El Camino lyrics - Amos Lee
Well all my friends treated me so well
You know I'm headed out to that Mission Bell
Gonna wash my soul, gonna get it clean
Heading down the border road called the El Camino
Well I've been a prince and you know I've been opposed
By a barb wire fence and a murder of crows
I believe in all I've loved and all I have seen
Heading down the border road called the El Camino
Heading down the border road called the El Camino
Yeah my hearts grown sick,
I've got a shepherds crook as a walking stick
And I'm heading on.
My hearts gone blue and I've done wrong by you
I don't know what to do
But I'm moving on, said I'm moving on
One and one is two, two and two is four
I'm walking back and forth
On your cracked tiled kitchen floor
With the orange juice and the sun that shines
It really breaks my heart leaving you behind,
It really breaks my heart leaving you behind
And all my ships have sailed away
The price of this politic,
That there's plenty of time to prayer
And plenty of time to waste away.
Well to all my friends, that I've loved the most
You know I'm heading out to that other coast
I'm going to wash my soul, and I'm gonna get it clean
Heading down the border road, called the El Camino,
Heading down the border road, called the El Camino.
Windows Rolled Down lyrics - Amos Lee
Look up child
The world is born
Shoe's untied
And your soles are worn
Windows are rolled down
Sun is setting high
Windows are rolled down
I'm fixin' to die
Corn rows have companion feel
This rocky road and this steering wheel
Who do you call to ease your pain
I hope for you to get through this rain
Windows are rolled down
Moon is hanging low
Windows are rolled down
Think it's time for me to go hey-ay-ay-a...-ay
Is it what you dreamed it'd be
Are you locked up in this fantasy
Oh this miles that have
torn us apart
My new found faith
and my broken heart
Windows are rolled down
Sun is rising high
Windows are rolled down
Feel that wind rushing by hey-ay-ay-a...
Windows are rolled down
Violin lyrics - Amos Lee (feat. Sam Beam)
Lately I, I've been heading for a breakdown
Every time I leave my house
Well, it feels just like a shake down
Between the street sweepers and the pushers, are the lawyers
Who may as well be butchers
Between the small timing hustlers who all seem to feed upon each other
Oh God why you been
Hanging out in that old violin
While I've been waiting for you to pull me through
Lately I, every time I try to lie down
Well, my mind just gets away
I can't even close my eyes now
Between the big fish ambition and the lovers
Using words as ammunition
Between the wood planks I've been pacing
And this impossible dream that I've been chasing
Oh God why you been
Hanging out in that old violin
While I've been waiting for you to pull me through
Oh God
Oh God
Oh God why you been
Hanging out in that old violin
While I've been waiting for you to pull me through
Flower lyrics - Amos Lee
My heart is a flower
That blooms every hour
I believe in the power
Of love
Well, in this lonesome meadow
Well, as soft as a pillow
Ooh, I pray that we'll go back
To love
I'm gonna reach on up, over that fear
Ah whenever I'm alone, won't you please be near
I know there's darkness before the dawn
Tomorrow's comin' and yesterday's gone
I'm gonna get my baby, head upstream
Fall asleep in her arms and drift away in a dream
Gonna go out walkin' in the mornin' light
Well, I know that my tomorrow gonna be alright
Gonna be alright
Well, I never shall wither
Well, of course, I, I forgive her
Oh, please, Lord, deliver me
To love, alright
I'm gonna reach on up, over that fear
Ah whenever I'm alone, won't you please be near
I know there's darkness before the dawn
Tomorrow's comin' and yesterday's gone
I'm gonna get my baby, head upstream
Fall asleep in her arms and drift away in a dream
Gonna go out walkin' in the mornin' light
Well, I know that my tomorrow gonna be alright
Gonna be alright
(Reach on up, whenever I'm alone)
Gonna be alright
(Reach on up, whenever I'm alone)
Gonna be alright
(Reach on up)
My heart is a flower
That blooms every hour
I believe in the power
I believe in the power
Of love
Of love
Stay With Me lyrics - Amos Lee (feat. Priscilla Ahn)
One by one we watched them fall,
Like trees on the country side.
Yeah you stayed right with me babe,
The river was rolling tide
Oh you stay, stay with me
Oh you stay, stay with me.
All through it with broken bones
Oh how you watched them heal
No you never turned away
You were never afraid to feel
Oh you stay, stay with me
Oh you stay, stay with me.
Oh and when the morning comes
Just know darling,
I had to be moving on
Oh and when the winter comes
Oh and you can't decide
For your rabbit to run
Or your rabbit to hide
Stay, stay with me
Please stay, stay with me.
Will you stay, stay with me
Will you stay, stay with me
Will you stay,
Stay
Out Of The Cold lyrics - Amos Lee (feat. Pieta Brown)
It's hard to argue with a bullet proof vest
Cause you can't walk straight with a bullet in your chest,
Another man down with a flag to fold
Yeah, it takes a lot of lovin' comin' out of the cold.
Two tours served never once has he cried,
The same can't be said for his brand new bride,
Bills pile up with no hand to hold,
It takes a lot of lovin' comin' out of the cold,
Yeah, it takes a lot of lovin' comin' out of the cold,
Mmmm, mmm, mmm.
Looking at the pictures up on the shelf,
He feel a mere shadow of himself,
22 years still he feels so old.
Yeah, it takes a lot of lovin' comin' out of the cold
Yeah, it takes a lot of lovin' comin' out of the cold
Yeah, it takes a lot of lovin' comin' out of the cold
Yeah, it takes a lot of lovin' comin' out of the cold
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm.
Jesus lyrics - Amos Lee (feat. James Gadson)
Oh, Jesus can you help me now, (Jesus can’t cha help me now)
Oh, Jesus can you help me now, (Jesus will you help me now)
Oh, Jesus can you help me now,
No, I never felt so alone
I remember when I was wild and free
Oh, so wild and free
Oh, so wild and free
But my heart was a skipping stone
But now the world has jaded me
Oh, corrupted and defeated me
You know I never thought you hated me
But I’ve never felt so alone.
Oh, Jesus will you help me now, (So, Jesus won’t cha help me now)
Oh, Jesus will you help me now, (Jesus will you help me now)
Oh Jesus will you help me now,
No, I never felt so alone,
So alone,
Oh Jesus
Oh Jesus
Oh Jesus (won’t cha help me now)
Won’t cha help me now
Oh Jesus
Won’t cha help me now
Hello Again lyrics - Amos Lee
Hello again,
I know it's been a long time coming
You say you've been, been now a long time running
You used to be, so beautiful
But you lost it somewhere along the way
You used to be so beautiful
But it's easy now to walk away
That wonder wall you're waiting for is now collapsing
Tell me more, but wait no no
Let me find out what you're asking for
You used to be, so beautiful
But you lost it somewhere along the way
You used to be so beautiful
And it's easy now to walk away
Away, away
Now you have everything you have ever wanted
Oh it's so sad to see
When the hunter becomes the hunted
You used to be, so beautiful
But you lost it somewhere along the way
You used to be so beautiful
And I'm sorry now I don't have nothing more to say
Learned A Lot lyrics - Amos Lee
Hey baby! It's all gravy
We all do what we got to do
Hey darling! I'm broken hearted
I've been crying but my crying is through
[Chorus:]
And I've learned a lot
I've really learned a lot
Broken down on a bedroom floor
Yes I learned a lot
Really learned a lot
I hope you found what you were looking for
Spent a lot of time staring at the ceiling
Spent a lot of time talking to wall
Spent a lot of time chasing that old-time feeling
Spent a lot of time waiting on your call
[Chorus]
Oh and darling! The sun has been fallin'
Like the dust on some mid-Western plain
Oh and darling! Instead of runnin'
I think it might be time
You sit down
And deal with the pain
Late at night I sit and listen to the freeway
Rolling like a river on a distant shore
Nobody told me that living was easy
I ain't living in fear anymore
[Chorus]
I hope you found what you were looking for
Cup Of Sorrow lyrics - Amos Lee
I want to drink from your cup of sorrow,
I want to bathe in your holy blood.
I want to sleep with the promise of tomorrow,
I know tomorrow may never come.
I send a prayer out across the ocean,
To a man that?s forced out of his home.
I send a prayer out across the ocean,
So that he may not suffer there alone.
I want to drink from your cup of sorrow,
I want to bathe in your holy blood.
I want to sleep with the promise of tomorrow,
I know tomorrow may never come.
I want to sit at your table of wisdom,
So that not one crumb shall go to waste,
For if we keep down this pathway to destruction,
Oh will our children will suffer for our haste.
I want to drink from your cup of sorrow,
I want to bathe in your holy blood.
I want to sleep with the promise of tomorrow,
I know tomorrow may never come [x3]
Clear Blue Eyes lyrics - Amos Lee (feat. Lucinda Williams)
When I look into your clear blue eyes,
I could cry, I could cry.
When I think of what they've put you through,
You know it tears me up inside.
Left alone in your darkest night,
By the one you trusted most.
How come they expect you to,
Be such a gratious host
When you look upon that heart of shame
Now I have to face,
All these accusations, questions that are
Aimed at your disgrace
Now you are left in the darkest night
By the ones you trusted the most
But now just follow blind ambition
Like a promise of the unknown coast
When I look into your clear blue eyes
I could cry, I could cry
When I think of what they put you through
You know it tears me up inside
You know it tears me up inside
You know it tears me up inside...
Behind Me Now lyrics - Amos Lee
All my best days are behind me now
Photographs tell of my wedding vows.
And if you want heroes then I'd sail up to the stars
For all I got beneath my skin are tears and scars.
I walked in these shoes ten thousand miles,
Been through all sorts of blading trials,
So if you want heroes then I'll tell you where to go
I'll sell you a map to find the faces that you know
Oh but for now I'll just be at this all night show
Oh yes tonight I'll spend my lonely dollar slow.
Yes I've loved and lost and loved again
Happy ever after's never been
If you want love then I suggest that you not wait
Cause I will new know not what I've waiting at heaven's gate
All my best days are behind me now
Still I find a way to live somehow.
Holiday Song lyrics - Amos Lee
Alone my peace will start with me
I want it for my family
And for all humanity
Alone my peace will start with me
I pray this time most every year
For greed and hunger disappear
And for no child live in fear
I pray this time most every year
It's gonna snow, snow
From the highways to the meadows
It's gonna snow, oh
From the white house to the ghettos
And to my gift I will be true
And do what little I can do
And when this year it starts anew
To my gift I will be true
Alone my peace will start with me
I want it for my family
And for all humanity
Alone my peace will start with me
