"All My Friends"

All my friends,
all live in pain.
Longing for the warmth of chilhood,
to bring them home again.
All my friends,
got broken hearts.

I am at ease in the arms of a woman.
Although now,
most of my days i spend alone.
A thousand miles,
from the place i was born.
But when she wakes me,
she takes me back home.

Baby I want you
Baby I want you
Baby I do

Darling I love you
Darling I love you
Know that it's true

Album: AMOS LEE - Amos Lee (2005)

I keep on livin',
to keep from cryin'.
I keep on dreamin',
to keep from dyin'.
I keep on trying,
I aint gonna stop.

Album: AMOS LEE - Supply And Demand (2006)

You speak of love
But you ain't no lover
You were a friend
More like a brother

As the miles pass beneath me

Well, the morning came like a freight train
Bearing down on me from a thousand miles of rail
Well it came and gone and kept rolling on
Laying up all night with my tear-stained sheet as my veil

I don’t want to see you again, I don’t want to feel your breath
As you leaned on me so peacefully while we slept
And I don’t want the keys to our door, I don’t live there anymore

Yesterday I got lost in the circus
Felling like such a mess
Now I’m down I’m just hanging on the corner
I can’t help but reminisce
When you’re gone all the colors fade
When you’re gone no New Year’s Day parade
You’re gone
Colors seem to fade

Album: AMOS LEE - Last Days At The Lodge (2008)

Hello
It's good to see you coming back again
It's been a long time
Since I sat with you, my friend

I'll lend an ear

My heart is a flower
That blooms every hour
I believe in a power
Of love
Well there's no ..
There's .. soft on the pillow
When I pray that we'll go back
To love

Album: AMOS LEE - Supply And Demand (2006)

Don't wanna be a martyr in this war
Don't wanna hear the same excuses anymore
That everything's a threat
And it's only gonna get worse if we let it

Don't wanna blame the rich for what they got

Hello again,
I know it's been a long time coming
You say you've been, been now a long time running

You used to be, so beautiful
But you lost it somewhere along the way
You used to be so beautiful
But it's easy now to walk away

And if you wanna leave me
Baby go ahead
I know you don't believe me
Oh when I finally said

That I'm not myself
When I'm with you
It takes and breaks

The one I love is lost without the least bit of explanation
Just goes to show the futility of self-preservation
Now all I seem to see is all this war, and goin' amongst our nations
What good will it do

Now everybody wants to know the secrets to our salvation
Forever reading on and on, from Genesis to Revelation
Never stopping for a second to examine situations

Well I walked over the bridge
Into the city where I live,
And I saw my old landlord.
Well we both said hello,
There was no where else to go,
'cuz his rent I couldn't afford.

Well relationships change,

Listen
Listen to them church bells ringing
Listen
Listen
You can hear them hounds calling off in the distance
If you listen
You can hear the engines stalling
You can hear the angels falling

Album: AMOS LEE - Supply And Demand (2006)

I'm coming from a long line of pain
My family suffered greatly for my gain
And I think a lot about
How my daddy died
So I would not live with it

Album: AMOS LEE - Amos Lee (2005)

I aint no wide eyed rebel,
oh but i aint no preacher's son.
Now, i see the trouble,
in all the loving that I've done.

And the world,

I followed her down by the railroad tracks
Waited until she couldn't turn back
Her clothes in a pile and her blood in a stream
Yeah a lullaby don't always turn to a dream

Took both her kids and put em in the garage
And took off in her car and became a mirage
Out in the desert where the air is clean

Shake off that towel baby
Come over here
I'm gonna leave you smiling woman
Leave you smiling from ear to ear, yeah

We're gonna shake from the middle of the clock on the wall
Not worrying about a thing at all
Except making love

Come here my darling
Come on now
You may not be searching
You may not know how

We're all born strangers
This we can see
We may fear each other

Who knows my secret broken bone?
Who feels my flesh when I am gone?
Who was a witness to the dream?
Who kissed my eyes and saw the scream
Lying there?
Nobody

Who is my reason to begin?

Sometimes I get the feelin' like I just ain't a damn bit of good
Sometimes I get the feelin' like a better man than me never would
Just then a chord is drawn
And all the pain there is gone
There are storms and
there's storms and there's storms
through the night

Album: AMOS LEE - Last Days At The Lodge (2008)

Been kicked around so long
You're starting to get used to how it feels
The taste of blood that's in your mouth
There's still somehow it always heals
Don't know how you keep on getting up
From all those ghostly blows

You've been playing your own game, baby
And you didn't give me the rules
Now I'm sitting on the sideline
And I'm feeling just like a fool

You don't have to speak
I can see it in your eyes
Say no more

Album: AMOS LEE - Amos Lee (2005)

Did you believe it,
when they told you they discovered you?
And that everything is free,
as long as you do what they tell you to.
You think it's true?

Album: AMOS LEE - Supply And Demand (2006)

Farewell my sweet
Well the time that was coming
The road has begun to move beneath my feet
Good things come to an end
Well I hope through the pain
The heartache and strain we can still remain friends

You come home late and you come home early
You come home big when you're feeling small
You come home straight and you come home curly
Sometimes you don't come home at all

What in the world has come over you?
What in heaven's name have you done?
You've broken the speed of the sound of loneliness;

Walking down Roy street
Streets sing a symphony
Ain't been the hardest way
Ain't had the greatest day
Walking past memory
The pain that she gave me
Don't you know I'm trying to be a bigger man?

One by one we watched them fall,
Like trees on the country side.
Yeah you stayed right with me babe,
The river was rolling tide

Oh you stay, stay with me
Oh you stay, stay with me.

Album: AMOS LEE - Last Days At The Lodge (2008)

[Verse 1]
He got a new mercy
A new grace
Street corner preacher
With the angry face
He got 2 years off

Album: AMOS LEE - Supply And Demand (2006)

Somethin' gotta give with the way I'm livin'
Seems I'm gettin' down everyday
The more I strive, the less I'm alive
And seems i'm gettin' further away

Oh well all my superstitions

Sweet pea
Apple of my eye
Don't know when and I don't know why
You're the only reason I keep on coming home

Sweet pea
What's all this about

Sympathize

It ain’t no jive
I was burnin’ alive
Whenever you walked in the room
It happened so quickly
I was feelin’ so sickly
Like a lover who lost his muse

Album: AMOS LEE - Supply And Demand (2006)

Saturday night and my head is spinning
I wonder whose heart I've been sinning for
A cold rain blows on my window
A soft scent gone from my pillow

One more step that I've been takin'

Should of let you walk away the first time.
Instead of letting you walk back through my door.
As if i needed anymore paaain.
O iv been wake not so long, iv been sleep not so long in the rain.
Rain fallin down.
Iv been stressin all the time and i cant seem to find a little piece of mind!

I guess i just vaporize everything thats inside.

Lately I, I've been heading for a breakdown
Every time I leave my house
It feels just like a shake down
Between street sweepers and the pushers are the lawyers
Who may as well be butchers
Between the small timing hustlers who all, seem to feed upon each other

[Chorus]
