Ruby got her name
From a bar in town
Called the Ragtime Saloon
She got a job
As a dancer there
Doing shows in the smoky room
the outlaw
In town for the night
Saw ruby do her dance
Ruby winked at the outlaw
They fell in love through the glance
Ragtime Ruby and the outlaw
Through untouched canyons
Unexplored lands
And warrants for their arrest
Ragtime Ruby and the outlaw
Rarely stopped for rest
They were headed west to new dkies
New dreams lost them at sea
Ragtime Ruby and the outlaw
Trying to break free

Love Is What I Find
05:19

When you saw me for the first time
It was an empty man – the man you found
Never thought I’d love again
You saw me and you took me in
Made me learn to love
You saw something within me
Something I couldn’t see
Chorus
Now
When I look at you
Love is what I find
Love is what you have
For me
When I feel alone
Love is what you give
Love is what you’ve shown
And you’ve shown me how to love
With your love
You were kind when I had less
Less than I have now – inside
I am blessed
You’re the only one
To love me at my worst
And make me ant to try
Try to do my best
(Chorus)
Now
When I look at you
Love is what I find
Love is what you have
For me
When I feel alone
Love is what you give
Love is what you’ve shown
And you’ve shown me how to love
With your love
Bridge:
Know today
Should I lose my soul
It was you
That made me whole
It was you
Who loved me more than I
Loved myself
Oh why
Why must you
Live in so much pain
All the tears in vain
I cry
Pray away the pain
Somehow I’m to blame
Somehow
You saved me to gain
Nothing but my love
And love forever I
Will
Love
You
Now
When I look at you
Love is what I find
Love is what you have
For me
When I feel alone
Love is what you give
Love is what you’ve shown
And you’ve shown me how to love
With your love
And Now
When I look at you
Love is what I feel
Love is in my heart
For you
And I know
All you want for me
Is a peaceful place
Where we can be
The family that I’ve searched for in my songsAnd run from all my life
Until I took you for my wife

Break The Hold

Break The Hold
You break the hold you break the chains
Unfold the curtains from our eyes
To let some new light fill the darkness
That has grown for us inside
I'll take the reins upon this horse
And saddle up to move along
Upon the land where yet no man has walked
No car has rolled upon
Chorus
It was yesterday I heard her say she cared
But when I turned around to look she wasn't there she wasn't there
Hiding away day after day
Thinking that love kept us alive
We lived together looking for some truth
Between each other's lies
I'll take the blame you win the game
And claim your freedom as the prize
Who am I to try to stop you
From telling me goodbye?
Chorus
Waiting for someone to sympathize with
All that two go through
Show me things I need to change show me things I thought I knew
Chorus
You break the hold you break the chains
Unfold the curtains from our eyes
I'll learn to live for every moment
Where some hope remains alive
Across the valley of our differences
You and I shall stand
Maybe someday we'll be back this way
To share our lives again

Colors In My Mind
03:01

Colors in my mind
Keep on fading
As my back remains against the wall
Church bell ring
I hear them saying
What's right for one
Is right for all
I'm just a customer
In a world of dreams for sale
The dreamers who sell themselves
Are usually the ones who fail
The colors change
With the many seasons
Lost in me
Sometimes their images
Are very hard to see
Today I am fine
But tomorrow I may be gone
As the colors in my mind continue
On their journey to belong

In The Morning
In the morning
The lights shut down
Beggars crawl from holes into the streets
Worried lovers
Wave goodbye
And wonder when again they'll meet
I'm no fortune teller
I know some stories
When the sun sets down
I ramble on and on
Like some old friends
Who fall in love a lot
And face the sunrise when they know the love is gone
In the morning when it's gone
I built some towers
But burnt some bridges
I thought of shooting
Every man you ever had
And when I dream hard
Pictures fill my mind
But I thank God they're not that bad
Ugly ladies
With lovely lashes
Beat they're eyes against the night
In search of someone
To change they're names again
Or lead some life into they're lives
But for every life
There's a million graves
On every ocean there's a million waves
I never wanted to be your last love
Just another love along the way
All I wanted to be was another love along the way

Without The Words

WITHOUT THE WORDS
Be as it may
Be as it does
Finding time
To justify love
Grasses so green
Skies so blue
Wondering now
How I found you
Life out of reach
The one that we saw
Hidden in dreams
Where waters fall
Passage of time
Comes as it goes
See Saw of plenty
Sliding down rows
Tinkering now
With the cow bell we draw
Closer to magic
Memories call
Days out of reason
Mind out of whack
Where envy of others
Fall on your back
Disco of diamonds
Blanket of rhyme
May help me out
Of heaven this time
For all my sins
Are written in song
My life begins
Where my voice has gone
Friends will come back
When they arrive
Tell them my brother
Was on my side
Back when the game
Was once in my hand
Work left behind
Where I now stand
Teachers of old
Said not to look back
Yet to be born
Those who must act
They then may look
Back if they will
Take what they find
To heart be they still
Your father’s houses
Built on your bones
Cats in the cradle
Need not be alone
Wars have been fought
But the biggest crime
Was not being there
Was not having time
Pieces of riddles
Bat-women and birds
Songs of Bob Dylan
Without the words
This is the state
Of the powers that be
This land is yours
From sea to sea
