Hard Way to Learn

Fourteen days I saw you run
Over the hills and into the sun
Little baby sleeping on a back porch stair
God knows how you found the heart to leave her there
And it’s a hard way to learn
Two weeks more on the sidewalk scene
Tender-hearted girl with a smile so lean
Tell me how your bright ideal
Measures up to a life so real
Fourteen nights ‘neath a waning moon
Old regrets will be fading soon
Midnight girl sits up alone
Writing one last letter home.

Like You Do

Wish I could forget the words you said
Wish I could forget where you lay your head
Time keeps spinning round me like a clock
Your voice inside my head don’t ever stop
So many things I meant to say
Somehow I forgot.
You never knew me
I only showed you what I wanted to
Been saving all the rest for someone who
Won’t make me nervous like you do
Like you do.
The other day I met a girl
Who seemed like she was living in your world
She sang a song that sounded strange to me
Like sailing on an unfamiliar sea
I raised my voice to sing
But I started out of key.

On the Other Side

I was walking down a dark highway
When the Lord shone down with the light of day and said
“Lay down your troubles on the other side.”
The river runs dark and the river runs deep
And the road to heaven is long and steep
Gonna lay down my troubles on the other side.
On the other side, other side
Going home with Jesus as my guide.
The river runs dark and the river runs deep
And the road to heaven is long and steep
Gonna lay down my troubles on the other side.
When the trumpet sounds got no need to worry
‘Cause I’m going home to live in glory
Gonna lay down my troubles on the other side.
Earthly chains gonna melt away when Jesus brings me home to stay
Gonna lay down my troubles on the other side.

Winter is gone
And the leaves are green
Winter is gone
And the leaves turn green
Your innocent face
I wish I never had seen
Come, my love
Fare thee well
Come, my love
Fare thee well
You cheated me
But I wish you well
Rope is bought
O'er the bough is swung
Rope is bought
O'er the bough is swung
An innocent man
This day will be hung
Come, my love
See me die
Come, my love
See me die
See me dancing
Dancing 'neath the sky
'Neath the gallows high
Come on and see me die
