It's A Sin To Tell A Lie
03:17
|
|||
|
Be sure it's true when you say I love ya
It's a sin to tell a lie
Hundreds of hearts have been broken
Just because these words were spoken
I love you, yes I do, I care for you
But if you break my heart I'll sigh
So be sure it's true
When you say the words I love ya
It's a sin to tell a lie

I get the blues when it rains the blues I can't lose when it rains
Each little drop that falls on my window pane
Always reminds me of tears I've shed in vain
I sit and wait for that sun to shine down on me once again
It rained when I found you rained when I lost you
That's why I get the blues when it rains
I get the blues when it snows
those blues, I can't lose them, everybody knows
Each little flake that falls on my tender heart
Always reminds me of the fact that we're apart
Well I sit and wait for that sun to shine down on me once again
It snowed when I met you and it rained when I lost you
That's why I get the blues when it rains

When skies are cloudy and gray
They're only gray for a day
So wrap your troubles in dreams
And dream your troubles away
Until that sunshine peeps through
There's only one thing to do
Just wrap your troubles in dreams
And dream all your troubles away
Your castles may tumble, that's fate after all
Life's really funny that way
No use to grumble, smile as they fall
Weren't you king for a day?
Just remember that sunshine
Always follows the rain
So wrap your troubles in dreams
And dream your troubles away

I'm Confessin'
02:49
|
|||
|
I'm confessin' that I love you
Tell me, do you love me too?
I'm confessin' that I need you
Honest I do, need you every morning
In your eyes I read such strange things
But your lips deny they're true
Will your answer really change things
Making me blue?
I'm afraid some day you'll leave me
Saying "can't we still be friends"
If you go, you know you'll grieve me
All in life on you depends
Am I guessing that you love me
Dreaming dreams of you in vain
I'm confessin' that I love you, over again

Love Me Or Leave Me
03:19
|
|||
|
Love me or leave me (or) let me be lonely
You won't believe me but I love you only
I'd rather be lonely than happy with somebody new
You might find the night time the right time for kissing
Night time is my time for just reminiscing
Regretting instead of forgetting with somebody else
There'll be no one unless that someone is you
I intend to be independently blue
I want your love, don't wanna borrow
Have it today just to give back tomorrow
Your love is my love
There's no love for nobody else

Asking For A Friend
03:49
|
|||
|
Excuse me, do you know of heartbreak music?
The kind that might just make a grown man sigh?
Looking for the kinda stuff sends shivers down the spine
If you got some, please drop me a line
I’m only asking for a friend
A friend in need of a little helping hand
So if you got some let me know
Excuse me can you tell me, where is the nearest bar?
Do they serve tequila with their lime?
Bathed in crimson light, good people out tonight.
Out of mind or out of sight?
Doctor can you tell me how to mend my suffrin' heart
What is the prescription for this pain?
It doesn't last for long, but if you just hang on
Life will give you all you need and more

When Your Lover Has Gone
03:27
|
|||
|
When you're alone, who cares for starlit skies
When you're alone, the magic moonlight dies
At break of dawn, there is no sunrise
When your lover has gone
What lonely hours, the evening shadows bring
What lonely hours, with memories lingering
Like faded flowers, life can't mean anything
When your lover has gone

You always hurt the one you love
The one you shouldn't hurt at all
You always take the sweetest rose
And crush it till the petals fall
You always break the kindest heart
With a hasty word you can't recall
So If I broke your heart last night
It's because I love you most of all

Exposure Dollars
02:45
|
|||
|
Got a call for a gig just the other day
At a real nice place, or so they say (a713b9)
There's just one thing that the venue said:
"It's great exposure but there ain't no bread"
I can't pay rent with exposure dollars
Can't pay tuition or become a scholar
Can't lease a car or fix my bike
Better off to take a hike
That's why I ain't got nobody,
Yea, nobody...
nobody cares for me!
That's why I'm so sad and lonely,
Won't some sweet mama
come and take a chance with me?
I'll sing sweet ballads most of the time,
but if you want those django tunes you're gonna have to pay more than a dime

Hummin' To Myself
03:46
|
|||
|
I got the words
I got the tune
I've been rehearsing under the moon
But I got nobody to hear my song
So I'm hummin' to myself
I've got the place
I've got the time
I've got a lot of words that rhyme
But I got nobody to hear my song
So I'm hummin' to myself
I guess it just had to be
Won't someone listen to me
I got the words and I got the tune
I'd like to croon it under the moon
But I got nobody to hear my song

Just Friends
02:14
|
|||
|
Just friends, lovers no more
Just friends, but not like before
To think of what we've been and not to be again
Seems like pretending it's not the ending
Two friends drifting apart
Two friends, but one broken heart
We loved, we laughed, we cried, suddenly love died
The story ended, but we're just friends

Forged in Rhythm
by Keenan McKenzie
supported by 5 fans who also own “Asking For A Friend”
I love this ENTIRE album!!! How to chose a favourite (Well Read Baby?!) Keenan's album is a tour de force of songs that were written now, but he's so totally internalized the style that they sound like they are from another century! The musicianship, arrangements, and the voice of Laura Windley are great. This is my fave vocal showing from Laura, too! (and she has lots of great records) Can't recommend this highly enough
