"Black Water "- Reuben and The Dark

Well, I get high and I get low

Oh, but that's the way these things go

I saw my face in the mirror

Oh, I know I've changed

Though I look much the same

I found grace in the black water

Bathe my soul

And tell my heart

"I told you so"

I'm like fate in the lion's cage

And wait for my time to come

But I'm begging, please, I need this

So much more than you'll ever know

Oh well, I get high and I get low

Oh, but that's the way these things go

I saw my face in the mirror

Oh, I know I've changed

Though it looks much the same

I found grace in the black water

Bathe my soul

And tell my heart

"I told you so"

"Awake Me" - Rosie Carney

Water

It flows on deserts you have made

The surface breaks

Breaks like the bones

Your darkness has claimed

There's hell to pay

Awake me

Don’t break me

From down on the dirt

To under mountain tops

Where our life stops

And I've been a fool

For more than half of my life

I've tried to hide

Awake me

Don’t break me

Don't leave it too long

Don't leave it too long

Oh, all the birds are falling to the ground

All the trees are growing upside down

We’re all holding on to something

Holding on to someone else’s hand

"Sparrows Will Sing" - Marianne Faithfull

A child breaks the ice and peers into the hidden depths

And tries to decipher the whole of this unholy mess

I have no doubt he will figure it out someday

Callooh, Callooh Callay

Callooh, Callooh Callay

Then the sparrows will sing on the boulevards again

And the corridors of power will be walked by thoughtful men

The assassins and priests like mythical beasts will surely fade away

Callooh, Callooh Callay

Callooh, Callooh Callay

The new generation is eager to master the helm

They cannot be seduced by this candyfloss techno hell

They put over the helm and the fresh breeze fills the sails

Callooh, Callooh Callay

Callooh, Callooh Callay

A child breaks the ice and peers into the hidden depths

To try to untangle the whole of this unholy mess

Well I have no doubt they will figure it out one day

Callooh, Callooh Callay

Callooh, Callooh Callay

"Another Rain Song" - Ruthie Foster

[CHORUS:]

Looks like another day for a rain song

I got empty pockets

But that don't bother me none

Said I'm right at home, oh, singing my song

Yes, I am

I got another day for a rain

A rain song

Stressful troubles

If you want me, you can find me

Resting easy in my quiet chair

Look for me, I'm sitting right there

[CHORUS]

Tired ambitions

Said if you want me, you can find me

Walking with destiny I'll be traveling far

Don't wait for me, I've closed that door

[CHORUS]

I'm gonna rest all my troubles now

In a rain, a rain song

Those stressful troubles

Say if you want me you can find me

Resting easy in my solitude

Oh, and I shall not

I shall not be moved

Oh, and it looks like another day for a rain song

I got empty pockets

But that don't bother me none

Said I'm right at home, oh, singing my song

Yes, I am

I've got another day for a rain

Oh, another day for a rain

Oh, looks like another day for a rain

Another rain song

Another rain song

"Don't Save Me" -  Josh Krajcik

I know I'm drunk and I'm lost

And I'm gone and I'm down again

And my heart's on my sleeve

But it seems it won't start again

[CHORUS:]

But I might not let it show

But I'm down on my knees

I want you to know

I don't want you to save me

I don't need you to save me

I don't want you to save me

I just need your love 

I know it seems

It seems, it seems I am lost again

But there's a place

There's a place, there's a place I belong again

My ride will break

It won't stop, it won't stop reminding us

That I can break, I can lose my control

And then fall again

[CHORUS]

My heart is a storm

And I warned you that I'm a mess

But you're sweet, you give me peace

When I need all your tenderness

But I might not let it show

When I'm down on my knees

I want you to know

I don't want you to save me

I don't need you to save me

I don't want you to save me

I just need your love

” Epiphany “

Staind

https://youtu.be/QjdlPeWCd8g

"Epiphany"

Your words to me just a whisper

Your face is so unclear

I try to pay attention

Your words just disappear

'Cause its always raining in my head

Forget all the things I should have said

So I speak to you in riddles because

My words get in my way. I smoke the

whole thing to my head and feel it

wash away 'cause i can't take anymore

of this, I want to come apart.

or dig myself a little hole inside

your precious heart

'Cause its always raining in my head

Forget all the things I should have said

I am nothing more than a little boy inside

That cries out for attention

yet I always try to hide

'Cause I talk to you like children,

Though I don't know how I feel

But I know I'll do the right thing

If the right thing is revealed

'Cause its always raining in my head

Forget all the things I should have said

” Find A Way”

Jamestown Story

"Find A Way"

Broke down in this little town*

I'm just trying to make a name

To get myself up off the ground

And since I was a little boy I've been making noise hoping it will find a way

To take me to the places in my dreams

It's always been a long, dark road

That I've been wandering on

I've never known where it goes

But I kept moving on

No I don't wanna waste more time

Following dead end roads

So I'll find a way, I'll make my own

Broke down in the same old time

I have yet to get away

To show them all what I was meant to be

Now I'm 25 years old and I'm losing hope

But I'll never lose my faith

Ya I will never give up on my dreams

It's always been a long, dark road

That I've been wandering on

I've never known where it goes

But I kept moving on

No I don't wanna waste more time

Following dead end roads

So I'll find a way, I'll make my own

Where do I go?

I'm gonna find a way

I'm gonna find a way

(Where do I go?)

There are times when I would rather just give up.

But then I'd lose all I have done

It's always been a long, dark road

That I've been wandering on

I've never known where it goes

But I kept moving on

No I don't wanna waste more time

Following dead end roads

So I'll find a way I'll make my own

No I don't wanna waste more time

Following dead end roads

So I'll find a way, I'll make my own.

” From Me To You”

Janis Ian

"From Me To You"

I'm leaving by night

I'm leaving alone

I'm leaving it lie

When you waken I'll be gone

I would not beg for me

As I would not beg for you

Though I'd like to be the one

To see you through

Every step you have taken

Disappears with the tide

You're torn up and shaken

With changing your mind

You haven't got the grace

To say you'll finally decide

And you haven't got the strength

To stay and fight

Those people who surround you

Only want to see you weak enough to crawl

They'll lie for you decide for you

And buy up all your rights and all your wrongs

And they'll try to stop your singing

In the middle of your song

For they do not want you free

And they do not make you strong

But only drag you down

In the hole they're coming from

They say you are foolish in wanting the sun

Say you are selfish in learning to run

And they'll tell you that the darkness

Is a blessing in disguise

For you never have to notice

If you're sighted or you're blind

And they'll do their best

To keep you from the light

You're more than beginning

You're learning to fly

You feel like you're falling

But it passes in time

I hate to see a friend

Go down in flames without a song

So I'm waiting by the doorway

But I will not linger long

I'm leaving by night

I'm leaving alone

I'm leaving it lie

When you waken I'll be gone

I would not beg for me

As I could not beg for you

But I'd like to be the one

To see you through

” Send In The Clowns”

Judy Collins

"Send In The Clowns"

Isn't it rich?

Are we a pair?

Me here at last on the ground,

You in mid-air..

Where are the clowns?

Isn't it bliss?

Don't you approve?

One who keeps tearing around,

One who can't move...

Where are the clowns?

Send in the clowns.

Just when I'd stopped opening doors,

Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours.

Making my entrance again with my usual flair

Sure of my lines...

No one is there.

Don't you love farce?

My fault, I fear.

I thought that you'd want what I want...

Sorry, my dear!

And where are the clowns

Send in the clowns

Don't bother, they're here.

Isn't it rich?

Isn't it queer?

Losing my timing this late in my career.

And where are the clowns?

There ought to be clowns...

Well, maybe next year.

” Fallen”

Gert Taberner

Tell me things you never said out loud

Just try and go there if you can

Show me the parts of you you're not that proud of

I want to know I'm just a man

I'll have you know that I have good and bad days

Come on, now, love, don't be naive

Lay out our cards and you'll see all my mistakes

Well, I don't mind while you're with me

When have I fallen

Am I crawling on my knees

Here I'm calling

In the hope that you'll see me

Whoa whoa whoa

Whoa whoa whoa

This voice inside of me has lost its breath

It's far too tired to sing at ease

All of the things I never said out loud

They will remain inside of me

Yeah and I've fallen

Yes, I'm crawling on my knees

Yeah and I'm calling

Out in search of who we'll be

Whoa whoa whoa

Whoa whoa whoa

Whoa whoa whoa

Whoa whoa whoa

Tell me things you've never said out loud

‘Cause I want to know I'm just a man

❤️❤️❤️

"Lament" - Ultravox

And just as my eyes start seeing

After all the pain

The twist in my life starts healing

Just to twist again

In stillness, in sorrow

Returns that softly sighing lament

Lament

And just as the smile's returning

After all the pain

The fire inside stops burning

Just to burn again

In moments of madness

Returns that softly sighing lament

Lament

Lament, lament

Lament, lament

Lament, lament

Lament

Lament

"Yesterday When I Was Young"

Shirley Bassey                                          Dusty Springfield

https://youtu.be/hG4-QlBu7mw             

Yesterday, when I was young

The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue

I teased at life as if it were a foolish game

The way the evening breeze may tease the candle flame

The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned

I always built to last on weak and shifting sand

I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day

And only now I see how the years ran away

Yesterday, when I was young

So many lovely songs were waiting to be sung

So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me

And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see

I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out

I never stopped to think what life was all about

And every conversation I can now recall

Concerned itself with me and nothing else at all

Yesterday, the moon was blue

And every crazy day brought something new to do

I used my magic age as if it were a wand

And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond

The game of love I played with arrogance and pride

And every flame I lit too quickly quickly died

The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away

And only I am left on stage to end the play

There are so many songs in me that won't be sung

I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue

The time has come for me to pay for yesterday

When I was young

:'(

"I Wish I Knew How it Would Feel to be Free"

Nina Simone

Lighthouse Family

Lucky Peterson ft. Tamara Peterson

I wish I knew how it would feel to be free

I wish I could break all the chains holding me

I wish I could say all the things that I should say

Say them loud, say them clear, for the whole round world to hear

I wish I could share all the love that's in my heart

Remove all the bars that keep us apart

And I wish you could know what it means to be me

Then you'd see and agree that every man should be free

I wish I could give all I'm longing to give

I wish I could live like I'm longing to live

I wish I could do all the things that I can do

And though I'm way overdue, I'd be starting anew

I wish I could be like a bird in the sky

How sweet it would be if I found I could fly

Well, I'd soar to the sun and look down at the sea

Then I'd sing cause I'd know how it feels to be free

Yes, I would know, I would know

How it feels to be free

I wanna know how it feels to be free

I wanna know how it feels to be free

"Freedom" - Jennifer Warnes

Oh, what does freedom look like

An eagle flying high

As careless as the topsail

Waving in a fearless sky

Oh, what does freedom taste like

Salt from the briny sea

Waves leap for the starboard bow

As if to welcome me, to welcome me

To welcome me

Freedom, freedom

Never leaves someone behind

Oh, freedom, freedom

Never leaves someone behind

Oh, what does freedom move like

It walks, it runs, it leaps

It knows just where it's going

And it goes just where it pleases

Oh, what does freedom sound like

Laughter in the wind

And doors that swing wide open

Friend, come in and be at peace

Right here with me

Freedom, freedom

Never leaves someone behind

Oh, freedom, talking about freedom

It never leaves someone behind

Freedom, freedom

It never leaves someone behind

Freedom, freedom, freedom

It never leaves someone behind

Freedom

Freedom

Freedom

Freedom

"Fly Away" - Tom Jones

The rain is falling down

My life has just begun

Cause you shine a light

To make me come alive

And when the moon

Holds a candle in the sky

I wanna be with you

Together through the night

Why don't we fly away

Hand in hand against the sky

Why don't we fly away

You and I

Fly away to a place

Where our dreams will never die

Why don't we fly away

Alone

Let's fly away

Far far away

Let's fly away

I wouldn't want to go to heaven

Without you by my side

You're my angel

You're my guiding light

Now that we've come this far

To reach this paradise

Supernatural

This love is right

Why don't we fly away

Hand in hand against the sky

Why don't we fly away

You and I

Far away to a place

Where the time is on our side

Why don't we fly away

Long gone, long gone

Let's fly away alone

Let's fly away alone

Let's fly away alone

Why don't we fly away

Hand in hand against the sky

Why don't we fly away

You and I

Far away to a place

Where our dreams will never die

Why don't we fly away

Let's fly away alone

Let's fly away alone

Let's fly away alone

Let's fly away alone

Let's fly away

Let's fly away

Let's fly away

Let's fly away

Let's fly away

Let's fly away

Let's fly away

Let's fly away

Why don't we fly away

In my Supercar

It's Mercury-manned

We'll leave the monkey behind

Why don't we fly away

In my Supercar

You and I
