Counting Crows "Anna Begins"
My friend assures me "it's all or nothing" I am not worried- I am not overly concerned My friend implores me " for one time only, make an exception." I am not worried Wrap her up in a package of lies Send her off to a coconut island I am not worried - I am not overly concerned with the status of my emotions "oh", She says, "you're changing." But we're always changing It does not bother me to say this isn't love Because if you don't want to talk about it then it isn't love and I guess I'm going to have to live with that but, I'm sure there's something in a shade of gray or something in between and I can always change my name if that's what you mean My friend assures me "it's all or nothing` But I am not really worried I am not overly concerned You try to tell your self the things you try tell your self to make yourself forget to make your self forget I am not worried "If it's love" she said, "then we're gonna have to think about the consequences" She can't stop shaking and I can t stop touching her and..... This time when kindness falls like rain It washes her away and Anna begins to change her mind "these seconds when I'm shaking leave me shuddering for days" she says. And I'm not ready for this sort of thing But I'm not gonna break And I'm not going to worry about it anymore I'm not gonna bend. And I'm not gonna break and I'm not gonna worry about it anymore It seems like I should say "as long as this is love..." But it's not all that easy so maybe I should just snap her up in a butterfly net- Pin her down on a photograph album I am not worried I've done this sort of thing before But then I start to think about the consequences Because I don't get no sleep in a quiet room and... The time when kindness falls like rain It washes me away and Anna begins change my mind And every time she sneezes I believe it's love and oh lord.... I'm not ready for this sort of thing She s talking in her sleep-it s keeping me awake And Anna begins to toss and turn And every word is nonsense but I understand and and oh lord. I m not ready for this sort of thing Her kindness bangs a gong It's moving me along and Anna begins to fade away It s chasing me away. She dissappears, and oh lord I'm not ready for this sort of thing

"Sometimes When We Touch" by Dan Hill You ask me if I love you And I choke on my reply I'd rather hurt you honestly Than mislead you with a lie And who am I to judge you On what you say or do? I'm only just beginning to see the real you
And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much And I have to close my eyes and hide I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
Romance and all its strategy Leaves me battling with my pride But through the insecurity Some tenderness survives I'm just another writer Still trapped within my truth A hesitant prize fighter Still trapped within my youth
And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much And I have to close my eyes and hide I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
At times I'd like to break you And drive you to your knees At times I'd like to break through And hold you endlessly
At times I understand you And I see how hard you've tried I've watched while love commands you And I've watched love pass you by
At times I think we're drifters Still searching for a friend A brother or a sister But then the passion flares again
And sometimes when we touch The honesty's too much And I have to close my eyes and hide I wanna hold you til I die Til we both break down and cry I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

I've heard that song before it's very beautiful. I never really noticed the lyrics (it's been at least a few years since I've heard it) and now it just makes it much more beautiful.

"100 Years" by Five For Fighting I'm 15 for a moment Caught in between 10 and 20 And I'm just dreaming Counting the ways to where you are
I'm 22 for a moment She feels better than ever And we're on fire Making our way back from Mars
15 there's still time for you Time to buy and time to lose 15, there's never a wish better than this When you only got 100 years to live
I'm 33 for a moment Still the man, but you see I'm a they A kid on the way A family on my mind
I'm 45 for a moment The sea is high And I'm heading into a crisis Chasing the years of my life
15 there's still time for you Time to buy, Time to lose yourself Within a morning star
15 I'm all right with you 15, there's never a wish better than this When you only got 100 years to live
Half time goes by Suddenly you're wise Another blink of an eye 67 is gone The sun is getting high We're moving on...
I'm 99 for a moment Dying for just another moment And I'm just dreaming Counting the ways to where you are
15 there's still time for you 22 I feel her too 33 you're on your way Every day's a new day...
15 there's still time for you Time to buy and time to choose Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this When you only got 100 years to live

"More Than Anyone Deserves" By LeAnn Rimes (Written by LeAnn Rimes and Ron Grimes)
If I woke up tomorrow And my eyes could not see In darkness there'd be beauty Of the love you shown to me
Cause I love longer and wider Deeper and higher Cause I've been loved More than anyone deserves
If tomorrow for some reason Somehow I could not hear In silence there'd be music Of a love that's always here
Cause I love longer and wider Deeper and higher Cause I've been loved More than anyone deserves
And if I woke up in heaven And I could not feel your touch Then I want to be your angel And I love you just as much
Cause I love longer and wider Deeper and higher Cause I've been loved
I've been loved I've been loved More than anyone deserves

Very beautiful lyrics! I'm not very familiar with LeAnn Rimes, but the songs you have posted are great, and I will have to check her out. Thanks!

"Yahweh" by U2 Take these shoes
Click clacking down some dead end street
Take these shoes
And make them fit
Take this shirt
Polyester white trash made in nowhere
Take this shirt
And make it clean, clean
Take this soul
Stranded in some skin and bones
Take this soul
And make it sing
Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, Yahweh
Still I'm waiting for the dawn
Take these hands
Teach them what to carry
Take these hands
Don't make a fist
Take this mouth
So quick to criticise
Take this mouth
Give it a kiss
Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, Yahweh
Still I'm waiting for the dawn
Still waiting for the dawn, the sun is coming up
The sun is coming up on the ocean
This love is like a drop in the ocean
This love is like a drop in the ocean
Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, tell me now
Why the dark before the dawn?
Take this city
A city should be shining on a hill
Take this city
If it be your will
What no man can own, no man can take
Take this heart
Take this heart
Take this heart
And make it break (this is the last song on U2's latest album, "How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb" ......and a prayer I'm not afraid to make.)

"You Take Me Home" By LeAnn Rimes (Written by LeAnn Rimes, Dennis Matkosky, Craig Wiseman)
I was blinded by the city lights L.A. livin' up the crazy life Lookin' back on how far I'd come Not quite sure what I was runnin' from
A million miles away from the world I knew Who'd ever thought it'd lead me back to you
You take me to Front porch swings Mama singin' "Cheatin' Heart" Yeah what a rush Catchin' lightnin' bugs in a mason jar You take me to County fairs Bedtime prayers Old wooden rockin' chairs And all the things I loved I thought were gone You take me home You take me home
Took a while to finally come around And seperate all that was lost and found If there's one thing by now I better know The grass ain't greener where it doesn't grow
I needed someone who would love me like you do To lead me back to the simple truth
You take me to Front porch swings Mama singin' "Cheatin' Heart" Yeah what a rush Catchin' lightnin' bugs in a mason jar You take me to County fairs Bedtime prayers Old wooden rockin' chairs And all the things I loved I thought were gone You take me home
Summer heat Life so sweet And dancin' on daddy's feet And all the things I loved I thought were gone You take me home You take me home You take me home You take me home You take me home

Excellent! I'm going to have to look into getting some LeAnn Rimes! I grew up in the country and now live and have lived in the city for some time. How very true! "You can take the boy out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the boy!"

"Logical Song" by Supertramp
When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful, a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical. And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily, joyfully, playfully watching me. But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible, logical, responsible, practical. And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable, clinical, intellectual, cynical.
There are times when all the world's asleep, the questions run too deep for such a simple man. Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned I know it sounds absurd but please tell me who I am.
Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical, liberal, fanatical, criminal. Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're acceptable, respecable, presentable, a vegtable!
At night, when all the world's asleep, the questions run so deep for such a simple man. Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned I know it sounds absurd but please tell me who I am.

Wow! That song is so true. Especially the second verse, if you go against what the mainstream says you are an outsider but if you go with the mainstream you are accepted but yet you are just another of a crowd. Thanks a lot for sharing.
