SO LONG

Well I’m so tired of feeling so alone
I’m gonna pack my bags, gonna go back home
Gonna go back home, gonna leave my baby
Gonna pack my things now

Cause I’m tired of moanin’, and I’m tired of groanin’
And I’m so damn tired of spendin’ these nights all alone
Won’t somebody bring me, won’t somebody bring me
Won’t somebody bring me some tiny little piece of relief

CRY BABY

Cry baby, cry baby look outside
We all know what you’re tryin’ to hide
Mommas been pushin’ you far too long
And I wanna hear you sing a grown up song
O Lord, a grown up song
Cause it’s so damn easy when you sing your whole life long

Thick legged, cold eyed, heart of stone
What would you do if you were all alone
You’re clingin’ so tight to that icy glare
But that’s only cause you never gone nowhere
O Lord, you gone nowhere
Cause it’s so damn easy when you just get to sit and stare

Walkin’ on a carpet soft and red
Rolled out for you from far ahead
Well I want you to be one who knows what it’s like to have gravel between your toes
O Lord, between your toes
Cause it’s so damn easy when the red red carpet flows

Cry baby, cry baby soft and sweet
You’re singin’ like an angel but you got no heat
Skippin’ and dancin’ through the market place
But someday the doors’ll swing back in your face
O Lord, swing back in your face
Then momma’ll have to come along
And put you back into your place

CINDERELLA SINGS THE BLUES

Oh hear me I’m a hollow reed, blowing in the wind
Forgive me now I pray dear Lord, forgive me I have sinned
I questioned the unquestionable and I lost my only friend
Who left me in a world of sorrow, sorrow without end

My mother was no hand me down, but she was new and shone like gold
She guided me through darkest night, and warmed me from the cold
And now it seems that all my life’s a story that she told
A story that has weighed me down, trying to grow old

So I walked the years and swam the tears, guided by the Son
And but for fear of hell I may have ended it a young
Alas when we are of this world there is no place to run
When youthful dreams, with flimsy seams, surely come undone

But life is love and love is life of that one thing I’m sure
Aside from giving of ourselves, what else are we for
But all your bitterness and hatred closes every door
As you live your life alone, forever wanting more

So I’ll pick my scars, I’ll pick my scabs, I’ll pick them til I bleed
Until I’ve healed my soul I will not stop til I succeed
I want it all, I want what’s mine, though some may call it greed
And I can tell you that there isn’t much that you don’t need
To have, to hold, to save your soul, when you’re hollow like a reed

CRIPPLED HEART BLUES

Well the thought of you is like a burden on my shoulder
And the thought of you is like an aching in my back
You look so hungry and I can tell what’s on your mind
But I know you’d cripple me before I ever had the strength to say goodbye

Well I know you, cause I’ve been down that road before
And if I touch you I know I’m gonna want much more
I know your story cause it’s been written time after time
But I know you’d cripple me before I ever had the strength to say goodbye

Before I see you I role you over in my mind
And when I’m near you I feel punished like a child
You’re just so bad for me but I want you that’s no lie
But I know you’d cripple me before I ever had the strength to say goodbye

NOWHERE AT ALL

So I wait in the darkness for something to find me
Like a bird or a vision or some kind of song
And lament where I am and where I am going
Maybe nowhere, nowhere at all

Well just like a good child I did what you told me
I sailed my ship straight into the storm
But what is the plan now and where are we going
Maybe nowhere, nowhere at all

And I am waiting, waiting for the day
When you’ll come down and crown me
Just like a queen and tell me that you belong to me

But life doesn’t fall down like rain in the desert
It’s constantly breathing and moving in time
To the steps that I could walk away from all this with
To nowhere, nowhere at all
