Jets to Brazil
02:49

Polly put the kettle on
And hopped the next train to Babylon
Didn't even put her makeup on
Holly caught the next jet to Brazil
Down in Rio she goes lightly still
Didn't look back and she never will
Sally got tired of being told to wait
Molly dropped by to commiserate
Didn't take long 'til they were feeling great
Learn to love and let her go
Or, you might just make her stay
For another day
You should count your lucky stars
No, it might not last forever
But a lot of people never
Know love like hers today
Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
If you wanna clear that candlestick
Don't waste your days being all lovesick
'Cause some love just wasn't meant to last
And some love's over far too fast
Some love's better off in the past
Free birds, they don't belong in a cage
Three words, they don't belong on a page
We hurt when we've gotta act our age
There ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Chasing rainbows every day
Trying to make her stay
You should count your lucky stars
No, you might not find forever
But a lot of people never
Know love like hers today
And if you know love like hers
Then you know
There's no love like hers
Oh
She's already walking away
You'll never make her stay
But you should count your lucky stars
No, you might not find forever
But a lot of people never
Know love like hers today
Polly put the kettle on
And hopped the next train to Babylon
Didn't even put her makeup on

Telling Time

How many hours in a day?
How many days 'til I'm weak?
Already wasting away
And the second hand
Ain't even touched your cheek
How many months in a year?
How many tears can I cry?
Keeping my calendar clear
In case I didn't hear
Or you didn't mean "goodbye"
Sometimes
We're tongue-tied
And the words all come out wrong
Sometimes
We're wide-eyed
And we can't see what's going on
Most of the time
I'm doing fine until our song comes on
Then I long for you, baby
And baby, you're long gone
How many nights does it take?
I lost count, but, first glance - a lot
I spend them lying awake
And holding on
To somebody you're not
Sometimes
We're tongue-tied
And the words all come out wrong
Sometimes
We're wide-eyed
And we can't see what's going on
Most of the time
I'm doing fine until our song comes on
Then I long for you, baby
And baby, you're long gone
How many hours in a day?
How many days 'til I'm weak?
Already wasting away
And the second hand
Ain't even touched her cheek

Shine

No, I'm not from Texas
But Lyle said to come anyway
So I got here as fast as I could
Walked out in Laredo yesterday
Now I get why Dallas
Is sometimes written off as just a dream
And I believe it was destiny
For Houston to give the world a queen
I confess I might sometimes
Forget the Alamo
But underneath this Big Bend sky
There's one thing that I know
The eyes of Texas have nothing on yours
A smile in El Paso could light the Corpus shore
The Austin city limits are almost San Antone
We're a thousand miles from anywhere, but this sure feels like home
You're the lone star in the Amarillo sky
And you shine
Oh, you shine
There's a doctor in Waco
Who helps me push on long after four
When a lot of Bliss's hearts
Can't bear hearing Galveston no more
Looking back, leaving Luckenbach
Was painless for the wailin' and the wine
We've been driving all night long
And just now crossed the Potter County line
I confess I might sometimes
Forget the Alamo
But every day that Willie's high
There's one thing that I know
The eyes of Texas have nothing on yours
A smile in El Paso could light the Corpus shore
The Austin city limits are almost San Antone
We're a thousand miles from anywhere, but this sure feels like home
You're the lone star in the Amarillo sky
And you shine
Oh
No, it ain't always roses
We got bluebonnets, too
And I know the closest
I'll ever get to heaven
Is drifting through Texas with you
The eyes of Texas have nothing on yours
A smile in El Paso could light the Corpus shore
The Austin city limits are almost San Antone
We're a thousand miles from anywhere, but this sure feels like home
You're the lone star in the Amarillo sky
And you shine
Oh, you shine

Anchors

The best laid plans
Of mice and men
All hit their fans
Every now and then
This isn't where you thought you'd be
You're running out
Of self belief
So full of doubt
You'd find relief
Castaway on a dying reef
I'm gonna lift you up
Like a rising tide
We're gonna sail away
To a better life
Take all your problems
Lay 'em on me
No need to charge your phone
Just forget your keys
Baby, where we're going
We'll be free
From it all, take your problems
Lay 'em on me
And we'll drown them in the sea
They can all get in the sea
In photographs
You always smile
But you haven't laughed
For quite a while
Because you're sure the joke's on you
'Cause each day goes
From bad to worse
And your cashflow's
In reverse
You've hit the bottom and fallen through
I'm gonna lift you up
Like a rising tide
We're gonna sail away
To a better life
Take all your problems
Lay 'em on me
No need to charge your phone
Just forget your keys
Baby, where we're going
We'll be free
From it all, take your problems
Lay 'em on me
And we'll drown them in the sea
They can all get in the sea
And I know
You hurt more
Than you would ever say
It's not what
You came for
But I sure hope that you will stay
And the hardest part
Of letting go's
Not the fall
Or the freedom
It's the fear that you'll fly
Or things won't change at all
Your problems are anchors
And you don't need them
I'm gonna lift you up
Like a rising tide
We're gonna sail away
To a better life
Take all your problems
Lay 'em on me
No need to charge your phone
Just forget your keys
Baby, where we're going
We'll be free
From it all, take your problems
Lay 'em on me
And we'll drown them in the sea
They can all get in the sea

All of Our Stories
03:44
|

All of our stories are true
But nothing is truer than all the love
I have for...
People say you look a lot like me
It's hard for me to see
Anyway, who cares what people think
The truth is people stink
Let's keep that between you and me
Just like our pirate days at sea
Where I am the captain
And you are my crew
One day I'll leave
All this sailing to you
Now it's your story
And I'm passing through
And all of our stories are true
But nothing is truer than all the love
I have for you
People say everything has its place
No laughing in their face
Anyway, you can colour out the lines
Don't pay them any mind
Let's keep that between you and me
Just like our pirate days at sea
Where I am the captain
And you are my crew
One day I'll leave
All this sailing to you
Now it's your story
And I'm passing through
And all of our stories are true
But nothing is truer than all the love
I have for you
People say you're only worth what you own
They'll work you to the bone
Anyway, who cares what lies they sow?
The truth is they don't know
But let's keep that between you and me
Just like our pirate days at sea
Where I am the captain
And you are my crew
One day I'll leave
All this sailing to you
Now it's your story
And I'm passing through
And all of our stories are true
Yes, I am the captain
And you are my crew
One day I'll leave
All this sailing to you
Now it's your story
And I'm passing through
And all of our stories are true
But nothing is truer than all the love I have
Nothing is truer than all the love that I have
Nothing is truer than all the love I have
For
You
