Didn't Wanna Go
03:55

You left me this evening You left me to roam Across the Irish Sea Where you wait for me To come home
As if we had one of those
Well I ain't got these feelings I ain't got these blues
When I've got you
When I've got you by my side Ain't no doubt in my mind
Oh oh
You didn't wanna go
Didn't wanna go
We almost had it alright
We almost had it all
But for a twist of fate
Left me lying awake in the night You're not here by my side
Well I ain't got these feelings
I ain't got these blues
When I've got you by my side There ain't no doubt in my mind
Oh oh oh oh oh
That you didn't wanna go Didn't wanna go
No, you didn't wanna go Didn't wanna go

Cradle to the Grave
03:36
|

|
What does it take
Just to keep on keeping on
I'm in my mind
Just trying not to drown
It's all the time
From the cradle to the grave But I can see the sky
And the shadows coming down
And it takes oh, oh, oh It takes over me
Oh, oh, oh it takes
It takes all you have
Feels like running out of time Down a crooked mile
And it's amber all the way Why change it now
At the eleventh hour
The stage is set
And we're standing in the light
And it takes oh, oh, oh
It takes over me
Oh, oh, oh, it takes over me oh
We've got what it takes
It just takes a while is all
From the darkest hour
To the breaking of the dawn
We may be poor
But we're rich in what we love
And we'll get by
We'll get by on just enough
And it takes oh, oh, oh It takes over me
Oh, oh, oh
It takes over me
Oh, oh, oh
It takes over me
It takes oh, oh, oh Over me

Call of the Road
03:41
|
|||
|
I felt my foot let off Whenever I thought of you Driving away doesn't always Feel like the right thing to do But I'm not ready
To set my roots in now
No I'm not ready
To settle down
I hear the call of the road and I'm going I'll call the road my home
And if you ever feel like roaming
I'll happily welcome you home
I stopped just to feel
The wind upon my face
Take in the rocky edges of this Foreign mountain range
I wanted to call you
But I know it's not fair
To be five hundred miles away And to tell you I care
I hear the call of the road and I'm going I'll call the road my home
And if you ever feel like roaming
I'll happily welcome you home
I saw a picture of you with a lover Your smiles so bright
I'm happy you found another Who fits into your life
I know New England is perfect
Oh at this time of year
But I'm headed westward from here
I hear the call of the road and I'm going I'll call the road my home
And if you ever feel like roaming
I'll happily welcome you home
I will happily welcome you home

Change
04:54
|

|
Slow down, can't you see I'm stalling
I'll walk at my own good pace
Slow down, wait for me my darling
Help me carry my mistakes
I guess you changed your mind
Must be running out of time
There's nothing I can say
We see things a different way
It feels kind of strange
Just to throw it all away
But I need change
Change
Change
I don't want these chains
You are a weight I carry with me
Post cards that I never send
Each line that I write feels empty
Tell me, will this ever end
I guess you changed my mind
Must be running out of time
There's nothing I can say
We see things a different way
It feels kind of strange
Just to throw it all away
But I need change
Change
Change
Change
Change
Change
Give me change
Change
Change
Somehow you became a stranger
Look how you're living in your head
Somehow put our love in danger
Now we dangle by a thread
There's nothing left to say
Just throw it all away
Yeah
Give me change
Change
Change
Give me change
Change
Change
Embrace the change
Change
Change
I don't want these chains

The Chase
04:27
|
|||
|
Will the rabbits stop looking for muscadine
Will the eagle be satisfied
Or will you never tire of
The chase until you die
The chase until you die
I saw you looking
Like fox on the prowl
Downtown ‘til dawn
You always were a night owl
Call your mother
She’s worried sick about you
It’s been a while
What should we do
It’s been a while
What are you gonna do
Will the rabbits stop looking for muscadine
Will the eagle be satisfied
Or will you never tire of
The chase until you die
The chase until you die
I saw you hiding
You weren’t just the Golden Girl
You were more than that
You were her whole damn world
And you felt the chase
And it caught up to you
It’s been a while
What should we do
It’s been a while
What are you gonna do
I saw you running
Like a mouse in a cage
You chose the wrong water
You turned the wrong page
They called your mother
She couldn’t handle the news
It’s been a while
What are you gonna do
Will the rabbits stop looking for muscadine
Will the eagle be satisfied
Or will you never tire of
The chase until you die
The chase until you die
Until you die
Come on home
Come on home
Come on home
Come on home

Get Close
04:09
|
|||
|
There's a certain kind of lonely
You can get in a crowd
I've tried to recreate it
When no one else is around
It feels different
It don't ache the same
As when I look into a crowded room
And I see your face
I wanna get close
I wanna run away
I'm afraid to hold on too tight
I wanna let go
Or I wanna stay
I wanna wait 'til the moment's right
Ah-um
There're all these seeds we planted
But I can't wait for spring
See the flowers blooming
And you'll think of me
I'll be gone
I never did straight rows
The wind picked up and I had to go
I wanna get close
I wanna run away
I'm afraid to hold on too tightly
I wanna let go
Or I wanna stay
I wanna wait 'til the moment's right
Ah-um
Certain kind of reckless
I get after two AM
Never seem to feel it
When the working day begins
If you're lucky
You'll see both sides of me
Head down hard working
Swimming naked in the sea
I wanna get close
I wanna run away
I'm afraid to hold on too tight
I wanna let go
Or I wanna stay
I wanna wait 'til the moment's right
I wanna wait 'til the moment's right
Let's go and run away tonight
Ah-um

Behind the Curtain
03:49
|
|||
|
Well it came to my attention
At the table in the kitchen
And it broke into pieces
On the bathroom floor
And the walls they are crumbling
The ground is rumbling
As I turn and head for the door
My blood is pumping
Your fists they are thumping
Like somebody's trapped inside
And I don't know for certain
If the face behind the curtain
Belongs to somebody I know
My heart skips like a stone
My heart skips like a stone
My heart skips like a stone
After the madness
You sat on the mattress
You asked me to leave you alone
Now I'm watching you undress
You pull off your fortress
And my heart skips like a stone
My heart skips like a stone
My heart skips like a stone
My heart skips like a stone

Try to Ask You
03:24
|

|
I met you at the crossroads
Standing there in line
I didn't want to leave you
So we took our time
Ah ah ah
I don't know if you feel it too
I will try to ask you
I feel the space between us
From across the room
The inches turn to miles
I want to see you soon
Ah ah ah
And I don't know if you feel it too
I will try to ask you
I miss you in the evenings
I hope you're doing fine
So meet me at the crossroads
And we can take our time
And I don't know if you feel it too
I will try to ask you
I will try to ask you
I will try to ask you

I boarded the ferry
I had no choice
When I close my eyes
I hear our voices rise
Singing The Leaving of Liverpool
Oh why
Of all the times we've had to say goodbye
Sweet summer's end
I can feel the autumn coming in
Everyone's been saying
It's going to be a long one
And I know we're no exception to the rule
Oh bitter-sweet now that summer's gone
I can feel the lonely coming on
If only you could come to me
Across the wild and crashing sea
Then maybe we could bend the rules
I boarded the ferry
I had no choice
When I close my eyes
I hear our voices rise
Singing The Leaving of Liverpool
Oh why
Of all the times we've had to say goodbye
I need a friend
Luckily she's waiting where my journey ends
With her arms wide open
I can come in broken
And I know she will take me in
Oh my sweet love
I am safely waiting here in Ireland
I cannot pretend to know what the future
Will be bringing in
I boarded the ferry
I had no choice
When I close my eyes
I hear our voices rise
Singing The Leaving of Liverpool
Oh why
Of all the times we've had to say
Something when we've parted ways
I can't wait to raise my voice with you again
And sing The Leaving of Liverpool
Oh why
For now I know we have to say goodbye
For now I know we have to say goodbye
For now

The Devil You Don't
03:27
|
|||
|
I never knew trust
Until I was betrayed
By you and your silver tongue
I didn't know I was sleeping
'Til it was too late
Oh the damage you've done
My idle hands you put to task
To dress you in gentleman's robes
I wrote your sins in the water
Your praises in brass
They say it's better the devil you know
I'm getting to know
The devil I didn't so
Now I know both
I'm getting to know
The devil I didn't so
Now I know both
To choose between you
And the deep blue sea
When the fire was all I had known
I hurtled headlong
Flaming into the deep
I know it's better the devil you don't
I'm getting to know
The devil I didn't so
Now I know both
I'm getting to know
The devil I didn't so
Now I know both
I'm getting to know
The devil I didn't so
Now I know both
I'm getting to know
The devil I didn't so
Now I know both
Getting to know
The devil I didn't so
Now I know both

What Holds The World Together

Rosie's voice is so pure and sweet, yet so rich and full of character. And when the three of them sing together (as on "Old Brock"), it's really magical. Their special music is certainly What Holds The World Together for me.
