Holding The Flag - Steve Ward

There's a warning in the comfort That you're too good to be true They tell me over and over There's someone better for you You're the warmth I feel beside me And the fear of growing cold The continual reminder Of the risk we take when we get involved I've been warned enough You were the only red flag The only red flag that I could never raise You were the only red flag The only red flag that I could never raise At the pace that we've been running When our lungs begin to sting I'm hearing over and over "Moderation in all things" So you'll hopefully forgive me If I cannot slow this down When my body bends to weakness Your voice will be the sound That conceals the pain You were the only red flag The only red flag that I could never raise You were the only red flag The only red flag that I could never raise Love is one-way street Headed away from me Love is a one-way street Headed away from me Away from me You were the only red flag The only red flag that I could never raise You were the only red flag The only red flag that I could never raise Love is one-way street Headed away from me Love is a one-way street Headed away from me

Ere Jim, 'ave a seat an' I'll tell you a tale That'll cause your blood to run cold It was a dark and stormy night, three weeks out of Ilfracombe Bound for the isle of Lundy Just east of Devil's Slide Late in the middle watch there was a call from the fore topsail yard "On deck there, a sail, one point on the starboard bow" Through the mist and fog, a dark shape emerged A ghostly figure standing at its helm Course set, intent clear, it bore down upon us On the wind, a refrain to strike fear into the heart of any man Fifteen men on a dead man's chest Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum Drink and the devil had done for the rest Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum And another bottle of rum Fifteen men on a dead man's chest Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum (God preserve us) Drink and the devil had done for the rest Yo ho ho and a- Send them to the depths Just one more bottle of rum Raise the Black Flag Just one more bottle of rum Fifteen men on a dead man's chest Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum Drink and the devil had done for the rest Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum (we're gonna need a bigger cannon) And another bottle of rum (oh, let's use that one) Fifteen men on a dead man's chest Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum (on my command) Drink and the devil had done for the rest Yo ho ho and a- Send them to the depths Ah ha ha ha ha ha... Fire! Just one more bottle of rum Raise the Black Flag Just one more bottle of rum Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha... Ooarh, where's me rum?

Don't shoot until you see The red and white and blue in my eyes They say we're straddling fences And it's not so comfortable He thinks, he grew up to be boring And so he goes to change his life I saw you get up on your toes But don't step back too fast or you'll cut yourself in half I wanted All I wanted was to find There's something here inside of me they couldn't keep They woke up to hear me screaming Just shoot until you see The red on white and blue in my sky The proof is in the pictures And it's not so comforting He knows that one day they'll ignore him And push him to the side He said, he'd kiss the flag before he died He took one for his country She said, I'd do anything to have him back I wanted All I wanted was to find There's something here inside of me they couldn't keep They woke up to hear me screaming God help us Can we really win this fight? 'Cause no one knows which side you're on Anymore, anymore, I'm lost and by myself When this ends Will freedom be the casualty or will it only Will it be only me, will it be only me Will it be only me? I wanted All I wanted was to find There's something here inside of me they couldn't keep They woke up to hear me screaming God help us Can we really win this fight? 'Cause no one knows which side you're on Anymore, anymore, you're not lost or by yourself

Remember those photographs we took on that boat in Spain I took 'em down and ripped 'em up and threw them all away Remember on the back of one you wrote we were meant to be That doesn't really matter now 'cause you don't mean a thing to me Baby, you should've told me Told me from the start I thought that I was your only Till you put me on the shelf and found somebody else I never thought that you would ever do that Everything we had is gone You said you love me, said you'll never leave Maybe I just heard you wrong 'Cause I'm damaged, I'm damaged Don't know what to do Baby, I'm damaged, so, so damaged Because of you Got rid of those clothes you left Like you got rid of my dreams I don't wanna be reminded of All of the memories Ah yes, still have the tickets I saved from our very first date But it don't really matter now 'Cause you threw our love away Baby, you should've told me Because now I'm torn apart I thought that I was your only Till you put me on the shelf and found somebody else I never thought that you would ever do that Everything we had is gone You said you love me, said you'll never leave Maybe I just heard you wrong 'Cause I'm damaged, I'm damaged Don't know what to do Baby, I'm damaged, so, so damaged Because of you It's almost like you would never hear I almost feel like I don't care, girl I've almost got here to forget pain The only thing I've left to say Is how could you leave me so damaged Damaged, oh no no no no I never thought, never thought that you'd do that Everything is gone You said you love me, you said you'll never leave Maybe I just heard you wrong I never thought that you would ever do that Everything we had is gone You said you love me, said you'll never leave Maybe I just heard you wrong 'Cause I'm damaged, I'm damaged Don't know what to do Baby, I'm damaged, I'm so, so damaged Because of you Never, never thought that you would ever do that Everything we had is gone You said you love me, said you'll never leave Maybe I just heard you wrong 'Cause I'm damaged, I'm damaged Don't know what to do Baby, I'm damaged, I'm so, so damaged Because of you
