The Girl From
It wasn't reall sad the way they good-bye Or maybe it just so bad she couldn't cry He packed his things, walked out the door and drove And she became the girl yesterday He took a across the sea To some land She stayed at and tried to understand How someone who had been so could be so far away And she the girl from yesterday She know what's right She doesn't know wrong She only knows the pain that comes waiting for so long And she count the teardrops That cried while he's away Because she knows in her heart he'll be back someday The light's on in the she's waiting by the phone Talking to a memory that's never home She of his returning and the things that he might say But she'll always be the girl yesterday Yeh, she'll be the girl from yesterday
Learn To Be
It's just another day in As you to your bed You'd anything to silence Those voices in your head You thought you find happiness Just over that green You thought you be satisfied But you never to be still We are like sheep a shepherd We know how to be alone So we wander 'round this And wind up following the gods home But the cries out for another And keep answering that bell And one more starry-eyed Meets a violent Learn to be to be still Now the in your garden They don't so sweet Maybe you've The lying at your feet There are so contridictions In all these messages we (We asking) How do I get out of do I fit in? Though the world is and shaken Even if heart is breakin' It's for you to awaken And someday you Learn to be to be still You keep on runnin' Keep on
Sunrise
It's another sunrise Starin' slowly 'cross the sky, goodbye He was just a hired Workin' on the he planned to try The go by Ev'ry night when the sun down Just another boy in town And she's out runnin' She wasn't just woman And I couldn't from comin' on It's so long Oh, and a hollow feelin' when It comes down to friends It ends another shot of courage Wonder why the right never come You get numb It's another sunrise,this old world still the same, frame, mm...
