White Train

We rode away
on a big white train
Far from the car bombs
and broke brick buildings
It was raining hard that night
but I couldn't feel it falling
on my
My brother, sisters and I
spent the night in a cramped caboose car
I cannot forget my mother's eyes
as we pulled out of the station
and I cried
Just another war child baby
Just another war child
Just another war child baby
you know I'm just another war child
and I cried

Don't go jesus
don't go leaving me lonely tonight
don't go love
don't go leaving me broken hearted again
and again my friend
You can feed me apples
and give me raisins and cakes love
try and fill my aching heart
let me see you
your sweet face in the secret part
it's never too late
to start
because i don't know how love
to be here right now
and you know it's getting harder each day
that you are away love
well your perfume lingers
and oil drips from my fingers
left behind closed doors
i've been waiting all my life
for my being to become yours
forever and more
so won't you come
lay your head down
and be here
right now
these moments
are all we have
till that day
that you take me away love
let's go away love
would you take me away
let's go away love
take me away
said you love me
never leave me
now i'm standing
in the pouring rain
outside the bus stop waiting
on a broken promise
that you said
you'd love me
never leave me
won't you come home
baby love me
never leave me
never leave me
said you want me
now i'm waiting
by myself out here

Georgia raindrop
fall down on me
soak me to the bone
fill me right up
Georgia raindrop
take me to my home
well you left me drowning
like a sweet magnolia
my mighty roots dug up
you left me crawling
right toward your wide banks
through the Texas floods
stay, won't you stay with me
you know there's nothin sweeter
than this evening
pray, would you pray for me
the last thing that i need's
another kiss on the cheek
stay, stay with me
everybody needs a little sympathy
pray, would you pray for me
you know there's nothing sweeter
than this evening
Let your hair down
sweet Virginia
show me how it really feels
to be swaying
oh sweet Virginia
in the summer
and would you
stay with me
you know there's nothing sweeter
than this evening
and pray,
i know you're gonna pray for me
the last thing that i need's
another kiss on the cheek
stay, stay with me
you know there's nothing sweeter
than this evening
pray, pray for me
everybody needs a little sympathy
Georgia raindrop
fall down on me
soak me to the bone
Fill me right up
Georgia rain drop
take me to my home
stay, won't you stay with me
you know there's nothin sweeter
than this evening
pray, would you pray for me
the last thing that i need's
another kiss on the cheek
stay, stay with me
everybody needs a little sympathy
pray, would you pray for me
you know there's nothing sweeter
than this

Leave This Town
03:06

'Tis the season
for red wine and cloves
fifth grade mischief
nobody knows we ran away
ran away
Mama and daddy
are stayin up late
mama kicked his teeth in
daddy slapped her
in the face, in the face
we're not slowing down
Gonna leave this town
no time to say hello
gonna wave goodbye
to everything we know
and when the sun goes down
we'll leave our trail behind
we're gonna ride this train
into the night
You think I'm crazy
for thinkin outloud
put yourself in my shoes
nobody wants to be alone
one of these days
i'll get behind the lies
look into the mirror
see what's behind these eyes
don't you tell me why
I need to leave this town
no time to say hello
gonna wave goodbye
to everything we know
and when the sun goes down
we'll leave our trail behind
we're gonna burn our way
thru midnight
Gonna leave this town
no time to say hello
gonna wave goodbye
to everything we know
and when the sun goes down
we'll leave our trail behind
we're gonna ride this train
into the night

I went looking
the other night
outside my home
for you
I was asking
if it's all right
for me to love
the way I do
it's up to you
sweet dreams
rosy sharon
your heart belongs
to an apricot sky
that is free
sleep tight
rosy sharon
i will take care of you
tonight
i will hold you tight
let me love you
love you right
