Like a folk singer's song,
I'm moving on
And I'm not the kind of man that acts very strong
When the girls are looking on
When the gir...

Cold Hands
brendan benson

Cold hands, warm heart
We just need some time apart
And everything will be okay

Oh no, not again
Why does it always happen...

You'll be sorry the next time you see me
You'll eat your hat, I promise you that
I'll say i told you so and you'll nod your head
I'll feel so powerful...

Maybe if I lay real still
It will go away, maybe it will

Maybe this I won't budge
Maybe I just need a little nudge

Maybe this time I won't flinch

Little lamb that you are
Now you've wandered too far
And you can't find your car

You don't know where you've been
When the night closes in
You feel i...

Well you love me and I love you
So what's the problem?

And I'm near the bottom?

Whenever you feel me slipping aw...

I'm just tryin' to get something started.
Been so low and so downhearted.
Haven't seen my friends in awhile
and I never laugh and hardly ever smile.

In that fleeting moment,in between day and night,well they come on all fours.
They bark and they bite.
Brothers bound by blood.
Lovers living in fear....

Keep me busy, baby.
Keep me satisfied.
Keep me coming back for more.
Keep me on a leash.
Keep me close at heart.
Keep me face down on the floor.

Crank it up for me.
Uncover your ears.
You might notice something.
Because of all of your liesover your years.
You've been missing something.
You've b...

Any clown can make her laugh.
We know that.
Not any clown knows howto make a good thing last.
And it's, ohh, ooohhhooaaait's right there within reach....

I wish I could sleeplike a baby does.
I wish I could seewhat you're dreaming of.
I wanna run, 
I wanna runbut 
I got no traction.
So I kick and

Thought I had it all figured out
I knew I was talking about
Never had to worry
You were you
And I was me
Whatever made me happy
Everything came easy

Well, I'm afraid that it's true
I'm leaving you.
But rest assuredtomorrow 
I'll be home.
Cuz you know 
I never could,
I never was no good,
Lord knows,...

I cry myself asleep tonight
cause I can not hold you tight
I wish I could see you tomorrow
To take all this sorrow
When I touch you
Can you feel it
Wh...

You won't have to borrow
And you won't have to beg
Not likely to follow
Not so easily lead
And it could be the worst time
And it happens so fast
But i...

Find yourself a girl and settle down
Live a simple life in a quiet town
Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
Steady as she goes (steady as she goes...

I don't wanna see you anymore.
I've walked a whole straight through the floor.
Waitin' on someone who in fact, ain't never coming back.
It doesn't rea...

She wrote to me and said in a letter
That she wanted to see if she could do better
She thought that she could if I only I'd let her
And that's where s...
