Gentle of Heart. connie kaldor @word of mouth music SOCAN Woe betide those whose luck is lousy They may never love someone who loves them back And woe betide those who aren't a little greedy 'Cause the world loves the ones on the money track Woe betide those who don't look the same As the ones who make the rules in the power game Some will work their lives just to get above trouble Some are born on second base and think they've hit a double Chorus This is not a world for the gentle of heart I see so many buck the trend and they fall apart And they go too soon The gentle of heart Woe betide those who are dealt some bitter blow In a world with so little room for reeling You better keep on walkin' you better keep movin' on up Don't be caught down for the count don't be caught kneeling You better reach out you better steady yourself You better find a port in another's heart Cause woe betide those who are goin' it alone They must conquer it all just to start Chorus But who will pick up the world When the rest have taken it On their one way ride Who are the letters in the mail The voices on the corner Who holds up against that blackening tide The gentle of heart And this is not a world for the gentle of heart I see so many buck the trend and they fall apart And they shut them up and they put them down and they lock them up And they shoot them down And they go too soon The gentle of heart

LOVE LETTERS 03:19
lyrics
buy track
Loveletters I got your letter in the mailbox this morning, Read it immediately I savour every word that you write, In your letter to me I like the parts that make me blush Oh you devil you And where you write sentimental stuff As only you can do Chorus But where you write me that you miss me, I read that part, over and over and, Where you write me that you love me, I read that part over and over and over and over again . I read your letters over cappucino Just as if you were here And it's embarrasing but I'll imagine You're whispering in my ear I like the parts that you write in French And I'm not quite sure what you say And the parts where you describe me In all sorts of flattering ways Chorus All day long I'm out in traffic I've got meetings I've got things I've got to do But if I get even a moment to myself I slip a look at that letter from you Where you write me that you miss me I read that part over and over and Where you write me that you love me I read that part over and over and over and over and Over and over again

RAGE INSIDE 04:29
lyrics

Rage Inside Oh she got a rage inside Her torn heart is like some cornered dog Oh she got a rage inside And it rolls across her eyes like New England fog Oh, she got a rage inside And she line up all the hurts like some catalogue Chorus Tears are there for drowning sorrow Wrap your arms around the part that's numb Hurt doesn't owns you it just borrows No use to fight it when it comes Oh she got a rage inside Look out she's gonna make somebody pay Oh she's got a rage inside Heaven only knows where it comes from and the devil won't say How far back does it go She treats that rage like some long lost friend What kind of love will she know And will it ever end Chorus But oh she's got a rage inside

IF YOU LEAVE ME NOW 05:09
lyrics

If You'd Leave Me Now If you'd leave me now, I don't know what I'd do If you'd leave me now, you'd leave my heart in two I'm too much in love with you And it scares me sometimes how much I place My life and my heart in that smile on your face I'm too deep in love with you But you say I'm crazy, why do I talk this way When you know I love you like I do I've been burned and that makes me twice shy So I said I'd keep an eye out this time through 'Cause heartache is a woman's word One I've known before I know what happens to a heart Caught in the door If you'd leave me now, But you say I'm crazy, why do I talk this way Didn't we love each other from the start But I know I'm at the point where I would sell my freedom If I had to buy back your heart Heartache is a woman's word One I've known before I know what happens to A heart caught in the door If you'd leave me now, I guess I'd carry on But my eyes would be slate with the writing gone I'm too much in love with you And if you'd leave me now how could I sing I wouldn't feel like doing much of anything I'm too deep in love with you Oh, I'm so in love with you

RIVER SONG 04:05
lyrics
buy track
They dammed up this river they locked it away It used to flood these banks each spring Oh oh the river she run They dammed up this river, got it under control And now it doesn't do anything Oh oh the river she run Chorus But sometimes I wish That the rain would come down And break that wall, break it in two \ And I would see that river run Like it used to do Like it used to do And they dammed up a people with a reservation lock They used to camp these banks each fall Oh the river she run They took what they wanted, got them under control And now they don't stop here at all Oh oh river she run Chorus And I can hear that river whisper From the bridge some times I can see it in a guarded face It says time always works for a river How long can you keep it in place But I can't wait No They damned up this river but oh oh the river she run Chorus

THIN THREAD 05:13
lyrics
buy track
Thin Thread Life is a thin thread It's a thin little hand on a hospital bed It's all of the things that you've left unsaid Life is a thin thread Its a fine line between loving and not Between holding it back or giving all that you've got Feeling you're free thinking you're caught It's a fine line Chorus That was the summer of garlands from Chinatown I can remember them hung overhead Our lives unfolded like bright paper garlands Strung on a delicate thread Oh such a delicate thread Love and romance seem the same in the summer, But love it is golden and romance a thief I go over the memories again and again Like a ship that is caught on some hidden reef Looking back I see things with a different perspective With a knowledge now that I wish I had then But time's not a stone it is bright paper tissue It rips, and it tears, there's no having again Chorus When you want to live with a passion that scares you That's the way you fight death when you've felt it's faint chill And you dance and you party and you devil may care And you don't leave many moments still Not like now, as I sit with this handful of garlands That were tossed in a corner to be thrown away And I watch as the tears fade the bright paper tissue Like memories I try to make stay Oh, but, Chorus That was the summer of garlands from Chinatown I can remember them hung overhead And our lives unfolded like bright paper garlands Strung on a delicate thread Life such a delicate thread

HEART FOR THE BOY 03:00
lyrics

Chorus She's got a piece of heart for the boy She's got a piece of heart for the boy She's got a piece of heart on her sleeve for the boy Why does she fall in love, Couldn't for once she climb And why does she pick the wrong guy Time after time Chorus Why do her knees go weak What is that look in her eye Why does young love cut so deep Her friends all realize Oh no Chorus Why does he pass her by As if she's not there And why does that make him all the better in her eyes She doesn't care No Chorus

WARM YOURSELF 04:12
lyrics

Warm Yourself Warm yourself on a strong heart Draw a little closer to the old home fire Watch it dry the tears in your eye And take the sting out of your desire That's the strength of a good heart fire Your gave your all but it was not taken We all make mistakes you know Now you say you won't fall your faith has been shaken But what good is a heart if you don't let it show Chorus Warm yourself on a strong heart Draw a little closer to the old home fire Watch it dry the tears from your eye And take the sting out of your desire That's the strength of a good heart fire You gave your heart in a moment of fancy We all make mistakes you know And romance at the best of times is chancy Best to bet your little heart on a heart of gold Chorus Warm yourself on a strong heart Draw a little closer to the old home fire Watch it dry the tears in your eye And take the sting out of your desire That's the strength of a good heart fire That's the strength of a good heart fire.

PASSION 03:22
lyrics
buy track
And it started with passion, the wild and the tender kind Holding each other like they're never gonna love again It started with passion, strong enough to make them blind but they're finding each other in the dark of a lovers den Passion A man and a woman and fireworks under the skin Passion That’s the kind of heaven that the angels never rush in And what’s a woman to do? Passion Hmmn It makes the world stand still All those nights and so little sleep Passion From the flame to the chill And all the thrills that go skin deep chorus Oh it's like a freight train There's no stopping it at all Oh skin on skin Pressing up against that wal l Oh it's like a fever When you look him in the eyes Oh its another night and Another set of lies And what's a woman to do It ended with passion The cheating and the lying kind The pounding of a fist on a long closed door It ended with passion The shouting and the crying kind The telephone rings and its please don't call anymore Passion

One Hit. c kaldor. SOCAN. @word of mouth music Pack your bags girl, you be going down that road alone Oh no use crying over a broken bone Write him a letter, you be gone in a little while Oh no use crying over a broken smile Because one hit leads to another And we're back where we begun Well I got a baby inside me now And we got to run, Oh we gotta run We're gonna run till we get somewhere That the door don't get kicked in We're gonna run will we get somewhere We never have to worry where someone might have been Why does love start so sweet then turn so bitter Oh no use crying after you've hit her Why do you do the things that you do, did your daddy do the very same things too? Oh no use crying over love that’s gone from you Because one hit leads to another And we're back where we begun Well I got a baby growing inside me now and We're gonna run We're gonna run till we find someone That's got room for a family We're gonna run till we find someone Who won't take the whole world out on me Pack your bags girl You be going down that road alone Oh no use crying over a broken home.

I GO OUT WALKING 04:30

I go out walking I go out walking, I will head out walking, I will Go out walking through the middle of midnight With a burning inside And there's nothing they can throw me no Nothing they can throw at me now no Nothing they can throw me That I can't throw back Or at least know where to hide Cigarette burning bright First cigarette that I've seen tonight I wish I may I wish I might Not burn alone like you tonight Chorus I took your memories and I threw them on the path And I walked on by 'Cause there's only so long you can carry the burden Of love with a pack of lies Chorus I talked to my lonely heart And an old streetlight And I cried on the shoulder Of the road Till I felt all right Chorus I go out walking I will head out walking I will go out walking .....
