"It's Not You"
Laura Hensley
The Dawn of the Sunset
Are you still my friend
Or are we coming to an end?
Will you be here never
Though I need you more than ever?
I'm starting to see
Where you come in...
CHORUS
I thought these fields would go on and on
(It would never last)
But now I see I'm really on the run
(Runnin' from the past)
And right now what I need is a friend
But it's not you!
Who knew?
I see you hiding
You're afraid that I'll be chiding
If I try to see you now
And find a way to make it up somehow
You don't know
I'm telling you goodbye...
CHORUS
(Guitar solo)
I thought these fields would go on and on
(It would never last)
But now I see you're really on the run
(Runnin' from the past)
And I thought you'd be there 'til the end
And I thought you were my life long friend
But it's not you!
Who knew?
It's not you!
Who knew?
I knew
Woo-hoo, I knew
It's not you!
"It's You"
Laura Hensley
How can they say you're done
When you're oh so young
They say you've been KO'd
But the bell has not yet rung
Who the hell do they think they're talkin' to?
It's You
Hell yeah
It's You
Yeah you get your kicks
By blowin' off the man
And now you're 26
And still doin the best you can
Sometimes I just don't have a clue
About you
Oh yeah
It's You
You're about as strong as an ox
Got a voice like no other man
(but maybe an animal?)
Your mind is like a steel trap
Rusty, and illegal in 47 States
But anyway...
Anyone who knows you
Could surely agree
That you, my friend, are the greatest
(As if you didn't see!)
No one else will ever do
Only you
hell yeah
It's you!
"When It Can, It Will"
Laura Hensley
Alarm bell's waking me in the dark
I reached over to slap it and fell outta bed
It gets worse from here
Go out to take a walk in the park
But the sign on the gate says, 'Park Closed Up Ahead'
Don't you hate that?
Not another minute of rest, can't sleep, no quiet solitude
Will everything go wrong today?
When it can, it will
I'm blinking in my passport pictures
My guitar string snapped at the worst of times
Somebody end this!
I just want to sleep for a while!
It won't hurt to miss a little lecture, especially in here!
I hate mornings!
Broken steel, wasted money, sleepy me-oh-my!
Must everything test my limits?
When it can, it will
Quite sure it will
"Children of the Night"
Laura Hensley
Sunset falls
The moon is out
Sold away my friend
Not a soul to turn to
Waiting for the end
Take a stroll
Through the park
Blow out the last light
Leave my worries on the wind
For children of the night
*CHORUS*
"Don't worry 'bout the next time
Disregard the last
Nothing's worth remembering
If it's in the past
I am just a child
But I'm not alright
It hurts to know I'm one of them
The children of the night."
Skipping stones
Across the lake
One for each I knew
Guess I knew I'd miss them
When the game was through
Maybe we'll talk
Probably cry
Not so much to say
Suddenly I'm reminded
I'm dreaming past the day
*CHORUS*
"I Won’t Hurt You"
Laura Hensley
Dawn of the Sunset
Time as little as whence I met you
'Twas when I saw the words in your eyes
And I knew that if ev'r you spoke them
Not a sad tear would they ever cry
I won't hurt you
Oh, you know I won't
Just call on my name
And say you'll be mine
Oh, my love, you know I will trust you
I'll not take you for granted tonight
When I ask you to tell me you love me
Please don't say you love me out of spite
I won't hurt you
You know that I won't
Just call on my name
And say you'll be mine
Please don't hurt me
Just say you'll be mine
"The Only Thing (to Hold on To)"
Laura Hensley
Dawn of the Sunset
I fell in love with a singer in the rain
But all he ever caused me was pain
I once loved a guitar strummin' man
How was I to know he was a flash in the pan?
But now I love a man who looks into my heart
How do I know he won't steal it away?
Please don't hurt me so, luv
You know my intentions aren't wrong
I've seen the same in my short life
Birds that fly away when they hear my true song
But now I've sung it to you, and here you still are.
*CHORUS*
Sometimes one must understand
Thinking doesn't fly
When talking about love
Between you and I
Simply trust trust
From the heart
It's the only thing to hold on to
When the mind is torn apart
Your kind is rare
One that I've never seen
An honest man, with an open mind
Unafraid in sharing his dreams
But if I asked you to tell me that you love me
Would I make you lie?
The only lie you'd make me do
Would be to lie close to you
I need you more than I thought I would
I'd stay with you if I could
It's not a lie to say I love you
'Cause I do
*CHORUS*
Though the mind is torn, my heart is safe
Safe because you didn't think about it
Because you didn't think
Because you loved
"You’re Not the Same"
Laura Hensley
Dawn of the Sunset
You knock at my door
I look at your face
Seems to me
Somethin's outta place
So strange
You're not the same
You buy me flowers
And fancy perfume
But you'll never buy
The role as my groom
Who's there?
You're not the same
I saw you last night
Don't pretend you didn't see
The one who's yellin' at you
Is the one who's supposed to be
Your one and only
Love and true blue
I thought I'd made a mistake
My mistake was you!
Drownin' your sorrows
In a bottle of beer
Shouldn't result
In her bein' here!
No more
You're not the same
I won't stand for it
Cause you're
Not
The same!
