My my you treat me so fine
My my you treat me so fine
Slam the back door, past the apricot tree and out to the old barn
My my you treat me so kind
My my you treat me so kind
On the back of your motorbike down the dirt roads like candy in the old barn
Rollin in the hay all day it's how we play in the old barn
Don't be a mama's boy it's ok if you're dinner is cold or late, boy you know it can wait, so don't be a big ol' baby cuz you know we got a hot date
Why why you makin' me cry
Why why you makin' me cry
Leave me to soon in the old barn now I got a sliver in my behind
Bye bye I gotta fly home
Bye bye I gotta fly home
Meet you back here in a year you better be here in the old barn
Don't be a mama's boy it's ok if your dinner is cold or late, boy you know it can wait, so don't be a big ol' baby cuz you know we gotta hot date
Don't be a mama's boy it's ok if your dinner is cold or late boy you know it can wait so just shush your mouth, sit right here, there's nothing to fear

I'll write you old fashioned love letters
I'll spray my perfume on the pages
I hope that someday, you will follow my gypsy soul, come and love my face as it ages.
There's a little town in Northern Washington , it's the place that I'd go
If I ran away. I'd be the girl sitting out on that old dock. And I know that you'd find me, cuz the people in that town talk.
I'll write you old fashioned love letters
I'll spray my perfume on the pages
I hope that someday, you will follow my gypsy soul, come and love my face as it ages.
There's a wild raspberry bush down by Crescent Lane. I remember how you love my homemade pie. And I remember when we first met I liked you way too much.
I couldn't even look you in the eye.
The ties that bind me are no longer in the way, I'm gonna find my way to you.
I read your old fashioned love letters
I smelled your perfume on the pages
You know that I am gonna follow your gypsy soul, I will love your face as it ages.

Ride The Storm

My hands are looking so old
My body feels like tired bones
I used to run through apple trees
I used to fall on young skinned knees
Sometimes you have to ride the storm
Sometimes you have to keep each other strong, just wait there for the rain to pass,
those grey clouds, they never last
Smile wrinkles around my eyes
Looking back to a simple time
Where summer seemed so long and free and you were made for only me
My love for you is so old
Time has made us so bold
The wind blows us to North shores and god will open new doors

Never Gonna Love You

You can tie a leash around his neck
You can lead him, you can make him beg
You can make him sit, and make him play dead, but he's never gonna love you
You can never let him out of your site
But come on girl, you know that just ain't right, you can cook for him and make his bed, but he's never gonna love you
Never gonna love you till you let him go
You're holding on too tight
Girl, you're gonna lose this fight
Cuz you know I've seen it all before
Girl, you're gonna lose this fight
Cuz you know, I've done it all before
You can beat him down, like an old dog in the backyard, you can try so hard but he's never, he's never gonna love you

Bohannon and The Swede

He's been looking for redemption
Too many sins at night to count
All those faces from his broken past
Come to his sleep at night to haunt
He's been looking for the promised land
He's been looking high and low
He's been looking for the promised land
He got no other place to go
She's been putting on her fancy dress
And that fake smile for all the boys
She hold her head up high
She cry her eyes so dry
She'll only sell her soul to him
She's been looking for the promised land
She's been looking high and low
She's been looking for the promised land
She got no other place to go
Candlelight, dark of night
Clothes fall down to the ground
Warm chills, soft skin
Underneath his hands so rough
He touches her face
She gives him everything
He kisses her lips
Forbidden by the law of the land
They meet each other in the dark of night
A secret that they'll never speak
They give each other
Love to fill the days
And hope to get them through the night
They've been looking for the promised land, they've been looking high and low
They've been looking for the promised land, they got no other place to go
~~~~~~~
He stalks on the brick in the thick of the night, the city is sleeping unaware of his bite, a young brunette tempting, he cannot resist, a nip on the neck, a bite to the wrist
He sees the young lovers swooning away,
she in her fancy dress, he's all in grey
they look very happy, and this makes him pause, but that passes quickly and it gives him great cause
They see him approaching, Bohannon tips his hat, Lilly curtsies politely and holds out her hand, he kisses it sweetly then pulls her in close, a peck on the cheek, then he slits her throat
Bohannon starts screaming and running away, Poor Lilly is sinking down into the bay, The Swede is upon him and pounces like that. A fun little game, a rat to his cat "meow"
The promised land, the promised land
They finally made it to the promised land
The promised land, the promised land
Bohannon and Lilly in the promised land
The promised land, the promised land
Lyin in their graves in the promised land
The promised land, the promised land
The Swede led them to the promised land.

Strong Girl

I'm closing the door on everything that goes down around me
I'm turning my back, not gonna be looking at you anymore
And it's a long, long climb back to the top of my world
It's a long, long ride, so just give me something so I can hold on
I'm building a house, a house out of strength that they can't break down
They are gonna find out, just what I'm made of, just who I am
And it's a long, long climb back to the top, of my world, it's a long, long ride, just give me something so I can hold on
I'm a strong girl in a cruel world and I got a good man here by my side
I was sinking in sand until you came along and you gave me your hand, now I'm climbing the mountains, I'm breathing the air that makes me feel clean
He always knew what I was made of
He always knew what I could do
He never left when I was screaming and crying
He gave me strength and he gave me truth

Sargasso Sea

Don't know what it is
You keep me coming back for more
There's something in your eyes
Something in your early morning smile
Don't know how to stop loving you
I can't seem to break these ties
You've held me down now
For more than 20 years
We don't see eye to eye anymore
I'm losing all my empathy
We don't speak the truth anymore
I'm drowning in the depths of your Sargasso Sea
Why do you bring me down
Into all your dark and lonely nights
I can't keep on but I keep on loving you
I keep on loving you
You are the storm that covers my sun
I just can't seem to breathe when we're together, you are the sea, I'm gasping for air, I just can't seem to breathe when we're apart
I don't know why it is
I always wear my heart out on my sleeve
You wear an armour made of steel
I just can't break it down

When I'm Dead

I'm gonna kick off my shoes and pull up my dress, gonna walk into the river where you know I must confess, and my grandpa will be there and he'll say "girl you done good, cuz you're doing all the things that you thought you never could"
Now I'm free to speak my mind
And I'm free to take my time
I gotta get up and outta this bed
Cuz there'll be time for sleepin' when I'm dead
Well let's hop in my old truck you know it's runnin' just fine, and we're gonna grab some lunch and head out cross that old state line, so sit your butt right here and we'll have ourselves a beer and if we don't feel like stayin' then we'll get on outta here
You can talk, talk, talk, talk, talk , about me, that's ok, that's ok, that's ok cuz I'm free

I can feel his hands, they pull me up the mountain
I can feel his breath, it blows me to the sea
I can feel his eyes they see me through this valley
I hear his voice, it's engraved in me
I can feel his arms they wrap around my body
I can feel his breath, it's life into my bones
I can hear his voice, he reassures me gently
And his words are engraved in me
I'm falling to my knees
Now I can clearly see
I'm dying to this world
For this life he gave
Through his death and grace
I see his face
