Isle of Hope: Lyrics

TWO HORSES

(JEFFERSON ROSS)

(CHORUS)

TWO HORSES PULL MY CARRIAGE, ONE IS BLACK AND ONE IS WHITE
ONE RACES ON TO BABYLON AND ONE PULLS TO THE RIGHT
I WANT TO LEAVE BEHIND THE DARKNESS AND SOAR INTO THE LIGHT
BUT TWO HORSES PULL MY CARRIAGE, ONE IS BLACK AND ONE IS WHITE

I SAW HIM THERE SITTING ON THE STAIRS, THAT SAD OLD WHISKEY PRIEST
WITH A BIBLE IN HIS HAND AND BOTTLE AT HIS FEET
HE HUNG HIS HEAD JUST LIKE HE WORE A HALO MADE OF STONE
AND SAID, BROTHER, I’M JUST TRYING TO MAKE IT HOME…BUT…

(REPEAT CHORUS)

WELL, I GRABBED HIM BY THE ELBOW AND I TRIED TO HELP HIM STAND
AND HE LOOKED OFF IN THE DISTANCE, MAYBE TO THE PROMISED LAND
I ASKED IF I COULD HELP HIM AND HE MUMBLED SOMETHING LOW
AND SAID, THANK YOU, SIR, I KNOW WHICH WAY TO GO…BUT….

(REPEAT CHORUS THEN TAG WITH LAST TWO LINES OF CHORUS)

TAKE THE PICTURE 

(LITTLE, HALL, ROSS)

MOVE IN CLOSER, PUT YOUR ARM AROUND YOUR MOTHER
FIX YOUR TIE, STOP FIGHTING WITH YOUR BROTHER
LET’S ALL BE STILL A MINUTE AND PULL IN TOWARDS EACH OTHER
BEFORE YOU KNOW IT WE’LL BE DONE

STRAIGHTEN UP, STAND RIGHT NEXT TO YOUR SISTER
OH, FOR HEAVEN’S SAKE, IT’S NOT LIKE YOU’VE GOT TO KISS HER
YOU DON’T KNOW IT NOW BUT SOMEDAY YOU’RE GOING TO MISS HER
I’D LIKE TO GET THIS OVER WHILE WE’RE YOUNG…LET’S…

(CHORUS)

TAKE THE PICTURE BEFORE THE MOMENT’S GONE
TAKE THE PICTURE WHILE THE SMILES ARE ON
WE’LL NEVER GET THIS BACK AGAIN, IN A FLASH IT’S OVER AND
IT’S PERMANENT AS SOLID STONE AND SCRIPTURE
TAKE THE PICTURE

LOOK AT DADDY, YOUNGER THAN I AM
LOOK AT MAMA, JUST A PRETTY GIRL BACK THEN
I WONDER IN THAT MOMENT IF THEY KNEW HOW IT WOULD END
IF THEY WHAT THEY WERE DOING WHEN THEY SAID…LET’S…

(REPEAT CHORUS, SOLO, REPEAT CHORUS THEN TAG)

FAMILY DRAMA

(JEFFERSON ROSS)

AUNT ERMA QUIT THE CHOIR LAST WEEK, WE DON’T KNOW WHERE SHE’S GONE
HER HUSBAND, WHO’S A TENOR, GOT CAUGHT WITH A BARITONE
NOW ALL OF MY CURIOUS COUSINS WANT TO GRAB ME ON THE PHONE
I THINK I’LL TAKE A BOAT TO ICELAND

(CHORUS)

FAMILY DRAMA IS A TRAGEDY
THEY KEEP CALLING AND SQUALLING AND LAYING THEIR TRIP ON ME
LORDY MAMA, WHY DO THEY LET ME BE?
THAT’S WHY THEY CALL IT FAMILY DRAMA NOT FAMILY COMEDY

MY DADDY SWEARS HIS CARDIAC PROGNOSIS IS QUITE GRIM
MY MOM COMPLAINS OF CATARACTS, HER WORLD VIEW IS QUITE DIM
BUT THEY ARE HYPOCHONDRIACS WHO SEND ME ‘ROUND THE BEND
ICELAND IS TOO CLOSE, WHO ‘BOUT UGANDA?

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(BRIDGE)

MY SISTER’S WEDDING RING IS MISSING, NOW HER SON GOT CAUGHT SHOPLIFTING
SOMEONE SAW HER DAUGHTER KISSING HER TEACHER LAST WEEK
AND, THERE’S UNCLE JIM AND UNCLE TIM WHO WERE SADLY BORN SIAMESE TWINS
NOW JIM JUST VOTED REPUBLICAN…NOW THEY DON’T SPEAK

THE IRS IS ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT MY COUSIN PAM
SEEMS SHE’S DIVERTED MILLIONS FROM OUR DEAR OLD UNCLE SAM
I USED TO BE THE BLACK SHEEP BUT NOW SHE’S ON THE LAMB
I THINK I’LL STICK AROUND AND WATCH THIS

(REPEAT CHORUS THEN TAG)

BLIND WILLIE GOES HOME

(JEFFERSON ROSS)

BLIND WILLIE MCTELL SAT IN THE ASYLUM IN MILLEDGEVILLE
‘CAUSE HIS FAMILY COULD NOT PAY HIS DOCTOR BILLS
SO THAT WAS THE LAST STOP ON THE LINE
HE SAT ON THE BED, THEY COULD NOT MAKE OUT MOST OF WHAT HE SAID
BUT THOUGHT HE WAS TALKING TO FRIENDS LONG DEAD
AND SMILING AT THE WOMEN SO FINE

(CHORUS)
WHEN HE WALKED THE STREETS OF ATLANTA
AND HE PLAYED THE 12 STRING WITH A SPORTING RIGHT HAND
AND HE CAUGHT THE STREETCAR EACH DAY
AND FOUND HIS OWN WAY LIKE ANY OTHER MAN, ANY OTHER MAN

(SOLO)

HE DROWNS OUT THE SCREAMS THAT ECHO DOWN HALLWAYS OF HELLISH DREAMS
AND WHISPERS HIS LAST BREATH IN THE KEY OF D
MAMA, TURN YOUR LAMP DOWN LOW
THEN THE TUNNEL DOES SHINE AS HE AND CURLEY WEAVER PLAY AN OLD RAGTIME
AND HEAVEN STARTS RAINING DOWN SHINY DIMES
HE PACKS UP HIS GUITAR AND GOES

AND HE WALKS THE STREETS OF ATLANTA
AND HE’LL PLAY THE 12 STRING WITH A SPORTING RIGHT HAND
AND HE’LL CATCH THE STREET CAR EACH DAY
AND FIND HIS OWN WAY LIKE ANY OTHER MAN

(REPEAT CHORUS)

WAKE UP, MAMA, TURN YOUR LAMP DOWN LOW
TURN YOUR LAMP DOWN LOW
TURN YOUR LAMP DOWN LOW

HERE COMES THE WIND

(JOHN HADLEY, JEFFERSON ROSS)

EVERYTHING WAS FINE WHEN YOU DIDN’T HAVE A DIME IF YOU HAD YOURSELF A FIELD OF WHEAT
AMBER WAVES, IT WAS THE BEST OF DAYS, PRICE GOING UP ON THE STREET
SO YOU HAMMER AND YOU HOE, PLANT AND YOU SOW EVERY LOVING WORKING DAY LONG
LIVE YOUR LIFE FOR YOUR KIDS AND WIFE AND NOTHING IN THE WORLD COULD GO WRONG

(CHORUS)

WELL, HERE COMES THE WIND, BLOWING IN FROM THE WEST
IT TOOK THE BACK FORTY YESTERDAY, IT’S COMING BACK FOR THE REST
DUST ON THE WATER WHERE THE RIVER HAD BEEN
THERE GOES THE FARM, HERE COMES THE WIND

WELL, IT BLEW AND IT BLEW ‘TIL THE NEXT THING YOU KNEW YOU COULDN’T SEE YOUR HAND IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE,
THE CHICKENS AND THE HOGS, KIDS AND THE DOGS WERE RUNNING ALL OVER THE PLACE
MY, OH MY, HOW THE DIRT DID FLY LIKE A DEVIL RISING UP FROM THE PLAINS
I’M DOWN ON MY KNEES, CRYING PLEASE LORD PLEASE, LET IT STOP AND SEND A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN.

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(BRIDGE)

GROWLING LIKE AN OLD HELL HOUND, PICKING EVERYTHING UP OFF THE GROUND
CHEWED IT UP AND TOSSED IT AROUND, CARRIED IT ALL AWAY

(REPEAT CHORUS)

CLUES

(JEFFERSON ROSS)

I USED TO THE THAT REAL LIFE COULD BE SUMMED UP IN A SOUNDBITE
AND BIG ANSWERS WERE JUST PLAIN AND SIMPLE TRUTHS
BUT I’VE SPENT SOME TIME AND THOUGHT SOME
AND FROM NOW ON, MY DEAR WATSON
I’M JUST LOOKING FOR CLUES

I’M NOT BANGING ON A PULPIT, I’M NOT TRYING TO BLAME A CULPRIT
I JUST WANT TO SCRAPE THE JUDGEMENT OFF MY SHOES
GOT NO SERMON ON MY SOAPBOX
NO VERDICT IN MY VOICE BOX
I’M JUST LOOKING FOR CLUES

(CHORUS)

I LIVE IN THE SHADOWS, LIVE IN THE LIGHT
WE ARE ALL A BIG BLUE BALL HAULING THROUGH THE NIGHT

I’M NOT BURNING THROUGH THE PAST WITH MY MAGNIFYING GLASS
TO FIND THE FINAL KILLER OF THE BLUES
I’M JUST TRIPPING THROUGH THE DANCES AND FLIPPING THROUGH THE ANSWERS
WHILE I’M LOOKING FOR CLUES

(REPEAT CHORUS)

DON’T TELL ME WHERE TO LOOK ON THE LAST PAGE OF THE BOOK
YOU’LL SPOIL THE PLOT, JUST LET IT COME AS NEWS
DEATH WANTS TO WRITE THE ENDING AND I AM JUST BEGINNING
LIFE IS LOOKING FOR CLUES
LITTLE MICROSCOPIC CLUES
PLAIN OLD EVERYDAY CLUES

HIGH TIMES IN THE LOW COUNTRY

(JEFFERSON ROSS)

THE SUMMER WINE AND WHISKEY FLOWS ALL THE WAY FROM KIAWAH AND EDISTO
THEY’RE GONNA HELP ME NOW TO TAKE MY MIND OFF SOMETHING
HIGH TIMES IN THE LOW COUNTRY

YOU DRIVE AWAY AND DON’T LOOK BACK AND YOU FLOW THROUGH LIFE JUST LIKE A CADILLAC
YOU’LL NEVER HURT ME NOW, TONIGHT I’M FEELING NOTHING
HIGH TIMES IN THE LOW COUNTRY

(CHORUS)

AND YOUR MEMORY CAN’T TOUCH ME DOWN HERE ON THE MARSH
AND LAUGHING FACES HELP ERASE WHAT I SEE IN THE DARK
AND BOURBON IS A PIRATE WITH A SABER THROUGH MY HEART
HIS REBELS COLORS FLYING IN THE WIND

(SOLO THEN REPEAT CHORUS THEN VERSE ONE AND TAG WITH TITLE)

THE BRANCH AND THE VINE

(HULL, JUTZ, ROSS)

JESUS TOLD HIS DISCIPLES THAT HIS TIME WAS DRAWING NEAR
AND HIS JOURNEY HERE BELOW WAS NEARLY THROUGH
HE SAID I’VE HEALED THE SICK AND RAISED THE DEAD AND WALKED ON WATER
BUT GREATER WORKS THAN THESE SHALL YOU DO

(CHORUS)

HE DID NOT THINK IT ROBBERY TO CLAIM THAT HE AND THE FATHER WERE ENTWINED
HE CALLED MY NAME AND SAID TO ME
YOU ARE THE BRANCH, I AM THE VINE

THERE’S NOT A MIRACLE TOO BIG NOR A MIRACLE TOO SMALL
LOVE IS THE SOIL AND FAITH IS THE SEED
PLANT YOUR FIELDS WISELY AND REMAIN IN CONSTANT PRAYER
THE PATH TO GLORY’S DOWN ON YOUR KNEES

(REPEAT CHORUS)

ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS, DO WHAT YOU’RE CALLED TO DO
LET’S SPREAD THE NEWS OF HIS AMAZING GRACE
FOR THE TIME IS DRAWING NEAR WHEN THE SON WILL APPEAR
AND HIS VICTORY SHALL BE SEEN ON EVERY FACE

(REPEAT CHORUS)

ISLE OF HOPE

(JEFFERSON ROSS)

WELL, THE PLANS WE MADE ALL WENT SOUTH, YOU CASHED IN WHEN YOU CHECKED OUT
YOU COULDN’T EVEN SAY GOODBYE
NOW, I TAKE MY CHILD TO YOUR TEAR STAINED TOMB, YOUR GARDEN OF STONE,
YOUR RED CLAY WOMB
AND I THINK ABOUT YOUR LIFE
AND I’M SORRY ‘CAUSE YOU WOULD HAVE LOVED MY GIRLS
AND ALL THAT YOU MISSED OUT ON IN THIS WORLD

(CHORUS)

BUT, CAN YOU SEE ME NOW, ANKLE DEEP
WITH A FISHING ROD IN A TIDAL CREEK
AND A COOLER OF ICE COLD BEER
AND THE SKY BURNS RED UP AGAINST THE BOATS
IT’S LIKE THE PROMISED LAND FILMED IN CINEMASCOPE
HEY, CAN YOU BELIEVE I MADE IT HERE
TO THE ISLE OF HOPE?

I CAN BAIT MY HOOK, I CAN CHANGE MY NAME
I CAN CAST MY LINE, CHANGE MY GAME AND BE ANYTHING I WANT
AND LIFE IS SO IRONIC, MAN, IT’S TRUE.
THEY ALL THOUGHT IT WOULD BE ME INSTEAD OF YOU

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(BRIDGE)

IF YOU’RE OUT THERE IN THE LIGHT
JUST KNOW THAT I’M GOING TO BE ALRIGHT

(REPEAT CHORUS AND TAG)

DADDY LOVES TO ROCK

(JEFFERSON ROSS)

DADDY STILL PLAYS THE BASS GUITAR AND THE STEAK AND ALE NEAR THE SALAD BAR
WITH HIS BEST FRIEND, KIRBY, ON THE LUDWIG KIT
AND, DAN, WHO OWNS THE VAN AND THE P.A. SET
STILL TRYING TO MAKE IT AT FORTY THREE
DADDY WANTS TO LIVE THE DREAM….MEANWHILE…

MAMA WORKS LIKE A SLAVE ALL DAY FOR MR. KAWASAKI, HE’S A C.P.A.
SELLS TUPPERWARE TO BEAT THE BAND, HURRIES HOME TO RATTLE THEM POTS AND PANS
NONE OF US CAN BLAME HER WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN
AND MAMA NEEDS SOME MELLOWING OUT

(CHORUS)

BREATHE IN, BREATHE OUT, MAMA
YOU’VE DONE ALL YOU CAN
MEDICATE THE DRAMA
OF YEARS OF BUSTING BOOTY JUST TRYING TO SUPPORT THAT MAN
IT TAKES A LOT OF PATIENCE JUST TO PUT UP WITH DADDY
DADDY LOVES TO ROCK, MAMA LOVES TO ROLL A FATTY

(SOLO)

MAMA’S GOT THE BANKER ON THE PHONE
DADDY’S ON THE COUCH READING ROLLING STONE
SHE HANGS UP, TAKES HER PURSE AND SPLITS
TO THE SHED OUT BACK FOR A LITTLE LIFT
MAMA ALWAYS HAS A BETTER ATTITUDE
AT A HIGHER ALTITUDE

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(TAG)

77 LIME GREEN CADILLAC HEARSE

(JEFFERSON ROSS)

BENEATH THE CANOPY OF OGEECHIE SWAMP
SHE’S READING PALMS AND SETTING UP SHOP
SHE THROWS THE BONES AND MOANS THE ANCIENT VERSE
BEHIND A 77 LIME GREEN CADILLAC HEARSE

SHE SAYS, TELL ME CHILD, WHATCHU COME HERE FOR?
YOU LOOKIN’ FOR LOVE OR TO SETTLE A SCORE?
YEAH, I CAN DO THAT AND A HELL OF A WHOLE LOT WORSE
BEHIND A 77 LIME GREEN CADILLAC HEARSE

(CHORUS)

SHE CALLS ON DR. BUZZARD AS SHE GRINDS THE MOJO ROOT
GRABS A BANTY ROOSTER AND A DAGGER FROM HER BOOT
MIXES UP A COCKTAIL TO SUMMON UP THE DEAD
AND IT’S ALL CASH ON THE BARRELHEAD

(SOLO RIFF)

SHE SAYS, ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS NO TIME
NO EARTH, NO STARS AND JUST ONE MIND
HERE, YOU DRINK THIS AND YOU’LL FIND OUT HOW IT WORKS
BEHIND A 77 LIME GREEN CADILLAC HEARSE

(BRIDGE)

I AM FALLING
SOMEONE’S CALLING
THERE’S MY BODY
BUT WHERE AM I?

(REPEAT CHORUS THEN SOLO RIFF)

WELL, THEY FOUND ME THERE, WEARING A SMILE
WITH A VACANT STARE LIKE A CROCODILE
I WAS DANCING DOWN THE SWAMP ROAD COVERED IN DIRT
WITH NO SIGN OF A 77 LIME GREEN CADILLAC HEARSE

(BRIDGE 2)

I AM FALLING
SOMEONE’S CALLING
THERE’S MY BODY
BUT WHERE AM I?
WHO AM I?
WHAT AM I?
OHHHHHHH, YEAH

SOME DAYS I FEEL LIKE DAVID

(JUTZ, WEISBERGER, ROSS)

SOME DAYS I FEEL LIKE DAVID, I GOTTA SLAY THE GIANT OUT THERE
AND ALL I GOT’S AN SLINGSHOT, A PEBBLE AND A PRAYER
IT MIGHT SEEM IMPOSSIBLE BUT YOU NEVER KNOW
GIVE IT A WHIRL, GIVE IT A HURL AND LET IT GO

SOME DAYS I FEEL LIKE NOAH, BUILDING ON A BOAT
BENDING BOARDS AND PATCHING HOLES AND PRAYING IT’S GONNA FLOAT
IT MIGHT SEEM IMPOSSIBLE BUT YOU NEVER KNOW
LOAD YOUR ZOO TWO BY TWO AND LET IT GO

SOME DAYS I FEEL LIKE THOMAS, DOUBTING MY OWN EYES
CAN’T BELIEVE IN WHAT I SEE, AFRAID IT’S ONLY LIES
WELL, IT MIGHT SEEM IMPOSSIBLE BUT YOU NEVER KNOW
CUT THE CORD AND TRUST THE LORD AND LET IT GO

SOME DAYS I FEEL LIKE PETER WHO GOES THE EXTRA MILE
SUPPOSEDLY THE STRONGEST ONE YET DROWNING IN DENIAL
WELL, IT MIGHT SEEM IMPOSSIBLE BUT THIS ONE THING I KNOW
YOU CAN GIVE YOUR SIN RIGHT BACK TO HIM AND LET IT GO

YEAH, IT MIGHT SEEM IMPOSSIBLE BUT THIS ONE THING I KNOW,
YOU CAN GIVE YOUR SIN RIGHT BACK TO HIM AND LET IT GO

YESTERDAY’S PAPER

(JUTZ, STEFL, ROSS)

DOWN BY THE MISSION ON SECOND AVENUE
I ASKED AROUND TO EVERY COP AND HUSTLER THAT I KNEW
CRAZY HENRY SAW HER RIDE OFF WITH SOME DUDE
IN A LATE MODEL CADILLAC LAST NIGHT

(CHORUS)

MAN, YOU KNOW YOU COULDN’T STOP HER
SHE WAS RUNNING FULL THROTTLE
CHEAPER THAN A BOTTLE OF MAD DOG WINE
SHE WASN’T LOOKING FOR A SAVIOR
AND NOW THE LOVE I GAVE HER
IS LIKE YESTERDAY’S PAPER BLOWING ON DOWN THE LINE

MISTER, PLEASE FORGIVE ME BUT HAND OVER YOUR KEYS
I MIGHT SAY I’M SORRY BUT I AIN’T SAYING PLEASE
YOU SEE I’M IN A HURRY AND PROBABLY RIGHT NOW SHE’S
RIDING HIGH 500 MILES AWAY

(REPEAT CHORUS)

OFFICER, YOU GOT ME, MY HANDS ARE ON THE HOOD
THE PISTOL’S IN MY POCKET SO LOCK ME UP FOR GOOD
IF I HAD TO DO IT OVER, I KNOW DAMN WELL I WOULD
JUST TO SEE THE LOOK ON HER FACE

(REPEAT CHORUS)

PEOPLE POSTING PICTURES

(JEFFERSON ROSS)

MY GIRLFRIEND SAYS, HEY BOYFRIEND, YOU ARE WAY BEHIND
YOU GOTTA YOUR NAME OUT THERE PUT YOUR FACE ONLINE
SHE SAYS YOU’LL BE IN CYBER-HIGH SOCIETY
WELL, IT’S THREE A.M. AND ALL THAT I CAN SEE
ARE…

(CHORUS)
PEOPLE POSTING PICTURES OF THEIR DOGS AND CATS
THEIR BREAKFAST AND THEIR DINNER AND THEIR SWEET RUGRATS
ALTHOUGH I CAN’T STOP STARING I THINK THAT I’M IN HELL
WITH PEOPLE POSTING PICTURES OF THEMSELVES

SHE SAID THAT IT’S THE ONLY WAY TO SELL YOUR BOOK
JUST GET 10,000 OF YOUR FRIENDS TO TAKE A LOOK
SAID IT’S FASCINATING, IT’S LIKE YOU’RE ON TV
WELL, IT’S FOUR A.M. AND ALL THAT I CAN SEE
ARE..

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(SOLO)

SHE SAY THIS SITE WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE IN ALL YOU DO
YOUR QUOTABLE AND TOTABLE FREE GURU
IT’S THE BRAND NEW ENLIGHTENMENT AND IMMORTALITY
WELL, IT’S FIVE A.M. AND ALL THAT I CAN SEE

(REPEAT CHORUS AND FADE)

I’M YOUR MEMORY

(TOMBERLIN, JENKINS, ROSS)

(CHORUS)

I’M YOUR MEMORY
YOU MAY HATE ME BUT YOU CAN’T CHANGE ME
TRY TO LOSE ME
RUN ME OFF ‘TIL CLOSING TIME
BUT, I’LL BE BACK COME MORNING LIGHT
YOU’RE BEGGING ME TO DISAPPEAR
BUT I’M YOUR MEMORY
I’M ALWAYS HERE

WAVES CRASHING DOWN ON A SUNSET COAST
THE SMELL OF HER HAIR WHEN SHE HELD YOU CLOSE
THE SONG THEY WERE SINGING ON YOUR FIRST DANCE
THE RUSH YOU FELT JUST HOLDING HANDS

(REPEAT CHORUS)

THE SIGHT OF HER BAG SITTING ON THE PORCH
THE LONESOME SOUND OF A SLAMMING DOOR
THE BITTER WORDS THAT MADE HER CRY
THE HAUNTING CHILL WHEN SHE SAID GOODBYE

(REPEAT CHORUS AND TAG)

STORIES

(JEFFERSON ROSS)

HERE’S TO US MY OLD FRIENDS
UNTIL IT’S TIME TO DRINK THE WINE AND BREAK THE BREAD AGAIN
GO OUT AND SHAKE THE WORLD LIKE A WILLOW TREE
AND BRING SOME STORIES, BRING YOUR STORIES BACK TO ME

I HOPE YOUR DAYS ARE SWEET AND SUNNY
AND YOU SHOOT THE BULL WITH POCKETS FULL OF EXTRA FOLDING MONEY
AND MAY YOUR FLY YOUR FLAG IN VICTORY
AND BRING SOME STORIES, BRING YOUR STORIES BACK TO ME

(CHORUS)

IT AIN’T A CRIME TO BE A HUMAN
NEVER BE ASHAMED TO BE YOURSELF
REST ASSURED THAT WHATEVER YOU’RE DOING
WILL ENTERTAIN ME LIKE NOBODY ELSE

(SOLO)

TEND YOUR LIFE, TEND YOUR MYTH
CULTIVATE YOUR NARRATIVE WITH WHOMEVER YOU’RE WITH
THEN WITH GLASS IN HAND AND CHILDREN ON ONE KNEE
BRING SOME STORIES, BRING YOUR STORIES BACK TO ME

(REPEAT CHORUS)

SO HERE’S TO US, MY OLD FRIENDS
UNTIL IT’S TIME TO DRINK THE WINE AND BREAK THE BREAD AGAIN
WITH GLASS IN HAND AND CHILDREN ON ONE KNEE
BRING SOME STORIES, BRING YOUR STORIES
BACK TO ME….
