Lyrics from Warmer Kind Of Blue All credits: Kathy Kallick (Red Shirt Publishing Co./BMI), except as noted. ============== Friend Of Mine I just received your letter, dear, sayin’ you think of me You wrote of how you think about the way things used to be Don’t expect me to know I should read between the lines You’ll have to say you’re sorry if you wanna be a friend of mine CHORUS: If you wanna be a friend of mine You may be embarrassed by the way that you behaved You may feel self-righteous after all the love you gave But if in your heart you know that I’m the best friend you could find You’d better just say you’re sorry if you wanna be a friend of mine You must have seen the way I’d feel, you never have been blind You can’t pretend you are the type to misread all the signs You can’t take back those things you said, you can’t go back in time But you can say you’re sorry if you wanna be a friend of mine ================== The Messenger You read about me in a book The miracles and the time it took You recognize me by the look I am The Messenger Others have tried to do this thing Peace and hope are the things I bring And the faithful recognize the king I am The Messenger I’ve got the answers for the troubled child Protector of the meek and mild My name has always been defiled I am The Messenger I’ve come to take away your fears You’ve been waiting so many years I talk to God and He always hears I am The Messenger CHORUS: I am The Messenger Cool water and the perfumed oil A humble servant of the righteous soil Evil sees me and it must recoil I am The Messenger The instrument and the holy rod My steps will lead you where the saints have trod I’m here to tell you the will of God I am The Messenger ==================== Hey, Hey, Hey Hey, hey, hey, your lover was a tough act to follow Hey, hey, hey, you’ve had too many months of sorrow There are times it seems like everyone else’s worry There are those who think you’ve been livin’ in a hurry Nobody knows how long you’ve been selfless and patientWell, well, well, you’re gonna have to take care of your self now So that you can take care of everybody else now Hey, hey, hey, your lover left pretty big shoes to fill Well, well, well, there are times when you lost the will Everyone around you thinks they know what would be best now You seem to be the last one to choose your destiny now Hey, hey, hey, well, well, wellto hell Anyone who knows you knows a part of you dies too You’ve earned the right to fall in love when you decide to Hey, hey, hey, it’s hard to find somebody who’s just right now Well, well, well, doesn’t have to be the love of your life now Probably not the love of your life now But it’s probably gonna save your life now ==================== A Warmer Kind Of Blue (Kathy Kallick, Red Shirt Publishing Co./BMI) The way the sky looks through the branches Delicate, the light just dances The pallet and the silhouettes Just as back-east as it gets I get tempted by the tapestry And all your over- sensitivity I just thought I’d drop a line to you And tell you I’ve been thinking these things through We’re never fixed in time ’Cause you pick up the thread I left behind There’s something about those bare brown trees So sweet it brought me to my knees Humbled by the memory And all your vulnerability As I spiral back in time The voice I hear is yours, the words are mine You just pick up on my point of view The light that shines on you is a different hue It’s cold and it’s wintery It’s cozy and crazy too A warmer kind of blue when I’m with you Some things are better left unsaid But the code of silence can leave you nearly dead So I will say these things to you ’Cause some of what I say keeps getting through You just pick up on my point of view The light that shines on you is a different hue It’s cold and it’s wintery It’s cozy and crazy too A warmer kind of blue when I’m with you A warmer kind of blue when I’m with you A warmer kind of blue when I’m with you ==================== Late Last Night The only sound was the crunching of my feet on a gravel road The silence was profound and deep as I walked alone There is someone I have not seen standing just outside my sight Finally came into my view late last night As I have walked all by myself with no guiding light There has been no helping hand to lead me through the night Just beside me someone watches in case I stumble and fall Late last night I felt the warmth and saw the light at the end of the wall Late last night CHORUS: I can always find a way,make the best of things on my own Each of us will choose a path, but we must walk it alone Each of us will hear a voice that calls us to our home I have tread a narrow line between the darkness and light All my doubts were swept away, swept away Late last night ================== This Last Request (Jacob Landers/BMI) The golden years have slipped upon us I can see the wrinkles in your face And each silver line tells a story Of the one true love that no one can replace The leaves were fallin’ in September Long shadows crept across the golden plain It was there we made our vows together And I’d do the same all o’er again CHORUS: Bury me in the garden, love, Our children all have grown and married Through the years I’ve loved you just the same I can see we’re nearing life’s crossroad So please just grant this one request CHORUS ================== Burn Down The House This life we’re living is on borrowed time A fortune built on one thin dime We’ve got a paper trail and a house of cards How can living easy be this hard? CHORUS: I’m gonna drive my car into the river I’m gonna put my feet in some rushing water I’m gonna travel light and live off the land Climb out the window with just a backpack And build a new life with my bare hands Burn down this house and all the stuff that’s in it I’m gonna change my name and drive away I could just be gone in a New York minute And never once look back at the mess I’ve made ================== That’s How I Can Count On You(Shorty Long & Bob Newman, Mamy Music/BMI) Like April can count on the showers Like grass can count on the dew Like March can count on the wind, wind, windy days That’s how I can count on you If the road looks long and endless With nothing but heartbreak in view I’ll smile all the while for I, I, I’ll Know that I can always count on you CHORUS: If fame and fortune should pass me by Like a baby can count on its mother At night when the day is all through Like lovers can count on the moon, moon, silver moon That’s how I can count on you Like a baby can count on its mother At night when the day is all through Like lovers can count on the moon, moon, silver moon That’s how I can count on you That’s how I can count on you ================== Just One Time (Don Gibson, Sony/ATV-Acuff Rose/BMI) Wish I could see you just one time Oh, how it’d ease my troubled mind If I could hold you just one time And then pretend that you’re still mine Lips that used to thrill me so They now thrill someone else I know Gone is the love that once was mine Wish I could see you just one time CHORUS: Oh, oh, oh, I miss you so Wish I could relive just one time Turn back the pages, there I’d find That same old love that once was mine If I could see you just one time Lips that used to thrill me so They now thrill someone else I know Gone is the love that once was mine Wish I could see you just one time ================== Honky Tonk Blues (Hank Williams, Sony/ATV-Acuff Rose/BMI) I left my home down on the rural route I told my Pa I’m goin’ steppin’ out CHORUS: And get the honky tonk blues I stopped into every place in town This city life has really got me down I went to a dance and I wore out my shoes Woke up this mornin’ wishin’ I could lose I’m gonna tuck my worries underneath my arm And scat right back to my Pappy’s farm ================== Still Your hand is still on my heart Your name on my lips Sometimes when we’re far apart I still taste your kiss Some tunes just stay on your mind Some things linger on I can’t get you out of my thoughts I keep singing that song Your voice still rings in my ears And still long for the sound Like some sweet taste on the tip of my tongue I keep trying to keep you around ================== God Gave Noah The Rainbow Sign (Trad., arr. Kathy Kallick, Red Shirt Publishing Co./BMI) God gave Noah the Rainbow Sign, don’t you see God gave Noah the Rainbow Sign, don’t you see God gave Noah the Rainbow Sign No more water but the fire next time Hide me oh Rock of Ages, cleft for me When this world’s all on fire, hide thou me When this world’s all on fire, hide thou me When this world’s all on fire You’re gonna pray for a power that’s higher Hide me oh Rock of Ages, cleft for me This old world’s gonna rock and roll on that day This old world’s gonna rock and roll on that day This old world’s gonna rock and roll Who’s gonna pray for my poor soul Hide me oh Rock of Ages, cleft for me ================== In The Middle Of My Town In the middle of my town There’s a river running down Running down into the sea Carrying love to you from me Like the tide, its ebb and flow And the moon, its wax and wane Like my darlin’, you should know My love is constant just the same Maybe someday I will fly Speeding swiftly through the sky To watch the tears fall from your eyes Kiss them away when you should cry Down in the middle of the earth Dwells the hottest kind of heat Like the center of my heart Beating hotter with each beat Like the shimmering white light Shining down from the sun Beating down on everyone To warm and love a lonely one Like a magic spell undone Set you free for just one night Like the shimmering white light Shining down on everyone What if heaven’s really real Angels talking all around us Think of the crazy way you feel Putting yourself in the middle of the field In the middle of my town There’s a river running down Running down into the sea Carrying love to you from me Maybe someday I will fly Speeding swiftly through the sky To watch the tears fall from your eyes Kiss them away when you should cry |
