Rains Came
S. Lynne
Woke up Ache in my head
Didn’t wake up in my bed
Sleeping in a chair
I’m not even close to
Body rolled up in a ball
Lights turned off in the hall
Hound dog was crying
He’s so worried about me
The Sky opened up real wide
teardrops fell from my eyes
to my surprise
I forgot I was crying
Ain’t no accounting for the weather
but rainstorms make me feel better
the dark side of me
seems to like how it feels when it?s pouring
Stood up wiped at my nose
made some coffee
put on my clothes
raised the curtains, looked
at the wet, soggy window
Shuffled my feet on the floor
stopped, opened the door
Ain’t no bother, wind and the water
are welcome
Then the Rains came
Then the rains came
Then the rains came.

Why Didn’t You Call Me
S. Lynne
Why didn’t you call me
I’ve been sitting here by the phone
Why didn’t you call me
I’ve been pacing all night long
Never heard it ring
sitting here listening
but all I here is a heart that’s missing your lovin’
Why didn’t you call me?
Why didn’t you kiss me
my lips have been doing without
why didn’t you kiss me
that’s part of what lovin’s about
Never had enough
squeezing and holding
but you’re like a drug and baby I’m jonesin’ your lovin’
Why didn’t you call me?
Baby, baby, baby, you know I’m crazy
Baby, baby, baby, my heart is breakin’
pick up the phone, come on home,
I’m tired of living sad and alone
need your lovin’
Why didn’t you call me, oh yeah
Why didn’t you call me
Why didn’t you call me
Aww sitting around
Why didn’t you call me?

Like A Fool
S. Lynne
I never knew. I never do how love controls me.
Seeing you, the first time got a hold of me.
But like a fool, a fool in love
There’s always bliss and happiness
Love is blind but I will see
Like a Fool, Like A Fool
I get confused, don’t know what to do, over you.
I get so used, black and blue, you do too.
But like a fool, a fool in love
There’s always bliss and happiness
Love is blind, but I will see
Like a Fool, Like a Fool.
Like all the other clowns that hide behind their frowns,
Makeup can’t conceal my eyes.
My love for you can’t tell a lie
without you I would die
I’d fall on my knees if you’d stay
But Like A fool
A fool in love
There’s always bliss and happiness
Love is blind, but I will see,
Like a Fool, Like a fool.
Like a fool, Like a fool.

Alibi
S. Lynne
I know that look in you eye
I’ve seen it before
Think I’d be used to it now
But I beg for more
I know you’ve been staying out late
I hear you when you come in
I pretend to be sleeping so we don’t have to act like friends
My nights are not the only, lonely time
Morning’s just me and the birds
I cry, and look out the window.
And I just can’t wait to hear
your Alibi
I know I don’t know her
but I bet she looks good,
Probably got a fancy job
and works in an office like you
And I’m sure she don’t have time to think about
who you’re married to
poor girl, I’m sure it’s hard enough
to concentrate on you
(Chorus)
Starched white shirts, perfect clean house
you never noticed it anyhow
when she gets through dragging you dry
looking for a shoulder, a safe place to cry
well I’m over here baby, look in my eye
Cause this is the last time I’ll listen to your
Alibi
(Chorus)

Something To Be Said (About Airstreams)
S. Lynne
The longer I live the more I’m amazed
How folks get hooked on the latest craze
I want to get away from all the hassles
But I’m a little burned out on castles
Guess it’s that time again
time to be free again.
There’s something to be said about Airstreams
A rolling home made out of silver
There’s something to be said about Airstreams
Aww who’da thought art, was a trailer.
Over the hill, a paper sack
I want me a big ol’ Cadillac
to haul all my demons and dreams and
listen to silence
maybe I’ll stop in Needles
say hello to my people.
(Chorus)
Bridge:
When the sun hits her right,
She’ll blind you with her light
a beacon of royalty, ooooh
Yeah she’s like a Van Gogh
or an old Picasso
oh what a sight to see

Family Tree
S. Lynne
I’m not happy with this conversation
too little righteous indignation
I’m not sure if I’m mad or mean
the tears I cry could mean anything
Just cause you’re kin I let it slide
insults and judgments I’ve been blind
and it hard for you to deal out digs
with a calloused heart your words are quick
I’m sick and tired of throwing stones
cause all that leaves is broken bones
and I won’t shed no blood for you
aww the cuts too deep the bruise too blue
I’ve wasted time and been hand fed
you can’t take back the things you said
too much time has gone and passed
shattered lives and broken glass.
The pain is felt behind my eyes
but you won’t see me through my disguise
can’t change fate cause this is done
aww too late to start the race is run.
Now’s the time to face the facts
this train done slid right off the tracks
regret is sad revenge is sweet
I’m walking on my own two feet.
You could have come along
but you broke my heart
Now’s the time for me to start
living my life without you
being a rock in my shoe.
can’t write the book cause this one’s wrote
time’s a friend and love’s a foe
the future’s mine indeed it’s grand
you ain’t a part of my plan.
When you lay down and think of me
there won’t be much serenity
just know that the aching in your brain
is the sound of your souls grief and pain.
This apple’s done fall off the Family Tree
This apple’s done fall off the Family Tree.

Loser Dreamer
S. Lynne
Loser Dreamer dream on
Loser Dreamer dream on
Can’t be but what you are
got your head up in the stars
Dream on
unraveled by your passion
of your hearts dissatisfaction
Dream on, dream on
Loser Dreamer Dream on
Loser Dreamer dream on
If love is what you’re after
then you’re looking at disaster
Dream on
romance ain’t important
leaves him disappointed
dream on dream on
Bridge:
You won’t ever understand
what ebbs and flows inside the man
society’s a stranger in his mind
What he don’t want, he ain’t missing
leaves more time for reminiscing
he don’t have nothing but time
to Dream On.
Loser Dreamer Dream on
Loser dreamer dream on
He’s one inside his thoughts
that’s the company he wants
dream on
He’s a loner not a lover
he don’t need no other
dream on, dream on.
Dream on, Dream on,
Dream on

Old#7
S. Lynne
Are you here, are you gone
was I dreaming, after all
Now tell me, is it too early for drinking?
Was I thinking, was I lying
was I just here, sitting crying
Now I know, you will never go away.
But baby, oh baby
I’m going, yes going crazy
please help me, make it a double
Old #7
Has your new love gone away
did you skip out on the pain?
Were you hungry for the unknown kind of love?
Was it perfect,yes it was.
You just didn’t stay because
You were weary that I might be what you need.
But baby, oh baby
I’m going, yes going crazy
please help me, make it a double
Old #7
Bridge:
Did you happen to forget I would die if you left me
Did you cease to recall any love for me at all?
But baby, oh baby I’m going yes going crazy
Please help me make it a double

Old Dog
S. Lynne
I’m walking around here going crazy
can’t get it right in my mind
There’s a demon within me pulling at me
I wish I could leave the past behind
I drink whiskey and try to forget it
But that’s just makes the pain even more
Maybe if I started out running
I could find what I’m looking for.
They must be out there somewhere
Peace of mind, serenity
Somehow I’m just like an Old Dog
Searching for a porch to lie on
I’m lost and lonely for the answer
to the lies I’ve told to me for so long
I believe that highways hold solutions
that blacktop road can’t be wrong
The bends and curves and unknown courses
see all the signs but never stop
signals show themselves but I ignore then
supposed to be some joy but there’s not
(Chorus)
Confusion leads to aggravation
meanness is making me blind
what bothers me today keeps me wondering
damn this bloody state of mind
Misery is around me
I’m tired but I can’t sit still
Crawling in my skin my body’s aging
I think I hear that dog on the Hill
They must be out there somewhere
peace of mind, serenity
Somehow I’m just like a Old Dog
Searching for a porch to lie on
Somehow I’m just like an Old Dog
Searching for a porch to lie on.

Home Sweet Home
S. Lynne
Airport travel, weather’s fine
even though it’s snowing
take a seat, rest my head
runway lights are showing
Dream a dream, then I see
I know where I’m going
Home
Going home
Home Sweet Home
Sick and tired of hotel rooms
I can’t stand my suitcase
Everybody looks the same
worn out broken faces
I feel like I’m out of place
Although the sun is golden.
Home
Going Home
Home Sweet Home
Bridge:
I know I’ve seen that man before
back and forth to distant shores
daylight starts and night begins
I don’t know what state I’m in.
I hear a voice in my head
must be getting closer
I guess this birds about to land
I left the back gate open.
Home
Home sweet home
Home Sweet Home
