Flash in the pan of love

[Nicholas]

He met a girl on the beach in his Chevrolet, a girl that he loved that he gave away. She said, go boy go, will this make you stay? He said thanks a lot, he said not today. She tried so hard, she tried so long, that she lost her sense of right and wrong. He said he heard a word coming from above. He said the closest thing to death is love.

Hold on, no, don't let go, I want to hold you tonight and never let you go. Hold on, no, don't let go, I want to hold you tonight and never let you go.

When you wait too long and you find out that what you had was free, and the tears you fought were telling you just what you really need.

He had to sing a song so he left that land. He never said goodbye, he never held her hand. He was home in a year a broken man. Couldn't find the girl who would love him again. Now the only girls that will hold him again are his mother and his sister Ann. And he drives around in the Chevrolet, and he sits in the back and he cries everyday... In the car that he let the girl get away.

Hold on, no, don't let go, I want to hold you for life and never let you go. Hold on, no, don't let go, I want to hold you for life and never let you... let you... let you... let you... Go.

Does Your Harbor Light Still Shine?

I'm drifting out at sea, Captain Misery. Will I make it through the night? I see no land in sight.

The water tastes like salt. These clouds are not my fault. And the lighthouse fades to grey. But I'm nowhere near the bay. Give me one more day. All I do is wait

You gotta find me in this ocean of people on the shore. Tell me all the answers - what are you looking for? Tell me my dear brother, why do you feel unkind? Tell me little sister, does your harbor light still shine?

I'm floating out at sea. No one here but me, and I made it through the night, but I see no end in sight.

The rain it smells like fish. Give me one more wish. Mr. Lighthouse fades to grey, but I'm nowhere near the day. I stop looking for the bay. All I do is pray. Give me one more day

You gotta find me in this ocean of people on the shore. Tell me all the answers - what are you looking for? Tell me my dear brother, why do you feel unkind? Tell me little sister, does your harbor light still shine?

Tonight

I've just begun to understand. I'm twenty-three and in my hand I hold responsibility to my friends and my family. I've just begun to understand, this boy is going to be a man.

This life, you'll see, that nothing's gonna come for free. This life, you'll find, that nothing's gonna change my mind.

Tonight.

I've just begun to know for sure. I'm thirty-three and in my store
I stock the shelves with dignity for myself and my community. I've just begun to know for sure, that girl deserves a whole lot more.

I leave it up to you. I don't know what to do. I leave it in your hands.

I've just begun to understand, I'm forty-three, I own this land.
I share responsibility with my wife for our posterity. I've just begun to understand, what it means to be a working man.

This life, you'll see, that nothing's gonna come for free. This life, you'll find, just looking for some peace of mind.

Tonight.
