Sweet Amnesia

Sweet amnesia
Help me to forget
All these heartaches
All my worries and all my regrets
Well, I hit the road, I split the scene
I hit the dusty trail
To my home down south of San Antone
Back to the Llano Grande
Back to the Rio Grande
Let that muddy water help to heal my soul
From the mountain
I heard the call
You've been there too long
It's time to come back, boy
Where you belong
Well I hit the road, I split the scene
No matter where I went
Trouble always followed right behind
Ain't it funny how that wanderlust
Is just a lonely road
That always seems to lead you
Right back home
Sweet amnesia
Help me to forget
All these heartaches
All my worries and all my regrets
Well I hit the road
I split the scene
I hit the dusty trail
To my home down south of San Antone
Back to the Llano Grande
Back to the Rio Grande
Let that muddy water help to heal my soul

Matter of Time
03:03

Big ol' lights fill Texas skies
Reflects the love that's in your eyes
The stars are way too hard to see
But their light still shines on me
It's a matter of time
Before you've given up on me
I know, that's fine
'Cause I don't need your sympathy
It's a long and lonesome road
And I don't know which way to go
Seems like you've been this way before
Every road leads to your door
It's a matter of time
Before you give it all for free
I know, that's fine
'Cause it don't belong to me
A matter of time
Before everything you ever wanted is mine
But that won't keep you here with me

Valerian
I need to dream
And lay to rest
This hopelessness
The stars are fading
The porch light's failing
And I am waiting
For dawn
To come around
Searching through the moonlit misty hills
For the only one to cure my ills
Valerian
Please bring to me
The kind of peace
That goes with sleep
The stars are fading
The porch light's failing
And I am waiting
For dawn
To come around
To come around
To come around
To come around

Come and See Me
02:50

If you want love
Come and get some
If you need me
Well, come and see me
You and I and everyone we know
Is looking for a love with room to grow
And if you got that love light, let it show
Stop wasting time
I never thought it would happen to me
You fill my head with poetry
When you're around
And I'm feeling down
I never thought it would happen to me
You fill my head with poetry
When you're around
And I'm feeling down
'Cause you and I and everyone we know
Is looking for a love with room to grow
And if you got that love light, let it show
Stop wasting time
If you want love
Come and get some
If you need me then
Come and see me

Loveblind Memory
02:22
|
|||
|
Hold me close, don't ever let me go
Ask me all the things you want to know
Tell me what you see
When you look at me
Kiss me once before we say goodnight
Kiss me twice and let me spend the night
And tell me what you see
What you really see in me
'Cause oh
Sweet darlin'
You know it's true
Alone
Sweet darlin'
I'm not that strong
Time has passed and now our love is through
But I can't seem to get over you
A loveblind memory
Is all you ever were to me
And oh,
Sweet darlin'
You know it's true
You left me crying
I'm not that strong
These days I can't seem to recognize
When I'm lookin' love right in the eyes
I'm too blind to see
You never really looked at me
A loveblind memory
Is all you ever were to me

I was lost, I was found
You turned me around
Oh, you never gave your love to me
You were running around
With other fellas in town
Oh, you never gave your love to me
I do confess that you're not like the rest
At least you never gave me no guarantees
'Cause all that foolin' around
Has got me feelin' like a clown
Oh, you never gave your love to me
I do declare that you'll never compare
You'll never find another man like me
'Cause I was lost and I was found
But you turned me around
Oh, you never gave your love to me
No, you never gave your love to me

Oh Cordelia
03:30

Oh Cordelia
Please give me water
I am thirsty and my well's run dry
Wear that dress that you wore last Sunday
Do a dance and make the rain come tumbling down
It's been years since we've seen a lot of rain in this town
Open up your clouds and let the
Rain come tumbling down
Cordelia
Oh Cordelia
Please tell me something
Are your waters as calm as they seem?
I'm as dry as a desert canyon
And I'm looking for a place that's so serene
Your eyes are the color of the deep blue sea
And there's water, water everywhere
But not a drop to drink
And I'm blind, I've got no direction
I can't seem to find my way
Let me find the still in your waters to
Take my pain away
Please take it all away
Please wash it all away
Cordelia

Changes By the Sea
03:47
|
|||
|
I was living by the sea
I'd wake up every morning
And sing the stars to sleep
You blew in like a hurricane
Chasing through my city
Now nothing looks the same
I guess it's all down to me
What I want and what I need
The rising tide, the setting sun
Empty when the day is done
Unwanted
Take me back across your sea
Skip me through the water
A stone that will not sink
I've been shaken by the sound
Crashing on my shoreline
Or in your lost and found
I guess it's all up to me
What it's done to you and what it's done to me
A change will come with the tide
And all the things it leaves behind
Unwanted
I guess it's all up to me
What I want and what I need
A change will come with the tide
And all the things it leaves behind
Unwanted
Unneeded

Dog Without a Bone
04:24
|
|||
|
All those nights alone
Waiting for your call
The one that never came
Was this some game?
Some game you were just playing?
Are you a danger to yourself?
To you and no one else
Except for maybe me
Another casualty
Of all your nights alone
(That's just the way it goes)
I was lying to myself by pretending you were someone else
I was waiting for a sign
I was waiting for a line
It's like waiting for the sun to set
And now I'm spending
All my nights alone wondering what went wrong
And then I get your call
But there's nothing, nothing left to say
I'm like a dog without a bone
A house that ain't a home
I'm a stranger to myself
Just me and no one else
I guess you'd probably say
I wanted it that way
But no one really wants
What they think they want
I'm better off alone
Than a dog without a bone
(And there's nothing you can do about it, honey!)

Saturday evening, Sunday morning
You come knocking
On my door
You've been out late having some fun
Now you're lookin'
For some more
There ain't no beer left in the fridge dear
I think you killed it
The night before
The house is all locked up and quiet
And I'm long gone
Saturday evening, Sunday morning
Saturday evening, Sunday morning
It's finally dawning
On you
After all the party weekends
I started thinking
I should do better for myself
Gonna head out on that highway
Back to my hometown
And find myself a girl
That'd rather stay in on the weekends
And only needs a friend
Saturday evening, Sunday morning

Lonely Only One
03:48
|
|||
|
This can't just be coincidence
That you would crash right into me
And leave without a scratch
But then again it all makes sense
You put your love all over me
I knew there'd be a catch
Take the time to see
What you will always mean to me
You cut me off so fast
I went into a spin
Since then I've been your
One and only lonely only one
Take the time to see
What you will always mean to me
A lucky happenstance
A cruel circumstance
A failed romance makes me your
One and only lonely only one
I guess we moved a bit too fast
But that ain't all on me
You know we took a chance
Lord, please excuse two fools in love
That flew too high too fast
I was the one that crashed
Take the time to see
What you will always mean to me
A serendipity
A bitter irony
I'll always be your
One and only lonely only one
I guess that's me
Your one and only lonely only one
I was meant to be
Your one and only lonely only one

Tried So Hard
03:24
|

Listen everybody
Gonna tell you all a story
'Bout a man got nothin to say
He's a real golden oldie
Call him Mr. Faded Glory
'Cause he don't get the kids these days
Will you look my way
All I wanted was to stay
Will you sit by me
Before you set me free
I never had a reason to
Think I would be cheated by the
Things that I wanted to do
But just as luck would have it
The tortoise beat the rabbit
'Cause he never really had a clue
Will you sit by me
Before you set me free
Why can't it be
All I wanted it to be
I tried so hard to live without her
I tried so hard to be myself
You know I tried
Listen everybody
Gonna tell you all a story
'Bout a man got nothin to say
He's a real golden oldie
Call him Mr. Faded Glory
'Cause he don't get the kids these days
There's a slow train comin'
You can hear that motor running
When you've got such a heavy load
It's time to get up off these tracks
'Cause there ain't no coming back when you
Get to the end of the road
Will you sit by me
Oh before you set me free
Why can't it be
All I wanted it to be
I tried so hard to live without her
I tried so hard to be myself
I used to get so nervous that I'd start to stutter
I couldn't believe that she was mine
When she was mine
All I wanted was to stay
Oh you know I really tried so hard
But the words get in the way

Take Me to La Homa
04:10
|
|||
|
I know this house is haunted
By the man that I used to be
A ghost dearly departed
A long lost memory
The day brings shadows early
To the corners of the room
Time to chase the sunset
Shake off all these blues
Because I'm coming back
Take me to La Homa
Where I can be myself
Gonna take a little time
Gonna find the things I've lost
'Cause it's long enough
For me to like myself
The wheels just keep on turning
Like they know where to go
Some unknown destination
Moving down the road
Gonna find my inspiration
Like a song for a blue guitar
Somewhere past the sunset
I'll be home after dark
Gonna get right back
Take me to La Homa
Where I can be myself
If it takes a little time
Gonna find the things I've lost
'Cause it's long enough
For me to like myself
And it's been long enough
For me to like myself
