Remains of the Day
By David Snyder

V1

It remains to be seen
If you and I will be alive
this time and place in another year
So we're just living for today
Cause we don't see another way
To overcome a world that’s based in fear

PC

But we will not
Surrender yet and
We will not
Soon forget
All the dreams we had
Along the way
And we will not accept these chains
When we dream of hope
Through window panes
At the remains 
The remains of the day

CH

So bang the drum and sing it loud
Raise the torch in the crowd
And if you can, then lead the way
Yeah bang the drum in the setting sun
They must remember what we've done
As we save whatever's left of this for us
In the remains of the day

V2

It remains to be seen
If you and I will still survive
but hey we know we're not the only ones
wise women say believe your eyes
truth is what you recognize
and I'd rather stay and fight than I would run

PC

So we will not
Surrender yet and
We will not
Soon forget
All the dreams we had
Along the way
And we will not accept these chains
When we dream of hope
Through window panes
At the remains 
The remains of the day

Remains Of The Day

MY HOME TOWN

Performed by Jeff Newton



V1

Nothing ever seems to change 
every day is just the same
they roll the sidewalks up, when the sun goes down
Barber shop and a liquor store 
my best friend lives right next door
Ain't nothing but a one lane crossroads town

Pre CH

It's my home town....and I plan to stay around   

CH

We got girls with smiles that will break your heart
Secret kisses after dark
People who spent their lives on solid ground
We've got steeples that reach towards the sky
Hearts that never learned to lie
Friends that will never ever leave your side
And it's only two miles wide
But it's my home town

V2

It's where I'm from, where I was raised 
those red dirt roads through the summer haze  
We have fields of green and clear blue skies  
whippoorwill as the sun goes down
friends and family gather round
yeah grab the guitar 
and lay it down

Pre-CH

It's my home town
and I plan to stay around

CH
  
We got girls with smiles that will break your heart
Secret kisses after dark
People who spent their lives on solid ground
We've got steeples that reach towards the sky
Hearts that never learned to lie
Friends that will never ever leave your side
And it's only two miles wide yeah it's my home town

Tag:

Friends that will never ever leave your side
And it's only two miles wide yeah 

it's my home town
   
It's my home town

(v1)
Burned by love some time ago
It’s hard to let my feelings show
Scars remain from that hurting time
My heart’s afraid to cross the line
But somehow you’ve broken through
Fixed my heart as good as new
But there’s still one thing you need to know

CHORUS
If I fall in love with you and offer you my heart
I hope you always, always will remember
It’s more than just I love you
It’s everything I am, it’s complete surrender

(v2)
A simple lesson I have learned
A partial love gets no return
Give you’re all where love’s concerned
Any less is a heartache earned
Half a love can’t be redeemed
There can be no in between
If I fall in love it’s everything

Complete Surrender
