The Wind
By The Lonesome Doves
A summer love
must meet its end
the breeze becomes
a blowing wind
You say its so
but we aren't friends
You can't see me coming
I'm like the wind
ooh ooh ah
ooh ooh ah
I turn the tide
and shake the clouds
a force that cannot
be pushed around
Hurricanes
and twisters turn
I'll quench the fire
or fuel the burn.
ooh ooh ah
ooh ooh ah
I shake the clouds
Say who where when
I don't play fair
Fair-weather friend
A bitter cold
is blowing in
a summer love
must meet its end.
ooh ooh ah
ooh ooh ah
ooh ooh ah
ooh ooh
ah

In The Jungle
By: The Lonesome Doves
In the Jungle
In the Jungle
In the Jungle yeah
In the jungle
You don't get a weekend
No holidays or overtime
In the jungle you don't get no freedom
You're just a face on the assembly line
In the jungle
You don't get no healthcare
You barely get any sleep at night
In the jungle you work til your broken
until your too tired to put up a fight
In the Jungle
In the Jungle
In the Jungle yeah
In the jungle every language is spoken
and all the faces are covered with grime
You work all day just for a token
the way they treat you it should be a crime
In the jungle you cant be in a union
and children are your co-wokers
In the jungle you cant breathe the air is fuming
and lives are lost to the fires
In the Jungle
In the Jungle
In the Jungle yeah
in the jungle life ain't fair
just go ask Upton Sinclair
Your thinking now your barely alive
Well in the jungle
You could never survive
In the Jungle
In the Jungle
In the Jungle
In the Jungle yeah

Home
By The Lonesome Doves
Meet me at the back door
I don't wan't to stay here anymore
My mom and dad wont know
Let's head west to Cali
just get me to another city
Texas has both a Paris and a Rhome
Even though I want to go
inside all I really know
is just this place called home
And home...
it doesn't matter where I go,
I'll go back home
Home...
it doesn't matter where I roam,
I'll go back home
Get me to the next train
the next bus,boat, or airplane
My destination... I don't know
From Port-au-Prince to Rwanda
Amsterdam to Bujumbura
this world is mind to stroll
Even though I go wherever that wind blows,
inside i know exactly where i want to go
Home
It doesn't matter where i go
I'll go back home
Home
It doesn't matter where i roam
I'll go back home
Been everywhere that I could go
learned more than I will ever know
I don't regret a moment of it all
and even though I've seen it all
the monuments both big and small
there's only one place
oh to call my own
and that's
Home
It doesn't matter where I go
I'll go back home
I'm going home
It doesn't matter where I go
I'll go back home
we're going home
it doesn't matter where we go
we'll go back home
Home

Around You
By: The Lonesome Doves
It starts out
very innocently
Then you resent me
So it goes
Why did all this ever have to happen?
That's just what happens
When you grow
I don't know why
You can't look me in the eye
And tell me
What you know
The elephants roam around this place
running out of space
in the room
The only cages that I see
are around me
round me and you
And I've been dancing all of my life
around you
trying not wake the elephants in the room
Spinning in circle
well it will only make you dizzy
if i can stand still
then i could just be me
And its hard for me
to ever want to speak
the sound truth
around you
Cause as far as I can see
its only going to lead
to hurt you
and those around you
And that is
That is the quagmire
You've set so much on fire
Around you
and soon it will
surround you
Around you
Around you
It starts out
very innocently
now you resent me
So it goes.

Unconditionally
By: The Lonesome Doves
It was so lonely you see
trying to find
my one and only
What kind of person to be
trying to find
a lover for me
Didn't think it happen to me
Suddenly
so spontaneously
You came for me across the sea
Suddenly
dancing under the sea
I give all my loving for free
Unconditionally
It feels so natural to me
Unconditionally
I give all my loving for free
Unconditionally
It feels so natural to me
Unconditionally
Magic can be hard to believe
Could this be love
actually
A kiss is not a guarantee
this could be love
unquestionably
past the rind and pageantry
finding the words
and questions on bended knee
Our lips spoke a sacred decree
And I found you
and finally you found me
I give all my loving for free
Unconditionally
It feels so natural to me
Unconditionally
I give all my loving for free
Unconditionally
It feels so natural to me
Unconditionally
I give all my loving for free
Unconditionally
It feels so natural to me
Unconditionally
I give all my loving for free
Unconditionally
It feels so natural to me
Unconditionally

How To Say I Love You
03:24

The coffees brewed and ready
as your headed out the door
packed the kids lunch
though they seem to ignore
it was nothing special
but they might remember the way
you cut the crust off their PB & J
And how fast they grow
you might never know
the right way to say
But say it once
then say it again
oh say it every day
I love you
the right way
I love you
how to say
I love you
As the car starts up
you look in the rear view mirror
See their smiling faces
and the joy creeps nearer
Its a full time job
but you wouldn't trade a day
as they bound up the steps
in their world made of clay
And how fast they grow
you might never know
the right way to say
But say it once
then say it again
oh say it every day
I love you
the right way
I love you
how to say
I love you
As they disappear
the school door shuts behind
but you wait and see
for one last goodbye
its a blessed way
to live through this wife
living for the love
of your kids and a beautiful wife
And how fast they grow
you might never know
the right way to say
But say it once
then say it again
oh say it every day
I love you
the right way
I love you
how to say
I love you

In Your Eyes
By: The Lonesome Doves
In your Eyes
I get lost
I'm like Dorothy in poppy frost
In your eyes
is where I roam
and now I know
that I am home
clicking once
clicking twice
take me home
in your eyes
In your eyes
I'm in wonderland
You're my rabbit
take me by the hand
In your eyes
I am magical
falling for you
down the rabbit hole
waking once
waking twice
Take me home
in your eyes
All along I was found
Yet I'm still lost
in love profound
In your eyes
I've always been home
even in house slippers
I'm never alone
I kiss you once
I kiss you twice
There's no place
there's no place
like your eyes.

Dancing in the dark
walking through the park
Why do I love you
I don't know I just do baby
Holding onto your hand
Ain't life grand?
I don't have a penny
but I have you baby, mhm.
You don't have to tell me with words
You don't have to say a thing
Your heart is bright upon your sleeve
that's on your arm that's wrapped around me
Because I love you.
You're such a sweet surprise
hard to summarize
Your kisses caress and turn every word yes, baby
I'm falling so in love
yet flying like a dove
Let's build a nest of our own happiness, mhm
Oh let's head out west
let's build a nest
of our own happiness, baby.
Baby
