I flip the light switch on for daylight Pour a cup of coffee for my soul As the rain beats out a cry for help that no one hears I picture you in Texas a million miles from here And here comes the rain through the sleepy clouds To remind me you're not here As the blues give way tot he sound of grey On another cold saturday I know I can't just wash away the past now Oh I wish to God that you could hear my heart And on the other side of those clouds I know that sun it shines But I'm thinking about Texas I think about you all the time. And here comes the rain through the sleepy clouds To remind me you're not here As the blues give way to the sound of grey On another cold Saturday I will never catch a single drop of rain like you again Waters rise and I capsize In the wakes of loves demise Lightening only strikes you once But after it is gone You're just left soaking wet Waiting on the sun And here comes the rain through the sleepy clouds To remind me you're not here As the blues give way to the sound of grey On another cold Saturday

Mama, rock me gently I am on my way back home There's the Son and the light Oh mama I am so ready to go And mama rock me gently. Mama, rock me gently. Til the fear has left my weary eyes I am not the child I was no Mama I am so ready to go Mama rock me gently. And when I am asleep and you are in my dreams You can rock me rock me gently Mama I'm at peace. Mama, rock me gently With my head down upon your breast And the rhythm of your heartbeat Sings me on my way Mama rock me gently Mama, rock me gently I know it's so very hard to let go. But please let me slip softly Sing me on my way Mama, rock me gently

It was never meant to work out Soft satin sheets and flowers on the window sill I tried to pick up your pieces I tried to unload your gun I tried to fix your light switch and hold your hand My lovely cinnamon girl don't cry for me Cause I've lived too long in your sunshine And now I need the rain. My lovely cinnamon girl don't cry for me Cause now I've got your sunshine in my pocket And I am free. I will live my days with the shining piece of you Inside of me. I never meant to make it complicated I just wanted you to be complete I was only hoping that there was a hole Somewhere inside you for me. Cinnamon girl don't cry for me I've lived too long in your sunshine And now I need the rain My lovely cinnamon girl don't cry for me Cause now I've got your sunshine in my pocket And I am free. I will live my days with the shining piece of you Inside of me.

Long night, step inside Shaking off the cold take a good look around the room That's when I see you A stiff shot of fireworks and lightening Drinking gasoline Oh your smile it cuts through me And sets fire to the air I breathe in every move you make Shake awake the last pieces of my soul And I explode into A million stars over Texas tonight Shining bright enough to make the sun forget to rise And if forever could just be tonight I'd hold your breath inside me and I'd pray you'd be Strong enough to never let me go Southside, midnight Rolling on the floor making love and laughing all the way Like an earthquake To lighten up your face through the window of a brand new day As you sleep I see the sheets rise and fall As you breathe beneath this summer moon I only hope that morning don't come too soon Cause I love watching you under A million stars over Texas tonight Shining bright enough to make the sun forget to rise And if forever could just be tonight I'd hold your breath inside me and I'd pray you'd be Strong enough to never let me go I know a traveling man don't stand a chance at love From a woman whose heart he's left behind And the kindness in your eyes lay bleeding salty water rivers As I make my way down the interstate Not thinking of the mistake I just made. Sunrise across state lines Making my way up and down the California coast I grab a smoke to drive away the feeling that i really should be going home Oh little girl I wish I could be The dream that you'd believe in as you fall asleep and smile in to the lighted sky for me Cause I know there will be, A million stars over Texas tonight Shining bright enough to make the sun forget to rise And if forever could just hold on tight I'd hold my breath inside me and I'd pray that we Could be together one more time to see A million stars over Texas tonight Shining bright enough to make the sun forget to rise And if forever could just be tonight I'd hold your breath inside me and I'd pray you'd be Strong enough to never let me go

I was a young boy with a childhood heart Reaching up for security in your loving arms You were, short on affection but long on direction Of who I was supposed to be No matter the dream. And a roof four walls and a front door Don't make a house a home For a child whose eyes are as big as the sky But who never gets a chance to fly Because home is where the heart should never be broken And words aren't made of pain. Innocence is not a verdict. Where you learn to crawl long before you walk out Into the world. You were strength and grace and a painted face Like a circus train at full speed with no breaks Into a dead end We won't make time for conversation It's just the same old information Talk may be cheap But it still costs money And you won't have time to spend time If you can squeeze out one last dime From a stranger who knows more about you Than I ever could. Home is where the heart should never be broken And words aren't made of pain Innocence is not a verdict Where something so small, As a simple phone call can change it all. Now I'm a young man with a broken heart Tired of waiting around for your loving arms To pick up the phone, and say son I want you home. You will never understand just who I am I don't want to be your business man In a polyester three piece suit Driving around in my BMW You can steal candy from a child But these dreams I have are all alive and well I may be bruised, but I can promise you That I won't lay awake at night wondering where it all went wrong Cause I have found a place and family and friends that make feel at Home Where I will never break my heart Home Where I will never be hurt by words
