"Somewhere Blue"  Song Lyrics

Broken Feather
Think once, think twice, think of the days that passed you by
There's a old empty bottle of wine on the floor
We opened last saturday night
Think twice, think again, what you did was your own business
But the ice that your crossin is frightenly thin
And the winter’s are cold and dark
She left in a whisper, she left with a smile
She said she was goin out for awhile
But she never returned, she was never seen again
And all she left was a broken feather
All was found was a broken feather
It's the one she picked up in the park
Think once, think twice, pick up the pieces of your broken life
And throw out all the memories then turn out the light
Then the sun will come out tomorrow
Yeah, the sun will come out tomorrow
She left in a whisper, she left with a smile
She said she was goin out for awhile
But she never returned, she was never seen again
And all she left was a broken feather
All was found was a broken feather
It's the one she picked up in the park
How long will you hold on, how long
How long will you hold on, how long
She left in a whisper, she left with a smile
She said she was goin out for awhile
But she never returned, she was never seen again
And all she left was a broken feather
All was found was a broken feather
It's the one she picked up in the park
How long will you hold on, how long
How long will you hold on, how long,
All you have, all you know, all you keep, is all there.

You Waited Too Long to Reply
I plan to move on move on
I’ll be headed out that late night train
You lost all your money in some land in el paso
Then you ran out down to mexico
When you called long distance I was so resistant to your
Passioned plea of forgiveness
Please spare me the pain of your faint existence
I was a freak, on a carnival ride
I wrote, I sang, I tried anything at all to make you understand
Well the candle blew out and it fly’s in the wind
And I won’t be around when your ship comes in
Cause you waited too long to reply
You’ll miss all the all the good things you left behind
You waited to long to reply, so bye bye
I wrote you some letters I sent you telegrams
I even sent photos of our summer trip to atlanta
We cruised through georgia and I so adored ya
Yea we got crazy on love
Oh don’t you remember that cold in december
When you ran off with nothin to say
I wrote I sang, I tried anything at all to make you understand
Well the candle blew out and it fly’s in the wind
And I won’t be around when your ship sails in
Cause you waited too long to reply
You’ll miss all the all the good things you left behind
You waited to long to reply, so bye bye
One night I laid in the sand and gazed at the stars in heaven
There’s a shottin star right there accross the sky
One million miles way up high
I wrote I sang, I tried anything at all to make you understand
Well the candle blew out and it fly’s in the wind
And I won’t be around when your ship comes in
Cause you waited too long to reply
You’ll miss all the all the good things you left behind
You waited to long to reply, so bye bye

Arizona Emily
In 1845, I met up with the arizona sun
Through dust and dirt and rugged trail
Thoughts drift away and I mind began to wander
Behold my eyes, I see an angel
Right before my eyes, she rides a stallion in the sky
Some say everything is heaven up above
But I see heaven in the eyes of what I love
Arizona emily, let’s make love before your daddy gets home
Arizona emily, I do wonder how alone you’d be
In this hot desert sun
A solid gold forest all littered in sand
Over the hills and down the road
Through desert rain and howlin wind
Mile by mile, face to face
Behold my eyes, yeah, I saw an angel
Right before my eyes, she’ll ride that stallion in the sky
Some say beauty comes from everything within
But I see beauty driftin off to sleep again
Arizona emily, let’s make love before the mornin light comes
Arizona emily, I do wonder how alone you’d be
In this hot desert sun
When the heat burns your soul, and the wind stings your eye
It’s just another day
When the minutes turn to hours, and the hours turn to days
I think about it all the time
Arizona emily, let’s make love before your daddy gets home
Arizona emily, I do wonder how alone you’d be
In the hot desert sun
Arizona emily, let’s make love before the mornin light comes
Arizona emily, I do wonder how alone you’d be
In this hot desert sun, alright.

Somewhere Blue
Please protect me, for what I’m bout to say
Cause the wedding bells will ring out tomorrow
In my heart n’ soul, I won’t be there
Please don’t remind me a promise made in vain
Cause I don’t remember why I made it
I thought I was an ordinary man
False love be my witness, a broken heart in my name
Good love, good love will find me,
Good love, good love will find me, somewhere blue
You never said that you loved me, so why should I explain
It’s all for show & ya know that i’m still wonderin
And that’s how it was or somewhere blue
Any man can pursuade you, more than one if I recall
Good love, good love will find me,
Good love, good love will find me, somewhere blue
If I wish for one thing today, a ticket on a runaway train
I’d stare out the window and watch the fields go by
One acre at a time
Good love, good love will find me,
Good love, good love will find me, somewhere blue
Oh where will you find me, or will I fade away
I’ll be walkin down the road to freedom
I’ll be headin down the road to find my way
Cause I wish I was somewhere blue
Yea I wish I was somewhere blue

My Pretty Little Baby & Me
Come to my house, where the wind blows free
Yea I said, come to my house, where the wind blows free
Ya just got ta see my pretty little baby and me
Every mornin, every night, everything will be alright
Storybooks and fairy tales, listen up or go to jail
Yea, come to my house, where the weeds grow high
When ya walk through the backyard
Ya just want to sit down and cry
Jump in my car light the road on fire
Yea I said, jump in my car light the road on fire
You can fly as just fast as your little heart desire’s
Shiftin high, shiftin low, over the hills an down the road
Drivin fast, drivin free, hang on to your rosary
Jump in my car, hear the engine scream
Well there’s five on the floor
And my pretty little baby wants more
Come to my house, where the wind blows free
Yea I said, come to my house, where the wind blows free
Ya just got ta see my pretty little baby and me
Ya just got ta see my pretty little baby and me

That Same Old Time of Year
Two years ago, ya moved out far away from big city lights
That blind you at night and you imagine someplace warm
Oh I can recall a time when everyone just looked at you
And wondered why you looked so sad
But it didn’t matter much any way
But it’s fall, I can see the smoke clearly through the fog
A place in the sun, two acres wide, 4 miles away
From any place ya need to go, or anywhere ya please
Well ya look out across the landscape
It’s a photograph I’ve seen before, a split rail fence
50 years old it reminds me of summer
But it’s fall
Yea, it’s not hard, to wake up to the sound of it all
It’s that same old time of year
When whistles blow from far away on a cool october day
Yea it’s that same old time of year
When the wind blows from ontario
To places I’ll be ya know
It’s fall, I can see the smoke clearly through the fog
A fire at night, glows in the dark then simmers out before morning breaks
The smoke fades away then it allways disappears
But the time will be right for you all, when one day you look away
From big city lights they’ll blind you at night
And you allways looked so sad
But it’s fall
Yea, it’s not hard, to wake up to the sound of it all
Yea it’s that same old time of year
When whistles blow from far away on a cool october day
It’s that same old time of year
When the wind blows from ontario
To places where I’ll be ya know
Well it’s that same old time of year
When whistles blow from far away on a cool october day

I Survived
Sometimes I feel weary, and sometimes I feel strong
But I never stop wonderin, how this ole boy moves along
It's a long distant journey and too late to turn around
Gonna drive straight through that's the best I can do
Cause I'm a stranger in this town
But I survived, yea I survived, might call it a comeback, but I survived
In the light that's most favorable
To the state of my presence of mind
And to the reason that's most agreeable
To the woman I left behind
Hear the sound of the rifles
That echoes through the distance of time
But I never stop wonderin
How this ole boy’s left behind
But I survived, yea I survided, a god damn miracle that I survided
I was sold on a dream, that everything good was simple
I was caught in a maze, where I could see to the end
Can you survive the flame after the fires burned out
Do you believe you can hear, well work it out
But I survided, yea I survided, might call it a comeback, but I survided
But I survived, yea I survived, a god damn miracle that I survided
What seems to there’s not really there
What hopes to be true’s not really true
Sometimes I feel weary, and sometimes I go alone
But I never stop wonderin, how this ole boy went home
Yea he went home, yea he went home , he went home
Yea he went home

Break the silence
Headin down the roadside way, west facing the sun
Shield your eyes before evening falls
Or cry in the darkness
Allways somewhere, and it never seems to be
Got an old hat thats seen better days
Livin on hopes and dreams
Break the silence, hold on to me
The blue sky as my witness
I still wanna be loved again, loved by you
Accross the desert plain, someones calling
Echoed voices and stars in my eyes
And a cloud of dust behind me
Break the silence, hold on to me
The blue sky as my witness
I still wanna be loved again, loved by you
Every day, every night, is one less day in front of me
Probably take a few days, but i’ll get there
Walkin off the roadside way, I see better days
I bought a new hat yea and it looks all right
I can still be loved again
Break the silence, hold on to me
The blue sky as my witness
I still wanna be loved again, loved by you
Break the silence, hold on to me
The blue sky as my witness
I still wanna be loved again, loved by you
I still wanna be loved again, loved by you

I Believe in Love
 One kid is born again, one kid falls
You can live forever
When you open your eyes then ya hope for tommorrow
A kid ain’t a kid any more
Irrespective of what you might think
There’s a wave of trouble all around you
It’s a ring in your ear or it’s sand in your eye
Ooh ooh ride em high
Wait till sundown everything’s ok
We knew you might go far away some day
But a brother in arms needs to call out and say
That i’m still alive
Some believe in purety, but I want more
Some believe in the open sky, but I want more
Well, I believe in love, yea, I believe in love
Fire away straight through the heart
Don’t hesitate or it’ll be you
They taught you to follow the footsteps ahead, all in time
Wait till sundown everything’s ok
We knew you might go far away some day
But a brother in arms needs to call out and say
That i’m still alive
Some believe in purety, but I want more
Some believe in open sky, but I want more
Well, I believe in love, yea, I believe in love
Shake it off kid, stand up and be counted
A pawn in a fight has more chance than you
A quick game of chess is all they wanted
Time to make your move
Some believe in purety, but I want more
Some believe in open sky, but I want more
Well, I believe in love, yea, I believe in love

The First to See the Sunrise 
East side west side all alone
East side west side nobody's home
We used to have freinds, it's all over again
Inside outside in far away, inside outside what to say
You really fooled me when you said I would be
On the top of the world, a day away from springtime
Then I won't be the same anymore, no I won't be blamed anymore
Uptown downtown in the rain, updown downtown can't explain
I layed by the trees and I thought I would be
On the top of the world, a day away from springtime
Then I won't be the same anymore, and I won't be blamed anymore
Every mornin when I lay awake in bed
There's a poundin in my head and it sounds like thunder
And I can't stop the pain till I know I owe is paid
Then I'll know it's time to get up
Be the first to see the sunrise, in the mornin
East side west side it's all gone,
East side west side, what went wrong
You really blamed me for thinkin I would be
On the top of the world, a day away from springtime
Then I won't be the same anymore, and I won't be blamed anymore
Take all my money, and take away what's mine
I can live without that feelin, that feelin unwinds
When I wake up to the music and the music sounds fine
Then I'll know it's time to get up
Be the first to see the sunrise, in the mornin
I'll be the first to see the sunrise, once again
The first to see the sunrise

Memphis
I like to wander down south of the sun
And live my life from day to day
And it's high, yeah, it's real high
There's a girl up north that captured my heart
She stayed behind and cried, I said goodbye, oh yeah, goodbye
Maybe next time you'll come with me
Maybe next time you won't cry
I don't care what your mother might say
And the preacher sees it baby, his own way
I'm goin to memphis, yeah I'm goin back
I’m goin to memphis, yeah yeah all right
Well elvis knew what his fans could do
And I just wanna see it, in the summertime,
Yeah the lazy summer time
You look to the east, you look to the west
And memphis sure beats out all the rest
I said goodbye, oh yeah goodbye
Got somthin baby sets my soul on fire
Leave your troubles baby come with me
And I don't care what your mother might say
She wants her cake and eats it too
I'm goin to memphis, yeah I'm goin back
I’m goin to memphis, yeah yeah all right
Someday I'll come back for
I'll be comin back to find you, and I'll be dancin and romancin
Pack your bags, we'll fly like the wind
Down to memphis, start all over again
And it's right, it's so right
Maybe next time you'll come and be with me
Maybe next time you won't cry
I don't care what your mother might say
And the preacher sees it baby, his own way
I'm goin to memphis, yeah I'm goin back
I’m goin to memphis, yeah yeah all right
Well it’s all right, it’s so so right
Yea it’s all right, it’s so so right, yeah it’s all right

Tin Can Man
Walkin on a rail line, shoutin through the breeze
Smokin dried up cigarettes that always make me wheeze
Wishin for a warm day, sleepin in the sun
Wake up for a moment too see if I am done
Standin in a bread line brushin of my clothes
We all like to wait out here all standin in a row
I have friends who work all day but I don’t have the time
Workin hard is hard work, it’s always overtime
Hangin on the edge of the line
Beggin for a quarter or a brand new dime
I will live and die like you
Simple lazy days and I pay no dues
They like to cover my feet, I’m livin on easy street
Small change in my hand, I’ll allways be a tin can man
Hangin on that city street, spirits in my hand
Badge man tells me to move out or he’ll throw me in the can
Hey I don’t own the world like you and I don’t really care
Give me freedom anytime and bury all your prayers
Hangin on the edge of the line
Beggin for a quarter or a brand new dime
I will live and die like you
Simple lazy days and I pay no dues
They like to cover my feet, I’m livin on easy street
Small change in my hand, I’ll allways be a tin can man
Well I’m walkin with the tin can man
Yea I’m talkin to the tin can man
Everybody knows his name
Everybody plays his game
Hangin on the edge of the line
Beggin for a quarter or a brand new dime
I will live and die like you
Simple lazy days and I pay no dues
They like to cover my feet, I’m livin on easy street
Small change in my hand, I’ll allways be a tin can man
