We'll Meet Again

Years ago, we roamed these roads
Alone, you showed me places
Fools of flight and shadows in the night
Took us away,
So I followed you down
Not a sound of danger, though you were a stranger
And you changed, my love, for whom you chose
You changed, my love, for whom you chose
We'll meet again in skies above
And all my friends will keep this heart of mine
Before we begin, give in, count your blessings and your sins

What do you know?
The snow came early on me
And as cold as you know it may be
Can't help but wonder longer
I'll never be a lover
Tear me apart like others
But as old as I know I may be
There is no way to save me
Shadows are turning to curse me
They know what I did wasn't worth it
They'll always say I deserve this
Deeper and deeper it hurts me
What more can you need from me?
I've laid my cards down on the table
So lend me your hand and we'll pray
For those of you willing and able
Shadows are turning to curse me
They know what I did wasn't worth it
They'll always say I deserve this
Deeper and deeper it hurts me

Ones for the day your father left
Ones for friends I should have kept
Ones for the night long, ones for the way home
Ones for the way you look at me
Ones for the years you'd wait
One for the one you'll let alone
Ones for the words you'll leave at home
Ones for the night long, ones for the way home
Ones for the ways that we may stray
Ones for the light of day
Its only a case of saying you'll stay
Its only a case of making my day
And its not much to ask, its not much ask
Its only a case of claiming your prize
Its only a case of changing these skies
Its not much to ask, its not much to ask
Well I knew you'd make it all the way home
I knew you'd make it all the way home
Its only a case of saying you'll stay
Its only a case of making my day
And its not much to ask, its not much ask
Its only a case of claiming your prize
Its only a case of changing these skies
Its not much to ask, its not much to ask

Sleeper Train

For answers, for hope, I loosen the rope
Through cannons and guns, for mothers and sons
I put you on the sleeper train
Though I couldn't help but feel a sudden shame
I hadn't held you closer
Caught you again, longing for fortune and fame
Well, what is a man that can't hold a word to his name?
The road is calling you, I see in your face
Now they tell me heaven gave you its grace
And you must give your love away!
Give it to a poorer man, who suffers and stands
He's nothing to give in return, you've so much to learn
So you'll take part of me before you rest
Though kings have ruled a kingdom for less
For answers, for hope, I loosen the rope
Through cannons and guns, for mothers and sons
I put you on the sleeper train
Though I couldn't help but feel a sudden shame
I hadn't held you closer
