Lyrics:
(Writer Joe Carson)
« © '59 Glad Music »
The door to my heart locked when you walk out on me
You sealed it with a time lock to be locked eternally
You thought it's locked forever and I could never love anew
But today must be forever cause the light is shining through
And now the time lock has opened up the door to my heart
The seal you thought was so secure has shattered all apart
My heart has struck the lock and kept this hurt lock before you
And now somebody else is broken the time lock falling through
When you sealed the time lock you locked my heart up tight
Inside the heart it's cold and dark without a sparkling light
Another's love was strong enough to break the seal in two
This new love I feel is true and real at last I'm free from you
And now the time lock has opened...
You are relentless, I am defenseless
Why did you knock me down tonight
You beat me senseless, I just don't get this
How many times do I have to try
Your whisper, so clear
The world disappears
As I fall into the darkness
It's impossible to express
How good it feels
I'm wrapped up, I'm sealed
So tight I'll never be free
I'm not gonna fight the feeling
Get back in my life
Come knock on my door
What I'm looking for, I think you should know
You started a fire, burned me to the floor
Please don't resist anymore
I'll never leave you alone
Oh yeah yeah yeah
You reprimand me, you're so demanding
But I've got time, I don't mind at all
You're picture perfect, completely worth it
You've got my back against the wall
Your whisper, so clear
The world disappears
As I fall into the darkness
Impossible to express
How good it feels
I'm wrapped up, I'm sealed
So tight I'll never be free yea
I'm not gonna fight the feeling
Get back in my life
Come knock on my door
What I'm looking for, I think you should know
You started a fire, burned me to the floor
Please don't resist anymore
I'll never leave you alone
Can you feel me coming
I'm screaming, searching, calling
Paranoid,
Cause I'm always coming back to you,
Coming back to you
And you know how much I missed it
And you know I can't resist it
See your lips and just come running
Right on back to you, right on back to you
Get back in my life, come knock on my door
What I'm looking for, I think you should know
You started a fire, burned me to the floor
I can't do this anymore
I'll never leave you alone
(Get back in my life)
Get back in my life
(come knock on my door)
Woo!
They say there's an underground river
That none of us can see
And it flows through winding tunnels
On its way to a tide-less sea
And across that sea is an island
A paradise we are told
Where the toils of life are forgotten
And they call it the Island of Souls
For only a soul can go there
A soul that's been set free
From the confines of a working life
To find eternity
Your old man had a cage for his pigeons
But that's really where he kept his soul
And when he watched them fly he would see himself
Least that's how it was told
But his soul was still trapped in the cage son
While the birds they soared to the sky
But he couldn't find his own way out
Least not 'til the day he died
Oh, a man builds a cage with the tools he is given
His casket is sealed with a riveter's gun
This solitary madness is where he is driven
It was him who was trapped in the soul cage son
It was him that was trapped in the soul cage
I know that he loved you, but he hadn't the words
He'd be easier speaking the language of birds
For to speak of emotion, it just wasn't done
It was him who was trapped in the soul cage son
It was him that was trapped in the soul cage
A man builds a cage with the tools he is given
His casket is sealed with a riveter's gun
The solitary madness is where he is driven
It was him who was trapped in the soul cage son
It was him that was trapped in the soul cage
If you want me, the cherry on top
The pick of the pack, the crème de la crop
If you want me, you better do better than that tonight (oh, oh)
If you want me, it takes more than a wink
More than a drink, more than you think
If you want me, you're gonna have to break the bank tonight (ooh)
'Cause some don't have the patience
Some call me high maintenance
But you pay the bill
'Cause that's the deal
If you wanna ride, just name your price
Don't play cheap with your heart
Don't make a bet if you can't write the check
For me, for me
'Cause I can be bought, but you'll pay the cost
If you can afford me
If you want me, I'm not a piece of ass
A one night stand, a storage shed
I think you better walk by tonight (oh, no)
If you want me, then stop begging
I don't put out for charity
If you want me, there's no discount price tonight (ooh)
But I don't need your dollar bills
I just want something real
'Cause nothing's free
Except loving me
If you wanna ride, just name your price
Don't play cheap with your heart
Don't make a bet if you can't write the check
For me, for me
'Cause I can be bought, but you'll pay the cost
If you can afford me
If you want me, the cherry on top
The pick of the pack, the crème de la crop
If you wanna ride, just name your price
Don't play cheap with your heart
Don't make a bet if you can't write the check
For me, for me
'Cause I can be bought, but you'll pay the cost
If you can afford me
If you wanna ride, just name your price
Don't play cheap with your heart
Don't make a bet if you can't write the check
For me, for me
'Cause I can be bought, but you'll pay the cost
If you can afford me
You took a pretty picture
And you smashed it into bits
Sank me into blackness
And you sealed it with a kiss
If only I could let you go
Why do I need you so
It's amazing what a boy can do
I cannot stop myself
Wish I didn't want you like I do
Want you and no one else
You took a poison arrow
And you aimed it at my heart
It's heavy and it's bitter
And it's tearing me apart
If only I could set you free
You worked your way inside of me
It's amazing what a boy can do
I cannot stop myself
Wish I didn't want you like I do
Want you and no one else
It's amazing what a boy can say
I cannot stop myself
Seems I love you more than yesterday
Love you and no one else
Oh, it's amazing
It's amazing what a boy can do
I cannot stop myself
Wish I didn't want you like I do
Want you and no one else
It's amazing what a boy can say
I cannot stop myself
Seems I love you more than yesterday
Love you and no one else
It's amazing
Oh, it's amazing
I cannot stop myself
Wish I didn't
Love you and no one else
In the middle of my life
When my fate was sealed and tied
The heavens rain down fire
The earth and moon conspire
To open up my eyes
Make me face my lies
I crawl through an abyss
I struggle and resist
Somehow I break free
Someone becomes me
And when I stand upright
I'm filled with a new light
I'm given one more chance
So I change partners
In this new dance
The moon stays on a course
No mortal will force
The courage to go deep
Is gathered while we sleep
I'm purified by fire
Renewed by my desire
Nothings left to chance
So I change partners
In this new dance
I change partners
In this new dance
I'll change partners
Crying on the words you wrote me this morning
Tears felt like rain as the
Pain kept on going and I say it was true
I still can't believe you
Left without warning
Told me in a text without even calling
I never knew how I was hurting you
That blue bilet deux signed and sealed by you
I just can't ignore
It's strictly too blue but my heart
May pursue you even more
I can't hold you back from
Wanting to run free
Everybody knows that love don't come easy
I owe you happiness too
If you change your mind you
Know I'll be waiting
Just give me a sign I'm anticipating
One small proof is all that I ask of you
That blue bilet deux signed and sealed by you
I just can't ignore
It's strictly too blue but my heart
May pursue you even more
That blue bilet deux signed and sealed by you
I just can't ignore
It's strictly too blue but my heart
May pursue you even more
I'll be waiting here for you when you need me
Gonna do my best but you know it ain't easy
I'm just a guy all I can do is try
When you're all alone and start reminiscing
Think of me at home and
How much I'm missing you if only you knew
That blue bilet deux signed and sealed by you
I just can't ignore
It's strictly too blue but my heart
May pursue you forever more
Sad but true it's so hard
To undo all the loneliness
Everyone must be responsible for
Their own happiness
Sad but true it's so hard
To undo all the loneliness
Everyone must be responsible for
Their own happiness
Sad but true it's so hard
To undo all the loneliness
Everyone must be responsible for
Their own happiness
Sad but true it's so hard
To undo all the loneliness
Everyone must be responsible for
Their own happiness
Every minute seems eternal but I'll stay true
What I'm going through over you, thinking of you
Then just a week you've been gone, miss you dearly
True love, they say is healing with you near me
What I'm going through over you
I can't wait to hold you, see morning in your eyes
Can't wait to love you in loveless paradise
So I send you love by name, sealed with a kiss
Love, let it be the blame
Love affair
Love affair
Girl, I love you
I love you
[Incomprehensible], play the part, we grew stronger
We will always win its lovely hunger
What I'm going through over you, thinking of you
I hope your trip was easy, trouble free
So hurry, hold my angel onto me
What I'm going through over you
I can't wait to hold you, see morning in your eyes
Can't wait to love you in loveless paradise
So I send my love by name, sealed with a kiss, baby
Love, let it be the blame
Love affair
Love affair
Girl, I love you
I love you
You and me, forever angel
You and me, love affair
You and me together forever
Love dreams
A good friend once told me you are memory
Without them we equal nothing
All I can see is the place I wanna be
Suddenly my life was so free
Leaves at my feet, blown to the ground
Their echoes are reaching my ears
Night it's coming fast, the sun's going down
But keep away from me
Keep away from me
Keep away from me
Keep away from me (Keep away from me)
Keep away from me
We may have created the beginning, mentally
We may have created the beginning, physically
To the end of our human (existence)
I see through you
The fear that's in your eyes
A good friend once told me we are memory
Without them we equal nothing
All I can see is the place I wanna be
Timeless my life was so free
Leaves at my feet, blown to the ground
Their echoes are reaching my ears
Night's coming fast, the sun's going down, confused
I don't know the answers but neither do you
With this ink in my skin we've sealed our fate,
And the axe comes early
(Only naturally) So what does that matter?
There's a bed of skeletons waiting for me,
On the other side
They're waiting for my next move (next fatal breath)
Human lives to me seem so unreal, can't see through the fog
(Nothing past a grey wall) see past the stereotype
Belief, structure built up in you
I'll tear you down and the one who created you
If they didn't have One how would they act?
Down on all fours
Cause we gonna, we gonna
We gonna, we gonna clockout
Take my advice
Hear my decree
I'm afraid the future's gonna be
Maintenance free
I got the big brush for your bowl
Baby, can't you dig my plea
Gonna gag
Unless we clockout
No, no, no
We crawled night and day through the tears and debries
Now I'm reaching out to you but I'm keeping my hands clean
The tables are turning the tempo slows down
And we're gettin' off this misery-go-round
It's a brand new world baby now things have changed
A brand new picture in a brand new frame
A turn of the page with a blink of your eye
Our two steps in rhythm our hearts beatin' time
On the inside it all happened on the inside it all went down on the inside
A critical moment I know you'd agree both of us separate but neither one free
We traded our papers for new walking shoes
But I had no idea how I'd feel without you
We watched it unravel we heard it unwind imprisoned by anger embittered by time
No one could tell me we'd be standing here today
Steeled by the fire and sealed by the pain
On the inside it all happened on the inside it all went down on the inside
I'm holding on to you and I know you're holding on to me too
We gave it one more chance and found the key to romance
Now none of it happens like we think it should be
Hey it'd all be disaster if left up to me
By the power of love and protection divine
We found we hold hands through the darkness and then there was light
On the inside, it all happened on the inside
It all went down on the inside
On the inside, it all happened on the inside
It all went down on the inside
Hard luck and trouble
Bound to be your claim to fame
Tail-shakin' heart-breakin' truckin' through town
Each and every country-mother's son, hangin' 'round
Drive a young man insane
Evil that's your name
Lucretia MacEvil
That's the thing you're doin' fine
Back seat Delilah
Got your six bit jug o'wine, woman
I hear your mother was the talk of the sticks
Nothin' that your daddy wouldn't do for kicks
Never done a thing worth-while
You're just an evil woman-child
Ooh, Lucy, you just so damn bad
Devil got you lucy
Under lock and key
Ain't about to set you free
Sign sealed and witnessed
Since the day you were born
No use tryin' to fake him out
No use tryin' to make him out
Soon, he'll be takin' out his due
What-cha gonna do?
Hard luck and trouble

These days I'm just not sure how to feel
Does he still make you run wild?
Silence, and your lips were sealed
As if you didn't care and your love was gone
Her love was lost
Calm before the storm
I don't care if you take me inside
You can't be what you want every time
And I know it's hard to find the mind to say you do
You're free
You're free, you're free, you're free
You're free enough to find your feet
You're also free enough to hide from me
And I seek
I seek, I seek, I seek
I seek for something I can't see
I may be reading in too deep
And maybe this is all a dream
By Bob Hartman
Based on 1 John 5:11
First He calls out
Into your darkness
He woos gently
And you have to choose
But the choice is easy
It's light and darkness
There's an invitation
You can not refuse
Revelation - when you see where you've been
Confirmation - you've been drawn again
(Chorus)
This is life as we know it
Forgiven and free
Life as we know it
More abundantly
Born of the Son, we can finally see
This is life as we know it
Undeniably
One day doubting
You're walking blindly
Through shadow's darkness
You don't feel a thing
You keep on walking
Though you sometimes stumble
Till you find assurance
Only faith can bring
Never perfect, but perfectly forgiven
Finding courage to get up again
(Chorus)
Bent, but not broken
Tempted, but not shaken
Kept in the shadow of His wing
Held by the power
Sealed with the promise
By the One who is over everything
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
Then up there spoke a bonny boy
Sitting at the King's right knee
"Sir Patrick Spens is the very best seaman
That ever sailed upon the sea"
The King has written a broad letter
And sealed it up with his own right hand
Sending word unto Sir Patrick to come to him at his command
"An enemy then this must be
Who told the lie concerning me
For I was never a very good seaman
Nor ever do intend to be"
"Last night I saw the new moon clear
With the old moon in her hair
And that is a sign since we were born
That means there'll be a deadly storm"
They had not sailed upon the deep a day
A day but barely free
When loud and boisterous blew the winds
And loud and noisy blew the sea
Then up there came a mermaiden
A comb and a glass all in her hand
"Here's to you, my merry young men, for you'll not see dry land again"
"Long may my lady stand
With a lantern in her hand
Before she sees my bonny ship
Come sailing homeward to dry land"
Forty miles off Aberdeen
The water's fifty fathoms deep
There lies good Sir Patrick Spens
With the Scots lords at his feet
Passing time has no surprise
When pleasure found is my resource
Should I lose my lover's eyes
Then secrecy will hide my course
Forgotten lies aim to distract me
This moon-mind must not connect
Pure nature will contain me
Free fall in air I will surpass
When I'm falling, calling, I return
Floating closer to your shore
I start to drift with the tide
Maybe I'll reach, I'll reach the beach
My heart is sealed watertight
Maybe I'll reach.
I sat down and wrote this letter
Telling you that I felt better
Since you'd gone and I was free
I'm so happy
I have so little time to spare now
I'm wanted almost everywhere now
I make out like Casanova
Friends are always coming over
Signed my name as if I meant it
Sealed it with a kiss and sent it
The letter had improved my mood
Happy in my solitude
But halfway home I changed my tune
And when I saw my lonely room
The mirror caught my eye
When I sit down I cry
Big lie small world
Big lie small world
I had to intercept that letter
Telling you that I was better
I raced to catch the postman's van
He was leaving as I ran
I miss the bus I miss the train
I end up walking in the rain
Big dog chased me down the street
I hadn't had a bite to eat
Feeling sorry for myself
Wishing I was someone else
I walked across the city
'Cause I couldn't stand your pity
Big lie small world
Big lie small world
The place you live looks opulent
And obviously a higher rent
Than our cozy little room
I had this sense of doom
The landlord says you're out of town
That your new boyfriend's always around
The hour was getting late
So I sit down and wait
Here's the postman with my letter
Coming down the path, he'd better
Give that thing to me
I have to make him see
Begging doesn't do the trick
He thinks that I'm a lunatic
And then who comes upon the scene
But your new boyfriend Mr.
I sat down and wrote this letter
Telling you that I felt better
Since you've gone and I was free
I'm so happy
I have so little time to spare now
I'm wanted almost everywhere now
I make out like Casanova
Friends are always coming over
I signed my name as if I meant it
And sealed it with a kiss and sent it
The letter headed through my mood
Happy in my solitude
But halfway home I changed my tune
And when I saw my lonely room
The mirror caught my eye
When I sat down, I cried
Big lie, small world
It was a big lie, small world
I had to intercept that letter
Telling you that I was better
I raced to catch the postman's van
He was leaving as I ran
I missed the bus, I missed the train
I end up walking in the rain
Big dog chased me down the street
Hadn't had a bite to eat
Feeling sorry for myself
And wishing I was someone else
I walked across the city
Because I couldn't stand your pity
Big lie, small world
It was a big lie, small world
The place you live looks opulent
And obviously a higher rent
Than a cozy little room
I had this sense of doom
Your landlord says you're out of town
But your new boyfriend's always around
The hour was getting late
So I sit down and wait
Here's the postman with my letter
Coming down the path he better
Give that thing to me
I have to make him see
Begging doesn't do the trick
He thinks that I'm a lunatic
But then who comes upon the scene
But your new boyfriend, Mr.
Its just emotion
I've never had
Emotion
Is makin' me sad
Emotion
Tying me down
It's just emotion
Keeps me hangin' around
It's the he, e, eeeat
Calling me, e, eee
It's the ne, e, e, eed
To be free
Yeah, yeah
I don't wanna play for keeps anymore
This time I'm for real
I've heard it once
I've heard it all before
And now are lips are sealed
Told you I'd never lie to you
You want something different
Something new, oooooh
I don't wanna play for keeps anymore
And there is nothing you can do
Disappointment
Is the final word
Devotion
Is back breaking work
Emotions
Are irrational
But to ignore them
Would be critical
It's the he, he, eeeat
Calling me, e, eee
It's the ne, e, eeed
To be free
Yeah, yeah
I don't wanna play for keeps anymore
This time I'm for real
I've heard it once
I've heard it all before
And now are lips are sealed
Told you I'd never lie to you
You want something different
Something new, ooooooh
I don't wanna play for keeps anymore
And there is nothing you can do
Give me something I, I, I, I, I
Can depend on I, I, I
Give me something I, I, I, I, I
Can rely on
Yeah
I don't wanna play for keeps anymore
This time I'm for real
I've heard it once
I've heard it all before
And now are lips are sealed
I don't wanna play for keeps
I don't wanna play for keeps
I don't wanna play for keeps any more
And there is nothing you can do
Do
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh

Forty miles off Aberdeen
The water's fifty fathoms deep
There lies good Sir Patrick Spens
With the Scots lords at his feet
The God of ages stepped down from glory
To wear my sin oh and bear my shame
The cross has spoken, I am forgiven
The King of kings calls me His own
Beautiful Savior, oh I'm Yours forever
Oh Jesus Christ, my living hope
Hallelujah, praise the One who set me free
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain
There's salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ, my living hope
Then came the morning that sealed the promise
Your buried body began to breathe
And out of the silence, the Roaring Lion
Declared the grave has no claim on me
Then came the morning that sealed the promise
Your buried body began to breathe
And out of the silence, the Roaring Lion
Declared the grave has no claim on me
Jesus is, is the victory, oh-oh, oh
Hallelujah, praise the One who set me free
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain
There's salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ, my living hope
Hallelujah, praise the One who set me free
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain
There's salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ, my living hope
Jesus Christ, my living hope
There is a city,
Came out from you, Atlantis
In ruins, sunken below the waves
But in the city,
Where there is no one.
What's the point of being free, eh?
When there is nothing there to tie me down,
Oh, no more here.
The bluest city,
Covered in coral and coral,
On sea chests,
And sealed Jamaician tales.
