Look for you everyday Wondering if you’ll be here Searching for your precious eyes Wonder if you look for mine You’re a hard woman to know And, my darlin’, I love you so A hard woman to know I know I long to tell you so Keep for you the love I hold Careful to protect it Treasure you with all my soul Wonder if you’ll ever know You’re a hard woman to know And, my darlin’, I love you so A hard woman to know I know I long to tell you so Reach for you in my dreams But all I find is pillow Draw you close, tenderly I wonder, do you reach for me You’re a hard woman to know And, my darlin’, I love you so A hard woman to know I know I long to tell you so

My Security 03:21
Darlin’ when you let all your feelings roll You know it hurts my head When I know inside we could collide I walk on eggshells instead It’s so hard to fight it, when I have to face me Those familiar old ways have a definite say My security Honey when you won’t be the way I want You know it frustrates me And it tears inside when you say that I’m Caught up in my history It’s so hard to fight it, when I have to face me Those familiar old ways have a definite say My security Baby when you spend all my dreams on things You know it burns in me And the flame inside nearly drives me blind So why can’t I just get free It’s so hard to fight it, when I have to face me Those familiar old ways have a definite say My security Those familiar old ways have a definite say My security, my security

Mainline 02:39
You’re the one who found me frightened and alone Showed me how to fix up anything that might be wrong You’re the one who pushed me harder all the time Built the need inside me ‘til you had me on the line Got me hooked to the mainline Can’t get enough of love Got me hooked to the mainline You’re all I’m thinking of Your love in my blood keeps me alive Got me hooked to the mainline, your love so fine You’re the one I look for when I start my day Help me keep my hope up, even when I loose my way You’re the one who stands strong, guards my heart and mind Who I live and die for, my Redeemer and my life Got me hooked to the mainline Can’t get enough of love Got me hooked to the mainline You’re all I’m thinking of Your love in my blood keeps me alive Got me hooked to the mainline, your love so fine Got me hooked to the mainline, your love so fine

I’m in love, what will it be Heart’s lying on broken glass I’m in love, must flee the scene Failures on love in the past Lived my life only for me Nobody ever was part Blind to how cruel I could be Till you pierced the dark of my heart I’m in love with a new love Brand new day for me Don’t want them dark days back again Need to learn how to live like a friend Time my chains all fall away Take on the harm I have done Leave behind old broken ways Get on in this season of love I’m in love with a new love Brand new day for me Don’t want them dark days back again Need to learn how to live like a friend I’m in love, what will it be Heart’s lying on broken glass I’m in love, must flee the scene Failures on love in the past I’m in love, must flee the scene Failures on love in the past

There are times loneliness tears away at me Empty times when no one fills the need In those times, it’s hard, for me to reach Stuck in the pain, my way, paralyzed Yet, through it all I feel your guiding hand Your kind, still voice in the night Through it all your love keeps moving me Out of the darkness into the light There are times I am lost, whimp’ring like a child Drifting through an endless sea of frowns In those times, I know, you call to me Lost in the pain, I’m chained, down inside Yet, through it all I feel your guiding hand Your kind, still voice in the night Through it all your love keeps moving me Out of the darkness into the light Through it all your love keeps moving me Out of the darkness into the light

There were two struggling downhill, two running up Four hearts together – Two hurt enough Young hearts and old hearts, new and the wise Passing each other in time Reach out and touch someone as you go by Reach out, remember, the circle of life First we run so quickly, excited to rise Hoping it’s graceful on the “slow-down” side Well our eyes found each other, laughter and sigh Two folks a dreaming, two back in time Four people seeing days of their prime Passing each other in time Reach out and touch someone as you go by Reach out, remember, the circle of life First we run so quickly, excited to rise Hoping it’s graceful on the “slow-down” side Reach out and touch someone as you go by Reach out, remember, the circle of life First we run so quickly, excited to rise Hoping it’s graceful on the “slow-down” side Hoping it’s graceful on the “slow-down” side

The Memory 03:45
The memory took my heart back in time Got me to look at my ways in your life You and I strolling Chestnut Ridge Road One happy place I considered our home Two cats in the yard, two butterflies One sweet November to one sweet July Two cats in the yard and love’s melody Echoes sweetly, from back then, for you and me You know that I loved the feeling that Fall Cool starry nights, time with you most of all Apple pies baking, fragrance divine Swear that our love was so good at that time I did not know what it takes to survive Lost in a dream, too much me was the crime After I learned it, my heart slowly changed Too late for us, so the memory remains Two cats in the yard, two butterflies One sweet November to one sweet July Two cats in the yard and love’s melody Echoes sweetly, from back then, for you and me

First time I saw your face I dearly was moved Then I saw you walk away From our miracle room Oh… time can go, slipping through our hands Oh… do you know, will you want it back Next day, while in my prayer A voice did I hear Pointing me the Shepherd’s way My resistance was clear Fight gone, I’m on my way Still I can’t say why Waiting there… You reappear Precious step back in time Oh… time can go, slipping through our hands Oh… do you know, will you want it back Years now have come and gone Both heartache and cheer Never would I trade that day By His love you are here Oh… time can go, slipping through our hands Oh… do you know, will you want it back Oh… time can go, slipping through our hands Oh… do you know, will you want it back Oh… do you know, He can bring it back

Nowhere Fast 02:08
Pressing on to get the glory How many lives have passed For gold or fame, the same old story Going nowhere fast Blessed are all the survivors Blessed are they who have moved on Blessed are we who have known the pain Lost somebody to Lady Fame Many lines make up a story A few an epitaph So where’s the gain, the fame, the glory In what doesn’t last Blessed are all the survivors Blessed are they who have moved on Blessed are we who have known the pain Lost somebody to Lady Fame Pressing on to get the glory How many lives have passed For gold or fame, the same old story Going nowhere fast

Can hide away in silence Disguising what is true Play the game of pretty words What good would it do? When in love, in love I can be The man my daddy taught me to be Can leave behind hopes and dreams To fade like memories Spend my life on this world’s wealth That won’t get me free So in love, in love I will be The man my daddy taught me to be My love I won’t be silent I’ll tell you where I stand Won’t live life pretending Be just who I am For in love, in love I must be The man my daddy taught me to be For in love, in love I must be The man my daddy taught me to be
