1. Sail Away

Across the bay a lady waits to hold me tight
And my boat and I are ready to set sail
If the weather keeps on holding and the wind is right
I’ll be wrapped up in my sweet one’s arms tonight

And we will sail away on the wings of love into the night
Cast out our fortunes on the sea
Then we will go to sleep together with the rocking of the water
And dream of how our life will someday be
When she sailed away with me

As I skip across the waves my sails are high and full
My mind is on the one I wait to see
And I dream about an island somewhere in my mind
Where someday I will take her off with me

And we will sail away on the wings of love into the night
Cast out our fortunes on the sea
Then we will go to sleep together with the rocking of the water
And dream of how our life will someday be
When she sailed away with me

Then a smile comes upon me as I look across the bow
And I see a lady on the side
But she will wait no more as I head for the shore
Cause tonight I’m gonna take her for a ride

And we will sail away on the wings of love into the night
Cast out our fortunes on the sea
Then we will go to sleep together with the rocking of the water
And dream of how our life will someday be
When she sails away

We will sail away on the wings of love into the night
Cast out our fortunes on the sea
Then we will go to sleep together with the rocking of the water
And dream of how our life will someday be
When she sails away

We will sail away on the wings of love into the night
Cast out our fortunes on the sea


2. Broken Lady

She’s a broken lady, waiting to be mended
Like a potter would mend a broken vase
A broken lady, waiting to be mended
And have what’s left of the pieces put back in place

Her love is like a fortress around a man she would have died for
Taking care to take of all he needed
But the ladies fortress slowly turned into a prison
And the warning signs he gave, she never heeded

She vowed every morning that what God joined together
No one else in the world could pull apart
Then the walls came tumbling to the ground
And her world came crashing down around her heart

Now she’s a broken lady, waiting to be mended
Like a potter would mend a broken vase
A broken lady, waiting to be mended
And have what’s left of the pieces put back in place

She’s a broken lady, waiting to be mended
And have what’s left of the pieces put back in place


3. She Believes In Me

While she lays sleeping
I stay out late at night and play my songs
And sometimes all the nights can be so long
And it’s good when I finally make it home, all alone
While she lays dreaming
I try to get undressed without the light
And quietly she says how was your night?
And I come to her and say
It was all right, and I hold her tight

And she believes in me
I’ll never know just what she sees in me
I told her someday if she was my girl
I could change the world
With my little songs, I was wrong
But she has faith in me
And so I go on trying faithfully
And who knows maybe on some special night
If my song is right
I will find a way, find a way

While she lays waiting
I stumble to the kitchen for a bite
Then I see my old guitar in the night
Just waiting for me like a secret friend
And there’s no end
While she lays crying, I fumble with a melody or two
And I’m torn between the things that I should do
And she says to wake her up when I am through
God her love is true

And she believes in me
I’ll never know just what she sees in me
I told her someday if she was my girl
I could change the world
With my little songs, I was wrong
But she has faith in me
And so I go on trying faithfully
And who knows maybe on some special night
If my song is right
I will find a way, find a way


4. The Door Is Always Open

Saw your picture in the paper
And I see you’ve married good
And I know that he can give you
All the things I never could

But I know that he can’t give you
What you need most of all
So the door is always open
And the light’s on in the hall

Yes, the door is always open
And the light’s on in the hall
And you know that I’ll be waiting
If you ever come to call

When night falls on that mansion
And you’re lying in his bed
When he begs you for attention
Will you think of me instead?

When he reaches out to touch you
Is your face turned to the wall?
Well the door is always open
And the light’s on in the hall

Yes, the door is always open
And the light’s on in the hall
And you know that I’ll be waiting
If you ever come to call

Yes, the door is always open
And the light’s on in the hall
And you know that I’ll be waiting


5. The Last One To Know (& Olga Matušková)

I’m just like you
I’ve got to know
When something from
And it shows
It’s in your rise
And your smile not today
Just become to me
If your leaving they so

Don’t let me down
Don’t let me be
Let some to know

And had my thrills
And had my hate
And I had you gone
And the back a game
Is it a lye if my heart your dream
Just you through have at me
And join to be you just have to go

Don’t let me down
Don’t let me be
Let some to know

Will have done share of good time
By the back time
Where I’m friend
But me never gave of trying
And be never, never these to plans
So if your heart this dream
And theirs nothing plans to show

Don’t let me down
Don’t let me be
Let some to know

So if your heart this dream
And theirs nothing plans to show
Don’t let me down
Don’t let me be
Let some to know
Don’t let me down
Don’t let me be
Let some to know


6. Tear Time

Tear time starts without warning
Sometimes night sometimes morning
All it takes is the smallest thought of you
And then tear time starts crying all night through

Tear, it’s that time again
Tear time, crying time again
Starts, all the hurt begins
Without warning

Some days my eyes stay dry
Sometimes I forget but why
Why it brings new tears to cry until morning

All it takes is the smallest thought of you
Then tear time
Starts crying all night through


7. Semolita

I could tell you everything
About the way us country lovers do our thing
And honey, I could tell you everything
About the mountains and the country type of thing
Oh yes, I could tell you everything
But what’s the good of things that ain’t no use
I only like to talk about me and you

Semolita, Semolita, don’t you know that I love you
Semolita, Semolita, no one’s sweeter and it’s true
You could be my everything
My countryside, my rocky mountains too
Semolita, Semolita, don’t you know that I love you

Love is like an evergreen
It always sparkles like a rocky mountain spring
And sometimes love can treat you just as mean
As that old honeybee that gets you with his sting
Oh yes, I could tell you everything
But what’s the good of things that ain’t no use
I only like to talk about me and you

Semolita, Semolita, don’t you know that I love you
Semolita, Semolita, no one’s sweeter and it’s true
You could be my everything
My countryside, my rocky mountains too
Semolita, Semolita, don’t you know that I love you
Semolita, don’t you know that I love you
Semolita, Semolita, don’t you know that I love you
Semolita...


8. Stranger In Your Arms

It’s only been a week or two
But things have really changed
The more I stand here holding you
I can tell the feeling’s not the same
Oh, no

I’m a stranger in your arm
And a stranger to your charms
Another guy has caught your eye
I feel just like a stranger in your arms
(Stranger in your arms)

The lips that I am kissing now
Are not the lips I knew
The words of love you whisper now
I can tell somehow they don’t ring true
Oh, no

I’m a stranger in your arm
And a stranger to your charms
Another guy has caught your eye
I feel just like a stranger in your arms
(Stranger in your arms)

A stranger in your arms

The way you smile
The way you speak
Every little thing you do
Seems to say in every way
You’ve found somebody new

It don’t feel right with you tonight
I don’t know who’s to blame
But maybe when I hold you tight
You’ll forget and call me by his name
Uh huh

I’m a stranger in your arm
And a stranger to your charms
Another guy has caught your eye
I feel just like a stranger in your arms
(Stranger in your arms)

Well

I’m a stranger in your arm
And a stranger to your charms
Another guy has caught your eye
I feel just like a stranger in your arms
(Stranger in your arms)


9. Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song

It’s lonely out tonight
And the feelin’ just got right
For a brand new love song
Somebody done somebody wrong song

Hey, won’tcha play another
Somebody done somebody wrong song
And make me feel at home
While I miss my baby, while I miss my baby

So please play for me a sad melody
So sad that it makes everybody cry-y-y-y
A real hurtin’ song about a love that’s gone wrong
’Cause I don’t want to cry all alone

Hey, won’tcha play another
Somebody done somebody wrong song
And make me feel at home
While I miss my baby, while I miss my baby

So please play for me a sad melody
So sad that it makes everybody cry-y-y-y
A real hurtin’ song about a love that’s gone wrong
’Cause I don’t want to cry all alone

Hey, won’tcha play another
Somebody done somebody wrong song
And make me feel at home
While I miss my baby, while I miss my baby

(Hey) won’tcha play (wontcha play)
Another somebody done somebody wrong song
And make me feel at home
While I miss my baby, while I miss my baby

(Hey) won’tcha play (wontcha play)
Another somebody done somebody wrong song
And make me feel at home
While I miss my baby, while I miss my baby


10. It’s A Heartache

It’s a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it’s too late
Hits you when you’re down

It’s a fool’s game
Nothing but a fools game
Standing in the cold rain
Feeling like a clown

It’s a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Love him till your arms break
Then he lets you down

It ain’t right with love to share
When you find he doesn’t care for you
It ain’t wise to need someone
As much as I depended on you

It’s a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Hits you when it’s too late
Hits you when you’re down

It’s a fool’s game
Nothing but a fools game
Standing in the cold rain
Feeling like a clown

It ain’t right with love to share
When you find he doesn’t care for you
It ain’t wise to need someone
As much as I depended on you

Oh, it’s a heartache
Nothing but a heartache
Love him till your arms break
Then he lets you down

It’s a fools game
Standing in the cold rain
Feeling like a clown
It’s a heartache
Love him till your arms break
Then he lets you down
It’s a fools game
Standing in the cold rain...


11. Take This Heart

Take this heart, give it to a charity
Take this heart and give it to the poor
Take this heart and give it to the Salvation Army
I don’t think I need it anymore

Dear God, I’m writing You these words
’Cause I know You’ll understand
Dear Lord, I’m sending You this letter
’Cause I got to leave it in Your hands

Take this heart, give it to a charity
Take this heart and give it to the poor
Take this heart and give it to the Salvation Army
I don’t think I need it anymore

My man, he said he had to leave
This time he said there was no doubt, no doubt about it
I wear my heart upon my sleeve
Now I guess, I’ve worn it out

Take this heart, give it to a charity
(Take this heart)
Take this heart and give it to the poor
(Take this heart, give it to the poor)
Take this heart and give it to the Salvation Army
I don’t think I need it anymore
(I don’t think I need it)

Take this heart, give it to a charity
(Take this heart)
Take this heart and give it to the poor
(Take this heart, give it to the poor)
Take this heart and give it to the Salvation Army
I don’t think I need it anymore
(I don’t think I need it)

Take this heart and give it to a charity
(Take this heart)
Take this heart and give it to the poor
(Take this heart, give it to the poor)
Take this heart and give it to the Salvation Army
I don’t think I need it anymore, anymore, anymore
(I don’t think I need it, I don’t think I need it)
I don’t think I need it anymore
(I don’t think I need it anymore)
