Drops in the Ocean - Hawk Nelson

I get by, but I'm tired of myself And I doubt that I ever will find someone else Lonely days fall like drops in the lake of our love I just want it to be like it was And I want you to be as you were long ago I go down to the edge of the lake Where I wait through the night for the dawn light to break Memories of yore crash like waves on the shore of my mind And I pray that the stars will align I just want us to be who we were long ago I just want what was How I yearn for the years we were young and in love I get by, but it's hard to forget In the smoke of denial and the fog of regret Dismal and dark, some like clouds in the sky of my soul And I hear thunder roll I look up at the uncaring sky With a prayer on my lips and a tear in my eye Oh, how the heart burns like fire in the light of the moon I just hope you'll be coming back soon You're my long-lost love Can we wind back the wheels to the way that it was?

Crown of leaves, high in the window on a gold morning Young today, old as a railroad tomorrow Days are just drops in the river to be lost always Only you, only you You know Years ago, birds of a feather would arrive nightly Gone you know, held to another like clutched ivy On the shore, speak to the ocean and receive silence Only you, only you You know Here, as the caves of my memory fade I'll hold to the first one "I wouldn't turn to another," you say On the long night we've made Let it go Only you, only you You know Only you, only you You know Here, as the caves of my memory fade I'll hold to the first one "I wouldn't turn to another," you say On the long night we've made Let it go Let it go Speak to me slow my dear No ghost of course in here Pleased to be lonesome quiet and clear All is alone in here

If I only knew that day That you would start to fade away And you don't get what I get Let me show you That you don't see what I see When I'm with you If you don't get what I see tell me why you Call me out on Friday To fuck it all up on Sunday With those couple of couple of things you said Like double up double up get ahead Then stir up trouble up trouble until we break harder Tell me do you remember Your teardrops of September They were just drops of salted water Now you're chasing death at every corner Now you're chasing pain along the border Tell me do you still remember Easier to feel pain Than to feel nothing again Then you just say what you say Let me with her Cause I can't feel a thing well I'd rather Be killing pain in her bed seems sweeter Drop dead feelings and black clouds Bullshit talking, why you Acting like you forgot those things you said Those couple of couple of cry for help Senseless, motionless cause your heart Breaks harder that way Tell me do you remember Your teardrops of September They were just drops of salted water Now you're chasing death at every corner Now you're chasing pain along the border Tell me do you still remember Tell me do you remember Your teardrops of September They were just drops of salted water Now you're chasing death at every corner Now you're chasing pain along the border Tell me do you still remember

That big eight wheeler rolling down the track Means your true loving daddy ain't coming back 'Cause I'm moving on I'll soon be gone You were flying too high for my little old sky, so I'm moving on That big loud whistle as it blew and blew Said hello to the Southland, we're coming to you And we're moving on, oh, hear my song You had the laugh on me so I've set you free and I'm moving on Mister fireman, won't you please listen to me 'Cause I got a pretty mama in Tennessee Keep moving me on, keep rolling on So shovel the coal, let this rattle a-roll and keep moving me on Mister engineer, take that throttle in hand This rattler's the fastest in the southern land To keep moving me on, keep rolling on You're gonna ease my mind, put me there on time and keep rolling on I told you, baby, from time to time But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind Now I'm moving on, I'm rolling on You've broken your vow and it's all over now, so I'm moving on You switched your engine, now I ain't got time For a trifling woman on my main line 'Cause I'm moving, you done your daddy wrong I've warned you twice, now you can settle the price 'cause I'm moving on But some day, baby, when you've had your play You're gonna want your daddy, but your daddy will say "Keep moving on, you stayed away too long" I'm through with you, too bad you're blue, keep moving on

Your cheatin' heart will make you weep You'll cry and cry and try to sleep But sleep won't come the whole night through Your cheatin' heart will tell on you When tears come down like fallin' rain You'll toss around and call my name You're gonna walk that floor the way I do Your cheatin' heart will tell on you Your cheatin' heart will pine some day, And crave the love, you threw away. The time will come when you'll be blue, Your cheatin' heart will tell on you. When tears come down like fallin' rain You'll toss around and call my name You're gonna walk that floor the way I do Your cheatin' heart will tell on you Your cheatin' heart will tell on you

Life has a funny way Of keeping me on my toes Oh how my shoulders ache Under the weight of my woes My tears fall On my old guitar And I just wail and weep Over softly bending strings Lovers and friends the same Everyone's fair game Everyone can hurt your heart When it all falls apart My tears fall On my old guitar Time and time again My surest friend My tears fall On my old guitar And I just wail and weep Over softly bending strings No matter where I go The music guides my soul Through all the ups and downs It can help turn me around My tears fall On my old guitar And I just wail and weep Over softly bending strings

If the wife and I are fussin', brother that's our right 'Cause me and that sweet woman's got a license to fight Why don't you mind your own business Mind your own business 'Cause if you mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine Oh, the woman on our party line's the nosiest thing She picks up her receiver when she knows it's my ring Why don't you mind your own business Mind your own business If mind you mind your business, then you won't be mindin' mine Well, I got a little girl that wears her hair up high The boys all whistle when she walks by Why don't they mind their own business Mind their own business 'Cause if they mind their business, then they won't be mindin' mine Now if I want to honky tonk around 'til two or three Now, brother that's my headache, don't you worry 'bout me Just mind your own business Mind your own business 'Cause if you mind your business, and you won't be mindin' mine Mindin' other people's business seems to be high-toned I got all that I can do just to mind my own Why don't you mind your own business Mind your own business If you mind your business, you'll be busy all the time
