Amanda - Waylon Jennings & The .357's

Stuck inside a house I built Locked the doors and closed the shutters With no strength left to cry for help I hid in bed under the covers Stuck inside a shade of blue Sadness was my only comfort I didn't know that only You Could fill my world with all the colors This is my awakening That while my heart was fast asleep You were resurrecting me I thought that I would never breathe I thought the pain would never leave But You're redeeming everything Now there's a dawn at every turn You speak to me in new beginnings A ray of sun to heal the hurt The music stops but You're still singing This is my awakening That while my heart was fast asleep You were resurrecting me I thought that I would never breathe I thought the pain would never leave But You're redeeming everything Everything, everything This is my awakening I'm never going back to sleep How could I after what I've seen? This is my awakening There's color now in everything Color now in everything This is my awakening I'm never going back to sleep How could I after what I've seen? This is my awakening There's color now in everything Color now in everything

Dad sold every record he ever owned Floyd and Zeppelin, Beatles, Stones A lifetime of music gone just to get me through Momma always had her a second job Gone with the sun until six o'clock Whatever it took to get by she was gonna do Didn't dawn on me back then but now I see That without them, I wouldn't be me When I'm up here on this stage The spotlight's on my face But I see you Sure it's me behind this mic stand And it's me strumming this Gibson It's me they love to give the credit to But me don't mean a thing without you You make sacrifices every night and day Never hear the crowd scream your name But there's a smile and a hand to hold when the show is through I'd give it all up just to keep your love But you wouldn't let me 'cause you care too much About watching me watch my dreams all come true When I'm up here on this stage The spotlight's on my face But I see you Well sure it's me behind this mic stand And it's me strumming this Gibson It's me they love to give the credit to But me don't mean a thing without you You worked overtime to buy those tickets The gas, the beer and the babysitters Just to spend one night with your baby at a country show Paid twenty damn dollars for a place to park Got in line early to grab your spot So you deserve every word, every line of your favorite tune When I'm up here on this stage The spotlight's on my face But I see you Well sure it's me behind this mic stand And it's me strumming this Gibson And it's me they love to give the credit to I'm just trying to give the credit where credit's due Because me don't mean a thing without you

I can still recall Our last summer I still see it all Walks along the Seine Laughing in the rain Our last summer Memories that remain We made our way along the river And we sat down in the grass by the Eiffel tower I was so happy we had met It was the age of no regret Oh, yes Those crazy years That was the time of the flower-power But underneath We had a fear of flying Of growing old A fear of slowly dying We took a chance Like we were dancing our last dance I can still recall Our last summer I still see it all In the tourist jam Round the Notre Dame Our last summer Walking hand in hand Paris restaurants Our last summer Morning croissants Living for the day Worries far away Our last summer We could laugh and play And now you're working in a bank A family man, a football fan And your name is Harry How dull it seems Are you the hero of my dreams? I can still recall Our last summer I still see it all In the tourist jam Round the Notre Dame Our last summer Walking hand in hand I can still recall Our last summer I still see it all Walks along the Seine Laughing in the rain Our last summer Memories that remain

Here's to us, one more toast And then we'll pay the bill Deep inside both of us, could feel the Autumn chill Birds of passage, you and me we fly instinctively When the summer's over and the dark clouds hide the sun Neither you nor I am to blame when all is said and done It's been there in my dreams The scene I see unfold Who at last, flesh and blood to cherish and to hold Jealous fools will suffer Yes I know and I confess Once I lost my way when something Good had just began Lesson learnt, it's history when all is said and done In our lives we've walked some strange and lonely treks Slightly worn but dignified and not too old for sex Clear-headed and open-eyed With nothing left on try Standing calmly at the crossroads, no desire to run There's no hurry anymore when all is said and done Standing calmly at the crossroads, no desire to run There's no hurry anymore when all is said, and done

Maybe far away Or maybe real nearby He may be pouring her coffee She may be straightening his tie Maybe in a house All hidden by a hill She's sitting playing piano He's sitting paying a bill Betcha they're young Betcha they're smart Bet they collect things Like ashtrays and art Betcha they're good Why shouldn't they be? Their one mistake Was giving up me So maybe now it's time And maybe when I wake They'll be there calling me "baby" Maybe Betcha he reads (Betcha he reads) Betcha she sews (Betcha she sews) Maybe she's made me a closet of clothes (Closet of clothes) Maybe they're strict As straight as a line Don't really care As long as they're mine So maybe now this prayer's (Maybe now this prayer's) The last one of it's kind Won't you please come get your "baby" Won't you please come get your "baby" Maybe
