I'm so far away from what troubles me It's a brand new day...I'm free I leave it all behind it just weighs me down It's just my guitar and me When everyone I love has gone away When they're too far to see, I'm okay When all else fails all hope is not lost I have my guitar with me ...

What's on your mind this fine rainy day...hey It's such a lazy day Let's put our differences away We can dream a different dream today If we make time we can say hello...hello..oh To someone we don't know Certain As We Are the world turns round ...

I knew last Winter wouldn't last forever                                                                                                        You weren't very far away                                                                                                                            Y ou couldn't stay away forever                              ...

You gave me your love...you made us a home                                                                                              When I felt lonely...you never left me alone                                                                                                We made mistakes and all was forgiven                                                            ...

I told you once before if you walk out that door  It's alright just don't look back  And when I think of you of what you're tryin' to do  It's alright I'll close my mind You Won't Make Me Cry... Here's good reason why I never have the time I had no idea of your intentions  You wanted me to play your silly games  I never thought I had to pay for your affection  I think it amuses you to put a man to shame
