Listen lyrics - amos lee
Listen
Listen to them church bells ringing
Listen
Listen
You can hear them hounds calling off in the distance
If you listen
You can hear the engines stalling
You can hear the angels falling
And travel
You find men and women all have trouble
If you travel
You will that the poor are victims of the gun or gavel
If you travel
But be careful now
Be careful of all them folks out there who surround you
Be careful
Some of them really only want to ground you
They only want control
Tear you down to that hole
So be careful
Yeah
Now listen
Listen to them church bells ringing
Listen
Listen
You can hear them hounds calling off in the distance
If you listen
You can hear the engines stalling
You can hear the angels falling
You can hear the engines stalling
And oh oh the angels falling
Alright
Listen to them church bells ringing
Listen
Listen
You can hear them hounds calling off in the distance
If you listen
You can hear the engines stalling
You can hear the angels falling
And travel
You find men and women all have trouble
If you travel
You will that the poor are victims of the gun or gavel
If you travel
But be careful now
Be careful of all them folks out there who surround you
Be careful
Some of them really only want to ground you
They only want control
Tear you down to that hole
So be careful
Yeah
Now listen
Listen to them church bells ringing
Listen
Listen
You can hear them hounds calling off in the distance
If you listen
You can hear the engines stalling
You can hear the angels falling
You can hear the engines stalling
And oh oh the angels falling
Alright
Won't Let Me Go lyrics - amos lee
Been some time
Since the first night I saw you
Had some good
Had some bad time since then
And through all of these moments that I've gotten to know you
I realized that I want to be a little bit more than your friend
And I wanna know
If you want to get together
Stay for a while
We can talk about it all
I wanna know
Cuz this feeling won't let me go
Stood around
While you dated that old fool Marcus
Whole time knew he wasn't no damn good for you, well.
Guess it's true sometimes we can all be a little heartless
But tonight, all I wanna do is make sweet love to you.
And I wanna know
If you want to get together
Stay for a while
We can talk about it all
I wanna know
Cuz this feeling won't let me go
Well, all those wasted nights you spend
Well, just crying all those tears
Well, I want you to know girl
I'm around
Yeah I'm here alright
Alright
I wanna know
If you want to get together
Stay for a while
We can talk about it all
I wanna know
'Cause this feeling won't let me go
I wanna know (I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know)
I wanna know
I wanna know (I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know)
I wanna know, baby
All of these feelings
No it won't
No it won't let me go
No it won't baby
It won't let me go
Since the first night I saw you
Had some good
Had some bad time since then
And through all of these moments that I've gotten to know you
I realized that I want to be a little bit more than your friend
And I wanna know
If you want to get together
Stay for a while
We can talk about it all
I wanna know
Cuz this feeling won't let me go
Stood around
While you dated that old fool Marcus
Whole time knew he wasn't no damn good for you, well.
Guess it's true sometimes we can all be a little heartless
But tonight, all I wanna do is make sweet love to you.
And I wanna know
If you want to get together
Stay for a while
We can talk about it all
I wanna know
Cuz this feeling won't let me go
Well, all those wasted nights you spend
Well, just crying all those tears
Well, I want you to know girl
I'm around
Yeah I'm here alright
Alright
I wanna know
If you want to get together
Stay for a while
We can talk about it all
I wanna know
'Cause this feeling won't let me go
I wanna know (I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know)
I wanna know
I wanna know (I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know)
I wanna know, baby
All of these feelings
No it won't
No it won't let me go
No it won't baby
It won't let me go

Truth lyrics - amos lee
Well my woman, she showed up
With your number on her hand
Well I thought that I might call you up
So we could deal with this man to man
You better tell me the truth son, yeah
Well he showed up down at the ballroom
Walking slow and acting strong
Well I said my friend I'll give you one last chance
To admit that you done me wrong
You better tell me the truth son, yeah
You better tell me the truth son, yeah
Now they got me here in the county
With his blood still on my face
Well the boys in blue they don't play no game
All the sheriff said to me was this...
You better tell me the truth, son
I'ma beat it out of you
You better tell me the truth, son
I'ma beat it out of you
Now they got me here in the lockdown
For a crime I did commit
Well for my last call
I called the number on my girl's hand
To remind you not to forget
You should'a told me the truth, son
Make me beat it out of you
You should'a told me the truth, son
Make me beat it out of you
You should'a tole me the truth, son
Oh...
Make me beat it outta you
Make me beat it outta you
Make me beat it

Make me beat it out of you
With your number on her hand
Well I thought that I might call you up
So we could deal with this man to man
You better tell me the truth son, yeah
Well he showed up down at the ballroom
Walking slow and acting strong
Well I said my friend I'll give you one last chance
To admit that you done me wrong

What's Been Going On lyrics - amos lee
And no one says a word to me
They're concerned with my jealousy
Well I guess that's how it's gotta be
From now on
And time, it swallows everything
From the mighty to the meager thing
And it's as dark as it is comforting
To play along
Well what's been going on?
What's been going on?
What's been going on?
Around here
There goes her old beat up car
Outside of our old favorite bar
She's proudly in there playing her guitar
With stars in her eyes
Those are some of my favorite memories
All of those carefree melodies
While I'm out of here on this raging sea
About to capsize
Well what's been going on?
What's been going on?
What's been going on?
Around here
What's been going on?
What's been going on?
What's been going on?
Around here
And no one says a word to me
They're concerned with my jealousy
I guess that's how it's gotta be
From now on
They're concerned with my jealousy
Well I guess that's how it's gotta be
From now on
And time, it swallows everything
From the mighty to the meager thing
And it's as dark as it is comforting
To play along
Well what's been going on?
What's been going on?
What's been going on?
Around here
There goes her old beat up car
Outside of our old favorite bar
She's proudly in there playing her guitar
With stars in her eyes
Those are some of my favorite memories
All of those carefree melodies
While I'm out of here on this raging sea
About to capsize
Well what's been going on?
What's been going on?
What's been going on?
Around here
What's been going on?
What's been going on?
What's been going on?
Around here
And no one says a word to me
They're concerned with my jealousy
I guess that's how it's gotta be
From now on
Street Corner Preacher lyrics - amos lee
[Verse 1]
He got a new mercy
A new grace
Street corner preacher
With the angry face
He got 2 years off
For good behavior
Back in the neighborhood
Working for the city
There's two old ladies
And a junkie, now now
He can see for sure
That his work is cut out
Though he walks thru the shadows
We wont fear his neighbor
Back in the neighborhood
Working for the saitor
[Chorus]
Bau, bau
Put it on back
Ah put it in
Ah bau bau,
Put it ooh bop
Ah put it in
Ah bau bau
Put it ooh bop
Ah put it in
Ah, bau bau
Ya ya
[Verse 2]
Well he understands
The need for livin it large
But its hard to get a job
With a felony charge
Now he's working in a hospital
Washin dishes
Walking thru the fields
Of the lost inhibitions
There is death everywhere
The new, been addiction
To save the liver
From the waking death is his conviction
The eyes of man
Well he seeks no favor
Back in the neighborhood
Workin for the savior
[Pre-Chorus]
But there's a whole lot of trouble all around
Every night the same old siren sound
Ah there's a whole lot of trouble all around
Children, soldiers, in this battle ground
[Chorus]
Ah put it in
Ah bau bau
Put 'em bop
Ah put it in
Ah bau bau
Put 'em bop
Ah put it in
A bau bau
Ya ya
[Verse 3]
Well a new sun
And a second chance
He unbolts the door
And hops ever the fence
Young woman with a baby
That her daddy gave her
Back in the neighborhood
Workin for the savior
But all around
The war rages on
Burnt out houses
With the front door gone
Well his faith is his fountain
His love is his neighbor
Back in the neighborhood
Workin for the saitor
[Bridge]
Whoa oh oh oh, oh
Yea, ahhh,
[Chorus]
Bau, bau
Put it on back
Ah put it in
Ah bau bau,
Put it ooh bop
Ah put it in
Ah bau bau
Put it ooh bop
Ah put it in
Ah, bau bau
Ya ya

He got a new mercy
A new grace
Street corner preacher

He got two years off

Workin for the savior
He got a new mercy
A new grace
Street corner preacher
With the angry face
He got 2 years off
For good behavior

And a junkie, now now

It Started To Rain lyrics - amos lee
Sally Jane
How did it end up this way
With our boxes packed
And not one word to say
The children play
As your car pulled away
I didn't realize 'til then
It was really goodbye
With your wheels on the gravel
I felt my heart strings unravel
As it started to rain
It started to rain
It started to rain
Forty days
It started to rain
The neighbors came
And they bought what remained
Of the life we built
With lovin', with laughter
Then my heart started sinking
'Cause I couldn't help thinking
Their fate would be the same
It started to rain
It started to rain
Forty days
It started to rain
It started to rain
How did it end up this way
With our boxes packed
And not one word to say
The children play
As your car pulled away
I didn't realize 'til then
It was really goodbye
With your wheels on the gravel
I felt my heart strings unravel
As it started to rain
It started to rain
It started to rain
Forty days
It started to rain
The neighbors came
And they bought what remained
Of the life we built
With lovin', with laughter
Then my heart started sinking
'Cause I couldn't help thinking
Their fate would be the same
It started to rain
It started to rain
Forty days
It started to rain
It started to rain
Jails And Bombs lyrics - amos lee
The one I love is lost without the least bit of explanation
Just goes to show the futility of self-preservation
Now all I seem to see is all this war, and goin' amongst our nations
What good will it do
Now everybody wants to know the secrets to our salvation
Forever reading on and on, from Genesis to Revelation
Never stopping for a second to examine situations
After all that we've been through
And love it only ends
When there's nothing left to defend
Will we ever see, yeah, yeah
The common bond of humanity
Go on...
Get a landscape of famine and also of frustration
And children walking round without the proper means to education
And still up there on Capitol Hill they're passing all this legislation
For jails and bombs
Still we live behind these hollow walls of lies and segregation
People walking round without the proper means to medication
And still up there on Capitol Hill they're passing all this legislation
For jails and bombs
Anybody out there can hear my prayer
Just goes to show the futility of self-preservation
Now all I seem to see is all this war, and goin' amongst our nations
What good will it do
Now everybody wants to know the secrets to our salvation
Forever reading on and on, from Genesis to Revelation
Never stopping for a second to examine situations
After all that we've been through
And love it only ends
When there's nothing left to defend
Will we ever see, yeah, yeah
The common bond of humanity
Go on...
Get a landscape of famine and also of frustration
And children walking round without the proper means to education
And still up there on Capitol Hill they're passing all this legislation
For jails and bombs
Still we live behind these hollow walls of lies and segregation
People walking round without the proper means to medication
And still up there on Capitol Hill they're passing all this legislation
For jails and bombs
Anybody out there can hear my prayer
Kid lyrics - amos lee
Been kicked around so long
You're starting to get used to how it feels
The taste of blood that's in your mouth
There's still somehow it always heals
Don't know how you keep on getting up
From all those ghostly blows
And all that pain that lingers
Deep down in the darkness where it grows
I know how hard it is
To keep your head up kid
To keep your head up
Kid
And there you sit on high
All tucked away and locked up in the clouds
Waiting for someone to finally
Come along and take you out
Into this bitter world
That also often treated you so cruel
When they turn away
You know that they will say that you're a fool
I know how hard it is
To keep your head up kid
I know how hard it is
To keep your head up kid
And so patiently
You waited for a love to come along
Take you out into this bitter world
So often done you wrong
There you sit alone
And there you shed a solitary tear
Listening to a song
You think that no one else would ever hear
I know how hard it is
To keep your head up kid
I know hard it is
To keep your head up
Keep your head up
Keep your head up
Keep your head up
Keep your head up
You're starting to get used to how it feels
The taste of blood that's in your mouth
There's still somehow it always heals
Don't know how you keep on getting up
From all those ghostly blows
And all that pain that lingers
Deep down in the darkness where it grows
I know how hard it is
To keep your head up kid
To keep your head up
Kid
And there you sit on high
All tucked away and locked up in the clouds
Waiting for someone to finally
Come along and take you out
Into this bitter world
That also often treated you so cruel
When they turn away
You know that they will say that you're a fool
I know how hard it is
To keep your head up kid
I know how hard it is
To keep your head up kid
And so patiently
You waited for a love to come along
Take you out into this bitter world
So often done you wrong
There you sit alone
And there you shed a solitary tear
Listening to a song
You think that no one else would ever hear
I know how hard it is
To keep your head up kid
I know hard it is
To keep your head up
Keep your head up
Keep your head up
Keep your head up
Keep your head up
Ease Back lyrics - amos lee
Hello
It's good to see you coming back again
It's been a long time
Since I sat with you, my friend
I'll lend an ear
It's not that so severe
Time has killed the pain
And dried up every tear
And now
I'm thinking bout what went, down
All the heartache
I laughed away
Just like a clown
And now
Sit around talking
Drink some wine
I'm really glad you stopped in
Spend some time
You sit around talking
Thinking bout the past
It's funny how it lingers
But nothings meant to last
And my Ma
She'd like to say hello
But shes a little scared
That I can't let it go
So let on, ease back, brother
And let it slip away
I'm tired of hanging onto
The pains of yesterday
Once again
The money is so thick
It makes your heart go numb
It makes your mind get sick
So come on by
Stay and talk about it
Drink some wine
I'm really glad you stopped in, brother of mine
We'll sit around talking
Drink some wine
And maybe by the morning everything is fine
Everything is fine
Ease back, brother
Let this clear your mind
Come on by
And drink yourself a good time
Have some wine
And think about each other
Sister and I are fine
Yes, I've been alright now
Take it lightly
Step on out the front door
I'll see you in some time
It's good to see you coming back again
It's been a long time
Since I sat with you, my friend
I'll lend an ear
It's not that so severe
Time has killed the pain
And dried up every tear
And now
I'm thinking bout what went, down
All the heartache
I laughed away
Just like a clown
And now
Sit around talking
Drink some wine
I'm really glad you stopped in
Spend some time
You sit around talking
Thinking bout the past
It's funny how it lingers
But nothings meant to last
And my Ma
She'd like to say hello
But shes a little scared
That I can't let it go
So let on, ease back, brother
And let it slip away
I'm tired of hanging onto
The pains of yesterday
Once again
The money is so thick
It makes your heart go numb
It makes your mind get sick
So come on by
Stay and talk about it
Drink some wine
I'm really glad you stopped in, brother of mine
We'll sit around talking
Drink some wine
And maybe by the morning everything is fine
Everything is fine
Ease back, brother
Let this clear your mind
Come on by
And drink yourself a good time
Have some wine
And think about each other
Sister and I are fine
Yes, I've been alright now
Take it lightly
Step on out the front door
I'll see you in some time
Better Days lyrics - amos lee
The darkness has always been,
The world was born into a blanket of sin,
When all the faith's been gone,
Still we found a reason to carry on,
Through the worrry, worry, worry,
Caught in an endless maze
Oh when the lights go out,
All i can think about,
Is how, we've seen better days...
Oh lover lately i've been thinkin i might leave you,
As you're surrounded by these fools who do decieve you,
Yes our past is wretched true,
But i'm still in love with you,
Thats why i am still refusin to give in to
All this worry, worry, worry
Caught in an endless maze,
But when the lights go out,
All i can think about,
Is how, we've seen better days
Where do we go from here,
While we're all so consumed by feer,
Why im trying not to be suspiscious of those im suspicious of,
I'm tryin to crackopen this angry heart and find a little love,
Still i worry, worry, worry,
Caught in an endless maze,
Still when the lights go out,
All that i can think about is how we've seen better days,
Oh when the lights go out,
All i can dream about,
Is how, we've seen better days...
The world was born into a blanket of sin,
When all the faith's been gone,
Still we found a reason to carry on,
Through the worrry, worry, worry,
Caught in an endless maze
Oh when the lights go out,
All i can think about,
Is how, we've seen better days...
Oh lover lately i've been thinkin i might leave you,
As you're surrounded by these fools who do decieve you,
Yes our past is wretched true,
But i'm still in love with you,

Still i worry, worry, worry,
Caught in an endless maze,
Still when the lights go out,
All that i can think about is how we've seen better days,
Oh when the lights go out,
All i can dream about,
Is how, we've seen better days...
Shout Out Loud lyrics - amos lee
A thousand empty window
And only half the lights are out

And could they have a family
Could it be their just as lonesome

Found someone he can go on home to
I wanna shout out

Sympathize lyrics - amos lee
It ain't no jive
I was burning alive
Whenever you walk in the room
It happened so quickly
I was feeling so sickly
Like a lover who lost his muse
The sharks in the tank or
The men in the bank
He wants my money to loan
I can't understand
What the hell is his plan
While he ain't even got a home
Ain't got a home
Girl on a street
With holes in her feet
Looks through the eyes of a cloud
She don't look amazed
She's feeling kind of sad
So I just walk around
I reassess
She's down on her luck
She's reading a book of lies
I don't know when I'll be coming home baby
But I shall sympathize
Can sympathize
Can sympathize
Angels spread their wings
On all the dirty things
But you
Do
She drops to the floor
Her head's by the door
Her bible is by her side
Heaven is calling
The new world is falling
And she ain't got a single person left
To confide
No one to confide
No one to confide
Ah to confide
I sympathize
Can sympathize
I was burning alive
Whenever you walk in the room
It happened so quickly
I was feeling so sickly
Like a lover who lost his muse
The sharks in the tank or
The men in the bank
He wants my money to loan
I can't understand
What the hell is his plan
While he ain't even got a home
Ain't got a home
Girl on a street
With holes in her feet
Looks through the eyes of a cloud
She don't look amazed
She's feeling kind of sad
So I just walk around
I reassess
She's down on her luck
She's reading a book of lies
I don't know when I'll be coming home baby
But I shall sympathize
Can sympathize
Can sympathize
Angels spread their wings
On all the dirty things
But you
Do
She drops to the floor
Her head's by the door
Her bible is by her side
Heaven is calling
The new world is falling
And she ain't got a single person left
To confide
No one to confide
No one to confide
Ah to confide
I sympathize
Can sympathize
Freedom lyrics - amos lee
Don't wanna be a martyr in this war
Don't wanna hear the same excuses anymore
That everything's a threat
And it's only gonna get worse if we let it
Don't wanna blame the rich for what they got
Don't point a finger at the poor for what they have not
Though the politician and the priest
Live in the belly of the beast because we fed it
Freedom is seldom found
By beating someone to the ground
Telling them how everything is gonna be now, yeah
Now if the tables were turned tell me how you would feel
Somebody busted up into your house telling you to stay still
While the leaders will deny defeat
Innocents they testify by dying in the street
Freedom is seldom found
By beating someone to the ground
Telling them how everything is gonna be now
Freedom is seldom found
By beating someone to the ground
Telling them how everything is gonna be now
Don't wanna hear the same excuses anymore
That everything's a threat
And it's only gonna get worse if we let it
Don't wanna blame the rich for what they got
Don't point a finger at the poor for what they have not
Though the politician and the priest
Live in the belly of the beast because we fed it
Freedom is seldom found
By beating someone to the ground
Telling them how everything is gonna be now, yeah
Now if the tables were turned tell me how you would feel
Somebody busted up into your house telling you to stay still
While the leaders will deny defeat
Innocents they testify by dying in the street
Freedom is seldom found
By beating someone to the ground
Telling them how everything is gonna be now
Freedom is seldom found
By beating someone to the ground
Telling them how everything is gonna be now
Careless lyrics - amos lee
You speak of love
But you ain't no lover
You were a friend
More like a brother
As the miles pass beneath me
The sounds made so sweetly came to an end
And no man can deny her but now you're a liar
And you've no room left to defend
When I left
I should have known better
Of the kind of man that you are
You'd have to get her
And I know you got a lot of pain
That's born inside you
But instead of growing stronger
You let it divide you, oh
How could you be so careless
How could you be so careless
And the waves that are crashing
True lives of passion washing on your shore
Yes Sir, life has been costing
A true love's been lost
And I can't get back anymore
And I'm sure
That we both still both love her
And it's a shame we both lost her
And in turn lost each other
But a trust has been broken
And words have been spoken
But you can mend
And no man can deny her
And as you laid beside her
I hope it felt good my friend
How could you be so careless
How could you be so careless
How could you be so careless with her heart
But you ain't no lover
You were a friend
More like a brother
As the miles pass beneath me
The sounds made so sweetly came to an end
And no man can deny her but now you're a liar
And you've no room left to defend
When I left
I should have known better
Of the kind of man that you are
You'd have to get her
And I know you got a lot of pain
That's born inside you
But instead of growing stronger
You let it divide you, oh
How could you be so careless
How could you be so careless
And the waves that are crashing
True lives of passion washing on your shore
Yes Sir, life has been costing
A true love's been lost
And I can't get back anymore
And I'm sure
That we both still both love her
And it's a shame we both lost her
And in turn lost each other
But a trust has been broken
And words have been spoken
But you can mend
And no man can deny her
And as you laid beside her
I hope it felt good my friend
How could you be so careless
How could you be so careless
How could you be so careless with her heart
Skipping Stone lyrics - amos lee
I don't know if I can do this alone
Oh after all our sweet love is flown
I've been a running
I've been skipping like a stone
And I don't know if I
I can do this all alone
When I met her she was standing by a door
I ain't never seen a light like that before
Now she's left me for something more sure
And I don't know if I
I can do this anymore
'Cause lovers will come, lovers will go
This rare seed are from which true love might grow
If you see her, won't you please say hello
'Cause I don't know if I can do this alone
Oh after all our sweet love is flown
I've been a running
I've been skipping like a stone
And I don't know if I
I can do this all alone
When I met her she was standing by a door
I ain't never seen a light like that before
Now she's left me for something more sure
And I don't know if I
I can do this anymore
'Cause lovers will come, lovers will go
This rare seed are from which true love might grow
If you see her, won't you please say hello
'Cause I don't know if I can do this alone
Supply And Demand lyrics - amos lee
Somethin' gotta give with the way I'm livin'
Seems I'm gettin' down everyday
The more I strive, the less I'm alive
And seems i'm gettin' further away
Oh well all my superstitions
And my crazy suspicions
Of the people that I care about
I've been doin' more screamin'
Than I've been doin' dreamin'
And I think it's time I figure it out
Baby i need a plan
Oh, to understand
That life ain't only supply and demand
I've been goin' joggin' in the park after dark
Draggin' 'round with me my ball and chain
Took southern skies to make me realize
That I'm causin' myself this pain
Well the woman that I'm lovin'
Yeah I'm pushin' and shovin'
Getting further on by the day
And I can't understand
How the heart of this man
Ever let it end up this way
Baby I need a plan
Oh to understand
That life ain't only supply and demand
When the road gets dark and lonesome dear
You can find me here
But honey you don't know where I am
You need a friend, yeah
Life ain't easy
In fact I know it's sleazy
When you're the big man in town
Shakin' religions
And makin' decisions
You never get to slow on down
Well your wife and your baby
You tell them yeah well maybe
“I'll meet y'all at a weekend resort”
But your eyes on the prize
And you can't realize
That your little girl's life's so short
Brother you need a plan
Oh to understand
That life ain't only supply and demand
Yeah sister you need a plan
Oh to understand
That life ain't only supply and demand
Hey, you better figure it out now
You know you ain't comin' back down, yeah
You better figure it out now
You know you ain't comin' back down
Seems I'm gettin' down everyday
The more I strive, the less I'm alive
And seems i'm gettin' further away
Oh well all my superstitions
And my crazy suspicions
Of the people that I care about
I've been doin' more screamin'
Than I've been doin' dreamin'
And I think it's time I figure it out
Baby i need a plan
Oh, to understand
That life ain't only supply and demand

Sweet Pea lyrics - amos lee
Sweet pea
Apple of my eye
Don't know when and I don't know why
You're the only reason I keep on coming home
Sweet pea
What's all this about
Don't get your way all you do is fuss and pout
You're the only reason I keep on coming home
I like the Rock of Gibraltar
I always seem to falter
And the words just get in the way
Oh I know I'm gonna crumble
I'm trying to stay humble
But I never think before I say
Sweet pea
Keeper of my soul
I know sometimes I'm out of control
You're the only reason I keep on coming
You're the only reason I keep on coming yeah
You're the only reason I keep on coming home
Apple of my eye
Don't know when and I don't know why
You're the only reason I keep on coming home
Sweet pea
What's all this about
Don't get your way all you do is fuss and pout
You're the only reason I keep on coming home
I like the Rock of Gibraltar
I always seem to falter
And the words just get in the way
Oh I know I'm gonna crumble
I'm trying to stay humble
But I never think before I say
Sweet pea
Keeper of my soul
I know sometimes I'm out of control
You're the only reason I keep on coming
You're the only reason I keep on coming yeah
You're the only reason I keep on coming home
Night Train lyrics - amos lee
I've been working on a night train
Drinking coffee, taking cocaine
I'm out here on a night train
Trying to get us safely home
Well in a little country station
Somewhere out in the midwest
I see the people out there waiting
Heart beating in my chest
And I'm thinking about a woman
Who I would put no one above
I'm not looking to replace her
Just need someone to love
Well I'm out here on my night train
Drinking coffee, taking cocaine
I'm out here on a night train
Trying to get us safely home
And I'm living in the city
Where the noise, it never stops
Hammers pounding on the pavement
Whistles from traffic cops
Nobody looks you in the eye here
Walking around with clinched fists
I've been searching for a simple place
Don't know if it exists
There's a sunrise out there calling my name
I can see her moving, I can see her moving
Well at a certain time of night, now
I'll become one with the wind
Where there isn't a beginning
And there is no end
Oh when everything is flowing
Everything is on time
And I know that we're all going
To the end of the line
Well I'm out here on my night train
Drinking coffee, taking cocaine
I'm out here on a night train
Trying to get us safely home
Well I'm out here on my night train
Drinking coffee, taking cocaine
I'm out here on a night train
Trying to get us safely home
Trying to get us safely home
Trying to get us safely home
Drinking coffee, taking cocaine
I'm out here on a night train
Trying to get us safely home
Well in a little country station
Somewhere out in the midwest
I see the people out there waiting
Heart beating in my chest
And I'm thinking about a woman
Who I would put no one above
I'm not looking to replace her
Just need someone to love
Well I'm out here on my night train
Drinking coffee, taking cocaine
I'm out here on a night train
Trying to get us safely home
And I'm living in the city
Where the noise, it never stops
Hammers pounding on the pavement
Whistles from traffic cops
Nobody looks you in the eye here
Walking around with clinched fists
I've been searching for a simple place
Don't know if it exists
There's a sunrise out there calling my name
I can see her moving, I can see her moving
Well at a certain time of night, now
I'll become one with the wind
Where there isn't a beginning
And there is no end
Oh when everything is flowing
Everything is on time
And I know that we're all going
To the end of the line

Drinking coffee, taking cocaine
I'm out here on a night train
Trying to get us safely home
Well I'm out here on my night train
Drinking coffee, taking cocaine
I'm out here on a night train
Trying to get us safely home
Trying to get us safely home
Trying to get us safely home
Southern Girl lyrics - amos lee
Farewell my sweet
Well the time that was coming
The road has begun to move beneath my feet
Good things come to an end
Well I hope through the pain
The heartache and strain we can still remain friends
Something about a southern girl
Make me feel right
In a Mississippi morning
She's an angel in flight
In a blink of an eye
She'll be out of your sight
Something about a southern girl
You're a soft melody
Well I swear that I heard
From a lost mockingbird stuck up in a tree
We got a lot going on
Even though I'm not here
Please don't shed any tears for me day when I'm gone
Something about a southern girl
Make me feel right
In a Mississippi morning
She's an angel in flight
In a blink of an eye
She'll be out of your sight
Something about a southern girl
I never meant to leave you lonely
It was only in your mind
Girl, I never meant to leave you lonely
It was only a matter of time
Something about a southern girl
Make me feel right
In a Mississippi morning
She's an angel in flight
In a blink of an eye
She'll be out of your sight
Something about a southern
Something about a southern girl
Well the time that was coming
The road has begun to move beneath my feet
Good things come to an end
Well I hope through the pain
The heartache and strain we can still remain friends
Something about a southern girl
Make me feel right
In a Mississippi morning
She's an angel in flight
In a blink of an eye
She'll be out of your sight
Something about a southern girl
You're a soft melody
Well I swear that I heard
From a lost mockingbird stuck up in a tree
We got a lot going on
Even though I'm not here
Please don't shed any tears for me day when I'm gone
Something about a southern girl
Make me feel right
In a Mississippi morning
She's an angel in flight
In a blink of an eye
She'll be out of your sight
Something about a southern girl
I never meant to leave you lonely
It was only in your mind
Girl, I never meant to leave you lonely
It was only a matter of time
Something about a southern girl
Make me feel right
In a Mississippi morning
She's an angel in flight
In a blink of an eye
She'll be out of your sight
Something about a southern
Something about a southern girl
The Wind lyrics - amos lee
Saturday night and my head is spinning
I wonder whose heart I've been sinning for
A cold rain blows on my window
A soft scent gone from my pillow
One more step that I've been takin'
Yes and one more heart
I don't need no more breakin' of
The red lights how they all
Burnin' down the highway
I remember when the wind had blown my way
But the wind blew down my line
Yeah the wind blew down my line
The man on the street
Each day I'm passin'
A small bite to eat
Is all he's been askin' for
Cold stares is all he's been yielding
Oh and now I know that empty feeling
Yeah the wind blew down my line
Yeah the wind blew down my line
Yeah the wind blew down my line
I wonder whose heart I've been sinning for
A cold rain blows on my window
A soft scent gone from my pillow
One more step that I've been takin'
Yes and one more heart
I don't need no more breakin' of
The red lights how they all
Burnin' down the highway
I remember when the wind had blown my way
But the wind blew down my line
Yeah the wind blew down my line
The man on the street
Each day I'm passin'
A small bite to eat
Is all he's been askin' for
Cold stares is all he's been yielding
Oh and now I know that empty feeling
Yeah the wind blew down my line
Yeah the wind blew down my line
Yeah the wind blew down my line
Long Line Of Pain lyrics - amos lee
I come from a long line of pain
My family suffered greatly for my gain
And I think a lot about
How my daddy died
So I would not live without
And his heart lives in my song
Where the melody comes
And just as quickly the melody is gone
I'm back alone, far from home
Now my mamma's on her own
I try to call her and see her when I'm home
And after all that she's been through
All the doctors say: "There ain't nothing we can do"
And her heart lives in my song
Where the melody comes
And just as quickly the melody is gone
I'm back alone, far from home
There's a bird outside my window
Takes the song where he goes
And he leaves it there
Like a dead man's rocking chair
And tonight I'm feeling lost and
Headin' down the highway out to Boston
I get the sense I might lose it
I thank God tonight for the light I got in music
'Cause my heart lives in this song
Where the melody comes
And just as quickly, the melody is gone
I'm back alone, far from home
My family suffered greatly for my gain
And I think a lot about
How my daddy died
So I would not live without
And his heart lives in my song
Where the melody comes
And just as quickly the melody is gone
I'm back alone, far from home
Now my mamma's on her own
I try to call her and see her when I'm home
And after all that she's been through
All the doctors say: "There ain't nothing we can do"
And her heart lives in my song
Where the melody comes
And just as quickly the melody is gone
I'm back alone, far from home
There's a bird outside my window
Takes the song where he goes
And he leaves it there
Like a dead man's rocking chair
And tonight I'm feeling lost and
Headin' down the highway out to Boston
I get the sense I might lose it
I thank God tonight for the light I got in music
'Cause my heart lives in this song
Where the melody comes
And just as quickly, the melody is gone
I'm back alone, far from home
Keep It Loose, Keep It Tighy lyrics - amos lee
Well I walked over the bridge
Into the city where I live,
And I saw my old landlord.
Well we both said hello,
There was no where else to go,
'cuz his rent I couldn't afford.
Well relationships change,
Oh I think it's kinda strange,
How money makes a man grow.
Some people they claim,
If you get enough fame,
You live over the rainbow.
Over the rainbow..
But the people on the street,
Out on buses or on feet,
We all got the same blood flow.
Oh, in society,
Every dollar got a deed,
We all need a place so we can go,
And feel over the rainbow.
But sometimes,
We forget what we got,
Who we are.
Oh who are are not.
I think we gotta chance,
To make it right.
Keep it loose,
Keep it tight.
Keep it tight.
I'm in love with a girl,
Who's in love with the world,
Though I can't help but follow.
Though I know some day,
She is bound to go away,
And stay over the rainbow.
Gotta learn how to let her go.
Over the rainbow.
Sometimes we forget who we got,
Who they are.
Oh, who they are not.
There is so much more in love,
Than black and white.
Keep it loose child,
Gotta keep it tight.
Keep it loose child,
Keep it tight.
Keep it tight,
Keep it tight,
Yaa..
Into the city where I live,
And I saw my old landlord.
Well we both said hello,
There was no where else to go,
'cuz his rent I couldn't afford.
Well relationships change,
Oh I think it's kinda strange,
How money makes a man grow.
Some people they claim,
If you get enough fame,
You live over the rainbow.
Over the rainbow..
But the people on the street,
Out on buses or on feet,
We all got the same blood flow.
Oh, in society,
Every dollar got a deed,
We all need a place so we can go,
And feel over the rainbow.
But sometimes,
We forget what we got,
Who we are.
Oh who are are not.
I think we gotta chance,
To make it right.
Keep it loose,
Keep it tight.
Keep it tight.
I'm in love with a girl,
Who's in love with the world,
Though I can't help but follow.
Though I know some day,
She is bound to go away,
And stay over the rainbow.
Gotta learn how to let her go.
Over the rainbow.
Sometimes we forget who we got,
Who they are.
Oh, who they are not.
There is so much more in love,
Than black and white.
Keep it loose child,
Gotta keep it tight.
Keep it loose child,
Keep it tight.
Keep it tight,
Keep it tight,
Yaa..
Seen It All Before lyrics - amos lee
Go ahead baby,
run away again.
Growing tired of chasing you.
I know you only have time,
to love me.
You've got nothing better to do.
Who's bold enough to believe?
Even love or war..
Both just leave you busted,
and broken down.
Wanting more..
Baby, i've seen it all before.
Know that i've seen it all before.
Know that i've seen it all before.
I aint gonna be your fool any more.
I can hear my heart pounding,
oh but i can't decide.
Stuck between the depths of my fears,
and peaks of my pride.
Baby, i've seen it all before.
Know that i've seen it all before.
You know that i've seen it all before.
And I aint gonna be your fool any more.
Seen your tricks,
and i've seen your traitors.
I've seen your evil ways.
I've seen everything,
your twisted smile,
conveying.
I aint gonna be your fool baby [x7]
any more..
run away again.
Growing tired of chasing you.
I know you only have time,
to love me.
You've got nothing better to do.
Who's bold enough to believe?
Even love or war..
Both just leave you busted,
and broken down.
Wanting more..
Baby, i've seen it all before.
Know that i've seen it all before.

Arms Of A Woman lyrics - amos lee
I am at ease in the arms of a woman.
Although now,
most of my days i spend alone.
A thousand miles,
from the place i was born.
But when she wakes me,
she takes me back home.
Now, most days,
i spend like a child.
Who's afraid of ghosts in my mind.
I know, there aint nothing out there.
I'm still afraid to turn on the lights.
I am at ease in the arms of a woman.
Although now,
most of my days a i spend alone.
A thousand miles,
the place i was born.
When she wakes me,
she takes me back home.
A thousand miles,
the place i was born.
When she wakes me,
she takes me back home.
I am at ease in the arms of a woman.
Although now,
most of my days i spend alone.
A thousand miles,
from the place i was born.
When she wakes me,
she takes me..
Ya, when she wakes me,
she takes me back home.
When she wakes me,
she takes me back home.
Although now,
most of my days i spend alone.
A thousand miles,
from the place i was born.
But when she wakes me,
she takes me back home.
Now, most days,
i spend like a child.
Who's afraid of ghosts in my mind.
I know, there aint nothing out there.
I'm still afraid to turn on the lights.
I am at ease in the arms of a woman.
Although now,
most of my days a i spend alone.
A thousand miles,
the place i was born.
When she wakes me,
she takes me back home.
A thousand miles,
the place i was born.
When she wakes me,
she takes me back home.
I am at ease in the arms of a woman.
Although now,
most of my days i spend alone.
A thousand miles,
from the place i was born.
When she wakes me,
she takes me..
Ya, when she wakes me,
she takes me back home.
When she wakes me,
she takes me back home.
Give It Up lyrics - amos lee
I've been waiting a long time,
I just hope that i might find.
The right kind of love, for me.
You know I've been lonesome,
God knows we all been lonesome.
Some people think that being lonesome really means being free.
But i would,
give it all up for you.
Yea i would,
give it all up for you.
Yes i would,
give it up,
settle down,
stop looking around.
I finally found,
something true.
We live in a world full of confusion.
A culture based in illusion.
Some people think it's amusing,
but it's really just fantasy.
I would give it all up for you,
yes i would give it all up for you.
Yea i would,
give it all up for you.
Yes i would,
give it up,
settle down,
finally found something true.
I, I will give it all,
I will give it all up for you now baby.
I would give it up, i would give it up, i would give it all up for you now baby. [x3]
I just hope that i might find.
The right kind of love, for me.
You know I've been lonesome,
God knows we all been lonesome.
Some people think that being lonesome really means being free.
But i would,
give it all up for you.
Yea i would,
give it all up for you.
Yes i would,
give it up,

I finally found,

We live in a world full of confusion.

Yea i would,
give it all up for you.
Yes i would,

finally found something true.
I, I will give it all,
I will give it all up for you now baby.
I would give it up, i would give it up, i would give it all up for you now baby. [x3]
Dreamin lyrics - amos lee
My soul,
is as open as the sky.
Often time,
it's just as blue.
People tell me,
I need to keep on dreamin'.
That's just what I'm gonna do.
Now everybody,
wanna treat me like a house fly.
Turn me around,
and tell me to shoo.
Wanna tell me,
keep on dreamin'.
That's just what I'm gonna do.
'Cause every moral,
has a story.
Every hand needs a glow.
Sometimes it's full of glory.
Oh, but mostly, it's for the love.
It's the love..
Mmm..
It's the love.
It's the love that pulls me through.
'Cause when they tell me,
keep on dreamin'.
Thats just what I'm, I'm gonna, thats just what I'm gonna do.
is as open as the sky.
Often time,
it's just as blue.
People tell me,
I need to keep on dreamin'.
That's just what I'm gonna do.
Now everybody,
wanna treat me like a house fly.
Turn me around,
and tell me to shoo.
Wanna tell me,
keep on dreamin'.
That's just what I'm gonna do.

Every hand needs a glow.

Thats just what I'm, I'm gonna, thats just what I'm gonna do.
Soul Suckers lyrics - amos lee
Did you believe it,
when they told you they discovered you?
And that everything is free,
as long as you do what they tell you to.
You think it's true?
But nothing could be farther from the truth,
my love.
Did you even listen,
When they told you to change your name?
And that nobody wants honesty when looking at a perfect frame
play the game.
Nothing could be further from the truth,
my love..
And nothing is more powerful that beauty in a wicked world.
Play it girl,
play it girl,
play it girl.
Does it make you feel good,
when they tell you what you want to hear?
And after they suck all your soul,
well that's when they'll disappear.
Disappear.
They disappear forever..
Like a prince in your little fairy tale.
And you will find,
one day you put you soul on sale..
Nothing could be further from the truth,
my love..
And nothing is more powerful than beauty in a wicked world.
when they told you they discovered you?
And that everything is free,
as long as you do what they tell you to.
You think it's true?
But nothing could be farther from the truth,
my love.
Did you even listen,
When they told you to change your name?
And that nobody wants honesty when looking at a perfect frame
play the game.
Nothing could be further from the truth,
my love..
And nothing is more powerful that beauty in a wicked world.
Play it girl,
play it girl,
play it girl.
Does it make you feel good,
when they tell you what you want to hear?
And after they suck all your soul,
well that's when they'll disappear.
Disappear.
They disappear forever..
Like a prince in your little fairy tale.
And you will find,
one day you put you soul on sale..
Nothing could be further from the truth,
my love..
And nothing is more powerful than beauty in a wicked world.
Colors lyrics - amos lee
Yesterday i got lost in the circus,
feeling like such a mess.
And now I'm down,
I'm just hanging on the corner.
I can't help but reminisce.
Cuz when you're gone,
all the colours fade.
When you're gone,
no new years day parade.
You're gone,
colours seem to fade.
Your mama called, she said,
that you're downstairs crying.
Feeling like such a mess.
Ya, i hear ya,
in the back ground balling.
What happened to your sweet summer time dress.
I know we all,
we all got our faults.
We get locked in our vaults,
and we stay..
When you're gone,
all the colours fade.
When you're gone,
no new years day parade.
You're gone,
colours seem to fade,
colours seem to fade.
feeling like such a mess.
And now I'm down,
I'm just hanging on the corner.
I can't help but reminisce.
Cuz when you're gone,
all the colours fade.
When you're gone,
no new years day parade.
You're gone,
colours seem to fade.
Your mama called, she said,
that you're downstairs crying.
Feeling like such a mess.
Ya, i hear ya,
in the back ground balling.
What happened to your sweet summer time dress.
I know we all,
we all got our faults.
We get locked in our vaults,
and we stay..
When you're gone,
all the colours fade.
When you're gone,
no new years day parade.
You're gone,
colours seem to fade,
colours seem to fade.
Bottom Of The Barrel lyrics - amos lee
I keep on livin',
to keep from cryin'.
I keep on dreamin',
to keep from dyin'.
I keep on trying,
I aint gonna stop.
Get right down to the bottom of the barrel and float back on top.
We all know someone,
whos always hurtin',
The sun is shinin',
they draw the curtain.
One thing for certain,
the pain aint gonna stop.
You get right down to the bottom of the barrel and float back on top.
Cuz i know the grass,
is always greener in someone else's yard.
And the world is so much meaner,
when your heart is hard.
I go out walkin',
in any season.
It could be rainin',
it could be freezin'.
I don't need no reason,
it's just so pleasin'.
And i can't stop.
You get right down to the bottom of the barrel and float back on top.
Tou get right down to the bottom of the barrel and float back on top.
to keep from cryin'.
I keep on dreamin',
to keep from dyin'.
I keep on trying,
I aint gonna stop.
Get right down to the bottom of the barrel and float back on top.
We all know someone,
whos always hurtin',
The sun is shinin',
they draw the curtain.
One thing for certain,
the pain aint gonna stop.
You get right down to the bottom of the barrel and float back on top.
Cuz i know the grass,
is always greener in someone else's yard.
And the world is so much meaner,
when your heart is hard.
I go out walkin',
in any season.
It could be rainin',
it could be freezin'.
I don't need no reason,
it's just so pleasin'.
And i can't stop.
You get right down to the bottom of the barrel and float back on top.
Tou get right down to the bottom of the barrel and float back on top.

Love In The Lies lyrics - amos lee
I aint no wide eyed rebel,
oh but i aint no preacher's son.
Now, i see the trouble,
in all the loving that I've done.
And the world,
aint no harder than it's ever been.
Looking for love in the lies
of a lonely friend.
And so much superstition,
and so much worry in my heart.
I need a new religion,
it's time to make a brand new start.
And the world,
aint no easier than it's ever been.
Looking for love in the lies
of a lonely friend.
Remember when we were in California,
we were so much happier then.
Now we're back in New York City,
looking for love in the lies
of a lonely friend.
And now the clocks are running,
but no one knows where time goes.
Another moon is stunning,
there's only shadows that she shows.
And the world,
aint no easier than it's ever been.
Looking for love in the lies
of a lonely friend.
I aint no wide eyed rebel,
oh but i aint no preacher's son.
oh but i aint no preacher's son.
Now, i see the trouble,
in all the loving that I've done.
And the world,
aint no harder than it's ever been.
Looking for love in the lies
of a lonely friend.
And so much superstition,
and so much worry in my heart.
I need a new religion,
it's time to make a brand new start.
And the world,
aint no easier than it's ever been.
Looking for love in the lies
of a lonely friend.
Remember when we were in California,
we were so much happier then.
Now we're back in New York City,
looking for love in the lies
of a lonely friend.
And now the clocks are running,
but no one knows where time goes.
Another moon is stunning,
there's only shadows that she shows.
And the world,
aint no easier than it's ever been.
Looking for love in the lies
of a lonely friend.
I aint no wide eyed rebel,
oh but i aint no preacher's son.
All My Friends lyrics - amos lee
All my friends,
all live in pain.
Longing for the warmth of chilhood,
to bring them home again.
All my friends,
got broken hearts.
And if the world's at stage,
we're searching for our parts.
We'll face the winds,
and break the strongest of trees.
And beckon for the sweet, soft, summer breeze.
All my friends,
got broken wings.
never will you hear them asking why,
the cage bird sings.
All my friends,
they know how to live.
oh so much sorrow,
so much love to give.
We'll face the winds,
and break the strongest of trees. Beckon for the sweet, soft, summer breeze.
We all know that storm is coming.
Everybody want to know which way to go.
i see the crowds running,
the winds gonna blow.
All my friends,
are dear to me.
Oh when the storm comes,
they're as close as family.
All the friends,
are the ones i chose.
If i hear them knocking,
you know i can't refuse.
We'll face the winds,
and break the strongest of trees.
And beckon for the sweet, soft, summer breeze.
All my friends.
all live in pain.
Longing for the warmth of chilhood,
to bring them home again.
All my friends,
got broken hearts.
And if the world's at stage,
we're searching for our parts.
We'll face the winds,
and break the strongest of trees.
And beckon for the sweet, soft, summer breeze.
All my friends,
got broken wings.
never will you hear them asking why,
the cage bird sings.
All my friends,
they know how to live.
oh so much sorrow,
so much love to give.
We'll face the winds,
and break the strongest of trees. Beckon for the sweet, soft, summer breeze.
We all know that storm is coming.
Everybody want to know which way to go.
i see the crowds running,
the winds gonna blow.
All my friends,
are dear to me.
Oh when the storm comes,
they're as close as family.
All the friends,
are the ones i chose.
If i hear them knocking,
you know i can't refuse.
We'll face the winds,
and break the strongest of trees.
And beckon for the sweet, soft, summer breeze.
All my friends.
