Lost in May

gimme just a minute of your time
so i know i wasnt wastin mine
youre so close yet so far away
and whats with, these silly games you play?

cause some get all the glory
and some just fall from grace
but the sound of one voice
still puts a smile on my face

and i cant revoke my promise
no i wont apologize for that
cause i still love you baby
and i want you back

i see your lips are movin
think their saying its the end
oh, but i just cant hear you
or at least ill pretend

cause you cant see me dying
and i know im not to blame
and i know this isnt cancer
but i swear it kills the same

and i cant revoke my promise
no i wont apologize for that
cause i still love you baby
and i want you back

tears fall on my pillow
in the emptiness that left
so take a moment and listen
as i close my eyes...(bereft)

gimme something

sun goes down like van gogh paints the night
as the sky become crystal clear
my thoughts turn to you as i stare at the stars
in this ocean thats fading from here
(to blue)
i should have known t'was too good to be true
cuz im always letting you down
just another hopeless romantic boy
that is stuck in this lonely ol' town

gimme something that i can hold onto
(just)gimme something thats real
i've been praying for a star to fall
and i dont want to have to call
so tell how it is that you feel
(just) tell me how it is that you feel

im really sorry if i let you down
that was not how this was supposed to be
and i fumble through the afterthought
cuz i dont know if i forgot
buts its kinda tough to be me
(said)its kinda tough to be me

i can hear your voice from behind the door
through the tears as you push me away
and its troubling to think about but i dont want to have these doubts
so tell me if you want me to stay
(just) tell me if you want me to stay

***

it's evening now and the suns going down
in this lonely tired ol' place
and ive turned my thoughts to you
cause thats all that i can do
an im longing just to look at your face

you know that i fell for you
im sorry now but thats the truth
its not like i had a choice
an im trying to figure out if its you that i cant live without
while im longing just to hear your voice

wells gone dry

Hey mister wont you gimme some water
To quench my thirst.
You see the wells gone dry some days ago
and i swear that this place is cursed.

The Soldier mans come into my land and caused my people to flee.
They burned down my city and bombed my home and killed my whole family.

Hey Soldier wont you gimme some water,
to quench my thirst.
He says "I got a job to do and it don't involve you so leave or i'll shoot you dead"
