One-Sided Coin

Love's not a one-sided coin
You can't always win the day
Love's not a line in a poem
Borrowed words aren't what I
Need to hear you say

You've got to feel me in your heart
This honesty is where love starts
Fancy words and fast moves
The hallmark of a lonely fool
Love's not a one-sided coin
So don't throw it all away
When all I need to hear you say
What I need to hear you say
Words from your heart
Why can't you say

Love's not a one-sided coin
You can't always win the day
Love's not a line in a poem
Borrowed words aren't what I
Need to hear you say

You've got to feel me in your heart
This honesty is where love starts
So don't throw it all away
Love's not a one-sided coin
And you can't always win the day

Base Metal

We were base metal turned to gold
Beautiful hearts to have and to hold
I was a promise written on your skin
You were a poem for me to sing

How could we have known
Too high a price we paid
And love would hold us ransom
Till the end of our days
Beautiful hearts to have and to hold
We were base metal turned to gold

Your eyes find me from the newspage
A hundred years to the very day
That they took you from me
Down to the County jail

Down those dusty lanes
Down those dusty lanes

Tried for a poacher
The story's always the same
Twas only food for the table
Turned to three years without bail

Down those dusty lanes
Down those dusty lanes

You died of a fever
To the freedom of your grave
But your love held me ransom
Till the end of my days

We were base metal turned to gold
Beautiful hearts to have and to hold
I was a promise written on your skin
You were a poem for me to sing

How could we have known
Too high a price we paid
And love would hold us ransom
Till the end of our days
Beautiful hearts to have and to hold
We were base metal turned to gold

Fly to You

I'm sorry if I lean to hard my friend
But you're the rock on which I depend
A life spent on the wing
It's hard to find a place to cling
And we could fall and we could fail
But this love still prevails

And I thank you and say
We could fall and we could fail
But this love still prevails
And I fly to you
I would fly with you
And I cry with you
I would cry for you
So I thank you and say
We could fall and we could fail
But this love
Well... love prevails

I'm sorry when I'm too far to find you
When the nights are the hardest to get through
A night under the stars
When it's hard to know who we are
We could fall and we could fail
But this love still prevails

And I thank you and say
We could fall and we could fail
But this love still prevails
And I fly to you
I would fly with you
And I cry with you
I would cry for you
So I thank you and say
We could fall and we could fail
But this love
Well... love prevails
