Texty Dave Gahana k písním na album Soulsavers The Light The Dead See

IN THE MORNING

The leaves are falling
It’s in your nature
I’m counting all the sticks left on the ground
Early this morning
When I tried to wake ya
You wasn’t making any kind of sound

Why can’t you hear me?
Why don't you feel me?
Was there a message
That I’m not getting?
Do you think that I am lost or am I found
Just after midnight
When I woke up sweating
I was dreaming you were right here with me now

No
Why can’t you hear me?
Why don’t you heal me?
I am lost
I am lost here
I’m lost in hell

So I am nothing
If I’m not with you
In the morning we’ll forget this night somehow

PRESENCE OF GOD

I can feel the presence of god
Occupying my intentions
In my soul within my thoughts
And in wasted dreary dimensions

These thoughts torment me
They mold and shape me
There’s a man that I should be
Or someone I could be
Nothing can break me
Nothing that I see
You can’t shake me
You can’t take me
So set me free

I can feel the presence of god
In need of my attention
In this room and in your words
In too many ways to mention

These thoughts torment me
They mold and shape me
There’s a man that I should be
Or someone I could be
Nothing can break me
Nothing that I see
You can’t shake me
You can’t take me
So set me free

I can feel the presence of love
Holding my attention

She torments me
Creates and shapes me
There’s a man that I should be
Or someone I could be
Nothing can break me
Nothing that I see
You can’t shake me
You can’t take me
So set me free

JUST TRY

You came to me with open arms
To take away my fears
I took you in and you stayed awhile
Live with me right here

You told me to believe in something
Something that’s true
Like the mountains and the deep blue oceans
So much bigger than you

He said, just try
Come on, just try
Lord, just try
Just try, just try

I offered you a place to stay
Somewhere to rest your head
Lord knows, I need you here
There was something you said

You’ll have to believe in something
Something bigger than you
Like the great wide open spaces
There’s religions too

He said, just try
Come on, just try
Lord, just try
Just try, just try

It gave me more than I deserve
It gave me peace
It gave me everything I love in this world
And now I have to sleep
Just let me sleep
I have to sleep     

GONE TOO FAR

I watched you rising
I watched you sleep
I knew you would, just like me
Intoxicated
Oh struggling to breathe
I heard you whimpering
In the back room
Gone too far
Too far too soon

I guess it’s your time here
That time for you
When it all comes crashing down on you
Yes, I’ve been praying
Oh, so what else am I supposed to do?
I heard you whispering
In the back room
You’ve gone too far, too far too soon

You made that mistake now
They were coming for you
You’ve gone too far
Too far too soon

Now you feel nothing
Life can be cruel
That night I saw you
You passed by my room
I hope you make peace with the man in the moon (???)

TAKE ME BACK HOME

The first time you gave me freedom
For the first time I felt free
As long as you were right with me here
There’s nothing else that I would need

You take me back there
Take me back home, please
No, I can’t go in there
Just take me back home, home
Is where I wanna be

I was a fool before I met you
Only fools find it hard to believe
You just might be my only savior
If you are, then come and save me
If that’s true, come back and save me

You take me back there
Take me back home, please
No, I can’t go in there
Just take me back home, home
Is where I wanna be

Where all my stumbling misses
And all your wonderful kisses
That’s where I want to be
That’s just me

You take me back there
Take me back home, please
No, I can’t go in there
Just take me back home, home
Is where I wanna be

BITTERMAN

There’s no tomorrow
Only yesterday
I may have drunk too much
Now I’ll have to pay
So how far should I go
Oh that’s hard to say

Wild is the sky
That covers you
Long be the night
That comforts you
Dark is the day confronting you
And pushing you

There’s a face in the mirror
That I don’t understand
See the one that I wear is not who I am
I made up my mind
And I want to stay

Wild is the sky
That covers you
Long be the night
That comforts you
Dark is the day confronting you
And pushing you

You’re such a bitter man
Doing all that you can
In the name of fun
Just a bitter man
Taking all that you can
All for number one

There’s no confusion
Only black
No questions left to ask
Like, am I coming back?
I made up my mind
And I want to stay

You’re such a bitter man
Doing all that you can
In the name of fun
Just a bitter man
Taking all that you can
For the number one

You’re such a bitter man
Doing all that you can
All in the name of fun
Just a bitter man
Taking all that you can
All for number one

I CAN'T STAND

Even as you talk
I can’t understand a word
Lips they keep on moving
Telling tired tales that have all been heard

So many precious days
And all the parts you’ve played
You’ve looked so fine
All those days have gone
You tried to get along
Win (???) a heart not all the time

I can’t stay with you in me anymore
I feel like my time is running out
I know that much for sure

I can’t stay another day in here with you
I feel like my time is running out
I know that much for sure

Spend your days complaining
Doubt puts only in your head
Turning every page in your book of everything
You should have done instead

So many wasted days
And all the parts you’ve played
It’s the same old song
Well I guess it’s up to you
I wonder what you’ll do
Don’t take, don’t take too long

I can’t stay with you in here anymore
I feel like my time is running out
I know that much is true (for sure)

I can’t stay for another day in here with you
I feel like my time is running out
I know that much is true (for sure)

TAKE

Take, take all you can
From the life you’ve been given
And stop making plans
This world is all that you need
You just have to notice
Remember to breathe

There’s a price that you pay
With the games that you play with that devil
And you better be sure when you walk through that door before you meddle
Life is so short and you’re going to get caught being bought
And the choices you make and the demons you wake must be fought

Take, take all you can
From the life you’ve been given
And stop making plans

There’s a price that you pay
With the games you play with that devil
And you better be sure when you walk through that door before you meddle
The life is so short and you’re going to get caught being bought
And the choices you make and the demons you wake must be fought

TONIGHT

When you’re looking for salvation
Better take some time to get your story straight
Are you sure you’re ready for forgiveness
You might have left it kind of late

Tonight
No it’s never too late
Tonight
No it’s never too late

When you’re looking for salvation
In another person’s life
You better get yourself a witness
You might consider a wife
Tonight, tonight

So listen to what I’m saying
Don’t be listening to their fear
You gotta jump into the water sometimes
You gotta risk it all, my dear, my dear

‘Cause I can might be heading for some trouble
You keep listening to their lies
I know you have that nagging sickness sometimes
We can change it all tonight
Tonight, tonight
