Niles City Blues - Jack Barksdale

Gonna stay in this moment Gonna lay here on the grass I don't need to feel lonely I am finally home at last And I don't mind being gone On adventures for a while, no, no 'Cause the best thing about it Is I know I'm coming back, oh Of all the magic places In the world I've been to This is where my heart is Oh, you know it's true No matter where I go I'm coming home to you Been walking down this street So many times my feet Know every brick and stone Could wear a blindfold No matter what I do I'm coming home to you And I don't know why Don't know why Don't know why I'm always feeling homesick, oh All I know All I know All I know Is this is where my heart is, oh I have seen many places Where the beauty never ends Different cities, friendly faces And perhaps I'm going back But I don't have to be Chasing every dream that I have, oh no 'Cause the thing is I've got more Love here than I can bare, ooh yeah Of all the magic places In the world I've been to This is where my heart is Oh, you know it's true No matter where I go I'm coming home to you Been walking down this street So many times my feet Know every brick and stone Could wear a blindfold No matter what I do I'm coming home to you And I don't know why Don't know why Don't know why I'm always feeling homesick, oh All I know All I know All I know Is this is where my heart is, oh Ooh, ooh, ooh Of all the magic places In the world I've been to This is where my heart is Oh, you know it's true No matter where I go I'm coming home to you

I look at you, you make me blind Why do you have to be so beautiful all the time? I know I can't be with you It's killing me to see you with someone else What to do? Now I am in the corner and watching you smile Watching you smile And I can't get over you I'm losing my mind All of the things that I wish I could tell you Every time when you're passing me by I fall in love, there's something about you I wish you were mine And if I only could be there to hold you It feels like I stop breathing when you're around I'm in love, there's something about you I wish you were mine So many times I wanted to Put my arms around you just to be close to you And in my head it's just you and I And I don't know why I feel this way Now I'm in the corner watching you smile Watching you smile, yeah Now I can't get over you I'm losing my mind, but All of the things that I wish I could tell you Every time when you're passing me by I fall in love, there's something about you I wish you were mine And if I only could be there to hold you It feels like I stop breathing when you're around I'm in love, there's something about you I wish you were mine I wish you were mine I wish you were mine 'Cause every time You pass me by I fall in love I fall in love All of the things that I wish I could tell you Every time when you're passing me by I fall in love, there's something about you I wish you were mine And if I only could be there to hold you It feels like I stop breathing when you're around I'm in love, there's something about you I wish you were mine, oh There's something about you I wish you were mine

I look in the mirror Who's looking back at me? I don't know what happened Guess we weren't meant to be I know we had problems I thought we could fix them But we got tired There's nothing left to do But to say goodbye and try to move on I'll get over you Only wish that I knew how to go on Baby you and me, we're so messed up together Even if we tried we'd be stuck here forever I don't understand right now how to make it through But I'll get over you And it's not like I'm gonna hate you It's what it is, nothing left that we could do Even though it hurts right now we will make it through I'll get over you I'll get over you Back when I met you We were like fireworks Thought nothing could break us But, oh, how we got burned Look at us now, we scream, we fight And no one knows the reason We're both getting out of line, ooh Now say goodbye and try to move on I'll get over you Only wish that I knew how to go on Baby you and me, we're so messed up together Even if we tried we'd be stuck here forever I don't understand right now how to make it through But I'll get over you And it's not like I'm gonna hate you It's what it is, nothing left that we could do Even though it hurts right now we will make it through I'll get over you Ooh I'll get over you Ooh We were holding on to something That we both know couldn't work so we should try to say goodbye You know we had our problems So now we have to try to move on Baby you and me, we're so messed up together Even if we tried we'd be stuck here forever I don't understand right now how to make it through But I'll get over yo And it's not like I'm gonna hate you It's what it is, nothing left that we could do Even though it hurts right now we will make it through I'll get over you Ooh I'll get over you Oh I'll get over you

I can hear your thoughts Like footsteps in the dark The pain stirs in your voice Cuts like daggers to my heart Don't you be afraid Baby, I'm here Stop running from love Baby, don't you fear 'Cause it's louder So much louder than words Baby, it's louder So much louder than words 'Cause it's louder So much louder than words Baby, it's louder So much louder than words Play the simple game With all your broken rules I'm calling out your name But my heart just still refuses Don't you be afraid Baby, I'm here Stop running from love Baby, don't you fear 'Cause it's louder So much louder than words Baby, it's louder So much louder than words 'Cause it's louder So much louder than words Baby, it's louder So much louder than words 'Cause it's louder So much louder than words Baby, it's louder So much louder than words

I've got too much in front of me And not enough left behind I've got too much in front of me I didn't leave enough behind I can hear the devil whisper Paying no heed to what you said I can hear the devil whisper Staking no way to his grave And I'm all torn down With these northern blues Got my soul in want of Some post-mortem truth I keep rollin' on howling at the moon But I'm all torn down With these northern blues I have no understanding For standing outside of time Three hundred thousand hours Still I remain hungry for the lie The world is disappearing Little by little, day by day Three hundred thousand hours Still the weather it has not changed And I'm all torn down With these northern blues Got my soul in want Of Some post-mortem truth I keep rollin' on howling at the moon But I'm all torn down With these northern blues I'm all torn down With these northern blues I'm all torn down I keep rollin' on howling at the moon But I'm all torn down With these northern blues Northern blues
