Sister Hazel Album

There's been days I've fallen
And walked away the times I should have stayed.
I looked away, yeah looked away ... so far away -
and when you asked I said I'm not afraid.

BRIDGE

But now I can't hold it - hold it
Flash a frozen smile when it boils down inside.
No now I can't hold it - hold it
Just a little crack ...
And then the walls come tumblin' down

CHORUS

And I Feel It. It's my time don't try to steal it.
Feel it. Reach inside
Feel it. If you ask well I won't conceal it.
Feel it. I used to wonder but now I finally know ...

Papa said the sun it also rises.
But when I turn it's falling from the sky.
It slips away - yeah slips away So far away.
And leaves me staring only at the night.

BRIDGE
CHORUS

Watch the walls come tumblin' down ...

CHORUS

By simple definition I'd be scattered, Oh where do I begin
Well I'm stuck within the mortal framework
Of having to use words
And I ... - I've never been one -
I've never been one for incompleteness

BRIDGE

My attempts to say - never find their way nah uh
(All these things they escape me)
inconsistency is inconsistency within this conversation - yeah!


CHORUS

Sometimes: You know there's no limits and ...
Sometimes: I'm a mother, I'm a brother, I'm a lover and another ...
Sometimes: I'm scared - but sometimes I'm a hero ...
Sometimes: But mostly I'm just me!

In some regards I'd use the term eclectic
The merging of experience
And different points of view - oh yeah
Well I think, I learn, I listen and
I sift my way right through
And I ... - I'm always the one
I'm always the one with fascination - yeah ...

BRIDGE -- CHORUS -- REPEAT -- CHORUS

Finally I figured out
But it took a long, long time
But now there's a turnabout
Maybe 'cause I'm trying

There's been times, I'm so confused
All my roads, They lead to you
I just can't turn and walk away

It's hard to say what it is I see in you
Wonder if I'll always be with you
But words can't say, And I can't do
Enough to prove,
It's all for you

I thought I'd seen it all
'Cause it's been a long, long time
But then we'll trip and fall
Wondering if I'm blind
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)

Rain comes pouring down
Falling from blue skies
Words without a sound
Coming from your eyes

Finally I figured out
But it took a long, long time
But now there's a turnabout
Maybe cause I'm trying
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus-Chorus)

It's hard to say
It's hard to say
It's all for you

My aspiration grows and with it grows my pride.
No consolations just frustrations I don't mind.
I crossed a thousand rivers and never will I tire
But I'll walk away, I'll walk away, And take my test of time.

CHORUS

What's ahead That's for me to see and ...
What I am That's for me to be and ...
Where I go That's for me to know and ...
Now I lead And I will not follow.

My hands they bleed from the pounding on the door.
I fell face down and still I pounded on the floor.
My hear it hurts and my throat it's gettin' sore.
But I'll talk my way, I'll talk my way
And then I'll talk some more.

CHORUS

Tomorrow dawn it lights the way for me,
Down a road that goes on and on And on and on and on ...
Just survivin' it ain't the way to be.
Tried it once and it took it's toll on me.

He hesitated, never acted in the now.
I never waited, wiped the sweat off of my brow.
They congregated so I looked at them and bowed.
And I'll have my way, I'll have my way,
And never turn around.

CHORUS

When you were born you didn't know
You thought we were the same
You know we walked the same - we talked the same
Although you never knew my name
But you were told when we were young
That I was not the same
"You know he's not the same - he's not the same!"
And then you never asked my name ...

BRIDGE

I say won't you have a lovely day
And then you come back telling me to go to hell

CHORUS

But it's - One Nation indivisible
One Nation Indivisible
One Nation Indivisible - oh my God it's irresistable
One Nation Indivisible ...

Well a baby is a baby A man he is a man
You know he tries the same - he cries the same
And then you know he dies the same
But when I ask in disbelief
And they say "just because!"
You know I have to state - we learn to hate
And man you know I can't relate ... !

BRIDGE - CHORUS (repeat)

Don't know what I'm gonna make of this.
Feeling contemplative today.
I'm used to finding solace
In what I bought or what I thought but
That's not going to be satisfactory today.

CHORUS

Used to run and try to hide,
Today I'll stay and pick a side
And if I die well least I tried,
Yer standin' in my way...

Looked around this place to see where I belong.
Feel misunderstood again today.
It's such a strange sensation
Being my kind here in this time yeah.
But that's not cause for much But aggravation today.

CHORUS

Where was I - when Jimi kissed the sky?
And a Beatle said it's not too late to "Give peace a chance."
I survived The Brady Bunch, And the age of "let's do lunch"
Time is time - yeah time is time, Time and time again.

CHORUS - CHORUS

I know - some things
Well they don't feel right and I can't sit tight
Still there's some other things they can make you smile
they can make you high ...
Still there's some other things - make you turn your head
Make you change your direction If you check their worth
Well they're not too deep and you need some correction ...

CHORUS

I've got infatuation with the little things
They make me feel good - Why should I feel bad - ooh ...
I've got infatuation with the little things - little things
If you try you could; And then you won't be;
Feelin' that way no more no

Sun rise - moon rise
Well it all seems nice even though it's predictable
Take it - twist it - What's in my head is simply unrestrictable...

CHORUS - CHORUS (repeat)

Took a left turn at Albuquerque
You went north and I went south
It's just time so don't you worry, Hard to wait but patience pays

Open my door the cupboard's bare
It's hard to give when nothing's there
All this shit and such confusion, Tell myself it's not an illusion

CHORUS

We need some space between us
Take a deep breath, Clear my head
We need some space between us
Fall the wall, And build a bridge
We need some space between us
Don't go out and get a New thing
Hey - Hey - Hey

I've been here it's so familiar, Close the book I know the end
Want so much a different story, Want so much a different way

Just so much well its just so much
And I'm up too close and I just can't see
Tryin' to think before I answer
And I'm trying' to walk before I run

CHORUS - FIRST VERSE - CHORUS

Hey - Hey - Hey!

I'm far away from here if you look inside
You have a vacant stare
Say what you tryin' to hide

CHORUS

Gonna take my time
'Cause yer wastin' mine
And yer not too kind
And I don't think it's funny ... no.

I sit and watch the sky
It sometimes talks to me (talk to me)
You say you'd rather die
You say what's on the T.V. ... T.V.

CHORUS - CHORUS

(This is where we sing a bunch of "Ahhs")
I see a child cry Then calm a storm of tears
You say it's all a lie You say what's he got to fear
(He's just a little kid ... !)

Well we shared a season
Running through the fields
We never had a reason
To be scared of things
That were so unreal
Making our own stories
Playing our own games
We never had no worries
Never thought things
Would ever change

CHORUS

But I'm missin' you today -
Don't know why you went away

Times I sat and wondered
Nights we sat and cried
I'm proud to be your brother
No one knows how hard we tried
To make it to tomorrow
For just another day
There's never time to borrow
For things I'll never get to say ...

CHORUS

BRIDGE

So many days I'm searchin'
So many nights I'm left alone
Sometimes the song of the wind
Well it's -- only the warning for the storm

Moments turn to hours
Months they turn to years
It's different now without you
With your image crystal clear
The child was the teacher
A brother and a friend
A fragile little creature
Who'd do it all again and again

CHORUS - BRIDGE

Well we shared a season
Running through the Fields

Lyrics and Music by Sam Cooke

If you ever change your mind
About leavin', leavin' me behind
Oh, oh, bring it to me
Bring your sweet love
Bring it on home to me, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I know I laughed when you left
But now I know I've only hurt myself
Oh, oh, bring it to me
Bring your sweet love
Bring it on home to me, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I'll bring you jewellery, and money too
And that ain't all, that ain't all I'll do for you
Oh, oh, bring it to me
Bring your sweet love
Bring it on home to me, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

You know I'll always be your slave
Till I'm buried, buried in my grave
Oh, honey, bring it to me
Bring your sweet love
Bring it on home to me, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

One more thing I tried, to treat you right
But then you stayed out, you stayed out late at night
Oh, oh, bring it to me
Bring your sweet love
Bring it on home to me, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
