LET ME LOVE AGAIN
(Maura Fogarty/Christine Love/John Bertsche)
Up from the grave
And down through the ages
They say it’s from jesus
And the angels who bring it
In my disbelief
You’re my mercy seat
With the taste of your skin
I almost forget where i’ve been
So breathe on me, and hope will descend
Hold me close, awaken my senses
Pull me up from this grave i lie in
Kiss me and let me love again
There’s hope and there’s meaning
When i feel your heart beating
And when i touch your hair
It shines through your eyes i swear
So breathe on me, and hope will descend
Hold me close, awaken my senses
Pull me up from this grave i lie in
Kiss me and let me love again
If hope is the blood of love’s existence
Hell is the lesson of my heart’s resistance
So breathe on me, and hope will descend
Hold me close, awaken my senses
Pull me up from this grave i lie in
Kiss me and let me love again

DID YOU THINK ABOUT ME
(Maura Fogarty/John Bertsche/Sonny Tillis)
Cold concrete under my feet
Walking up and down this lonely street
Wonderin’ did you think about me
When you held her tight in the middle of the night
And you broke my heart in the cool moonlight
Just wonderin’ did you think about me
When you kissed her lips did you taste my tears
When you looked in her eyes did you see me here
Could you feel my body when you held her tenderly
Did you think about me
When you said i do and you swore you would
Did it really mean you’d be up to no good
Just wonderin’ did you think about me
When the shine wore off you were good as gone
Did you always know you’d do me wrong
Just wonderin’ did you think about me
When you kissed her lips did you taste my tears
When you looked in her eyes did you see me here
Could you feel my body when you held her tenderly
Did you think about me
When the tables turned and she burned you down
And your tender dreams hit the cold hard ground
Did you learn your lesson when she brought you to your knees
When you kissed her lips did you taste my tears
When you looked in her eyes did you see me here
Could you feel my body when you held her tenderly
Did you think about me

WHY
(Maura Fogarty/John Bertsche/Sonny Tillis)
It’s four in the mornin’ and you swore you’d be home last night
Why did i wait up why do i leave on the light
How many times is it gonna take
How many nights does my heart have to break
Over & over i’ve made the mistake
Hopin’, prayin’, that one day you’d change
Why don’t i know my lesson by now
After all this time you think i’d figure it out
There’s weeds in the roses that you used to be so proud of
It’s a painful reminder of what’s goin’ on with our love
What keeps me here in spite of it all
Knowing’ more tears surely will fall
I watch you walk out and i watch you crawl
Back in the door again when will it ever end
Why don’t i know my lesson by now
After all this time you think i’d figure it out
You’ve tried and you’ve tried to teach me i know
I’m better off just letting you go
Why don’t i know my lesson by now
After all this time you think i’d figure it out
Why i don’t i know my lesson by now

YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MINE
(Bob Regan/Chris Lindsey)
I love the way you move like moonlight on the sea
The way your body calls me like a secret melody
The way you start a fire when you look into my eyes
The way you always love me until i’m satisfied
There are moments that i love you
Beyond the limits of my human heart
I wanna hold you and take care of you
The way the angels watch over the stars
Past the pull of earth across the deep blue sky
Through the universe beyond the reach of time
You will always be mine
I don’t know how you know exactly what i need
I don’t know how you found just who i wanna be
I don’t know how your sweet touch
Made me feel again i don’t know how you know
I don’t know how you go everywhere i’ve been
There are moments that i love you
Beyond the limits of my human heart
I wanna hold you and take care of you
The way the angels watch over the stars
Past the pull of earth across the deep blue sky
Through the universe beyond the reach of time
You will always be mine

CLIFFS OF DOONEEN
(Traditional)
Oh i have travelled far far from my own native home
Far away o’er the mountains far away o’er the foam
I have been many places many sights i have seen
But there’s none to compare with the cliffs of dooneen
What a nice place to be on a fine summer day
To view the grand cherries that will never decay
Oh the gay lofty pheasants are quite plain to be seen
Making homes for their young ‘round the cliffs of dooneen
Take a view ‘cross the shannon fine sights you’ll see there
You’ll see the high rocky mountains on the west coast of clare
Oh the towns of kilrush and kilkee can be seen
From those old rocky slopes ‘round the cliffs of dooneen
Oh i have traced my own footsteps in search of some gold
Through the dance halls and cinemas where love stories are told
It is there you will see every lad and colleen
Going home from those slopes ‘round the cliffs of dooneen
Fare thee well oh dooneen fare thee well for awhile
And to all the kind neighbors i’m leaving behind
May my soul never rest ‘til it’s laid on the green
Near those old rocky slopes ‘round the cliffs of dooneen

DOMINO
(Maura Fogarty/John Bertsche/Sonny Tillis)
You’ve got a cold hard reputation
You’re a walkin’ cheatin’ legend ‘round these parts
And just because we had a situation
Doesn’t give you any right to start
Just because our eyes met
And i might have smiled at you
That don’t mean you’re gonna get
Me to fall just like all the others do
‘cause i’ve seen you enough to know your story
And i’ve seen your pretty maids all in a row
You set ‘em up and knock ‘em down
Left a trail all over town
But i won’t be your domino
Well you must be mistaken (baby)
I think you’ve got the wrong address
Comin’ all the way up here thinkin’
You could leave my heart a mess
And i’ve seen you enough to know your story
I’ve seen your pretty maids all in a row
Set ‘em up and knock ‘em down
Left a trail all over town
But i won’t be your domino
Ooh, i’d be dancin’ with the devil
If i let you hold me in your arms so tight
Ooh, i know you’re lookin’ for an angel
But the answer’s cut and dry it’s black and white
And i’ve seen you enough to know your story
And i’ve seen your pretty maids all in a row
Set ‘em up and knock ‘em down
Left a trail all over town
But i won’t be your domino

LEAVIN’ ON YOUR MIND
(Webb Pierce/Walker)
If you’ve got leavin’ on your mind
Tell me now get it over
Hurt me now get it over
If you’ve got leavin’on your mind
If there’s a new love in your heart
Tell me now get it over
Hurt me now get it over
If there’s a new love in your heart
Don’t leave me here in a world
Filled with dreams that might have been
Hurt me now get it over
I might learn to love again
If there’s a new love in your heart
Tell me now get it over
Hurt me now get it over
If there’s a new love in your heart
Hurt me now get it over
If there’s a new love in your heart

SEVEN HUNDRED DAYS
(Maura Fogarty/John Bertsche)
Well i’ve got no room for thinkin’
And i’ve got no time to cry
‘cause i’m rollin’ down this highway
And i’m all through wondrin’ why
Yeah you took me so for granted
Just like i was made of clay
And nothing ever mattered
Except you any way
700 days it’s still a mystery
I don’t understand what’s kept me here so long
And i don’t have a plan to save the nation
Just a tank of gas and destination gone
There was somethin’ that was missin’
I knew somethin’ had to give
There were just too many questions
And that’s no way to live
Yeah that's no way to live
700 days it’s still a mystery
I don’t understand what’s kept me here so long
And i don’t have a plan to save the nation
Just a tank of gas destination gone

A THOUSAND TIMES A DAY
(Maura Fogarty/John Bertsche)
Maybe i turned around in circles
When i should’ve gone straight
Maybe i learned my lessons slow
And a little too late
But there was never a moment when i didn’t try
Now the only thing i keep on wondering is why
Yeah why
I know enough to know the rain will end
But i don’t know if i can go through this again
What ever happened to the best of friends
I tell myself i’ll be okay a thousand times a day
Maybe i ran too hard and fast
When i should’ve slowed down
Maybe i kept my eye on the sky
‘stead of testin’ the ground
But i never did anything baby
Without thinkin’ of you
Now the only thing i keep on wonderin’
Is what didn’t i do
I know enough to know the rain will end
But i don’t know if i can go through this again
What ever happened to the best of friends
I tell myself i’ll be okay a thousand times a day
I know enough to know the rain will end
But i don’t know if i can go through this again
What ever happened to the best of friends
I tell myself i’ll be okay a thousand times a day

NO MAN’S LAND
(Maura Fogarty/John Bertsche/Christine Love)
You didn’t listen when she talked about her needs
Forgot to mention your anniversaries
You paid no attention to the things she had to say
It’s amazing what people throw away
You took her for granted you were way too cool
When she got excited you’d treat her like a fool boy
You broke her down with a game she couldn’t play
It’s amazin’ what people throw away
Did you not think she could rise from the ashes
Did you not see what was slippin’ through your hands
You know she’s gonna walk out of the fire
She won’t get burned in no mans land
Now you’ll never know what you were missin’ out on
She’s on the move her lonely days are gone
The way it all went down there’s one thing i can say
It’s just amazin’ what people throw away
Did you not think she could rise from the ashes
Did you not see she was slippin’ through your hands
You know she’s gonna walk out of the fire
She won’t get burned in no mans land
So much for your master plan
Did you not think she would rise from the ashes
Did you not see what was slippin’ through your hands
You know she’s gonna walk out of the fire
She won’t get burned in no mans land

ARE WE STILL IN LOVE
(Maura Fogarty/John Bertsche)
I know you’ve been cryin’ baby i’ve been cryin’ too
And it can be so hard to say the things i want to say to you
Your coat of many colors keeps on blinding me
You wear your past like an apology
An old excuse for what you cannot be
And i’m not sure just who i see
There’s a shadow on the moon tonight
I can’t pretend that we’re alright a chilly feeling in the light
That’s shining down on us/ and everything looks cold and gray
The colors have been washed away
And i don’t think that we’re okay when push comes to shove
Are we still in love
It took so long to get here/ but we keep losing ground
Will you run again/ before the truth can pin you down
I’ve always known what’s in this heart of mine
I think about you baby all the time
There’s a shadow on the moon tonight
I can’t pretend that we’re alright a chilly feeling in the light
That’s shining down on us/ and everything looks cold and gray
The colors have been washed away
And i don’t think that we’re okay when push comes to shove
Are we still in love
Does it mean i know the answer if i have to ask
‘cause baby i don’t want to set you free
Take a little time to breathe and tell me what you need from me
Just say you won’t give up so easily
There’s a shadow on the moon tonight
I wanna know we’ll be alright a chilly feeling in the light
That’s shining down on us/ and everything looks cold and gray
The colors have been washed away
And i don’t think that we’re okay when push comes to shove
Are we still in love

Will you ever understand
(maura fogarty/randy scruggs)
I never knew that i could ever be this strong
But when you walked out of the door and left me here
I had to carry on make it on my own
And it took time but finally i could see
What we thought was ours forever was never meant to be
Will you ever understand it’s not the same as it was then
We’ll never love that way again will you ever understand
Now this heart of mine that you broke right in two
Well it’s stronger now then it was then it’s all because of you
If i only knew
Don’t make it hard on me just turn and walk away
Goodbyes are never easy there’s nothing more to say
Will you ever understand it’s not the same as it was then
We’ll never love that way again will you ever understand

TEN MILLION YEARS
(Maura Fogarty/Michael Bransfield/Gene Levine)
Magazines and talk shows
It never fails
The secret to fulfillment is always on sale
Everyone’s an expert with opinions of their own
The one’s who have the answers
Are the one’s who really know
It’s not complicated or hard to explain
Love makes us happy its absence causes pain
It’s not complicated as it appears
And that hasn’t changed in ten million years
When i was a child i never worried much
I liked everybody i didn’t judge
Now i’ve been educated but i really don’t feel smart
Why has it become a struggle to open up my heart
It’s not complicated or hard to explain
Love makes us happy its absence causes pain
It’s not complicated as it appears
And that hasn’t changed in ten million years
It’s not complicated as it appears
And that hasn’t changed in ten million years

FIFTEEN MINUTES
(Maura Fogarty/John Bertsche)
You took off on your carpet ride
You didn’t even wave goodbye
To all of us you left behind here standing on the ground
The glitter and the lights will fade
The good revues and news you made
Will all just be your glory days when you lose your crown
How will it feel to be you again
Your fifteen minutes came and went
You better take a look around
‘cause baby it’s a long way down
So fly away and have your fun
Flash your smile and throw your crumbs
Don’t forget where you come from it all comes back around
How will it feel to be you again
Your fifteen minutes came and went
You better take a look around
‘cause baby it’s a long way down

I’LL GET OVER YOU
(Wayne Walker/Webb Pierce)
One thing ‘bout this heart of mine
All my hurt’s gonna mend in time
It don’t leave no scars behind i’ll get over you
I’ll find me a guy one day who’s not scared to give his heart away
When i do it’s safe to say i’ll get over you
I’ll get over you i’ll get through and when i do
I’ll be good as new when i get over you
From now on think i’ll lay low
I’ll talk fast but i’ll move slow
You taught me all i need to know ‘bout gettin’ over you
Sometimes think i love you still wonder if i always will
But i know it’s just until i get over you
I’ll get over you i’ll get through and when i do
I’ll be good as new when i get over you

EVERY NOW AND THEN
(Maura Fogarty/Randy Scruggs)
Everybody seems to be worried ‘bout me
Ever since you left they all say i've changed
And you’re to blame
I don’t really know what their talking about
I still got my job and things are going fine
Most of the time
But every now and then i ask about you
Every now and then i feel a little blue
Every now and then i drink a little too much wine
Every once in a while i call out your name
Every once in a while i feel a little pain
What’s a little heartache every now and then
Life goes on i can’t complain
I take it kind a slow i take it day by day
Avoiding the craze
So can they read my eyes do i give it away
Occasional thoughts of why you couldn’t stay
I just can’t say
But every now and then i ask about you
Every now and then i feel a little blue
Every now and then i drink a little too much wine
Every once in a while i call out your name
Every once in a while i feel a little pain
What’s a little heartache every now and then
Can you blame me for thinkin’ about you
Do you blame me for feeling the way that i do
The fire that burned for me inside your heart
Is burning for somebody new
But every now and then i ask about you
Every now and then i feel a little blue
Every now and then i drink a little too much wine
Every once in a while i call out your name
Every once in a while i feel a little pain
What’s a little heartache every now and then

SHORES OF AMERIKAY
(Traditional)
I’m bidding farewell to the land of my youth
And the homes that i love so well
To the mountains so grand in my own native land
I’m bidding them all fare well
With an aching heart i will ‘bid them adieu
For tomorrow i’ll sail far away
O’er the raging foam for to seek a home
On the shores of amerikay
I’ts not for the want of employment i’m going
It’s not for the love of fame
That fortune bright may shine over me
And give me a glorious name
It’s not for the want of employment i’m going
O’er the weary and stormy sea
But to seek a home with my own true love
On the shores of amerikay
And when i am bidding my last fare well
The tears like rain will blind
To think of my friends in my own native land
And the homes i am leaving behind
And if i’m to die in a foreign land
And be buried so far far away
No fond mothers tears will be shed o’er my grave
On the shores of amerikay
