Pieces Of The Sky

(john lennon/paul mccartney)

The day breaks your mind aches
You find that all her words of kindness linger on
She no longer needs you
She wakes up she makes up
She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry
She no longer needs you

And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one

A love that should have lasted years
You want her you need her
And yet you don't believe her when she said her love is dead
You think she needs you
She goes out you stay home
She says that long ago she knew someone but now he's gone
She doesn't need him

And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one

A love that should have lasted years
Your day breaks your mind aches
There will be time when all the things she said
Will fill your head
You won't forget her

(shel silverstein)

She arrives in all her splendor
Each night at nine o'clock
Her chariot is the crosstown bus
That stops right down the block
Now the old piano minstrel plays her tune as she walks in
And the queen of the silver dollar's home again

She's the queen of the silver dollar
She rules this smokey kingdom
Scepter is a wine glass and a bar stool is her throne
Now the jesters flock around her tryin

(billy sherill)

I know that somewhere there's someone you love more than me
Someone you love more than me
And i hate to say it, but you have a right to be free
I know that's the way it should be

But i'm too far gone
Too far gone
I've loved you so much for so long
And i'm too far gone

If ever your new love should hurt you or make you feel blue
Hurt you or make you feel blue
Just remember your old love will still be around loving you
I'll be around loving you

'cause i'm too far gone
Too far gone
I love you so much for so long
And i'm too far gone

Back through the years i go wondering once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
And how my mamma put these rags to use

There were rags of many colours, and every piece was small
And i didn't have a coat and it was way down in the fall
Mamma sewed the rags together, sewing ever piece with love
She made my coat of many colours, that i was so proud of

As she sewed she told the story from the bible she had read
About a coat of many colours, joseph wore and they she said
Perhaps this coat will bring you, much love and happiness
And i just couldn't wait to wear it, and mamma blessed it with a kiss

My coat of many colours that mamma made for me
Made only rags, but i wore it so proudly
Although we had no money. oh i was rich as i could be
In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me

So with patches on my breaches and holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many colours, i hurried off to school
Just to find the others laughing and makin' fun of me
In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me

Oh, i couldn't understand it, for i felt i was rich
And i told them of the love my mamma sewed in ever stitch
And i told them all the story, mamma told me while she sewed
And how my coat of many colours is worth more than all of their clothes

They didn't under stand it and i tried to make them see
That one is only poor only if they choose to be
Now i know we have no money, but i'm as rich as i could be
In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me
In my coat of many colours, my mamma just made for me

(merle haggard)

Each night i leave the barroom when it's over
Not feeling any pain at closing time
But tonight you memory found me much to sober
Couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind

Tonight the bottle let down
And let you memory come around
The one true friend i thought i'd found
Tonight the bottle let down

I've always had a bottle i could turn to
And lately i've been turning everyday
But the wind don't take effect the way it used to
And i'm hurting in an old familiar way

Tonight the bottle let down
And let you memory come around
The one true friend i thought i'd found
Tonight the bottle let down
