fit as a fiddle

when i was a child so little
i had fun i was fit as a fiddle
forgot all of the things that i knew i know'd
gave up nothing 'bout ten years ago
sometimes i can't believe the words that come out of my mouth
sometimes i hear myself and i scream and shout
and other times i know what's been between you and me from the beginning
i got a girl she's long in the mouth
i met her moving north from south
we settled east across the big river
you know i ain't no indian giver
...
when you ask me what i'm doing today
i say i can go either way
sometimes i think this world will change
sometimes i'm just glad i got me a girl

packed up my bags
02:33
|

i packed up my bags and flew over the sea
just to be with you baby.
it's what i wanted to do can't you see,
you're all that i need.
life holds many surprises
I didn't plan to be here.
i know that we'll find our answers
although we might never find it here.
they can laugh all they want at our silly design
yeah they can say that we're crazy.
let them plan their whole lives and say that they see it clear,
i still say that it's hazy.
no i don't know what i'm gonna find
i didn't plan to be here.
i just know that somehow i know
and i know that i love you dear

sometimes i call your name
and my life feels complete
every once in a while i hear your name
and my heart can't compete
yes you are the one that i know i want
though sometimes we still give it some ill use
is it the nature of what we are
i don't know
yes you are the one
yes i am the one
yes i am the way
and you are the way, too
the best that i could say; all you'd ask for
the best that i could say; all i'd wish to make
the best i could say; a good love that's hard to find
and feels better to live than forsake
all the dreams i thought were real i've seen them turn to dust
now that i met you i have to hold on to it
not just hope that should i come to know it
someone worthy to love

tell me
02:25
|
|||
ain't gonna offer you no false promises ain't gonna tell you no lies
if you want you can hold my hand until that sun rises
i know you can because i am your man
tell me what you want from me you know i'll go
take pains to speak carefully you will so i don't have no fear
yeah that's how it goes
i am here because you asked me to be
so free so i am freely your man
in Bielsko the dogs bark at the galaxy
all night they proclaim it joyfully
the moon and the stars do shine brightly here
i guess the dogs are telling the stars that they too are near
and you and me are listening.
it may be rough laying awake at night but somehow it's alright

if you want to come visit my lady
that's alright by me
come on down she'll offer you some tea
take the time to talk with her about just what you want
let go and flow right to your dream
no i'm not one to stop you
tho sometimes i may want to
i get my needs satisfied differently
a man can take and a man can give
i'm a man who wants to live with a woman
who wants to live with me.
we had a visitor late last night
a traveller far and wide
a man who's searching right upon his own feet
he lives an exciting life but still he hopes to find
a woman like the one i got with me
-------------
he's an excellent visitor
he knows how much to take and what to give
he shared with me quite honest and polite
the sad warmth within his eyes belied
and i know his hope to find himself a loving wife

it's not about it
02:13

talk to me about my heart
tell me you know it better than i do
talk to me about the way i feel
tell me you know it better than i do
now i'm not the one who's about to say
that i don't want it to go my way
and i'm not the one who's about to say
that i can't see it your way
when you try to tell me that i ain't leaving
that's when i say i gotta go
when you try to tell me that i got to get outta here
that's when i tell you i don't want to leave don't you know
you tell me that there's things that we can't say
i tell you that there's things that we can't make go away
you tell me that you love me, i tell you that my heart is true
we say we don't know what the next thing is that we should do

life apart
02:15
|

yeah we both know what i'm singing here about.
both of us know.
hey baby can you let go?
hey darling can i?
we tried hard and it still aint right
all those times i held my back went away into the night
every time i see you i know
but it still don't go
when you woke up this morning you didn't know what to say
it all changed over night, it was sweet again and you wanted to stay
once it starts rolling it gathers the grass in it's path
and the taste don't change in the aftermath.
you tried hard but no matter what you say
your mind don't change it's course
your heart goes it's way.
you know it inside
tell yourself you have to decide

i've got a friend
02:18
|

i've got a friend seems to me
steadily concerned with what he might be losing
i don't know, maybe i'm wrong and maybe he's right
i've got a friend he thinks i'm kind of mad
i think he's the best friend i ever had
half of it good, half of it bad
open your mouth, speak your mind.
i'm all ears.
i ain't trying to hurt you
but do you hear more than the sum of your fears?
maybe you've got a friend very close to you
steadily concern with the things that you're doing
you listen hard, and consider his side.
you've got questions when he brings something to you
about what he's carrying
telling you to listen because he's right.
.....
here we are smacking it in our own story;
closer to the heart in all it's glory.
here we are loving each other, seeing if we get it right.
friends maybe some, but lovers plenty
anyone who gets in can get nasty
i don't want to be the one who brings that light

she likes to embroider socks for hot waterbottles, keep us warm in the winter
she likes to cook de'journee for her daughter every morning.
she paints fantastic scenes, she goes for glossy magazines and publications
she dances when she sees the band if they drive her crazy,
she shows the child that lives inside of
every person if they'd choose to find it
a little will take you there,
a lot will take you wide
if you got the place my darling, i surely go the time.
everyone we meet here is the same
we give off light, and we thunder in the rain.
she was driving home last night with her daughter and her husband
down the country roads that have become so familiar
in the silence of the early night and an owl by the roadside
she stopped the car and waited for him to decide
ain't nothing to doubt about it we all got time for gravy
and if you can't find anything thing inside then you might as well be crazy

open your arms
03:04
|

got you here by my side it's a story that i do love
goin up and down the stairs fits me like a glove
if i want to i can stop by and you're there for me everytime
open your arms
you know it's great waking up here next to you
it's because of how you love me just as much as i love you
an agreement that spans the time it takes to forget and remember why
open your arms
i ain't gonna say that life's not a heavy load
that the risks that you take
when you grow old; it gets harder to tow the line.
with fear eager to speak it's mind,
open your arms
i don't want to be the man who always has to be right
and that's a comfort to me as i lay to bed at night
if at anytime i walk away from what i believed yesterday
open your arms
i'm not like the wind i'm constant like the sun
and the questions hear at night well, they don't bother me none
because i'm flexible like the reed and our love is the seed
open your arms
