Unrequited 04:05
lyrics
buy track
I’m in my car in front of your house Waiting for the rest of my life I know you’re there but you won’t show yourself to me It’s funny, how? Can’t see the humour All your friends must just assume that I can’t see The way that they all laugh at me CHORUS ‘Cause this case of love is unrequited A word from you could well ignite it There’s no place else that I should be So come on let me in Well you made me promise not to phone you So how’m I s’posed to get to know you If every time you see me you just turn away I’d take the hint and I’d go quietly but I think you would really like me If you could give me just one chance I know we’d get along CHORUS ‘Cause this case of love is unrequited A word from you could well ignite it There’s no place I’d rather be So come on let me in Well perhaps I’m just a love-sick teen Or I’m thirty-five with broken dreams Or I’m fifty-three with a crush on the local beauty queen Well I’m in my car in front of your house Waiting for the rest of my life I know you’re there but you won’t show yourself to me CHORUS ‘Cause this case of love is unrequited A word from you could well ignite it There’s no place left for me to go So come on, come on, come on Let me in, let me in © 2005 Robin Tymm

Wrong Turn 04:20
lyrics
buy track
If I had my time over I would change everything There's so many regrets that I can't forget The sorrow they bring But there's no second chances At least not around here We accept our mistakes and the hearts that we break Are gonna haunt us for years CHORUS It seemed so right at the time but there's no way of knowing There’s no way of knowing Guess I took a wrong turn Yeah, I took a wrong turn Guess I took a wrong turn and just kept on going Just kept on going Would it help if I said I was sorry For all that I've done? Could you show just a little forgiveness And welcome me home? Now I’m waiting for somebody out there To show me a sign And I’ll lie in this bed that I made ‘Til you throw me a line CHORUS It seemed so right at the time but there's no way of knowing There’s no way of knowing Guess I took a wrong turn Yeah, I took a wrong turn Guess I took a wrong turn and just kept on going Just kept on going © 2005 Robin Tymm

Tears On The Table 03:37
lyrics

Her head's in her hands There's tears on the table There's things I should say But I am unable to speak So she just continues to cry We'll sit here for hours It'll seem like forever And try to remember Why we're still together And then we'll call it quits for the night CHORUS If you think that it's over then why don't you say it Let's read the last rites and not try to delay it I'll waste no more time trying to hold up what wants to fall down Just let it fall down to the ground Yeah, we once had it good There can be no denying Then one day it seemed like We both just stopped trying And now it's hard to remember those days So we cling to a hope, to some crazy idea That there's some place for us But it's a long way from here, I know And there's so much that stands in our way CHORUS If you think that it's over then why don't you say it Let's read the last rites and not try to delay it I'll waste no more time trying to hold up what wants to fall down Just let it fall down, won’t you let it fall down Come on let it fall down to the ground © 2002 Robin Tymm

Human Nature 03:44
lyrics
buy track
All day the sun’s been praying For the company of clouds It’s a big, big sky to be up there alone And tomorrow is a new day And it doesn’t hurt to hope That the weather guy on TV will be wrong And the sun says sayonara, and I’m sad to see it go But the cooler moon’s a better friend to me CHORUS This human nature is out of control The seasons have changed And I’m out in the cold You were gonna come with me Now you don’t wanna know Gonna come with me, baby So come with me, baby, don’t go Tonight I’m switched off, shut down Feeling like I haven’t got a friend It’s a big, big world to be down here alone And if for now I've stopped believing that a broken heart can mend Well I know that I won't feel like this for long And the sun says sayonara, and I’m sad to see it go But the cooler moon’s a better friend to me CHORUS This human nature is out of control The seasons have changed And I’m out in the cold You were gonna come with me Now you don’t wanna know Gonna come with me, baby So come with me, baby, don’t go © 1997 Robin Tymm

Little Pieces 04:52
lyrics
buy track
I can't bear the thought of you going 'round with another guy Can't bear the kisses and the looks of love into each other's eyes I can't bear to watch you anymore but somehow you are everywhere that I go And I can't bear the thought of what goes on when I'm not there, but I know So what's he got to make you wanna spend your time with this other guy Does he promise you the stars when all that I can really offer is a clear blue sky Perhaps you shouldn't be surprised, you never really knew that much of me Perhaps you should have changed the locks Or asked me to return your front door key I found my letters and took back my photographs And years from now I'll probably lie about it when you ask But I couldn't bear to let you keep a little piece of me When I’ve had to lose every little piece of you And I find it hard to keep all this inside Yeah, it breaks my heart each time I see you smile I can feel it in this room, I can feel it everywhere that I go I can smell your sweet perfume that hangs to tempt me in the air But I know you know I found my letters and took back my photographs And years from now I'll probably lie about it when you ask But I couldn't bear to let you keep a little piece of me When I’ve had to lose When I’ve had to lose every little piece of you © 1988/2005 Robin Tymm

Magenta Boulevard 03:35
lyrics
buy track
We stayed down in a cheap room On Magenta Boulevard Me and John drank whiskey And we talked about guitars We sat above the street And watched the women and the cars We spent our time on Magenta Boulevard Pretending we were rock stars Was a game we’d always play “We’re here to make an album” If someone asked, that’s what we’d say There’s a party in our hotel room And a world tour starting someday soon We sure hope you’ll all turn out when we pass through BRIDGE They didn’t seem to like having us around ‘Cause we drank too much and we sang too loud Always sometimes, rarely never Something funny happens when we get together INSTRUMENTAL Now I don’t see John much these days Guess that’s the way things are He’s somewhere north, I’m somewhere south ‘Though it’s really not that far He's at the other end of my telephone I can call him up when I get back home And we can meet down on Magenta Meet down on Magenta Meet down on Magenta Boulevard © 1988 Robin Tymm

Loser 03:28
lyrics
buy track
I bet my heart on a game of love And I came out the loser again I can’t be sure, I think she’d played before So it was only a question of when She’d have me down on the floor Bleeding and begging for more And all that’s left is the price of a taxi-cab home I bet my heart on a game of love ‘Cause it seemed like the smart thing to do They say that lies are betrayed by the eyes So from the very beginning she knew She’d have me down on my knees So desperate, so eager to please Now I’ve done my time and I need just a little release Yeah, I need just a little release I bet my heart on a game of love And I came out the loser again Why’d I bet my heart when I knew from the start Exactly the way it would end? Now I’ve lost everything You can’t beat it the house always wins If you want my advice You should give up before you begin Or you’ll end up a loser again © 2003 Robin Tymm

A Little Rain 03:34

I am lost, I am alone This place I live don’t feel like home I’m walking through the busy streets of this town And it feels like I’m the only one around CHORUS I guess a little rain must fall on me I guess a little rain must fall on me I guess a little rain must fall on me And it falls on me But it’s just a little rain I might have said some foolish things That might have left you wondering If I would stop you if you started to leave And with one small step you brought me to my knees CHORUS I guess a little rain must fall on me I guess a little rain must fall on me I guess a little rain must fall on me And it falls on me But it’s just a little rain Yeah, it’s just a little rain © 1996 Robin Tymm

Blue Sky 05:32

There’s a blue sky, I can see it through my window There’s a warm sun, I can feel it on my face There’s a cool breeze high up in the tree-tops You and your black cloud don't belong here in this place There’s a palm tree, there’s a jug of margarita Pacific Ocean lapping gently at my feet It’s been so long since I felt this close to heaven 'Til you and your black cloud cast your shadow over me CHORUS You can always find a way to bring me down So I think its best that you don't come around Yeah, you chased the sunshine far away And it won't come back, baby, if you stay So the time has come for me to say.....just go There was a blue sky, I could see it through my window And as for the warm sun, no longer feel it on my face Now there's a cold, cold wind blowing through my lonely heart tonight It’s you and your black cloud and there's no There’s no silver lining inside CHORUS You can always find a way to bring me down So I think its best that you don't come around You can always find a way to bring me down So I think its best that you don't come around © 2000 Robin Tymm

The Best I Can Do 04:00

For three days and nights I’ve been stuck in this room I started to pray inspiration comes soon I’ve been trying to write but the words just won’t come Lord, I’d kill just to finish this song CHORUS There’s not much of a tune and the harmony sucks And my voice sounds like shit and the words don’t mean much But I wrote it all down and I sang it for you I believe it’s the best I can do You’d think there’d be someplace that I’d rather be And you’d hope there’d be someone who’s waiting for me I do what I can but I can’t say how long It might take me to finish this song CHORUS There’s not much of a tune and the harmony sucks And my voice sounds like shit and the words don’t mean much But I wrote it all down and I sang it for you I believe it’s the best I can do I’ve been trying to write but the words come out wrong Lord, I’d kill just to finish this song CHORUS There’s not much of a tune and the harmony sucks And my voice sounds like shit and the words don’t mean much But I wrote it all down and I sang it for you I believe it’s the best I can do © 2002 Robin Tymm
