Till I Gain Control Again

Just like the sun over the mountain top you know I'll always come again
You know I love to spend my morning time like sunlight dancing on your skin
And I have never gone so long just for telling lies to you
What you've seen is what I've been
There is nothing that I can hide a few you see me better than I can
Out on the road that lies before me now there are some turns where I will spin
I only hope that you will hold me now till I gain control again
[ guitar ]
Just like a lighthouse you must stand alone and mark the sailors journey's end
And no matter what sea that I've been sailing on I'll always roll this way again
Out on the road that lies...

Till The End Of The World

Till the stars in the sky cease to shine
Till the sand in the desert grows cold
Till the last petals fall from the roses
And the silver in your hair turns back to gold

Till the sun and the moon hide in darkness
And we wait for that great light to shine
Oh, my darling that's how long I will love you
Till the end of the world you'll be mine

Till the star in the sky cease to shine
Till the sand in the desert grows cold
Till the last petals fall from the roses
And the silver in your hair turns back to gold

Till the sun and the moon hide in darkness
And we wait for that great light to shine
Oh, my darling that's how long I will love you
Till the end of the world you'll be mine

Oh, my darling that's how long I will love you
Till the end of the world you'll be mine

Time After Time

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick
And think of you
Caught up in circles
Confusion is nothing new

Flashbacks, warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcases of memories, time after

Sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me
I can't hear what you've said

Then you say, "Go slow"
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting
Time after time

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time

After my picture fades
And darkness has turned to gray
Watching through windows
You're wondering if I'm okay

Secrets stolen
From deep inside
The drum beats out of time

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time

When you say, "Go slow"
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you and I'll be waiting
Time after time

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you and I'll be waiting
Time after time

Time after time, time after time
Time after time, time after time
Time after time, time after time
After time, after time

Time Of The Preacher

It was the time of the preacher
When the story began
With the choice of a lady
and the love of a man

How he loved her so dearly
he went out of his mind
When she left him for someone
she'd left behind

He cried like a baby
He screamed like a panther in the middle of the night
And he saddled his pony
and went for a ride

It was the time of the preacher
in the year of 01
Now the preachin' is over
and the lesson's begun

Guitar music

Time Of The Preacher Theme

PART TWO:

But he could not forgive her,
Though he tried and tried and tried.
And the halls of his memories,
Still echo her lies.

He cried like a baby;
He screamed like a panther in the middle of the night.
An' he saddled his pony,
An he went for a ride.

It was the time of the preacher in the year of 01.
Now the lesson is over and the killin's begun.

Tired

My name is Jackson, I was named after my father
I followed in his footsteps down here to this factory
And I ain't complainin', wouldn't waste my breath to
bother
This work ain't hard, it's only borin' as can be

I married Rebbecca back in seventy-seven
And I still love her and I guess she loves me too
We go to church on Sunday 'cause we want to go to
heaven
Me and my family, ain't that how you're supposed to do?

But I'm tired, Lord I'm tired
Life is wearin' me smooth down to the bone
No rest for the weary, ya just move on
And I'm tired

Only missed six days and nights of twenty years of
working
Money went to taxes and these bills I've paid on time
Raise I got six months ago don't meet the cost of
living
Selling my body for these nickels and these dimes

The smell of Becky's coffee rolled me out of bed this
morning
I showered and I shaved and dressed and pulled my work
boots on
Walked in the kitchen, and she was starin' out of the
window
And the way she said good morning
Made me ask, "Is something wrong?"

She said, "I'm tired, I woke up tired"
Life is wearin' me smooth down to the bone
No rest for the weary, ya just move on
And I guess we'll just keep goin' till we're gone
And I'm tired, Lord, I'm tired
Said, "I'm tired", Lord, I'm tired

To All The Girls I've Loved Before

To all the girls I've loved before
Who travelled in and out my door
I'm glad they came along
I dedicate this song
To all the girls I've loved before
To all the girls I once caressed
And may I say I've held the best
For helping me to grow
I owe a lot I know
To all the girls I've loved before
The winds of change are always blowing
And every time I try to stay
The winds of change continue blowing
And they just carry me away
To all the girls who shared my life
Who now are someone else's wives
I'm glad they came along
I dedicate this song
To all the girls I've loved before
To all the girls who cared for me
Who filled my nights with ecstasy
They live within my heart
I'll always be a part
Of all the girls I've loved before
The winds of change are always blowing
And every time I try to stay
The winds of change continue blowing
And they just carry me away
To all the girls we've loved before
Who travelled in and out our doors
We're glad they came along
We dedicate this song
To all the girls we've loved before
To all the girls we've loved before
Who travelled in and out our doors
We're glad they came along
We dedicate this song
To all the girls we've loved before

To Each His Own

A rose must remain with the sun and the rain or its lovely promise won't come true
To each his own to each his own and my own is you
What good is a song if the words just don't belong
And a dream must be a dream for two
No good alone to each his own and my own is you
If a flame is to grow there must be a glow to open each door there's a key
I need you I know I can't let you go your touch means too much to me
Two lips must insit on two more to be kissed
Or they'll never know what love can do
To each his own I've found my own one and only you
[ guitar ]
If a flame is to grow...
To each his own I've found my own one and only you

To Make A Long Story Short (she's Gone)

I see nothing to be gained by explanations
No need to try to say who's right or who was wrong
No need to enter into lengthy dissertations to make a long story short she's gone
I won't attempt to explain the things that happened
To put in words why she's not here would take too long
And it's all too far beyond the realm of understanding
To make a long story short she's gone
The way you look at me you don't believe she loved me
But she once loved me with a love so sweet and strong
I won't try to give the reasons why I miss her so
To make a long story short she's gone
To make a long story short she's gone

Today I Started Loving You Again

Today I started loving you again
And I'm right back where I've really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartaches mend
And then today I started loving you again

What a fool I was to think I could get by
With only these few teardrops that I've cried
I should have known the worst was yet to come
And that crying time for me had just begun
And today I started loving you again...
