Window Up Above - Lyrics - Wanda Jackson

Title: Window Up Above
Artist: Wanda Jackson
Composer(s): George Jones

Lyric:
I've been living a new way
Of life that I love so
But I can see the clouds are gathering
And the storm will wreck our home

For last night he held you tightly
And you didn't even show
This is true for I've been watching
From the window up above

You must have thought that I was sleeping
And I wish that I had been
But I guess it's best to know you
And the way your heart can sin

I thought we belonged together
And our hearts fit like a glove
I was wrong for I've been watching
From the window up above

From my eyes the teardrops started
As I listened on and on
I heard you whisper to him softly
That our marriage was all wrong

But I hope he makes you happy
And you will never lose his love
I was wrong, I was watching
From the window up above

How I wish I could be dreaming
And wake up to an honest love
I was wrong for I was watching
From the window up above

Title: Window Up Above

Composer(s): George Jones

Lyric:
I've been living a new way of life that I love so
But I can see the clouds are gathering and the storm will wreck our home
For last night, she held you tightly and you didn't even shove
This is true for I've been watching from the window up above

You must have thought that I was sleeping and I wish that I had been
But it's best to get to know you and the way your heart can sin
I thought we belong together and our hearts fit like a glove
But I was wrong for I've been watching from the window up above

From my eyes the teardrops started as I listened on and on
Heard you whisper to her softly that our marriage was all wrong
But I hope she makes you happy, that you'll never lose her love
I lost mine while I was watching from the window up above

Now I wished I could be dreaming and wake up to a love that's true
But I was wrong for I've been watching at the window, watching you

Livin' In A House Full Of Love - Lyrics - Billie Jo Spears

Title: Livin' In A House Full Of Love
Artist: Billie Jo Spears
Composer(s): Billy Sherrill, Glenn Sutton

Lyric:
Now love is pourin' through the window, comin' in the door
I can feel it creepin' through the cracks in the floor
Bouncin' off the walls and the ceilin' up above
Since I found you, I'm livin' in a house of love

All my life my heart's been walked on
Men said they loved me, my how they talked on
Tellin' me lies and fillin' my eyes with tears
That I couldn't control

I couldn't get a hold of myself long enough to realize
They were only tryin' to pull the wool over my eyes
Then I found you, then the skies turned blue
And I'm livin' in a house of love

Now love is pourin' through the window, comin' in the door
I can feel it creepin' through the cracks in the floor
Bouncin' off the walls and the ceilin' up above
Since I found you I'm livin' in a house of love

Once I lived in a hole like a rabbit
I couldn't find love and the blues were a habit
A lonely girl and I couldn't understand
Why everything I tried went wrong

Till you came along bless your heart
And showed me the right way
You dried my eyes and turned my night to day
I'm so proud I wanna holler out loud I'm livin' in a house of love

Now love is pourin' through the window, comin' in the door
I can feel it creepin' through the cracks in the floor
Bouncin' off the walls and the ceilin' up above
Since I found you I'm livin' in a house of love

Now love is pourin' through the window, comin' in the door
I can feel it creepin' through the cracks in the floor
Bouncin' off the walls and the ceilin' up above
Since I found you I'm livin' in a house of love

Mr. Mastodon Farm - Lyrics - Motorcade Of Generosity - Cake

Title: Mr. Mastodon Farm
Album: Motorcade Of Generosity
Artist: Cake
Composer(s): Greg Brown, John Mccrea

Lyric:
Birds fall from the window ledge above mine
Then they flap their wings at the last second

You see birds fall from the window ledge above mine
Then they flap their wings at the last second
I can see their dead weight just dropping like stones
Or small loaves of bread past my window all the time

But unless I get up walk across the room and peer down below
I don't see their last second curves toward a horizontal flight
All these birds just falling from the ledge like stones

Now due to a construct in my mind
That makes their falling and their flight
Symbolic of my entire existence

It becomes important for me to get up and see
Their last second curves toward flight
It's almost as if my life will fall unless I see their ascent

Mr. Mastodon farm, Mr. Mastodon farm
Cuts swatches out of all material
Mr. Mastodon farm, Mr. Mastodon farm
Cuts swatches out of all material

Birds fall from the window ledge above mine
Then they flap their wings at the last second
I said birds fall from the window ledge above mine
Then they flap their wings at the last second

But unless I get up walk across the room and peer down below
I won't see their last second curves toward a, a horizontal flight
All these birds just falling from the ledge like stones

Now due to a construct in my mind
That makes their falling and their flight
Symbolic of my entire existence

It becomes important for me to get up and see
Their last second curves toward flight
It's almost like my life will fall
My life will fall unless I see their ascent
Oh yeah, oh yeah, all right

Mr. Mastodon farm, Mr. Mastodon farm
Cuts swatches out of all material
Mr. Mastodon farm, Mr. Mastodon farm
Cuts swatches out of all material, everybody c'mon

Mr. Mastodon farm, Mr. Mastodon farm
Cuts swatches out of all material
Mr. Mastodon farm, Mr. Mastodon farm
Cuts swatches out of all material

Mr. Mastodon farm, Mr. Mastodon farm
Cuts swatches out of all material
Mr. Mastodon farm, Mr. Mastodon farm
Cuts swatches out of all material

Mr. Mastodon farm, Mr. Mastodon farm
Cuts swatches out of all material

Helicopter Song - Lyrics - Graham Nash

Title: Helicopter Song
Artist: Graham Nash
Composer(s): Graham Nash

Lyric:
Open up your window just enough to see me
Silver blade above us take us up into the air, flying
Open up your window just enough to see you
Sunlight on the silver, it could be me, it could be you, flying

So my life is in your hands now thrill me at your beck and call
Screaming up and down the canyons, falling over waterfalls
Just enough to see you, open up your window

So my life is in your hands now thrill me at your beck and call
Screaming up and down the canyons, falling over waterfalls
Just enough to see you, open up your window
Silver blade above us

Boy At The Window - Lyrics - Groove Theory - Groove Theory

Title: Boy At The Window
Album: Groove Theory
Artist: Groove Theory
Composer(s): D Brown, B Wilson, A Larrieux

Lyric:
Mmm
Aaa
Aaa aaa aaa, aaa aaa aaa
Aaa aaa

She was wearin' shockin' pink and jewelry of gold
Papa said, "Son, isn't she fine?"
(Bye)
Knew he would be out all night
Though son is only nine years old
This is how he's forced to spend his time
Lookin' out his window into someone else's home
Watchin' mother, father, child at play
(Play)
Wishin' he could be a part
But it's too hard to forget, he's alone
Ooh ooh, a typical day, yea yea yea, yaa

The boy wait out at the window, one more forgotten son
Ahh, lookin' to the corner, to see what he'll become
The boy wait out at the window, if he's still sittin' there
(Still sittin' there)
Are you even gonna care?

Papa always tells his son, "Keep sittin' at our window
Don't end up like me, watch from above, you can't go wrong"
More and more son's thinking, "Won't be too far but I must go in his eye"
(Eye)
The corner is the only place he can belong
(Ohh)
Son is smart enough to see it, won't make him somebody
But it's better than livin' with the hypocrisies above
No more smellin' ho's and liquor on the breath of daddy
Rather smell it on, the breath of brothers he don't know or love

The boy wait out at the window, one more forgotten son
Ahh, lookin' to the corner, to see what he'll become
The boy wait out at the window, if he's still sittin' there
(Still sittin' there)
Are you even gonna care?

Remember when the boy was young and untouched
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Happy with his window view, but look it's not enough
(His dreams)
His dreams are in the gutter and now he's just a number
(It's the)
All because he wanted to belong all
(All)
Oh baby, do it
Wanted to belong, ohh ohh
So he learned to play the role of hustler with no feelings
Thinking, they'll accept me if I prove that I'm real hard
Now he's learnin' firsthand of the word and it's true meanin'
The window he looks out of now includes what iron bars

The boy wait out at the window, one more forgotten son
Ahh, he looked to the corner and look what he's become
The boy wait out at the window, if he's still sittin' there
(Still sittin' there)
Are you even gonna care?

The boy wait out at the window, one more forgotten son
Ahh, lookin' to the corner, to see what he'll become
The boy wait out at the window, if he's still sittin' there
(Still sittin' there)
Are you even gonna care?

Are you even go?, ohh ohh, ohh ohh, ohh
(Turn it on, turn it on)
Gonna care
(Still sittin' there)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, naa naa naa naa naa
Taa raa raa raa raa, baa baa baa baa, ohh ohh ohh
(Just sittin' there)
Gonna care
Gonna care
Gonna care, yea yea yea yea yea yea yea yea
Gonna care, yea eee yea
Gonna care
(Just sittin' there)
Care

Cloud Of Dust - Lyrics - Who Needs Pictures - Brad Paisley

Title: Cloud Of Dust
Album: Who Needs Pictures
Artist: Brad Paisley
Composer(s): Chris Dubois, Brad Paisley

Lyric:
West Texas forecast, more of the same
Sunny and mild, no chance to rain
That old John Deere tractor ain't moved in days
Oh, but he's out there climbin' back on
Because he's yet to admit that his crops are all gone

She stares out the window, fightin' back tears
And watches him wastin' his time in the fields
An' they're havin' problems payin' the bills
All she knows that it won't be long
Before the bank finally places a lien on the farm

And the tractor keeps rollin?
The dust rises high
Creating the only cloud in the sky
He?s holdin? his ground
But it?s gettin? tough
He?s keepin? his faith
In the Lord up above
Prayin? for rain
Through a cloud of dust

Yesterday somethin' in town caught his eye
The old hardware store, had a 'Help Wanted' sign
He thought about stoppin' but he drove on by
'Cause he just can't bear to let go
After all it's the only life he's ever known

And the tractor keeps rollin?
The dust rises high
Creating the only cloud in the sky
He?s holdin? his ground
But it?s gettin? tough
He?s keepin? his faith
In the Lord up above
Prayin? for rain
Through a cloud of dust

Yeah, he's holdin' his ground
But it's gettin' tough
He's keepin' his faith
In the Lord up above
Prayin' for rain
Through a cloud of dust

West Texas forecast, more of the same
Sunny and mild, no chance to rain

'Tis Of Thee - Lyrics - Up Up Up Up Up Up - Ani Difranco

Title: 'Tis Of Thee
Album: Up Up Up Up Up Up
Artist: Ani Difranco
Composer(s): Ani Difranco

Lyric:
They caught the last poor man on a poor man's vacation
The cuffed him and they confiscated his stuff
They dragged his black ass down to the station
And said, okay, the streets are safe now

All your pretty white children can come out and see spot run
And they came out of their houses
And they looked around but they didn't see no one

My country 'tis of thee
To take swings at each other on the talk show TV
Why don't you just go ahead and turn off the sun

'Cuz we'll never live long enough
To undo everything they've done to you
Undo everything they've done to you

Above 96th street
They're handin' out smallpox blankets so people don't freeze.
The old dogs have got a new trick
It's called criminalize the symptoms while you spread the disease

And I hold on hard to something
Between my teeth when I'm sleeping
I was up and my jaw aches
And the earth is full of earthquakes

My country 'tis of thee
To take shots at each other on prime time TV
Why don't you just go ahead and turn off the sun

'Cuz we'll never live long enough
To undo everything they've done to you
Undo everything they've done to you

And I'm trying to see through the glare
Yes, I'm struggling just to see what is there

The one person who really knows me best, says I'm like a cat
The kind of cat that you can't pick up and throw into your lap
No, the kind that doesn't mind being held only when it's her idea

Yeah, the kind that feels what she decides to feel
When she's good and ready to feel it

Now I am prowling through the backyard
And I am hiding under the car
I have gotten out of everything, I've gotten into so far

I eat when I am hungry and I travel alone
And just outside the glow of the house
Is where I feel most at home

But in the window you sometimes appear
And your music is faint in my ears

Stand At Your Window - Lyrics - Jim Reeves

Title: Stand At Your Window
Artist: Jim Reeves
Composer(s): Jim Carroll

Lyric:
Stand at your window some night
Again let me see
The one who is holding
The best part of me
Stand at your window some night
Look at my side of town
Remember if you change your mind
You know where I'll be found

Each night I look up at your mansion
I can see the window where the light shines through
I wonder if you still remember
The one that you left for someone new

Stand at your window some night
Again let me see
The one who is holding
The best part of me
Stand at your window some night
Look at my side of town
Remember if you change your mind
You know where I'll be found

Each night as I wait here in the darkness
I watch your window so high above
I'm longin' for a look at my old sweetheart
Just a glimpse the one that I still love

Stand at your window some night
Again let me see
The one who is holding
The best part of me
Stand at your window some night
Look at my side of town
Remember if you change your mind
You know where I'll be found

Amarillo - Lyrics - Emmylou Harris

Title: Amarillo
Artist: Emmylou Harris
Composer(s): Rodney Crowell, Emmylou Harris

Lyric:
My baby never was the cheatin' kind
But it wasn't 'cause the ladies didn't try
Now everywhere we go they're walkin' 'round him slow
Givin' him a flutter and a sigh
Now I got him past that redhead in Atlanta
Lord, I walked all over that black-eyed Cajun Queen
But outside of Amarillo, he found his thrill, I'll tell you
Oh, I lost him to a jukebox and a pinball machine

Oh, Amarillo what you want my baby for?
Oh, Amarillo now he won't come home no more
You don't play a trick on me, hooked him in the first degree
He put another quarter, push Dolly and then Porter
While he racks up fifty thousand on the pinball machine

If we only hadn't stopped in there for coffee
If someone hadn't played the window up above
Oh, he'd still be mine today but he heard those fiddles play
One look and then I knew this must be love
Oh, that pinball machine's in the corner
Well, he saw the lights and he had to hear 'em ring
And he never was the same after he won his first free game
Oh, I lost him to a jukebox and pinball machine

Oh, Amarillo what you want my baby for?
Oh, Amarillo now he won't come home no more
You don't play a trick on me now you hooked him in the first degree
He put another quarter, push Dolly and then Porter
While he racks up fifty thousand on pinball machine

Oh, Amarillo what you want my baby for?
Oh, Amarillo now he won't come home no more
You don't played a trick on me, you hooked him in the first degree
He put another quarter, push Dolly and then Porter
While he racks up fifty thousand on pinball machine

Lyric:
They say it's not the money, you know it's not the money
Can you figure out what you want, what you need?
They try to pump it up, forget about the facts
Sometimes it hurts but it's never taken back

The left is right, the right is left
Oh yeah, I gotta get this thing right off my chest

Now black, white and gray
What can you do, what can you say?
How can they fool us today?
Hold your head up high, laugh till you cry, anyway
How can they fool us today?
Hey, hey, hey, hey

Talkin' twenty-four, seven, we're losin' what we're gettin'
They slap you down with a call from up above
It's a window to the world, a word to every man
Just gettin' it up, we'll all do what we can

They do it all for you, much better than the rest
Hey, it's alright if you can pass the test

Black, white and gray
What can you do, what can you say?
How can they fool us today?
Hold your head up high, laugh till you cry, anyway
How can they fool us today?
Hey, hey, hey

It's all good news, we can buy and sell
Yeah, don't stop now, you can unring a bell

Black, white and gray
What can you do, what can you say?
How can they fool us today?
Hold your head up high, laugh till you cry, anyway
How can they fool us today?
Hey, hey, hey

Black, white and gray
What can you do, what can you say?
How can they fool us today?
Catch the falling sky, we're all gonna die anyway
How can they fool us today?

How can they fool us today?

Valium Waltz - Lyrics - Old 97'S

Title: Valium Waltz
Artist: Old 97'S
Composer(s): Murray Hammond, Phillip Peeples, Stewart Miller, Kendall Bethea

Lyric:
To drink as if lovers of the ultra-familiar
Hover above her as she?s checking you out
Wander around her but never sleep with her
Watch her though windows as she pours herself out

You?re scoring her shipwrecks with fiddles and dobios
Laugh at the plainclothes police the crowd
Carry her under like water, ether
Spirit her off when the music?s too loud

And it?s written all over the face of the daughter
Of the mayor of Marble Falls
When she winds up in Denton town
Doing the Valium waltz

Dream of the day when your memory is fickle
Pine for a time when your mind is made up
Wonder how long ?fore you?re pear-shaped and wrinkled
Wind up on window-sills all knotted up

And it?s written all over the face of the daughter
Of the mayor of Marble Falls
When she winds up in Denton town
Doing the Valium waltz

When she winds up in Denton town
Doing the Valium waltz
When she winds up in Denton town
Doing the Valium waltz

Artist: John Hiatt
Composer(s): John Hiatt

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
Mama's in the bathroom
Waitin' to be saved
Papa's in the bedroom
Just diggin' up his grave

Brother's in the kitchen
Playin' with a knife
Sister's in the attic
Just laughin' at her life

And it's one more time
All the grapes are on the vine
And I'm gonna take what's mine
One more time

Everybody's nervous
The window shades are down
Angels flutter up above
The flame where love is found

Sit down at the table
Say, a little grace
Put on your dark glasses
And try to find your place

And it's one more time
All the grapes are on the vine
And I'm gonna take what's mine
One more time

Crawlin' up the stairs
'Cause I know your love is there

You don't have to tell me
All that I've done wrong
It wakes me up at night
And keeps me up the whole night long

But sooner or later
Everything's the same
And everybody's guilty
Of the pleasure and the pain

And it's one more time
All the grapes are on the vine
And I'm gonna take what's mine
One more time

Diggin' down deep
Baby, please don't fall asleep

And it's one more time
All the grapes are on the vine
And I'm gonna take what's mine
One more time

And it's one more time
All the grapes are on the vine
And I'm gonna take what's mine
One more time

And it's one more time
All the grapes are on the vine
And I'm gonna take what's mine
One more time

This House Is Empty Now - Lyrics - Burt Bacharach

Title: This House Is Empty Now
Artist: Burt Bacharach
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach, Declan Macmanus

Lyric:
These rooms play tricks upon you
Remember when they were always filled with laughter
But now they're quite deserted
They seem to just echo voices raised in anger

Maybe you will see my face
Reflected there on the pane
In the window up above our poor forlorn
And broken home

Still this house is empty now
There's nothing I can do
To make you want to stay
So tell me how am I supposed to live without you

These walls were lined with pictures
Remember the glass we charged in celebration
But now I fill my life up
With all that I can to deaden this sensation

Do you recognize the face
Fixed in that fine silver frame
Were you really so unhappy there
You never said

So this house is empty now
There's nothing I can do
To make you want to stay
So tell me how am I supposed to live without you

Oh, if I could just become forgetful
When night seems endless
Does the extinguished candle care
About the darkness

It's funny how my memory
Will bring you so close then make you disappear
Meanwhile all our friends must choose
Who they will favor, who they will lose

Hang the garland high or close the door
Or throw away the key
This house is empty now
There's no one living here you have to care about

This house is empty now
There's nothing I can do
To make you want to stay
So tell me how am I supposed to live without you

This house is empty now
There's no one living here you have to care about

This house is empty now
There's nothing I can do
To make you want to stay
So tell me how am I supposed to live without you

The Blues Are Brewin' - Lyrics - Billie Holiday

Title: The Blues Are Brewin'
Artist: Billie Holiday
Composer(s): Lou Alter, Eddie Delange

Lyric:
When the moon's kinda dreamy, starry eyed and dreamy
And nights are luscious and long
If you're kinda lonely, and all by you're only
Then nothin' but the blues are brewin', the blues are brewin'

When the wind through the window blows across your pillow
And tells you sleepin' is wrong
If love goes a thirsting till you feel like bursting
Then nothing but the blues are brewin', the blues are brewin'

Suppose you want somebody but you ain't got nobody
You only get a gleam in your eye
Till somebody's found you and puts their lovin' arms around you
You got the feelin' you want to die

But when the Lord up above you, sends someone to love you
The blues are something you loose
You're so busy doing the things that you're doing
That love ain't got no time for brewin' the blues

But when the Lord up above you, sends someone to love you
The blues are something you loose
You're so busy doing the things that you're doing
That love ain't got no time for brewin' the blues, the blues

Tomb Of The Unknown Love - Lyrics - Kenny Rogers

Title: Tomb Of The Unknown Love
Artist: Kenny Rogers
Composer(s): Michael Smotherman

Lyric:
One time I drove to see a girl across the country
One night as I was driving through to Mexico
I had the windows wide open, it was cold and I was crying
And I later laid her on the radio

Then I stopped that side of Tahoe through this tiny mining town
At a diner to be filled for the ride
And in the wind I heard this crying, like a heart broke cried a tune
I turned my collar up and went inside

Well, I saw this smiling waitress joshing friendly with these truckers
That give her pats and she gives them shoves
I said, "Miss, watch that awful crying", everybody laughed and said
"It?s the tomb of the unknown love"

And then they pointed out the window to this stone
All by myself, beneath the tree, beside the hill
And on that winter night I read these words alone
These words that are haunting me still, it said

Here lies a young man, struck down in his prime
By the awesome burning power of love
He couldn?t stand this true love cheating, so he shot the girl down
They hung him from that tree up above
I know that local folks say it?s the wind
But I know it?s crying from the tomb of the unknown love

So I drove on to my destination
I did the job my heart commanded of me
And when the sheriff sirens came up, I did believe and tried to find
They counted ten, I came out at three

So now I guess tomorrow morning, warden reads some kind of paper
How I?m gonna pay the state for what I?ve done
Hey, didn?t they put their shackles on me and they?ll take a little walk
They won?t have to drag me ?cos it?s said and done

And maybe someday they can put me at this stone
All by itself, beneath the tree, beside the hill
And lovers everywhere can come and meet alone
These words that forgive them up to, and it?ll say

Here lies a young man, struck down in his prime
By the awesome burning power of love
He couldn?t stand this true love cheating, so he shot the girl down
They hung him from that tree right above
I know that local folks say it?s the wind
But I know it?s crying from the tomb of the unknown love
