I’D LEAVE ME TOO<br />

© <strong>Audrey</strong> <strong>Auld</strong> 1999<br />

So your bags are packed<br />

And by the door<br />

I know after tonight<br />

I won’t see you anymore<br />

We’ve done all the crying<br />

We’ve talked it through<br />

Darling I don’t blame you<br />

Cause I’d leave me too<br />

Don’t think I don’t understand<br />

Just how hard it’s been<br />

If I could I’d leave me too<br />

And start again<br />

So darling you’re the lucky one<br />

And I wish I were you<br />

I won’t stop you when you go<br />

Cause I’d leave me too<br />

But there’s no door that I can slam<br />

No I can’t walk away<br />

I’ve been living with myself<br />

Even I don’t want to stay<br />

So darling you’re the lucky one<br />

And I wish I were you<br />

I won’t stop you when you go<br />

Cause I’d leave me too<br />

No I won’t stop you when you go<br />

Cause I’d leave me too<br />

BLACK CLOUD<br />

© <strong>Audrey</strong> <strong>Auld</strong> 1999 (APRA)<br />

I been feeding the crow of sorrow<br />

He’s been hanging around my door<br />

Pecking at the crumbs of misery<br />

THE FALLEN - LYRICS


Crying out for more<br />

One for sorrow, two for joy<br />

Three for a girl, four for a boy<br />

I been walking old black dog<br />

He’s been nipping around my heels<br />

Chewing on the bones of my soul<br />

Howling out for more<br />

Five for silver, six for gold<br />

Seven for a story that’s never been told<br />

Black cloud<br />

Rain on my parade<br />

Black cloud<br />

Black days<br />

I been dreaming of a long black snake<br />

He’s been chasing me till I wake<br />

Poison deep in my veins<br />

Crawling out my skin<br />

One for sorrow, two for joy<br />

Three for a girl, four for a boy<br />

Five for silver, six for gold<br />

Seven for a story that’s never been told<br />

Black cloud<br />

Rain on my parade<br />

Black cloud<br />

Black days<br />

Black cloud<br />

Rain on my parade<br />

Black cloud<br />

SHOVE IT<br />

© <strong>Audrey</strong> <strong>Auld</strong> 2000 (APRA)<br />

Well you can shove it cause I don’t love it<br />

I’m about to go and get gone<br />

<strong>The</strong> way you’re acting is so distracting<br />

I’m thinking that before too long<br />

I’ll be walking while you’re still talking ‘bout<br />

Everything I’m doing wrong<br />

You can shove it cause I don’t love it<br />

I’m about to go and get gone<br />

Ever since you met me<br />

You were out to get me<br />

And I wasn’t running too fast<br />

I thought “here’s a cutie<br />

A real sweet patootie<br />

This one’s gonna last”<br />

Along comes trouble<br />

You burst my bubble<br />

Now everything is coming apart<br />

THE FALLEN - LYRICS


If you don’t get it<br />

<strong>The</strong>n you’ll regret it<br />

Cause you aint breaking my heart<br />

So you can shove it cause I don’t love it<br />

I’m about to go and get gone<br />

<strong>The</strong> way you’re acting is so distracting<br />

I’m thinking that before too long<br />

I’ll be walking while you’re still talking ‘bout<br />

Everything I’m doing wrong<br />

You can shove it cause I don’t love it<br />

I’m about to go and get gone<br />

Well it aint shakin’<br />

And I aint waiting<br />

For you to wake up and see<br />

What you’re blowing<br />

Cause you aint going<br />

To give your loving heart to me<br />

You’ll be sorry<br />

But I won’t worry<br />

Cause I’m about already gone<br />

I’ll be packing while you’re backtracking<br />

And you’ll be hearing this song<br />

Well you can shove it cause I don’t love it<br />

I’m about to go and get gone<br />

<strong>The</strong> way you’re acting is so distracting<br />

I’m thinking that before too long<br />

I’ll be walking while you’re still talking ‘bout<br />

Everything I’m doing wrong<br />

You can shove it cause I don’t love it<br />

I’m about to go and get gone<br />

TO THE BONE<br />

© <strong>Audrey</strong> <strong>Auld</strong> 2000 (APRA)<br />

Don’t stir the fire of loneliness<br />

Cause I been gone too long<br />

<strong>The</strong> love I feel for you darlin’ goes<br />

Right to the bone<br />

I’d swim the ocean deep and wide<br />

To come to you alone<br />

<strong>The</strong> pain of never seeing you cuts<br />

Right to the bone<br />

When it’s heaven here on earth<br />

And nothing can go wrong<br />

Is when it seems to hurt the most<br />

Right to the bone<br />

If I could fly I’d spread my wings<br />

THE FALLEN - LYRICS


Cause where you are is home<br />

And then you’d know my love for you goes<br />

Right to the bone<br />

So keep a candle burning bright<br />

It’s there that I belong<br />

Remember darling my love for you goes<br />

Right to the bone<br />

Don’t stir the fire of loneliness<br />

Cause I been gone too long<br />

<strong>The</strong> love I feel for you darlin’ goes<br />

Right to the bone<br />

Remember darling my love for you goes<br />

Right to the bone<br />

JELLYROLL<br />

© <strong>Audrey</strong> <strong>Auld</strong> 1999 (APRA)<br />

Well it must be jelly cause jam don’t shake like that<br />

Yeah it must be jelly cause jam don’t shake like that<br />

Love my daddy, baby he’s so fat<br />

Cooking in the kitchen to keep him satisfied<br />

Cooking in the kitchen to keep him satisfied<br />

Loves what I give him<br />

Long as it’s southern fried<br />

He sits on the table, cause he broke the chair<br />

My fat daddy’s gonna shake it everywhere<br />

It must be jelly cause jam don’t shake like that<br />

My big daddy, he’s so big and fat<br />

He’s my fatty, look at that jellyroll<br />

He’s my fatty, look at that jellyroll<br />

<strong>The</strong> more he eats the faster my money goes<br />

He’s built for comfort, not for speed<br />

My fat daddy gives me everything I need<br />

It must be jelly cause jam don’t shake like that<br />

My big daddy, baby he’s so fat<br />

Love my daddy, baby he’s fat<br />

Oh butterball!<br />

WITHOUT YOU<br />

THE FALLEN - LYRICS<br />

When dreams come to haunt me in the middle of the night<br />

I reach for you cause I need to hold you tight<br />

It’s then that I remember why the dreams come<br />

<strong>The</strong>y’re the only part of you<br />

Still holding on


Still holding on<br />

To your memory<br />

Still holding on<br />

To what’s left of me<br />

Lonely and forsaken, nothing means a thing<br />

Waiting in the emptiness for the phone to ring<br />

While my heart is sinking like the evening sun<br />

Your memory’s the only thing<br />

Still holding on<br />

Still holding on<br />

To what might have been<br />

Still holding on<br />

To what’s left of me<br />

I don’t have a future living in the past<br />

All the love you promised didn’t last<br />

I watched without speaking your love slip away<br />

<strong>The</strong>re’s nothing left to cling to<br />

But yesterday<br />

Still holding on<br />

To your memory<br />

Still holding on<br />

To what’s left of me<br />

Still holding on<br />

Still holding on<br />

I know you’re gone<br />

But I’m still holding on<br />

Although you’re gone<br />

I’m still holding on<br />

TOO FAR TO FALL<br />

© <strong>Audrey</strong> <strong>Auld</strong> 1998 (APRA)<br />

Don’t tell me to smile<br />

I’m doing fine<br />

My heart’s been broken<br />

Too many times<br />

And don’t ask my number<br />

It’s best not to call<br />

If you pick me up I’ll have<br />

Too far to fall<br />

Once I was happy<br />

But that was back when<br />

I believed in forever<br />

But I won’t again<br />

Now I’m used to sorrow<br />

I don’t mind at all<br />

When I go to pieces it’s not<br />

THE FALLEN - LYRICS


Too far to fall<br />

Down on the bottom<br />

It’s where I belong<br />

I won’t have to go far<br />

When love goes wrong<br />

So don’t try to cheer me<br />

Or make me feel glad<br />

I’m happy when I’m<br />

Lonely and sad<br />

You’ll go just like<br />

<strong>The</strong> others before<br />

When you let me down it’s not<br />

Too far to fall<br />

So just leave me down, it’s not<br />

Too far to fall<br />

MISSING YOU<br />

© <strong>Audrey</strong> <strong>Auld</strong> 1998 (APRA)<br />

Train whistle moans in the distance<br />

Birds cry out across the bay<br />

<strong>The</strong> night hangs heavy without ending<br />

Filled with the ghost of where you lay<br />

<strong>The</strong> house stands quiet as a tombstone<br />

Rain falls steady like my tears<br />

Somewhere out there you’re leaving<br />

<strong>The</strong> echo of goodbye is all I hear<br />

<strong>The</strong>n I get to missing you<br />

And wishing you were here<br />

Longing for the tenderness<br />

I felt when you were near<br />

<strong>The</strong>n I get to crying<br />

Crying all night long<br />

<strong>The</strong>n I get to missing you<br />

But you’re so far gone<br />

<strong>The</strong> rain on the water in the morning<br />

It’s winter in my heart and I’m cold<br />

You left a shell and a memory<br />

Took with you your love and my soul<br />

<strong>The</strong>n I get to missing you<br />

And wishing you were here<br />

Longing for the tenderness<br />

I felt when you were near<br />

<strong>The</strong>n I get to crying<br />

Crying all night long<br />

<strong>The</strong>n I get to missing you<br />

But you’re too far-gone<br />

SONG FOR CLAX<br />

© <strong>Audrey</strong> <strong>Auld</strong> 1999 (APRA)<br />

You lived your life<br />

Like a moth around a flame<br />

Taking all the chances<br />

And going back again<br />

<strong>The</strong> flame finally got you<br />

Threw yourself right in<br />

Turned your back on Mother Nature<br />

If music is the food of love<br />

THE FALLEN - LYRICS


<strong>The</strong>n why where you so thin?<br />

Banging on a lonely drum<br />

And hating everything<br />

When in dreams you come to me<br />

With pictures of the future<br />

It’s safe in the arms of Mother Nature<br />

And though I never cried I’m crying now<br />

For all the sadness that you taught me<br />

And though I never sang I’m singing now<br />

With all the wonder that you brought me<br />

<strong>The</strong> very thing that got me through<br />

Is just what did you in<br />

I saw you sleep with open eyes<br />

Way before the end<br />

When the sun beat down<br />

It could not warm your skin<br />

Cause you were leaving Mother Nature<br />

And though I never cried I’m crying now<br />

For all the sadness that you taught me<br />

And though I never sang I’m singing now<br />

With all the wonder that you brought me<br />

You lived your life<br />

Like a moth around a flame<br />

Taking all the chances<br />

And going back again<br />

When the sun beat down on you<br />

It could not warm your skin<br />

Cause you were leaving Mother Nature<br />

Leaving the arms of Mother Nature<br />
