Bitter Rain (David Grissom, Malford Milligan. © 1995 David Grissom Music adm. by Bug Music, BMI/Blind Fool Music adm. by Bug Music, BMI) Call it wishful thinking, That you'd extend your hand For the sound of one heart breaking Inspire you to take a stand Something in the water, Something in the air Sometimes the truth is tougher Than any lie that we can share A river gonna rise And I'll bring you shelter A light is gonna shine, And I'll show you the way The river's gonna rise And I'll be there to hold you If not for forgiveness And this bitter rain Turning down tomorrow Spinning 'round a hollow core No one for you to follow Just the hope for something more Call it wishful thinking Paint it on my face Another tragic story About a fool who lost his place A river gonna rise And I'll bring you shelter A light is gonna shine And I'll show you the way The river's gonna rise And I'll be there to hold you If not for forgiveness And this bitter rain

Good Day For The Blues

Sometimes you fly so high Can't find a place to land

Got money in the bank A drink in your hand

But when the love gets low Someone's gonna lose

Our love is driftin' And it's a good day for the blues

When you shuffle your cards You always have a winning hand

When luck is on a roll You never have to take a stand

But when the chips get low

You know you're gonna have to choose

'Cause our love is driftin'

And it's a good day for the blues

Well, it's a good day for Bobby Blue Bland

For "The Thrill is Gone", Magic Sam

Whatever it takes I'll do what I can do

To bridge this river that runs from me to you

Our love is driftin' And it's a good day for the blues

Whatever it takes I'll do what I can do

To bridge this river that runs from me to you

'Cause our love is driftin' And it's a good day for the blues

Our love is driftin' It's a good day for the blues

Our love is driftin' And it's a good day for the blues

Ever since I could remember I had a vision I could see

But sometimes my vision Yes, my vision left me

The river thins As the day goes on

My vision dims and it feels so wrong

You got me on the blind side Of a two way mirror

I can't see out But you can see in

On the blind side Of a two-way mirror

I've got to say that my reflection is growing thin

The sound of your voice Well, it fills up my head

As I suffer in silence Wake up the dead

I turn up my nose At a funky smell

There's a foul wind drifting That I know so well

You got me on the blind side

Of a two way mirror I can't see out

But you can see in On the blind side

Of a two-way mirror

I've got to say that my reflection is growing thin

Give me some rope Throw out the line

An inch of hope Won't leave me blind

You got me on the blind side

Of a two way mirror I can't see out

But you can see in On the blind side

Of a two-way mirror

I've got to say that my reflection is growing thin

Don't Make Me Cry

Time to put me to sleep, Take this weight off my head

Clear off my space on this floor, And think about what you said

There's no great calamity, That waits for me here

There's something you twist in my heart

And I know you could make me crawl

Well I just might get down on my knees

And I just might beg you please

But no, no, no, Don't make me cry

Fear is the greatest killer, It took me in my sleep

It waited by the window, And it dragged me in the streets

I never saw it coming, now I'm down here on the floor

You with your hand in my heart, baby

And me begging you for more

Take away my worries, And cut me up until I bleed,

But no, no, no Don't make me cry

There's nothing I want more Than to make you a home

But this load is heavy and my body's chilled to the bone

Hell never waits for a thing It just takes what it needs

You're the one who told me Broken hearts never bleed

Well, are you the devil Or are you a saint

Please let go of my soul and just go on, and go on away

I just might get down on my knees

And I just might beg you please

But no, no, no Don't make me cry

I just might get down on my knees

And I just might beg you please

But no, no, no Don't make me cry

What Passes for Love

Lest we forget Bridges are burning

Lest we forget The tides they are turning

Please forgive us, send some help from above

We've got all we need but it's never enough

And I'm sorry to say that I'm amazed at what passes for love

Brother to brother Please take a hand

Father and mother Try and help us understand

We learn kind of slow but these lessons are tough

This house will survive if we hammer hard enough

And I'm sorry to say that I'm amazed at what passes for love

Too many riches Too many fools

Too many heros with too many rules

Fuel the fires of the wars we wage

Fire of anger, without light

Fire that shatters the black of night

With seeds of hate and tears of rage

Too many riches Too many fools

Too many heros with too many rules

Fuel the fires of the wars we wage

Fire of anger, without light

Fire that shatters the black of night

With seeds of hate and tears of rage

Lest we forget Bridges are burning

Lest we forget The tides they are turning

Brother to brother, please take a hand

Father and mother, won't you help us understand

Cause I'm sorry to say that I'm amazed at what passes for love

Solid Ground

BMI/Blind Fool Music adm. by Bug Music, BMI)

As the moon rises She knocks me to my knees

As her smile broadens I see what I can see

Yes, the saints call me The oceans call me too

With arms spread wide I come to welcome you

I can see my world From another place

I can see my world Way out in space

She moves water With her very name

Just a glance at you And girl I'm not the same

In every story Her face it can be found

A judge and jury By gravity there bound

I can see my my world From another place

I can see my world Way out in space

I can see my world From another place

I can see my world I just want to be there

Down on solid ground I just want to be there

Down on solid ground By gravity there bound

Maybe the ocean Can swallow all the world

The earth in motion Oh, the stories I could tell

Talking angels Speaking so profound

They all can hear you Such a lovely sound

As the moon rises She knocks me to my knees

As her smile broadens I see what I can see

Yes, the saints call me The ocean calls me too

With arms spread wide I come to welcome you

I can see my world From another place

I can see my world Way out in space

I can see my world From another place

I can see my world I just want to be there

Down on solid ground I just want to be there

Be there, be there, be there

A Piece of Your Soul

Are you the victim for the rest of your life

Waiting in silence for a touch in the night

Talk of forgiveness, well it don't mean a thing

Cause he's bringing his hunger and you know what he needs

A piece of your soul A piece of your soul

Sitting by the bedside he's breaking the light

Looking like a stranger, No one you've know all your life

If it was the devil You'd spit in his face

But he is the owner and you're all he can take

A piece of your soul A piece of your soul

As bright as sunshine A piece of your soul

As cool as fall A piece of your soul

As dark as midnight A piece of your soul

As lost as Cain All that he's taken

Well, you can't take it back

When the china is broken

No one can mend the crack

Talk of forgiveness, Well, it don't mean a thing

Cause he's bringing his hunger

and you know what he needs

A piece of your soul A piece of your soul

Cynical

BMI/Minute Made Music adm. by Copyright Mgt. Inc., BMI)

So cynical, wash my tears away

Unmerciful, did I hear you say

I've broken the mirror, I can't take it back

All of these masons won't mend this crack

So cynical, I've thrown it all away

Call me a fool, Say it so loud

Dropping my guard, Acting so proud

Damned if I do, Damned if I don't

You say you will, And I know you won't

So cynical, I've thown it all away

Labored and cried with every line

Wrote this, thousands of times

Labored and cried with every line

Wrote this, thousands of times

So cynical, wash my tears away

Unmerciful, did I hear you say

Damned if I do, Damned if I don't

You say you will, But I know you wont

So cynical, I've thrown it all

Damned if I do, Damned if I don't

You say you will, But I know you wont

So cynical, I've thrown it all away

I've thrown it all away, I've thown it all away

Luck Runs Out

(David Holt, Malford Milligan, David Grissom, Doyle Bramhall II.

BMI/David Grissom Music adm. by Bug Music, BMI/Doylebo Music adm. by Bug Music, BMI)

You spend your life, Trying to pull it together

But just like most money, It don't go too far

You build your house on a funky foundation

But it slides to the side, And you're buried in the sand

She left you walking in your nightmare

Just up and hurt us with nowhere to go

Silver crosses, you know they can't save you

'Cause all those curses drive you out of your mind

When the luck runs out, feels so bad

Can love be saved by truth

Call me poor, It's my possession

Sweep me out like I was yesterday's trash

But I'm still walking, Who's gonna stop me

None of your words can keep me under your lash

When the luck runs out, feels so bad

Can love be saved by truth

You spend your life, Trying to pull it together

But just like most money, It don't go too far

You build your house on a funky foundation

But it slides to the side

And you're buried in the sand

When the luck runs out, feels so bad

Can love be saved by truth

When the luck runs out, feels so bad

Can love be saved by truth

Can't Go There Anymore

She is dying to see his face

Another glimpse of that perfect place

So careful can't go there anymore

He is lying to himself

It's just a feeling that won't be left
