Stories - Jonah Blacksmith

I found a line and then it grew I found myself still thinking of you I felt so empty and now I'm fine But still it's burning, when will you be mine Too much of the same stories in our lives I think it's time for change, don't you? Too much of the same stories in our lives I think it's time for us to walk away from here Stories in our lives, we keep them all inside Stories in our lives, we keep them all inside Look at me, still in your mind Our memories, so intertwined Well you broke through, you found your way And so did I, no need to stay In the same old picture, tried and true We've been through that, let's look for something new Too much of the same stories in our lives I think it's time for change, don't you? Too much of the same stories in our lives I think it's time for us to walk away from here Do you remember lying on the beach so late at night? Do you remember running through the sprinklers that night? Do you remember all the songs that I have wrote for you? All the songs that I have wrote for you For you I remember the way you made me feel when I was with you I remember the smile that always brought me back to you That look in your eyes I never thought that this could be untrue That look in your eyes I never thought that this could be untrue Untrue Too much of the same stories in our lives I think it's time for change, don't you? Too much of the same stories in our lives I think it's time for us to walk away from here

Darling can you see something inside Can't be denied it's the way that you feel If you want it, you gotta try Taking the best of the lesson you know When the night has turned to dawn I will be gone Where's the reason and the strength to carry on Come back, I can see you far behind Taking a chance and forgetting the reason That I need you on my mind Making the best of the season till now Is there nothing in the world that takes the sound For the more we can conceive the more we found La la la la Darling can you feel it? I need your love I need the way that you make me feel Darling if you want it, you can be sure Taking the best of the lesson you know There so many in the stars watching the sky And you know somehow that most of them will die Darling can you see something inside Can't be denied it's the way that you feel If you want it, you gotta try Taking the best of the lesson you know When the night has turned to dawn I will be gone Where's the reason and the strength to carry on

A blacksmith courted me Nine months and better He fairly won my heart Wrote me a letter With his hammer in his hand He looked quite clever And if I was with my love I'd live forever Oh, where is my love gone With his cheeks like roses And his good black billycock on Decked round with primroses? I hope the scorching sun Won't shine and burn his beauty And if I was with my love I'd do my duty Strange news is coming to town Strange news is carried Strange news flies up and down That my love is married I wish them both much joy Though they can't hear me And may God reward him well For the slighting of me Don't you remember when You lay beside me And you said you'd marry me And not deny me? If I said I'd marry you It was only for to try you So bring your witness, love And I'll not deny you No witness have I, none Save God Almighty And may He reward you well For the slighting of me Her lips grew pale and wan It made her poor heart tremble To think she loved the one And he proved deceitful A blacksmith courted me Nine months and better He fairly won my heart Wrote me a letter With his hammer in his hand He looked quite clever And if I was with my love I'd live forever

I have a friend He's so wise He loves so much that it shines out through his eyes And I can see that what he gives Comes back a hundred times at least I have a kid He's so bright He stays awake to watch the stars all night When he sings, it's so pure, And he reminds me what I'm looking for And I have dreams I have dreams I have a place Out in the woods I didn't build it, but it built me good I don't come here as much as I should Cause every time it leaves me with something - something And I have dreams I have dreams I have dreams where we are like colors We blend with each other in the night I have dreams where we become colors Just like fireworks - we will paint the sky I've made choices that led me here Some out of love and some out of fear There are so many ways - ways that I could go How to choose? I really don't know But I was told by my mom and my dad That I should not succumb to the worries I might have There is a God, but trust your heart Trust your courageous heart I have dreams I have dreams I have dreams where we are like colors We blend with each other in the night I have dreams where we become colors Just like fireworks - we will paint the sky Just like fireworks Just like fireworks I have dreams
