PETER BRADLEY ADAMS – My Love Is My Love

I spent all my money trying to look stable
Bought you a diamond before I was able
But a man’s got to gamble if he wants to look proud
My luck is my luck and I guess it ran out

My stories and secrets, I saw how they scared you
The places I’ve been that you never dared to
Well a man ain’t ashamed of the things that he’s done
My past is my past that’s where I came from

What kind of love do you want from a man
My love is my love
It’s all that I have

I told you my plans but you just weren’t ready
You said that my words, they made you feel heavy
A man’s got to speak without being asked
My words are my words and I can’t take them back

What kind of love do you want from a man
My love is my love
It’s all that I have

You said all you wanted was someone to chase you
But you shrank in my arms each time I’d embrace you
Well a man’s got to try before he can quit
My pride is my pride and I’d risk it again

What kind of love do you want from a man
My love is my love
And it’s all that I have

What kind of love do you want from a man
My love is my love
And it’s all that I have
My love is my love
And it’s all that I have

PETER BRADLEY ADAMS – Mother Don’t Look Down

There’s no break from the sound of the siren’s call
It will ring in your ears right to the dawn
Oh mother, oh mother don’t look down
Cause your children, your children will soon be found

They were raised by your hands to love and fear
When they cried in the dark you held them near
Oh mother, oh mother don’t be sad
Cause your children, your children will soon come back

You will hear them when they call across the sky
And find them forever in that sweet by and by

When it seems like the sky around you falls
And those faces you love you can’t recall
Oh mother, oh mother don’t you frown
Cause your children, your children are round you now

You will hear them when they call across the sky
And find them forever in that sweet by and by
And find them forever in the sweet by and by

PETER BRADLEY ADAMS – London Bridge Is Falling Down

London Bridge is falling down
London Bridge is falling
My lady fair where are you now
Cause London Bridge is falling

London Bridge is falling down
London Bridge is falling
My lady fair where are you now
Cause London Bridge is falling

Build it up with wood and clay
London Bridge is falling
But wood and clay may wash away
All gone before the morning

Build it up with bricks and stone
London Bridge is falling
But bricks and stone won’t last alone
They’ll crumble ‘fore the morning

London Bridge is falling down
London Bridge is falling
My lady fair where are you now
Cause London Bridge is falling

London Bridge is falling down
London Bridge is falling
My lady fair where are you now
Cause London Bridge is falling

Build it up with iron and steel
London Bridge is falling
But iron and steel will bend and reel
And break before the morning

Build it up with shiny gold
London Bridge is falling
But soon the gold will all be stone
And lost before the morning

London Bridge is falling down
London Bridge is falling
My lady fair where are you now
Cause London Bridge is falling

London Bridge is falling down
London Bridge is falling
My lady fair where are you now
Cause London Bridge is falling

Sent a man to watch the night
London Bridge is falling
Suppose the man should close his eyes
And sleep until the morning

Give the man a pipe to light
London Bridge is falling
Pack it full and last the night
And burn until the morning

London Bridge is falling down
London Bridge is falling
My lady fair where are you now
Cause London Bridge is falling

London Bridge is falling down
London Bridge is falling
My lady fair where are you now
Cause London Bridge is falling

London Bridge is falling down
London Bridge is falling
My lady fair where are you now
Cause London Bridge is falling

London Bridge is falling down
London Bridge is falling
My lady fair where are you now
Cause London Bridge is falling

My lady fair where are you now
Cause London Bridge is falling

PETER BRADLEY ADAMS – Katy

She’s got her face in all the fashion magazines
Picture perfect photographic queen
But I like her best undone

She lights up every room like holy fire
And everybody burns to stand beside her
But she let’s me hold her all night long
And in the morning as she’s gone

Oh Katy
Katy
Don’t you know I’m waiting
Katy I’ll keep carrying on
But don’t be long

She’s spent the night a million different places
She knows each and every one on a first name basis
But I have seen her lying still

She’s probably out there breaking someone’s heart
And she don’t know it but he’s halfway torn apart
And I know just how he feels
Yeah I know just how it feels

Oh Katy
Katy
Don’t you know I’m waiting
Katy I’ll keep carrying on
But darling, don’t be long

Katy I’ll keep carrying on
Katy I’ll keep carrying on
But darling, darling
Darling don’t be long

PETER BRADLEY ADAMS – I May Not Let Go

I want to walk beside you
But the wind’s too heavy
Now I’m trying to find you
And the road is long

I’m on a dried up river
Beside a broke down levee
I’ve got nothing to give you
But a lonesome song

Just a little bit worn out
Just a little bit bitter
I gotta let my guard down
I gotta loosen my grip

I hear these voices
They don’t sound familiar
Making all of these choices
Taking all these trips

If I hold you tonight
I may not let go

Now it’s come a long way
And my heart feels older
And I feel that shiver
Running down my spine

And the ground is frozen
And the air is colder
But my heart is open
Beating out of time

And if I hold you tonight
I may not let go
And if I hold you tonight
I may not let go

Show me the place I can hide
Tell me you’ll see me tonight

Old train keeps rolling
Nowhere bound
I hear the whistle blowing
Such a lonely sound

And if I hold you tonight
I may not let go
And if I hold you tonight
I may not let go
Oh and if I hold you tonight
I may not let go

PETER BRADLEY ADAMS – Full Moon Song

There’s a moon rising slowly through the trees
There’s a moon shining bright upon my feet
And tonight the dogs are coming to capture me

Now I’m standing in the wake of forty years
And from this prison I have broken free and clear
And I’m praying that the morning won’t catch me here

I want to live like a kid with holes in his boots
I want to climb like a child in a tree
I want to love like the man with nothing to lose
I want to die with my heart on my sleeve

I’ll forget about the things that I have done
I’ll forget about the years out on the run
And dream of every woman I’ve ever loved

Cause I know I was not the only guilty man
Just the one who worked the blood on his hands
And tonight I’m gonna find me a second chance

I wanna live like a kid with holes in his boots
I wanna climb like a child in a tree
I wanna love like the man with nothing to lose
And die with my heart on my sleeve

Now the moon has risen straight across the sky
Better move along cause they ain’t far behind
Come morning I’ll be crossing the next state line

And I will walk upon the land that I will own
And I will build a place that I can call my home
And I’ll still be singing when I get old

I wanna live like a kid with holes in his boots
I wanna climb like a child in a tree
I wanna love like the man with nothing to lose
And die with my heart on my sleeve

I wanna live like a kid with holes in his boots
I wanna climb like a child in a tree
I wanna love like the man with nothing to lose
And die with my heart on my sleeve
And die with my heart on my sleeve

PETER BRADLEY ADAMS – Emily’s Rain

In the shadows that she paints
Lie the stories she can’t tell
But the trees she lights on fire
And the colors cast a spell

All the waiting it’s been hard
She picks at the food on her plate
There’s so much that he could give
There’s so much that he could take

All her life she’s looked up to the clouds
For the rain to fall, break up this fallow ground

One day soon she will be loved
It’s written deep within her fate
And every generation gone
Will gather round to celebrate

From mouth to mouth will come the words
Year to year and face to face
From the hands down in the hurt
And in her intensive grace

She will raise the windows high
Let the light come streaming in
And though the wind will burn her eyes
She will learn to breathe again

All her life she’s looked up to the clouds
For the rain to fall, break up this fallow ground
For the rain to fall, break up this fallow ground

Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na

PETER BRADLEY ADAMS – Don’t Rest Your Weight On Me Now

You say that I’ve strayed from the road I walked as a child
You say that my youth and my heart haven’t chosen what’s right
Don’t tell me I’m aimless
Cause I ain’t gonna fight

You bury your faith in the book you clutch in the dark
You keep praying I’ll hear every word and it tears you apart
Don’t tell me I’m faithless
Cause I ain’t gonna fight
We both know a place
Where we know who we are

Don’t rest your weight on me now
You’re not gonna change me by putting me down
My faith lies deep in the ground

If Jesus exists he don’t live in the pages we write
He’d say put down your books and come follow me out in the light
Don’t me I’m crazy
Cause I ain’t gonna fight
We both want to hold on
To what peace we can find

Don’t rest your weight on me now
You’re not gonna change me by putting me down
My faith lies deep in the ground
My faith lies deep in the ground

PETER BRADLEY ADAMS – Between Us

Hey stranger or may I call you my own
I know I don’t know you, but there’s somewhere I’ve seen you before
Whatever your name is, whatever you do
There’s nothing between us I’m willing to loose

Just call me if ever our paths may climb
I want you to call me under these darkened sky’s
Whoever you love, whoever you kiss
The wandering between us I’m willing to miss

Now I’m drifting out over deep oceans
And the tide won’t take me back in
And these desperate nights I’ll call you again and again

There’s comfort, comfort in things we believe
Other than danger, wanting the things I can’t see

Where ever you live now, where ever you walk
There’s distance between us I’m willing to cross
Now I’m drifting out over deep oceans
And the tide won’t take me back in
And these desperate nights I’ll call you again and again

Now I’m drifting out over deep oceans
And the tide won’t take me back in
And these desperate nights I’ll call you again and again

Hey stranger or may I call you my own
I know I don’t know you, but there’s somewhere I’ve seen you before.

PETER BRADLEY ADAMS – Be Still My Heart

I don’t know how love begins
It moves too fast for me to tell
I’ll raise a flag to catch the wind
Safe at the bottom of a well

It came and went just like a spark
And lit a fire in my head
It burned a hole right through my heart
And left a ghost beside my bed

You walk before me
A shape in the dark
A shape in the dark
These dreams they hold me
And tear me apart
They tear me apart

Be still my heart
Be still my heart

One more time before I fall
I’m gonna stand within your reach
And throw my head against the wall
And break the promises I keep

Some day before me
There’s peace in the night
There’s peace in the night
Someday you’ll show me
It all worked out right
It all worked out right

Be still my heart
Be still my heart
Be still my heart
Be still my heart
