Tracklist

Snow in April

When the snow falls down in April
Instead of sunlight in your eyes
Then you know things are changing for better or you cry

I still can hear people talking
About making changes in their life
Well, I don't want to live that way, 'cause I'm doing alright

When the snow falls down in April
Your TV brings you the news
About a president claiming his victory
But I think we all will lose

When the snow falls down in April
They're still cutting trees in Brazil
I know it's fighting human nature, and I know we always will

We keep fishing and breeding
Drinking and eating and we never have enough
But we will never get too fat, 'cause we'll just cut it off

When the snow falls down in April
And a bomb goes off somewhere
A mother screams for her children, 'cause one guy didn't care

When the snow falls down in April
And we're sending kids off to war
They say we're fighting terror, but I am not so sure

When we failed to help the weaker men in our society
My son will ask me about this, and I'll say it wasn't me

Running and Hiding

Ever since you left me I'm feeling so alone
Everything around me is different, unknown
Wondering if your love can keep me hanging on
Wishing you'd be here instead of you being gone

Like a river that flows to a never-ending sea
Describes my love for you and how it should be

Running and hiding
Drinking and driving
To be with you
In every way

Once in a while I think of your pretty face
Moments later of your sweet embrace
Honey, I don't know if it's gonna be alright
The only thing I can think of is you by my side

Running and hiding
Drinking and driving
To be with you
In every way

But every night and day
I'm hoping that you would stay
That you'd stay with me

Running and hiding
Drinking and driving
To be with you
In every way
To be with you
In every way

Toothpick Louis

So long old cowboy, goodbye my friend
Guess I'll see you again
I'll cherish your stories
I'll tell all your jokes like they're mine

With your rolled up sleeves and your head in the wind
You could do anything
Selling the flowers, you painted the houses
and you sang like a king

Toothpick Louis, your hair is a mess
but your smile is just fine
You brought me the laughter and tears
Daddy of mine

You sat at the front porch with the dog by your side
Saw the world passing by
Complained to the neighbors about the weather
Told the story of your life

You came from a time when living was easy
Now everything's so fast
People stopped talking and you thought of leaving
Now that's all in the past

Toothpick Louis, your hair is a mess
but your smile is just fine
You brought me the laughter and tears
Daddy of mine

The magnolia in autumn is losing its leaves
It's setting them free
I hope where you're going, they are in bloom
And forever will be

Toothpick Louis, your hair is a mess
but your smile is just fine
You brought me the laughter and tears
Daddy of mine

One More Try

It's been a long time since you left me
I didn't mean to make you cry
I didn't mean to disappoint you
I didn't mean to tell you lies

And after all that we have been through
Won't you let me tell you why

One more try, I didn't know how much I loved you
One more try, let me put my arms around you
Living all these lonely nights without you
Can we give it one more try

It's been a long time since I kissed you
It always used to feel so good
And if you knew how much I missed you
You'd forgive me if you could

And now that we have found each other
Can't we give it one more try

One more try, I didn't know how much I loved you
One more try, let me put my arms around you
Living all these lonely nights without you
Oh, can we give it one more try

And after all that we have been through
Won't you let me tell you why

One more try, I didn't know how much I loved you
One more try, let me put my arms around you
Living all these lonely nights without you
Oh, baby can we give it one more try
Can we give it one more try

Baby Don't Go

In my dreams I know you're always by my side
Everywhere I go you linger in my mind
I've been waiting so long for a special girl
Then you came to lift me up and rock my world

Baby don't go
I just want you here
Right by your side
I won't hide my tears
Baby don't go
I've waited for so long
I want you so
Come and hold me strong

Gotta feeling that I can't resist you
From the moment I laid my eyes on you
Tell me honey what you wanna do
'Cause my heart is getting lost inside of you

Guess I've always known that you'd say goodbye
And time and time again you made me cry
I spent hours trying to get you on the phone
Lying on my bed, feels so alone

Baby don't go
I just want you here
Right by your side
I won't hide my tears
Baby don't go
I've waited for so long
I want you so
Come and hold me strong

Gotta feeling that I can't resist you
From the moment I laid my eyes on you
Tell me honey what you wanna do
'Cause my heart is getting lost inside of you

Baby don't go
I just want you here
Right by your side
I won't hide my tears
Baby don't go
I've waited for so long
I want you so
Come and hold me strong

Hold me in your arms
and whisper in my ear
Keep my body warm

And I Love Her

I give her all my love
That's all I do
And if you saw my love
You'd love her too
I love her

She gives me everything
And tenderly
The kiss my lover brings
She brings to me
And I love her

A love like ours
Could never die
As long as I
Have you near me

Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her

Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her
