Flowers

He talks in flowers
says he misses me
but he's too busy to see me
my thoughts on this matter are that
he talks in flowers
and it feels like thorns

he talks in bouquets
I drink it up like a cabernet
he knows when to call
and just what to say
he talks in flowers
and it feels like thorns

He takes me for a ride
plucks my heart off my sleeve
rips it up and throws it aside
rips it up and throws it aside
aside aside aside aside
and it feels like thorns

Oh he talks in flowers
it's someday this
and someday that
the days roll in
and the days roll past
He talks in flowers
and it feels like thorns

Walk on Me

written by Terri Hendrix
©1997 THM Music (BMI)

I used to live downstairs in a rundown apartment
my neighbors upstairs were loud
and I could hear the sound of them walkin'
upstairs downstairs I felt when I lived there
that they were walkin' on me

I remember when he moved in
he laid rugs across the hardwood floors
tacked posters, up on every door
and said I can't get no space
upstairs downstairs I laughed it off with a shrug
rolled out like a rug and let him walk on me

walk walkin' on me
walk walkin' on me
I reached for the ceiling but
I settled for the floor
i said come on, walk on meä

I remember when he moved out
he took everything I owned and left an
empty house
with a note tacked on each door
with a list of reasons why he left me for her
and upstairs downstairs the apartments
began to shake
with the sound of me rollin' up off the ground
and screamin' I've had all that I can take

Wallet

written by Terri Hendrix
©1997 THM Music (BMI)

Bend like a willow
flow like a reed
live like a bird
change like a leaf
and keep my name on your mind
and my number in your wallet
for when you got the time

I gotta yard without a fence
a heart you can hold your body against
so keep my name on your mind
and my number in your wallet
for when you got the time

need need need I've got a need to be wanted
and a need to be free
need need need I've got a need to be wanted
and a need to be free

You gotta live with passion
love with the same
hold the key to all your chains
and keep my name on your mind
and my number in your wallet
for when you got the time

You've got to own your own universe
roll in the grass and kiss this earth
and keep my name on your mind
and my number in your wallet
for when you got the time

need need need I've got a need to be wanted
I've gotta need to be free
need need need I've got a need to be wanted
I've gotta need to be free

Sister's Apartment

written by Terri Hendrix
©1997 THM Music (BMI)

Sister's movin into
your sister's apartment
Dad he's upset and Mama's a cryin'
dogs are barkin' at the wind
trees are bendin' with this
storm rollin' in
neighbors are a gossipin'
kids at school are gigglin'
cause sister's
movin' into your sister's apartment

Sister's movin' into your
sister's apartment
she's tired of the lyin'
she's tired of the hidin'
all hell is breakin' loose
mama took me to a doctor
to check if I was one too
neighbors are a gossipin'
kids at school are gigglin'
cause sister's
movin into your sister's apartment

Sister's movin' into your
sister's apartment
Sister's movin' into your
sister's apartment
I'll tell you once I'll tell you again
tell you one more time and maybe
somethin' will sink in
neighbors are a gossipin'
kids at school are gigglin'
cause sister's movin into
your sister's apartment

What do what do what do we do
What do what do what do we do
Tell me tell me what do we do

Love Like This

written by Pat Bunch/ Pam Rose and Mary Ann Kennedy
copyright 1984 by Aresville/Egypt Hollow/My Choy (BMI)

A king would trade his finest crown for a love
Love like this
And warriors have laid weapons down for a love
Love like this
Hearts would break a 1000 times for a love
Love like this
And arms would wait a 1000 nights for a love
Love like this

Chorus:
Love may come and love may go
But here inside your arms I know
That only you will ever show me
Love like this yea and oooooooooooo yea

You and I have finally found love
Love like this
A place to lay our burdens down love
Love like this
Hearts can speak without a sound in love
Love like this
What makes this world keep spinnin' round love
Love like this

Chorus

The moon has never shown before on a love
Love like this
I have never wanted more than love
Love like this
Love
Love like this

Hole In My Pocket

written by Terri Hendrix
©1997 THM Music (BMI)

I'm living on the outside now I'm looking in
I've been feeling like a window
sometimes I break just like a window
love is just this liquid open like a river
I've been reachin' for this ocean
and I'm breakin' before I see the waves

Show me ways to save my soul
show me ways to save my soul
I've got a hole in my pocket
where it all slips away (repeat)

Where has my head been
since this needle took a spin
and the stitch out of my thoughts when
I had my life in place I'm livin on the outside and,
I'm lookin in I can't get it together again
you've gotta show me, gotta show me,
gotta show me the way

Show me ways to save my soul
show me ways to save my soul
I've got a hole in my pocket
where it all slips away (repeat)

Hole in my pocket
Hole in my pocket
I've got a hole in my pocket
where it all slips away (repeat)

There is less and less inside of me
a little bit less and a little bit less with each day
oh wrap me up - hide me
there's gotta be something left
oh something I can save...

Gravity

written by Terri Hendrix
©1997 THM Music (BMI)

Freefall off the mountain freefall into space
the world spins by as I fly off into another state
why - do we crash into the blue?
why - does a high never last into the blue?
all you have to blame it on is gravity
in you, in me, in me

I dreamed I was a satellite
doing circles 'round the earth
I woke to find myself entwined in a blanket of dirt
why - do we crash into the blue?
why - does a high never last into the blue?
all you have to blame it on is gravity in you, I have a lot of gravity in me all you have to blame it on is gravity in you, I have a lot of gravity in me

Mayday I'm comin down
Mayday I'm gonna crash
I wake in bed in a cold sweat
and think of all these prayers I should have asked
why - do we crash into the blue?
why - does a high never last into the blue?

all you have to blame it on is gravity
in you, I have a lot of gravity in me
all you have to blame it on is gravity
in you, I have a lot of gravity in me
Why?
Why?

The Know How

written by Terri Hendrix
©1997 THM Music (BMI)

Car needs an oil change
bedroom needs a coat of paint
my mind needs a scene change
I'm sick of where I've been
I'm in front of the TV
spittin out sunflower seeds
hidin from the landlord
who's comin for my rent

I'm all out of money
and I'm all out of time
I'm all out of patience right now
and I'd get it together
if I could
but I just don't know how

There was nothin' in the brochure
to warn me of the danger
I'd have on this adventure'
when I got out of my bed
my landlord's knockin'
knockin' like an engine
rockin' like the pistons
inside of my head

Every stray can find his way back
if he's got a road map
I'll stop and get directions
or I just might disappear
there's got to be a better stop
than livin' life through a pawn shop
I've got somethin' inside of me
and nothin' left here

Lluvia de Estrellas

written by Terri Hendrix
©1997 THM Music (BMI)

Lluvia de Estrellas (Rain of Stars)
en mi corrazon esta noche
(in my heart tonight)
Lluvia de Estrellas (Rain of Stars)
en mi alma en mi vida esta noche
(in my soul in my life tonight)

In Boquillas the sun sets around us
as we sing and play to the moon
the children's big brown eyes
light up the foothills of the mountain-side
everybody sings in harmony to the tune

Un brincador de montaöas
(a jumper of mountains)
en mi alma (in my soul)
is who you are to me
Un brincador de montaöas
(a jumper of mountains)
en mi vida (in my life)
atravez del cielo (across the sky)
when I choose to see

Albert the Perfect Friend

written by Terri Hendrix
©1997 THM Music (BMI)

Albert's got a crazy eye
that strays to the right
he's got thin crooked lips
that he constantly licks
he lives in a house that
looks like a wound
to a good neighborhood

Albert stuck his hand down the blouse
of Sammy's gal's shirt
she slapped his face
she said do it again
I won't tell Sam your best friend

Ease on up. Ease on up.
Albert changes his plans.
Ease on up. Ease on up.
Albert's the perfect friend.

Albert's got your wallet
in his back pocket
Albert's got a cheesy smile on his face
it's the suckers who lose
the loosers they win like Albert
your perfect friend

Wind Me Up

All's I've gots is my P.O. box
It's on the corner of Lavaca and Ninth
I do a little and the little I do
is enough for me to keep my vice
Oh wind me up and watch me go. I'm gone

Wind wind wind me up.
Watch watch watch me go
Wind wind wind me up.
Watch watch watch me go
wind me up and watch me go.
Baby I'm gone

All's I left was a pile of debts
and a man he would not work
I said didn't your mama raise you right
baby you always been a jerk
what a jerk
wind me up and watch me go. I'm gone.

And all's I left was a sleepyhead
one light town by the bay
I stuck out my thumb when I was done
Listening to what that town had to say
gossip
gossip nothin but gossip.

I check my mail on Monday morning
P.O. box key in hand
I check my mail for bills
for catalogs and for contraband........
Wind me up and watch me go. I'm gone

May your peace be an anchor
In stormy times
May your hope run like a river
That'll never run dry
May your burdens grow light
May your worries subside
This is my prayer for you

May your soul grow deep
May your joy run wild
May your heart know the face of mercy has smiled
May your faith come to let you believe like a child
This is my prayer for you
This is my prayer for you
