O Lord, help me walkAnother mile, just one more mile;I'm tired of walkin' all alone. And Lord, Help me to smileAnother smile, just one more smile;Don't think I can do things on my own. I never thought I needed help before;I thought that I could get by - by myself.But now I know I just can't take it any more.With a humble heart, on bended knee,I'm beggin' You, please, for help. O come down from Your golden throne To me, to lowly me;I need to feel the touch of Your tender hand.Release these chains of darknessLet me see, Lord, let me see;Just where I fit into your master plan. I never thought I needed help before;I thought that I could get by - by myself.Now I know I just can't take it any more.And with a humble heart, on bended knee,I'm beggin' You, please, for Help.And with a humble heart, on bended knee,I'm beggin' You, please, for Help.

If you could read my mind, love,What a tale my thoughts could tell.Just like an old time movie,'Bout a ghost from a wishing well.In a castle dark or a fortress strong,With chains upon my feet.You know that ghost is me.And I will never be set freeAs long as I'm a ghost that you can't see. If I could read your mind, love,What a tale your thoughts could tell.Just like a paperback novel,The kind the drugstores sell.When you reached the part where the heartaches come,The hero would be me.But heroes often fail,And you won't read that book againBecause the ending's just too hard to take! I'd walk away like a movie starWho gets burned in a three way script.Enter number two:A movie queen to play the sceneOf bringing all the good things out in me.But for now, love, let's be real;I never thought I could act this wayAnd I've got to say that I just don't get it.I don't know where we went wrong,But the feeling's goneAnd I just can't get it back. If you could read my mind, love,What a tale my thoughts could tell.Just like an old time movie,'Bout a ghost from a wishing well.In a castle dark or a fortress strong.With chains upon my feet.But stories always end,And if you read between the lines,You'll know that I'm just tryin' to understandThe feelin's that you lack.I never thought I could feel this wayAnd I've got to say that I just don't get it.I don't know where we went wrong,But the feelin's goneAnd I just can't get it back!

Where the road is dark and the seed is sowedWhere the gun is cocked and the bullet's coldWhere the miles are marked in the blood and goldI'll meet you further on up the road Got on my dead man's suit and my smilin' skull ringMy lucky graveyard boots and song to singI got a song to sing, keep me out of the coldAnd I'll meet you further on up the road. Further on up the roadFurther on up the roadWhere the way dark and the night is coldOne sunny mornin' we'll rise I knowAnd I'll meet you further on up the road. Now I been out in the desert, just doin' my timeSearchin' through the dust, lookin' for a signIf there's a light up ahead well brother I don't knowBut I got this fever burnin' in my soulSo let's take the good times as they goAnd I'll meet you further on up the road Further on up the roadFurther on up the roadFurther on up the roadFurther on up the road One sunny mornin' we'll rise I knowAnd I'll meet you further on up the roadOne sunny mornin' we'll rise I knowAnd I'll meet you further on up the road.

The baby's eyes are red from weepingIt's little heart is filled with painAnd Daddy cried they're taking MamaAway from us on the evening train I heard the laughter at the depotBut my tears fell like the rainWhen I saw them place that long white casketIn the baggage coach of the evening train As I turned to walk away from the depotIt seemed I heard her call my nameTake care of baby and tell him darlingThat I'm going home on the evening train I pray that God will give me courageTo carry on til we meet againIt's hard to know she's gone foreverThey're carrying her home on the evening train

I have been a roverI have walked aloneHiked a hundred highwaysNever found a homeStill in all I'm happyThe reason is, you seeOnce in a while along the wayLove's been good to me There was a girl in DenverBefore the summer stormOh, her eyes were tenderOh, her arms were warmAnd she could smile away the thunderKiss away the rainEven though she's gone awayYou won't hear me complain I have been a roverI have walked aloneHiked a hundred highwaysNever found a homeStill in all I'm happyThe reason is, you seeOnce in a while along the wayLove's been good to me There was a girl in PortlandBefore the winter chillWe used to go a-courtin'Along October hillAnd she could laugh away the dark cloudsCry away the snowIt seems like only yesterdayAs down the road I go I've been a roverI have walked aloneHiked a hundred highwaysNever found a homeStill in all I'm happyThe reason is, you seeOnce in a while along the wayLove's been good to me

If heartaches brought fame in love's crazy game,I'd be a legend in my time.If they gave gold statuettes for tears and regrets,I'd be a legend in my time. But they don't give awards, and there's no praise or fameFor a broken heart that's been broken over love that's in vain. If loneliness meant world acclaim,Then everyone would know my nameI'd be a legend in my time.

We're the best partners this world's ever seen,Together as close as can be.But sometimes it's hard to find time in between,To tell you what you mean to me. You are the rose of my heart,You are the love of my life.A flower not fading nor falling apart,If you're tired, rest your head on my arm.Rose of my heart. When sorrow holds you in her arms of clay,It's rain drops that fall from your eyes.Your smile's like the sun come to earth for a day,You brighten my blackest of skies. You are the rose of my heart,You are the love of my life.A flower not fading nor falling apart,If you're cold, let my love make you warm.Rose of my heart. So hard times or easy times, what do I care,There's nothing I'd change if I could.The tears and the laughter are things that we share,Your hand in mine makes all times good. You are the rose of my heart,You are the love of my life.A flower not fading nor falling apart,If you're cold, let my love make you warm.Rose of my heart. You are the rose of my heart,You are the love of my life.A flower not fading nor falling apart,If you're cold, let my love make you warm.Rose of my heart.
