Live [Rounder] lyrics

When the mornin' sun
Streaks across my room
And I'm wakin' up
From another dream of you
When I'm on the road
Once again it seems
All that's left behind
Is a chain of broken dreams
But you know that I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, I love you.

How I wish that love
Was all we'd need to live
What a life we'd have
'Cause I've got so much to give
But it seems so cold
Down inside my heart

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way !

O sisters let's go down,
Let's go down, come on down,
O sisters let's go down,
Down in the river to pray.

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way !

When years seem like days to me
No time on my hands
I run away to a place in me
To a faraway land.

When home seems so far from me
Heaven's lights look dim
It's just as far as my deepest heart
Where my heart's Father lives.

His quiet voice speaking in silence everyday
If I will only listen to the words He has to say
I'll walk in His Spirit, see Him in my face

its been a long time coming
as you shed a lonesome tear
now your in a wonderama
I wonder what your doing here

the flame no longer flickers
youre feeling just like a fool
you keep staring into your liquor
Im wondering what to do

I dont hardly know you
but Id be willing to show you
I know a way to make you smile
let me touch you for a while

Im gonna ruin my black mascara

Don't chose me because I am faithful
Don't choose me because I am kind
If your heart settles on me
I'm for the taking
Take me for longing or leave me behind.

I would be, for you, a fire in a rainbow
I would be, for you, an opening door
Time and hard lessons are one kind of wisdom
Try to forget them or love me no more.

--- Instrumental ---

I'm not asking your heart to believe me

Tell You a little story and it won't take long,
'Bout a lazy farmer who wouldn't hoe his corn.
The reason why I never could tell,
That young man was always well.

He planted his corn in the month of June.
By July it was up to his eyes.
Come September, came a big frost.
And all the young man's corn was lost.

His story, kith, had just begun.
Said: "Young man, have you hoed some corn?"

You're the lucky one
So I've been told
As free as the wind,
Blowin' down the road
Loved by many, hated by none
I'd say you're lucky
'Cause I know what you've done
Not a care in the world
Not a worry in sight
Everything's gunna be alright
'Cause you're the lucky one.

You're the lucky one
Always havin' fun
A jack of all trades a master of none
You look at the world with a smilin' eye

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word, you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing.

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me where ever I fall
You say it best, when you say nothing at all.
