PIECES OF YOUR HEART 04:16
lyrics
buy track
Pieces of your heart You watched things stumble and then you watched them fall Now you’re picking up the pieces of your heart All you have left is packed in boxes in the hall And you’re picking up the pieces of your heart You close the curtains and it’s like a sad farewell You’re picking up the pieces of your heart These walls have way too many stories they could tell So you’re picking up the pieces of your heart Chorus You cannot leave a piece behind Hearts must be put back together You need a little peace of mind And no more stormy weather Things can’t go back to the way they were before So you’re picking up the pieces of your heart No more coffee in the morning and kids happy out the door You’re picking up the pieces of your heart And when you feel weak is when you got to be so strong So you’re picking up the pieces of your heart You curse all the reasons that you held on for so long Now you’re picking up the pieces of your heart Chorus Things will get better you can feel it in your bones So you’re picking up the pieces of your heart Head down that highway not caring where you’re going Cause you’re picking up the pieces of your heart Call up your friends and say that you’ll be dropping by That you’re picking up the pieces of your heart Find some little roadside stop and have yourself a cry Cause you’re picking up the pieces of your heart Chorus

TIME IS NOW 02:56
lyrics

THE TIME IS NOW You’ve got some love You’ve got some hope You’ve got a hundred different ways In your life in which you cope You’ve got some love You’ve got a heart And a bunch of tears on standby In case things fall apart Chorus But there comes a time with every thing When you can open up your heart and let it sing And that time is now, that time is now That time is now You’ve got your life It moves so fast But you finally got ahead Of all that trouble in the past You’ve got your life You’ve got your place Till you looked inside your heart And found that little empty space Chorus Cause you’ve worked so hard You’ve been so strong Didn’t you pick up all the pieces That time when love went wrong? Chorus

SMALL TOWN SATURDAY NIGHT 03:47
lyrics
buy track
Small town Saturday night It’s just another small town Saturday night There’s a sunset goin’ down The groceries are bought, the choir’s had its practice and The trucks start rolling into town They’re parking by the bar in the fading light It’s just another small town Saturday night Billy rolls in just a little after eight He’s got his aftershave but he hasn’t got a date He hasn’t been lucky in a year or two He knows he’s good looking but what you gonna do He says if you don’t fish then you never get a bite It’s just another small town Saturday night Chorus You gotta drink till you feel all right You gotta drink till you get a little tight You gotta drink till someone starts a fight It’s just another small town Saturday night The girls know they are pretty and the boys know they’re right It’s just another small town Saturday night You know every body in this little old bar Who likes to dance, who likes to shout You know their families and you know their car If you don’t you soon find out You gotta play a little shuffleboard have a couple beer When the hockey team comes in win or lose they get a cheer Chorus Put all the money in the middle of the table Drink till it’s gone if you are able Take the bottle caps try toss them in the glass Anything to make another Saturday pass Gord is back from his job in the city He’s got a girl, oh, the lucky mister They all feel jealous until they see That she has brought her sister That smartens them up, that livens the place There’s a smile on every single guy’s face They’re buying her drinks till she feels all right They’re buying drinks till she gets a little tight They’re buying her drinks till two get in a fight Over who buys her a drink on a Saturday night She knows she is pretty and they know she’s right It’s just another small town Saturday night Chorus

WHAT DOES IT TAKE 05:06
lyrics
buy track
You can see them in the boardrooms Or asleep outside your door The ones who were broken And couldn’t take any more And what was it took The strength from their stride? What was it broke All their hope and their pride? Chorus What does it take to break a man? What does it take to break something that strong? What does it take to break a man? Whatever it is it’s wrong Was it something that was taken Was it something that was done? Did they lose the race No matter how hard they had run? Was it someone who pointed out All that they lack? What was the straw That broke somebody’s back? Chorus And war will do it Again and again When faced with the cruelty Of their fellow men Some heal up some hide The lines and the cracks And some it just stops them Right in their tracks Chorus And some they fight on They rage through the rain Some use drugs and the booze To dull the pain And some make music and beauty I marvel it still How they carry that rock Up that mighty high hill Chorus

I NEVER WANT US TO RUN OUT OF LOVE 03:22
lyrics
buy track
I never want us to run out of love It seems to happen so much You’re both on the go And before you know You haven’t even talked and you’re way out of touch I never want us to run out of love I want to keep my eye on that cup The minute I see that it is running low I’m gonna stop and fill it up, stop and fill it up Chorus Because LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Love is the sweetest thing LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE It makes the bees buzz it makes the little birds sing I never want us to run out of love I’ve seen a couple that happened to Man it was bad Things got so sad Kids in the middle and what do you do I never want us to run out of love To wake up one morning and find That all of the love that we had counted on Somehow got left behind, somehow got left behind Chorus I never want us to run out of love I’m tired of that old melody You love me, you’re gone Now I can’t carry on That’s not the song for me I never want us to run out of love I want to wake up at 92 Look across the bed And see your old grey head And know that in my heart That just like at the start I am still in love with you I am still in love with you Chorus

SKY WITH NOTHING TO GET IN THE WAY 03:56
lyrics
buy track
Sky with nothing to get in the Way My Mother painted a picture, a canvas of sky I look at that painting each day Cause when you’re from the flat land then you understand Sky with nothing to get in the way Chorus You know you’re lucky if you’ve seen the Cypress Hills And the cut knife by the river at dawn If you have seen the sun go down from the edge of town The memory lingers long after it’s gone And I’m sure you remember a kiss that you stole And the way that it made your heart fall Between the loves that you caught and the ones you did not It’s the sweetest you love to recall Chorus And spring is a wind, it’s cars covered in mud Summer’s dusty with guys at the café all talking of yields And winter is cold, it’s nights down at the rink Fall’s a halo of dust around the combine lights out in the fields And they won’t tell you they love it cause that’s just not done There are things that you feel but don’t say But somewhere deep in your heart, there’s always a part of Sky with nothing to get in the way Chorus

YOU CAN'T TELL ME 04:50
lyrics
buy track
You can’t tell me that you love me You can’t tell me that you love me It’s something that you cannot do You cannot lie when you look me in the eye It’s something that I love in you Someone else has made you feel In a way I never could The heart it seems goes where it must And never goes where it should Chorus Where did our love go? Just because I feel it, that won’t make it so And you can’t tell me that you’re leaving But I can see it in your eyes I used to see what you feel for me Now all I see there are goodbyes Someone else’s eyes will light dear At the mention of your name The heart it seems goes where it must And there is only love to blame Chorus

SWEET OLD HEARTACHE 02:45
lyrics
buy track
SWEET OLD HEARTACHE I knew I was crazy but the touch of you was strong I leapt into that fire saying I’d love you right or wrong And sweet was your smile as you looked into my eyes Sweet was the loving and sweeter were the lies Chorus It’s a sweet old heartache that I’m riding with tonight I’ll ride with it ‘til dawn Cause you don’t love me and I know you never will I’m riding out of here I’m gone My friends tried to tell me but I stuck by your instead I stepped into the ring when I leapt into your bed My pride took a beating when it walked into that fight It’s bruised and it’s is broken but it walked out of here tonight Chorus And here’s to the man with the wandering eyes He skips across hearts like a stone And here’s to the woman man who fell for his lies Her heartache is all her own Chorus Chorus

I’m gonna love you I’m gonna love you I’m gonna love you I’m gonna love you like you’ve never been loved before I’m gonna love you like you’ve never been loved before I’m gonna to love you Just you wait and see You’ve never been loved by anyone Till you’ve been loved my me I’ll love you in the morning I’ll love you all night long I’m gonna love the right back into you I’m gonna love away the wrong Chorus You know love is crazy It’s a runaway train There are those that pick you up and toss you round And drop you off again But I am not like that I won’t want to play that game I love you and I want you And I’ll always feel the same Chorus

RICKETY OLD RAILROAD TRACK 02:58
lyrics
buy track
Chorus It’s a rickety old railroad track that takes you out of town and brings you back And you can’t go faster than the clickity-clack of that Rickety old railroad track Because leaving is never smooth There are roots to rip and tear And the friends that waved goodbye to you Are calling you back there Cause you never know where you’re going And you never know who you’ll meet You could be all alone on a stormy night Or sitting on easy street Chorus You may be leaving on a bus or leaving on a train Or heading down the big highway There are things that are pushing you down the road And things that make you want to stay Cause the sunrise comes too early And the sunset much too late You think that leavings hard to do But its perilous hard to wait And you better keep moving yes you better keep rolling No you better not give up now Cause your damned if you do and you’re damned if you don’t So you better keep moving somehow Chorus Adventures may be calling you Saying catch me if you dare And your bags are packed and loaded And your thoughts already there You’re on a fastest car out of town Or leaving on the fastest plane But your heart will be arriving later on a slow and a rickety train But you better keep moving yes you better keep rolling No you better not give up now Cause your damned if you do and you’re damned if you don’t So you better keep moving somehow Chorus Rickety old Railroad Track

TROUBLES FALL LIKE RAIN 04:02
lyrics
buy track
Troubles Fall Like Rain Does it seems like it’s a time when troubles fall like rain When bad things come in ones and twos and then come back again Does it seem like bad luck is the only luck you know Does it seem you’re all dressed up with no place left to go Chorus Hard times when troubles fall like rain Rich or poor they happen the bad luck and the pain It’s hard times, that’s when you understand All of us at sometime need a helping hand Does it seem like life’s unfair, yes I guess it must Does it seem like all the lies have misplaced all the trust Does it seem there’s no way out that every door is barred Does it seem you’re tired now, and everything is hard Chorus Does it seem like all is lost that all has gone astray You know it won’t last forever it just feels that way Does it seem the way is dark and there’s no way out Does it seem that to be heard you have to jump and shout Does it seem like trouble has caught you in its teeth Well after night the daylight comes this is my belief Chorus In those hard times when troubles fall like rain If you’re not in hard times give thanks again and again Remember hard times that’s when you understand That all of us at sometime need a helping hand

THAT'S WHAT MOTHERS DO 04:09
lyrics
buy track
That’s what Mothers do May all your friends be true Everything you do feel right May all your morning windows Be filled with sweet sunlight May you always walk with pride May you never stumble and fall May every dream you have come true I wish for it all Chorus I know it’s just a wish And they sometimes don’t come true But that won’t stop me wishing Cause that’s what mothers do May you smile and laugh each day May there be tears that touch you too And may all your troubles seem like things That you can get through And when you feel you’re lost, May a path appear May you in your darkest hour know That somewhere love is near Chorus I know people can be cruel I know that life’s not always fair And the odds are good you’ll love someone Who doesn’t really care But may you not love them for long May they fade into the past May it be the one you learn from Before you find the one that lasts Chorus
