Last 03:42
Here I go, only taking what I know and a little hope Wish you’d let me be free, oh but you won’t… no you won’t Well I’m gone, a right turn away from all your wrongs I really tried, but you’re never satisfied And you have pushed me over Falling fast // Now I wonder Where I stand // I come last // I come last Gave my heart, it should’ve been yours from the start Oh the lies, they never end it seems you’ve lost your mind, yet again To think you call those people friends, you pretend And you have pushed me over Falling fast // now I wonder Why I come last Step away, that’s close enough for today Oh won’t you back off, and see What you’ve lost Left me under Falling fast // Now I wonder Where I stand Left me under Falling fast // Now I wonder Where I stand // I come last // I come last Here I go // Here I go Now I’m gone

The Judge 04:46
All rise for Justice Challenger, Ready to abuse her power, My lady, my lady The court calls me a child, At seventeen that drives a girl wild, I contend, I contend, won’t offend I’ve been served a strange fate, Five years I must wait, ’Til I see you, see you The sheriff sighs in sympathy, Lawyers look on smugly, Defence rests, the defence rests I walked in // Wondering Will I have a chance? I walked in // Wondering Will I have a chance? Isn’t it enough I’ve lost my lover and friend? Isn’t it enough I won’t see my father again? Officer won’t arrest me, But the law says apprehend if seen, It’s a warning, warning Doctor sells me lies, Cheques only cover the court-side It’s pay as you say, say as you pay I walked out // With no doubt Everything had changed I walked out // With no doubt Everything had changed Isn’t it enough you took my heroes away? Isn’t it enough your words forced me to go astray? The Judge protects the reputation, The Judge avoids truth, The Judge provides injury to me, Can’t you see what’s better for me? Will I be defended? Will I feel offended? Defend me

Forget Me 03:07
Father, father what can I say? Your last prayer was but a whisper, I was there but still I swear that, You forgot me What shall I remember? Got your news in September, Left me in stormy weather, I was there but unaware and, You forgot me But I wanted to run free // I wanted to be heard not just seen I would sit on the roof just to breathe Just to breathe // Just to breathe You never met my first love, Never saw me turn him away, I let him go and rightly so he found a girl worth remembering And he forgot me But I wanted him to set me free // I wanted him to be an endless opportunity I would write him on the road just to believe Just to believe // Just to believe You’d like the man I’ve found now, He takes my fears by the hand, But I’ve come to expect that everyone forgets So I’m waiting // I’m waiting Will he forget me? Will he forget me?

Lived in the snow too long, In this valley town, Fighting things that went wrong, Getting knocked down Bags outside, I won’t stay, No note will be left where I lay I don’t think I’ll be back here again, Spring has finally lent me the road I gotta go on now and stay free Don’t know where I’ll go Don’t know who I’ll be I never know But I think it will come to me // Yeah I think it will come to me Mister take me South oh to my Canadian California Gotta cut my hair, change what I wear Maybe no one will find me, Could I be that lucky? I don’t think I’ll be back here again, Spring has finally lent me the road I gotta go on now and stay free Don’t know where I’ll go Don’t know who I’ll be I never know But I think it will come to me // Yeah I think it will come to me Home is the road // Home is the road Well out here in the rockies, I spend my days selling pretty stones and pleasantries, I left life in the winter town Don’t know where to next Don’t know if it’s best That I become such a mystery, such a mystery
