The Meantime c. 2010
1. Disconnected
I wish you didn't crack me up
singin in the shower
I wish I didn't love your voice so much
if I didn't know the way
you bitch about the weather
maybe I wouldn't feel so cold today
and I miss you when the wind is blowing
miss you when the fog is rolling in
miss you when the clouds are turning grey
even in my darkest dreaming never turned away
heard you took easy job
something to sustain you
it gives you time to think of other things
I wonder how you're holdin up
staying out of trouble
playin your guitar with the broken string
and I’m waiting on the corner for you
lookin out in all directions
stoppin every stranger on the street
even in my darkest dreaming never thought we'd be
disconnected...
and I miss you when the leaves are falling
and I miss you when the air is turning cool
miss you when the sky is blushing red
and the way the light is streaming nothing can be said
2. Witness For Love
(randall bramblett and bob jones)
you are my partner in crime
so we broke a few rules
we didn’t break enough
you are my witness for love
testify it’s true
no one has set you up
never to be let down
understanding now
I have finally found
my witness for love
the doors are open tonight
set this prisoner free
I’ve been confined enough
with just a wink of your eye
I got the light I need
I have been blind enough
seems like such a waste
why is it so hard to face?
no one can replace
my witness for love
3. Thirsty Ground
(by randall bramblett and davis causey)
thirsty ground and an empty sky
holdin out hope and I don’t quite know why
dried up stream that used to flow
you got somewhere else to go---alright
wrung out cloud hangin over head
you can’t fly you’re made of lead
god in heaven with a rolling pin
is chasin you around again
but you don’t cry
last night I dreamed of you
and all your love came through
your face was wet with rain
and all the barren world was green
thirsty ground and an empty sky
miss you more as the days go by
say I’m walkin through the pain
been down the road and back again
and it’s over
chorus
4. End of the Line
(by randall bramblett and davis causey)
heaven above and nothin below
plenty of time and nowhere to go
these bitter tears make sweet sweet wine
and I’m drinkin my fill at the end of the line
just how I got here I really can’t tell
from the arms of an angel down to earth I fell
busted and broken and stumbling blind
I found my way to the end of the line
you don’t know when you fall in love
just where the road will end
but you’ll find out when you’re all alone
and the tears start rollin in
I took a train down the lonely tracks
I saw my dreams fade into black
now I dry my eyes and do my time
‘cause someday we’ll meet at the end of the line
5. The Grand Scheme of Things
maybe life’s a secret
that can never be told
many speak with certainty
but no one knows
yes, I’ve been staring into the light
only to come away blind
the love we were sharing
I guess it was all in my mind
in the grand scheme of things
maybe we’re only tears in the rain
we’ll meet in the wild flowing stream
in the grand scheme of things
yeah, I’m always restless
and I can’t settle down
I don’t know if I believe in solid ground
out of my window nothing is clear
I guess I’m not ready to see
till I stop crying I guess that’s the way
it will be
chorus
6. Blue Blue World
(by randall bramblett and jason slatton)
cold cold drops of rain are falling
and you jar my memory
as you drift up out of nowhere
a phone begins to ring
now this empty room is crowded
full of longing and regret
and I find myself counting
all the things I’ve left
all the things I’ve left behind me
will you take this silver lining
wear it like a string of pearls
will you walk again beside me
in the blue blue world
days of noise and distraction
all this ringing in my ears
stringin thoughts across the faded page
doesn’t bring you here
doesn’t bring you here at all
chorus
keep your picture on the dashboard
snapshot framed in black and white
you’re on a dark road washed with rain
are you listening to me
are you listening to me now
chorus
7. Sacred Harmony
it’s not a wall that's holding me here
it’s not a prison and it hasn’t been no crime
I will say it is the pain in the faces of them all
it’s not a grave standing over me
not the study of years and years gone by
not the efforts of a flight
bent hard against the ground
sacred harmony blessed mystery
won’t you sing it
sing it in church for me
in the distance a woman and a violin
a child a home on a raging river bend
oh what question what mighty trial
can you devise to turn my eyes
in the grey and the haunted winter ground
lives a singer who has never made a sound
but a heart was just heard
beating loud beneath the snow
and I want to know
chorus
8. Driving to Montgomery
(by randall bramblett and davis causey)
every headlight’s blast lights up your face
and the highway’s shining in the rain
and we’re driving to montgomery
where the times have changed
said we’re going back down
where we came from
thunder rolling just like the beat of a drum
and we are driving to montgomery
where the times have changed
we broke out of the smothering heat
up to where we could be free
but no one ever told us
just how cold a place could be
as the billboards rise and the miles fly by
and the shadows of the night slip away
we are driving to Montgomery
where the times have changed
everybody wants another hour
everyone could use another day
but there ain’t no bringin back all the lost time
just let it fade away
from the waiting rooms to the crowded trains
you can hear the bells of freedom ring
and we are driving to montgomery
where the times have changed
9. Where You Come From
(by randall bramblett and jason slatton)
takin the box off the shelf
pullin the ribbon from around the paper
promises never to be broken
holding them up the to light
turnin them over and over slowly
the sun plays through
words that can’t be spoken
close your eyes and breathe a sigh
all your fears are only lies
there is only love where you come from
loose shutter taps against the house
like a child wanting your attention
the empty chair is only there to taunt you
breathin the words off the page
blowin them into the air around you
a cloud of smoke
and all the ghosts that haunt you
chorus
now you stand in the doorway shaking
cause it’s all just a dream
and you’re the one who has to wake up
chorus
10. In The Meantime
there’s a big ole hole in this world of mine
and I’m doing my best to fill it
but I can’t seem to drink enough wine
to carry me through in the meantime
I’m dreamin dreams of my used to be
tellin everybody I’ll be just fine
one day I know she’ll come back to me
welcome to life in the meantime
there’s a face in the mirror
that I’d swear was mine
but now I hardly know it
love this to light up these bloodshot eyes
there’s been too many tears in the meantime
chorus
11. You Think You Know Someone
you feel a shiver runnin down your spine
and you can’t shake the shadows
that are fillin up your mind
you know that somethin’s different
and you should have seen the signs
you think you know someone
well, you don’t
you sit down at the table
where you sat a million times
there’s a face and a voice
and words that just come floating by
you always thought you’d be the one
who couldn’t be surprised
you think you know someone
well, you don’t
just because you share the same space
just because you breathe the same air
just because you made the same promise
just because they’ve always been there
just because you love somebody
more than you ever knew
doesn’t mean you really
want to know the truth
you think you know someone
well, you don’t
the beads of sweat fallin down your brow
and all you really want to do
is fall asleep somehow
you can’t believe the one you loved
is just a stranger now
12. One More Rose
(by randall bramblett and bob jones)
here’s one more rose
before the summer’s end
here’s one more dream
to turn us all around again
just one more night
will bring the hunter’s eyes
and a thousand spears
will fall from the sky
here’s one more look
on the faces of my friends
here’s one more word
I know I’ll feel much better then
here’s one more rose
13. Vibrating Strings (Bonus Track)
goodbye november…goodbye december too
goodbye to everything
that used to tie me to you
I’m done with the guessing game
I’m in from the pouring rain
and I’m sending it all back where it came from, yeah
these vibrating strings that I call my life
they sing me through…through the sleepless night
these one million things that used to hide
gonna let ‘em fly
it’s always better on this side of the dirt
where I find myself breathing…breathing
I don’t get high no more
and sometimes it’s all a bore
at least I know that I’m dreaming…dreaming
chorus
something wild and new
something got to come through
I guess I’ll just keep waiting…waiting
but the wind is screaming here
I’m wishing that I had you near
and your chimes on the backporch are ringing,,,still ringing
chorus
it’s a slow motion day
nothin that I want to say
I guess the well’s really gone dry this time
I don’t have a thing to add
to the body of truth it’s sad
it’s not because I’m not thinking…thinking
chorus
14. I Will Be For You (Bonus Track)
(randall bramblett and bob jones )
it was in the days of another pattern baby
it was in the days that went by
it was in the light of a misty morning hour
oh how lovely oh how lonely too
I never made a big thing about it
every memory big time darling, darling
over my whole life I’m lonely too, to be
I will be for you
I would be for you
and I wonder how to laugh with you
in the midnight no doubt in my mind
you don’t mean to do
do what you do
and you’ll never know
you never will know
you never will know
you never will know
I never made a big thing about it
every memory big time darling, darling
over my whole life I’m lonely too to be
I will be for you
I would be for you
