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

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

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

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

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

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

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?
