When I Fell
C F
I was thinking bout the time I had
C F
Went down so well, woke up so sad
C F
In the morning the birds would sing
C F
I’d be out so cold I never heard a thing
C F Am C
Driving home on the wrong side of the road
F C G
Looks like the moon is sinking
F C G
There must be someone else up drinking
F C G F C F Am F
I wish I knew what I was thinking when I fell in love
C F
All the times I had to learn
C F
Which house was yours which way to turn
C F
And which bed in the house was yours
C F
Walking in wrong rooms Knocking on wrong doors
C F Am C
Waking up wondering where I am
F C G
She went to work – left me alone
F C G
I’d of stayed if I’d a known
F C G D (yes D!)
Note said I should make myself at home
F C G F
I wish I knew what I was thinking when I fell in love
C F
I remember the time I had
C F
Wasn’t all that good, wasn’t all that bad
C F
Borrowed bedrooms borrowed phones
Am Am addGbass F
Never paid one bill never slept alone
F C G F
I wish I knew what I was thinking when I fell in love

Heaven On Earth
Words and Music by David Shepherd Grossman Ó 2000
Destiny shows her face
And no one can take her place
Her hands are wheels
Her eyes are blind
She has no need no fear
Her heart is a greaseless gear
It wears away
As friends who drift apart
Chorus:
You want to go than you go
You're going to be what you'll be
Gonna take all you give
You're gonna give what you leave
It's a long way up
It's a long way down
To have heaven on earth
You'll have to stay on the ground
Wait for love to ease the hate
Heaven it has no gate
There's no sign
To let you know you're there
Summer comes you’re gone again
I'm sinking down within
My hands are tied
There is no way out
Chorus
Destiny says goodbye
Before you can ask her why
She's gone

Standing on the ground
Looking to the sky you ask yourself
Which way will my soul fly?
Old, old and gray
The people once you thought were right are wrong today
Chorus
Bleeding
In company you keep
Needing
Nothing more than lots of sleep
The dice you roll
The cards you lay
The dice you roll
The cards you play
Standing on the shore
Waiting for your ship to come in
Strange how all true sailors have no home
Manipulate the wind
Righting all your wrongs you come to find
Another ending from where now you must begin
Chorus
Send me back in time
Paint me in a cave
Put me in a world where there's nothing I must save
'cause I won't choose
One to win or and one to lose
I won't choose one to win or and one lose

Kelly
ãDavid Shepherd Grossman
How do you feel today Kelly?
Did the sun set down on you? Only you?
When the old man took you by the hand and made you stand up
Was there something else you wanted?
There’s a light in your eye
There’s a grin on your face
And no one’s telling lies
With any more grace
‘cause it’s all about
Feeling low down
And out
You’re a long way from home
I’m a long way from you
If we had a dream
It didn’t come true
‘cause it’s all about
Feeling low down
And out
How do you feel today Kelly?
Did the sun set down on you? Only you?
When the old man took you by the hand and made you stand up
Was there something else you wanted?

The Seer
Words and Music by David Shepherd Grossman
Brown man on the ground
Limbs flashing all around
Tribe gathers near the sound
To hear the song on the seer
Lighting wings in his screams
Seer man projects his dream
Love it powers everything
>From hope pity to doomsday
Power lines criss across the sky
Phones on people passing by
Deep in space the signal flies
Some they live and others die
Seer man he hears their cry
Needs to share his alibi
Others pass through on the sly
Trying to destroy him
Faith it travels at a speed
Love has power beyond greed
The more you loose the more you need
To keep your faith alive
The walls go up
The walls come down
The walls go up
And the walls come down
Get down on the ground and pray
To the song of the seer
He's bound to raise the dead someday
Raise the dead someday
If you get down on the ground and pray
To the song of the seer
He's bound to raise the dead someday
Raise the dead someday
If you get down

Born in an apartment
Raised up in a house
When I was small I figured that was what life was about
Get yourself a job, a mortgage and a wife
Have a couple kids and you'll be set for life
My brother did
my sister did
my cousin did
But I'm out on the road
Every day and every night
No place I got to go
Laying low living light
Nothing else has worked
Nothing else has felt so right
Caaaarrr Living
To hell with all the rest this license plate is my address
I'll be heading out in the morning
Caarrr Living
Everything's in back - pillow and road map
Ice chest and a spare -
there ain't no room back there
Pulled off at a truck stop along the interstate
Gotta get some gas and crash
Before it gets too late
Gotta get up early gotta job in the next town
I don't need much money just enough to get around
But my brother does
My sister does
My cousin does
But I'm out on the road
Every day and every night
No place I got to go
Laying low living light
Nothing else has worked
Nothing else has felt so right
Caaaarrr Livng
To hell with all the rest this license plate is my address
I'll be heading out in the morning
Caarrr Living
With a lap top and cell phone this ain't no rental- I own
Every town is different
Every town's the same
Dairy Queens and Wall Marts boarded by different names
It used to bring me down
Used to break my heart
Then I realized all I need is
Someplace to park
But I'm out on the road
Every day and every night
No place I got to go
Laying low living light
Nothing else has worked
Nothing else has felt so right
Caaaarrr Living
What street am I on?
It don't matter much
I'm gone
In the morning

Years keep rolling by me
Sometimes you see what you want to see
I had a job and lost it
On a day like any other day it would seem
All the tine I was running round
Felt pretty good like the smell of wood
Burning at a camp fire
All right
Each and every night I’d go out on the town
Throw it all around
Now I’m gonna leave
I want out
Of the money drought
Out of the money drought
I want out
Some folks live how they want to live
Some live to get by
Some folks hold their head to the ground
Some hold their head to the sky
Some will take donations
Some will rob you blind
Some will trade away their souls
Some just trade their time
Now I want to leave
I want out
Of the money drought
When I was young and fancy free all you needed was love
Love and a stereo
That's all you'd ever need and I believe
I believe in the hippy - like I believe
I believe in the government - I believe
I believe in the wars
The wars fought on TV - yes I believe
I believe in the rain dance
Like I believe in the weatherman
I believe that make believe is going to be here after me
So I want to leave
I want out of the money drought
If I stay here long enough
Will things just come to me
I don’t want to have to steal it no more
I don’t want to have to borrow it no more
I don’t want to have to pray for it
Why can’t some things just be they way I want them to be
Money can’t by happiness
It pays for everything else
You’re never gonna know just who’s it is until you pay for it yourself
I don’t want to sound greedy I’m just tired of being broke
I may not ever afford a home
But I can afford this toke
Lord I’m gonna get high
Higher than the rich man ever can
Higher than the poor man ever can
Higher than most any man
That’ the way its gonna be until I find my way
Find my way out
Of the Money Drought

Baby's In The Basement
Chorus
Baby's in the basement
Working on the car
I'm in the kitchen watching T.V.
Playing this guitar
Full moon on the calendar
Half moon in the sky
Dinner's in the freezer
Couldn't chew it if I tried
Sparkles on the ceiling
Plants in the bath
Got water in the ashtray
And ashes in the glass
Chorus
Someone's coming over
I can't remember who
Got papers on my table
Full of stuff for me to do
Full moon on the calender
Half moon in the sky
Headache on my shoulders
Chaos in my eyes
Chorus

Alone In Love
02:16
|

How many years?
Where does the time go?
I know you loved me the best you could
Some part of me just misunderstood
I've been alone thinking we were in love
The days changed so fast
If I could have just slowed them down some
Know that I loved you the best I could
If I could start over you know that I would
'cause I've been alone thinking we were in love
There's nothing colder
Than knowing his arms are keeping you warm
I won't stay long
I just had to see you again
The judge let me out
But you set me free
'cause I've been alone
I've been alone, been alone, been alone
I've been alone thinking we were in love

There's a broken sign
That marks the city line
Where the black paved road turns to dirt and sand
There's a burning tree
Down by the city green sea
Why they keep it lit I still don't understand
You say you want a destination
Where nothing is what it seems?
City Green
We got gardens
Filled with potted life
Our minds are all we can afford
To sacrifice
Set it all a flame
And see if it feels the same
Coming down
You want a destination
Where nothing is what it seems?
City Green
We got a fast way
For you to slow down
You'll read between the lines
Step beyond the ground
You say you still feel unaware
I guess you never been there
You got burned
You want a destination
Where nothing is what it seems?
City Green

Love Brings Me Down
By David Shepherd Grossman
The years have passed
The time has lapsed
These eyes are not the same
There's a girl I knew
She had a frozen view
When it melted she fell like rain
I got on the phone today and called her up
She pretended she wasn't there
Love Brings Me Down
So I let her go
Thinking I didn't know
How I knew it was her all along
And she laughed out loud hanging up the phone
Life it will go on
We may not ever have meant that much
Still it's nice to say so long
Love Brings Me Down
Everywhere I go it's always one thing or another
They're in love or out
So happy or trying to recover
It's left me empty and stray
And maybe I'm better that way
Love Brings Me Down

Blacked out when the lights shut down
Wished I had some love around
Movies, TV, these I had Stereo tuned in Pen and pad
But its not enough
All the time I keep these things plugged in my mind
What I really need is a way to leave
To leave the world behind
I need some Night Wings
Crossed the street and a girl walked by
She was looking at me looking at her watching the sky
Keeping designated movements timed to her eyes
She was sad but liked the rain
She walked across with her head hung low
Wondering which way to go
Her head moved back from left to right
But her mind was far away in flight Night Wings
Love gets cold when love goes dry
Staring forever in another's eyes
A matter of minutes fades to days
Then weeks to years time moves away
From where you were to where you'll be
That's where we are constantly 365 degrees
Beyond the pull of gravity Night Wings
