FALLEN FROM GRACE LYRICS

ALL SONG LYRICS (scroll down)

Over Yonder (Jonathan’s Song)
(Steve Earle)

The warden said he'd mail my letter
The chaplain's waitin' by the door
Tonight we'll cross the yard together
Then they can't hurt me anymore.

I am going over yonder
Where no ghost can follow me
There's another place beyond here
Where I'll be free I believe.

Give my radio to Johnson
Thibodeaux can have my fan
Send my Bible home to Mama
Call her every now and then.

I suppose I got it comin'
I can't ever pay enough
All my rippin' and a runnin'
I hurt everyone I loved.

The world'll turn around without me
The sun'll come up in the east
Shinin' down on all of them that hate me
I hope my goin' brings 'em peace.

Bad Timing
J. Gregory Keelor + James G. Cuddy

Hey it's me what a big surprise
Calling you up from a restaurant round the bend
Just got in from way up North
i'm achin' and tired now and I could use a friend

I might be a fool
To think that you do
wanna see me again...

I know it's been awhile since i talk to you
nothing wrong, just nothing ever goes as planned
many times i thought i'd call
but didn't have your number in my hand

I know it's true
that you'd never do
the same thing to me...


Chorus:
I never meant to make you cry
and though I know i shouldn't call
it just reminds us of the cost
of everything we've lost
bad timing that's all

And maybe soon there'll come a day
when no more tears will fall
we each forgive a little bit
and we both look back on it
it's just bad timing that's all

Solo

We used to have so many plans
something always seemed to turn out wrong
never could catch up to you
moving on and doing all you've done

I don't know why
The harder I try
the harder it comes

Chorus:
I never meant to make you cry
and though I know i shouldn't call
it just reminds us of the cost
of everything we've lost
bad timing that's all

And maybe soon there'll come a day
when no more tears will fall
we each forgive a little bit
and we both look back on it
it's just bad timing that's all
we each forgive a little bit
and we both look back on it
it's just bad timing that's all.

Where The Eagles Still Flying Free
Terje Sending

As the night falls in, I feel scared
I don’t know how to survive
I don’t know what makes this eternal fear
all I know I need some rest for a while

If only I knew the way to this paradise
where all the night birds in the forest sing
They would guide me into the morning light
If only I could fly like an eagle on the wing

They would take me to the highlands
They would take me to the sea
They would take me to the mountains
Where the eagles still flying free

Midnight moon, stay with me
Will you show me you're still my friend
Stay with me, for all eternity
so I can calm down this fear once again

Will you take me to the highlands
Will you take me to the sea
Will you take me to the mountains
Where the eagles still flying free
Where the eagles still flying free
Where the eagles still flying free

A Kind Of A Happiness
Terje Sending

I ran into you today, felt I hadn’t seen you for years
We both did our best, trying to hold back our tears
It sure was hard to see you again
I have tried to avoid you, I have tried to forget
I have tried to be invisible, thought that's for the best
I have tried to run away from a kind of a happiness

And I knew I had to ask you this question that I've feared
Have you found someone new, someone to share
All your needs and dreams I could never fulfill
And you gave me the answer that I didn’t want to hear
You let the tears come rolling now, when you said yes
And I am happy now, more or less
And he gives me a kind of a happiness

I tried to buy you things you wanted, with the little that I had
But the way we were living, was drivin' me mad
Cause I am what I am, I can never change
I still mean that the glory is a spiritual thing
Love can not be given by just two golden rings
It's just a symbol of a kind of a happiness

Yeah I know what they're saying, that I am sleepin' in the streets
But I have tried to live without you, have given up to make ends meet
I tried to replace a love that never came clean
So under the midnight moon and all the shining stars
I am spending my last energy, trying to hide my scars
Cause I may never see you again...

Goodbye
Steve Earle

I remember holdin' on to you
All them long and lonely nights I put you through
Somewhere in there I'm sure I made you cry
But I can't remember if we said goodbye

But I recall all of them nights down in Mexico
One place I may never go in my life again
Was I just off somewhere just too high
But I can't remember if we said goodbye

I only miss you here every now and then
Like the soft breeze blowin' up from the Caribbean
Most Novembers I break down and cry
But I can't remember if we said goodbye

But I recall all of them nights down in Mexico
One place I may never go in my life again
Was I just off somewhere just too high
But I can't remember if we said goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye.

Amy’s Back In Austin
Brady Seals, Stephen Allen Davis

We left Texas on a windy night
In a beat-up Chevy van
We loaded it up with our innocent dreams
And all the love we had
We didn't know then how hard it was
Livin' on our own
I'd find her cryin' late at night
Talkin' to the folks back home
I wonder what went wrong
And where is she now I'd love to know

I bet Amy's back in Austin
Workin' at the LaZona Rosa Cafe
I remember the night we lost it
And the day she went away
Was it the angry words or did she miss her momma
I don't know but it don’t feel right
I bet Amy's back in Austin
And I'm missin' her tonight

Workin' ten hours in a West Coast sun
Can make the days so long
And watchin' the moon crashin' into the ocean
Alone sure gets old
I remember how sweet it was
Where is she now I need to know

I bet Amy's back in Austin
Workin' at the LaZona Rosa Cafe
I remember the night we lost it
And the day she went away
Was it the angry words or did she miss her momma
I don't know but it don't feel right
I bet Amy's back in Austin
And I'm missin' her tonight

Could this desert wind
Carry me back again
With my heart in my hand
Baby, baby I'm missin' you

Was it the angry words or did she miss her momma
I don't know but it don't feel right
I bet Amy's back in Austin
And I'm missin' her missin' her tonight

Oh I bet Amy's back in Austin
I bet Amy's back in Austin
I bet Amy's back in Austin
I bet Amy's back in Austin
I bet Amy's back in Austin
I bet Amy's back in Austin

Last Letter Home
Russell Smith

I have heard the cannons thundering all night
And I cannot sleep for wondering why's a rebel's cause so right
And the morphine seems to do no good at all
And I would run away it I would not fall

I joined the southern cavalry for fun
And I had rode a thousand horses
Always had a way with a gun
Now I'm among the horseless riders lying still
Swallowed up by the cause on the widows hill

Chorus:
And I dreamed about a rose in a Spanish garden
And I kissed you and I placed it in your hair
And if I'm ever on my feet again I will
And I will run all the way just to meet you there

Solo

Through the day I watched those southern boys go down
And they lay like Georgia peaches bruised and broken on the ground
Through the night I wondered was it worth the pain
And I cried not revenge I called your name

Chorus:
And I dreamed about a rose in a Spanish garden
And I kissed you and I placed it in your hair
And if I'm ever on my feet again I will
And I will run all the way just to meet you there

Little Rock
Tom Douglas

I know I've disappeared a time or two
Along the way I lost me and you
I needed a new town for my new start
I'm sellin' VCRs in Arkansas at a Walmart
I haven't had a drink in 19 days
My eyes are clear and bright with-out that haze
I like the preacher from the Church of Christ
I'm sorry that I cried when I talked to you last night

Chorus:
I think I'm on a roll
Here in Little Rock
I'm solid as a stone
Wait and see
I got just one small problem
Here in Little Rock
Without you
Baby I'm not me
Without you
Baby I'm not me

I don't know why I held it all inside
You must've thought I never even tried
You know your daddy told me when I left
Jesus would forgive, but a daddy don't forget

Chorus:


Lyin' here upon this motel bed
Thoughts of you explode within my head
Like a castle built upon the sand
I let love crumble in my hand

Chorus:


I think I'm on a roll
Here in Little Rock

Wonderland
Terje Sending

Wonderland, hear my song
I have a prayer to you tonight, as i am standing on your ground
I started watching you, a long long time ago
And you have given me so much more, than anything i can recall

I am sure you can see that i am alone here tonight
I guess you know there's a reason why i am crying here this night
Cause we used to be two, walking, just watching you
You made that woman feel like a woman, this man feel like a man
Wonderland, Wonderland
But now that this nightbird has to fly, will you guide her in the night
Can u promiss me you'll make sure that she'll survive
Cause the guy before me lifted her up, just so she could fall again
He knocked her down while he was calling her his friend
It didnt work out the very way that she planned
She can live with no one but' you, Wonderland...

I gave her my soul, now i have to leave and pay the price
But you will stay here forever, every nightriders paradise
Can you protect her with your beauty and your soul
Can you giver her fortitude, and let her rest when everything is going wrong
Can you hear me, hear my prayer
Oh can you hear me, treat her fair
Cause you are her kind of a man, Wonderland

Lord, Take Me Out Of Here
Terje Sending

God, i am tired now, tired of being alone
So hear my prayer, Lord, please take me home
Oh i've been ridin' any highway, i've been sailing any sea
So hear my prayer, Lord, take me out of here

I have tried to find, Lord, the strenght to carrie on
But i see no way, Lord, now that she is gone
God, I am scared tonight, i am so full of fear
So hear my prayer, Lord, please take me out of here

I feel it's my turn to go, take me away
I am ready to fly now, take me out of here
