The Best of Life 02:52
lyrics
buy track
We were driving down into the city Gathering speed and life Over crossroads, by the railway station Singing to the night And as the radio played the street lights swayed And it seemed they were dancing along And we laughed out loud at the world around Cause the city was singing our song Oh life is better when we get together Cold or summer nights We build stories straight into the morning And that's The Best of Life We were singing around a blazing fire Late one Thursday night Sand surrounding all that's left of August By the firelight And as the radio played the campfire swayed And it seemed it was dancing along And we laughed out loud at the world around Cause tonight we were singing our song Oh life is better when we get together Cold or summer nights We build stories straight into the morning And that's The Best of Life You can spend your life just hiding in your walls But the world is here when the stone around you falls And as far as we can see I think we can all agree that Life is better when we get together Cold or summer nights We build stories straight into the morning And that's The Best of Life That's the Best of Life That's the Best of Life

Love Me Still 02:36

There's a reason for the way That the tides they keep on turning And the way our future's change And there is always another day And when I turn and see your face I know That's where my heart will stay So love me always Love Me Still If tomorrow passion's wilt Love me always Love Me Still Love Me Still There is summer and there is fall And there's a reason for the way you see The Beauty of It All And there is springtime after snow And as the seasons keep on changing Well my heart will always know To Love you always To love you still If tomorrow passions wilt I'll love you always Love you still Love Me Still I Love You In this youth we have today And I will Love You When our youth and beauty fade And in the night when I lay by your side I will sing this sweet lullaby Love me always Love Me Still If tomorrow all our youth and beauty wilt I'll love you always Love you still Love Me Still

Namesake 04:19
lyrics

Tuesday nights Sitting by the fireside Okay, it's just a candle I lit for you Wondering why I always end up crying Wishing I could ask you for your advice But your spirit's slowly dying And here by your candle I say a prayer That you will watch out for me up there 'Cause I am your Namesake and I proudly hold The name of a woman Who never grew old You lived a life Full of unstoppable drive The stories you would sing me Of the places you'd been Of Niagara Falls And all of the Inauguration Balls You gave to me your music so lovingly You brought out the city girl in me And here by your candle I say a prayer That you will watch out for me up there 'Cause I am your Namesake and I proudly hold The name of a woman Who never grew old And I want to thank you for your inspiration But mostly for a mother who is my salvation And here by your candle I say a prayer That you will watch out for me up there 'Cause I am your Namesake and I proudly hold The name of a woman Who never grew old

Where Are You Now 03:37
lyrics

One day you will want me and that day I will be gone Every day it haunts me that our lives just move right on No matter what the secrets and no matter what the pain We keep moving forward through the darkness, Through the rain One day you will realize that there's nothing there to fear And on the day you realize that you'll try to pull me near But God forbid our lives have led us down two separate roads You will wonder why it took so long for you to know Where Are You Now? And what keeps me from you? Please tell me how you wait so long I see it in your silence and I see it in your stare I see it in the way you leave an ease upon the air But all I have to give you are the words that I have said And all that you have given are the questions in my head Where Are You Now? And what keeps me from you? Please tell me how you wait so long I'm gone tomorrow But I'm here today Yes I'm gone tomorrow Unless you say Where Are You Now? And what keeps me from you? Please tell me how you wait so long

Remembering your face Rememb'ring your embrace Again Remembering your smile Rememb'ring all the miles I'd drive To be by your side And I Miss You Yes I Miss You Days change but I feel the same again Relaxing on the couch And laughing all about The day Your fingers through my hair Our shoes thrown everywhere And I know My heart will never go And I Miss You Yes I Miss You Days change but I feel the same again And I know it's the way that this must go But I know your heart It beats the same as mine And until you're home (Yeah Yeah Yeah) I will Miss You Yes I will Miss You Days change but I feel the same again

(Oh Susannah) I've come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee I've come to Louisiana my true love for to see It rained so hard the day I met The weather, it was dry The sun so hot I froze to death Susannah, don't you cry Oh Susannah, oh don't you cry for me Oh I've come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee I had a dream the other night when everything was still I thought I saw Susanna coming down the hill The buckwheat cake was in her mouth A tear was in her eye Says I, I'm coming from the south Susannah, don't you cry Oh Susannah, oh dont you cry for me Oh I've come from Alabama with a banjo on my kneww (Susanna) Give me a song A song that feels And give me a voice A voice that heals Yes give me a song to sing When the earth bends And give me the ear to hear where this story ends So I can Sing to Susanna Sing to Susanna For all that it's worth Sing to Susanna Sing to Susanna Whenever it hurts And she might just hear this song And she might just sing along Susanna I saw her walking down that hill And I keep on thinking that she will Yes I keep on thinking that she will walk right up to me But I know that she is where she chooses to be Oh Susanna Sing to Susanna Sing to Susanna To know what you're worth Sing to Susanna Sing to Susanna Come home when it hurts And I pray you'll hear this song Cause I know you'll sing along Susanna I've come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee I've come to Louisiana... I've come to set you free
