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
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
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
