I DONT LOVE EASY

I Don't Love Easy
I don't love easy, I guard myself well
Some people say they love you but it's hard to tell
I don't love easy, you must show me the way I've seen a lot of heartache in my little every day
But I know you feel something for me
I feel like I've a bird trapped in my chest That beats it's wings to get free
Chorus
But I think that things might change I think that things might change
I don't love easy, I don't easily fall
Some people say they love you when they love nothing at all
I don't love easy, it's not my family way
All the battles are hard fought and not won in a day
So you can't blame me I suppose Love's not the soft petal to me But the thorn of the rose
Chorus
Hold my hand, it's just a start
It’s a cold cold hand, but it's a hidden heart
Chorus Chorus

I’ll Take Good Care of Your Heart
Look at you sleeve, it’s worn and tattered
Just like all the things inside of you that mattered Someone held your love and they let it fall Someone didn’t even know it was there at all
Chorus
But I’ll take good care of your heart Oh I’ll take good care of your heart
You can hide the cuts from the lies
But you can’t seem to hide those sad, sad eyes Someone left you standing in the rain
Then they said they didn’t want you back again
Chorus
Just like you, I’ve gone to the well and I’ve come back dry I’ve felt the pain of love and that is why
Chorus Chorus

Singer of the Sacred Heart
You can still hear the sound of her accordion playing Each afternoon by the subway stairs
She plays a battered pearl gray Hohner
Same color as her hair
She's got the case wide open at her feet
And people throw money in as they rush by her She's got a postcard pinned to the lining
Of the savior with his heart on fire
Chorus
She's the singer of the sacred heart And you can hear a little melody Ringing our on her accordion
Down at Berri De Montigny
Listen to her play
Listen to it ringing through the whole subway Listen to her play
Throw a dollar or two her way
She's the singer of the sacred heart
Did your momma say it wasn't right
For a girl to play accordion day and night
But there were things that your momma didn't know How times can change, how a life can go
Now you're playing for the savior
And you're playing for the rent
And you won't believe them when they say you're life's been spent No you'll light a little candle, say a little prayer,
Pick up that accordion and head down the stairs.
Chorus
She plays for anyone who's heart's been broken Plays for anyone who's got a subway token
Plays to make us generous with the coins we throw You'll do more than you know

MOTHER'S PRAYER

Mother's Prayer
Chorus
Let the wind blow, let the rain come down I am free from harm
And I watch as the clouds rush by
With my baby asleep in my arms
And I feel tied to every mother that I see
I can't watch the war reports on TV
And if I had all the money in this world
I'd buy every gun and throw it into the sea
Chorus
And I feel tied to every mother who has hunger in her eyes Who must comfort when there's not enough to eat
Tell me where has the plenty gone,
And tell me what in the world is more important than these
Chorus
And I don't want to hear about religions and boundaries
I don't want to hear about the ones who hoard their gold
I don't want to hear about the might and the majesty
Do the ones who make this madness have no babies to hold?
Chorus

WHY AREN'T YOU HERE

Why Aren’t You Here
I've been counting the sleeps, I've been crossing off the days, I've been keeping myself busy in all sorts of ways
And you're out there working and I guess I shouldn't mind
But tonight I caught the moon through the slats of the Venetian blind
Chorus
Why aren't you here on a night like tonight
Why aren't you here when the moon is shining so bright
It's a night custom made for two
And one of them should be me and the other should be you
I sat out on the porch in my T-shirt and underwear Sat out in the dark so the neighbors wouldn’t care And I cried to myself about some things in my day Friends can hurt you the most I'd say
But what you gonna do when you're down there on the ground And I know you would hold me if you were around
Chorus
You're halfway around the world in a place called Larochelle The whole band sharing one room in a cheap french hotel And you sat sipping Cinzano in little cafe
Even though you were broke you still called me anyway
Why aren’t you here
It's still 10 more sleeps till you'll be home again,
My love's not like the moon it doesn't wax and wane
And that old moon will shine once again
Even if it's round and paper and taped to the windowpane
Why aren't you here

WHAT A MESS LOVE IS

What a Mess Love Is
What a mess love is, all the trouble that it makes What a mess love is, look at all the hearts it breaks What a mess love is, with everything that matters What a mess love is, look at all the lives it shatters
You've got your heart in order, It's got it's little space Then love comes waltzing in and it trashes the place
What a mess love is, the way it stirs things up again What a mess love is, it throws logic down the drain What a mess love is, is there any doubt
What a mess love is, the way it turns things inside out
One day you've got your apple cart, the next it is upset
And it often seems you don't deserve the kind of love you get
What a mess love is
But Oh, when it grabs you like a hurricane
And you know that you life will never be the same again And for no rhyme or reason you just fall to it's touch
It's just human nature to want it that much
What a mess love is, there's no getting around it
What a mess love is, still I'm awfully glad I found it
So book the band, and buy the hat, I'm putting out my welcome mat 'Cause just like the rest of the world I don't care
What a mess love is.

HOPE IN MY HEART

Hope in My Heart
That old despair has come to stay The one I always chase away
But I won't be chasing it tonight
You do the best to make it play
Then watch the chances slip away
There are times when you concede the fight
Chorus
I know that sun keeps shining
I know the clouds must part
I've heard all about silver linings
What do I do without hope in my heart
That old despair has come around
I don’t' know which way's up but I sure know down And I don't know how to make it right
Sometimes it seems there's now way out
You can kick and cry you can curse and shout But still the tunnel has no light
Chorus
Look it here that old despair
Has gone and caught me unawares And I don't know what to do tonight
Just simply make a cup of tea Count my blessings one two three And hope that you will hold me tight
Until that sun starts shining
Until the clouds must part
Until I find some silver lining
Until I find some hope in my heart
Until I find some hope in my heart.

I AM A BELEIVER NOW
04:04

I Am a Believer
I've been waiting so long for a love like this I've seen others fall, but I always miss
And I'd lost all hope after so many tries I've seen the dark side of so many lies
I didn't believe it could happen to me To be held so close and feel so free
Chorus
But I am a believer now When I hear your call
I am a believer now
In the power of it all
I've been waiting so long for a love like this For the searing heat of a tender kiss
The kind of love where the heart beats fast And it fades all other loves in the past
I didn't believe that love was true But look at me now since I met you
Chorus
Love that comes clear out of the blue
I turned some corner and I ran into you I won't run, I won't hide
'Cause I've waited so long for the way You make me feel inside.
Chorus

Bigger than Anywhere Else
There's a green field beneath a blue sky
There are blue flowers in between reaching up high And your father bends down, as he explains
That the flax is so good on account of the rains
And it's years of knowing
And its years of growing
It is caught in the photo I hold in my hand
It takes me back to the field where he stands
Chorus
Where the skies are bigger than anywhere else And there is room enough for me
Where the skies are bigger than anywhere else As far as the eye can see
It's crowded out here, there are no empty spaces There are too many buildings and too many faces Too many things that are set in their ways
Too many things that fill up my days
And it's years of choices
And it's years of voices
That have taken me here to where things never change Not like the clouds that roll in on a range
Chorus
The cold of the winter, the dry of the fall
The first wind of spring, I miss them all
But what I miss, when I feel alone
Is the one thing that makes me feel like I've come home
It's the skies are bigger than anywhere else And there's room enough for me
Where the skies are bigger than anywhere else As far as the eye can see.
Where the skies are bigger than anywhere else As far as the eye can see.
