"WALK BESIDE ME"

TIM O'BRIEN & DARRELL SCOTT

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__K9_7CNEvo

 

 Put one foot in front of the other
Steppin into the here and now
I'm not sure just where I'm goin
But I will get there anyhow

I got this far with no direction
Followed my nose to where I stand
My heart's still strong, I know I'll make it
Sit right down in the promised land

Sister come and walk beside me, until our pathways do divide
Nothin much but love to give you, even less have I to hide

When you left me in the spring time
So many questions in my mind
Summer came and left me waitin
Not one answer could I find

I see you in the Rocky Mountains
I feel you on the great North Sea
It's a lonesome road I have to travel
But you will always be with me

 

 Brother come and walk beside me, until our pathways do divide
Nothin much but love to give you, even less have I to hide

I hear laughter in the thunder
I feel comfort on the wind
I see hope in hopeless faces
Someday they will love again

People come and walk beside me, until our pathways do divide
Nothin much but love to give you, even less have I to hide

 

"FOOL FOR YOU"

THE IMPRESSIONS 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8kuQz-VVDs

 

Never liked nobody
That's been mean to me
I've got a heart full of stone
And I hate the misery
Then you came along
Into my life
Destroying my mind
Mounting up the toil and strife
But I'm a fool for you
I'm a fool for you
I'm a fool for you
I'm a fool for you
Guess I'll always be
And I claim it famously
'Cause I'm a fool for you
It's a doggone shame
Knowin' you don't love me
You go on and use me
So continuously
I don't know why
I love you like I do
When you're breaking my heart
And you know it's true
But I'm a fool for you
I'm a fool for you
I'm a fool for you
I'm a fool for you
Doggin' me every day
But child, I'm here to stay
'Cause I'm a fool for you

You don't want me to stay
But I'm a fool for you
Do me wrong now every day
Child, I'm a fool for you
Ah ha ha hoo
I'm a fool for you, ah ha ha hoo
Child, I'm a fool for you
Hoo hoo hoo hoo
I'm a fool for you, ah ha ha ha hoo

 

 "SILVER DAGGER"

FLEET FOXES

Don't sing love songs
You'll wake my mother
She's sleeping here, right by my side
And in her right hand, a silver dagger
She said, that I can't be your bride

All men are false, said my mother
They'll tell you wicked, lovin' lies
And the very next evening, they'll court another
Leave you alone to pine and sigh

My daddy, he's a handsome devil
He's got a chain five miles long
And on every link, a heart does dangle
Of another maid, he's loved and wronged

So court another tender maiden
And hope that she will be your wife
For I've been warned and I've decided
To sleep alone all of my life

Don't sing love songs
You'll wake my mother
She's sleeping here, right by my side
And in her right hand, a silver dagger
She says, that I can't be your bride

 "DON'T LET IT BRING YOU DOWN"
COWBOY JUNKIES

 Old man lying by the side of the road
With the lorries rolling by
Blue moon sinking from the weight of the load
As the buildings scrape the sky
Cold wind ripping down the alley at dawn
And the morning paper flies
Dead man lying by the side of the road
With the daylight in his eyes

Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning
Find someone who's turning
And you will come around

Blind man running through the light of the night
With an answer in his hand
Come on down to the river of sight
And you can really understand
Red lights flashing through the window in the rain
Can you hear the sirens moan?
White cane lying in a gutter in the lane
If you're walking home alone

Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning
Just find someone who's turning
And you will come around

Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning
Just find someone who's turning
And you will come around

Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning
Just find someone who's turning
And you will come around

 "THE WAY I FEEL"

COWBOY JUNKIES

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygdI2cpMoh0

 
The way I feel is like a robin
Whose babes have flown to come no more
A tall oak tree alone and cryin’
When her birds have flown and the nest is bare

Now a woman lord is like a young bird
And the tall oak tree is like a young man’s heart
Among his boughs you will find her nesting
When the nights are cool she’s warm and dry

Your coat of green will protect her
Her wings will grow your love will too
But all too soon your mighty branches
Will cease to hold her she’ll fly from you

If I’d wings to fly
I’d follow you
If you’d wait for me
I’d fly away
I’d fly away

 "THE OPEN DOOR"

DARRELL SCOTT

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhK1vBRBgQM

 Well, it's fare thee well, my true love
The song is in the air
I hear the West calling
See what's for me there

With the sun I'm leavin'
I'll be Montana bound
Ain't no use in grievin'
I'll show you what I've found

Yeah, some folks have it easy
At least that's how it seems
Reach up and pick an apple
Reach up and find a dream

Some travel in the darkness
And rest upon the shade
Some wrestle with their demons
And face them unafraid

We argue for our better selves
We only ask for more
We take the mirror from the shelf
And find the open door

I love you with a fever
I love you with a past
My heart is a keeper
As long as it will last

As long as it will last
I'll tell you what I know
We walk this road together
And we walk this road alone

 "WITH A MEMORY LIKE MINE"
DARRELL SCOTT

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

 

I can see that train a' comin'
Watch that big light shine this way
Hear that whistle softly blowin'
Lord, it's been an awful day.
I watched him leave that Friday mornin'
It was in the month of May
I told my son to be a good soldier
But return again someday
He was returned just one year later
But I'll not forget that day
A baggage car is where he travelled
In a casket where he lay
Train man, keep your whistle blowin'
Make it moan and make it whine
It can make a man feel mighty lonesome
With a memory like mine
In that little country graveyard
On a dark and dreary day
They placed a flag upon the casket
And the casket in the grave
I couldn't stand it any longer
And I knew not how to pray
I cried "Oh lord, I cannot leave him
All alone beneath that clay"
Train man, keep your whistle blowin'
Make it moan and make it whine
You can make a man feel mighty lonesome
With a memory like mine (Just like mine)
I can see him as a baby
I can hear him call my name
I can feel him under fire
And see him risin' from the flames
Lord, if I could I would trade places
I would gladly give my all
I'd wrap that flag round me like a blanket
And listen for the clouds to fall
Train man, keep your whistle blowin'
Make it moan and make it whine
You can make a man feel mighty lonesome
With a memory like mine
Train man, keep your whistle blowin'
Make it moan and make it whine
You can make a man feel mighty lonesome
With a memory like mine
