Your Driving Song

I do a lot of driving in this old car of mine
and when I go out driving there is so much time
time to stop and think about the troubles of my life
time to dream and time to feel whole again
but your love it makes me feel like doing
90 in the rain your love it makes me feel
like I'm tearing down the straights oh your
love it makes me feel like I'm drifting on my way
your love it made me write this driving
song for you today
I went driving down the high street at 7:35 while
the city sweeper's been a-sweeping up all night
looking down the road wondering where the people went
thinking of their night before what could have under-went
but I turn my focus to you again and imagine
what you'd say if I told you I'd be out driving
this early time of day would you laugh or
would you cry would you even ask me why
so I've written you this driving song in case
you ask me why
Driving down this country road with not a soul in sight
wondering which way to go left or right
left it leads me up the hill but right leads me to you
but if I turn up at your door what are you gonna say
so I've written you this driving song in case you
go away and I wrote the words on paper so you could
read it every day yeah I've written you this driving song what more can i say just make sure you haul
yourself to me here back one day

You left in a hurry was it something I said
then came home to find a goodbye on my bed
it's hard to imagine the sight that I saw
but the feeling that started
made no sense at all
The words that escaped me weren't my own
but the hurt that continued
grew right through my bones
I'd lost my soul-purpose my meaning of life
but thinking of you i then lost all my strife
But you come back home so i won't be alone
yeah you come back home no atone
Then you use me and bruise
me till I'm obsolete
then love me then shove me
right off my feet
I guess that's why they call it
a bitter-sweet goodbye
I guess that's my
bitter-sweet goodbye
Well how could I leave you when you're all I know
where could I run to where could I go
my friends they all tell me that you aint no good
to which I reply he's just misunderstood
But I come back home, when I should run off alone
yeah I come to my danger zone
Well one day I woke up and
felt the cold breeze
and packed all my clothes
and grabbed my car keys
and I started driving as
fast as I could
and smiled at the
thought of never seeing you.

o'My darling don't you cry for
the things that haunt your mind
for the things that haunt your mind
cause they won't do you any good
you don't feel the way you should
you don't feel the way you should
o'my darling don't you fear
the shadows on your heels
the shadows on your heels
cause they will only let you
fall they are trying to steal
your all trying to steal your all
but i won't let you fall
no i won't i won't let you fall
cause i love you more than
words could say i love you
more with each passing day
and i love you more than my
heart can take so baby just
come back into hudson bay
o'my lover don't you heed to
the scars upon your cheeks
the scars upon your cheeks
cause they remind you who
you were and the life you left
behind the life you left behind
where it all began here in hudson bay

I woke up the other day and I dreamt
that I saw your face down the east side
of Edinburgh road you were walking down
and past the inch I was in my car trying
not to flinch willing on that light to just
turn green when I saw you there
and I saw her there and I realised
that I must not be over you
so I start some therapy go-go cocoa therapy
but then I start to lose my feet so I try
drinking therapy but I just end up watching
Glee well that's not exactly what I mean
but you get the right idea now that's psychotherapy
but I'm not sleeping it aint like me all this
from seeing you in the street with that girl
upon your arm but let's be real she aint me
I was walking past that old park bench you
know the one you sat and you tried to teach
me french but all I learnt was voulez-vous
coucher now every time I walk past I feel like
crying but I don't really know the reasons
why I guess I'm just missing you do you
miss me when you're with her now do you
miss me man I need to get over you
All the nights that I spent broken on the floor
well they just made me wanna
hate you that much more but you
know you made me stronger after all
cause I can hold my head up and just walk on by
Now you're gone, now that you're gone,
now that you're gone, I can get on with my life

Yeah that's my guy there do you see him there
with the big blue eyes and the 'get-back' stare
with his big black boots and his black led zeppelin shirt
yeah there he is there beside his classic car
playing little wing to me on his electric guitar
Singin’ it’s alright he said its alright doing hendrix style
yeah he picks me up when i fall down to my
knees and he dusts me off and sets me back
upon my feet and i'd never wanna spend another
day without him here
i know he smokes, so what and he drinks too much and
he wakes up every day to the same old song but he
is enough for me he makes me laugh so hard
till my stomach aches we even dance the night
away to the songs he hates so baby
Don’t you ever change for me don’t you ever change
We always talk the night away Quoting movies
and songs we’re always First one’s out the
bar for doing something Wrong but I’d
rather be sitting here at home With him
doing nothing at all he makes he smile ear
to ear when i feel so sad he makes me feel
so good when i feel so bad and best of all
he's got the most sweetest eyes that i have
ever seen
he makes my heart beat fast and i forget to breathe
he treats me so damn good that i will never leave
and i know as sure as gold that he will never try
to deceive me so boy don’t ever try to deceive me

I Drink When I Miss You

So i sit here on the floor where you left me by the door
and i sit here wondering why i aint with you tonight
but then i call to mind the conversation
that we had the other night wondering
what you might be doing without me tonight
and i'm not gonna lie to you my dear
but i drink i drink when you're not here
and i'm trying to forget about your eyes
but i can't i can't forget your smile
so please don't leave me this way
please don't go just yet
and this may be the whiskey talking but i miss
you more and more with each day and i'd drink
that bottle dry just to feel you in my arms again
but then i'd pass out on the floor and forget
what i was doing there so no think of what you
might be doing without me tonight
and i'm to convince myself that i hate so
freaking much right now but i wrestle with
my thoughts and i find that's not the source
of my pain because you're all i think about you
are all i dream about at night so how i am i
supposed to live without you in my life
baby don't you leave me here this way baby
there must be some kind of mistake baby
there must be some kind of pill that i can
take to make this pain of mine disappear
to make this pain of mine disappear

Take me back to when i
Ran to you my heart
was open outstretched
towards you when it was
only me and you back then
and the love was sure as gold
but i found love with you
again you again we rekindled
what was lost but now we have
again and i i found love with
you and now i'll never go
back to never loving you again
we haven't spoken in a whiley
now and i'm afraid
the love has gone and i'm
rethinking all the times
we had or was it
something that i said
now i am not estranged
to sympathy you know i do it
every day but I wish you'd maybe
stop to empathise with how you
think that o might feel
oh take me back to innocence

Turn the lights down now
and walk with me through the open door
shut the world outside and walk
with me till the morning light
turn the sheets down now
and walk with me 46 feet down
forget your troubles and your cares
and come and meet me there
little droplets of rain
falling on us again
where do we go where will we go
before the rains gonna come
and then soon become
a flood and a fight on us tonight
but raindrops couldn't soak this ground
that we lay on and rain fall
couldn't foil these plans that we
made here and rain clouds couldn't spoil
this day and so i say my love
don't you worry about the rain
turn your eyes to me and focus on
every step i take leave your thoughts
in flight and stay with me
in the line of sight
turn your hand to me and walk with me
hand-in-hand down streets
show the world you care and promise me
swear you'll never leave

Today is the day that
you'll bury me
today is the day
you'll remember me
how i was before all
this took over me
and i am and how i
am in your memories
Today is the day that
you'll put me in the ground
but i don't wanna
look down and see
any of you wear a frown
cause i'm in a much
better place now oh believe
i only wish you could see
i was a mother and a
sister and a father too
i was a fighter and a
lover and a lot like you
and i awoke and found
my refuge in a sheltered room
no tear falling from your eyes
will touch the ground
no sorrow from the lips of yours
will make a sound
and regrets you hide away
beneath the depths of your heart
will fall away and be lost
in the darkness of night

Sans Vous
04:51

|
You're every where under my skin
and i can't remove you from my brain
though many times before i've tried
but the thought of you i can't deny
so shake up my heart and shake my head
and leave me here for good as dead
for a life without love is a life without cause
let our history be ALL THAT IT WAS
so forget about using my name in your song
go find someone else now go run along
go take what is yours find where you'll belong
and i'll whisper the words saying baby so long
and i'm running the risk of sounding quite deep
but boy am i glad you put us to sleep
now don't get me wrong i still miss you a bit
but i'll try to forget you lickety split
so darling for me, darling for me don't cry
for all that you know our love could have lied
so babe before you think about that
mind you were the one that made us fall flat
and my life goes on and my soul sings on
and my grace grows on without you
and my mouth still speaks even when i am weak
and my heart still beats without you.
without you.
