(all songs by Randall Bramblett, except where noted)

1. Disconnected 

I wish you didn't crack me up  
singin in the shower 
I wish I didn't love your voice so much 

if I didn't know the way 
you bitch about the weather 
maybe I wouldn't feel so cold today 

and I miss you when the wind is blowing 
miss you when the fog is rolling in 
miss you when the clouds are turning grey 
even in my darkest dreaming never turned away 

heard you took easy job 
something to sustain you  
it gives you time to think of other things 

I wonder how you're holdin up 
staying out of trouble 
playin your guitar with the broken string 

and I’m waiting on the corner for you 
lookin out in all directions  
stoppin every stranger on the street 
even in my darkest dreaming never thought we'd be 

disconnected... 

and I miss you when the leaves are falling 
and I miss you when the air is turning cool 
miss you when the sky is blushing red 
and the way the light is streaming nothing can be said

2. Witness For Love 
(randall bramblett and bob jones)

you are my partner in crime 
so we broke a few rules 
we didn’t break enough 

you are my witness for love 
testify it’s true     
no one has set you up 

never to be let down 
understanding now     
I have finally found 
my witness for love  

the doors are open tonight 
set this prisoner free 
I’ve been confined enough 
with just a wink of your eye 
I got the light I need 
I have been blind enough 
     
seems like such a waste 
why is it so hard to face? 
no one can replace 
my witness for love

 3.  Thirsty Ground 

(by randall bramblett and davis causey)

thirsty ground and an empty sky 
holdin out hope and I don’t quite know why 
dried up stream that used to flow 
you got somewhere else to go---alright 

wrung out cloud hangin over head 
you can’t fly you’re made of lead 
god in heaven with a rolling pin 
is chasin you around again 
but you don’t cry 

last night I dreamed of you 
and all your love came through 
your face was wet with rain 
and all the barren world was green 

thirsty ground and an empty sky 
miss you more as the days go by 
say I’m walkin through the pain 
been down the road and back again 
and it’s over 

chorus

4.  End of the Line

(by randall bramblett and davis causey) 

heaven above and nothin below 
plenty of time and nowhere to go 
these bitter tears make sweet sweet wine 
and I’m drinkin my fill at the end of the line 

just how I got here I really can’t tell 
from the arms of an angel down to earth I fell 
busted and broken and stumbling blind 
I found my way to the end of the line 

you don’t know when you fall in love 
just where the road will end 
but you’ll find out when you’re all alone 
and the tears start rollin in 

I took a train down the lonely tracks 
I saw my dreams fade into black 
now I dry my eyes and do my time 
‘cause someday we’ll meet at the end of the line

5. The Grand Scheme of Things

maybe life’s a secret  
that can never be told 
many speak with certainty 
but no one knows 

yes, I’ve been staring into the light 
only to come away blind 
the love we were sharing 
I guess it was all in my mind 

in the grand scheme of things 
maybe we’re only tears in the rain 
we’ll meet in the wild flowing stream 
in the grand scheme of things 

yeah, I’m always restless 
and I can’t settle down 
I don’t know if I believe in solid ground 

out of my window nothing is clear 
I guess I’m not ready to see 
till I stop crying I guess that’s the way  
it will be 

chorus

6. Blue Blue World

(by randall bramblett and jason slatton) 

cold cold drops of rain are falling 
and you jar my memory 
as you drift up out of nowhere 
a phone begins to ring 

now this empty room is crowded 
full of longing and regret 
and I find myself counting 
all the things I’ve left 
all the things I’ve left behind me 

will you take this silver lining 
wear it like a string of pearls 
will you walk again beside me 
in the blue blue world 

days of noise and distraction 
all this ringing in my ears 
stringin thoughts across the faded page 
doesn’t bring you here 
doesn’t bring you here at all 

chorus 

keep your picture on the dashboard 
snapshot framed in black and white 
you’re on a dark road washed with rain 
are you listening to me 
are you listening to me now 

chorus

7. Sacred Harmony

it’s not a wall that's holding me here 
it’s not a prison and it hasn’t been no crime 
I will say it is the pain in the faces of them all 

it’s not a grave standing over me 
not the study of years and years gone by 
not the efforts of a flight  
bent hard against the ground 

sacred harmony blessed mystery 
won’t you sing it  
sing it in church for me 

in the distance a woman and a violin 
a child a home on a raging river bend 
oh what question what mighty trial 
can you devise to turn my eyes 

in the grey and the haunted winter ground 
lives a singer who has never made a sound 
but a heart was just heard  
beating loud beneath the snow  
and I want to know 

chorus

8. Driving to Montgomery

(by randall bramblett and davis causey)

every headlight’s blast lights up your face 
and the highway’s shining in the rain 
and we’re driving to montgomery  
where the times have changed 

said we’re going back down  
where we came from 
thunder rolling just like the beat of a drum 
and we are driving to montgomery 
where the times have changed 

we broke out of the smothering heat 
up to where we could be free 
but no one ever told us  
just how cold a place could be 

as the billboards rise and the miles fly by 
and the shadows of the night slip away 
we are driving to Montgomery  
where the times have changed 

everybody wants another hour 
everyone could use another day 
but there ain’t no bringin back all the lost time 
just let it fade away 

from the waiting rooms to the crowded trains 
you can hear the bells of freedom ring 
and we are driving to montgomery  
where the times have changed

9. Where You Come From

(by randall bramblett and jason slatton)

takin the box off the shelf 
pullin the ribbon from around the paper 
promises never to be broken 

holding them up the to light 
turnin them over and over slowly 
the sun plays through  
words that can’t be spoken 

close your eyes and breathe a sigh 
all your fears are only lies 
there is only love where you come from 

loose shutter taps against the house 
like a child wanting your attention 
the empty chair is only there to taunt you 

breathin the words off the page 
blowin them into the air around you 
a cloud of smoke  
and all the ghosts that haunt you 

chorus 

now you stand in the doorway shaking 
cause it’s all just a dream 
and you’re the one who has to wake up 

chorus

10. In The Meantime

there’s a big ole hole in this world of mine 
and I’m doing my best to fill it 
but I can’t seem to drink enough wine 
to carry me through in the meantime 

I’m dreamin dreams of my used to be 
tellin everybody I’ll be just fine 
one day I know she’ll come back to me 
welcome to life in the meantime 

there’s a face in the mirror  
that I’d swear was mine 
but now I hardly know it 
love this to light up these bloodshot eyes 
there’s been too many tears in the meantime 

chorus

 11. You Think You Know Someone

you feel a shiver runnin down your spine  
and you can’t shake the shadows  
that are fillin up your mind  
you know that somethin’s different 
and you should have seen the signs      

you think you know someone 
well, you don’t 
  
you sit down at the table  
where you sat a million times 
there’s a face and a voice 
and words that just come floating by     
you always thought you’d be the one  
who couldn’t be surprised 
  
you think you know someone 
well, you don’t 

just because you share the same space 
just because you breathe the same air  
just because you made the same promise  
just because they’ve always been there 
just because you love somebody  
more than you ever knew   
doesn’t mean you really  
want to know the truth 
you think you know someone 
well, you don’t 
         
the beads of sweat fallin down your brow 
and all you really want to do  
is fall asleep somehow 
you can’t believe the one you loved 
is just a stranger now 

12. One More Rose

 (by randall bramblett and bob jones)

here’s one more rose  
before the summer’s end 
here’s one more dream  
to turn us all around again 

just one more night  
will bring the hunter’s eyes 
and a thousand spears  
will fall from the sky 

here’s one more look  
on the faces of my friends 
here’s one more word  
I know I’ll feel much better then 

here’s one more rose
