"Open Up" lyrics
"Open Up"
Well, I don't think for pleasure
It's just hard not to do
My thinkin' is a measure of how much I need a clue
I'm still flyin' blind, hopin' I might find
A way to stop my thinkin' and open up my mind
Well, I don't see too clearly
I wish you'd show me how
If seein' is believin', I believe I need it now
It comes as no surprise, I can't analyze
My usual refusal to open up my eyes
My feelings hurt me plenty
Not feelin' hurts me more
Feeling's got me kneelin' down, wounded to the core
Not feeling's got its charms, but you find out who it harms
When your lover soon discovers you can't open up your arms
It's like being in a prison
You lock yourself inside
A limited perspective even with eyes open wide
But I can't walk no more through scenes I've seen before
Why don't you come to me, bring a key, open up
Open up the door
It's just love and it's a puzzle
Of that there is no doubt
Can't do nothing with it and you sure can't do without
Can't learn your part, you won't know where to start
Till you quit all your questions and open up
Just open up your heart
One small suggestion: quit your questions and open up
Just open up your heart

At the glittering lights
Like windshield glass

As the diesels come
Grinding on up from the plains
All bunched up like pearls on a string

Mary Gauthier - "I Drink" He'd get home at 5:30, fix his drink
And sit down in his chair
Pick a fight with mama
Complain about us kids getting in his hair
At night he'd sit alone and smoke
I'd see his frown behind his...
Dave Rawlings Machine - "The Last Pharaoh" I'm looking for the last, the last pharaoh
When night falls on the land
I'm looking for the last, the last pharaoh

John Hiatt & Jerry Douglas - "Changes In My Mind" I'm sleeping in a fog and I'm driving a dirty car
Through the nightmares in my mind
I'm hitting all the puzzle pieces
Of the lifetimes you and I have left behind
It's not like I'm goin' somewhere...
Rodney Crowell - "It Ain't Over Yet" It's like I'm sitting at a bus stop waiting for a train
Exactly how I got here is hard to explain
My heart's in the right place, what's left of it I guess
My heart ain't the problem, it's my mind...
