Will you meet me when the sun comes up again
Will you meet me and listen to what I have to say then
Will you meet me on the riverside
In the park betmeen the river and the FDR drive
Will you let me tell you how I've been feeling inside
Will you meet me halfmay
Before my heart lays dome and dies
 

Will you meet me where we've never met before
Out in the light just once before closing the door
Will you meet me under ice blue skies
With a tremble in your voice and a promise in your eyes
I swear before this court there'll be no more lies
Will you meet me halfway
Before my heart lays down and dies

Everything I said has been misconstrued
They weren't exactly lies, they weren't exactly truths
Now I know my life can't go on without you
Without you

Will you meet me where angels fear to tread
Will you let the king of fools remove the crawn from his head
Will you ever forgive one mistake
When I think that you still love me I begin to shake
And I might lie again if that's what it takes
Will you meet me halfmay
Before my heart just falls and breaks

22 miles to Bristol
22 miles to go
Driving all night through Virginia
Feels like I started out years age

22 miles to Bristol
Someone said they saw you down there
You left me before our son turned three
Now he's looking for you everywhere

22 Miles to Bristol
And I can't escape one thought
Between you and me lies the Sargossa Sea
And the boy thinks it's all his fault
 

22 Miles to Bristol
Through the cradle of the Civil War
Did you cry after you said goodbye
Or just plain shut the door
And never think about us no more
 

22 miles to Bristol
Now he's sitting here by my side
We'll look for you until his heart's fulfiled
If it takes antil the day I die

My bluebell
Blue as your eyes
Time will tell
If your tears will dry
You walk these streets
Trying to break this spell
A kiss could wake you, make you
My bluebell

My bluebell
Bring you blue bouquets
They can tell
All that I can't say
You lost your heart
Down a wishing well
I'm your brand new start
Are you my bluebell

Maybe you're right
baby it's late
And there's not enough time
to set things straight
I need some more time
no matter how mach it hurts
Things that went bad
don't have to get worse
Is there not enough time
for me to explain
There's no difference between us
we're two drops of rain

How can you say
we're on separate paths
And just walk away
without looking back
Try as I might
to leave you behind
There's a torch in my soul
burns a hole in my mind
You are the blood
that runs in my veins
Look at us babe
we're two drops of rain
 

Try if you will
for a minute or so
Imagine this place
after I go
Will you do this for me
Will you do it for you
Can you find enough time
to think this thing through
What will you lose
What will you gain
Who's gonna soothe
all of this pain
I know you as well
as I know my own name
Without each other babe
we'll both go insane

We're one and the same
We're one and the same
You can't tell as apart
We're two drops of rain
Iwo drops of rain

San beets down on the desert send
Cot no mater Jest en empty can
If I can't live in Paradise
Can't live anywhere at all

Las Vegas ran Oat of lack
California's all meshed ap
If I can't liep in Paradise
Can't live anywhere at all

I moved ci) to the great northwest
Rainstorm gave me no rest
If I can't live in Paradise
Can't live anywhere at all

Give me a home where freedom rings
Where the beffale roam
Where the blaebirds sing
No one knows how lonely
Someone can be

Someone lied when they balm this town
No place to rest bat the cold, cold groand
If I can't live in Paradise
Can't live anywhere at all

Oh sweet darling go ahead end leave
Got no more tricks left ci) my sleeve
If I can't live in Paradise
Can't live anywhere at all

Every HeartWon't LetYou Down
Greg Lanepac end Claire Maileily

Every moantein is not the same
finery dead won't bring the rein
Every spark won't start a flame
Every heart won't let yea down

All that glitters is not gold
Some folks don't mind growing old
There are stories that have not yet been told
And there's a heart that won't let yea damn

All year sad and lonely days
Are care to pass
All the love intidp yea babe
Was made to last

Every love song won't make yea cry
Every lover won't need an alibi
Every promise is not a lie
And every heart won't let yea damn

It's bent so long since me talked 'till damn
Back when the trains ran on time
I can't remember when we stopped
Seeing things eye to eye
I'm sure that your reasons were fair
And I acted like I didn't care
But I'm sure as hell not doing that well
Still hanging down in Cumberlend Square

I mender where you ace tonight
Did you move north or south
I know no one who knew you when
And ahere's no way I'll ever find out
I used to meet you on that step right therp
There was nothing that me wouldn't share
But I'm sure as hell not doing that well
Still hanging damn in Camberland Square

I love to think l'li quit this scene
Maybe catch a baa Out of town
I usually wish upon a star
Every evening when the sun goes dawn
Tomorrow I could be with yea somewhere
Leaning beck in that easy chair
It's ganna be alcight Just one mace tight
Down here in Cumberlend Square
I'm still hangin' dawn in Cumberland Square

I'll Keep it With Mine

We laid down outside Memphis drawing patterns on son moon Our sleeping bags were all we sad to keep away the dew
I could not help bus wonder if I could so,d you tight Since shat evening ch,ll I long to Solo you still Haven't seen you since that night

Bun I rinse my eyes
Ann I fee gsa
Cause Ornams come trje
By ann by
I love you only
But I'm never lonely
Ca~se you're always tonre
When I close my eyes
As she rain hits my windshield
It gets 'nuder every mile
I cannot see
Ahead of me
As clear as I see benino
I'm racing nut of Memphis
Hard and fast and bliss
Remember when
I was your only friend
How I'm the last thing on your mind

For a time my life was easy
cause I always snemen to know
One day ynu'n think of me
And finally see
How much I loved you so
But one cool October evening
Outuine the RendezuoLs
Through the fog ass mist
I saw two lovers kiss
One looked an awful lot like you
