Let Me Be There

(fiett/fletcher)

Nothing is moving, all the world is still
No birds are singing and they never will
Cause you're leaving
No doors are open, the sun doesn't smile
There's no sign of laughter, it rains all the while
And i'm grieving
Cause you're leavin', leavin'

Food doesn't tempt me
No coffee or cakes, everything's empty
My heart's full of aches, nothing can please me
Why are you leaving?

Oh, no silver linings, no fluffy white clouds
I keep on walking, i'm lost in a crowd
Cause you're leaving
Nothing gives me pleasure, nothing gives me pain
I'm all over numb and i can't explain
Now you're leaving
Cause you're leavin', leavin'

So you put me down, you go your way around
I'm glad you're doing fine, i'll make out in time
Don't you worry, now you're leaving

(groszmann/jones)

I have got pins and needles, boy
From sleeping on your floor
It's been so long i can't remember
What it was i came here for
Oh lord, when you're winning
Ain't it ever easy to pretend
But it's hard, so hard
Being on the losing end

I saw your golden eagle
Flying high above my day
Casting never ending shadows
Putting darkness cross my day

Oh lord, can't you remember
You said you'd always be my friend
And it's hard, so hard
Being on the losing end

Gotta help me lord
I'm on the dark side of dawn
Gotta find that road
I need your sweet love, lord
I need your sweet love

Oh lord, when you're winning
Ain't it easy to pretend
But it's hard, so hard
Yes it's hard, so hard
Being on the losing end

It took a long time
But now i'm gonna be laughing
A very long time
When all i could feel was sad
A very long time
But now it's gonna be worth it
Cause i just found a friend to make me glad

I'm feeling food, feeling better
I'm feeling best
I feel a cut above the rest
I'm gonna put it to the test
Feeling good, feeling better
Feeling best
Feeling good, feeling better
I'm feeling best

I hope it doesn't sound like i'm blowing my own trumpet
Cause all i wanna do is join up with the band
When you feel good
You gotta come right out and say it
I've been so long at sea and i've just seen land

I'm feeling food, feeling better
I'm feeling best
I feel a cut above the rest
I'm gonna put it to the test
Feeling good, feeling better
Feeling best
Feeling good, feeling better
I'm feeling best

Trying to win your confidence just wears me down
Trying to win your love will wear me out
You've been loved by many girls but left by only one
It made you doubt; it made you doubt
There are those of us who try to use a boy
There is nothing further from my mind
As you will find

Brotherly love won't do no harm
A brotherly kiss on the cheek will only bring me comfort
Brotherly love ain't all i need
So if you love me in awhile
Put away your brotherly smile

Put a little trust in me and give again
You can let your reservations go
Put a little fire in the way you say hello
And i will know; yes i will know
Have a drink and make a resolution
Resolve to put yourself into my hands
Into my hands

Brotherly love won't do no harm
A brotherly kiss on the cheek will only bring me comfort
Brotherly love ain't all i need
So if you love me in awhile
Put away your brotherly smile

Brotherly love won't do no harm
A brotherly kiss on the cheek will only bring me comfort
Brotherly love ain't all i need
So if you love me in awhile
Put away your brotherly smile

And there's no need to tell me i'm just wasting time
But if you tell me break it slowly
I'm in deep water and i'm hanging on a line
And you're the only one can save me
But if you gotta go
I think you better know

Oh, heartbreaker, if you wanna leave
I won't make you stay
If you wanna go, better go away
Oh, you loser, offered you a love
You refused her
What you gonna do when she goes away

I know the memories melt their pictures in my mind
Too bad to see they could be fading
But i'll come home to you
If someday you should find
You want me back then i'll be waiting
But if you gotta go
I think you better know

Oh, heartbreaker, if you wanna leave
I won't make you stay
If you wanna go, better go away
Oh, you loser, offered you a love
You refused her
What you gonna do when she goes away

Um, heartbreaker, if you wanna leave
I won't make you stay
If you wanna go, better go away
Oh, you loser, offered you a love
And you refused her
What you gonna do when she goes away
Oh, what you gonna do when she goes away

You ain't got the right to tell me i'm not lonely
You don't understand what i've been through
He had every right to do the wrong that he done to me
But that don't make it easier to lose
No that don't make it easier to lose

I woke up monday morning
With the feeling he was gone
And i turned to face an empty place and i realized
That i didn't smell no coffee and all his pretty clothes were gone
I cried the first of the many tears you'll see me crying from now on

And you ain't got the right to tell me i'm not lonely
You don't understand what i've been through
He had every right to do the wrong that he done to me
But that don't make it easier to lose
No that don't make it easier to lose

I know his list of lovers was just as long as mine
But the sometime friend of a natural woman is to settle down
But the one time ways of that man
Have done busted up my mind
Now he's out the door, he's got one more
On his list than i got on mine

And you ain't got the right to tell me i'm not lonely
You don't understand what i've been through
He had every right to do the wrong that he done to me
But that don't make it easier to lose
No that don't make it easier to lose

Well, it's gonna be a long time before i pass this way again
I been dragged through school and i've learned the rules
And it seems to me
That a man'll love to fool ya
And he won't always fool you nice
Yes he had his turn, i guess i've learned
And no he ain't gonna fool me twice

And you still ain't got the right to tell me i'm not lonely
You don't understand what i've been through
He had every right to do the wrong that he done to me
But that don't make it easier to lose
No that don't make it easier to lose
