Alabama Boy Alice Peacock Music (ASCAP)

Transcription

1 Alabama Boy You look kinda like Jesus In those Italian paintings You seem so familiar - maybe that's why You're accustomed to sorrow It's part of your make-up You speak the language of hunger So do I Where was your God? Where was your mother? Where is the honor in hurting a child? Your blood on his hands A voice like thunder You won't give him the pleasure of seeing you cry Alabama boy inside a man Living your life the best that you can With a childhood full of not enough You could've chose hate but you chose love When you're in the room It's there on your face So clear to me that you're walking in Grace I'm always amazed at the things that you do You illuminate me And those around you And I don't even know you But I've known you forever We were forged by the same holy fire Far away eyes Filled with sadness and joy Contradiction, benediction, Alabama boy There's a raft on the river It's sacred water Sparkling beneath a southern sky Little Boy Blue Part Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer Floating away with a dream in your eye 2001 Alice Peacock Music (ASCAP)

2 Leading With My Heart Words by Alice Peacock / Joel Sayles Music by Alice Peacock Leading with my heart again I'm leading with my heart again I don't know if I'll lose or win But I'm leading with my heart again Putting my mind on hold Yeah, I'm putting my mind on hold I could be risking my very soul But I'm putting my mind on hold I must admit There's just something about your kiss I can't explain Wouldn't want to if I could anyway Leaping before I look I'm leaping before I look It may not be the same chance you took But I'm leaping before I look Walking before I crawl Walking before I crawl I might tumble, I might fall But I'm walking before I crawl I know it's dangerous I know it's foolish But thinking it over You can't make me do it 2001 Alice Peacock Music / Saylesongs (ASCAP)

3 Bliss Tom Littlefield / Alice Peacock Your touch is electric I felt it the first time you held me The way we connected So easily I've tried to define it Searched for the perfect phrase I've tried to describe it In a million different ways It's joy, it's ecstasy, it's truth, it's destiny And even love is not enough To tell you how you make me feel There's only one word for this I've got to admit it You took my heart by surprise Don't know how you did it But baby, I've never felt so alive It's joy, it's ecstasy, it's truth, it's destiny And even love is not enough To tell you how you make me feel There's only one word for this It's bliss Hey I already know what the future holds as long as you're here with me. It's joy, it's ecstasy, it's truth, it's destiny And even love is not enough to tell you how you make me feel It's faith, it's honesty, it's life, it's everything To say "I love you" is not enough To tell you how you make me feel... It's in your smile, it's in your kiss It's the reason I exist There's only one word for this It's bliss 2001 Universal / Songs of Polygram International, Inc. / Door Number One Music / Alice Peacock Music (ASCAP)

4 I'll Start With Me Kristen Hall, Alice Peacock, Emily Sailers Well we do okay with the things God gave us Will it be enough when it's time to save us One in three can't read So many mouths to feed We just sit and wait like a loaded gun We cloak ourselves in the great tradition The United States of Acquisition Every man for himself Me and no one else Will we ever learn there's a price to pay America the free Wake up from your fantasy Is the nation so divided we can't see That there's work to be done Something there for everyone, I know...i'll start with me 6 o'clock it's another story Gunman down in a blaze of glory Only ten years old Make's my blood run cold And the press descends like birds of prey Politicians stay in office Far too long to vote their conscience Lobbied, bought and sold Trading votes for gold They've forgotten that they work for us For the beast to stay alive it has to feed That's why in times of peace They create an enemy What we called the Big Red Scare is just my neighbor over there With hopes and dreams The same as me The same as me

5 I Hear You Say Alice Peacock Every now and then you say something I understand And every now and than you don't You may say you need some time alone to comprehend And all I hear is the 'alone' 'Cause I hear you it just wasn't meant to be And I hear you say I'm not good enough for you I hear you say that you want to be released I hear you say... You may say you know what's going on inside my brain That you can see right to the core And you will say that everything is gonna be ok that you could never ask for more But I hear you say that I'm totally a mess I hear you say that I don't stand a chance I hear you say that you're easily impressed I hear you say... You may say it's my perception Well, that may be so But you made yourself the expert Tell me, what is there to know-tell me, what is there to know You may say that I should spend more time inside myself I've been doing that for days You may ask me how I learned to speak my mind so well Let me count the ways Cause I hear you say it just wasn't meant to be I hear you say I'm not good enough for you I hear you say that you want to be released I hear you say I hear say, that I'm totally a mess! I hear you say, that I don't have a prayer I hear you say all the things you don't address I hear you say

6 I'll Be The One Alice Peacock/Angelo Sometimes when I open my mouth It's anyone's guess what might come out Last one to know is usually me My life is an open book I'll spell it out for you, you can take a look You might not like what you see And hey, I'm not what you're looking for I can tell you that and so much more I'll be the one Who Makes you cry I'll be the first To say goodbye You'll look for me And I'll be gone I will be, I will be the one The girl in the sunshine dress With her backpack full of emptiness Won't be misleading you today She knows from the soles of her shoes There's a lot more here than lonely blues Seems that's the only thing she plays And hey, I'm not the girl you used to know And that's why you gotta let me go I know these aren't the words you wanted me to say But you've got to give it to yourself before you give it all away Give it all away Alice Peacock/Angelo 1998 Alice Peacock Music(ASCAP)/Polygram Music International/Green Wagon Music(ASCAP)

7 Imagination Kristen Hall/ Alice Peacock/ Emily Sailers Another night alone Wishing you were holding me Staring at the phone This is nothing new for me Days seem like forever When I'm missing you this way I can keep you with me Even when I'm far away I'm using my imagination Building a re-creation Making it talk like you Love me like you do You show up picture perfect and you shine Even in my mind Underneath the stars This is where we'll meet tonight I will bring the flowers You pick out your favorite wine I carry you with me each day Everywhere I go I'm alright, I'll be okay I wanted you to know Is it cold there where you are You at home and me I'm on another interstate 2001 Ludakris Music/ Alice Peacock Music (ASCAP) / EMI Virgin Songs, Inc. / Godhap Music (BMI)

8 Some Things Get Lost Alice Peacock I dialed your number on the phone yesterday Thinking you would answer But then I remembered A conversation we had had Not so long ago Talking about our love Why we let it go We both agreed the timing wasn't right You said something I'll never forget that night Some things get lost Some things just disappear But not my love for you I'll keep that close and near Some things just fade Like scars and dreams But I'll keep your heart right here with me You said you'd realized in life That chances pass you by And what you thought was yours Slowly fades before your eyes And part of growing up Is that you can't go back in time You have to live with your regrets The things you leave behind We agreed to be the best of friends "Let's talk real soon, I gotta' go" you said Flying to Seattle when I heard the news I can't believe you're gone Not the light I knew 2001 Alice Peacock Music (ASCAP)

9 Parallel Life Buddy Mondlock / Alice Peacock In my parallel life I would be a painter Color and light would be all I see In my parallel life I'd live in the mountains And spend all my summers down by the sea In my parallel life I would take up dancing I'd be so graceful out on the floor In my parallel life I'd do all these things and more - for sure 'Cuz in my parallel life I can reach for the stars I can be what I want I can be where you are In my parallel life I could pick the phone up I'd make you laugh with my repartee In my parallel life I would have the courage But I just don't know what to say But parallel lines never meet So there I was walking down your street I rang your bell but I ran away In my parallel life I could solve this mystery Like Agatha Christie I'd have a clue In my parallel life I would act exactly like someone who knows what to do 2001 Major Bob Music, Inc. / Laughing Guy Music / Alice Peacock Music (ASCAP)

10 Into The Light Words by: Alice Peacock Music by Alice Peacock / Joel Sayles I'm not asking for perfection I only ask that you try You keep looking for answers outside yourself When you've had them the whole time It's time to see yourself as holy Time to see yourself complete Time to set aside the anger And the spirit of defeat Come into the light Yeah, be the One you're born to be Into the light Wake up from your only sleep The shadows can conceal what the heart wants to heal Come into the light I think it's great that you're searching Seek and ye shall find Knock and the door shall be opened To the windows of your mind Try not to be too impatient Go easy on yourself You got me in your corner If you need a little help 2001 Alice Peacock Music / Saylesongs (ASCAP)

11 All Consuming Love Alice Peacock I knew I'd seen your face before When I was in a fever You took my hand And wiped my brow Like a butterfly To a dying flame I'm drawn to you Fold me in your arms Fold me in Take me down to the water Take me under, set me free I want to be your lover, sister, daughter Want to be your fantasy I said this wouldn't happen again Swore it on the heavens above But like a lamb to the slaughter Can't fight this all consuming Love me, break me Take me down In ecstasy If I had to tell my story again It's been written in your eyes And could I get so close to you I'd melt away I wanna' hear you say That you're never gonna' leave Wanna' hear you say it Say it baby 1996 Alice Peacock Music (ASCAP)

12 Boy In The Backseat John Greenebaum/Alice Peacock Sometimes when I'm driving in my car I check the rear view mirror and there you are With a smile-it seems like only yesterday And while I never want your memory to fade I'm happy were I am with the choices I've made But sometimes I can feel you like you're next to me And the boy in the backseat had eyes of green Like fields of forever Do you know what I mean I don't know if at seventeen You can ever see beyond the dream Or the beat of your heart Flush in your face It had to be true Like the love with the boy in the backseat I knew After graduation we went our separate ways I flew off to collage-you just drove away With plans of travelling this great big world of ours And throughout the years I'd see your eyes On strangers faces-on other guys From small cafes to dark Midwestern bars But the boy in the backseat had miles to go From the isle of Antigua to the Vancouver coast Every now and then a postcard home Friends say you're married-all I know Is the beat of my heart Flush in my face It had to be true Like the love with the boy in the backseat I knew Everyone you ever love is a part of you And the boy in the backseat with eyes of green Like fields of forever do you know what I mean In the rose colored world of seventeen Real life can never touch that dream And the boy in the backseat won't ever change Time passes by-the radio plays On that lost and misty lover's lane

13 The sound of the night-the sound of the rain And the beat of your heart Flush in your face It had to be true Like the love with the boy in the backseat I knew 2001 Prophet Music/Alice Peacock Music (ASCAP)

14 Send My Heart Back Home Alice Peacock If I could shake Your face from my mind And the way you do those things you do It's not unkind Baby when I say That I wanna' get over you If I knew why The sky is so blue If I could trace the clouds Then smell of your skin And the way that you're holding me now 'Cuz I drink too much when I'm with you We're bound to start a fight or two Our timing's never really been just right When you're around I'm up in flames Sometimes I'm sure that I'm insane And there's nothing, nothing I can do I just wanna' get you off my mind I'm tired of the lying Tired of the crying Get out of my dreams Find some of your own And send my heart back home If I know why I love you so much That it hurt to the morning sky And I spend my time Thinking of your touch God never made me so wise 2001 Alice Peacock Music (ASCAP)
