Lyrics:
Oh brother, run away,
Oh sister, don’t go astray.
There’s a place of all temptation,
From the Devil’s own creation,
Some call it the House of Sin.
When light starts to fade,
Then souls are up for trade.
The thrill might get you high,
But your dreams are gonna die,
Tied down in the House of Sin.
Those angels don’t have wings,
Just smiles attached to strings.
Another dime might buy you more,
But close the door, close the door.
‘Cause I never ran away,
The lust led me astray,
Like a fool I paid the price,
Now I’m living in the vice,
Forever in the House of Sin.
There will be no redemption,
It’s the Devil’s congregation,
They call it the House of Sin,
They call it the House of Sin.

Singin' The Blues
04:15

Lyrics:
Rain falls where you left me.
Storms brew where you said that we’re through.
The sun once shined where you said I’m your only.
But tonight, I’m singing the blues.
Fires burn where you said I was crazy.
Smoke grew when you said you weren’t true.
Don’t tell your lies, all your lies; my mind’s getting hazy.
So tonight, I’m singing the blues.
And my anger fills, with cold-blood chills,
You’d better learn to pray…
A sinner on the run’s, no match for a loaded gun,
You’ll never get away…
Rain falls where I left you.
Weeds grow on that dirt above you.
One day, one day I’ll find someone who will love me.
But tonight, I’m singing the blues,
Tonight, I’m singing the blues,
Tonight, I’m singing the blues.

Lyrics:
Today, the black crow found me,
The sins in my eyes it could see.
It saw the life I stole,
Now it’s waitin’ for my soul.
Today the black crow found me.
Tonight, the black crow followed me,
Perched high upon the willow tree.
I buried all my crimes,
But I’m running outta time.
Tonight, the black crow followed me.
This mornin’ the black crow guards me,
In chains so I can never flee.
They found the life I stole,
Now I’m hanging from the pole.
This mornin’ the black crow guards me.
That evenin’ the black crow found me,
The darkness in my eyes it could see,
No mercy for my soul,
Now I’m bound down below.
That evenin’ the black crow found me.
Forever the black crow watches with me,
Perched high on my grave for all to see.
A warning to us all,
You reap what you sow.
Forever the black crow watches with me,
Forever the black crow watches with me.
Forever the black crow stays with me.

Lonesome Now I'm Gone
04:02

Lyrics:
The first day I’d left, you felt the sunshine,
Like darkness had traded to a new light.
But your heart that I know, will be lonesome, now I’m gone.
The first day I’d left, you said it was like thunder,
Like the skies opened and your mind felt clear.
But your heart that I know, will be lonesome, now I’m gone.
The first week you’d left, I felt the fire,
Of you running away, leaving me to burn.
But your heart that I know, will be lonesome, now I’m gone.
But day after day, your smile never fades,
From my dreams, from my dreams.
Our future’s on the line, but we still got time,
To change…
The first month you’d left, turned like Autumn,
Trees showed me the beauty of letting things go.
But your heart that I know, will be lonesome, now I’m gone.
The first year you’d left, felt like winter,
Dead flowers blew away, ready for spring.
But your heart that I know, will be lonesome now I’m gone.
But your heart that I knew, might be lonesome… now I’m gone.

Wheels Won't Roll
02:27

|

Lyrics:
Whatcha gonna do now your wheels won’t roll?
Driving too hard made you lose control.
Through those miles and miles of pain,
You still dream to hit the road again.
Whatcha gonna do now your wheels won’t roll?
Whatcha gonna do now your lights don’t shine?
Just standing in the dark near a dead-end sign.
You drove through the hail and the rain,
Yet you dream to hit the road again.
Whatcha gonna do now your lights don’t shine?
Whatcha gonna do now your gas has run dry?
No fuel for the fire that kept you high.
Mile by mile, year by year,
The broken hearts and fading tears.
Whatcha gonna do now your gas has run dry?
Whatcha gonna do now your wheels won’t roll?
Reeling those wasted years the freeways stole.
You never found money, love or fame,
But you’ll always dream to take the roads again,
Whatcha gonna do now your wheels won’t roll?
Whatcha gonna do now your wheels won’t roll?
Whatcha gonna do now your wheels won’t roll?

Fall Out Of Time
03:20
|
|

Lyrics:
From years long gone, a memory’s strong,
A ballroom in its prime.
We slow danced along to a teenage love song,
But we always fell out of time.
In those golden days, my heart was ablaze,
First time your eyes met mine.
But our lust was a phase, it moved and it swayed,
And it always fell out of time.
Count 1, 2, 3 and we’ll always be,
Two dreams that never combined.
Count 1, 2, 3; shame we couldn’t see,
How a love can shine.
Count 1, 2, 3 and we’ll always be,
Two hearts that never aligned.
Count 1, 2, 3; shame we didn’t see,
How a love can shine.
As the years roll by and our memories die,
I sway alone and ask why?
Wish I didn’t have to start,
Songs for a lost sweetheart.
Forever we’ll fall out of time,
Forever we’ll fall out of time,
Forever we’ll fall out of time.

Lyrics:
Bells are ringing in the churchyard,
Who knows why they ring today?
Are the angels bringing us sunshine,
To drive the darkness away?
Bells are ringing in the churchyard,
Who knows why they ring today?
Are the angels bringing us sunshine,
To drive the darkness away?
Oh young girl, why do you weep?
Oh young boy, why do you weep?
Heard her Daddy turned cold and forever he will sleep,
Then the Father took his soul that forever he will keep.
Bells are ringing in the churchyard,
Who knows why they ring today?
Are the angels giving us sunshine,
To wash the darkness away?
Oh young boy, why do you lie?
Oh young girl, why do you lie?
Heard your daddy sent your mumma far into the sky,
Very soon he’ll stare his maker in the eye.
Oh young girl, what do you say?
Oh young boy, what do you say?
Heard her daddy lay down for the last time yesterday,
You’ve got your freedom, time to walk the other way.
Bells are ringing in the churchyard,
Who knows why they ring today?
Are the angels giving us sunshine,
To drive the darkness away?
Wedding bells are ringing in the churchyard,
We know why they ring today,
We gave those angels sunshine,
And drove their demon away.

Turning To Stone
03:37
|
|
||
Lyrics:
Behind that golden smile,
Behind that shining smile,
Is a clouded mind,
Shadowed by all of the trials.
Behind those young blue eyes,
Behind those beautiful eyes,
Is a weary mind,
Tired of livin’ a lie.
She says I’m blessed to be living,
In a life full of givings,
But here I am crying alone,
And turning to stone.
Behind a love so deep,
Behind a love so sweet,
Is a broken heart,
Fighting to stick to the beat.
Behind that perfect life,
Beside that perfect wife,
Is an empty soul,
Trying to make itself whole.
He says I’ll push my feelings aside,
Walk the line that follows the guide,
But here I am crying alone,
And turning to stone.
Side by side we lie,
Inside we slowly die,
Crippled by our pride,
Wishing I could tell you why…
Though I’m blessed to be living,
In a life full of givings,
Here I am crying alone,
Here I am crying alone,
Here we are crying alone,
And turning to stone.

North Wind

Lyrics:
I have travelled too long,
All the memories have gone.
Take me home till the north wind blows.
I am crying in shame,
Keep me sheltered from the rain.
Take me home till the north wind blows.
And I’ll hold you, till you close your eyes.
And I’ll kiss you, keep your dreams alive.
Don’t you wait up for me,
One day soon I’ll leave.
But I’m home till the north wind blows.
Oooh,
Oooh.
And I’ll hold you, till you close your eyes.
And I’ll kiss you, keep your dreams alive.
I have travelled too long.
The road is where I belong.
But I’m home till the north wind blows.
But I’m home till the north wind blows.
