amos lee - colors

Yesterday I got lost in the circus
Felling like such a mess
Now I?m down I?m just hanging on the corner
I can?t help but reminisce
When you?re gone all the colors fade
When you?re gone no New Year?s Day parade
You?re gone
Colors seem to fade

Your mama called she said that you?re down stairs crying
Feeling like such a mess
Yeah I hear you you?re in the background bawling
What happened to your sweet summertime dress

I know we all, we all got our faults
We get locked in our vaults and we stay
But when you?re gone all the colors fade
When you?re gone no New Year?s Day parade
You?re gone
Colors seem to fade
Colors seem to fade
Yeah

amos lee - all my friends

All my friends
They all live in pain
Longing for the warmth of childhood to bring them home again
All my friends
They got broken hearts
And if the world?s a stage we?re searching for our parts

We?ll face the winds that break the strongest of trees
Beckon for the sweet soft summer breeze

All my friends
They got broken wings
Never will you hear them asking why the caged bird sings
All my friends
They know how to live
Oh, so much sorrow and so much love to give

We?ll face the winds that break the strongest of trees
Beckon for the sweet soft summer breeze

Now we all know that the storm is coming
Every body wants to know which way to go
I see the crowds a running
The wind?s gonna blow

All my friends are dear to me
Oh when the storm comes they?re as close as family
All my friends are the ones I choose
Oh, if I hear them knockin?
You know I can?t refuse

We?ll face the winds that break the strongest of trees
Beckon for the sweet soft summer breeze

All my friends

amos lee - arms of a woman

I am at ease in the arms of a woman
although now most of my days are spent alone
a thousand miles from the place I was born
But when she wakes me she takes me back home

Now most days I spend like a child
who?s afraid of ghosts in the night
I know there ain?t nothing out there
I?m still afraid to turn on the light

I am at ease in the arms of a woman
although now most of my days are spent alone
a thousand miles from the place I was born
but when she wakes me she takes me back home

A thousand miles from the place I was born
But when she wakes me she takes me back home

I am at ease in the arms of a woman
although now most of my days are spent alone
a thousand miles from the place I was born
when she wakes me she takes me
Yeah, when she wake me she takes me
Yeah, when she wake me she takes me back home

When she wake me she takes me back home

amos lee - better days

the darkness has always been,
the world was born
Into a blanket of sin,
when all the faith's been gone,
still we found
A reason to carry on,
through the worrry, worry, worry,
caught in an endless maze
oh when the lights go out,
all i can think about,
is how
We've seen better days

oh lover lately
i've been thinkin
i might leave you,
as you're surrounded
By these fools
Who do decieve you,
yes our past is wretched true,
but i'm still in love with you,
thats why i am still refusin
To give in to
all this worry, worry, worry
caught in an endless maze,
but when the lights go out,
all i can think about,
is how, we've seen better days

where do we go from here
while we're all
So consumed by feer
why im trying not to be
Suspiscious
Of those im suspicious of,
I'm tryin to crackopen
This angry heart
And find a little love,
still i worry, worry, worry,
caught in an endless maze,
still when the lights go out,
all that i can think about
Is how we've seen better days,

oh when the lights go out,
all i can dream about,
is how, we've seen better days

amos lee - bottom of the barrel

I keep on laughing to keep from crying
I keep on dreaming to keep from dying
I keep on trying
Ain?t gonna stop
Get right down to the bottom of the barrel
And then you float back on top

We all know someone who?s always hurtin?
The sun is shining they draw the curtain
One thing for certain
The pain ain?t gonna stop

You get right down to the bottom of the barrel
And then you float back on top

You know the grass is always s greener in someone else?s yard
And the world is so much meaner when your heart is hard

I go out walking in any season
It could be rainin? it could be freezin?
I don?t need no reason
It?s just so pleasing I can?t stop

You get right down to the bottom of the barrel
And then you float back on top
You get right down to the bottom of the barrel
And then you float back on top

amos lee - careless

You speak of love, but you ain't no lover
you were a friend, more like a brother

as the miles pass beneath me
the sounds made so sweetly came to an end
no man can deny her but now you're a liar
and you've no room left to defend

when i left i should have known better
of the kind of man that you are, you'd have to get her

and i know you got a lot of pain that's born inside you
but instead of growing stronger, you let it divide you, oh

how could you be so careless?
how could you be so careless?

and the waves that are crashing, true lives of passion washin on your shore
yes sir life has been costin true love's been lost and i can't get back anymore

and i'm sure that we both still both love her
and it's a shame we both lost her and in time lost eachother
but a trust has been broken and words have been spoken but you can mend
and no man can deny her and as you laid beside her i hope it felt good my friend

how could you be so careless?
how could you be so careless?
how could you be so careless with her heart?

amos lee - clear blue eyes

When I look into your clear blue eyes,
I could cry, I could cry.
When I think of what they?ve put you through,
You know it tears me up inside.

Left alone in your darkest night,
By the one you trustiest most.
How come they expect you to,
Be such a gratuitous host

When you look upon that heart of shame
Now I have to face,
All these accusations and questions that are
? your disgrace

Now you are left in the darkest night
By the ones you trust the most
But now just follow blind ambition
Like a promise of unknown costs

When I look into your clear blue eyes
I could cry, I could cry
When I think of what they put you through
You know it tears me up inside
You know it tears me up inside
You know it tears me up inside

amos lee - dreamin

My soul is as open as the sky
Often time it?s just as blue
People tell me to keep on dreaming
That?s just what I?m gonna do

Now everybody want to treat me like a house fly
Turn me around and tell me to shoo
They want to tell me to keep on dreaming
That?s just what I?m gonna do

Every moral has a story
Every hand needs a glove
Sometime it?s for the glory
Ah, but mostly, it?s for the love
It?s the love
It?s the love
It?s the love that pulls me through
So when they tell me to keep on dreaming
That?s just what I?m gonna do

That?s just what I?m gonna do

amos lee - ease back

Hello
It's good to see you
Coming back again
It's been a long time
Since
I sat with you
My friend

I'll lend an ear
It's not that so severe
Time has killed the pain
And dried up every tear

And now
I'm thinking bout
What went, down
All the heartache
I laughed away
Just like a clown

And now
Sit around talking
Drink some wine
I'm really glad
You stopped in
Spend some time
You sit around talking
Thinking bout the past
It's funny how it lingers
But nothings meant to last

And my Ma
She'd like to say hello
But shes a little scared
That I can't let it go
So let on, ease back
Brother
And let it slip away
I'm tired of hanging onto
The pains of yesterday

Once again
The money is so thick
It makes your heart go numb
It makes your mind get sick

So come on by
Stay
And talk about it
Drink some wine
I'm really glad
You stopped in
Brother of mine
We'll sit
Around talking
Drink some wine
And maybe
By the morning
Everything is fine
Everything is fine
Ease back, brother
Let this clear
Your mind

Come on by
And drink yourself
A good time
Have some wine
And think about each other
Sister and I are fine
Yes, I've been alright now
Take it lightly
Step on out the front door
I'll see you in some time

amos lee - el camino

Well all my friends treated me so well
You know I'm headed out to that Mission Bell
Gonna wash my soul, gonna get it clean
Heading down the border road called the El Camino

Well I've been a prince and you know I've been a post
By a barb wire fence and a murder of crows
I believe in all I've loved and all I have seen
Heading down the border road called the El Camino
Heading down the border road called the El Camino

Yeah my hearts grown sick,
I've got a shepherds crook as a walking stick
And I'm heading on.
My hearts gone blue and I've done wrong by you
I don't know what to do
But I'm moving on, said I'm moving on

One and one is two, two and two is four

I'm walking back and forth
On your cracked tiled kitchen floor
With the orange juice and the sun that shines
It really breaks my heart leaving you behind,
It really breaks my heart leaving you behind

And all my ships have sailed away
The price of this politic,
That there's plenty of time to prayer
And plenty of time to waste away.

Well to all my friends, that I've loved the most
You know I'm heading out to that other coast
I'm going to wash my soul, and I'm gonna get it clean
Heading down the border road, called the El Camino,
Heading down the border road, called the El Camino.

amos lee - flower

My heart is a flower
That blooms every hour
I believe in the power
Of love

Well in this lonesome meadow
Well it's soft as a pillow
Oh I pray that we'll go back
To Love

I'm going to reach on up over that fear
I'm never alone won't you please be near
I know that darkness before the dawn
Tomorrow's coming and yesterday's gone

I'm going to get my baby,
Get up stream
Fall asleep in her arms
And drift away in a dream

Gonna go out walking in the morning light
Well I know that my tomorrow's gonna be alright
Gonna be alright

Well I never shall wither
Well of course I forgive her
Oh please Lord deliver me

To love

I'm going to reach on up over that fear
I'm never alone won't you please be near
I know that darkness before the dawn
Tomorrow's coming and yesterday's gone

I'm going to get my baby,
Get up stream
Fall asleep in her arms
And drift away in a dream

Gonna go out walking in the morning light
Well I know that my tomorrow's gonna be alright
Gonna be alright
Gonna be alright
Gonna be alright

Yeah
My heart is a flower
That blooms every hour
I believe in the power
I believer in the power
Of love, love...of love

amos lee - freedom

Don't wanna be a martyr in this war
Don't wanna hear the same excuses anymore
That everything's a threat and it's only gonna get wose if we let it

Don't wanna blame the rich for what they got
Don't point a finger at the poor for what they have not
Though the politician and the priest live in the belly of the beast because we fed it

Freedom is seldom found by beatin someone to the ground
Tellin em how everything is gonna be now, yeah,

Now if the tables were turned tell me how you would feel
Somebody busted up into your house tellin you to stay still
While the leaders will deny defeat the innocent they testify by dyin in the street

Freedom is seldom found by beatin someone to the ground
Tellin em how everything is gonna be
Freedom is seldom found by beatin someone to the ground
Tellin em how everything is gonna be now

amos lee - give it up

I?ve been waiting a long time
I was just hoping I might find
Ah, the right kind of lover for me

Well you know I?ve been lonesome
God knows we all been lonesome
Some people think being lonesome really means being free

But, I would give it all up for you
Yes I would give it all up for you
Yes I would give it up
Settle down
Stop looking around
I finally found something true

We live in a world full of confusion
A culture based in illusion
Ah, some people think it?s amusing
But its really just fantasy

I would give it up for you
Yes I would give t all up for you
Yes I would give it up
Settle down
Stop looking around
I finally found
Ah, yeah

I would give it all
I would give it all up for you now baby
I would give it all
I would give it all
It would give it all up for you now baby
