Where Did You Come From? (Apparently the answer is "Peru")

Tip toe in,
Don't say a word,
Then suddenly you're here.
Opened the door,
I never heard,
You creep so close -- so near.
A part of you,
Inside of me,
You grab onto my heart,
I cherish you,
I want you there,
When did this feeling start?

Patch my broken heart,
Fill my empty soul,
Dread when we're apart,
I've never felt so whole,
Never thinking I'd deserve it,
Never thinking that you'd come,
As now I start to wonder,
Where did you come from?

As this thing grows,
I'm watching it,
I swear I thought you'd leave.
Deep inside,
Those big brown eyes,
A love I can't believe.
You take on me,
Despite my faults,
And things I cannot change,
Not asking me,
Or forcing me,
It feels so good, but strange.


Patch my broken heart,
Fill my empty soul,
Dread when we're apart,
I've never felt so whole,
Never thinking I'd deserve it,
Never thinking that you'd come,
As now I start to wonder,
Where did you come from?

Somewhere beyond heaven,
Someone called to me,
A light so bright,
I shield my eyes,
But still I cannot see.
Warmth outside my body,
Seeping through my soul,
You press your lips to mine,
And I've completely lost control.
"Don't let her in,"
They say to me,
But you're already here,
I tried to shield,
My heart from you,
But feelings are so clear...

Patch my broken heart,
Fill my empty soul,
Dread when we're apart,
I've never felt so whole,
Never thinking I'd deserve it,
Never thinking that you'd come,
As now I start to wonder,
Where did you come from?

Cameron's Homework (From 9:45p last night) =o)

Pack the wagon and jump on in,
Hit the trail out West,
He’ll miss the farm that he grew up on,
But he’s hoping for the best.
Dreams of livestock fill his head,
And cultivating land,
He leaves behind the things he loves,
A life built by his hand.

(Chorus)

Lush green fields,
Streams of gold,
They’re calling them out West,
Illnesses , life on the trail,
And hardly any rest.
Heading out to find their land,
And build their brand new home,
With fields of grass and streams of gold,
For them to call their own.

Their looking to a promise land,
No longer are they slaves,
They’ve finally got the chance they want,
Not serving men like knaves.
A chance to own a piece of land,
“Exodusters” they say,
There’s opportunity to live their life,
And make their independent way.

(Chorus)

Lush green fields,
Streams of gold,
They’re calling them out West,
Illnesses , life on the trail,
And hardly any rest.
Heading out to find their land,
And build their brand new home,
With fields of grass and streams of gold,
For them to call their own.

Gold and silver by the lode,
Searching rocks for veins,
The entire country heads out West,
Made easier by trains.
Desert their jobs to come to mine,
And hope for the “Big Strike”
A life of riches beyond belief,
What is not to like?

(Chorus)

Lush green fields,
Streams of gold,
They’re calling them out West,
Illnesses , life on the trail,
And hardly any rest.
Heading out to find their land,
And build their brand new home,
With fields of grass and streams of gold,
For them to call their own.

The “Iron Horse” scared the buffalo,
And now their land is taken away,
A way of life they’ve lived for years,
Is dying now today.
The Army comes to subdue the tribes,
After “Custer’s Last Stand”,
Some changed the way they looked at things,
And started farming from the land.

(Chorus)

Lush green fields,
Streams of gold,
They’re calling them out West,
Illnesses , life on the trail,
And hardly any rest.
Heading out to find their land,
And build their brand new home,
With fields of grass and streams of gold,
For them to call their own.

Out in the Night

In my sleep,as I dream,
things become what they don't seem,
On a ship sailing away,
My heart's not here to stay,
Don't you know it wanders from my chest?

(Chorus)
Out in the night,
I wanna feel it,
Out in the night,
I can pulse with excitement.
Out in the night,
I do not feel you...

I taste the freedom,
dripping on my lips.

Not tied down,
to a rail,
I can live so free and well.

Can't believe I've found what I've been lookin' for.

So don't try to corral me,
As I walk this walk of fame,
My soul is roamin' free, babe,
No sorrow and no shame.

(Chorus)
Out in the night,
I wanna feel it,
Out in the night,
I can pulse with excitement.
Out in the night,
I do not feel you...

I taste the freedom,
dripping on my lips.

When I wake,
I will return,
To the arms that hold me tight,
But, in my dreams my heart will be,
Tearin' up the night...

(Chorus)
Out in the night,
I wanna feel it,
Out in the night,
I can pulse with excitement.
Out in the night,
I do not feel you..

I taste the freedom,
dripping on my lips.
(Repeat)
