOVE)
I look at this mountain
So many heartaches wide
And I can't help but wonder
Where's the other side
I've got to be honest
I've got my doubts
These tears are asking me
What's this got to do with love?
Baby, I'll tell you something
To help us through this long, dark night
Chorus
When this trouble passes over
You and I will walk away
Knowing that our love survived
Another test of faith
You and I can walk on water
The river rises, we rise above
It may not look that way right now
But trust me, baby...this is love.
Love isn't easy
I'm torn, I confess
When a heart is uncertain
It's bound to second guess
This love won't forsake us
So dry your tears I promise you
Chorus
I'm here for you baby
There's nothing I want more
Our day is coming
And we'll reach that peaceful shore
Chorus
When this trouble passes over
You and I will walk away
Knowing that our love survived
Another test of faith
Cause you and I can walk on water
The river rises, we rise above
It may not look that way right now
But trust me, baby....this is love
One more mountain
Hey...so what
Trust me baby...this is love.

9. LETS GET LOST
We've done our cold time, you and I
Fought off the raging of this northern sky
And heaven knows I wanna compare the ocean to your eyes
Baby, let's fly
Doin' hard time, day to day
Huddled beneath this winter sun all frozen grey
You lose your freedom while you watch the season slip away
But not today
Chorus
Livin' in the darkness, baby
Comin' all undone
Been a cruel December, now we're prayin' for the sun
By the time the storm rolls in, we could be long gone
Baby, let's get lost til the days get long
Just you and I
Frost on the outside brings a chill within
Seems like we hide our hearts away when the days get dim
Let's shake it off, let's shake it up
We're not the kind who just give in
So let's begin
Chorus
Voices in your head say stay
I can hear them too
But those doubts'll fade away
In our room with a view
There's a sweet breeze blowin' somewhere, baby
All you gotta do
Is tell me that it's time to go
And I'll be there with you
Chorus repeat

10. PROMISES
Police cars round in circles
The silence gathering
You never know what's next down here
Close your eyes and shut your mouth
Chorus
And I know I won't last forever
If there's nothing left in your heart for me
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Too young to die and too old
To believe in
Promises
The ambulance is singing
To streetcars in the rain
Like barracuda waiting
For the guns down in the hood
Chorus
But this ain't no West Side Story
And the curtain's comin' down on me
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Too young to die and too old
To believe in
Promises
It's all sound and all fury
It's all reach and no touch
It's all life's cold bravado
All grown up and old so fast
Chorus
And I know I won't last forever
If there's nothing left in your heart for me
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Too young to die and too old
I'm too young to die and too old
To believe in
Promises
Na na na na -- we all walk alone
