Brandi Carlile - “What can I say” [youtube]

Look to the clock on the wall
Hands hardly moving at all
I can’t stand the state that I’m in
Sometimes it feels like the wall’s closing in

Oh, Lord, what can I say?
I’m so sad since you went away
Time, time, ticking on me
Alone is the last place I wanted to be
Lord, what can I say?

Trap all my troubles away
Drown my sorrow the same way
Seems no matter how hard I try
It seems like there’s something just missing inside

Oh, Lord, what can I say?
I’m so sad since you went away
Time, time, ticking on me
Alone is the last place I wanted to be
Lord, what can I say?
Oh, Lord, what can I say?

How many rules can I break?
How many lies can I make?
How many roles must I turn
To find me a place where the bridge hasn’t burned?

Oh, Lord, what can I say?
I’m so sad since you went away
Time, time, ticking on me
Alone is the last place I wanted to be

Oh, Lord, what can I say?
I’m so sad since you went away
Time, time, ticking on me
Alone is the last place I wanted to be
Lord, what can I say?
Oh, Lord, what can I say?

Bobby Darin - “Don’t rain on my parade”

Don’t tell me not to fly

Don’t bring around the cloud to rain on my parade

Don’t tell me not to leave
Just sit and putter
Life’s candy and the sun’s a ball of butter
Who told you you’re allowed to rain on my parade
