Your Love
Your love has put a spell on me
I feel the pull, like the river to the sea
It’s supernatural, it’s gravity
Your love has put a spell on me
Your love has got me spinning round
My heart’s in heaven, my feet are on the ground
Dancing, I’m ecstasy bound
Your love has got me spinning round
Your love keeps me satisfied
Sweet and pure, fruit on the vine
Just need a taste of divine design
Your love keeps me satisfied

Lay Me Down in the Indigo
Lay me down in the indigo
Stain my body, save my soul
In this field of toil and strife
Paint my secret between my eyes
Draw me gently to that glory place
Going to a land where freedom reigns
Leave the devil I know
Leave the devil I know
Lay me down in the indigo
Stain my body, save my soul
If I go south down to Mexico
Blues might be my everlasting home
If I go north, I might go blind
Selling these blues on down the line
The devil gonna follow me
Devil gonna follow me
Lay me down in the indigo
Stain my body, save my soul
Here I stand, the sun going down
Take me here and take me now
Light my flesh and bones on fire
Show my true desire
Rapture will be mine
Rapture will be mine
Lay me down in the indigo
Stain my body, save my soul

Wandrin' up to Heaven

Wandrin’
Tossin’ and a turnin’
My troubled mind won’t sleep
Dreamin’ ‘bout a river
So fast and so deep
It carries me away from home
What shall I do
‘cause I’m standin in the doorway
Between the sun and moon
I’m standin’ in the doorway
In the middle of the night
Something comin’ over
Me from on high
Could it be the goddess child
I used to know
She’s wandrin’ up to heaven
Lord I want to go
She’s wanderin’ up to heaven
With nothing left to lose
You can bet she wears her best dress
And her travelin’ shoes
Oh she’s been gone so long
Ya, I’ve missed her so
She’s wandrin’ up to heaven
Lord I got to go

Thunder Road
I haven’t breathed a word for 25 years
Driving down this highway, choking on my fears
Rain floods my vision, but somehow I see the sign
River to the left, Thunder Road on the right
I can feel the car coming to a stop
My hand on the door, this time I’ll get out
There’s something I gotta unload, maybe you got your due
When the river took your life, I want mine back from you
6 am, the river runs high
I’ll never forgive what you did that night
In all the rain, rain, rolling down Thunder Road
All the rain, rain, rolling down Thunder Road
Like the last scene of a movie, when everything gets quiet
I move in slow motion, no traffic in sight
All the people watching, left hanging on the edge
I don’t know what’s coming, I want the rain to end
Walking cross the highway, heading down the bank
River used to scare me, now I give it thanks
For taking you, lonely bastard and washing you to the bone
But there’s something dirty left behind, at the end of Thunder Road
CHORUS
You should know I survived, a miracle girl
But this torn-up dress still smells like it hurt
Lay it on the water and watch it disappear
You’ll get no more of me, my suffering ends here
CHORUS

Lies of Loneliness

Lies of Loneliness
Release me from the lies of loneliness
They tell me what to say and how to dress
They say there’s something wrong with waking up alone
These words keep hounding me wherever I go
Loneliness has made a fool of me
It tells me things only a fool believes
All I’m asking for is peace of mind
And a little company once in a while
Release me from the lies of loneliness
They say forget about Mr. Right, you failed that test
You better dance with any guy to any song
And keep holding on long after he’s gone
CHORUS
Release me from the lies of loneliness
They tell me I’m all washed up, I’m past my best
And there’s not much point in going out tonight
As I look into the mirror one more time
CHORUS
