Well I've been a lot places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs and I've made some bad rhymes
I acted out my life in stages
With ten thousand people watching
Now we're alone and I am singing my song for you
And I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but darling can't you see
There's no one more important to me
So darling can't you please see through me
'Cause we're alone now and I'm singin' my song for you
Well you taught me precious secrets of a truth, withholdin' nothin'
You came out in front but I was hiding
And now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
Just listen to the melody for my love's in there hiding
And I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over, remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singin' my song for you
Well you taught me precious secrets of a truth, withholdin' nothin'
You came out in front but I was hiding
And now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody for my love is in there hiding
And I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I've loved you for my life, you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over, remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singin' my song for you
We were alone and I was singin' my song for you

My love, leave yourself behind,
Beat inside me, leave you blind.
My love, you have found peace.
You were searching for relief.

You gave it all,
Gave into the call.
You took a chance and
You took a fall for us.

You came thoughtfully,
Loved me faithfully
You taught me honor,
You did it for me.

Today you will sleep away
You will wait for me, my love

Now I am strong (now I am strong)
You gave me all
You gave all you had, and now I am whole.

My love, leave yourself behind
Beat inside me, leave you blind.
My love, look what you can do.
I am mending, I'll be with you.

You took my hand, added a plan,
You gave me your heart.
I asked you to dance with me.

You loved honestly,
Gave what you could release.
Ah oh.

I know in peace you'll go.
I hope relief is yours.

Now I am strong (now I am strong).
You gave me all.
You gave all you had, and now I am whole.

My love beat inside me
My love

My love, leave yourself behind,
Beat inside me, I'll be with you.

Oh oh
Du du du oh

And if I drown in this sea of devotion
Just a stone left unturned
My need is deep
Wide endless oceans
Feel it furious
The fire burns on

Let there be love
Everlasting
And it will live eternally
Will we receive without ever asking?
I'm just curious

Gotta find me somebody
But there's nobody
To love me
And it's driving me crazy
There's nobody, to love me
Ooh, baby

Somebody tell me
How could there be nobody
Nobody to love me
And this life is so empty
There's nobody, to love me

Endless tears
Forever joy
To feel most every feeling
Forever more

And if I drown in this sea of devotion
Just a stone left unturned
My need is deep
Wide endless oceans
Feel it furious
The fire burns on

Let there be love
Everlasting
And it will live eternally
Will we receive without ever asking?
I'm just curious

Don't want you to see me crying
Just want you to see me flying
I need to get so high and
Want somebody to blow my mind

Don't want you to see me crying
Just want you to see me flying
I need to get so high and
Why don't you blow my mind
Blow my mind
Blow my mind

Got to find me somebody
But there's nobody
To love me
Anybody could love me

And it's driving me crazy
There's nobody to love me
Anybody could love me

Somebody to hold my hand
Someone who understands
Somebody to help me write
The poetry of life
Someone to love me
Someone who loves me
Ooh, baby

Endless tears
Forever joy
To feel most every feeling
Forever more

Gotta find me somebody
But there's nobody
To love me

And it's driving me crazy
There's nobody to love me

To feel most every feeling...

Floyd Lee Band - Mean Blues

Mean blues feel this is the end for me
Mean blues feel this is the end for me
Cruel world pullin' me down
Is making it hard tomorrow to see

Three days I haven't heard from my girl
I know somethin' is wrong
Three days I haven't heard from my girl
I know somethin' is wrong
She left me for another
there's a hole now where my heart belongs

There's no use for me searching
I have to let her go
Ooooh! There's no use for me searching
I have to let her go
there's nothing for her to come back to
Mean blues got me sinking too low


Drowned my sorrows with a bottle
I'm gonna lose my mind
Drowned my sorrows with a bottle
I'm gonna lose my mind
Think and drink, drank the bottom of the East River
That's where my heartache feels fine.

upon the autumn streets when the city is away
on some lonesome quest for winter
the man who sings his poems unravels his display
and the neon spectrums turn to splinters
and the nights are cold sometimes
but never for his pages
they don't sway against this wilderof the stage
and the ageless battle cries I unearthed from my eyes
no longer writhe because the singing poet is wise

they said that love of mine won't wither
that time will bring a treasure trove of things
and the shadows now are just a sliver
but still it stings
but it doesn't matter
when the poet sings

under the smoky chimes of roll up cigarettes and rhymes
beneath the ponds of makeshift filters
he told me that my sorries were
really not worth their weight sometimes
and it was best to let them wither
and though I've sung and rung
those bells of innocence undone
with the side of the sun
but within his song I sail
amongst the sounds where sunlight fell
when my experience begun
and when I'm weather-worn
the virtues of my mind have torn away
and no such sounds won't stray

and if I keep my sorries they'll not wither
and time will bring a treasure trove of things
and the shadows now are just a sliver
but still it stings
but it doesn't matter
when the poet sings

and when this drifting debutante
Madonna's come of age
and her days of youth are over
she and I will both surmise
that the poet's song will brush aside this man
just as the infant's sorrows hold her

and on the day that I am slayed
and by the colors of my mind betrayed
on the silence of the stage
the poet's song will set apart
and turn to flames my weary rungs
and set my phenomenons ablaze

he said my charming death would wither
and time would bring a treasure trove of things
and the shadows now are just a sliver
but still it stings
but it doesn't matter
when the poet sings
