Nostrand and Fulton - Freddie Hubbard

No more writing home Just to tell you what you've always known What you've always known Simply I'm alone A hundred miles north, where I belong Oh where I belong I'm always fighting with the thought that I could do more Than sit and wait and wonder when my life became a bore Some more An expert of the inside edges of my window Never seen a coast or even where the wind goes I'm not asking you to hurry up and wait But if you live a life in letters you might never really feel alive You might never really feel alive You might never really feel alive Whisper to me slow Give me a chance to hear the voice I barely know That I barely know Soon you'll have to go From 7A to pens, just to say hello Just to say hello I'm always fighting with the thought that I could do more Than sit and wait and wonder when my life became a bore Some more An expert of the inside edges of my window Never seen a coast or even where the wind goes I'm not asking you to hurry up and wait But if you live a life in letters you might never really feel alive You might never really feel alive You might never really feel alive You might never really feel alive You might never really feel alive You might never really feel alive You might never really feel alive You might never really feel alive

It's only once, how could it hurt? If we only have our hands behind our backs I told you once, I don't need her It's been better ever since I got her back Cause I got caught up on fire, but no more Though it took a while I finally think I get it I get it Girl, girl, girl why you wanna make me blue? I'm asking you girl, girl, girl why you wanna make me blue? I caved once, maybe twice before Digging down for what I had just a little more A mindful of blinded bringers Never mindful of what they might explore And I thought I knew this time, there's no more Though it took a while I finally think I get it I get it Girl, girl, girl why you wanna make me blue? I'm asking you girl, girl, girl why you wanna make me blue?

Round' here lately it's been rough Too much heartbreak not enough love I've been doubtin' if I'll ever find myself again And I worry I won't ever be enough Oooh I've been searching for the truth And then I tell myself Whatever don't kill makes you tough Can't tap out when the times gets rough I know it ain't easy but the only way that we get stronger Is get a little burnt yeah take a little fall Hurts like hell when you're goin' through it all Get knocked down but we get back up Whatever don't kill you makes you tough tough Whatever don't kill you makes you tough tough Aw yeah I've been beat up black and blue I've been broke a time or two I've had nothing left to lose But then my faith pulled me through No more searching for the truth And now I tell myself Whatever don't kill you makes you tough Can't tap out when the times gets rough I know it ain't easy but the only way that we get stronger Is get a little burnt yeah take a little fall Hurts like hell when you're goin' through it all Get knocked down but we get back up Whatever don't kill you makes you tough tough Whatever don't kill you makes you tough tough We fall down we get up It's how we do it where we from We got us we got love We tough We fall down we get up It's how we do it where we from We got us we got love We tough Whatever don't kill you makes you tough Can't tap out when the times gets rough I know it ain't easy but the only way that we get stronger Is get a little burnt yeah take a little fall Hurts like hell when you're goin' through it all Get knocked down but we get back up Whatever don't kill you makes you tough tough Whatever don't kill you makes you tough tough We tough we tough
