1. _ Don't Hide Your Love
You never give yourself completely
It's just that you've been hurt before
You're so afraid to let me love you
You never leave an open door
Don't judge me by some other lover
Who broke your heart and walked away
Come let's be fair with one another
My world is yours i swear it
Say the word and we can share it
Chorus:
Don't hide your love
(don't hide your love)
Not if you care for me
(not if you care for me)
It isn't fair for me
To worry and wonder and wait
Don't hide your love
(don't hide your love)
Just love me here and now
(just love me here and now)
We'll work it out somehow
Don't you keep us apart
Baby unlock your heart
Don't hide your love
Well i now the past has bought you sorrow
The clouds still hang around today
But don't let the rain, fall on tomorrow
Baby we can make it together
'cause i'm gonna love you forever
Chorus

2. _ The First Time
Oh i heard a rooster crow
I think i better go
Never been out this late before
Please don't think i'm a bore
But will i see you anymore
Say have you got a comb that i can use
I'm sure i look like real bad news
Like i really been abused
Don't get me wrong when i ask before
If i'll see you anymore
I don't know if i should laugh or cry
Do you want to kiss me goodbye?
Or was i just another try
You're a funny kinda guy
Don't know what i'll say
When they ask me why
Oh i heard a rooster crow
I think i better go
Never been out this late before
I know when i walk outside your door
I won't see you anymore

3. _ Song For You
I've been so many places in my life and time
Sung a lot of songs i've made some bad rhyme
I got out my life in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now i'm singing this song
Singing this song for you
I know your image of me is what i hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but darling can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Darling can you please see through me
Cause we're alone now
And i'm singing this song for you
You taught me precious secrets of the truth
We're only nothing
You came out in front when i was hiding
But now i'm so much better
And if my words can come together
Listen to the melody
Cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for my life you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and i was singing this song for you
Singing this song, singing this song for you

4. _ Half-breed
My father married a pure cherokee
My mother's people were ashamed of me
The indians said i was white by law
The white man always called me "indian squaw"
Chorus:
Half-breed, that's all i ever heard
Half-breed, how i learned to hate the word
Half-breed, she's no good they warned
Both sides were against me since the day i was born
We never settled, went from town to town
When you're not welcome you don't hang around
The other children always laughed at me
"give her a feather, she's a cherokee"
Chorus
We weren't accepted and i felt ashamed
Nineteen i left them, tell me who's to blame
My life since then has been from man to man
But i can't run away from what i am

5. _ My Love
when i go away
I know my heart can stay with my love
It's understood
Everywhere with my love
My love does it good, whoa
My love, oh only my love

And when the cupboard's bare
I'll still find something there with my love
It's understood
Everywhere with my love
My love does it so good, whoa

My love does it good
Only my love, oh only my love
Only my love, hold the other things to me
Oh, only my love, oh only my love
Only my love does it good to me
Everywhere with my love
Don't you see my love
It does it so good
Oh, only my love, only my love

Don't ever ask me why
I never say "good-bye" to my love
It's understood
'cause everywhere with my love
My love does it good, whoa
Only my love, oh only my love
My love does it good
Oh only my love
Only my love does it good to me,whoa

6. _ If I Knew Then
the funny-face kid from down the street
Always very close at hand
He was just a cowboy, i was lady gran
But i don't think i would have shot him down
If i knew then what i know now
High school days and puppy love
Learning what it's all about
He was kinda akward, i was filling out
But i don't think that i would have played around
If i knew then what i know now
Too many years, too many chairs
Too many other things, too many men
Time and again i had to test my wings
No time for love, strings or wedding rings
A pretty young girl from baltimore
Got herself a real good man
Once he was a cowboy who wanted lady gran
And i know that i would have made that now
If i knew then what i know now
Once he was a cowboy who wanted lady gran
And i know that i would have made that vow
If i knew then what i know now

7. _ Carousel Man
I had a taste of bitter life
At sweet sixteen
I was growing up too fast
If you know what i mean
Met an older man
Who taught me his own way to live
And all i had to do to keep him
Was to give and give
Chorus:
The carousel man
Kept me going around and round
Carousel man always know
That i'd stay around
The carousel man
Wouldn't let me off his merry-go-round
I followed him around in traveling shows
Along the main county lines
Watching him drinking his mind away
Not ever knowing my name at time
Each night when the show closed down
He used to tell me of his dreams
He was wearing new french suits
While i mended my torn jeans
Chorus
Then one night in santa fe
The horses stop going around
There he was my poor rich man
Lying on the mexico ground
All the sad music of his life
Is still spinning in my mind
The carousel starts up again
And i found my place in life
Chorus x 2

8. _ Let Me Down Easy
If you're gonna let me down, let me down easy
So i won't be too hurt after you're gone
And if you're gonna let me down ah set me down easy
From that special cloud you put me on
Let me down easy, let me down slow
And if you're gonna leave me
Ah honey please me a memory to soften up the fall
And if you're gonna let me down ah let me down easy
Ah baby please don't let me down at all
Let me down easy let me down slow
And if you're gonna let me down ah set me down easy
Ah baby please don't let me down at all
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down

10. _ How Can You Mend A Broken Heart
I can think of younger days
When living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do?
I could never see tomorrow
But i was never told about the sorrow
And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart
And let me live again
I can still feel the breeze
That rustles through the trees
And misty memories do days gone by
We could never see tomorrow
No one said a word about the sorrow
And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart
And let me live again

11. _ Living In A House Divided
Look at us the picture of happiness
Not so long ago, ah not so very long ago
The pride of all our friends
The perfect couple were we
Is this how it will end?
Just a sad, sad story
Chorus:
Living in a house divided
With a love that's so one sided
There's no chance at all
The walls have got to fall
Living in a house divided
With a love that's so one sided
There's no chance at all
The walls have got to fall
Tumbling down
Look at us the king and queen of emptiness
Living inside our castle of loneliness
Unable to make amends
Such perfect strangers are we
Is this how it will end?
Just a sad story
Chorus x 3

The long and winding road that leads to your door will never disappear oh well
I've seen the road before and it always brings me here leads me to your door

13. _ It Might As Well Stay Monday
Here it is again monday morning
And i really got the blues
But it don't much matter
I got no need to smile
And i don't think i will for quit awhile
Chorus:
So it might as well stay monday from now on
Cause it seems that the only one i ever love is gone
And it just might as well stay monday from now on
Go away mister sun i can't use you
Brighten someone else's life
Let the darkest hide me and carry off my pain
For there's nothing you can do, nothing you can do,
Nothing you can do to make things change
Chorus
Let the darkest hide me and carry off my pain
For there's nothing you can do, nothing you can do,
Nothing you can do to make things change
And it might as well stay monday from now on
Might as well stay monday from now on

14. _ Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves
I was born in the wagon of a travelin' show
My mama used to dance for the money they'd throw
Papa would do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel
Sell a couple bottles of doctor good
Chorus:
Gypsies, tramps and thieves
We'd hear it from the people of the town
They'd call us gypsies, tramps and thieves
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money down
Picked up a boy just south of mobile
Gave him a ride, filled him with a hot meal
I was sixteen, he was twenty-one
Rode with us to memphis
And papa woulda shot him if he knew what he'd done
Chorus
I never had schoolin' but he taught me well
With his smooth southern style
Three months later, i'm a gal in trouble
And i haven't seen him for a while
I haven't seen him for a while
She was born in the wagon of a travelin' show
Her mama had to dance for the money they'd throw
Grandpa'd do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel
Sell a couple bottles of doctor good

15. _ This God Forsaken Day
Read your note this mornin'.
'bye-bye girl', that's all it said.
Glad i found it first,
Before the kids got out of bed.
Baked a tray of muffins.
Hung some wet-wash out to dry.
By the time the kids got up,
I could look them in the eye.
You've gone away, you've gone away.
How will i get though the day?
This god-forsaken day.
Drank some bitter coffee.
Read your note ten times or more.
When i'd washed the dishes twice,
I got down and scrubbed the floor.
Empty chair at supper.
Everybodys actin' strange.
Food just gettin' cold.
Kids real quiet for a change.
You've gone away, you've gone away.
How will i get through the day?
This god-forsaken day.
Rain was fallin' hard
As i walked slowly up the stairs.
Pushed my tears back down
As i stood listenin'
To their prayers.
There's your empty pillow.
Your side's flat right to the wall.
Now's the time for private cryin'.
Now it hurts me
Most of all.
You've gone away.
I turn off the light.
How will i get through the night?
This god-forsaken night.
This long and lonesome, god-forsaken night.
