TONIGHT I GUESS WE’RE IN LOVE
(Your Eyes Have It Tonight)

I never felt like this ever before
well maybe just once or twice
I guess that it’s Love I can alaways tell
the answer is always in the eyes

[ch] Your eyes have it tonight
they glow like the stars above
your eyes have it tonight
Tonight I guess we’re in Love

I been around the world five or six times
I never saw nothing like you
All those places all thosere faces
It took all this time to find you

ch

Just got back from the Orient
I was doin a job for some friends
my letter of credits hung up I aint got no doughr
but at leastin you I got a freind

ch

Let me stay with you for a couple of days
I swear I won’t get in the way
I got some business — collect on a couple of markers
and then I’ll be on my way

Now, Baby, It’s Never

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

Now, Baby, It’s Never

Everything you say
seems to mean goodby
Though we talked forever
I never did know why

Now baby its never
our time wont come again
This time forever baby
This time it’s the end

Last night when you kissed me
it burned me to my soul
Everything I thought I knew
was all a lie I know

Now baby its never…

I walked along the aqueduct
just before the dawn
The sun looked old and tired as it came up
but at least the night was gone

Now baby its never…

Fell

HE MIGHTA FELL
(C)1991 TK MAJOR

They found his car
didn’t find a note
but they found this rose
lying by the side of the road

The sky was dark
when I got the call
her voice shook bad
She could barely talk at all

CH: the rocks were slick
you could never tell
the sea so far below him
he might ha’ fell

I knew he was sick
never knew how bad
but I know he fought it
with everything he had

I guess we’ll never know
what the end was like
I know he cursed the darkness
I hope he saw the light

CH: the rocks were slick
you could never tell
the sea so far below him
he mighta fell

*The rocks were slick
*from the winter rain

1:29pm Sep 12,1991
*ad nauseum-

I Just Started to Cry

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

I Just Started to Cry

We ran through the summer night
it was hot and it was black
we ran until we were all alone
and didn’t even know the way back

We were young
we were in love
that summer we were one
when I look back I start to cry
to think of what is gone

A storm came up from the south real fast
and lightning lit the rain
I looked in her eyes for a moment
and then it was dark again

Our hands entwined and then our tongues
we were soaking wet
we made our way to the old Hansen barn
and there our souls met

I woke up the next morning
and she slept by my side
the sunlight poured through the hayloft door
and I just started to cry

I cried cause she looked so pretty lying there
I cried because I loved her so
I cried cause I knew she was the only one
and I cried cause I knew I was gonna go

Baby Said

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

B A B Y S A I D

baby said she’d love me
she’d always stand beside me
baby lied . . . but that’s all right
baby said forever
baby said never say goodby
she left that night

baby said a lot of things a
fool wouldn’t buy
she got caught a thousand times
I sorta let it slide
baby said she loved me
I think she thought she did
baby said a lot of things
she was such a crazy kid…

baby said honey
you ain’t got no money
I like that so
my old man’s made of loot
and it don’t buy no truth
and Baby knows

baby said save me
sometimes I think I’m crazy
She’d say anything–even the truth
But once you surrendered
it really was forever and
there wouldn’t be nothing anyone could ever do

baby said she’d love me
she’d always stand beside me
baby lied . . . but that’s all right
baby said forever
baby said never say goodby
she left that night

baby said a lot of things a
fool wouldn’t buy
she got caught a thousand times
I sorta let it slide
baby said she loved me
I think she thought she did
baby said a lot of things
she was such a crazy kid…

Dimmer

Turn Your Dimmer Down Low

Wake up baby, turn your dimmer lights down low (2)
When it gets yellow like this it hurts my eyes
but it eases my soul

Come here baby pay those monkeys in the shadows no mind (2)
Those monkeys are my demons — they been waitin for me such a long time

I been down — but it never looked like up to me (2)
I been down I guess it just aint what it used to be

Angel in the Bottle

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

Angel in the Bottle

There’s an angel
in the bottle
but the devil’s still alive
inside of me

I’m sitting
here in limbo
got my whole life
in back of me

Baby I thought
I’d be the one to save you
but I never dreamed
I couldn’t save myself

Well theres one thing
that by now is plain
through these forty years
of life death and change

There’s something broken
down inside of me
deep down inside, you see
I got this pain-

There’s Always Trouble

THERE’S ALWAYS TROUBLE (In a Fool’s Paradise)
(C) 1990, TK Major

9/7/90

There’s always trouble in a fool’s paradise
There’s always trouble but the fool don’t realize

Trouble comes knocking just whenever trouble wants
trouble knock down your front door and take everything you got

[ch] There’s always trouble but the fool don’t realize
there’s always trouble in a fool’s paradise

There’s always suffering, plenty to go around
but give it to some other guy, on some other side of town

I don’t know my neighbors and they seem nice enuff
but if the Insane Crips come and blow them away

it  makes it tough to maintain my bluff

[ch]

Trouble stay out of my backyard I can pretend it don’t exist
sure enough I feel real bad for that poor fool the trouble hits

but it really aint none of my affair I fold the paper away
cause I sure enough know I don’t wanta read bout
the trouble (clearly) headed thisa way (comin any day)

[ch]

Theres always turmoil in the heart of Babylon
but you go where the gold is and the rest just tag along
theres always loserrs in the race to stay alive
theres always casualties but sometimes the strong survive

A Star is Bored

Search AYoS | Random Song Lyric

A STAR IS BORED

A star is bored
prowling empty hotel hallways
He’s never alone
so how come he’s always lonely

Nothing brings him down
it’s all just the same
(he’s singin’) “If you think you’re bored,
then you should see me!”

Down in the bar
leaning into a smokey corner
trying not to catch her eye
(she says) “Hey, cowboy, why you dressed like that?”

And it always seems to
go down about the same
kills a couple of hours
but it don’t kill the pain

Tell him a story
– make it long, make it lonely
star-struck summer nights
moon on’a river run through everything

Nothing makes much sense
but he guesses that’s just life
Ya play a few songs (tunes)
and then they turn out the lights

nothing makes much sense
but he guesses that’s just life
you have a couple of laughs
and then you call it a night
