Kristy Lee Song Lyrics
I'm gonna tell you a story
about an olive tree, Jesus and me
See, I was sippin’ on wine
right off the vine, in Italy
Im gonna tell you all about Saint Michael
and the church in Rome
an Alabama girl, 5000 miles from home...
Jesus spoke to me
underneath the olive tree
I was sippin on wine
thought i could be dying
thought it was the end of time
then I lit a candle at church in Rome
5000 miles from my Alabama home
I said Saint Micheal Saint Michael you saint!
Hurry up and save my soul before it's too late
Underneath the olive tree...
You see it took the angel of death
to make me realize and think to myself
I said self! Hey self!
What you gonna do with all this time you got left
Hey, what you gonna do with all this time?
Then the answer came to me, rather abruptly
underneath the olive tree
Light shine
It’s the only way to free your mind
You got to let your light shine
It’s the only way to free your mind
Just keep it heart to heart in hard times
Underneath the olive tree
Underneath the olive tree
Underneath the olive tree
Underneath the olive tree
Light shine
It’s the only way to free your mind
You got to let your light shine
It’s the only way to free your mind
Just keep it heart to heart in hard times
It feels like Im running behind
Scribbled down thoughts laugh around my head
humming like a train on time
I count sheep but they leap for life
Im running on a treadmill
will the circle be unbroken
Like a graveyard sitting real sweet
underneath Alabama pines
Is every thought I ever dreamed to bring to life
Oh time take it easy on me
time take it easy on me
time your a sea of thieves
hot box a cigarette until it burns your fingertips
the soul of my boot has lost it’s youth
oh everything I try to forget
I want to change but can’t make up my mind
oh time take it easy on me
time take it easy on me
time take it easy on me
time your a sea of thieves
Time you’re a sea full of
wave after wave you’re breaking my brain
oh time take it easy on me
time take it easy on me
time take it easy on me
time you’re a sea of thieves
We’ve expired, We’ve expired
so out of date so let's just face it
we wrote our story now erase it
You got a big big brain
full of brilliant thangs
You never say to me
You keep me tossing in my sleep
You got a heart pumpin
full of blood I know
but I can't feel it, Cause you conceal it
It’s like a weapon that you hold
That's so cold cold
I tried to give you love
you want my soul
my soul
my soul
If you wanted me dead thats all you coulda said
A long long time ago
We’ve expired
We’ve expired
So out of date so let's just face it
We've expired
We've expired Leaving our treasures for the sea
We're so romantic like the titanic
Waving goodbye to everyone until we sink
Lean in real close and I’ll whisper like a ghost
a haunting faithful friend you fear
let me whisper in your ear
Dig in dig in, another shovel in
so we can finish up our hole
come on already take my soul
We’ve expired
We’ve expired
So out of date so let's just face it
We wrote our story now erase it
We've expired
We've expired
Leaving our treasures for the sea
We're so romantic like the titanic
Waving goodbye to everyone until we sink
I tried to love you
I tried to love you
I tried to give you love
you want my soul
If you wanted me dead thats all you coulda said
a long ass time ago
Pour the wine pour the wine
At the peak of our demise let’s reminisce
of how we started and now departed
come on my love give me one last kiss
We’ve expired
We’ve expired
So out of date so let's just face it
We wrote our story now erase it
We've expired
We've expired
Leaving our treasures for the sea
We're so romantic like the titanic
Waving goodbye to everyone until we sink
Your words ring out
with a hollowing howl
any thought you ever thought of me
I can see through now
And your hand doesn’t feel like a friend
Your hand doesn’t feel like a friend
There once was a time I tried not to shine
So bright for you, But I was being polite
now I leave you in the night...
My fake friend, fake fake friend
I’m not sorry if the truth, is troubling
cuz you were pretty fucking rude
and really could use, a little humbling
Fake fake friend
Take it all with you when you go
Every single shallow word you spoke
Don’t you wish me well
This is the end
Fake fake fake fake friend
I’m not sorry if the truth, is troublin'
you were pretty fucking rude
and really could use, a little humbling
Fake fake friend
Oh, my fake friend, fake fake friend
Take it all with you when you go
Every single shallow word you spoke
don’t you wish me well,
This is the end
Fake fake fake fake friend
I’m putting my pen to paper
This time I'm leaving a letter
Next to a picture that we painted together
But hey, no worries babe
I can leave my key
you gave me to the city
made a broken down girl feel so pretty
I know Im not the only one
you said felt just like the sun
For What It's Worth
Take anything you want if it makes you smile
You never been happy enough
For what it's worth
Take all the memories you already forgot
Cause karma come around, karma come around
In your pretty town
saying how, how, how, do you like me now?
I’m running in circles
trying to find my way out the door
I keep on jumping these hurtles
before I’m given some more
The room keeps spinning around my head
I can’t seem to get a grip
I’ve taken this walk all by myself
and it’s turned to such a long trip
noises like rattle snakes
can’t stop the burn
tell me will there ever be a moment of peace
to satisfy a simple urge
For what it's worth
Take anything you want if it makes you smile
You never been happy enough
For what's it's worth
Take all the memories you already forgot
Cause karma come around, Karma come around
In your pretty town, saying how how how do you like me now?
I’m running in circles
trying to find my way out the door
I keep on jumping these hurtles
before I’m given some more
The room keeps spinning around my head
I can’t seem to get a grip
I’ve taken this walk all by myself
and it’s turned to such a long trip
noises like rattle snakes
can’t stop the burn
tell me will there ever be a moment of peace
to satisfy a simple urge
For what it's worth
Take anything you want if it makes you smile
You never been happy enough
For what's it's worth
Take all the memories you already forgot
Cause karma come around, Karma come around
In your pretty town
saying ha ha ha ha
do ya like me now
Do you ever feel some days
You just wake up to struggle
No matter what game you play
It's a losing battle
You keep waiting, waiting
For your ship to come in
But it's made it's run, had its fun
And sailed on off again
Hold on to hope
Hold on to hope
Hold on to hope
Someday you'll catch your boat
And you'll sail on off to battle again
Do you ever feel some days
You just wake up to struggle
No matter what game you play
It's a losing battle
You keep waiting, waiting
For your ship to come in
But it's made it's run, had its fun
And sailed on off again
Hold on to hope
Hold on to hope
Hold on to hope
someday you'll catch your boat
you'll catch a boat
you gonna catch your boat
And your sail will fill up with wind
Your soul will be free
And one with the sea
And you'll sail on off to battle again
Hold on to hope my friend you’ll sail on off again
Hold on to hope my friend you’ll sail on off again
Into the morning wind, I set my sail
this is the dawning when
I shall prevail myself
I shall prevail myself
If I don’t win, it’s not the end
Hold on to hope
Someday you’ll catch your boat
Hold on to hope my friend
until the end
My love is a circus
You oughta know this by now
Any words left unspoken, leave me to choking
till they come out
I never meant to make you feel
anything less than real, love from my heart
But like tattoos, I covered you
with ugly words and scars
Now I know, words hurt the most
So, forgive me love
While I dance with your ghost
We took a left through the canyons
but we climbed every hill
Those mountains were monuments
and those valleys filled
Who ever knew how far we would fall
The process of progress, The true root of it all
The devil’s in the kitchen
cooking up a mess again
When it comes to the cleaning
there will be a lot to lift
Outside the water’s gonna rise to the doorstep
Just like the rising sun there is no forgiveness
Oh it’s a hell of a mess I’m in
Lord help me Jesus
Can you get me through this
There’s thundering clouds hanging over our house
I can smell the rain
I can hear the train
Oh it’s a Hell of a Mess I’m in
I feel it in my bones
like the sea is coming after me in my home
There’s gonna be a flood
Taking everything that I own
I can smell the rain
I can hear the train
I got my back up against a track
I been dancing with the devil
Forgive me Momma
I got myself into trouble
Life is but a game we’re playing
You gamble with your soul at your very wakin'
Find your voice and set it free
Find your voice and set it free
Lord help me Jesus
I’m doubting everything that I know
Water made it’s way to the pillows
A drowning place to lay a head
We rotted out the roots of the willows
God help us both our love is dead
