Roger Wilco lyrics - Shawn Colvin

Roger Wilco it's okay
It's all yours it's anything that you say
My company fell in we were airborne again
the next thing I knew
we were dropped like like sticks in the wind
I relinquish this mission sir in the interests of my men
I do not expect to see my children again
You have your reinforcements and I take that as a sign
I'm walking back to Austin
or at least die trying....
MIA or KIA
It's up to you, it's not for me to say
While I may have mislead you sir I did not do it with intent
In the beginning I believed that our objective was low rent
But now I've seen your tactics and your fire in the hole
The entire operation is a misappropriation of my soul
Roger Wilco it's okay
Roger Wilco it's okay
Roger Wilco it's okay

Mr. Levin lyrics - Shawn Colvin

Find a nail to hang your hat on
Go and get yourself a chair
If there's little hope to fathom
Mr. Levon left it there
Don't imagine you can lose him
Just take the ribbons from your hair
Give your resistance to the darkness
Mr Levon left it there
Mr Levon left it there
There will be light, empty and flat
California under glass
Hold me tight and don't let go
You can believe your intuition
Yes you have finaly met your match
If everything you are is missing
Mr. Levon took it back
It could be halfway to Heaven
It could be there down the Hall
It doesn't matter if you are begging
Mr Levon took it all
Mr Levon took it all
There will be light, empty and flat
California under glass
Hold me tight and don't let go
There must be a place you can run to
Or maybe someone you you could call
Just to tell them what it's come to
Mr Levon took it all
Mr Levon took it all
Mr Levon took it all

One Small Year lyrics - Shawn Colvin

One small year
It's been an eternity
It's taken all of me to get here
In this one small year

The hands of time
They pushed me down the street
They swept me off my feet to this place
And I don't know my fate

Now through the night
I can pretend
The morning will make me whole again
And everyday
I can begin
To wait for the night again

One more tomb
That never will be dug
It's just another one for the moon
For the days in the ruin

Just today
I woke up feeling fine
That the world was mine, air was clean
But it was a dream

Where out of the blue
came you and me
The Wizard of Oz had set us free
You let me float you to your feet
Just like you believed in me
It's like you believed in...

One small year
I wonder where I'll go
It's shouldn't seem so alone or so weird
But I was always here
I was always here

Just one small year

I'll Say I'm Sorry Now lyrics - Shawn Colvin


I'm gonna let you down
I know that now
Make you cry, I know I will
Why should you believe
I would never leave
Or that I love you still

For all that I am by
And hard as we try
The bough breaks
The cradle falls

For everything I do
That will tear at you
Let me say I'm sorry now

So you can sing your song
You can get it wrong
You can kiss the rock of ages
In your wildest dreams
You might see between
The liars and the sages

You can walk awhile
Down the mystery mile
You can beat the drums of freedom
In love and war
Through the rush and roar
You just call 'em like you see 'em

In The Bleak Mid-Winter lyrics - Shawn Colvin

In the bleak midwinter
Stormy winds may blow
Earth tood hard as iron
Water like a stone
Snow had fallen snow on snow
Snow on, snow on, snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long, long ago

What can I give him
Poor as I am
If I were a shelter
I would bring a lamb
If I were a wise man
I would do my part
What can I give him
Give my heart

Snow had fallen snow on snow
Snow on, snow on, snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long, long ago

Christmas Time Is Here lyrics - Shawn Colvin

Christmas time is here,
Happiness and cheer,
Fun for all that children call their favorite time of year.

Snowflakes in the air,
Carols everywhere,
Olden times and ancient rhymes and love and dreams to share.

Sleigh bells in the air;
Beauty every where;
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there.

Christmas time is here;
Families drwing near;
Oh that we could always see such siprit through the year.

Now The Day Is Over lyrics - Shawn Colvin

Now the day is over
Night is drawing nigh
Shadows of the evening
Steal across the sky

Give to little children
Visions sweet of thee
Guard the sailors tossing
On the deep blue sea

When the morning wakens
Then may i arise
Fresh and pure and sinless
In thy holy eyes

Give to little children
Visions sweet of thee
Guard the sailors tossing
On the deep blue sea

Rocking lyrics - Shawn Colvin

Little Jesus sweetly sleep
Do not stir
We will lend a coat of fur
We will rock you, rock you, rock you
We will rock you, rock you now
See the fur
To keep you warm
Snuggle 'round your tiny form

Mary's little baby sleep
Sweetly sleep
Sleep in comfort
Slumber deep
And we will rock you, rock you, rock you
We will rock you, rock you now

We will serve you
All we can
Darling, dancing little man

Yeah, we will rock you, rock you, rock you
We will rock you, rock you now

Windy Nights lyrics - Shawn Colvin

Whenever the moon and stars are circling
Whenever the wind is high
All night long through the dark and wet
The man goes riding by
Late in the night when the fire's all out
Why does he gallop and gallop about?

Whenever the trees are crying out loud
And ships are tossed at sea
Ride on the highway low and loud
By at the gallop goes he
By at the gallop goes he
And then by he comes back at the gallop again

Whenever the moon and stars are circling
Whenever the wind is high
All night long through the dark and wet
The man goes riding by
Late in the night when the fire's all out
Why does he gallop and gallop about?

All Through The Night lyrics - Shawn Colvin

Sleep, my love
And peace attend thee
All through the night
Guardian Angel
God will send thee
All through the night
And soft the drowsy eyes are creeping
Heal and fade in slumber
Sleeping
Love along
His watch is keeping
All through the night

Sleep, my love
and peace attend thee
All through the night

Love Came Down At Christmas lyrics - Shawn Colvin

Love came down at Christmas
Love, a lovely love divine
Love was born at Christmas
Star and Angels gave the sign

Love came down at Christmas
Love, a lovely love divine
Love was born at Christmas
Star and Angels gave the sign
(Star and Angels gave the sign)

Love shall be our token
Love be yours and love be mine
Love to God and both of us
Love for plea and gift and sign

Love shall be our token
Love be yours and love be mine
Love to God and both of us
Love for plea and gift and sign

Love came down at Christmas
Love, a lovely love divine
Love was born at Christmas
Star and Angels gave the sign
(Star and Angels gave the sign)

Silent Night lyrics - Shawn Colvin

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round you virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing alleluia
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

All The Pretty Li'l Horses lyrics - Shawn Colvin

Go to sleep, baby child
Go to sleep, my little baby
And hush-a-bye
Don't you cry
Go to sleep, my little baby

When you wake
You will have
All the pretty little horses
Black and blue
And sorrow, too
All the pretty little horses

Black and blue
And sorrow, too
All the pretty little horses

Hush-a-bye
Don't you cry
Go to sleep, my little baby

Little Road To Bethlehem lyrics - Shawn Colvin

As I walked down the road at set of sun,
The lambs were coming homeward one by one.
I heard a sheepbell softly calling them,
Along the little road to Bethlehem

Beside an open door as I drew nigh,
I heard sweet Mary sing a lullaby.
She sang about the lambs at close of day,
And rocked her tiny King among the hay.

Across the air the silver sheepbells rang.
"The lambs are coming home," sweet Mary sang.
"Your star of gold, your star of gold is shining in the sky.
So sleep, my little King, go lullaby."

As I walked down the road at set of sun,
The lambs were coming homeward one by one.
I heard a sheepbell softly calling them,
Along the little road to Bethlehem
