Here we stand at the crossroads, baby
Which a way do we turn?
I’ve got nothin’ to hide
Oh, but I’ve got a thing or two to learn
Like are we havin’ a love affair?
Is it there?
Are we just foolin’ around?
I don’t mind floating on air
But I’d rather stand on solid ground
Here we are again
I’m standing right outside your door
Don’t put this fire out in my soul
Let me learn to love again
To love again
I want to love again
I know you’ve been hurt by love before
Closed the door
I’ve had my heart broken too
We swore that falling in love
Was something neither one of us would do
But here we stand at the crossroads, baby
We’ve come a long, lonely way
I’ve got nothing to hide
Oh, but I’ve got a thing or two to say
Here we are again
I’m standing right outside your door
Don’t put this fire out in my soul
Learn with me to love again
To love again
Ooh I want to love again
All you gotta do is
Say the word
And I’ll come right on through your door
Don’t put this fire out in my soul
Let me learn to
To love again, to love again
Ooh I want to love again
The Vigil
Does it make you proud?
Did you laugh out loud?
Picture me sittin’ by the phone
Or are you feelin’ blue?
Did it hurt you too?
And just like me are you on your own?
I should be picking up the pieces of my life
And doin’ what I can to carry on
But all you’ve got to do is
Play your drum and fife
To find me marchin’ to the tune
Of “where’ve you gone”?
Isn’t it strange?
Does it seem right?
Knowin’ I’ll keep this lonely vigil
Through the night
I’d be ashamed
‘cause you do it for spite
But come on home
To do me wrong
I’ll be alright
It’s cold out there
And in the open air
You might catch your death of cold
Or are you with someone?
And have you just begun
To get some warmth from the heart you hold?
I tell myself “you fool
You really shouldn’t care
Why don’t you change the locks
Or move on out of town?
And leave you the one this time
To Wonder Where, or why
Or what you’ve done to be
So pushed around”?
Isn’t’ it strange?
Does it seem right?
Knowin’ I’ll keep this lonely vigil
Through the night
I’d be ashamed
You do this for spite
But come on home to do me wrong
I’ll be alright
Yeah, come on home to do me wrong
I’ll be alright
Isn’t it Strange?
Isn’t it?
Moody Woo
What are you up to, Moody Woo?
Is your man down in Alabama
Is he your Boo?
You could tell me all about it
If you wanted to, Moody Woo
If I can dish it out you know that I can take it too
Now here’s a clue
You see I think that I’m in love with you, Moody Woo
Or is it just lust at the very thought of you?
Which is true?
Either way you know it really makes me blue, Moody Woo
And mystified at just what I can do about it too
What to do?
Ooh hoo, Moody Woo
I’m blue over you
What am I gonna do about you?
Ooh hoo, Moody Woo
I’ve got a heart that’s broken too, Moody Woo
A heartbreak and a heartache and I named ‘em after you
This is true
I’m the food who broke the rule
And fell in love with you, Moody Woo
Now you tell me how the Hell
I’m gonna make it through
This rendezvous
And when I looked into your eyes of blue, Moody Woo
I never knew exactly who I was looking through
Was it you?
Either way you know it really makes me blue, Moody Woo
And mystified at just what I can do about it too
What to do?
Ooh hoo, Moody Woo
I’m blue over you
There’s nothin’ left to do but say adieu
To you, Moody Woo
We’re through, Moody Woo
Ooh hoo, Moody Woo
For My Best Friend
Every day I thank the Lord above for you
And for bringing me such a friend
Now I think it’s time I let you know I do
I’ve been meanin’ to make amends
I’m not tryin’ to buy your love
By singing you this song
It’s just whenever I’ve tried to tell you
The words only come out wrong
And so I sing
Thank you God for giving me
My life and dreams
And for all of the love you send
Thank you God for everything
But most of all
Thank you for my best friend
Talk Too Much Blues
Ain’t he a joker?
The life of the party, a chain smoker
Bartender, send us a round
One for that clown
And he won’t let us down
He says he ain’t got time for the blues
But I think he’s bluffin’
Hey mister you talk too much
And you don’t say nothin’
Ain’t he a riot?
But when you want him to talk
Hell he just sits quiet
Bartender, a shot for that man
One for the band
And anyone at hand
Who says he ain’t got time for the blues
Well I think he’s bluffin’
Hey mister you talk too much
And you don’t say nothin’
I met a man from San Antone
He turned me on to some home grown
He said, “You better get with it
Baby, what have you got to lose”?
You say you ain’t got time for the blues
But I think you’re bluffin’
Hey mister you talk too much
But you don’t say nothin’
Hey mister you talk too much
But you don’t say nothin’
Into the Dusk
This mornin’ I pulled the sheets over you
And turned to face the dawn
Like the heroes in the old Western movie shows
I thought it was time I moved on
Then I thought of the way you toss your hair back
And how leavin’ would get you down
So I pulled to the side of the road
And by sundown I’d turned around
Now there’s nothin’
I wouldn’t do
Just to fade with you
Nothin’ I wouldn’t do
Just to fade with you
Into the dusk
I felt time movin’ on without me
And my dreams turn to regret
I felt the smoky lines of age
As they spread across my face
Out on the road you know
I realized somethin’
That a man sometimes forgets
I realized how much I need you
And in you my dreams come true
Now there’s nothin’
I wouldn’t do
Just to fade with you
Nothin’ I wouldn’t do
Just to fade with you
Into the dusk
So if you find it in your heart
To forgive this weak and humbled man
Baby please give me one more chance
‘cause there’s nothin’
I wouldn’t do
Just to fade with you
Into the dusk
This mornin’ I pulled the sheets over you
And turned to face the dawn
Prison walls won’t keep you from my heart, Stanley
The time you serve will not just tick away
I think about you when we’re far apart, Stanley
And I’ll be there come visitation day
With a deck of cards and my heart on my sleeve
Until the prison guard says it’s time to leave
Can it be that someday soon
You will be free to show me?
Every Sunday I sit by the phone, Stanley
Waitin’ for that one long distance call
On any other night I am alone, Stanley
Savin’ up to give to you my all
When I hear your voice I rejoice inwardly
Still if I had a choice you be here with me
Can it be that one day soon
You will be free to show me?
All my friends say I should let you go, Stanley
They tell me you don’t mean a word you say
Only time will prove that isn’t so, Stanley
I’ll be here for you until that day
With a helping hand and a plan to succeed
Why can’t they understand that‘s all a man really needs
Prison walls won’t keep my love away, Stanley
I’ll be there come visitation day
Yeah, I’ll be there come visitation day
Bittersweet Refrain
I’m the sad and lonely one
Lost and left behind
I feel like I’m the only one
In this state of mind
Oh, oh, oh
You’re the free and easy one
That’s the way it seems
You could easily be
The lover of my dreams
Oh, oh, oh
You touched my sad and lonely heart
With a bittersweet refrain
Teach me how to play the part
We will sing again
Oh, oh, oh
I had no savior in my life
Had no faith on earth
Show me how to live my life
Simply for it’s Worth
Oh, oh, oh
Touch me tenderly with song
Cleanse my soul like rain
Show me how to sing along
Bittersweet refrain
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Trouble Is
Trouble is
When I’m on the road
I feel the need for home
Trouble is
Once I’m home again
I feel the need to
Roam across the country
Driftin’ and breezin’
A home out in the country
And a lover to be pleasin’
I could find myself a reason
Trouble is
When I’m on the road
I feel the need for home
Trouble is
Once I’m home again
I feel the need to
Roam across the country
It’s such a lonely nation
A home out in the country
Is gonna be my destination
If I only have the patience
Trouble is
When I’m on the road
I feel the need for home
Trouble is
I get home again
And feel the need to roam
