Coming Round by Judy Banker Looking up I see the sky is falling Falling down in pieces around my head You slipped out the door without me realizing Why you went or when But I swear I hear your whisper And I’m following that sound Pulling me closer I’m coming ‘round In the dark when I lay thinking The truth of us gets stripped to the bone Longing fills my blood and I fly naked as a jaybird Searching for your arms to guide me home It’s then I hear your whisper And I’m following that sound Pulling me closer I’m coming ‘round. Bridge: A million miles I’ve traveled If it takes a million more I’ll prove that I for you, will fix the sky for you So you’ll come back in through that door You tried and tried to tell me What’s plain as day and secret as the night Love will make you whole Love will make you high Love goes on forever Unless someone falls behind. So when I hear your whisper I’m following that sound Pulling me closer I’m coming round You’re pulling me closer And I swear I’m coming round Coming Round by Judy Banker Looking up I see the sky is falling Falling down in pieces around my head You slipped out the door without me realizing Why you went or when But I swear I hear your whisper And I’m following that sound Pulling me closer I’m coming ‘round In the dark when I lay thinking The truth of us gets stripped to the bone And longing fills my blood and I fly naked as a jaybird Searching for your arms to guide me home It’s then I hear your whisper And I’m following that sound Pulling me closer I’m coming ‘round. Bridge: A million miles I’ve traveled If it takes a million more I’ll prove that I, for you, will fix the sky, for you So you’ll come back in through that door You tried and tried to tell me What’s plain as day and secret as the night Love will make you whole Love will make you high Love goes on forever Unless someone falls behind. So when I hear your whisper I’m following that sound Pulling me closer I’m coming round You’re pulling me closer And I swear I’m coming round

Feet of Clay by Judy Banker What I wouldn’t give to live Without doing what I did to you I hurt you I know Played dirty I know Said it’s not true When I know it is What I wouldn’t give to live without Setting you up for a fall Should’ve stayed true instead Of losing my head And making a mess of it all Well, I didn’t care Went in for the dare Covered up with a plausible line Now you’re turning away And I don’t see a day I won’t rue that damn alibi That you don’t believe And you will not be with A girl who can’t look you in the eye Even though I would give the world to live Without making you cry. Ch) And the breeze blows steady South across the bay And my heart lies heavy As I replay that day My feet of clay You slippin’ away You slippin’ away Now when you look my way All you see are shades Of the past and what I did to you What’s done now is done I’ll soon become A bad card you once drew Before you say we’re through Let me try to undo And make right of a stupid wrong Cuz you know I would give the world to live Without letting you down Ch) And the breeze blows steady South across the bay And my heart lies heavy As I replay that day My feet of clay You slippin’ away You slippin’ away

I’ll Make It Right by Judy Banker Hello trying to reach you Will you come and talk with me Hello I need to see you Will you come sit here with me Ch) Listen up, I know where we went wrong And I’ll make it right Listen up, before the line gets drawn and I’ll make it right for you tonight I’ll make it right for you tonight Hello, where’re you going Can’t you stay a little while Hello, silence isn’t golden Can’t you see it’s do or die Ch) Listen up, I know you’ll understand And I’ll make it right Listen up, I’ve got a brand new plan I’ll make it right for you tonight I’ll make it right for you tonight Bridge: We’ve been down this road before Better watch what we say You know I couldn’t love you more And I get so afraid Ch) Listen up, I know where we went wrong and I’ll make it right Listen up, before our time is gone I’ll make it right for you tonight I’ll make it right for you tonight

Devils Never Cry by Judy Banker Biggest moon I’ve ever seen Hanging low in the sky You shine so bright, stars fade from sight Stars won’t be coming out tonight No wishing tonight on starlight Ch) So it goes, the night doesn’t care But what you did isn’t right Angels won’t ever break your heart And devils never cry Devils never cry Coyotes howling out in the field Raising ancient harmonies I don’t bother wondering why Howling is a coyote’s creed Something a coyote needs You were my creed You were my need And I used up all my wishes on you Ch) So it goes, the night doesn’t care But what you did isn’t right Angels won’t ever break your heart And devils never cry Devils never cry. You were my creed You were my need And I used up all my wishes on you Ch) So it goes the night doesn’t care But what you did isn’t right Angels won’t ever break your heart And devils never cry Devils never cry So it goes the night doesn’t care But what you did isn’t right You broke my heart til I fell on my knees And I never saw you cry I never saw you cry

REGRETS by Judy Banker You dug a hole by the backyard fence Covered up with dead leaves and regrets You act like I don’t know what that hole is for Lay down your shovel, come in where it’s warm Another night you’re ruminating I hear you pour another Jack Well, our bed is cold and I grow old waitin’ All the while you’re looking back In the dark alone you brew on Every right you ever wronged Lay me down and I’ll redeem you What I’ve got will make you strong Ch) Most your time’s spent underground Courtin’ your demons and countin’ your sins Living it down ain’t no living at all No one wins When are you gonna reconcile Leave your foxhole for a piece Of tenderness instead of trail Come get up off your knees Ch) Stop spending your time underground Courtin’ your demons and countin’ your sins Living it down ain’t no living at all No, no one wins You dug a hole by the backyard fence Covered up with dead leaves and regrets You act like I don’t know what that hole is for Lay down your shovel, come in where it’s warm Lay down your shovel, come in where it’s warm

Into Those Eyes 05:00

Into Those Eyes by Judy Banker When I fell in love with you I was walking away Calling it a day I was done with snakes And dumb mistakes Losing at the same old game. When I fell in love with you The last thing on my mind Was getting all entwined With someone new I was through With waiting for the sign Ch) But you had the deepest eyes I’d ever seen Cut with steel and smoke and a wrangler’s dreams And I fell, I fell, I fell, I fell Into those eyes When I fell in love with you I was splitting the scene Floating down a stream Of fits and starts And broken parts Lot of empty in between But you called me by my name And nothin’, nothin’ was the same You called me by my name And nothin’, oh nothin’ was the same When I fell in love with you I had nothing left to prove And everything to lose So I jumped the track No turning back For a stubborn heart coming loose Ch) Cuz you had the deepest eyes I’d ever seen Cut with steel and smoke and a wrangler’s dreams And I fell, I fell, I fell, I fell Into those eye

If You Could Read My Mind by Judy Banker It’s getting kinda rough ‘round here When the sun goes down it’s tough to care You say I’m making believe I’m seeing things you’d rather not see I’m ducking shadows and jumping at sounds While life goes on all around I’m not claiming there’s been a crime I just wish you could read my mind Ch) If you could read my mind, there might be no blame If you could read my mind, there might be no shame If you could read my mind We might be together again Hard times were never your thing You row your boat like living’s a dream You are the sun and I am the moon With a dark side that came out too soon Ch) If you could read my mind, there might be no blame If you could read my mind, there might be no shame If you could read my mind We might be together again We’ve seen better days, we tried and we were true Was that in spite of me or in spite of you Now that we’re facing good-bye I just wish you could read my mind Ch) If you could read my mind, there might be no blame If you could read my mind, there might be no shame If you could read my mind We might be together again

Ghost of Us by Judy Banker Caught a glimpse of you today Sitting in our old café I closed my eyes, I knew it couldn’t be It’s just my mind playing tricks on me Heard a laugh I’d come to know In a row behind me at our show I shook my head I knew it couldn’t be It’s just my mind playing tricks on me just my mind playing tricks on me Ch) The ghost of us keeps haunting me Spilling round each thing I see Telling lies I believe Every once in a while I forget about your smile Catch my breath, maybe I’m sailing free But it’s just my mind playing tricks on me Just my mind playing tricks on me Ch) The ghost of us keeps haunting me Spilling round each thing I see Telling lies I believe

I Don’t Want To Get Over You by Judy Banker It used to be just you and me When I look at you now you don’t see If we’ve nothing left to say Let’s roll it back to yesterday I had a dream the other night You were here and all was right Dancing in our boots and skin Not giving a damn who’s looking in. ch) I don’t want to get over you I don’t want to get over you I don’t want to get over you I don’t want to get over you We don’t have to watch it go How it ends we don’t need to know We can blame it on the stars And live just fine with a couple scars Love can be cruel I’m begging you to be kind Send me no flowers Just don’t leave me behind See this pyre of rags and bones Torch it high and let’s go home And bid farewell to our crooked views Cuz I don’t wanna get over you ch) I don’t want to get over you I don’t want to get over you I don’t want to get over you I don’t want to get over you
