Banjo String 02:50
You can play me like a fiddle Pluck me like a banjo string Tell me like a riddle Wear me like a ring You can cross me like a desert Right me like a wrong Catch me like a shiver Or sing me like a song And when another day is over Shut me like a light I won't be a rover I'll stay home at night You can spend me like an hour Sow me like a radish seed You can plant me like a flower Or pull me like a weed You can paint me like a picture Or weave me like a rug You can learn me like a lecture Or salt me like a slug You can pick me like a berry Or play me like a child's game You can dust me like a faerie And say me like a name Want you to warm me like a fire On an Autumn night Kiss me like a lover And keep me burning bright You can play me like a fiddle Pluck me like a banjo string You can tell me like a riddle Just wear me like a ring

Known you for most of my life Liked you since I was a child And you smiled, and you smiled Honey, you were an angel back then Still, you're an angel right now A flower, a flower And I shouldn't have let you out Out of my sight And I don't want to let you go Without a fight I might wanna leave tonight woah, woah, woah yeah, yeah, yeah We became very good friends And I let my love lie deep down It didn't make a sound It didn't make a sound And we moved around this big world But you called me when you were in town I wondered why you hung around Why you hung around And in the morning's soft light Don't tell, don't tell me goodbye I started to cry But I won't tell, won't tell you why Might as well been my first kiss Cause honey I've never felt one so sweet Hearts meet, hearts meet I felt oceans of love crashing down Onto a soft, sandy shore And I want more I want more And in the morning's soft light Don't tell, don't tell me goodbye I started to cry But I won't tell, won't tell you why And I shouldn't have let you out Out of my sight And I don't want to let you go Without a fight I might wanna leave tonight I might wanna leave tonight I might wanna leave tonight I might wanna leave tonight woah, woah, woah yeah, yeah, yeah,

Honey, I've loved you from the first time that I saw you Where has it gone to, that old light? Where is my baby? I don't hear from him lately He didn't come to say goodbye I miss your kitchen and feedin' your kittens And puttin' on records at night You were my home then, and now I'm just floatin' For the moment, and makin' it through time Well, it all changed so fast, now I'm lookin' to the past Tryna make some sense of it so I can get over it You weren't the sun, but you were my dearest one A gentle rain at your window had me linger in the morn' And, yeah, I remember all the time that I spent hurtin' And it got so bitter as love died But I want to remember why we were together I just want my baby in my mind

Red Flowers 03:16
Red flowers On a green leaf bed In a golden meadow With a blue sky overhead The stars sparkle at the day As the night's fallin' On our little meadow And the crickets start talkin' About the weather... I've loved you For a long, long time I don't know what to do More to try to make you mine You know it's a lonely night And a blazing day And I'm missin' the scent Of an evening in the hay I'm missin' the.. Red flowers On a green leaf bed In a golden meadow With a blue sky overhead The stars sparkle at the day As the night's fallin' On our little meadow And the crickets start talkin' About the weather...

Painter 03:25
La la la la la la la la I'm a painter and I paint with a brush Do you think I've painted too much? Should I take some of the paint away? Would it make it better? Nothing takes the paint away But I can add a new color or texture or shape I don't let paint go to waste Make it something better la la la la la la la la

Darlin' 02:54
Once you were my dream, then you came to life Made my knees go weak when we met one night Then I heard you speak and it felt just right You called me "Little Darlin'" I love your angel voice when it sings to me And your beautiful face is so nice to see Yet, the sweetest thing in this world to me Is when you call me "Darlin'" In a crowded room, you are the only one That I can even begin to focus on So whisper in my ear, my dear, it's all I want To hear "Little Darlin'" Now, I can mend the holes in your favorite shirt I can kiss away all your pain and hurt And I'll give you my love, baby, in return Please just call me "Darlin'" Cause you know I'm fallin' When you call me "Darlin'" When you call me "Darlin'"

I Could Cry 03:58
Maryland Drivin' through Pennsylania To me looks like a fairyland So pretty I could paint ya So pretty I could I could cry So pretty I could I could cry Delaware Gets so quiet when I'm alone Dreams and wishes stuck in my hair Send them up as the sky turns gold So pretty I could I could cry So pretty I could I could cry Honeybee Flyin' flower to flower I wish you were right here with me 'Stead of gone every hour So lonely I could I could cry So lonely I could I could cry 'Merica Makes me want to drive by and by I don't want to live anywhere I just want to drive So pretty I could cry So pretty I could cry So pretty I could die So lonely I could drive

Holy love That's sent down to me from Heaven above That's floated from me on a snow white dove To you just because. The King honors the Queen so she knows he's the one I feel safe Tellin' my secrets to you in this space I know you'll keep 'em, too. You give me faith I needed a taste My cup runneth over, your love satiates Ascension sensual Ascension sensual I respect him I connect him I reflect him I'm sensual Sweet and sour I wanna gather you some wildflowers You know you have a lot of magic powers A falling star shower What we give each other is what isn't ours Grandkids We say we want a bunch of grandkids Plannin' our gardens out and where we'll live You gotta forgive You know that I've loved you since I was a kid Ascension sensual Ascension sensual I respect him I connect him I reflect him I'm sensual

Hey, it's my birthday, I just woke up Ain't got no money to spend and no friends to talk to It doesn't matter, I'll take a walk And see the sun bounce off the rock Hey, it's my birthday, I'm rollin' up Ain't got no party to throw, there's air in my cup I don't care, I'm my own crew, deep in the cut Under the stars, I'm lookin' up They say it's your birthday Remember the first day You came down to earth, babe? When you fell, did it hurt, bae? Even if you're homeless Even if you're broke, bitch We got to the same place Big rock rollin' through space Today is your birthday Hey it's my birthday, I just woke up Ain't got no money to spend and no friends to talk to It doesn't matter, I'll take a walk And see the sun bounce off the rock

Heartache on heartache, my heart aches How long does a broken heart take? When can I start to feel right, babe? After takin' everything away I lost the diamond of the lake Wasn't a diamond, it was fake But I took it home Man, did my heart start to break How many heartaches can one take? Heartache on heartache, my heart aches How long does a broken heart take? When do I start to feel better? I'll wait, I'll wait Patch it, trim it, treat it sweetly Hold it in your arms Fill it, shape it, pack it neatly Keep it safe from harm Trace it, cut it, place it better Swim it in the creek Help it, hug it, give it sweaters Teach it how to speak Heartache on heartache, my heart aches How long does a broken heart take? When can I start to feel better? Hurry, hurry before the weather changes again...

Lifetime 03:34
Honey, I have Honey, I have loved you for a long time And I've wanted And I've wanted to kiss you for a lifetime Well, your voice sounds To me like Autumn rollin' in On the back roads Drivin' home from one of your gigs Little moments Through the years stacked up in my head If you loved me I would die, I can't fathom it Honey, I have Honey, I have loved you for a long time And I've wanted And I've wanted to kiss you for a lifetime If I just pray Hard enough to the Harvest Moon Would you throw a Ladder up to my bedroom Honey, I have Honey, I have loved you for a long time And I've wanted And I've wanted to kiss you for a lifetime

I'm not gonna ask you again for your love, dear I would never last if I stayed at your door I'll just let it pass, try and clean out my head, here And get back to the things I knew before I'll not cling to you like a vine on an oak tree I'll roll off like dew when the morning has come If you come around, well my arms'll be open 'Til then I'll just sing my song I'm not gonna ask you again for your love, dear I would never last if I stayed at your door So I'll just let it pass, try and clean out my head, here And get back to the things I knew before
