Im the water, you're the  cup   Take a chance fill you up  You my cake, Im the plate Goodness sake I cant wait 
 You’re the coffee, i'm the heat  Mix it up take it sweet  You're the river Im the frog  You're the moss Im the log  I gotta get to ya gotta to get you baby I don't know how much more I can take  I gotta get to ya gotta to get you baby I don't know how much more I can take  You're the dream, Im the sleep You're the broom, Im the sweep  You're the fruit, Im the juice You're the wild , Im the loose
 You're the cat, Im the dog  You're the dusk, Im the dawn You're the book, Im the test You're the take , Im the get I gotta get to ya gotta to get you baby I don't know how much more I can take  I gotta get to ya gotta to get you baby I don't know how much more I can take

You don't gotta get bad to get good You don't gotta get high to get low I know you were born with a sensitive bone And I know I was born a rolling stone  But that don’t mean you gotta go
 You don't gotta go up to come down You don’t gotta forget just to know  I know you were born with a thinking mind and I know I was born with nothing to find  But that don’t mean you gotta go  You don’t gotta get wrong to get right You don’t gotta go fast to go slow I know you were born into hard times  And I know I was born to confusing signs  But that don’t mean you gotta go

Locked Down 03:47
I don't wanna be locked in locked down I don't wanna be trapped in, tapped out I'm tired of gettin stir crazy, I don't know what to do I'm staring at my walls just thinking of you 
 There's a place today where you gotta pay to stay While thinking of the mountainside and the rolling highways You can get down low or be the highest around  But that won’t cure the blues from being locked down 
 I don't wanna be dull body, dull brained I don't wanna be turning insane  I'm getting tired of bouncing from wall to wall Trying to forget it or makes sense of it all   In time I can see you may just catch a break But best you catch it before its too late been the same ole game since we've been around  But that don't give no comfort when you're locked down

Sense 03:36
I woke up this morning, like any other A ray of light peered through my blinds I couldn’t tell whether It was me or you that was blind So I stood up from my bed Just to get morning going I looked out into the road Where I had once seen you gone You weren’t there I couldn’t see A trace of your existence Maybe in time I’ll try to find some kind of sense See I had stood there waiting for my baby Just waiting on her train Now by the tracks I spent a long while pacing Thinking I shouldn’t be doing this again I heard the train a-whistling All down the line Some sort of distressing sound to my woeful mind I waited for the passengers to come out and live their lives I looked wide I honed in and came to realize My days grew long and I grew weak From waiting all that time The train turned on the coal burnt strong As I questioned why I wanted your tortured love But still left up to chance Maybe in time I’ll try to find Some kind of sense

I’ve been standing still, thinking and waiting But you don’t care only cause you don’t know My mind is weak from all this isolation And my hands are sore from casting all these stones      I see your spirit dancing in the shadows I feel the love i was too proud to have   I reckon your now with someone you can care for Someone that ain't got a shred of who I am   Ain't it funny baby? don’t it make you laugh?   It rains all the time even when it doesn't Nothing i say seems to sound like the truth I'm stranded in a valley of cruel and unfair faces With creatures that look nothing like you   But who cares anyway for things that have passed It ain't like its ever coming back Oh whenever you have a fleeting thought of me Imagine I’m sleeping on a train on a long track   Ain't it funny baby? don’t it make you laugh?   I know It’ll be a long long time Before I meet anyone like you You’ve left the taste of expectation in my mouth And now whatever I taste seems to taste like glue   But time tends to make one forget All the qualities you had amassed And I know that even though we were lovers once Those memories are just things we outlast   Ain't it funny baby? don’t it make you laugh?

Corona, Lemme see my baby Corona, Lemme see my baby Its been so long since I seen her And I don't know how long she can wait
 Corona, Lemme see my baby Corona, Lemme see my baby Its been a long time since I had a kiss And I just want her to know she's the one I miss  Corona, Lemme see my baby Corona, Lemme see my baby ohh i wanna see her

Don’t say a word It would just spoil the moment  Let the magic speak for itself  Don’t say a word  'cause anyway time will try and ruin it   As it likes to do to everything
 Don’t say a thing my lovely Don’t even say you love me For now just come on close and close your eyes
 And breathe slow my lovely Reach out for my hands And bring your lips close to mine Don’t say a word We don’t have the luxury of wasting a moment  On such silly things
 Don’t say a word  Don't try and explain the feeling We can't do it justice anyway  Don’t say a thing my lovely Don’t even say you love me For now just come on close and close your eyes
 And breathe slow my lovely Reach out for my hands And bring those lips close to mine Don't say a word

Brisk 04:18
When the mood strikes When the match lights With the moon rises When the sun lights   When the days long When the winds strong When the airs brisk When the feelings mix I think of you 
 When the times ripe When the stomachs tight When the legs are numb When you need some When the feeling burns When the world turns When the lights shine When the stars align  I think of you

Sweet Thing 02:34
Sweet thing I wake up with you on my mind I cant tell what it is I'm feeling inside I'm tingly in my toes, you know the way it goes Im hazy in my head thinking of all the things you said 
 Sweet thing i get a little crazy when I hear you on the line I cant tell if its fever or just desire  Im weak in the knees, you know just how that feels Im light in my soul, I don't feel blue no more
 Sweet Thing But you ain't here and I ain't there Gotta find a way to be alright But its so hard when you're faced With such a lovely sight You got something I cant explain I know i want you sweet thing

Ya 03:33
I wanna squeeze ya I wanna hold ya I wanna need ya I want the whole ya I wanna see ya  I wanna ache ya I wanna feel ya I wanna take ya I wanna show ya I wanna shake ya I wanna know ya I wanna grow ya I wanna sleep ya I wanna weep ya I wanna live ya  I wanna forgive ya I wanna anger ya I wanna linger ya I wanna give ya everything

I get a lonely feeling, when I decide I’m leaving Everything behind, but I find I still have you by my side So I get down, I get down, I get blue Tell me baby don’t you get down too? When I’m trying to breath Catching my breath don’t come with ease I go looking for somebody to talk to But I find nobody wants to So I get down, I get down, I get blue Tell me baby don’t you get down too? If its on my mind babe then its on my tongue Ive been right so many times I’m bound to be wrong If thats the case then I guess I ain’t that strong We’re looking for something thats long gone So I get down, I get down, I get blue Tell me baby don’t you get down too? It ain’t you its me I hear them say It ain’t easy to live or love this way I know we’d both love to be cheek to cheek Being together is starting to make us weak So I get down, I get down, I get blue Tell me baby don’t you get down too?
