I Know You Know (Debbie Goodman with Dave Schweizer)

restless in the nighttime 
losing sleep and out of bed 
there's no relief for my mind 
I'm waiting here to resurrect 
the last time you drove here 
I had to travel way far out of town 
my portal is unclosed now 
in case you come stopping back around

meet me in My Doorway... 
I'll be facing outside looking for your car 
if you travel my way... 
my house will be open just like my heart...
meet me in My Doorway
ohwoh 

if you're stopping by here 
don't worry if the lights are off  
I'll be watching for you 
shining on your blindest spot 
anytime's a good time 
even in the darkest hours 
you can count on me this time 
and I won't turn off the power

meet me in My Doorway... 
I'll be facing outside looking for your car 
if you travel my way... 
my house will be open just like my heart...
meet me in My Doorway
ohwoh

If I see you stepping my way 
my house will stay unlocked for you
I will never stand in your way
if you decide to walk on through

meet me in My Doorway... 
I'll be facing outside looking for your car 
if you travel my way... 
my house will be open just like my heart...
meet me in My Doorway
ohwoh
meet me in My Doorway
ohwoh

Meet Me In My Doorway

CAN'T GET CLOSE TO YOU 


I wish I could date you 
I wish I had the courage just to ask 
even if I had the nerve to 
well it would be a mountain of a task
when I think about it
I can only doubt it 
by crawlin’ in a ground pit 
I cannot get around this whole damn thing

I’m lookin’ at a rock too tall for me to climb 
or the kind of monster I can't fight 

I can strive I can strive 
but I Can't Get Close To You 
if I try even if I try 
I Can't Get Close To You 

I wish I could convince you
I wish you would try to hear me out 
even if I was to tell you 
well you would only think I talk too loud 
if I ask about it
would you be astounded 
what would it amount to 
would you shut me out to everything

like any bit of hope you'd ever say alright
or if you’d have me on your mind 


out of reach
the distance is too long  
unless you come to town 
and help me bring it on

Can't Get Close To You

Looking innocent 
Dresses in her magic style 
She's the sweetest thing 
To come around in a long long while 
Looking smooth as wool 
Wearing cut-off jeans n' a smile 
Nothing is concealed 
Other than her running wild 

Watch out n' run 
She'll shoot you down without a gun
She's on the hunt 
Unarmed But Dangerous

What would be the harm 
In sharing just a beer or two 
She is such a charm 
Knows the way to enlighten you 
The power of her skills 
Can turn a raincloud into blue 
Brighten up your days 
Until the dark comes shining through 

When her web is spun 
She’ll dig a hole for another one 
Trapping everyone she wants  
Unarmed But Dangerous

She is going after 
Every wild card 
Dealing with disaster 
Aiming at your heart 
Stop n’ look n’ listen
She is on the stalk
When you see her coming
turn away and walk 

Watch out n' run 
She'll shoot you down without a gun 
She's on the hunt 
Unarmed But Dangerous
When her web is spun 
She’ll dig a hole for another one 
Trapping everyone she wants 
Unarmed But Dangerous

Unarmed But Dangerous

I'm walking 
On my own road 
It ain't brick and it ain't gold 
And it leads where I may never know
But I don't worry 
Where I'm going 
Cause I ain't where I ain't sowing 
The seeds of the current crops - I'm growing 

I'm breathing 
Cool air around me
It ain't rich but it ain't thin 
But it is here for me to breathe 
I don't worry 
If I'm standing 
This ain't heaven but I ain't crash landing 
On a bed of nails so I'm just - dandy 

I know where I am 
When I am where I stand 
In The Present Of My Time 
I do what I can 
While I have me the chance 
In The Present Of My Time 

By dancing 
With the moment 
Not tomorrow and not the past 
You can live your dream and make your whole life - happen 
So don't you worry 
Where you step now 
You're ahead of where you been 
When you lived outside of your - own skin

In The Present Of My Time

Where Sparks Won't Take To The Air

A precious metal trophy 
Is ultimate to win 
Would it would feel right to hold it tight 
After giving luck a spin 
I wanted to do something 
I thought that I could prove 
I could be the guy to take the prize 
Never thought that I could lose 

Ok I could not reach the top 
Ok I took what I had got 
It wasn't fame 
But there is No Shame 
Ringing in second  
There is No Shame in the game 

A consolation prize 
Is second not to none 
I vied for gold but lost my roll 
And wound up being outdone 
‘Cause honor don’t live in bullions 
Of 24 karat dust 
A respectful name comes if you play 
By validating trust 

Next time I'm on the field 
I won't be playing so hard 
I'll take the time wait at the line 
Before running the extra yard

No Shame

You know The Cookie’s Gonna Crumble 
Yeah The Cookie’s Gonna Crumble 

You got taste for someone sweet and fine 
Make a play step on in now’s the time  
She ain’t gonna wait for long 
Reach on in before she’s gone 
Grab your share of the cookie while you can 
Don’t be scared you better use both hands 
Get any fragment big or small 
Before the pieces start to fall 

You know The Cookie’s Gonna Crumble 
You know the curtain’s gonna close 
But when all the tables tumble 
You ain’t gonna stumble ‘cause you know 
The Cookie’s Gonna Crumble 

If she shares with you her glass of wine 
She may spare a chunk of sugar pie 
But it’s gonna leave a scar 
When she breaks the jar apart 

You know the Cookie’s Gonna Crumble 
You know the curtain’s gonna close 
But when all the tables tumble 
You ain’t gonna stumble ‘cause you know 
The Cookie’s Gonna Crumble yes it is 

Crumbs break down like grains of sand   
Wash away like wind  
Find more dough mix with sugar   
You will taste the love again  

You know the Cookie’s Gonna Crumble 
You know the curtain’s gonna close 
But when all the tables tumble 
You ain’t gonna stumble ‘cause you know 
You know the Cookie’s Gonna Crumble
Yeah The Cookie’s Gonna Crumble

The Cookie's Gonna Crumble (James Tristan Redding and Dave Schweizer)

verse 1:   
Unused tickets 
Tacked up on the fridge 
Don't want to talk about 
Things I never did

I lay my cards down 
When I get a flush 
And when it comes to you
 I can never get enough

pre-chorus 1:
 Let's blow it all and be reckless
 Let's have a ball just say yes

chorus: 
Oh... once you've tasted
Love like this 
You'll drink a case of it 
Oh… like a day at the races
 or a night in Vegas
Let's get WASTED ON LOVE

verse 2: 
Steal me away 
For a slow dance or two  
Throw a private party  
My partner is you

There's no perfect timing
 It’s never too soon  
Baby 'come midnight
 We’ll be howling at the moon

pre-chorus 2: 
Oh let em say we're senseless 
We're running for the fences

repeat chorus

Wasted On Love (Kathiryn "Kat" Werlin and Dave Schweizer)

verse 1: 
Running late from early
Bolting on adrenaline
You always gotta hurry
Sixteen hours then be rolling again

pre-chorus 1: 
Got no time for nothing
No time to let me in
Can’t spare a measly minute
There's no way that you can begin 
You’re becoming distant

chorus: 
So I left a note by your window
Now I’m traveling on faraway roads 
And I won't be returning home soon 
but - I Ain’t Giving Up On You 

verse 2: 
Riding a thousand miles
Colorado down to Baton Rouge
I’m on the back of a stake-bed
And the weather is a hundred-and-two

pre-chorus 2: 
Trying to earn a living 
Trying to find my way 
Wish I could buy you the present 
That I promised to you back in the day 
I hope you will be waiting for me 

chorus: 
I left that note by your window
That I’m traveling on faraway roads 
And I won't be returning home soon 
but - I Ain’t Giving Up On You 
No-oh-no-oh


pre-chorus 3: 
Got no time for nothing
No time to get back in
Can’t spare a measly minute
There's no way to re-begin
Sorry for the inconvenience 

chorus: 
‘cause I left that note by your window
That I’m traveling on faraway roads 
And I won't be returning home soon 
but - I Ain’t Giving Up On You 
I Ain’t Giving Up On You

Ain't Giving Up On You (Paul Hilton and Dave Schweizer)

Blue is 
The colour that you love 
Blue is 
Your choice selection of 
Dresses, shirts and purses 
Your favourite things to buy 
You love blue 
And I love you 

Blue is 
The colour of your eyes 
Blue is 
The reflection from the sky 
It bounces off your make-up 
Looks great on all your wear 
You love blue 
And I love you 

Blue is 
The hue you don't see on me 
Blue is 
My feeling when you leave 
You step out for the evening 
Hold the hand of another man 
But you love blue 
And I love you 

Blue is 
The colour you love most 
Blue is 
Me feeling like a ghost 
You glance directly through me 
But never see the glow 
You love blue 
And I love you 
You love blue 
And I love you

Blue Love

It is apparent
Some views are transparent
To the outside from within
I see what you’re wearing
Please don’t mind me staring
I’m just trying to read your lips

And I am trying to get a take
On the words that you say

Hearing is hard to do
Through a closed window
The glass between me and you
Is blocking our crossflow
I want to know what you say
But a pane stands in the way
Hearing is hard to do
Through A Closed Window

What are you saying
Should I walk away
Am I where I’m supposed to be
I am frustrated
Standing here waiting
For you to open your door for me

There’s gotta be a better way
That we can communicate

Hearing is hard to do
Through a closed window
The glass between me and you
Is blocking our crossflow
I want to know what you say
But a pane stands in the way
Hearing is hard to do
Through A Closed Window

Through A Closed Window

My eyelids rest too heavy on my face 
I’m bumbling and wired, I’m stumbling and tired 
Feeling like I'm falling out of place 
Down into a mire, my status is dire 

Been working hard forever just to get the job done 
I should have now been finished by a quarter past one 
A brick crushed down to pieces, gotta build it again 
Keeps breaking back to rubble, it’s becomming 
the trend 

I'm playing moon-up, showdown 
Silhouette, edge of town 
Doubting I could rise to something higher 
Scraping dirt and Pushing An All Nighter 

I can't stop working 'til I reach my goal 
Do you get, the meaning, 'bout where this, is leaning 
Tomorrow should be different, but I know 
That can be misleading, so don't you believe it 

The earth revolves faster than a 500 race 
But my wheels keep on turning at a much slower pace 
My alarm is now glowing so I cannot lay down 
If I could be resting I'd sleep right through the sound ... 
So hence 

I'm playing moon-up, showdown 
Silhouette, edge of town 
Doubting I could rise to something higher 
Scraping dirt and Pushing An All Nighter 


I know you've been thinking I am running around 
If you give me 'til the morning I can show you my ground 
This project seems endless and I hope we're not through 
When I finally get through this I will get back to you  
'til then  

I'm playing moon-up, showdown 
Silhouette, edge of town 
Moon-up, sundown 
Silhouette, edge of town 
You are still the core of my desire 
Next time we'll be Pushing An All Nighter 
Together we'll be Pushing An All Nighter
