Delta Rae Lyrics

EP: A Long And Happy Life (2017)

A Long And Happy Life lyrics - Delta Rae

I was born to a family of jokers

Gamblers and smokers living on the line

I was raised by strong-headed women

Men who tested limits and did a little time

And it ain't a mystery you fell for me

We're just two lost souls trying to find our peace

Love like ours ain't a masterpiece

It's a good day in the sun

I was born to love you

Out where the water is wide

Make me your country bride

You'll be my prince of tides

You were born to heal me

Under a velvet sky

Cattails dancing in the light

We were born to live a long and happy life

A happy life

Yeah, folks like us

We may lie down in darkness

But we don't lose our sparks; we bring back a good story to tell

Cause we grew up around beauty

Sunsets better than a movie

We knew it was our appointed duty to love like the world might end

And to toast to good nights with friends

I was born to love you

Out where the water is wide

Make me your country bride

You'll be my prince of tides

You were born to heal me

Under a velvet sky

Cattails dancing in the light

We were born to live a long and happy life

A happy life

Hey, a happy life

And it comes to me in waves

Like the shores of Palmetto Bay

Knowing I'm so lucky

Your broken heart could love me

I was born to love you

Out where the water is wide

Make me your country bride

You'll be my prince of tides

You were born to heal me

Under a velvet sky

Cattails dancing in the light

We were born to live a long and happy life

A happy life

Hey, a happy life

Happy life

I Moved South lyrics - Delta Rae

I lived in California; I was working in Manhattan

My life was very busy, yeah, but nothing ever happened

I wanted to make music and to show the world my soul

So I moved down south where they still play rock and roll

I always wanted summer; I was tired of the snow

I wanna find a lover where the sweet magnolias grow

Yeah, there's something in the water, on the shores of Muscle Shoals

So I moved down south where they still play rock and roll

I moved south where the grass is green

I moved south where my friends take care of me

Yeah, there's beauty in the valley and good people in the city

But I moved down south where the music moves me

Yeah, I moved down south where the music moves me

I met up with my brothers and I made a couple more

Bought a van that smelled like Armor All and we took it out on tour

From Atlanta to Seattle, we sang gospel and soul

And we'll go to any city where they still play rock and roll

And we go back home where the sweet magnolias grow

I moved south where the grass is green

I moved south where my friends take care of me

Yeah, there's beauty in the valley and good people in the city

But I moved down south where the music moves me

I moved south where the grass is green

I moved south where my friends take care of me

Yeah, there's beauty in the valley and good people in the city

But I moved down south where the music moves me

Yeah, I moved down south where the music moves me

No Peace In Quiet lyrics - Delta Rae

My friends are always over so I'm not alone

And the TV's on the second that they leave

Ghosts don't stand a chance against the radio

That's why I turn the music up to sleep

Cause there's no peace in quiet

Just footsteps on the stairs

Whispers in the silence

Remind me you're not there

There's no peace in quiet

Tonight, I'll lay down knowing you're not coming home

Then I'll swear I hear your keys outside my door

And I'll hate myself for checking as if I don't know

That it's just the wind chimes on the neighbor's porch

Cause there's no peace in quiet

Just footsteps on the stairs

Whispers in the silence

Remind me you're not there

There's no peace in quiet

I hear you standing in the shower

Hear you breathing in my bed

But there's nothing I hear louder

Than the words I never said

Cause there's no peace in quiet

Just footsteps on the stairs

Whispers in the silence

Remind me you're not there

There's no peace in quiet

There's no peace

Ain't Love lyrics - Delta Rae

Clock buzzes, it's 6:00 AM

I know this morning is not my friend

You came home in a fix last night

I told you "baby, I don't wanna fight"

And I know it's easy

A broken heart looks good on me

And I know you mean it

But I won't believe you til you're almost screaming

Oh, baby, were we both born sick?

Ain't love til it hurts like this

Oh, baby, were we both born sick?

Cause it ain't love til it hurts like this

Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love

Ain't love til it hurts like this

Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love

It ain't love til it hurts like this

We only share the happy pictures we take

We put a filter on our own heartache

The evening comes like an unpaid bill

Just say the words, darling, break this spell

And I know it's true

Ooh, a broken heart looks good on you

Yeah, I know that's enough

Hey, let's make it worth it, spend the whole night making love

Oh, baby, were we both born sick?

Ain't love til it hurts like this

Oh, baby, were we both born sick?

Cause it ain't love til it hurts like this, no

Oh, baby, were we both born sick?

Ain't love til it hurts like this

Oh, baby, were we both born sick?

Ain't love til it hurts like this

You, you make me feel

Like gold, white heat, black velvet

And you, you got the touch to heal me

But it ain't enough

Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love

Ain't love til it hurts like this

Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love

Ain't love til it hurts like this

Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love

Ain't love til it hurts like this

Ain't love, ain't love, ain't love

Ain't love til it hurts like this

Anthem lyrics - Delta Rae

Am I always on the edge of quitting?

Giving up and just forgetting

Everything I ever stood up for,

The love that I have always lurked for?

The lions and the lambs are fighting

Waking up and reigniting

But I don't wanna fight their old war

Give me something I can hope for

Run lyrics - Delta Rae

We're gonna rob the banks and feel no shame

Burn our fingers and change our names

And I'll tame the roads that can't be tamed

With you

Then we'll race like falcons to crash and burn

Learn the lessons we never learned

If you kiss me harder, some day I'll turn

To you

I want to run

To feel again

To be no one

To run under the stars of Orion

And all my life I've been burdened by the dreams I've had

Now I want to run

I want to run

So let's paint our bodies and chase the sky

The Earth will shake and we'll wonder why

But if I never know, well, at least I'll lie

With you

I want to run

To feel again

To be no one

To run under the stars of Orion

And all my life I've been burdened by the dreams I've had

Now I want to run

I want to run

I want to

Outlaws lyrics - Delta Rae

Baby we can be magic

Pack your bags because we leave tonight

I've got something to show you

Wrap your arms 'round my waist so tight

Let that hunger control you

Our parents won't understand

They don't know we might not last the day

We ought to make a stand

Holding out for another way

[Chorus:]

Don't you know that we're outlaws?

Giving the finger to death itself

We got no one to hide from

We got no one to toast our health

Rules were meant to be pushed and pulled

We were meant to be sparks of light

Running now with the raging bulls

Baby we can be magic tonight

Ever since I was ten years old

You know that I could feel it

Gasoline coursing through my soul

Light me up like a spirit

Our friends they won't understand

They can't feel all the lust inside our eyes

We ought to make a stand

Holding out for a new sunrise

[Chorus:]

Don't you know that we're outlaws?

Giving the finger to death itself

We got no one to hide from

We got no one to toast our health

Rules were meant to be pushed and pulled

We were meant to be sparks of light

Running now with the raging bulls

Baby we can be magic tonight

Baby we can be magic (Oh)

[Chorus:]

Don't you know that we're outlaws?

Giving the finger to death itself

We got no one to hide from

We got no one to toast our health

Rules were meant to be pushed and pulled

We were meant to be sparks of light

Running now with the raging bulls

Baby we can be magic tonight

Baby we can be magic (Oh)

The Dream lyrics - Delta Rae

I have the dream, always the same

I was in white and falling

Pretty red rose pinned to my clothes

I had the dream as always

Scared lyrics - Delta Rae

Remember when you said you loved me?

Remember when you said that it would all work out?

We packed up and we left one morning

And everything you promised didn't happen, and now

I'm swirling softly

Drifting like the cream in your coffee

And you're talking calmly

When I'm scared

To be on our own

When the thrill is gone

And I'm scared

Thinking what we've done

To try to love someone

Baby can you keep your promise?

Baby can I keep you honest?

Cause I'm scared

There's nothing in the sky above me

There's nothing strung below us, baby, if we fall

We're caught between a spark and lightning

We're caught between forever and nothing at all

And I'm sorry, I love you

But even those words are getting see-through

And I'm losing it all to this feeling, baby

I'm scared

To be on our own

When the thrill is gone

And I'm scared

Thinking what we've done

To try to love someone

Baby can you keep your promise?

Baby can I keep you honest?

Cause I'm scared

When you say you love me

(I'm scared)

Are we ever gonna be okay?

When you say you love me

(I'm scared)

Are we ever really gonna feel safe?

When you say you love me

(I'm scared)

Is there something I can say?

When you say you love me

(I'm scared)

Is it better if I walk away?

When you say you love me?

Cause I'm scared

To be on our own

And I'm scared

Thinking what we've done

Baby can you keep your promise?

Baby can I keep you honest?

Cause I'm scared.

Chasing Twisters lyrics - Delta Rae

I was born with lightning in my heels

Sewed a spur onto my ankle

Bitter horse under the steel

And I lost hope when I was still so young

Had an angel on my shoulder

But the devil always won

And oh, I lost it all when I got hurt

And I can feel you even now

Breakin' horses in the sky

I can taste you in my rage

And in the sweat upon my brow

And I went home,

Chasing twisters in the canyon

My cathedral is the badlands

Dust and devils on my conscience

Come back to me darlin'

So kiss me now

This whiskey on my breath

Feel the lives that I have taken

What little soul that I have left

And oh, my god

I'll take you to the grave

The only love I've ever known

The only soul I've ever saved

And I went home,

Chasing twisters in the canyon

My cathedral is the badlands

Dust and devils on my conscience

Come back to me darlin'

And I've been waiting for so long now

I can feel you in the hollow

And every cloud on the horizon

Come back to me darlin'

Ohhh (Don't you know I dream about you?)

Ohhh

Bethlehem Steel lyrics - Delta Rae

A child was born in Bethlehem,

The son of a steel worker union man.

He grew up tall and he grew up strong,

And when he came of age,

All the steel was gone.

Go to China,

To Vietnam,

There's no more steel left in Bethlehem.

He wants gold,

There's no more steel left in Bethlehem.

Save our souls,

Cos there's no more steel left in Bethlehem.

A reckless kid wants to use his hands,

He's got a real quick trigger and some new demands.

He grew so fast, and he grew so free,

And when he comes around, he finds there's no more steel.

So shaken,

to his knees,

He's got the same old rocket and a new disease.

And he won't take it,

On his neck,

He's got the red hot whiskey,

He's got no respect.

He wants gold,

There's no more steel left in Bethlehem.

Save our souls,

Cos there's no more steel left in Bethlehem.

Ooh, ooh.

Ooh, ooh,

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

He wants gold,

There's no more steel left in Bethlehem.

Save our souls,

Cos there's no more steel left in Bethlehem.

You can put your faith in the government,

But there's no more steel left in Bethlehem.

Try to get them back, try for reckoning,

But there's no more steel left in Bethlehem.

He wants gold...

Dead End Road lyrics - Delta Rae

The air's crisp

Kinda way that it sobers your mind and drives you back home again

You lift all the burdens from your shoulders and realize

You've reached the end

Tell me honestly what you came here for

When you've had enough but you beg for more

And you talk so tough but you can't ignore

That you're done driving down a dead end road

Done driving on down a dead end road

Late nights, don't they stretch on forever?

You never thought that you would have to ask for help

It's alright, baby, it's just a little static on the line

That time is gonna figure out

You're gonna figure it out

Tell me honestly what you came here for

When you've had enough but you beg for more

And you talk so tough but you can't ignore

That you're done driving down a dead end road

Done driving down a dead end road

You missed it, the sound of tires on the ground

You missed it, the stinging sign, the open arms

You missed it, after the miles you've already traveled

You missed it, how could you ever look behind?

Tell me honestly what you came here for

When you've had enough but you beg for more

And you talk so tough but you can't ignore

That you're done driving down a dead end road

Done driving down a dead end road

You're done driving down a dead end road

Done driving down a dead end road

You're The One For Me lyrics - Delta Rae

We've been walking down this open road for way too long

And I don't wanna lead you on, I don't wanna lead you on

The traffic stops, the doors are locked and no one's near

Never has it been so clear, never has it been so clear

That I could love you so I don't know why

I'm holding back now when everything's right

Take my hand, darling, look in my eyes

Don't wanna close... baby

There's nothing open

The stars are shining, love

We walk in circles

And I don't wanna go, I think you should know

You're the one for me

Can't stop watching you

Little things you do that make me weak

Stop me when I try to speak

And prove that I've got so damn lucky

Cause I've been waiting for some sort of sign

All these days it's been there in your eyes

And I don't wanna f*ck it up the first time

I'll let you know, know, baby

There's nothing open

The stars are shining, love

We walk in circles

And I don't wanna go, I think you should know

You're the one for me

And you know it

And I know it

It's a beautiful thing

Let's just stay in this moment

There's nothing open

The stars are shining, love

We walk in circles

And I don't wanna go, I think you should know

You're the one for me

There's nothing open

The stars are shining, love

We walk in circles

And I don't wanna go, I think you should know

I don't wanna go, I think you should know

You're the one for me, yeah yeah

I don't wanna go

Cold Day In Heaven lyrics - Delta Rae

It’s a cold day in hell, a cold day in heaven

We watched the stars fell, and oh you know we let them

We said it’ll never happen, we said it’ll never happen to us

Keep thinking bout when we started, so innocent

Your heart was a mess and I was lost in it

Keep thinking bout the day that we met, and how you’ve changed

You loved me once, and now you bring me pain

Keep thinking that I will say goodbye

Made a promise that you won’t see me cry again

It’s a cold day in hell, a cold day in heaven

We watched the stars fell, and oh you know we let them

We said it’ll never happen, we said it’ll never happen to us

But it’s a cold day in heaven, my love

The sky’s dark and the flowers are frozen, the world is hushed

Our guardian angels have turned their backs on us

Something broken, I thought I could fix it, but it’s broken me

Your kisses are poison and all your words are treason

I’m walking away, you won’t hear me say

"I love you"

Look at all the stars they have fallen

There’s nothing left though you still wishing

The sun it doesn’t rise in the morning

It’s frozen

Look at all the stars they have fallen

There’s nothing left though you still wishing

The sun it doesn’t rise in the morning

It’s frozen

It’s a cold day in hell, a cold day in heaven

We watched the stars fell, and oh you know we let them

We said it’ll never happen, you said it’ll never happen to us

Now it’s a cold day in heaven, my love

Cold day in heaven, my love

I Will Never Die lyrics - Delta Rae

Hickory, oak, pine and weed

Bury my heart underneath these trees

And when a southern wind comes to raise my soul

Spread my spirit like a flock of crows

Cause I loved ya for too long

I loved ya for too long

Old heat of a raging fire

Come and light my eyes

Summer's kiss thru electric wire

But I'll never die

Sycamore, ash, moss and loam

Wrap your roots all around my bones

And when they come for me

When they call my name

Cast my shadow from a bellow's flame

Cause I loved ya for too long

I loved ya for too long

(So let the storm come)

Old heat of a raging fire

Come and light my eyes

Summer's kiss to electric wire

But I'll never die...

I will never die

You can bury my body but I'll never die

In the dead of the night

(In the dead of the night)

I'm gonna loose this chain

(I'm gonna loose this chain)

I'm gonna run and run and run and run and run

(Sing on sister)

I'm gonna run and run and run and run

Coming for you again

(Oh I'm coming for you again)

So let the storm come

Old heat of a raging fire

Come and light my eyes

Summer's kiss to electric wire

But I'll never die...

I will never die

You can bury my body but I'll never die

Hickory, oak, pine and weed

Bury my heart underneath these trees

The Meaning Of It All lyrics - Delta Rae

If I asked you to remember

Why we set out on this road

You gonna fight me or surrender

That it wasn't all my fault

Cause you're breaking down and I can tell it's deep

There's a tidal wave that's rushing towards the beach

But your anger has such beauty underneath

And we all want love, yeah we all want love

There's no end to what we're feeling

Just some breaks along the way

I get so caught up in the meaning of it all

While my heart just wants to crave

So breathe, darling, breathe in deep

Come on, breathe, darling, breathe in deep for me

Cause I'm breaking down and I can tell it's deep

I try to dream about the future when I dream

But I can't bury that sad kid I used to be

Cause we all want love, yeah we all want love

Cause we're breaking down and I can tell it's deep

There's a tidal wave that's rushing towards the beach

But you know I'll be there waiting

With my arms outstretched to reach for you, my love

Cause we all want love, yeah we all want love

Yeah we all want love, yeah we all want love

My Whole Life Long lyrics - Delta Rae

I wanna love you

in the daylight

with the world all alive around us

Cause it's too hard

through a phoneline

to hold you the way I want to

So don't leave me

Say you need me

Have a little faith in what we've made

Just think about how strong our love has grown

Think about how good these seeds have sown

I will love you

I will love you my whole life long

Oh yea, oh oh, my baby

And I wanna love you in the darkness

With the night rolling in like thunder

Cause it's too easy baby

when I've spent so many nights alone

to forget how you pull me under

So don't leave me

Say you need me

Have a little faith in what we've made

Just think about how strong our love has grown

Think about how good these seeds have sown

I will love you (I will love you)

I will love you my whole life long (I will love you)

Oh yea, oh oh, my baby

Think about how strong our love has grown

Think about how good these seeds have sown

I will love you (I will love you)

I will love you my whole life long (I will love you)

Oh yea, oh, oh, my baby [x6]

My whole life long

Yea

My whole life

Just think about how strong our love has grown

Think about how good these seeds have sown

I will love you

My whole life long

After It All lyrics - Delta Rae

Oh, how I've waited

Oh, how I've dreamt of this

Old in a house made of wood

All the walls painted in gold

After it all, you look after me

All of these things that we made believe

Oh, how I've waited

Oh, how I've dreamt of this

Old in a house made of wood

All the walls painted in gold

After it all, you look after me

All of these things that we made believe

Holding On To Good lyrics - Delta Rae

Baby, I’m not waiting

I’m just holding on to good

It’s still early, it’s still more than I should

I’m off to Carolina

I’m gonna wear my mama’s boots

We may be parted, but that don’t cut us at the roots

’Cause in the morning, in the morning

Sometimes I think about the way you held me

In the morning, in the morning

Sometimes I think about the way you held me

It’s colder in November

The leaves are turning on the limbs

The color’s brightest just before the branches thin

And, yes, I still remember

But I am trying to begin

I met a new love and I’m growing into him

But in the morning, in the morning

Sometimes I think about the way you held me

In the morning, in the morning

Sometimes I think about the way you held me

I see a new flag rising on an old flagpole

A shotgun fired in the firing hole

I’ll let the snow keep falling till my world is white

I don’t need your hand tonight

But in the morning, in the morning

Sometimes I think about the way you held me

Is There Anyone Out There lyrics - Delta Rae

Days they pass too quickly

And nights they don't offer enough sleep

My body doesn't fit me

My dreams are like great ships lost at sea

And this heart grows tired

So far from where I started

And so far from where I want to be

The towers I watched when I was young

Are not as tall as I once believed

And this heart grows tired

Is there anyone out there?

You know me

I am the son

Of a lost country, of a new world

And we're born to run and we never look back

Children born tomorrow

May never know the language we speak

The wisdom that they borrow

Will hint at something buried too deep

But we carry the fire

Is there anyone out there?

You know me

I am the son

Of a lost country, of a new world

And we're born to run and we never look back

Oh, when we were young, we never knew

The pain that lay beyond, but then we grew

And all my heroes they were strange

But we all just want to be the same

But who will lead us when they are gone?

Who will save us when the wrong ones have won?

Is there anyone out there?

The Morning Comes lyrics - Delta Rae

Oh, oh. I found a good woman, I found a job that pays.

The tide comes in, I watch it all wash away.

But I'm keeping it steady, that's just how I was raised

Head held up, walking tall into each broken wave

And this heart grows tired

I found a good woman

I found a job that pays

The tide comes in, I watch it all wash away

But I'm keeping it steady, that's just how I was raised

Head held up walking tall into each breaking wave

'Cause the devil's in the details and he's taking his toll

Sending good men down the foot trails of some lost lonely souls

And I say oh, oh

Rain don't change the sun

Jealous is the night when the morning comes

But it always comes

So I'm working the graveyard, I don't sleep till it's light

Ain't calling in favors, I can't swallow my pride

And the bank's on a mission, they want to read me my rights

But they ever show up around here, they're going to be in for a fight

'Cause the devil's in my hometown and I ain't telling him no

'Cause it's my family, it's my love now, that I'm scared to let go

And I say oh, oh

Rain don't change the sun

Jealous is the night when the morning comes

But it always comes

Followed the track of my needle

Tried to be good to my people

So why's there no peace?

No break no relief

Can I be blamed if I'm angry?

Can I be saved if I'm barely clinging to hope?

I'm clinging to hope

When I say oh, oh

Rain don't change the sun

Jealous is the night when the morning comes

But it always comes

It always rains down on us

And like an old dog lying by a new gravestone

It's still our home

So if you ever feel like you are alone

After the night

The morning comes

If I Loved You lyrics - Delta Rae

If I loved you, life would be easy

There’d be no truth that I’d be scared of

I could walk through every valley

And you’d light me with all of your love

But I don’t love you, not like I want to

I don’t love you and that makes it hard

And every morning, I see how you watch me

And each night I know you feel it and it just breaks your heart

You’d make good money and come home early

And you’d kiss me and hold me each night

We would have children and they would be so beautiful

And we’d raise them and all would be right

But I don’t love you, not like you need it

I don’t love you, good as you are

And when I kiss you, I know that you can feel it

And I see it in your eyes, and it just breaks my heart

I wish to God I could change it, darling

Could make you the one

I will always have these regrets and wonder

What else I could have done

I will

’Cause if I loved you, I could be happy

I would make you the light of my world

I wouldn’t wait, love, I’d marry you tomorrow

And we’d make love and I’d be your girl

But I don’t love you, much as I want to

I don’t love you, no, it would be a lie

And you deserve love, you’re better than a good day

And you’ll find it, but just not in my eyes

’Cause it ain’t here love, no

And it just breaks my heart

Bottom Of The River lyrics - Delta Rae

Hold my hand

Ooh, baby, it's a long way down to the bottom of the river

Hold my hand

Ooh, baby, it's a long way down, a long way down

If you get sleep or if you get none

(The cock's gonna call in the morning, baby)

Check the cupboard for your daddy's gun

(Red sun rises like an early warning)

The Lord's gonna come for your first born son

(His hair's on fire and his heart is burning)

So go to the river where the water runs

(Wash him deep where the tides are turning)

And if you fall...

Hold my hand

Ooh, baby, it's a long way down to the bottom of the river

Hold my hand

Ooh, baby, it's a long way down, a long way down

The wolves will chase you by the pale moonlight

(Drunk and driven by a devil's hunger)

Drive your son like a railroad spike

(Into the water, let it pull him under)

Don't you lift him, let him drown alive

(The good Lord speaks like a rolling thunder)

Let that fever make the water rise

(And let the river run dry)

And I said

Hold my hand

Ooh, baby, it's a long way down to the bottom of the river

Hold my hand

Ooh, baby, it's a long way down, a long way down

Hold my hand

Ooh, baby, it's a long way, a long long long way

Hold my hand

Ooh, baby, it's a long way down, a long way down

Hold my hand

Hold my hand, long way down, to the bottom of the

Hold my hand, it's a long way down, a long way down

Hold my hand, ooh baby, it's a long way down

Hold my hand, ooh baby, it's a long

Hold my hand, ooh baby, it's a long way down, a long way down

Country House lyrics - Delta Rae

In a country house with the windows lit by burning wicks

And the walls held up by wood and bricks and ghosts that wander through

An old man died, but the help won’t come till Monday next

And he’s gone to meet the architects of the only world he knew

And he’s lonesome

And the family mourned, at the wake he lay in front of them

Just as silent as he’d ever been to any young child’s eyes

And by buried skin, they shed their laughter and their tears

The pain of all those early years where innocence had died

But now they’re lonesome

Memorials that we may build

They won’t the holes forever fill

There is a deep and aching chill

That settles in our bones

’Cause we’re lonesome

Did you ever love somebody?

Did you ever lose someone?

’Cause we’re lonesome

In a country house with the windows all lit up

Surrounded lyrics - Delta Rae

I was born in the state where my mother was raised

With the children of soldiers, the children of slaves

And it’s too much to take, the mind how it breaks

The lessons the stories the shame and the glories and all

They linger ’round

Foxes and hounds

Our souls are bound

To older ground

Fell in love with a girl who’s found love before

In the hands and the hearts of the people she wore

She’s all that I see, but there’s things in between

The fractures and fissures of all of the pictures we leave

They linger ’round

Foxes and hounds

They’re with me now

Can’t lay them down

And I feel it all around, I’m surrounded

And I feel it all around, I’m surrounded by ghosts

So we keep them at home, the secrets and bones

The voices we hear so we’re never alone

They tease and they taunt, comfort and haunt

My mother and father and so many I’ll never know

They linger ’round

Foxes and hounds

My hands are bound

And I feel it all around, I’m surrounded

And I feel it all around, I’m surrounded by ghosts

Dance In The Graveyards lyrics - Delta Rae

When I die

I don’t want to rest in peace

I want to dance in joy

I want to dance in the graveyards, the graveyards

And while I’m alive

I don’t want to be alone

Mourning the ones who came before

I want to dance with them some more

Let’s dance in the graveyards

Gloria, like some other name we kept on calling ya and waiting for change

But I belong to all of your mysteries

And all of us, we’re meant for the fire, but we keep rising up and walking the wires

So when we go below don’t lose us in mourning

’Cause when I die

I don’t want to rest in peace

I want to dance in joy

I want to dance in the graveyards, the graveyards

And while I’m alive

I don’t want to be alone

Mourning the ones who came before

I want to dance with them some more

Let’s dance in the graveyards

Oh my love, don’t cry when I’m gone

I will lift you up, the air in your lungs

And when you reach for me, we’ll dance in the darkness

And we will walk beyond

Our daughters and sons, they will carry on

Like when we were young, and we will stand beside and breathe in their new life

’Cause when I die

I don’t want to rest in peace

I want to dance in joy

I want to dance in the graveyards, the graveyards

And while I’m alive

I don’t want to be alone

Mourning the ones who came before

I want to dance with them some more

Let’s dance in the graveyards

Fire lyrics - Delta Rae

I, I got my eye on you, I heard what you been saying

These rumors you spread ’round, they burn me down like flames and

We used to be friends, but that ain’t true now

You ain’t got my back, you’ve shown me that so many times

When I need help

Can’t call for help

’Cause no one comes

So I’m calling FIRE

It won’t be pretty, I ain’t no girl cried wolf, I’ll bring this whole damn city

They’ll come from miles around just to see how you cut me down

We used to be friends, but that ain’t true now

You poisoned the well, now I can’t tell who’s on my side

When I need help

Can’t call for help

’Cause no one comes

So I’m calling FIRE

Forgive The Children We Once Were lyrics - Delta Rae

We grew up in golden light

Every chance to get it right

What did we do with it?

It’s gone, what I had back then is gone

Can’t get it back again

Raised by kids who gave us names

These grown up children we became

Who spread the gossip and the shame

We waited

For love, for dreams in the night

For days to come when we’d be all right

I can’t remember why I did the things I did

I was just a kid

All our lives we feel this young

Sorry for the things we should have done

Sorry for the kids we pushed too far

Sorry now for all the lonely hearts who can’t move on because

We waited

For love, for dreams in the night

For days to come when we’d be all right

I can’t remember why I did the things I did

I was just a kid

All the lines we knew back then, they now are faded

All the laws we once obeyed, they have betrayed us

People that I used to hate, I hardly remember

Forgive the children we once were

Unlike Any Other lyrics - Delta Rae

Here I am in this empty room

Miles away from you, if you ask me

I’d get in my car and I’d drive all night

I’m coming home to you, if you’ll have me

But no one needs to know

When you hold me, it’s unlike any other

I’ve been this girl so many times

Blurring all the lines like it’s easy

I can’t believe that I got this close again

Now I’m afraid to move, you might really see me

You don’t need to know

When you hold me, it’s unlike any other

No one needs to know

Hey, Hey, Hey lyrics - Delta Rae

Hey hey hey

Don’t you want to love me now baby?

Hey hey hey

Ain’t you thinking ’bout me?

I’ve been trying to get you off of my mind for some time now

Ain’t going well baby

Ain’t much room left baby ’tween these four walls

Our hearts have grown as heavy as cannonballs

I tried to love you babe and I’m trying still

I’ve always loved you babe and I always will

The neighbor’s dogs are chained, they don’t bark no more

Nothing happens here that’s worth yelling for

But there’d be music babe if we ever walked by

You know we’d wake the world if we only tried, and I say

Hey hey hey

Don’t you want to love me now baby?

Hey hey hey

Ain’t you thinking ’bout me?

I’ve been trying to get you off of my mind for some time now

Ain’t going well baby

Won’t you think about loving me?

Your window’s open babe, but your doors are closed

You want a breeze to sweep in and shake your bones

But the sky is clear as day and the air is calm

So come on out and play I’m not here that long

’Cause the times are tough now babe, but they’re ours to own

Make the most of it or just stay at home

I’ve come by once and I won’t be back again

Aw, who am I kidding babe, won’t you let me in?

Hey hey hey

Don’t you want to love me now baby?

Hey hey hey

Ain’t you thinking ’bout me?

I’ve been trying to get you off of my mind for some time now

Ain’t going well baby

Won’t you think about loving me?

New Days (Acoustic) lyrics - Delta Rae

Changed my name again

Let down my walls to let you in

Was fighting fire with sin

But I found a way to begin

Make right

Shed new light

On to these new days

Wash down on my young face

Lighting up the dark places

Softening the lines

And I love you

After all we've been through

I don't want you changing right before my eyes

Oh, but I know it's right

Oh, it's right

Whoa, fever's running high

Burned off the demons in my mind

I'm seeing with fresh eyes

What we had was built on

Broken promises and hard-won love

And I don't want to lose it in these new days

Wash down on my young face

Lighting up the dark places

Softening the lines

And I love you

After all we've been through

I don't want you changing right before my eyes

Oh, but I know it's right

Oh, it's right

The Morning Comes lyrics - Delta Rae

Oh, oh. I found a good woman, I found a job that pays.

The tide comes in, I watch it all wash away.

But I'm keeping it steady, that's just how I was raised

Head held up, walking tall into each broken wave

And this heart grows tired

I found a good woman

I found a job that pays

The tide comes in, I watch it all wash away

But I'm keeping it steady, that's just how I was raised

Head held up walking tall into each breaking wave

'Cause the devil's in the details and he's taking his toll

Sending good men down the foot trails of some lost lonely souls

And I say oh, oh

Rain don't change the sun

Jealous is the night when the morning comes

But it always comes

So I'm working the graveyard, I don't sleep till it's light

Ain't calling in favors, I can't swallow my pride

And the bank's on a mission, they want to read me my rights

But they ever show up around here, they're going to be in for a fight

'Cause the devil's in my hometown and I ain't telling him no

'Cause it's my family, it's my love now, that I'm scared to let go

And I say oh, oh

Rain don't change the sun

Jealous is the night when the morning comes

But it always comes

Followed the track of my needle

Tried to be good to my people

So why's there no peace?

No break no relief

Can I be blamed if I'm angry?

Can I be saved if I'm barely clinging to hope?

I'm clinging to hope

When I say oh, oh

Rain don't change the sun

Jealous is the night when the morning comes

But it always comes

It always rains down on us

And like an old dog lying by a new gravestone

It's still our home

So if you ever feel like you are alone

After the night

The morning comes

Darlin' If lyrics - Delta Rae

The light that shined upon us once

Is swiftly dimming now, and I'm

Afraid to watch us tip

Or else to watch us wither

The lips that once spoke truth to me

And brought white heat upon my mouth

Have gone cold at the source

The sun won't lift our winter

And I'm scared cause I can't seem to lift you darling

But each of us falling is not helping either stand

I just want you to know I was sincere

When I said I loved you all those years

And Darlin' if, Darlin if'

I don't love you

Could I still could I still

Carry your weight?

This weighs on me

To be good or free

And Darlin' if, Darlin if'

I don't love you

Could I still could I still

Carry your weight?

This weighs on me

To be good or free

The child that sleeps within your dreams

But never rested in your arms,

Is now a promise broke

A hurt that I won't share.

I asked you once to let it go

Shed these chains that pull us low.

But if I know you well

These are not words to bear.

But I'm tired cause there's no hoping left in our embraces

I'm watching my one life as it falls to shadows

That haunt your eyes

I will be strong I will be your wings

But I can't stay if our lives are bound to this

Darlin' if, Darlin if'

I don't love you

Could I still could I still

Carry your weight?

This weighs on me

To be good or free

Darlin' if, Darlin if'

I don't love you

Could I still could I still

Carry your weight?

This weighs on me

To be good or free

So young we started in love

Too old to start again now

So young we started in love

Too old to start again now

So young we started in love

Too old to start again now

Darlin' if

If I don't love you

Could I still

Could I carry your weight

Darlin' if, Darlin if'

I don't love you

Could I still could I still

Carry your weight?

This weighs on me

To be good or free

Darlin' if, Darlin if'

I don't love you

Could I still could I still

Carry your weight?

This weighs on me

To be good or free

Darling if

I ain't gonna love you

Could I still

Could I stay

Darling if

I ain't gonna love you

Could I still

Could I stay

Darling if

I ain't gonna love you

Could I still

Could I stay

Darling if

I ain't gonna love you

Could I still

Could I stay

Young And Pretty lyrics - Delta Rae

The sun had never fully bloomed

Until it washed through her dress in the hours for noon,

Sweeping every sadness from a quiet room, humming a song.

And fires had never felt so warm as when

The smoke rose from our chimneys in the early morn,

All the houses on the block were uniform

Reaching towards the sky in rivers.

You were so young and pretty

I saw us getting married

It didn't last, we each grew up, I didn't mind

But from time to time, I remember it well

And I never felt so safe

As when he stood on the sidelines of that football game

Cheering out to the son who would carry his name

All of our own small victories

You were so young and pretty

I saw us getting married

It didn't last, we each grew up, I didn't mind

But from time to time, I remember it well

So many loves that I've lost in time

Places that I'd like to live in for one more moment

And try to put on those shoes that I wore just once

Visit every bit of my old beauty

You were so young and pretty

I saw us getting married

It didn't last, we each grew up, I didn't mind

But from time to time...

You were so young and pretty

I saw us getting married,

All these years

I've remembered it well

Ooh Caroline lyrics - Delta Rae

Last night I thought I heard the screen door slam and I thought about it

You'd run away and break my heart again, so I'm moving on

And driving downtown to a bottle and flashing lights

Where I'll meet a nice girl, she'll invite me to come inside

And she'll ask me, she'll ask me, she'll ask if I'm alright

But I'm not

Ooh, ooh, Caroline, keep leaving back doors in my mind

It's all the time and I can't keep waiting for ya

Ooh, ooh, Caroline, make something better hard to find

It's all the time and I can't keep waiting for ya

No, no, no

Five years ago, I thought I found my wife

And I still believe it

But my time with you has been an uphill climb

Like when you hike your skirt up when you're standing in a service line

Or how your ring slips off after one too many glasses of wine

And you ask me, you ask me, you ask me to be kind

When I say,

Ooh, ooh, Caroline, keep leaving back doors in my mind

It's all the time and I can't keep waiting for ya

Ooh, ooh, Caroline, make something better hard to find

It's all the time and I can't keep waiting for ya

And all the days I spent in Georgia

And all the guys I fought off for ya

Just to hold your hand

Without a back-up plan

For when a better man comes calling

And I'll say,

Ooh, ooh, Caroline, keep leaving back doors in my mind

It's all the time and I can't keep waiting for ya

Ooh, ooh, Caroline, make something better hard to find

It's all the time and I can't keep waiting for ya

Ooh, ooh, Caroline, and I can't keep waiting for ya

Cause it's all the time, and I can't keep waiting for ya

Holding On To Good lyrics - Delta Rae

Baby, I’m not waiting

I’m just holding on to good

It’s still early, it’s still more than I should

I’m off to Carolina

I’m gonna wear my mama’s boots

We may be parted, but that don’t cut us at the roots

’Cause in the morning, in the morning

Sometimes I think about the way you held me

In the morning, in the morning

Sometimes I think about the way you held me

It’s colder in November

The leaves are turning on the limbs

The color’s brightest just before the branches thin

And, yes, I still remember

But I am trying to begin

I met a new love and I’m growing into him

But in the morning, in the morning

Sometimes I think about the way you held me

In the morning, in the morning

Sometimes I think about the way you held me

I see a new flag rising on an old flagpole

A shotgun fired in the firing hole

I’ll let the snow keep falling till my world is white

I don’t need your hand tonight

But in the morning, in the morning

Sometimes I think about the way you held me

Bless You (For The Good That's In You) lyrics - Delta Rae

(originally by Peggy Lee)

(from "Gangster Squad" soundtrack)

Bless you, oh... bless you, oh-oh...

Bless you for the good that's in you, bless you every day

There's some good in everybody, we're just made that way

Good morning, oh miserable, you're not as bad as you make out

That frown don't set right, get right up and shout (yes, shout)

Bless you for the good that's in you, bless you every night

If you shine like a love light beacon, you'll make out all right

If any old evil comes around today

Turn it right around and chase it away

Bless you for the good that's in you, bless you every day

Oh, oh... oh, oh-oh... oh, oh-oh...

You know that life is like an old steam engine

You can either go ahead, or in reverse

And the road ahead might look pretty rocky

But the road behind is bound to be worse

If you close your eyes, you won't see the sunshine

If you plug your ears, you won't hear a thing

And if you shut out your heart, you'll shut out the feeling

And there'll never be any reason to sing

(Bless you) yes, bless you (bless you) yes, bless you

Ooh, that frown don't set right, get right up and shout

(Get right up and shout)

Oh, bless you for the good that's in you, bless you every night

If you shine like a love light beacon, you'll make out all right

And if any old evil comes around today

Turn it right around and chase it away

Bless you for the good that's in you, bless you every day

Bless you (oh, bless you); yes, bless you (yes, bless you)

Bless you for the good that's in you, bless you every day

Do You Ever Dream? lyrics - Delta Rae

Do you ever dream?

Do you ever see the future when you look at me?

A little house in the mountains surrounded by the evergreens

A homemade meal and a couple kids

Or is just the moment?

Is it the sex and the comfort and the laughs that keep you coming back?

I hate to ruin the romance baby but I have to ask

Is there something I can't see?

Do you ever dream?

Or do you want to leave this world while you're still young and free?

Live on the edge and leave falling in love to girls like me

And you'd give me just enough

But you never call, you never share

You're never wrong, and it's not fair

I had a vision of who I'd be

And baby I'm not there

Do you ever dream?

Do you ever dream when the nights get lonely?

You're gonna wish that I was there

Do you ever dream how it's gonna hurt baby

When there's nobody that cares

About the stories that you tell?

Do you even get that far?

'Cause I've been living in this moment

And it's all falling apart

Do you ever dream?

Hold on to something you can't see

Give me a reason not to leave

Heart Won't Break lyrics - Delta Rae

I could see it coming a thousand miles away

I keep on running, but this ain't something I'll escape

You're gonna leave me, you say it's better this way

But I know its gonna hit like a hard rain falling on an open field

There ain't no cover, when you say its over you can't tell me how to feel

'Cause my heart won't break the way you want

If you say those words, your work is done

And there's nothing you can do to stop the tears that I will cry

And there's nothing you can say that puts the good in your goodbye

'Cause my heart will never break the way you want

I try to stay distracted, but the days are too long

Baby, were you acting every night when we were alone?

Felt like magic but it was all just a dream

So you try to let me down easy say you wanna stay friends

Well you can turn the pages of my story, babe

But you can't tell me how it ends

'Cause my heart won't break the way you want

If you say those words, your work is done

And there's nothing you can do to stop the tears that I will cry

And there's nothing you can say that puts the good in your goodbye

'Cause my heart will never break the way you want

So if you're reaching out

In a month from now

As I'm starting to mend

And you say you made

Such a big mistake

And "could I take you back again?"

'Cause my heart won't break the way you want

If you say those words, your work is done

And there's nothing you can do to stop the tears that I will cry

And there's nothing you can say that puts the good in your goodbye

'Cause my heart will never break the way you want

'Cause my heart won't break the way you want

Hitch A Ride lyrics - Delta Rae

Arms like a scarecrow

Hitchin' for a ride

Skin like a leather tomb

Eyes like kilns in the rivers of dry

Dust under a paper moon

It runs hot in the summer in the Piedmont Plains

Meet the devil in the morning sun

And you take his heat

A hundred hours in the week

Til he lets you see the autumn come

It's enough to drive a young man insane

Make a woman wanna run away

I met Jack McKent

He was a handsome man

Was my ticket to a better place

Where do we go when the sun stays high?

Where do we go when we close our eyes?

Where do we go when we feel this tide?

Where do we go?

Well we hitch a ride

Well Jack and me we never left the heat

Got pregnant in the early spring

But when Jack got mean

He'd raise his hand to me

And I never could predict his swing

And on the hottest night

In the full moon light

He stole the one good thing we'd made

And like a dandelion with the feather's flyin'

The wind pulled my heart away

When do you know to put a sick dog down?

Where do you go when you cross that line?

Ain't no secrets in a southern town

Where do we go?

There are children's bodies buried in the grave

No songs to carry all of my love

And I'll run from the sin, and the love, and the devil

And judgement from the Lord above

And I'll leave my fate in the hands of strangers

Every driver on the great highway

I'm a flair to the night

A black widow spider

Another orphan on the interstate

Where do we go when the sun stays high?

Where do we go when we close our eyes?

Where do we go when we feel this tide?

Where do we go?

Well we hitch a ride!

We're all running from something

(Hitch a ride, go, go hitch a ride)

Leaving someone behind

(Hitch a ride, go, go hitch a ride)

Always another car coming

(Hitch a ride, go, go hitch a ride)

When we hitch a ride

(Hitch a ride, go, go hitch a ride)

We're all picking up strangers

(Hitch a ride, go, go hitch a ride)

Just trust the look in their eye

We don't know we're in danger

When we hitch a ride

(Hitch a ride, go, go)

No Dry Eye In The Chapel lyrics - Delta Rae

Reverend Riley knows he's prone to ramble

Reads the Bible like it's War and Peace

He goes on and on

You can't help but yawn

Even the righteous start to fall asleep

When he's 'bout to lose that front-row faithful

Pulls an ace out of his sleeve

Knows they need a hymn

So he shouts "Amen! Fire up the organ, Irene!"

She starts hammering glory mountain

Until there's no dry eye in the chapel

No one sitting in the pews

Hands up high all clapping

When Mama starts singing Hallelu-

Hallelu-, Hallelu-, yeah!

No dry eye in the chapel

When Mama gets to singing the truth

Now mama's more than just a Sunday singer

She'll play anybody's wedding or wake

Long-shot, shotguns, third-time's-the-charm ones

Everybody's gonna get saved

When they kiss the bride and the [?]

There'll be no dry eye in the chapel

No one sitting in the pews

Hands up high all clapping

When Mama starts singing Hallelu-

Hallelu-, Hallelu-, yeah!

No dry eye in the chapel

When Mama gets to singing the truth

Then late one night the Devil came calling

And Mama waved him right inside

She sang "Great Ball of Fire" like a gospel choir

And the Devil just started to cry

There'll be no dry eye in the chapel

No one sitting in the pews

Hands up high all clapping

When Mama starts singing Hallelu-

Hallelu-, Hallelu-, yeah!

No dry eye in the chapel

When Mama gets to singing the truth

There'll be no dry eye in the chapel

When Mama gets to singing the truth

Come on, Mama!

One Good Cry lyrics - Delta Rae

Gonna light a few candles and put some old records on

Finally open that rainy day bottle of wine

Gonna lose myself dancing 'round to our favorite song

That's my way of saying goodbye

I'm giving you one good cry

That's all you'll get from me

Soon as these tears all dry

Baby my hands are clean

I could go on and on

But you ain't worth my time

I'm giving you one

You only get one good cry

Gonna revel in every regret, every memory

Gonna let you take hold of me one last time

By tomorrow morning, I'll be pouring coffee and you'll just be history

I'll be strong, I'll move on

But tonight

I'm giving you one good cry

That's all you'll get from me

Soon as these tears all dry

Baby my hands are clean

I could go on and on

But you ain't worth my time

I'm giving you one

You only get one good cry

'Cause you'll be long gone

Where you belong

Yeah but right now

All I need

Is one good cry

That's all you'll get from me

Soon as these tears all dry

Baby my hands are clean

I could go on and on

But you ain't worth my time

I'm giving you one

You only get one good cry

I'm giving you one

You only get one good cry

Stand-Ins lyrics - Carrie Welling & Delta Rae

Better than a dozen roses

More than a couple drinks

On a sunny desert island, baby

You'll be all I need

If another late night caller

Comes knocking on my door

For instant gratification

I won't give it out no more

I used to call them all by name, now I call them

Stand-Ins wasting my time

If I'd of planned it you'd already be mine

So come and claim your ground and save me now

From all of those Stand-Ins wearing me out

One time I thought I found you

Good thing I let him go

Cause you would never treat me badly, baby

When that feeling comes I'll know

And you're the reason why I call them

Stand-Ins wasting my time

If I'd of planned it you'd already be mine

So come and claim your ground and save me now

From all of those Stand-Ins wearing me out

To that High School sweetheart that I first took home

To that New York drummer I should've left alone

That painter, that surfer, that Wall Street banker

To that Jesus lover that called me he's savoir

Well, I call them...

Stand-Ins wasting my time

If I'd of planned it you'd already be mine

So come and claim your ground and save me now

From all of those Stand and Ins

Still Waters lyrics - Delta Rae

Still waters run deep and far love

I dreamt of rivers that carry our spirits

Through nights of starlight

Through days in the desert

Through pain and glory

They're carving our story

Through stampedes on the prairie

To a hush on the ocean

We keep on going

'Cause no one ever really dies

Hey ya

Crisp and frozen

Paint peels off the bones of

That kudzu captive

The voices of Baptists

Rung higher than the ceiling

Swung low sweet believing

If one man is risen

Then no one ever really dies

Hey ya

Dancing atoms

Break free from the stratum

Of our weak predictions

Big bang contradictions

It's pieced together

Changes with the weather

But we dig forever

'Cause no one ever really dies

Hey ya

(Still waters)

Hey ya

No one ever really dies

(Still waters)

Hey ya

No one ever really dies

(Still waters)

Hey ya

'Cause no one ever really dies

Hey ya

'Cause no one ever really dies

Walk With Me lyrics - Delta Rae

Tonight's someone will hurt someone

Forgive, forget, that ain't no fun

Another heart falls off the tree

But freedom's just 'bout breaking free

A gold dust woman read it in my cards

There's a long parade of us with broken hearts

But if you walk with me

Baby, I'll stand by you

If you walk with me

Take my hand, I'll stand by you

Hand in hand, I'll walk with you

We all walk down these streets of pain

Cause we all woe, regrets and shame

The songs we sing just ain't the same

And then our dreams just drift away

A gold dust woman read it in my cards

There's a long parade of us with broken hearts, yeah

But if you walk with me

Baby, I'll stand by you

If you walk with me

Take my hand, I'll stand by you

Hand in hand, I'll walk with you

Oh, oh

Yeah, yeah

It's hard to be brave with all that we go through

But it all rides on whatever road we choose, yeah

And if you walk with me (walk with me)

Baby, I'll stand by you (I'll be right beside you, baby)

If you walk with me (walk with me)

Baby, I'll stand by you

I said, if you walk with me (walk with me)

Baby, I'll stand by you (the road is getting long, yeah)

If you walk with me (walk with me)

Baby, I, I'll stand by you (I ain't never gonna leave you, baby)

If you walk with me (walk with me)

Oh... (I'll stand by you)

If you walk with me (walk with me)

Baby, I'll stand by you

Take my hand, I'll walk with you

You Can Tell Him lyrics - Delta Rae

If you want to see the man who broke my heart

You can tell him by the eyes that pierce the dark

You can tell him by the laugh that fills the room

You can tell him by the arms that feel like home

Tried to tell him he's the only one I want

Tried to tell him he's the sun that brings the dawn

When I'm dreaming

And now he's telling me he's leaving

If you want to see the girl who took my place

You can tell her by the smile that's on her face

You can tell her by the way they're dancing slow

That he loves her and that she knows

I could tell her that it probably won't last

Be as jealous of her future as my past

But there's no healing

When he's telling me he's leaving

He's leaving

He's leaving me with no answers

Leaving me with no doubt

Let me feel a love I can't ever live without

And he's leaving me with no shelter

Leaving me with no air

Every morning I'm surprised that I'm still breathing

So if you want to know the reason I went home

I could tell you that I'm trying to move on

I could tell you that I need a change of scenery

But really

I don't want to see the man who broke my heart

I don't want to see those eyes that pierce the dark

I turn a corner and he's there again and baby I'm still reeling

I don't want to see the new girl in his life

I don't want to see the friends who picked their sides

I don't want to come face to face with love that I'm still feeling

So if you see the man I love despite our reason

You can tell him that I'm leaving

I'm leaving

All Good People lyrics - Delta Rae

There are dogs in the yard, howling at the moon
There are sinners like me our judgment's coming soon
And I stand at the bottom of this dark and lonely well
Saying "please give me answers so I might escape Hell"

I watched from my window as they gunned down unarmed men
Tried to say it's not my problem: couldn't happen to my friends
But the truth is they're my brothers, and they're my countrymen
And if we lose our better angels, we won't get them back again

Come on and raise your voice above the raging seas
We can't hold our breath forever when our brothers cannot breathe
Come on and raise your voice above the raging seas
We can't hold our breath forever when our brothers cannot breathe

Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Our brothers cannot breathe
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Our brothers cannot breathe

All good people, won't you come around?
Won't you come around?
Won't you come around?
All good people, won't you come around?
Won't you come around?
Defend your brothers
All good people, won't you come around?
Won't you come around?
Won't you come around?
All good people, won't you come around?
Won't you come around?
Hold up each other

Do You Ever Dream? lyrics - Delta Rae

Do you ever dream?
Do you ever see the future when you look at me?
A little house in the mountains surrounded by the evergreens
A homemade meal and a couple kids
Or is just the moment?
Is it the sex and the comfort and the laughs that keep you coming back?
I hate to ruin the romance baby but I have to ask
Is there something I can't see?

Do you ever dream?

Do you ever dream?
Or do you want to leave this world while you're still young and free?
Live on the edge and leave falling in love to girls like me
And you'd give me just enough
But you never call, you never share
You're never wrong, and it's not fair
I had a vision of who I'd be
And baby I'm not there

Do you ever dream?

Do you ever dream when the nights get lonely?
You're gonna wish that I was there
Do you ever dream how it's gonna hurt baby
When there's nobody that cares
About the stories that you tell?
Do you even get that far?
'Cause I've been living in this moment
And it's all falling apart

Do you ever dream?
Hold on to something you can't see
Give me a reason not to leave

Hands Dirty lyrics - Delta Rae

I could raise the crap from the earth
I could raise my children from birth
But when I'm looking for work
They say that job ain't for her
I could be a good man's wife
I could give a new child life
But when I fight for my rights
They say no woman, no cry

But I ain't giving up
I can't count on love

I get my hands dirty
I show up so early
They show me no mercy
So I just keep working
Maybe God could save me
Or my boss might pay me
Right now no one serves me
Maybe their hands are dirty, dirty, dirty?

I could lead impossible missions
Occupy the highest position
But when I ask them to listen
They disregard my opinion
Well, I ain't askin' no more
I will command the floor
I'm breaking every glass ceiling
I'm building skyscraping buildings

And when that next storm comes
I'll do what I always done

I get my hands dirty
I show up so early
They show me no mercy
So I just keep working
Maybe God could save me
Or my boss might pay me
Am I so unworthy?
Or are their hands just dirty, dirty, dirty?

And I have seen the other side of the mountain
Where every queen will be afforded her throne
And I will stand beside my sisters
And all persistent resisters
They'll say I knew it would come true
And I'll say "darling, me too"

I get my hands dirty
I show up so early
They show me no mercy
So I just keep working
Maybe God could save me
Or my boss might pay me
Right now no one serves me
Maybe their hands are dirty?

I get my hands dirty
I show up so early
They show me no mercy
So I just keep working
Maybe God could save me
Or my boss might pay me
Am I so unworthy?
Or are their hands just dirty, dirty, dirty?

Out Of The Badlands lyrics - Delta Rae

Don't tell your mama,
Don't tell your daddy,
Baby, let's just go.
The only escaping, the only salvation
Is a long dark road

You're bitin' your lip girl,
You're tight as a fist girl,
We'll be all right
Once we're over the hot sand,
Out of the badlands, into the night.

Don't trust the teachers,
Don't trust the preachers
That the world is round
We'll find out for ourselves,
Once we break past the shell on the edge of this town

I got some twenties and tens
In a Maxwell House can with the lid on tight,
To get us over the hot sand,
Out of the badlands, into the night.

Oh,
There's a billion little stars,
Oh,
Let's pick out which one is ours
Oh,
Girl, I need you by my side,
To get over the hot sand,
Out of the badlands, into the night.

Baby you'd better
Get jeans and a sweater
If the air gets cold
'Cause we been dreaming bout breaking out,
Running away, since seven years old

And it won't be as hard
Once the fence in our yard
Disappears out of sight

When we're over the hot sand,
Out of the badlands, into the night.

Oh,
There's a billion little stars,
Oh,
Let's pick out which one is ours
Oh,
Girl, I need you by my side,
To get over the hot sand,
Out of the badlands, into the night.
To get over the hot sand,
Out of the badlands, into the night.

Chasing Twisters (EP Version) lyrics - Delta Rae

I was born with lightning in my heels
Sewed a spur onto my ankle
Bitter horse under the steel
And I lost hope when I was still so young
Had an angel on my shoulder
But the devil always won

And oh, I lost it all when I got hurt
And I can feel you even now
Breakin' horses in the sky
I can taste you in my rage
And in the sweat upon my brow

And I went home,
Chasing twisters in the canyon
My cathedral is the badlands
Dust and devils on my conscience
Come back to me darlin'

So kiss me now
This whiskey on my breath
Feel the lives that I have taken
What little soul that I have left
And oh, my god
I'll take you to the grave
The only love I've ever known
The only soul I've ever saved

And I went home,
Chasing twisters in the canyon
My cathedral is the badlands
Dust and devils on my conscience
Come back to me darlin'

And I've been waiting for so long now
I can feel you in the hollow
And every cloud on the horizon
Come back to me darlin'

Don't you know I dream about you?
Don't you know I dream about you?
Run, run
Don't you know I dream about you?
Run, run
Don't you know I dream about you?
Run, run
Don't you know I dream about you?

And I went home,
Chasing twisters in the canyon
My cathedral is the badlands
Dust and devils on my conscience
Come back to me darlin'

And I've been waiting for so long now
I can feel you in the hollow
And every cloud on the horizon
Come back to me darlin'

Come back to me darlin'
Come back to me darlin'
