RYAN ADAMS – Save Me

What am I doing here?
In the setting sun
With the windows down
What am I?
Like a breaking bell
Ringing like a sigh
What am I doing here?
What am I?

Somebody save me
It’s just too much pain
If someone can save me
From the morning, I will remain
Somebody save me
Save me…

In the early dawn
With your heavy bend
And your careless heart
Where you been?
From the windows of
Just another midnight bar
You remember everything
Everything’s so far

Somebody save me
I just can’t go on
If someone don’t save me
By the morning I will be gone
By the morning I will be gone
Somebody save me
Save me…

What am I doing here?

RYAN ADAMS – Dirty Rain

Last time I was here it was raining
It ain’t raining anymore
The streets were drowning
Waters waning
All the ruins washed ashore
Now I’m just looking through the rubble
Trying to find out who we were
Last time I was here it was raining
It ain’t raining anymore

Last time I was here you were waiting
You’re not waiting anymore
The window’s broke and the smoke’s escaping
All the books scattered across the floor
And the churchbells are ringing through the sirens
And your coat was full of bullet holes
Last time I was here you were waiting
You’re ain’t waiting anymore

So may the wind blow
May the moonlight know your name
So let the needle move the record round til the walls cave in
And you and I were out there dancing in the dirty rain

Last time I was here it was raining
Like you ain’t never ever seen it rain
And your eyes were filled with terror
And the smoke from the gasoline
As the stars exploded with gunfire
I saw you smiling just before
Last time I was here you were crying
You’re not crying anymore

So may the wind blow
May the moonlight know your name
So let the needle move the record round til the walls cave in
You and I out there dancing in the dirty rain

Dirty rain
In the dirty rain

RYAN ADAMS – Dear Candy

I was never near
just a shadow on your walls
I was never here at all.

Dear Candy…

I was never yours.
You were never mine.
I was never near at all.

Dear Candy…

This was all a fantasy of yours.
This was just a dream you had
and I was never here.
I was never here.

You were never mine.
I was never yours.

Whoah, Candy.
Oh, Candy.

Do you see me in your dreams?
Do you whisper my name?
Do you hear when my static rings in your ears?
Candy

I was never yours.
You were never mine.
I was never near at all.

Dear Candy…

This was all a fantasy of yours.
This was just a dream you had
and I was never here.
I was never here.
I was never here at all.
Oh, Candy

RYAN ADAMS – Chains Of Love

Walk away slowly
You don’t have to take this
In the spaces in between
Sadness on the faces

I could see the chains of love
The chains
Talking about the chains of love
Can’t take us away

Storms are brewing in your heart
I don’t want to waste it
Better to have tried it all
Least we got to taste it

Locked up in the chains of love
We change
Caught up in the chains of love
Can’t take us away

Clouds moving over the house
I think about those days
Wish I had something to relax my mind
Send me off to heaven I’ve got nothing but time

Lightning in the sky above
Blink and see the traces
And everything you are to me
Is bigger than the spaces

Between us and the chains of love
The chains
Locked up in the chains of love
They can’t take us away
Can’t take us away
Can’t take us away
Can’t take us away

RYAN ADAMS – Breakdown Into The Resolve

Hi, hello, its me again, don’t worry ill talk slow
Wow, you probably heard I went away
Where do we start from?
I know
From the breakdown, into the fold
The breakdown, another black hole
Like a shadow in the light, stand up and be counted
I was born to be betrayed, it’s clear that I’m clearly afraid of
So its one for every year
Its pitiful what I hold dear, I throw away
And so, it still comes and goes
It’s better now, that I get these bad ideas, I get my dreams confused….wishes
bad ideas, bad ideas to lie me down and get into the resolve
I forgot, how long it was since I had a thought that wasn’t
Dark yet I know I hate myself a lot
The breakdown into the fold
Breakdown, another black hole
Like a shadow in the night
The shows over shows over
I was born to be afraid, alright
And so, its one for every year its pitiful what I hold dear, I throw away
No, it still comes and goes
It’s better but I get these bad ideas
I get my dreams confused with my wishes
Bad ideas
Bad ideas
To lie me down and get into the resolve
Do the resolve, do the resolve
Do the resolve, do the resolve
Do the resolve, do the resolve

RYAN ADAMS – Ashes & Fire

As he stared past the fire,
His hunger to leave well it gnawed his poor heart alive,
Her skin smelled like black cherry, blossom perfume,
the sail boats they all sailed by… and a river she cried.

And the wind was suddenly sweeter than Roosevelt pine,
The windows broke out and the cigarette smoke was drifting by,
The bums on the bowery were swallowed in the lights as cars rumbled by in the night…
screaming run for your life.

With cool and silvery eyes and a heart that was fit for desire,
drowned in a river of tears oh a river she cried left her with a heart… made of ashes and fire.

One day there was a silence and it washed through the town,
and there was no reason to speak so no one made a sound,
her eyes were indigo and the cats were all
Calico and the sail boats they all sailed by… and a river she cried.

With cool and silvery eyes and a heart that was fit for desire,
drowned in a river of tears oh a river she cried left her with a heart… made of ashes and fire.

Ashes and fire, Ashes and fire, Ashes and fire.

RYAN ADAMS – Do I Wait

Do I want to say the things that I say
When I know that they are wrong?
Do I wait here forever for you?
Could you ask me to?

I’ve been waiting here all night
If you’re not going to show
We’re not going to fight
I could stay forever if I tried
Surrounded by things
Like a shadow in the light

Do I try and stay still for you?
And the clouds will part here
An emptiness of the room
Do you watch me from the corner of your eye?
Do we say goodbye?

I waited in the wings for you to appear
But you’re never coming back
And we’re never going to feel
Like we did
I waited all night
I tried to let you go
Like a shadow in the light
The light

Do I wait?
Do I wait for you?
Do I wait?
Do I wait for you?

Do I wait here forever for you?
Did you ask me to?
