Your Turn to Fall

Your Turn to Fall

I’m not sure why I came back here
There’s nothing for me here but memories
We fell in love on that dance floor
You broke my heart by the front door
Now you say you’ve been thinking about me

It seems like only yesterday
We were just a couple of young lovebirds
Even though I still miss you some
Most of my hurtin’s been done
All I have for you are these simple words

Chorus:
Your face is familiar
But I can’t recall your name girl
You say you’re a friend of mine
Well you know it’s such a strange world
All my friends have become strangers
And you’re the strangest one of all
What goes around comes around
And now it’s your turn to fall

For a while after you left me
I didn’t think that I would make it through
But as I slowly recovered
I finally discovered
That I’m a lot better off without you

Now you think you can get me back
With some sweet lies and the touch of your hand
And while I can be slow to learn
I don’t want to be twice burned
What part of these words don’t you understand

Bridge:
Now that I am feeling stronger
Maybe it won’t be much longer
Until I won’t answer your call
Now that it’s your turn to fall

Chorus:
Your face is familiar
But I can’t recall your name girl
You say you’re a friend of mine
Well you know it’s such a strange world
All my friends have become strangers
And you’re the strangest one of all
What goes around comes around
And now it’s your turn to fall

Wings of Angels

Wings of Angels

Part of me will always wonder
But there’s no sense in looking back
Over the miles that lie crying
Between our desires and the cold hard facts
On a rocket ship to the stars
Does your baggage always get lost
And spin towards earth like falling leaves
As burdens that hold you down get cast off

Chorus:
If you see my father
Ask him if he remembers me
If you see my mother
Tell her I am sorry
Love is the wings of angels
Carried by the wind of regret
Let the healing begin tomorrow
I’m not quite ready yet

I saw you flying through the sky
Towards a moon that was almost full
In my dream I was the ocean
Fighting in vain against its mighty pull
I remember calling to you
As you sailed right over my head
A whole life lived in a moment
And you heard every word I would’ve said

Chorus:
If you see my father
Ask him if he remembers me
If you see my mother
Tell her I am sorry
Love is the wings of angels
Carried by the wind of regret
Let the healing begin tomorrow
I’m not quite ready yet

Bridge:
It’s 3:00 a.m.
And I’m awake again
Looking for meaning to it all
On a dark bedroom wall
My lips make a silent refrain
I will always speak your name
I will always speak your name

Chorus:
If you see my father
Ask him if he remembers me
If you see my mother
Tell her I am sorry
Love is the wings of angels
Carried by the wind of regret
Let the healing begin tomorrow
I’m not quite ready yet

White Mercedes Blues

White Mercedes Blues

Driving out to the Woodlands
I was heading north
On I-45

I passed a pretty rainbow
Golden hair, red lips
And pretty blue eyes

Chorus:
Tell me do you like your white Mercedes
Is it taking you where you want to go
Why don’t you come and ride beside me
And we’ll take it nice and slow

We’ll spend some time together
I’ll paint you pictures
Of the deepest hue

I’ll regale you with stories
And if you let me
I’ll make them come true

Chorus:
Tell me do you like your white Mercedes
Is it taking you where you want to go
Why don’t you come and ride beside me
If you don’t you’ll never know

Bridge:
You’ll never know what we can see
You’ll never know the gentler side of me
You’ll never know what we can do
You’ll never know how much I love you

Chorus:
Tell me do you like your white Mercedes
Is it taking you where you want to go
Why don’t you come and ride beside me
If you don’t you’ll never know

Bridge:
You’ll never know what we can see
You’ll never know the gentler side of me
You’ll never know what we can do
You’ll never know how much I love you

William’s on a Bender

William’s on a Bender

William’s on a bender
It’s been a long time coming
He’s been holding it inside
As long as I’ve known him
William’s on a bender

Chorus:
If I were William
I’d be on a bender too

William’s grown his hair long
And he’s sporting an earring
He bought my old guitar
He going to learn how to sing
William’s grown his hair long

Chorus:
If I were William
I’d grow my hair long too

William’s leaving Texas
On the back of a Greyhound
He’s never been to Tulsa
But he’ll be there pretty soon now
William’s leaving Texas

Chorus:
If I were William
I’d leave Texas too

William’s on a big drunk
He’s letting it all hang out
He’s feeling those feelings
He thought he’d forgotten about
William’s on a big drunk

Chorus:
If I were William
I’d be on a big drunk too

William’s on a bender
It’s been a long time coming
He’s been holding it inside
As long as I’ve known him
William’s on a bender

Chorus:
If I were William
I’d be on a bender too

What I’m Talking About

What I’m Talking About

Stay with me for a while
Oh stay with me for a while
You can leave tomorrow
If you still want to go
So stay with me a while

Stay with me one more night
Oh stay with me one more night
You might not change your mind
But we’ll have a good time
So stay with me one more night

Chorus:
I’m tired of treating you bad
Tired of making you so mad
Baby we don’t have to scream and shout
Let me show you what I’m talking about

Stay because you want to
Oh stay because you want to
You’ve got some time to kill
And I’ll give you a thrill
So stay because you want to

Stay and let me show you
Oh stay and let me show you
This is my neighborhood
I’ll make you feel so good
So stay and let me show you

Chorus:
I’m tired of treating you mean
Tired of the same old bad scene
Baby we don’t have to scream and shout
Let me show you what I’m talking about

Watson Opportunity

Watson Opportunity

I dial up your number
And listen to it ring
I’ve got no claim on you
So it don’t mean a thing

Yet I sit in the dark
Listening to the dial tone
My fingers are so tired
Too much walking alone

Chorus:
I’m drinking and dialing and feeling so blue
At the end of the line that connects me to you
I’ve got so much to say, we don’t talk at all
You play it safe while the phone rings off the wall
I gambled my heart on you and me
Looking for a Watson opportunity
Looking for a Watson opportunity

I could go to your house
But I know what I’d find
Just one more sad story
At the end of the line

Chorus:
I’m drinking and dialing and feeling so blue
At the end of the line that connects me to you
I’ve got so much to say, we don’t talk at all
You play it safe while the phone rings off the wall
I gambled my heart on you and me
Looking for a Watson opportunity
Looking for a Watson opportunity

Bridge:
Won’t you please come here
I want to see you
So bad I can taste it
Another call unanswered
Another opportunity wasted

Chorus:
I’m drinking and dialing and feeling so blue
At the end of the line that connects me to you
I’ve got so much to say, we don’t talk at all
You play it safe while the phone rings off the wall
I gambled my heart on you and me
Looking for a Watson opportunity
Looking for a Watson opportunity
