From the album, Restless Thoughts: Too Late Now From the album, The Champagne Sessions: Rainbow Hotel Thursday What You See Is What You Get Bad Enough |
|
Too Late Now twice upon a time when the moon lit up the night we thought we could be the wind we thought we could read the sky we could have seen the silver linin’ shinin’ through the clouds but baby it’s too late now all the moments that we lived between the twilight and the dawn we caught the first star that fell the first one that was born and you knew that it was golden so you held it for a while ah but if it’s easily broken you shouldn’t trust it to a child but baby it’s too late now so wherever you may go I wish you happiness may the road rise up to meet you wine sweet on your breath no use in pretendin’ we could ever work it out baby it’s too late now c&p Simon Bruce and Daniel Tashian Nashville August 2003 top of page |

Rainbow Hotel This old road keeps losing weight As I drift to the nearest state Where I’m going, I don’t know Just as far as my feet can go I won’t be staying, so you might as well Sing a song for me At the Rainbow Hotel If my soles keep wearing thin Please don’t try to let me in I’ll thumb my way to the nearest rim It’s a tough life, either sink or swim I won’t be staying, so you might as well Sing a song for me At the Rainbow Hotel If I die On that death-driven road Don’t forget to make a toast To the hobo who drank his death To the swimmer who lost his breath I won’t be staying, so you might as well Sing a song for me At the Rainbow Hotel top of page |

Thursday The streets are all empty But the parking is full As I search for that welcome sign The rain is starting to pull Rip off that costume Take a seat Leave those dishes in the sink You can lead a horse to water But you cannot make it drink I ain’t no bleedin’ heart But I know what’s right from wrong I’m tired of playing the same old part Tired of singing the same ol’ song I may be kind, and I may be blind But I’m not who you really think You can lead a horse to water But you cannot make it drink They call me the skilful But I just say it’s luck For as long as my fingers keep picking I can always earn a buck Well I been here and I been there I’ve been gone with a stranger’s wink You can lead a horse to water But you cannot make it drink. top of page |

What You See is What You Get Mind the step And ease the pain For it has crept back again Don’t believe it Just accept it You’ve achieved it Make the best of it Yeah Is it a shadow A road too narrow Or a game? ‘Cause I’m tired of playing with these arrows once again I’ve placed my bet What you see is what you get The clock is set What you see is what you get Well is it me Or is it just a phase ‘Cause I’ve seen better days Stand up straight and don’t accuse With a deal this good How can you refuse? I hear myself calling Out my name My happiness is falling So I guess I need a change I’ve placed my bet What you see is what you get The clock is set What you see is what you get top of page |

Bad Enough Don’t try to forget about the past too fast ‘Cause you and I both know it will last, it will last And oh woh oh, Is it bad enough to let it go? And oh woh oh, Is it bad enough to let it, bad enough to let it go, bad enough to let it show? There is no point in starting over Buy a big house and find another You know you’ll find your fears some day But the question is, in what way? And oh woh oh, Is it bad enough to let it go? And oh woh oh, Is it bad enough to let it, bad enough to let it go, bad enough to let it show? And oh woh oh, Is it bad enough to let it go? And oh woh oh, Is it bad enough to let it, bad enough to let it go, bad enough to let it show? |
