We're all praying to find it...

Little Annie Vickers is boarding up windows
And her old dog is strained on a silos
Hey, there Annie, don't even think it
So much water and you can't even drink it

Well, maybe by Christmas they'll dig up the rows
Take whatever you can, girl, and leave the rest for the crows
Leave the rest for the crows

Living in Crawford for fifteen years
Nothing much ever happens round here
And, no one believed the water would come
Til the sky grew dark and it swallowed the sun

And it rained for forty-two nights and forty-two days
And everything that we love is floating away

How long til our dreams run dry
Don't know but we're staying
On our knees we raise our eyes
Holding on and praying to find one blue sky

Mrs Wilson sits with an insurance adjuster
Big city boy, she never did trust him
Have you been getting the letters I'm sending
Cause the preacher swears that the world is ending

Well, if there's a way out, wish someone would show us
We keep looking around here for some modern day Moses

How long til our dreams run dry
Don't know but we're staying
On our knees we raise our eyes
Holding on and praying to find one blue sky

We will dig in our heels hard as we can
But the backyard looks like the Rio Grande
And I wonder will it wash us clean or wash us away

How long til our dreams run dry
Don't know but we're staying
On our knees we raise our eyes
Holding on and praying to find one blue sky

(How long til our dreams run dry)
(Don't know but we're staying)
On our knees we raise our eyes
Holding on and praying to find one blue sky
(Blue sky) one blue sky



Sugarland, "One Blue Sky".

Maybe, baby...

Queria tanto gravar essa música. Acho que vou jogar a idéia pro Alex amanhã e faço backing vocal pra ele.



Every Christmas I come back to this town
I come looking through some lost and found
Wondering if you're still hanging around down here

With the holiday lights they line these streets
Where I once loved you and you once loved me
I'm sorry, it just gets to me

I wonder if I called up your house
If your momma would let you out?

Maybe, baby
I'll see you this Christmas, what do you say
Or maybe, baby
I"ll see you on New Year's Day

I remember your eyes with the snow outside
You said, "This place always looked a little better in white."
I wanna look up and see your face one more time

Feels like the clock stopped ticking the day that I left
I think of you and I still catch my breath
I'm sorry, you just get to me

I wonder if you'll be going out
There's only one party in this town

Maybe, baby
I'll see you this Christmas
I hope and pray
Or maybe, baby
I'll see you on New Year's Day

Baby, it's so strange being back here again
I keep running into all of our old friends
This whole town ringing one more year
I don't wanna let this feeling disappear
I pray that you might be her tonight
And there you were standing, shining underneath that light
Screaming at the ball on the TV counting down
Streamers and papers piling up on the ground

Baby, did you come here alone?
Are you maybe looking for someone?
To kiss you?
God, I've missed you

Maybe, baby, we didn't get Christmas
But if you stay
Or maybe, baby
We could have New Year's Day
Maybe,
Maybe, maybe

Really an incredible machine!

Twelve days. That's all we have to wait for the incredible machine. And this song I have just finished the lyrics is by far my favorite of all I have spoiled about the album. It's called "Stand Up" and Kristian sings THE HELL out of it. There's no need to talk about Jen's vocal range, but she holds a note for almost 30 seconds. She holds a damn note and she's not pitchy, indeed. I guess I have never seen someone so good vocally. No Carrie, no Martina, no Kelly, nobody can be compared to Jenny. Absolutelly amazing.

All the lonely people crying
It could change if we just get started
Lift the darkness, light a fire
For the silent in the broken hearted

Won't you stand up, stand up, stand up
Won't you stand up you girls and boys
Won't you stand up, stand up, stand up
Won't you stand up and use your voice

There's a comfort, there's a healing
High above the pain and sorrow
Change is coming, can you feel it?
Calling us in to a new tomorrow

Won't you stand up, stand up, stand up
Won't you stand up you girls and boys
Won't you stand up, stand up, stand up
Won't you stand up and use your voice

When the walls fall all around you
When your hope has turned to dust
Let the sound of love surround you
Beat like a heart in each of us

Won't you stand up, stand up, stand up
Won't you stand up you girls and boys
Won't you stand up, stand up, stand up
Won't you stand up and use your voice

Can't wait for IM! Cannot wait for it!

Sugarland - Stuck Like Glue

Essa música fez minha péssima semana virar uma das melhores ever. Sugarland como sempre acabando com a tristeza das pessoas. Um grude maravilhoso. Literalmente stuck like glue. Primeiro single do The Incredible Machine, que sai dia 19 de outubro. Mais um que vou importar.

MMMM better...MMMM better...
Absolutely no one that knows me better
No one that can make me feel so good
How did we stay so long together?
When everybody, everybody said we never would
And just when I, I start to think they're right
That love has died...

There you go making my heart beat again,
Heart beat again, heart beat again
There you go making me feel like a kid
Won't you do it and do it one time?
There you go pulling me right back in,
Right back in, right back in
And i know I'm never letting this go

I'm stuck on you
Whutooo whutooo
Stuck like glue
You and me baby we're stuck like glue
Whutooo whutooo
Stuck like glue
You and me baby we're stuck like glue

Some days I don't feel like trying
Some days you know I wanna just give up
When it doesn't matter who's right,
Thought about it all night "had enough"
You give me that look
"I'm sorry baby let's make up"
You do that thing that makes me laugh
And just like that...


There you go making my heart beat again,
Heart beat again, heart beat again
There you go making me feel like a kid
Won't you do it and do it one time
There you go pulling me right back in,
Right back in, right back in
And i know I'm never letting this go

I'm stuck on you
Whutooo whutooo
Stuck like glue
You and me baby we're stuck like glue
Whutooo whutooo
Stuck like glue
You and me baby were stuck like glue

Whutooo Whutoo

You almost stay out, too stuck together from the (????)
Whutooo Whutoo
Feeling kinda sick?
Just a spoon full of sugar make it better real quick

I say
Whutooo Whutoo
Whatcha gonna do with that?
Whutooo Whutoo
Come on over here with that
Sugar sticky sweet stuff
Come on give me that stuff
Everybody wants some
Melodies that get stuck

Up in your head
whutooo whutooo

Up in your head
whutooo whutooo

Up in your head
whutooo whutooo

Up in your head
whutooo whutooo

whuthoo whutooo
Stuck like glue
You and me together, say, it's all I wanna do
I said

There you go making my heart beat again,
Heart beat again, heart beat again
There you go making me feel like a kid
Won't you do it and do it one time
There you go pulling me right back in,
Right back in, right back in
And i know I'm never letting this go

There you go making my heart beat again,
Heart beat again, heart beat again
There you go making me feel like a kid
Won't you do it and do it one time
There you go pulling me right back in,
Right back in, right back in
And i know-oo I'm never letting this go-ooo

I'm stuck on you
Whutooo whutooo
Stuck like glue
You and me baby we're stuck like glue
Whutooo whutooo
Stuck like glue
You and me baby were stuck like glue
Whutooo whutooo
stuck like glue
you and me baby we're stuck like glue
