Sunshine lyrics - Court Yard Hounds
You tell me that you don't like people
You can only believe in yourself
You pity all those who lack your higher breeding
So I can see the reason you don't have anybody left
Could it be the way you wear your fur on the inside,
Prefer not to go outside where the sky's way too blue?
Tonight you'll grace us with all your inner presence
While your back-handed compliments let the air out of the room
Hey, don't rain on my parade and kill a perfect day, wasting my time
Hey, you always find a way to bring me down when I feel fine
We call you sunshine
I'm just an angel that sits upon your shoulder
Says the world will pass you over while you're waiting for a crown
You're no stranger to the art of how to fake it
You play until you break it, you make it hard to be around
Hey, don't rain on my parade and kill a perfect day, wasting my time
Hey, you always find a way to bring me down when I feel fine
We call you sunshine
We call you sunshine
Hey...
Hey...
Someday you'll be up on your mountain
High above the clouds where you can never be found
But you start a fire just to beg for intervention
You like the drama and attention, God forbid we bring you down
Hey, don't rain on my parade and kill a perfect day, wasting my time
Hey, you always find a way to bring me down when I feel fine
Hey, don't rain on my parade and kill a perfect day, wasting my time
Hey, you always find a way to bring me down when I feel fine
We call you sunshine
We call you sunshine
You can only believe in yourself
You pity all those who lack your higher breeding
So I can see the reason you don't have anybody left
Could it be the way you wear your fur on the inside,
Prefer not to go outside where the sky's way too blue?
Tonight you'll grace us with all your inner presence
While your back-handed compliments let the air out of the room
Hey, don't rain on my parade and kill a perfect day, wasting my time
Hey, you always find a way to bring me down when I feel fine
We call you sunshine
I'm just an angel that sits upon your shoulder
Says the world will pass you over while you're waiting for a crown
You're no stranger to the art of how to fake it
You play until you break it, you make it hard to be around
Hey, don't rain on my parade and kill a perfect day, wasting my time
Hey, you always find a way to bring me down when I feel fine
We call you sunshine
We call you sunshine
Hey...
Hey...
Someday you'll be up on your mountain
High above the clouds where you can never be found
But you start a fire just to beg for intervention
You like the drama and attention, God forbid we bring you down
Hey, don't rain on my parade and kill a perfect day, wasting my time
Hey, you always find a way to bring me down when I feel fine
Hey, don't rain on my parade and kill a perfect day, wasting my time
Hey, you always find a way to bring me down when I feel fine
We call you sunshine
We call you sunshine
Amelita lyrics - Court Yard Hounds
Amelita, come to see ya
And I finally now know the truth
Oh I found you, in your costume,
And the comb in your hair is the proof
Am I right, Amelita?
You just stand there with nothing to say
While they watch yo play the leader
So I’ve come here to take you away
Or they love you, and we lost you
When he promised to make you a star
Oh he fooled you, and it cost you
And the age on your face show the scars
Oh my good friend, I can see you
As a young girls with stars in her eyes
What a beauty, such a dancer,
Now you lay out your heart as a prize
Have you no pride?
You’ve got the rest of your life
I take your hand, let’s go tonight
Just leave it all, I promise you’ll
Be fine across the bridge, the lights of town
You smile, and never turn around
I remember you and Amelita
Have you no pride?
You’ve got the rest of your life
Where have you gone my friend
Then light in your eyes is gone, gone, gone
I take your hand, let’s go tonight
Just leave it all, I promise you’ll
Be fine across the bridge, the lights of town
You smile, and turn around and run
Amelita, have you no pride?
You’ve got the rest of your life
I take your hand, let’s go tonight
Just leave it all, I promise you’ll
Be fine across the bridge, the lights of town
You smile, and then you turn around and then run
Amelita, have you no ṗride?
You’ve got the rest of your life
Have you no pride?
Hey yeah
And I finally now know the truth
Oh I found you, in your costume,
And the comb in your hair is the proof
Am I right, Amelita?
You just stand there with nothing to say
While they watch yo play the leader
So I’ve come here to take you away
Or they love you, and we lost you
When he promised to make you a star
Oh he fooled you, and it cost you
And the age on your face show the scars
Oh my good friend, I can see you
As a young girls with stars in her eyes
What a beauty, such a dancer,
Now you lay out your heart as a prize
Have you no pride?
You’ve got the rest of your life

You’ve got the rest of your life

Just leave it all, I promise you’ll
Be fine across the bridge, the lights of town
You smile, and then you turn around and then run
Amelita, have you no ṗride?
You’ve got the rest of your life
Have you no pride?
Hey yeah
Aimless Upward lyrics - Court Yard Hounds
Part of me is a climbing vine
A ball of nerves like a ball of twine
Laws of love and gravity
We are seeds with promises to keep
Part of me is a setting sun
In my skin and in my lungs
Almost wholly mystery
We are seeds with promises to keep
My eyes are wide
Aimless upward I will rise and
I'll be fine to take my time
It's a gift to see the stormy skies
But too much rain and the waters rise
I've got steady hands when my roots are deep
We are seeds with promises to keep
My eyes are wide
Aimless upward I will rise and
I'll be fine to take my time
Take my time
We fool ourselves with our happy tunes
Convinced the beauty is in the bloom
Can I let go of my vanity
We are seeds with promises to keep
My eyes are wide
Aimless upward I will rise and
I'll be fine to take my time
And eyes are wide
Aimless upward and I will rise and
I'll be fine and take my time
Yes, I'll take my time
A ball of nerves like a ball of twine
Laws of love and gravity
We are seeds with promises to keep
Part of me is a setting sun
In my skin and in my lungs
Almost wholly mystery
We are seeds with promises to keep
My eyes are wide
Aimless upward I will rise and
I'll be fine to take my time
It's a gift to see the stormy skies
But too much rain and the waters rise
I've got steady hands when my roots are deep
We are seeds with promises to keep
My eyes are wide
Aimless upward I will rise and
I'll be fine to take my time
Take my time
We fool ourselves with our happy tunes
Convinced the beauty is in the bloom
Can I let go of my vanity
We are seeds with promises to keep
My eyes are wide
Aimless upward I will rise and
I'll be fine to take my time
And eyes are wide
Aimless upward and I will rise and
I'll be fine and take my time
Yes, I'll take my time
A Guy Like You lyrics - Court Yard Hounds
I'm sittin' here alone on Sunday
Just thinkin' if I had my own way
I'd be sippin' on a gin and tonic
In an oxford with your scent on it
Just happy hangin' out
Nobody tryin' to figure me out
Nobody tryin' to figure me out
Well I've had my days of hell and heartbreak
But good times so "what the hell" I say
I'm just happy hangin' out
Nobody tryin' to figure me out
I look up and smile at the clouds and I
Make a kiss and throw a wish out
I run home just to write it all down
Anything to make it work out
With a guy like you
I fooled a friend and I got your number
I'm old fashioned so I wait and wonder
We go on hypothetical dream dates
I hear you laugh and I see your sweet face
And all's perfect in the world today
Yeah, it's just a crazy little game I play
I look up and smile at the clouds and I
Make a kiss and throw a wish out
I run home just to write it all down
Anything to make it work out
With a guy like you
Yeah, I look up and smile at the clouds and I
Make a kiss and throw a wish out
I run home just to write it all down
Anything to make it work out
With a guy like you
I'm sittin' here alone on Sunday
Just hopon' you will be here some day
Just thinkin' if I had my own way
I'd be sippin' on a gin and tonic
In an oxford with your scent on it
Just happy hangin' out
Nobody tryin' to figure me out
Nobody tryin' to figure me out
Well I've had my days of hell and heartbreak
But good times so "what the hell" I say
I'm just happy hangin' out
Nobody tryin' to figure me out
I look up and smile at the clouds and I
Make a kiss and throw a wish out
I run home just to write it all down
Anything to make it work out
With a guy like you
I fooled a friend and I got your number
I'm old fashioned so I wait and wonder
We go on hypothetical dream dates
I hear you laugh and I see your sweet face
And all's perfect in the world today
Yeah, it's just a crazy little game I play
I look up and smile at the clouds and I
Make a kiss and throw a wish out
I run home just to write it all down
Anything to make it work out
With a guy like you
Yeah, I look up and smile at the clouds and I
Make a kiss and throw a wish out
I run home just to write it all down
Anything to make it work out
With a guy like you
I'm sittin' here alone on Sunday
Just hopon' you will be here some day
Gets You Down lyrics - Court Yard Hounds
When life gets you down
What you gonna do?
[x2]
Are you gonna stick your head in the sand?
Are you gonna turn and run just like that?
Are you gonna take a fall or a stand today?
When hearts break you down
What you gonna do?
[x2]
Are you gonna pitch a fight and cry?
Are you gonna beg the reasons why?
Are you gonna say and do what's wrong or right?
Well you could always love me
Yeah you can always love me
Yeah you could always love me
And if it don't feel right
At least you tried
When I let you down
What you gonna do?
[x2]
Are you gonna slip away in the night?
Are you gonna hold the babies tight?
Are you gonna give me more of your maybes and mights?
Well you can always love me
You could always love me x2
And if it don't feel right
At least you tried
You could always love me
And if it don't feel right
At least you tried
But did you try?
What you gonna do?
[x2]
Are you gonna stick your head in the sand?
Are you gonna turn and run just like that?
Are you gonna take a fall or a stand today?
When hearts break you down
What you gonna do?
[x2]
Are you gonna pitch a fight and cry?
Are you gonna beg the reasons why?
Are you gonna say and do what's wrong or right?
Well you could always love me
Yeah you can always love me
Yeah you could always love me
And if it don't feel right
At least you tried
When I let you down
What you gonna do?
[x2]
Are you gonna slip away in the night?
Are you gonna hold the babies tight?
Are you gonna give me more of your maybes and mights?
Well you can always love me
You could always love me x2
And if it don't feel right
At least you tried
You could always love me
And if it don't feel right
At least you tried
But did you try?
The Road You Take lyrics - Court Yard Hounds
I've been thinkin' 'bout
What it takes to fall in love these days
I've been going 'bout it the wrong way
I've come to realize
I can't be afraid to give my heart away
Never knowing if you'll stay
I thread the needle's eye,
And take a chance to know just how it feels
When you take a leap of faith
Right in front of me is the proof I need to know
that I believe we only get the love we make
Ahhh, I, I am not alone
And I, I can journey on
I won't leave it all to fate
It's the road I take
Lines and gravity it's the price
We pay to be here in the end
And we all live with our mistakes in times of clarity,
I see the bones we break aren't always gonna mend
But no apology's too late
Ahhh, I, I am not alone
And I, I can journey on
I won't leave it all to fate
It's the choice you make
It's the road we take
It's the choice I make on the road I take
I've come to realize
that the roads we take have water on the bridge
I've come to realize it can be a long wait
When it's all insanity and the walls you built
have all come caving in
And you don't know what you can take
Ahhhh, you are not alone and
Ahhhhh, you can journey on
Don't you leave it all to fate
It's the road you take
And the road goes both ways
It's the choice we make
It's the road you take
It's the road you take
What it takes to fall in love these days
I've been going 'bout it the wrong way
I've come to realize
I can't be afraid to give my heart away
Never knowing if you'll stay
I thread the needle's eye,
And take a chance to know just how it feels
When you take a leap of faith
Right in front of me is the proof I need to know
that I believe we only get the love we make
Ahhh, I, I am not alone
And I, I can journey on
I won't leave it all to fate
It's the road I take
Lines and gravity it's the price
We pay to be here in the end
And we all live with our mistakes in times of clarity,
I see the bones we break aren't always gonna mend
But no apology's too late
Ahhh, I, I am not alone
And I, I can journey on
I won't leave it all to fate
It's the choice you make
It's the road we take
It's the choice I make on the road I take
I've come to realize
that the roads we take have water on the bridge
I've come to realize it can be a long wait
When it's all insanity and the walls you built
have all come caving in
And you don't know what you can take
Ahhhh, you are not alone and
Ahhhhh, you can journey on
Don't you leave it all to fate
It's the road you take
And the road goes both ways
It's the choice we make
It's the road you take
It's the road you take
Skyline lyrics - Court Yard Hounds
What am I doin' here
In such a lonely place?
Birds fly below
I'm high up in my cage
Wide awake again
Or am I dreamin'?
Trains passing by
World's spinning 'round my head
Then I heard a sweet voice cry
Telling me, yeah it's gonna be alright
I just look at the skyline
A million lights are lookin' back at me
And when they shine
I see a place I know I'll find some peace
I just look at the skyline
I used to rush around
To keep busy in the day
Then we'd sit up and drink
We might find something new to say
No, I can't live this way...
But then I heard that sweet voice cry
Telling me, yeah it's gonna be alright
I just look at the skyline
A million lights are lookin' back at me
And when they shine
I see a place I know I'll find some peace
I just look at the skyline
I look at the skyline
A million lights are lookin' back at me
And when they shine
I see a place I know I'll find some peace
I just look at the skyline
What am I doin' here
In such a lonely place?
In such a lonely place?
Birds fly below
I'm high up in my cage
Wide awake again
Or am I dreamin'?
Trains passing by
World's spinning 'round my head
Then I heard a sweet voice cry
Telling me, yeah it's gonna be alright
I just look at the skyline
A million lights are lookin' back at me
And when they shine
I see a place I know I'll find some peace
I just look at the skyline
I used to rush around
To keep busy in the day
Then we'd sit up and drink
We might find something new to say
No, I can't live this way...
But then I heard that sweet voice cry
Telling me, yeah it's gonna be alright
I just look at the skyline
A million lights are lookin' back at me
And when they shine
I see a place I know I'll find some peace
I just look at the skyline
I look at the skyline
A million lights are lookin' back at me
And when they shine
I see a place I know I'll find some peace
I just look at the skyline
What am I doin' here
In such a lonely place?
The Coast lyrics - Court Yard Hounds
I'm gonna head down to the coast
Where nothin' ever seems to matter
You know I love it there the most
When every piece of my world gets scattered
Blue skies, green water
White birds in the air
Brown skin, blue collar
And the wind blowin' in my hair
And I wrote you this little note
And I never even sent the letter
But I still want you to know
I found a place I feel a whole lot better with...
Blue skies, green water
White birds in the air
Brown skin, blue collar
And the wind blowin' in my hair
Blue skies, green water
White birds in the air
Brown skin, blue collar
And the wind blowin' in my hair
I'm gonna leave my old winter coat
And I won't even need a sweater
I'm gonna sit out on a boat
'Cause it's time for some sunny weather and...
Blue skies, green water
White birds in the air
Brown skin, blue collar
And the wind blowin' in my hair
In my hair...
Blue sky, green water
White birds in the air
Brown skin, blue collar
And the wind blowin' in my hair
And the wind blowin' in my hair
Where nothin' ever seems to matter
You know I love it there the most
When every piece of my world gets scattered
Blue skies, green water
White birds in the air
Brown skin, blue collar
And the wind blowin' in my hair
And I wrote you this little note
And I never even sent the letter
But I still want you to know
I found a place I feel a whole lot better with...
Blue skies, green water
White birds in the air
Brown skin, blue collar
And the wind blowin' in my hair
Blue skies, green water
White birds in the air
Brown skin, blue collar
And the wind blowin' in my hair
I'm gonna leave my old winter coat
And I won't even need a sweater
I'm gonna sit out on a boat
'Cause it's time for some sunny weather and...
Blue skies, green water
White birds in the air
Brown skin, blue collar
And the wind blowin' in my hair
In my hair...
Blue sky, green water
White birds in the air
Brown skin, blue collar
And the wind blowin' in my hair
And the wind blowin' in my hair
Delight (Something New Under The Sun) lyrics - Court Yard Hounds
Baby can't you see
You don't have to try so hard with me
And baby can't you see
You don't have to talk so loud to me
I'll make some time when you're around
Just come on by
Just come on by
Take a chance on me
'Cause you know and
I know we're on our way
To something new under the sun
Something new under the sun
Something new under the sun
Something new under the sun
Baby can't you see
You don't have to use that line on me
And baby can't you see
You won't ever waste your time on me
'Cause I'll ease your mind when you're down
Just come on by
Just come on by
Take a chance on me
'Cause you know and
I know we're on our way
To something new under the sun
Something new under the sun
Something new under the sun
Something new under the sun
To something new under the sun
Something new under the sun
Something new under the sun
Something new under the sun
When I look to the sky
And the spark from your eyes lights up the night
My heart is on fire
As our two universes collide
Yeah, we have arrived
Animation, we come to life
Celebration of something so right
The creation in perfect time
Of something new under the sun
You don't have to try so hard with me
And baby can't you see
You don't have to talk so loud to me
I'll make some time when you're around
Just come on by
Just come on by
Take a chance on me
'Cause you know and
I know we're on our way
To something new under the sun
Something new under the sun
Something new under the sun
Something new under the sun
Baby can't you see
You don't have to use that line on me
And baby can't you see
You won't ever waste your time on me
'Cause I'll ease your mind when you're down
Just come on by
Just come on by
Take a chance on me
'Cause you know and
I know we're on our way
To something new under the sun
Something new under the sun
Something new under the sun
Something new under the sun
To something new under the sun
Something new under the sun
Something new under the sun
Something new under the sun
When I look to the sky
And the spark from your eyes lights up the night
My heart is on fire
As our two universes collide
Yeah, we have arrived
Animation, we come to life
Celebration of something so right
The creation in perfect time
Of something new under the sun
See You In The Spring lyrics - Court Yard Hounds (feat. Jakob Dylan)
Cold Chicago nights
Chains on tires
You're diggin' out snow
That wind, it just ain't right
I made up my mind
I'm headin' home
Well babe, can't you give it time?
I'll keep you warm at night
This town is all I know
And I could see you in my life
Stay inside (I can't go outside)
Just please don't go (so I gotta go)
'Cause baby, your Winter is nothing but prison
It drives me away
And maybe, come Summer, then we'll be together
Our time will come again
'Til then I'll see you in the Spring
Ah, so don't throw it all away
Throw it all away...
The end of Spring and June arrives
Won't you take a flight?
Come down to San Antone
That heat, feels like I'm on fire
No, it just ain't right
It makes me sweat at night
I'd rather be alone
(It's just not right...it's just not right to be so alone)
'Cause baby, your Summer is nothing but prison
It drives me away
And maybe, come Winter, we can't be together
But love will come again
'Til then I'll see you in the Spring
Ah, so don't throw it all away
Throw it all away
You know I live just to see your eyes
I'll meet you half way
I'll meet you half way by the runaway sign
(Makes me fall when for me you'll find a way,
I'll find you baby)
'Cause baby, your Winter is nothing but prison
It drives me away
And maybe, come Summer, we can't be together
Our time will come again
When I'll see you in the Spring
Ah, so don't throw it all away
Ah, don't throw it away
Ah, so don't throw it all away... throw it all away
Chains on tires
You're diggin' out snow
That wind, it just ain't right
I made up my mind
I'm headin' home
Well babe, can't you give it time?
I'll keep you warm at night
This town is all I know
And I could see you in my life
Stay inside (I can't go outside)
Just please don't go (so I gotta go)
'Cause baby, your Winter is nothing but prison
It drives me away
And maybe, come Summer, then we'll be together
Our time will come again
'Til then I'll see you in the Spring
Ah, so don't throw it all away
Throw it all away...
The end of Spring and June arrives
Won't you take a flight?
Come down to San Antone
That heat, feels like I'm on fire
No, it just ain't right

'Cause baby, your Summer is nothing but prison

'Til then I'll see you in the Spring
Ah, so don't throw it all away
Throw it all away
You know I live just to see your eyes

I'll find you baby)
'Cause baby, your Winter is nothing but prison
It drives me away
And maybe, come Summer, we can't be together
Our time will come again
When I'll see you in the Spring
Ah, so don't throw it all away
Ah, don't throw it away
Ah, so don't throw it all away... throw it all away
Ain't No Son lyrics - Court Yard Hounds
I've got somethin' to say
I'm scared and so afraid
Can you take me as I am?
Come what may, our blood is all the same
I am still your little man
He said...
You ain't no son to me
You ain't no son to me
8 lb. baby boy I bounced on my knee
No, you ain't no son of mine
You ain't no son of mine
Ah, forget it girls
There ain't no use in tryin'
Don't expect to get my love for free
And don't blame me
You know this ain't no fun for me
This ain't no fun for me
All boys should be boys
That's how it should be
Yeah, you ain't comin' home
Nah, you ain't comin' home
'Til you walk a straight line
You'll be out on your own
Don't expect to save your soul for free
When you're the one who turned your back on me
Aren't you a sight to see?
Yeah, you're a sight to see
What you call freedom
Makes you look like a freak
Yeah, you must get around
'Cause it sure got around
Don't you know that I can't show my face in this town?
Don't think I'm gonna get you up off your knees
When you're the one who turned your back on me
Stranger, stranger on the wall
When the neighbors come to call
I just don't know what to say
So I put you away
This time I won't leave a trace
I'll fill up the empty space
When I put you, I put you away
He said...
You ain't no son to me
You ain't no son to me
8 lb. baby boy I bounced on my knee
No, you ain't no son of mine
You ain't no son of mine
Ah, forget it girls
There ain't no use in tryin'
Don't expect to get my love for free
When you're the one who turned your back on me
Don't blame me
Yeah don't blame me
Don't blame me
Shame on me, shame on me, shame on me
I'm scared and so afraid
Can you take me as I am?
Come what may, our blood is all the same
I am still your little man
He said...
You ain't no son to me
You ain't no son to me
8 lb. baby boy I bounced on my knee
No, you ain't no son of mine
You ain't no son of mine
Ah, forget it girls
There ain't no use in tryin'
Don't expect to get my love for free
And don't blame me
You know this ain't no fun for me
This ain't no fun for me
All boys should be boys
That's how it should be
Yeah, you ain't comin' home
Nah, you ain't comin' home
'Til you walk a straight line
You'll be out on your own
Don't expect to save your soul for free

I'll fill up the empty space
When I put you, I put you away
He said...
You ain't no son to me
You ain't no son to me
8 lb. baby boy I bounced on my knee
No, you ain't no son of mine
You ain't no son of mine
Ah, forget it girls
There ain't no use in tryin'
Don't expect to get my love for free
When you're the one who turned your back on me
Don't blame me
Yeah don't blame me
Don't blame me
Shame on me, shame on me, shame on me
Fairytale lyrics -
Every girl wants the fairytale
I guess I do too
We're restless, we're young
With so much to prove
You ask me to wait
But wait I won't do
'Cause the time I've been wasting
I could be spending with you
Take me... we'll run away
Out of this town 'til it fades
And they'll say we're wrong
But with you I'm alright either way
Money can burn
And money can talk
But it's love that makes the girl
Get up and walk
Ah, all I want's my turn
Yeah, I could be happy just livin' to learn
So take me... we'll run away
Out of this town 'til it fades
And they'll say we're wrong
But with you I'm alright either way
Take me... we'll run away
Out of this town 'til it fades
And they'll say we're wrong
But with you I'm alright either way...
We'll run away
I can't take this town one more day
And they'll say we're wrong
But with you I'm alright either way
Every girl wants the fairytale
I guess I do too
I guess I do too
We're restless, we're young
With so much to prove
You ask me to wait
But wait I won't do
'Cause the time I've been wasting
I could be spending with you
Take me... we'll run away
Out of this town 'til it fades
And they'll say we're wrong
But with you I'm alright either way
Money can burn
And money can talk
But it's love that makes the girl
Get up and walk
Ah, all I want's my turn
Yeah, I could be happy just livin' to learn
So take me... we'll run away
Out of this town 'til it fades
And they'll say we're wrong
But with you I'm alright either way
Take me... we'll run away
Out of this town 'til it fades
And they'll say we're wrong
But with you I'm alright either way...
We'll run away
I can't take this town one more day
And they'll say we're wrong
But with you I'm alright either way
Every girl wants the fairytale
I guess I do too
I Miss You lyrics - Court Yard Hounds
I, I would follow you
Around the world and back again
Yes, I'd give anything
Just to see your face another day
Time is a precious thing
When tomorrow you fly away
Yeah, I'll see you on the phone
But it's not you, just shades of gray
And I miss you
I can't wait to kiss you
Yes, I miss you
I can't wait to kiss you when you come around
I, I can make a choice
To fade away or make a stand
And you gave me my voice
But being gone wasn't in my plan
And I miss you
I can't wait to kiss you
Yes, I miss you
I can't wait to kiss you when you come around
Boy, you've been everywhere
You go around the world and back again
With you I can be myself
But tonight I'm going to be alone
And then I miss you
I can't wait to kiss you
Yes I miss you
I can't wait to kiss you
And I miss you
I can't wait to kiss you
Yes I miss you
I can't wait to kiss you
When you come around
Come around...
Around the world and back again
Yes, I'd give anything
Just to see your face another day
Time is a precious thing
When tomorrow you fly away
Yeah, I'll see you on the phone
But it's not you, just shades of gray
And I miss you
I can't wait to kiss you
Yes, I miss you
I can't wait to kiss you when you come around
I, I can make a choice
To fade away or make a stand
And you gave me my voice
But being gone wasn't in my plan
And I miss you
I can't wait to kiss you
Yes, I miss you
I can't wait to kiss you when you come around
Boy, you've been everywhere
You go around the world and back again
With you I can be myself
But tonight I'm going to be alone
And then I miss you
I can't wait to kiss you
Yes I miss you
I can't wait to kiss you
And I miss you
I can't wait to kiss you
Yes I miss you
I can't wait to kiss you
When you come around
Come around...
Gracefully lyrics - Court Yard Hounds
You, you wanna stay
Baby, I wish you would go
Please don't make it so hard on me
It tears me to pieces, you know
We're no good together
We settle like oil and water
I, I just wanna smile again
But you wanna drown in the bottle
And I can already see what our life would be
Life would be
Yeah, it plays out in my mind like a tragedy
It's not pretty, you see
So let me go gracefully
And I can already see what our life would be
Life would be
Yeah, it plays out in my mind like a tragedy
It's not pretty, you see
So let me go gracefully
Oh, leave with a vision of me from when we were in love
Yeah we were in love
Yeah, it plays out in my mind like a tragedy
It's not pretty, you see
So let me go gracefully
Oh, let me go gracefully
Let me go gracefully
Baby, I wish you would go
Please don't make it so hard on me
It tears me to pieces, you know
We're no good together
We settle like oil and water
I, I just wanna smile again
But you wanna drown in the bottle
And I can already see what our life would be
Life would be
Yeah, it plays out in my mind like a tragedy
It's not pretty, you see
So let me go gracefully
And I can already see what our life would be
Life would be
Yeah, it plays out in my mind like a tragedy
It's not pretty, you see
So let me go gracefully
Oh, leave with a vision of me from when we were in love
Yeah we were in love
Yeah, it plays out in my mind like a tragedy
It's not pretty, you see
So let me go gracefully
Oh, let me go gracefully
Let me go gracefully
April's Love lyrics - Court Yard Hounds
All the years I've gone through my life
Taking the fall just to make it alright
A time and place, never could erase
The day we met
You can't make me stay
I wouldn't anyway
'Cause it don't feel right
When it's said and done
You can't hold on to the light
If it don't feel right
Yeah, I'm OK, but I'm not the same
And I take it in stride
There's no way to lose, with pictures to prove
The lives we made
You didn't take a stand
You didn't hold my hand
You should have held on tight
When it's said and done
She's gonna run through the dead of night
If it don't feel right
Crimson pair, we could make 'em stare
Oh, but I slipped right down
I saw his face, all time erased
But that don't make it right
You've got a thousand lines
You're going overtime
Just to change my mind
With so much to prove
Babe you're on the move... it's a million miles
When it don't feel right
Taking the fall just to make it alright
A time and place, never could erase
The day we met
You can't make me stay
I wouldn't anyway
'Cause it don't feel right
When it's said and done
You can't hold on to the light
If it don't feel right
Yeah, I'm OK, but I'm not the same
And I take it in stride
There's no way to lose, with pictures to prove
The lives we made
You didn't take a stand
You didn't hold my hand
You should have held on tight
When it's said and done
She's gonna run through the dead of night
If it don't feel right
Crimson pair, we could make 'em stare
Oh, but I slipped right down
I saw his face, all time erased
But that don't make it right
You've got a thousand lines
You're going overtime
Just to change my mind
With so much to prove
Babe you're on the move... it's a million miles
When it don't feel right
Then Again lyrics -
He'd drive a mint green van and watch the Mexicans scatter
Be the first to admit he thought it was funny as hell
Now he's taken to flippin' off hippies at the river
Yeah, I never really liked him but I would never tell
Then again, I never did understand me
But then again, I never did understand me
I have bitten my tongue 'til I can taste the blood
And I scream 'uncle' when you twist my arm
I could say I was just too young
But I haven't yet learned to trust my bleeding heart
But then again, I never did understand me
But then again, I never did understand me
And just to keep the peace and quiet
I'd forfeit my peace of mind
Then again, I never did understand me
Come for me and I'll be your canary
And stay 'til then end when it's bad for my health
Yeah, I can can forgive every Tom, Dick, or Harry
But when it comes down to me
I can't forgive myself
But then again, I never did understand me
But then again, I never did understand me
Just to keep the peace and quiet
I'd forfeit my peace of mind
Then again, I never did understand me
I lift myself up for you to wear me down
And I do it every day as crazy as it seems
It's such a little thing like when I catch my reflection
I think, 'Girl don't you know you shouldn't wear those jeans?'
But then again, I never did understand me
But then again, I never did understand me
And just to keep the peace and quiet
I'd forfeit my peace of mind
Then again, I never did understand...
But then again, I never did understand...
But then again, I never did understand me
But then again, I never did understand me
Be the first to admit he thought it was funny as hell
Now he's taken to flippin' off hippies at the river
Yeah, I never really liked him but I would never tell
Then again, I never did understand me
But then again, I never did understand me
I have bitten my tongue 'til I can taste the blood
And I scream 'uncle' when you twist my arm
I could say I was just too young
But I haven't yet learned to trust my bleeding heart
But then again, I never did understand me
But then again, I never did understand me
And just to keep the peace and quiet
I'd forfeit my peace of mind
Then again, I never did understand me
Come for me and I'll be your canary
And stay 'til then end when it's bad for my health
Yeah, I can can forgive every Tom, Dick, or Harry
But when it comes down to me
I can't forgive myself
But then again, I never did understand me
But then again, I never did understand me
Just to keep the peace and quiet
I'd forfeit my peace of mind
Then again, I never did understand me
I lift myself up for you to wear me down
And I do it every day as crazy as it seems
It's such a little thing like when I catch my reflection
I think, 'Girl don't you know you shouldn't wear those jeans?'
But then again, I never did understand me
But then again, I never did understand me
And just to keep the peace and quiet
I'd forfeit my peace of mind
Then again, I never did understand...
But then again, I never did understand...
But then again, I never did understand me
But then again, I never did understand me
It Didn't Make A Sound lyrics
When I called, I heard you say, "Tell her I'm out."
And don't you know I'm smart enough to figure you out?
You said, "Come on we need to talk, let's go for a ride."
But you don't have to say a thing, I can read your mind
I hear the song on the radio playing loud
I might forever hear the words you thought would let me down
Hey, yeah, yeah, but my heart breakin'
Hey, yeah, yeah, but my heart breakin'
It didn't make a sound
We sat up all night while you apologized
And I think you were surprised to see me smile
But all I heard was the sound of the freedom bells ringin'
And I bet you thought I would be breakin' down
Hey, yeah, yeah, but my heart breakin'
Hey, yeah, yeah, but my heart breakin'
It didn't make a sound
It didn't make a sound
Hey, yeah, yeah, but my heart breakin'
Hey, yeah, yeah, but my heart breakin'
Hey, yeah, yeah, but my heart breakin'
Hey, yeah, yeah, but my heart breakin'
It never made a sound
It didn't make a sound
It didn't make a sound
It never made a sound
Go ahead and leave me, darlin'
You won't ever see me cryin'
You'll never hear my heart breakin'
It didn't make a sound
It didn't make a sound
It never made a sound
And don't you know I'm smart enough to figure you out?
You said, "Come on we need to talk, let's go for a ride."
But you don't have to say a thing, I can read your mind
I hear the song on the radio playing loud
I might forever hear the words you thought would let me down
Hey, yeah, yeah, but my heart breakin'
Hey, yeah, yeah, but my heart breakin'
It didn't make a sound
We sat up all night while you apologized
And I think you were surprised to see me smile
But all I heard was the sound of the freedom bells ringin'
And I bet you thought I would be breakin' down
Hey, yeah, yeah, but my heart breakin'
Hey, yeah, yeah, but my heart breakin'
It didn't make a sound
It didn't make a sound
Hey, yeah, yeah, but my heart breakin'
Hey, yeah, yeah, but my heart breakin'
Hey, yeah, yeah, but my heart breakin'
Hey, yeah, yeah, but my heart breakin'
It never made a sound
It didn't make a sound
It didn't make a sound
It never made a sound
Go ahead and leave me, darlin'
You won't ever see me cryin'
You'll never hear my heart breakin'
It didn't make a sound
It didn't make a sound
It never made a sound
Fear Of Wasted Time lyrics - Court Yard Hounds
You know me well
I can't sit still
I was raisin' Cain
Now I'm raising babies
Time might pass me by
If I close my eyes
So I'm on the next plane leavin' town
I'll be gone tonight and
You ask why I do it that way
It's just the fear of wasted time
The fear of wasted time
That's why
I hold my babies tight
Sneak into their beds at night
I'll just stay and watch them breathing
Next thing I know the alarm clock's ringing
I watch every frame
Of this life I've made
Take a picture but I miss the moment now
Looking in their eyes
And you ask why I do it that way
It's just the fear of wasted time
The fear of wasted time
That's why
The feeling's very strange
I'm waiting for the pain
And happiness can terrify me now
It could be goodbye
And you ask why I'm that way
It's just the fear of wasted time
The fear of wasted time
That's why, that's why, that's why
That's why
I can't sit still
I was raisin' Cain
Now I'm raising babies
Time might pass me by
If I close my eyes
So I'm on the next plane leavin' town
I'll be gone tonight and
You ask why I do it that way
It's just the fear of wasted time
The fear of wasted time
That's why
I hold my babies tight
Sneak into their beds at night
I'll just stay and watch them breathing
Next thing I know the alarm clock's ringing
I watch every frame
Of this life I've made
Take a picture but I miss the moment now
Looking in their eyes
And you ask why I do it that way
It's just the fear of wasted time
The fear of wasted time
That's why
The feeling's very strange
I'm waiting for the pain
And happiness can terrify me now
It could be goodbye
And you ask why I'm that way
It's just the fear of wasted time
The fear of wasted time
That's why, that's why, that's why
That's why
Well Behaved lyrics - Court Yard Hounds
I wanna do it
My, but it's trouble every day
And a battle of the wills gets you down
And you don't wanna fight
But it's hard to walk away
When a shadow of the good girl gets you bound
Baby, well behaved never lasts for long
You pull away and we've all heard the same old song
Where he ties you down, he doesn't want you strong
If he wants you well behaved, your love won't last for long
So you think you've learned your lesson
And you finally get away
And a boy with good intentions steals your heart
But you make him ask permission
Like when a child goes out to play
In a battle for attention, you start
But baby, well behaved never lasts for long
You pull away and we've all heard the same old song
Where you tie him down, you don't want him strong
If you want him well behaved, your love won't last for long
Baby, well behaved never lasts for long
You pull away and we've all heard the same old song
Where he ties you down, he doesn't want you strong
If he wants you well behaved, your love won't last for long
Your love won't last for long
Won't last for long
Won't last for long
My, but it's trouble every day
And a battle of the wills gets you down
And you don't wanna fight
But it's hard to walk away
When a shadow of the good girl gets you bound
Baby, well behaved never lasts for long
You pull away and we've all heard the same old song
Where he ties you down, he doesn't want you strong
If he wants you well behaved, your love won't last for long
So you think you've learned your lesson
And you finally get away
And a boy with good intentions steals your heart
But you make him ask permission
Like when a child goes out to play
In a battle for attention, you start
But baby, well behaved never lasts for long
You pull away and we've all heard the same old song
Where you tie him down, you don't want him strong
If you want him well behaved, your love won't last for long
Baby, well behaved never lasts for long
You pull away and we've all heard the same old song
Where he ties you down, he doesn't want you strong
If he wants you well behaved, your love won't last for long
Your love won't last for long
Won't last for long
Won't last for long
Straw Cage lyrics - Court Yard Hounds
Lyin' in bed, it's a Saturday
So hard to feel
Cold sheets stuffed between my legs
This time it's real
Oh, what have I done?
Babe, I was wrong
What time did you leave last night?
Where did you go? Where did you stay?
Here in the morning light
Is it gone or just time away?
I know I was wrong
Hey, I know I was wrong
Oh, the things I said but didn't mean
I was outside myself, it wasn't me
How to make you believe?
I know I was wrong
Stare at the food on my plate
And lose track of time, where's the sun?
I'd call and I'd find those words to say
But I'm afraid they're already gone
Babe, I was wrong
Hey, you're already gone
Oh, the things I said but didn't mean
I was outside myself, it wasn't me
How to make you believe?
I know I was wrong
I know I was wrong
So hard to feel
Cold sheets stuffed between my legs
This time it's real
Oh, what have I done?
Babe, I was wrong
What time did you leave last night?
Where did you go? Where did you stay?
Here in the morning light
Is it gone or just time away?
I know I was wrong
Hey, I know I was wrong
Oh, the things I said but didn't mean
I was outside myself, it wasn't me
How to make you believe?
I know I was wrong
Stare at the food on my plate
And lose track of time, where's the sun?
I'd call and I'd find those words to say
But I'm afraid they're already gone
Babe, I was wrong
Hey, you're already gone
Oh, the things I said but didn't mean
I was outside myself, it wasn't me
How to make you believe?
I know I was wrong
I know I was wrong
Are You Man Enough? lyrics - Court Yard Hounds
Heaven and earth, body and soul
I want someone to take control
To ease my mind, to steal my soul away
I was broken and I was cold
My dreams were heavy and growing old
Hold me now, don't let me slip away
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough?
Rock my mind, roll my bones
Give me something all my own
Surrender now without a fight
Darkest night, black as coal
You make me keep the heart you stole
I want someone, someone tonight
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough?
When I'm old, my time is done
Release me to the setting sun
Hold my hand and let me fade away
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough?
I want someone to take control
To ease my mind, to steal my soul away
I was broken and I was cold
My dreams were heavy and growing old
Hold me now, don't let me slip away
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough?
Rock my mind, roll my bones
Give me something all my own
Surrender now without a fight
Darkest night, black as coal
You make me keep the heart you stole
I want someone, someone tonight
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough?
When I'm old, my time is done
Release me to the setting sun
Hold my hand and let me fade away
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough?
Are you man enough?
