Then came the morning It was bright like a light that you cut from your smile Then came the morning Like a flood from your storm that you cut from my heart Take the dawn with you when you leave Wash my hands of all this broken heave Never forget what you thought you'd never be If you ever let me break the spell of cryin' Leavin' what we could have found and Take my words, breathe 'em out like smoke Burn every single letter that I wrote Let the pages turn to ash, I don't want them back Everything you've always said to me Starts to sound like broken glass on speakers Spread it out all over places where I sleep Now you've finally left me, done with all your lyin' Joy come to me, boy and you won't see me cryin' Then came the morning It was lost when you left, when you took what I felt Then came the morning Then came the morning Then came the morning Then came the morning Then the storm raised the [?] [?] I thought you stole Start to feel the way I felt way before You broke down my front door Popped my heart up out the wood floor Now I'm done, let your smilin' be gone Then came the morning Then came the morning Then came the morning Then came the morning

There we were, hungry and scared, wishing we never had come Homes on our backs, dust in our hair, cursing the day we'd begun "Tell me I ask you," a friend of mine said, "Was it so bad where we were?" "We didn't have to come here to be dead, was what we had so nsure?" Then the quail came, falling like dew on the ground The quail came, each evening our food to be found And taking our curses and turning 'em round And filling our ears with those ungrateful sounds Unworthy to stand I bow down There we were, angry and naked, looking for someone to blame Our bodies were aching, babies were crying And each day was so much the same "I tell you people, this journey is crazy." I heard someone say in his rage "How long will it be 'till we realize our folly And get back to where we were safe?" Here we are, alone on a desert, fed dawn to dark, dusk to day Every morning we wake up to find just the measure Of food we need for the way Oh once we would ask if we could have more To see that our future survived But we know now at last, that nothing is sure Except that at evening the quail will arrive

(Chuck Jones/John Kilzer) Long legged shadows, Mississippi sunset She was standing like a candle that hadn't been burned yet The wind was blowing clouds like ashes Had my hand in my pocket, reaching for my matches I can see those cotton sheets a dancin' On her mama's clothesline in my head From my lips a lucky strike was danglin' The day was dying in a sea of red Then came the night warm and dark Draggin' it's chains across our hearts The moon was full, the grass was wet Making us scream, making us sweat Holding on tight, it was wrong, it was right Then came the night There was a time when love was a flower Now it's a vine that climbing up the tower And the river just rolls past the garden Where love won't grow and the ground is hardened I can hear the ringing mission bell Telling of the innocence that's dying A sound that I remember oh so well Then came the night warm and dark Draggin' it's chains across our hearts The moon was full, the grass was wet Making us scream, making us sweat Making us cling, making us claw Making us rise, making us fall Holding on tight, it was wrong, it was right Then came the night Breath on breath, skin on skin Can't go back there again Holding on tight, it was wrong, it was right Then came the night

Like a soldier with no armor In the middle of the battle I was broken I was broken It was only getting darker In the valley of the shadow I was hopeless I was hopeless I never thought that I would ever see the day When every single chain would break Or hear the voice of Heaven call my name Then Christ came Changing everything He took my sin and shame away Now every song I sing will be for Him Ever since the moment He walked in Then Christ came I was searching for a reason To believe that I could ever really matter Ever matter I was hoping, I was reaching So desperate for my soul to find its Savior I need a savior Then Christ came Changing everything He took my sin and shame away Now every song I sing will be for Him Ever since the moment He walked in Then Christ came, whoa You are the One I prayed for You are the One I was made for Hallelujah Jesus, You gave me purpose Jesus, You told me I'm worth it Hallelujah I never thought that I would ever see the day When every single chain would break Or hear the voice of Heaven call my name Then Christ came Changing everything He took my sin and shame away Now every song I sing will be for Him Ever since the moment He walked in, whoa You are the One I prayed for (You are the One) You are the One I was made for (You are the One) Hallelujah (ooh-ooh) Jesus, You gave me purpose (Jesus) Jesus, You told me I'm worth it (Hallelujah) hallelujah Ooh Then Christ came

Chris Wall Well I was raised in a sophisticated kind of style But my taste in music and women drove my folks half wild Mom and Dad had a plan for me, it was debutantes and symphonies But I like my music hot and my women wild You see I like my women just a tad on the trashy side When they wear their clothes too tight and their hair is dyed Too much lipstick and too much rouge Gets me excited, leaves me feeling confused I like my women just a tad on the trashy side Well you should have seen the look on the face of my Dad and Mom When I showed up at the door with my date for the senior prom They said, "Pardon us son, she ain't no kid, That's a cocktail waitress in a Dolly Parton wig" I said, "I know, ain't she great, Dad? That's the kind I dig." See I like my women just a tad on the trashy side When they wear their clothes too tight and their hair is dyed Too much lipstick and too much rouge Gets me excited, leaves me feeling confused I like my women just a tad on the trashy side. Yea, I like 'em sweet. I like 'em with a heart of gold But I like 'em brassy. I like 'em brazen and bold. They say opposites attract, well I don't agree I need a woman that's as tacky as me I like my women just a tad on the trashy side When they wear their clothes too tight and their hair is dyed Too much lipstick and too much rouge Gets me excited, leaves me feeling confused I like my women just a tad on the trashy side Yeah, I like my women just a tad on the trashy side.

Keith Sykes About her eyes, now they're misty shinin' About her hair, it's long and clean About her face, now it's soft and smiling But you can't trace her thoughts 'cause they can't be seen When she flows by you so gently She brings a breeze that just cleans the air When she speaks it's barely a whisper That tries to hide but you know it's there She smiles at you and it sends you sailin' It sweeps you yonder along in the night You glide with ease and you hardly feel it But you tell you're driftin' in a moments flight When she leaves you become quite drowsy So you recline in your easy chair She's left you there to think in silence About her eyes, her face, and her hair
