When She's Gone Lyrics – Brett Dennen

Your gonna fall apart
It's gonna break your heart
Your gonna know that you were wrong
Down to the boatyard you'll run
Like you did at your graduation
Your gonna miss her when she's gone

Who you trying to fool?

Your gonna miss her when she's
Your gonna miss her when she's
Your gonna miss her when she's gone

You in your second hand suit
That you wore to the portrait shoot
It was just a dream that you once had
Your gonna lose control
It's gonna take it's toll on you
You'd better let it drive you mad

Who you trying to fool?
What are you trying to prove?

Your gonna miss her when she's
Your gonna miss her when she's
Your gonna miss her when she's gone

These are the wounds that heal you
It's the pain that reveals you

Your gonna miss her when she's
Your gonna miss her when she's
Your gonna miss her when she's gone

World Keeps Turning Lyrics – Brett Dennen

This world keeps turning, turning around,
This world keeps turning me upside down,
I can't do nothing to slow it down.
This world keeps turning, turning around.

Everything you have today,
soon, can be gone away.
Yesterday, I had no sorrow but,
Here today, gone tomorrow.
Here today and gone tomorrow.

This world keeps turning,turning around,
This world keeps turning me, upside down
I can't do nothing to slow it down.
This world keeps turning, turning around.

People can be so cruel.
They'll cheat you and they'll treat you like a fool.
They'll drag your dreams through the dust,
till' you don't know who to trust.
I don't know who to trust.

The more I learn, the less I know.
I got so far to go.
I got so far to go.

This world keeps turning, turning around,
This world keeps turning me upside down,
I can't do nothing to slow it down.
This world keeps turning, turning around.
This world keeps turning, turning around
This world keeps turning, turning around

Who Do You Think You Are? Lyrics – Brett Dennen

Where are all my old friends?
It's been a long time gone.
We've been drifting apart for so many years.
I hope they're still marching on.
Some of em' probably happy with families working hard to get ahead.
Some of them are lost, some are wondering, some of them are already dead.

Who do you think you are?
It's the life you made.
Don't be afraid of the hands you play.

There's an old man sleeping in the parking lot
I wonder what he dreams about
Businessmen in suits taking millions over coffee trying to buy each other out
There's an officer, a senator, a digger and a sewer
A beggar and thief.
They all sit at different table but they all drink the same poison as me

Who do you think you are?
It's the life that you made.
Don't be afraid of the hands you play.
Who do you think you are?
It's the life that you made.
Well don't be afraid of the hands you play

The power went out, and the stars came out
and I went out for a walk in the dark
There were fireflies flittin'
and I heard the poet spittin' rhymes out in the park
And I felt myself drift up off the ground and I rose above the trees
And I saw my life in photographs of fading memories

Who do you think you are?
It's the life that you made.
Don't be afraid of the hands you play.
It's the life that you made.
Don't be afraid of the hands you play.

Follow Your Heart Lyrics – Brett Dennen

I am a dreamer
And I'm a lover
I've been let down
And I've loved and lost
I've been alone
I've been far from home

Follow your heart
Follow your heart
Follow your heart
And you won't get lost

I've been a poor man
I've been a rich man
I made a fortune
And I paid the cost
I've had some good friends
They come and go

Follow your heart
Follow your heart
Follow your heart
And you won't get lost

I've been cheated
I've been defeated
I've played the game
And I've been double crossed
Every friend of mine
Has been in hard times

Follow your heart
Follow your heart
Follow your heart
And you won't get lost

Ain't Gonna Lose You Lyrics – Brett Dennen

You can put a stick in my spokes
I can be the butt of your jokes
I can be the laughing stock, I can be the hoax
But I ain't gonna lose you
No I ain't gonna lose

They can come and tear my house down
They can run me out of town
They can tie me up, call me a clown
But I ain't gonna lose you
No I ain't gonna lose you

I can't stand
The thought of another man
No I ain't gonna lose you

They can make me turn my back on my friends
Send me away to san quentin
Put me in the hole, a thousand times again
But I ain't gonna lose you
No I ain't gonna lose you

Throw me in a hurricane
Tell the whole world I've gone insane
Run an electric shock to my brain
But I ain't gonna lose you
No I ain't gonna lose you

I can't stand
The thought of another man
No I ain't gonna lose you
No I ain't gonna lose you
Ain't gonna lose [X4]

I'll sing it from my roof top
I'll sing it from the bus stop
I'll sing it on the street drunk to a cop
But I ain't gonna lose you
No I ain't gonna lose
Ain't gonna lose you
Ain't gonna lose

Ain't No Reason Lyrics – Brett Dennen

There ain't no reason things are this way.
It's how they always been and they intend to stay.
I can't explain why we live this way.
We do it every day.

Preachers on the podium speaking of saints.
Prophets on the sidewalk begging for change.
Old ladies laughing from the fire escape,
Cursing my name.

I gotta a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same,
A window and a pigeon with a broken wing,
You can spend your whole life working for something,
Just to have it taken away.

People walk around pushing back their debts,
Wearing paychecks like necklaces and bracelets,
Talking about nothing, not thinking about death,
Every little heartbeat, every little breath.

People walk a tightrope on a razors edge.
Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons.
It could be a bomb, or a bullet, or a pen,
Or a thought, or a word, or a sentence.

There ain't no reason things are this way.
Its how they've always been and they intend to stay.
I don't know why I say the things I say,
But I say them anyway.

But love will come set me free.
Love will come set me free, I do believe.
Love will come set me free, I know it will.
Love will come set me free, yes.

Prison walls still standing tall.
Some things never change at all.
Keep on building prisons, gonna fill them all.
Keep on building bombs, gonna drop them all.

Working your fingers bare to the bone.
Breaking' your back, make you sell your soul.
Like a lung, it's filled with coal,
Suffocating slow.

The wind blows wild and I may move.
But politicians lie and I am not fooled.
You don't need no reason or a three piece suit,
To argue the truth.

The air on my skin and the world under my toes
Slavery stitched into the fabric of my clothes
Chaos and commotion wherever I go,
Love I try to follow.

Love will come set me free
Love will come set me free, I do believe
Love will come set me free, I know it will
Love will come set me free, yes

There ain't no reason things are this way.
Its how they've always been and they intend to stay.
I can't explain why we live this way.
We do it every day.
