so give love
preacher miss your name
while loving me this speed i walk
won't ya get to the loving
made no major to me your
won't you give it to lighten
like sucking on a dry stick for love
where there's none there to have

there's nothing there to have

walls and reason walk away
won't you give it to lighten
how about a reason
bathed i walk away
rain on baby to read
you're covered in his grace
trying to sell it for a good buck of love
well you're stupid and insane

bought then tossed away
girl what you got no prison in your head
oh no better than this
deal all the best you miss

rain all rain here
for the lonely round
i said i have the numbers and
i've got you over the top of things
oh no leave you
all of your hands around high head
fall away as you
as you know you're blushing
oh what do you see through

walled and fall line out
suckle it down your hair
red room bigs and busy boys gone wrong
no mama he is a mess
crave he layed all to rope your
won't you go there now
i mean to be tied up with you
well that's the hell i have

the hell i have

oh read the lonely
jesus is a go
blind and read it
moldy like a ghost
oh i lay this for me
oh won't give it a light
man loves all love songs
and then fools God has got to go

bought then tossed away
refuse to let the girl find her own way
bought then tossed away
no forgiveness for the vain

oh i lay here
no place under the sun
oh a better place to take you
oh man i lead you down, down
and all i had to wonder
was all i had to display, display, display
come on leave here
oh all i have is all my love that i give to you

lady lovey
oh would you give your life
wanna laid of honey
won't ya give a sound
rain man bought us read now
won't ya give him a life
tied tucked with a big stick and hung now
never give your thoughts

bought then tossed away
girls are better than nothing doing
bought then tossed away
girl forgiveness not for vain

run away here
i'll have you back
i have you back now lay here
run a long way
oh run away love stay here
oh i leave go
down, down till around, round
all that not forsaken
but still you're quite a girl i'm sure
there's nothing there for you

bought then tossed away
yeah i said you
Raven
main lyrics
"What you got? what you got in your hand?" father said to son
"I got the whole world here, Daddy, 'tween my fingers and my thumb
"will you take care of it, please? it's the only one"
"well, it'd take me a lifetime, old man, to undo what you done"
undo what you done

"Oh, come on, now, boy, think, what would Jesus do?"
"he'd shake his head like a angry mother," spoke the boy
"and say I did what I could do"
"but you take care of it, please, like it's the only one you got
and it'd take ten lifetimes, boy, to undo what I've done"

Boy shrugged, walked away
the man stood and watched as he was leaving
boy just walked away
the man stood alone thinking

One hand is bleeding and the other hand holds the gun
while everything is open, oh, everything is shut down, down, down
begin to ending is really just a go round and round and round
and as I stand here, the ground beneath is nothing more than one point of view

What you got? what you got in your head? your secret's safe with me
well, I found the truth, friend, let me whisper in your ear
take good care of it, please, it's the only one there is
can I twist it, please? can I give it just a little twist?

Boy shrugged, walked away
the man stood and watched that boy misgiving
boy just walked away
the man stood there twisting

One hand is bleeding, oh, as the other hand holds the gun
everything is open, now, everything is shut down, down, down
no one is holding even if you, even if you're sure
you never know it all, the ground beneath is nothing more than my point of view

Boy shrugged, walked away
the man stood and watched the boy as leaving
boy just walked away
man stood there twisting

One hand is open and the other hand holds the gun
well, everything is open, oh, is everything coming down, down, down?
no one is holding, oh, even if you're, even if you know
you never know it all, but nothing more than, nothing more than my point of view

Boy shrugged, walked away
the man stood and watched as he was leaving
the man just stood there twisting
