Kathy's Song - Eva Cassidy

I hear the drizzle of the rain 

like a memory it falls 

soft and warm continuing

Tapping on my roff and walls

'And from the shelter of my mind

Through the window of my eyes

I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets

To a land where my heart lies'.

My mind's distracted and confused

My thoughts are many miles away

They lie with you when you're asleep

Kiss you when you start the day

'Now the song I was writing is left undone

I don’t know why I spend my time

Writing songs I can’t believe

With words that tear and strain to rhyme'

'And so you see I have come to doubt

All that I once held was true

I stand alone without beliefs

The only truth I know is you'

My mind's distracted and confused

My thoughts are many miles away

They lie with you when you're asleep

Kiss you when you start the day

And as I watch the drops of rain

Weave their weary paths and die

I know that I am like the rain

There before the grace of you go I

Ruth Brown-Looking Back

Looking back over my life
I can see where I caused you strife
And I know, yes, I know
I'd never make that same mistake again

Looking back over my deeds
I can see signs a wise man heeds
And if I just had a chance
I know, I'd never make that same mistake again

Once my cup was overflowing
But I gave nothing in return
Now I can't begin to tell you
What a lesson I have learned

Looking back over the slate
I can see love turned to hate
And I know, yes, I know
That I'd never make that same mistake again

Looking back over the slate
I can see love turned to hate
And if I just had a chance
I know, I'd never make that same mistake again

I'd never make that same mistake again
I'd never make that same mistake again
Oh, I'd never make that same mistake again

Sentimental Journey

Gonna take a sentimental journey
Gonna set my heart at ease
Gonna make a sentimental journey
To renew old memories


Got my bag, I got my reservation
Spent each dime I could afford
I'm like a child in wild anticipation
I long to hear that "All aboard!"

Seven, that's the time we leave at - seven
I'll be waiting up for heaven
Counting every mile of railroad track
That takes me back

I never thought my heart could be so yearny

Why did I decide to roam?

I'm gonna take this sentimental journey

Sentimental journey home

Seven, that's the time we leave at - seven

I'll be waiting up for heaven

Counting every mile of railroad track

That takes me back

I never thought my heart could be so yearny

Now, why did I decide to roam?

I gotta take this sentimental journey

Sentimental journey home

Sentimental
Journey

I could cry

Oh, sometimes I could cry
Woman I could just lay down and die
Oh, sometimes I could cry
Woman I could just lay down and die
Well if you listen to the story now
My pal Buddy will tell you the reason why

My baby needs and she love me
In the evenin' when I come home
Whoa, my baby needs and she love me
In the evenin' when I come home, oh yes
But seems like everything I do
Everything I do is wrong

I used to have plenty money
The finest clothes in town
Nothin' ever got in my way until
You come to get me down
I'm say'n mercy, mercy, mercy baby
Ooh have mercy on me, oh yes
I'll always love you darlin'
No matter what you do

Now listen closely baby
I'll try to change my ways
Don't go kickin' up trumped up troubles
Worry all my days
Mercy mercy mercy baby
Good God mercy be all around
Yes you know I'll be right there
When the grave digger laid her down
