Gary Hall Various Lyrics Some Cry Words I like to take my time to write a line and let the words sink in Watch them dance across the page and crawl beneath the skin It hasn’t made me rich yet but it don’t cost me anything Just like sweet tequila burns your mouth then frees your mind Every song I sing I want to taste it line by line Spit out words like broken teeth and whisper soft in three/ four time No one knows what makes a song hit home and tear you up inside It’s like the distance between raindrops or the warmth in someone’s smile It’s not something that’s taught in school, you can learn to do or pick up down the years Some cry words whilst others just talk tears Some men write for silver, some men write for gold Some men write because they can and some write when they’re told I write because I want to it helps me lighten up my load But I won’t put pen to paper unless I’ve got something to say I once tried writing fairy tales but the truth got in the way If you’re gonna tell it like it is guess there’s a price you have to pay No one knows what makes a song hit home and tear you up inside It’s like the distance between raindrops or the warmth in someone’s smile It’s not something that’s taught in school, you can learn to do or pick up down the years Some cry words whilst others just talk tears So like a weary freight train broken by the rails on which it rides I’ll sing my songs against the wind as straight as arrows fly And if one should land in your heart then you’ll know the reason why No one knows what makes a song hit home and tear you up inside It’s like the distance between raindrops or the warmth in someone’s smile It’s not something that’s taught in school, you can learn to do or pick up down the years Some cry words whilst others just talk tears ©copyright Circuit Music A Little Ray of Sunshine Nights are growing longer, days are cold and short Everyone that’s been and gone is another battle fought But it’s getting harder now for a gentle soul to survive I need a little ray of sunshine to break these dark and cloudy skies These blues are hard to shake off and peace is hard to find When darkness crawls in to my thoughts and occupies my mind Until there’s no way I can think straight and the will to fight it dies I need a little ray of sunshine to break these dark and cloudy skies You learn a little laughter is the best way to conceal The scars inside that no one see that take so long to heal So I play the fool to fool you, distract you from my slow demise I need a little ray of sunshine to break these dark and cloudy skies Since hope left town some time ago I’ve been running low on highs This misery surrounding me is company I’ve come to recognise I need a little ray of sunshine to break these dark and cloudy skies ©copyright Circuit Music Let the Music Take You It’s hard sometimes on easy street trying to find a friend When they dance to different rhythms then they leave before the end And you feel like you’re the only one that no one can define That’s not true it just feels that way sometimes When it’s time to go home turn up the radio Every wavelength plays a different song Somewhere there’s a right line For everything that’s wrong Some came here for answers, some join the midnight dancers Tangled up in life’s sweet melody So if you’re running out of road, got no place left to go Let the music take you any place you want to be When the architects of heartache have got designs on you You’ve got nowhere left to turn now; you’ve got no one to talk to One man’s lost highway is another man’s way home You don’t have to make that journey all alone Some came here for answers, some join the midnight dancers Tangled up in life’s sweet melody So if you’re running out of road, got no place left to go Let the music take you any place you want to be You can smell the cut grass summer’s night on a winter’s day Taste the words of one who knows the things you’re trying to say Lose yourself in harmony, relive an old memory And let the music take you any place you want to be ©copyright Circuit Music Untamed Angel There’s magic in the way she moves, lightening in her touch I could drink her ‘til she’s dry and never have enough I could ride her wild ponies through the night until the dawn And when the sun came up I’d still be hanging on I’ve got two arms open wide, she’s got wings and open skies She’s no one’s baby once she’s lost in flight untamed angel out there running wild She tastes as sweet as honey, falls as gentle as spring rain She can set my soul on fire and dance between the flames I’d swim upstream against her tide through storms that never end Just to sail her calm waters once again I’ve got two arms open wide, she’s got wings and open skies She’s no one’s baby once she’s lost in flight untamed angel out there running wild I could never tie her down or clip her wings in flight, just wrap her up in ribbons of desire Like a slave freed from his chains freedom frightens me but I guess I’m free to walk anytime But I can’t walk that angel off my mind I’ve got two arms open wide, she’s got wings and open skies She’s no one’s baby once she’s lost in flight untamed angel out there running wild Come and lay yourself beside me one more time ©copyright Circuit Music The Sinking Faster Than the Titanic Going Down Blues I’ve got one hand waving one hand clinging on I’ve got one hand waving one hand clinging on The water’s rising and the lifeboats are all gone I’m washed out, in doubt, sea sick and confused I’m washed out, in doubt, sea sick and confused I’ve got the sinking faster than the Titanic going down blues I’m just tumbling on the cruel black endless seas I’m just tumbling on the cruel black endless seas I’m so far out you can’t rescue me If I don’t reach dry land soon I’m going to blow my fuse If I don’t reach dry land soon I’m going to blow my fuse I’ve got the sinking faster than the Titanic going down blues Guess there’s a price to pay for the comforts you refuse Guess there’s a price to pay for the comforts you refuse It’s called the sinking faster than the Titanic going down blues And between me and you, it aint the kind of cruise I’d choose ©copyright Circuit Music Travellin’ Shoes St. Christopher watch over me this plane I’m on is coming in to land I’m headed for another round of cheap motels, white lines and one night stands Every highway looks the same when all you see are headlights in the rain I’m a little young to settle down and far too old to change my ways Travellin’ shoes, Travellin’ shoes – once you’ve walked a mile the rest is hard to refuse And I’ve been up and down that road a time or two I’ve got a head filled up with songs to sing, I’ve got music flowing through my veins Instead of going through the motions like I used to they carry me these days And the best friends that I ever made were strangers when I first passed through their town So why would I stay in one place when home is any where I lay me down Travellin’ shoes, Travellin’ shoes – once you’ve walked a mile the rest is hard to refuse And I’ve been up and down that road a time or two Travellin’ shoes, travellin’ shoes – once you’ve walked a mile hey what’s another few I’ve been up and down that road a time or two And I’ll be gone again, I’m just passing through ©copyright Circuit Music
