Cold Gray Walls
(Verses)
Trapped inside of a prison
built from sadness and regret
I often lie awake at night
trying to forget.
He walked off and left me
for a girl he'd known before
never said that he was leaving
he just walked right out the door.
(Chorus)
Cold gray walls surround me
as my feet walk a floor
paved with the memories
of a love I'd known before
His brown eyes still haunt me
as I try to forget, the way
his strong arms held me
the last time that we met
(Verses)
Some loves flow like rivers
and some loves leave you dry
First loves can be special
unless they make you cry
He had been my first love
the one I thought would last
But now he's just a memory
from a broken hearted past
( Repeat Chorus)
Cold gray walls surround me
as my feet walk a floor
paved with the memories
of a love I'd known before
His brown eyes still haunt me
as I try to forget, the way
his strong arms held me
the last time that we met
(Bridge)
Cold gray walls surround me
even in my restless dreams
built of stone like prison walls
they contain my helpless screams
This pain that I've been feeling
cuts like barbwire 'round my heart
There's no escaping the memories
that keep tearing me apart
( Repeat Chorus)
Cold gray walls surround me
as my feet walk a floor
paved with the memories
of a love I'd known before
His brown eyes still haunt me
as I try to forget, the way
his strong arms held me
the last time that we met

Feeling Low
(Verses)
I've been feeling really low,
I've got the gray haired blues
I've been feeling mighty old
with nothing left to lose
I've been knocked down by blows
from hard balls others threw
And I keep on sinking down
whenever life intrudes
(Chorus)
I'm just a simple person
with a complicated mind
I search for all the meanings
then lose all that I find
I carry heavy baggage
from a long life full of crimes
against myself by others
from a distant place and time
(Bridge)
I've got an ashtray full of butts
that show how much I care
about this empty life I lead
that hangs here by a prayer
I can't see very clearly
through the dark polluted air
of a lifetime spent on loving
all the men I thought had cared
(Chorus)
I'm just a simple person
with a complicated mind
I search for all the meanings
then lose all that I find
I carry heavy baggage
from a long life full of crimes
against myself by others
from a distant place and time
(Verses)
So I just keep hanging on
and hope that things get better
Each day brings a new dawn
and another change of weather
I'm a creature of moods
that change from day to day
Maybe some day I will find one
that will hang around and stay
(Chorus)
I'm just a simple person
with a complicated mind
I search for all the meanings
then lose all that I find
I carry heavy baggage
from a long life full of crimes
against myself by others
from a distant place and time
