Lover On The Run  

Beth Wimmer  c2011

The temperature is dropping, it's getting cold

I can see your breath in here against the night

I think my heart is stopping, words frozen in my soul

Now i hear the reasons why you say we have to hide

I dove into this hole with you my heart above my head..

possessed in our exuberance, you said

But it can't be too late, to change our fate

We gotta make this right or else our Love could end up dead

Chorus...  

Do you really think that we should disappear

 Baby don't go sayin' things you think sound good to hear

 We got to be real, we can't be hiding from the sun

 but I'm gonna stay with you no matter what you've done

 I'm with you....my Lover on the run

They're not gonna understand you killed the man for good

if you don't turn yourself in, Babe i think you should

I know a decent law man down on Gallahad

he can explain he had it comin', he was bad 

tell everyone it was self defense, you laid the devil dead

just when he was gonna put a bullet in your head

I know you're a good man, I believe in you

even fully knowing what you're capable to do...

Chorus~

Do you really think that we should disappear

Baby don't go sayin' things you think sound good to hear

We got to be real, we want our places in the sun

but I'm gonna stay with you no matter what you've done

I'm with you....my Lover on the run

SweetTragedy

BethWimmer c2011

Fantasies in your head, liquid courage   

Painting the night with vivid image

Come to my door your words of Passion

Down on the floor next day you're crashing

Every time you tell me you're coming 

the road looks fine your engine's running

Coming my way like a train full of candy 

broken down the next day your world is ending

Chorus 

My bittersweet sweet poetry man, sweet tragedy

sweet dirty bundle of nerves, sweet tragedy

You let people down & call it their drama

lie to yourself whenever you wanna

Call me up drunk, tell me you Love me... 

next day you're talking like you don't know me                                                      

Spontaneous man lives life in the moment, spontaneous man can't stay in the moment

Chorus

My bittersweet sweet poetry man, sweet tragedy

sweet dirty bundle of nerves, sweet tragedy

Bridge...        

He would do well to live all his life with me

and i would live in hell tryin' to help him to be happy

Your face in the dirt, officer's boot print

you're swearing to God you'll alter your blueprint

you're walking disaster, you tell me you know it

so you finally ask me to help you not blow it

I really love you my sweet, sweet poetry man, sweet tragedy

sweet dirty bundle of nerves, sweet tragedy

My bittersweet sweet poetry man, sweet tragedy

sweet dirty bundle of nerves, sweet tragedy...

Bring You Back         

Beth Wimmer c2011

i sleep in the shirt you wore on your back, but it don't bring you back, don't bring you back

i bring cake to your uncle and your pa, but you don't stop around you don't even call

i left a note of love on your door, but later i saw it crushed on the floor

i sleep in the shirt you wore on your back, but it don't bring you back, don't bring you back

CHORUS...

This town is grey without you   nobody here is laughing

everybody talks about you... say are you comin' back...

i wish i could make you answer my call,  do you know where you are, have you have a bad fall

i don't know if you're dead or alive, but if you were alive i would feel it inside

i took the dog out looking for you...   we came back home with only a shoe

i sleep in the shirt you wore on your back, but it don't bring you back, don't bring you back

CHORUS...

This town is grey without you   nobody here is laughing

everybody talks about you... say are you comin' back...

This town is grey with worry   nobody here is laughing

they tell me they're so sorry... and are you comin' back...

Bridge:

can you feel me pray and grieve? were you so unhappy you had to leave?

i wish you trusted me with your fear. you could have stayed not disappeared

CHORUS and...

(bckng vox)

baby where you gone to wanna bring you back now

baby where you gone to come on home

Blame Yourself

beth wimmer c2011

We all loved him, we could all have warned him

You can't blame yourself

You can't blame yourself

I saw it coming that he could not take the storm

You can't blame yourself

You always tried your best, it wasn't you who failed this test

You can't blame yourself

You have the sweetest sensitivity

and i'm praying for your clarity

don't shoulder the responsibility, please...

There were words unspoken, you think they would have changed things

You can't blame yourself

His heart was already broken, you just can't know what life will bring

Please don't blame yourself

You can't blame yourself

the sadness and the beauty lie in Love lost that has changed our lives

please don't blame yourself

Well i love your sensitivity

and i'm praying for your clarity

don't shoulder the responsibility, please...

Beautiful Friends

Beth Wimmer c2011  

you have such beautiful friends since i left you

i thought i'd be the one who would get you

to be my only one but i let you

drink the love well dry

you said you've been lonely and cry, and...

you never had lovin' like i can

but you cannot be faithful to one and

fill the love well high

we said we'd be friends so you're calling me every day 

with your latest news

it's hard to hear all that you say, i'm not over you....   ooooh  oooh...

SOLO...

we said we'd be friends so you're calling me every day 

with your excellent news

what do you want me to say, i'm happy for you....   ooooh  oooh...

your new beautiful friends will help you

feel ok in your hell and propel you

for a spell but you still are compelled to

drink the love well dry

Easier Life

Beth Wimmer  c2011

The more miles I put behind me   The less I recall his face

I got your magic love beside me   I’m being kissed in every place 

Chorus...

Along this road to the easier life

Along this road to the easier life

I can’t believe it’s true  Every path that I’ve been down has led me to you

Driving through his city   His bad ways clouding my mind

But then you turn and call me pretty  And you take me by the hand

Chorus...

Along this road to the easier life

We’re on this road and it's an easier life

Crazy but it’s true  Every block that I been ‘round has led me to you

It’s led me to you

Bridge...

I’m counting my lucky stars that you came into the bar

when I was in your town playing my guitar

Now wherever we go, home is where we are

Funny but it’s true  Every gig I ever done has led me to you

I feel the beauty of this country   Now I’m leaving it behind

As we drive through different counties   Different faces come to mind

but on this road to the easier life

now i know i wanna be a good wife

We're on this road to the easier life

I can’t believe it’s true  Every road that I’ve been down has led me to you

it's led me to you.... it's led me to you... it's led me to you

My Babe 

Beth Wimmer c2011

My man is the perfect combination of high and low

My babe is the sweetest sensation of fast and slow

Every time i fall he raises me up, if i gotta crawl then he stops to wait up

My babe, he's the finest lovin' man i ever had

My babe got the mix just right of boy and man

He don't ever need to fight for me but i know he can

He's the right balance of work and play, he's gotta work a lot but then we get to get away

My babe, he's the finest lovin' man to come my way

Bridge...

You might say that i have said enough, but i say damn i can't believe my luck                         

For years i've been singing through my crying eyes

Now i wanna sing praises for my favorite guy

BRIDGE...

My babe is a sensual potion of earth and clean

Sometimes he can play dirty but he's never mean

He's had his share of pain and joy, his daddy left him when he was just a little boy

My babe, he's the finest lovin' man i ever had

My babe, he's the finest lovin' man to come my way

My babe, he's the finest lovin' man i ever had

  Makin' War

Beth Wimmer     c2011

Boy you left me in a haze 

said you'd be back in 20 days... it's a really beautiful town

but honey without you i don't get around

Chorus:

well you say you don't love your gun... and you say this has to be done

but while you're makin' war my love bleeds on the floor

tell me each night that i better stay... loved me so well, now i need you so                      

this place feels like hell until you come home

Chorus...              

well you say you don't love your gun... and you say this has to be done

but while you're makin' war my love bleeds on the floor

Bridge:

well i feel so cold and tired, everything i do is wrong

yeah without you by my side, babe i just can't seem to be strong

i can't reach you on the phone

i hate sleeping all alone...  all i can think of 24 hours

is making love with you in the shower

Chorus...

bridge...

i can't reach you on the phone

i go drinking all alone... all i can think of 24 hours

is making love with you in the shower

CHORUS... x 2

well you say you don't love your gun

and while you're makin' war my love bleeds on the floor  

Bad Moon Rising  

J.C. Fogerty

I see the bad moon rising

I see trouble on the way

I see earthquakes and lightning

I see bad times today

CHORUS:

Don't go around tonight

Well, it's bound to take your life

There's a bad moon on the rise. 

I hear hurricanes blowing

I know the end is coming soon

I fear rivers over flowing

I hear the voice of rage and ruin

CHORUS...

Hope you got your things together

Hope you are quite prepared to die

Looks like we're in for nasty weather

One eye is taken for an eye

 CHORUS...

Damn Angel

Beth Wimmer c2011

Damn Angel damn you, i could have loved you, can you hear me say

Trusted i trusted, with all that you gave that you would stay

Did you think you would never shake off the cover of black clouds above you

How did you hide the darkness inside from the souls who loved you

Damn Angel damn you, i could have loved you, can you hear me sing

Bless you God bless you, send you on your way and give you wings

Did you think you would never find you a lover and white light within

Here we are many who miss every thread of music in your skin

Did you think of your Papa, alone in his Casa a sonless man

Here we are many who miss every thread of beauty in your skin

Damn Angel damn you, i could have loved you, can you hear me say (can you hear me...)

Trusted i trusted, with all that you gave that you would stay (can you hear me...)

Damn Angel damn you, i could have loved you, can you hear me sing

Bless you God bless you, send you on your way, give you wings

can you hear me, can you hear me, can you hear me?

For The Living

Beth Wimmer c2011

Hard to believe you're getting what you need

when your world is on fire and you can barely breathe

Strange to accept the world is thinking of your best

when you lose your home or when you hurt yourself

Where there is injury the Universe will see... and works divinely

Where there is injury there is an energy that flows to right it

When everything you touch seems to melt and break away

it's time to leap out with your Heart and honey keep your Faith

Life will let you down and there's struggle all around

you can stand for what feels right, or meditate into the night

Love and Compassion are the actions we can practice

patience and forgiveness are the best ways for the Living

Communicate don't isolate, you can shout aloud or pray alone

there's a power in together and a power in your soul

Poetry we'll see when our brothers... and sisters breathe and move in Peace

Imagine all the people Free.........

Love and Compassion are the actions we can practice

patience and forgiveness are the best ways for the Living

(Where there is injury the Universe will see... and works divinely

Where there is injury there is an energy that flows to right it)

Love and Compassion are the actions we can practice

patience and forgiveness are the best ways for the Living

(Where there is injury the Universe will see... and works divinely

Where there is injury there is an energy that flows to right it)
