Finally
I find love and contentment
I can look at those around me now without resentment
Finally
I can see deep in your face
The love and tenderness and there's no disgrace
Disgrace, disgrace, disgrace, disgrace, disgrace disgrace...
Finally

Finally
I can walk down the road
I can stare into the sun
I can hold my own
Finally finally
I crawl out of the gutter
And I pull up my bootstraps and I pull up the other
Finally finally
There is no expectation
The train I am waiting for is at the station
Finally
I walk down for the queen of the night
And it's cold and the steam sparkles in the light
The light
The light
Finally

Finally
All those wasted days
Become so important like the sun through the haze
Finally finally
They lay you in the ground
Where you will see no colors you will hear no sound
Finally
You walk back from the other side
There's love and forgiveness and there'll be no pride
No pride
No pride
Finally
Finally

 "COME HERE"

There's wind that blows in from the north
And it says that loving takes this course
Come here
Come here

No I'm not impossible to touch
I have never wanted you so much
Come here
Come here

Have I never laid down by your side
Baby, let's forget about this pride
Come here
Come here

Well I'm in no hurry
You don't have to run away this time
I know you're timid
But it's gonna be all right this time

There's wind that blows in from the north
And it says that loving takes this course
Come here
Come here

Please, hey, hey
Hey, hey

You're falling down like heavy stone
Through the muddy waters that you know
Dropped in another day
Never saying what you ought to say
Oh, and now your lies are coming

Anyway, let 'em know
Let them how you don't want to love 'em
Anyway, let 'em know
Let them how you don't want to love 'em

You're dragging on like wintertime
Rolling through the rubble on your mind
Back in your knowing place
With a weapon you don't want to waste, but hey
Now you're on the ground and running

Anyway, let 'em know
Let them how you don't want to love 'em
Anyway, let 'em know
Let them how you don't want to love 'em

Oh, no, you're not whole when you're so unaligned
Can't you see we all know you got free?
So can you tell it honestly?

Anyway, let 'em know
Let them how you don't want to love 'em
Anyway, let 'em know
Let them how you don't want to love 'em
Anyway, let 'em know
Let them how you don't want to love 'em
Anyway, let 'em know
Let them how you don't want to love 'em

 

 "THE ROAD AHEAD IS GOLDEN"

JON AND ROY

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ox2OKO5EZ5Y

 

I’m going to rise 

Beyond this mind going tonight.

Oh, no you won’t mind

Cuz I know you’ll keep running fine.

In this garden green you were sown

Here in my days you’ve been grown

And I know you like to come and go but I don’t

I’m taking this loving wide way home.

And you say you ain’t ready for me, 

Afraid of the thought of being free.

But when I’m home nothing’s wrong, 

‘Though I need something gone, 

I want to lead but I hold on.

So you want to keep me rolling, 

Say the path ahead is golden

And what is best for me you know, 

But all I know is I love you so.

 

 

 "BETTER LIFE"

JON AND ROY

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9awI7UGFH5A

 I'm heading for the other side
Where the light is always right
Where we don't have all these heavy plights
And the loving overrides
And tho' I'm told this time will never come
I want it anyhow
I'm going towards the better life
And I'm ready for it now.

 Pent up like water in a dam
Angry like heavy metal songs
Messed up like all this news of guns
That like to get drawn

Seeing the problems here at hand
Caught up with useless news and posts
Helpless and feeling like a ghost
Wearing nice clothes

In these modern times
where we're disconnected from
Ourselves and this land
And we're always on the run
Can we turn about and notice what we are?
Living beings in the stars

"SAY HELLO, WAVE GOODBYE"

DAVID GRAY 

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSXQWj0HEBE

 

Standin' in the door of the Pink Flamingo cryin' in the rain
It was a kind of so-so love
And I'm gonna make sure it doesn't happen again
You and I had to be the standing joke of the year
You were a run-around, a lost and found and not for me, I feel

Take your hands off me, hey
I don't belong to you, you see
And take a look in my face for the last time
I never knew you, you never knew me
Say hello goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye

We tried to make it work
You in a cocktail skirt and me in a suit but it just wasn't me
You're used to wearing less
And now your life's a mess, so insecure you see
Well I put up with all the scenes
And this is one scene that's going to be played my way

Take your hands off me, hey
I don't belong to you, you see
And take a look in my face, for the last time
I never knew you, you never knew me
Say hello, goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye

Under the deep red light I can see the make up slidin' down
Well hey little girl you will always make up
So take off that unbecoming frown
As for me, well I'll find someone who's not goin' cheap in the sales
A nice little housewife
Who'll give me a steady life and not keep going off the rails

Take your hands off me, hey
I don't belong to you, you see
And take a look in my face, for the last time
I never knew you, you never knew me
Say hello, goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye

Say hello and wave goodbye
Say hello and wave goodbye
Wave goodbye

Say hello and wave goodbye
Say hello, wave goodbye
Goodbye

Say goodbye
Say goodbye

We were born before the waves
Who are we to understand?
We were born before the waves
Say goodbye

Through the rain, hail, sleet and snow
Say goodbye
Get on the train, train, train
And say goodbye

Say goodbye
Say goodbye
Say goodbye

In the wind and the rain now, darling
Say goodbye
In the wind and the rain now, darling

 

 "SAIL AWAY"

DAVID GRAY

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oyBnvibWEY

 

Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I want to hold you now, now, now

Crazy skies all wild above me now
Winter howling at my face
And everything I held so dear
Disappeared without a trace
Oh all the times I've tasted love
Never knew quite what I had
Little darling if you hear me now
Never needed you so bad
Spinning 'round inside my head

Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I want to hold you now, now, now

I've been talking drunken gibberish
Falling in and out of bars
Trying to get some explanation here
For the way some people are
How did it ever come so far?

Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I want to hold you now, now, now
Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I want to hold you now, now, now

Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
It'd break me up if you pulled me down, whoa
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I want to hold you now, now, now

 "THIS YEAR'S LOVE"

DAVID GRAY

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zN4_7hq77g

 

This year's love had better last
Heaven knows it's high time
I've been waiting on my own too long
And when ya hold me like you do
It feels so right oh now
I start to forget how my heart gets torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Feeling like you can't go on

Turning circles and time again
Cut like a knife oh now
If ya love me got to know for sure
'Cause it takes something more this time
Than sweet, sweet lies oh now
Before I open up my arms and fall
Losing all control
Every dream inside my soul
When ya kiss me on that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singing, "ain't this life so sweet?"

This year's love had better last

This year's love had better last

'Cause who's to worry if our hearts get torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Don't ya know this life goes on?
Won't ya kiss me on that midnight street?
Sweep me off my feet
Singing, "ain't this life so sweet?"

This year's love had better last
This year's love had better last
This year's love had better last
This year's love had better last
This year's love had better last
Woah woah woah I yeah
This year's love had better last

 "GULLWING DOORS"

FRUIT BATS

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0FdYto6uKg

 

Yonder comes an Aerostar
On a road you know not very well
Yet feels oddly familiar

On some stretch past Fresno
A book on tape on the stereo
With an opening line
That's making you cry
It's okay to do that sometimes

Open up like gullwing doors
Gullwing doors
Open up like gullwing doors
Gullwing doors

Saint Alice sunset
A person I never got to know too well
And that's something that I do regret

Redwing blackbirds in a ditch in the dark
Nobody really knows what's really in anyone's heart
And anyone's heart can open up
Open up

Open up like gullwing doors
Gullwing doors
Open up like gullwing doors
Gullwing doors

Some find God and all love
Some long for the days of smoking in the car in winter
With all the windows up
Some find themselves all the way out west
A pretty good day in the prettiest
Place in the world
Your place in the world
Your place in the world

Open up like gullwing doors
Gullwing doors
Open up like gullwing doors
Gullwing doors
Open up like gullwing doors
Gullwing doors
Open up like gullwing doors
Gullwing doors
Open up like gullwing doors
Gullwing doors

 "ROADSIDE LILY"

HEATHER MALONEY & DARLINGSIDE

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIAGBlQvIUw

 

I'm a roadside lily
Swaying in the wake of and eighteen wheeler
I'm delicate and pointless
Nobody planted me
Where I'm standing
Roadside lily

And the highway stretches on
On and on and on
And I'll never know where it goes

Don't cry lily
That's what he would say
Every other day, every other weekend
I was just a kid and daddyless
Why did he go away?
Was I not the lovliest roadside lilly?

And the highway stretches on
On and on and on
And I'll never know where it goes
Nobody comes, nobody goes
Nobody comes, nobody goes
Nobody goes

I'm a roadside lily
Some people would say a loner and a stray
Not fit for a bouqet
But your a roadside raven
Trucks are rushing by and you dont bat an eye
You dont flinch and you dont fly
Theres a bigger love than I've dreamed of
Here in my forsaken heart
I recognize it in your eyes
It's with me when were apart

And the highway stretches on
On and on and on
And the highway stretches on
On and on and on
And I'll never know where it goes

 "WOODSTOCK" (JONI MITCHELL)

HEATHER MALONEY & DARLINGSIDE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyotn-3qycM

 

I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
When I asked him, where are you going?
This he told me
I'm going down to Yasgur's farm
Think I'll join a rock and roll band
I'll camp out on the land
I'll try and set my soul free

We are stardust, we are golden
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden

Then can I walk beside you
I have come here to lose the smog
And I feel just like a cog
In something turning
Well, maybe it's the time of year
Or maybe it's the time of man
And I don't know who I am
But life's for learning

We are stardust, we are golden
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden

By the time I got to Woodstock
They were half a million strong
Everywhere there were songs
And celebration
And I dreamed I saw the bombers
Riding shotgun in the sky
Turning into butterflies
Above our nation

We are stardust, we are golden
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden

We are stardust, we are golden
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden

We are stardust, we are golden
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden

"NO SHORTCUTS"

HEATHER MALONEY & DARLINGSIDE 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DttFNpC1EA

 

We were driding in the country woods
And we didn't know why we were there.
Well, maybe we were runnin' from the big city
Or maybe we were runnin' to the mountain air.
And then we came upon a cabin of a diner
And oh,
How they did stare.
I said "Hry...
We're feelin' kinds weary
We been drivin' all day
And we need a place to stay."
And they said
"Baby there ain't no shortcuts on your way.
Baby there ain't no highways in these parts.
You know baby gonna have to drive yourself down
Every little windy road
If you really want to et where you're goin'.
Well I was sitting on the therapist couch
And I didn't why I was there.
Well, maybe I was runnin' from the big issues
Or maybe I was runnin'to a listenin' ear.
And then I came upon a maze of emotion
And oh,
How I did fear.
I said "Hey...
What's the quickest way out of this mess to that happiness?"
Said "Hey...
I'm feelin' kinda weary,
I been cryin' all day
And I need a little break."
And they said
"Baby there ain't no shortcuts on your way.
Baby there ain't no highways in these parts.
You know, baby gonna have to drive yourself down
Every little windy road
If you really want to get where you're goin'."
Well, I was sittin' in the meditation hall
And I didn't kow why I was there.
Well, maybe I was runnin' from the noise outside
Or maybe I was runnin' to the stillness there.
And then I came upon greed, hatred and delusion
And oh, how I did fear.
I said "Hey...
What's the quickest way to freedom and love,
How do I rise above?"
Said "Hey...
I'm feelin' kinda weary,
I've been sittin' all day
With my mind in dissaray."
And they said
"Baby there ain't no shortcuts on your way.
Baby there ain't no highways in these parts.
You know, baby gonna have to drive yourself down
Every little windy road
If you really want to get where you're goin'."
If you really want to get where you're goin.
If you really want to get where you're goin.

 

 "WHIPPOORWILL"

HEATHER MALONEY & DARLINGSIDE 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-Bu46TMjB8

 We call that old cabin the Whippoorwill
Drawing up plans from wicker thrones
All of the best ideas they come from you
You let me find them on my own
And we parade them into every room
And when you leave I let them go

All my kingdom for a weekend
All our kingdoms slip away

Another draft in your apartment
Catch the smell of rust and pine
Mixing in winter coffee cansiters
Gin up a spell that stalls for time

All my kingdom for a weekend
All our kingdoms slip away

All of your favorite time it comes from me
So you put it on your calender
Try to save it in your phone

All my kingdom for a weekend
All our kingdom slip away

 "BEST OF THE BEST TIMES"

DARLINGSIDE

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cI6Le6Rs5gA

 

When the world speaks
It rattles through me like an antique
Or maybe it rings like an old bell
Wishing us some kinda farewell
A wave in the window, a beacon
The batten down
End of the season
Lullaby blue

It is two doves
Trying to eat off of summer
And chewing their words

Were a long way, long way
From the best of the best of times

There's a broken cocktail round in the ocean
Holding me under the table
Tethering me down like a cradle
Drowning me out
With an amen
They're all in hand
And in all legs isle and
Everything's fine

Were a long way, long way
From the best of the best of times
A long way, long way
From the best of the best of times

And I wonder
Whether our days are numbered
If one is the same an another
Wether we mistook the colours
For the real thing

If we'll ring out
Brimming and broken and somehow
Truer than blue
And then come to
Hold from the wreck
In the day break
All equal and safe

Were a long way, long way
From the best of the best of times

"THE GOD OF LOSS"

DARLINGSIDE 

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28KduHrvCxM

 My father was a carpenter
My mother, she died young
I'm the eldest of my brothers
You're the trouble in my blood
Trouble in my blood

I swore that I'd stay humble
Like my father was before
He built the home I live in
Of sand and mud and smoke
Sand and mud and smoke

Yes, we will leave here without a trace
Take a new name and an old shape
I'll be no outlaw, no renegade
Just your faithful God of loss

So meet me by the river
On a boat-shaped piece of earth
We press our bones together
And the spider does its work
With flakes of garlic
And petals from a rose
If it's small enough to carry
You and I can call it home
You and I can call it home

Yes, we will leave here without a trace
Take a new name and an old shape
I'll be no outlaw, no renegade
Just your faithful God of loss

"WHITE BIRD"

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY 

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Cin0QzuEss

White bird
In a golden cage
On a winter's day
In the rain

White bird
In a golden cage
Alone

The leaves blow
Across the long, black road
To the darkened skies
In it's rage

But the white bird
Just sits in her cage
Unknown

White bird must fly
Or she will die

White bird
Dreams of the aspen trees
With their dying leaves
Turning gold

But the white bird
Just sits in her cage
Growing old

White bird must fly
Or she will die
White bird must fly
Or she will die

The sunsets come
The sunsets go
The clouds roll by
And the earth turns old
And the young bird's eyes
Do always glow

She must fly
She must fly
She must fly

White bird
In a golden cage
On a winter's day
In the rain

White bird
In a golden cage
Alone

White bird must fly
Or she will die
White bird must fly
Or she will die
White bird must fly
Or she will die

 "YOU AIN'T CALLIN' THE SHOTS"

MICAH P. HINSON

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fp-f2nWI_Y

 

You ain't calling the shots anymore, 'cause I don't care anymore,
For you anymore, or me.
Wasted, lying, tired of trying and I can't seem to see a thing worth my life anymore,
My soul's left the floor and he's left it all to me.
And your gods don't know when, your gods don't know when,
But I hope they keep your dirty little tricks from
And there are things that I cannot say, 'cause He/ she (?) don't care anymore,
The bones hit the floor and you've run away.
Wasted, lying, tired of trying and I can't seem to see a thing worth my life anymore,
My soul's left the floor and I guess he left it all to me.
And your gods don't know when, your gods don't know when,
But I hope they keep your dirty little tricks from me.
