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
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...
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
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 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
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
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
