LYRICS

Anything Else But You (©Nate Richert. All rights reserved.)

Lately I been telling you
Lately I been feeling blue
Lately I don't know what to do
about anything else but you

Lately I been losing my hair
Lately I don't think it's fair
Lately I just cannot care
about anything else but you

Some things, they never change
They just stay the same
No matter how hard you throw down your hat
Now and then we get our way
Now and then we die
There just ain't nothing quite as certain as that

Lately I been losing sleep
All my roads, they seem too steep
Lately I don't wanna hear a peep
about anything else but you

Lately I been on the blink
about what's mightier, metal or the ink
Lately I just refuse to think
about anything else but you

Lately I been out of my head
Lately I just stay in bed
Lately I can't remember a word I've said
about anything else but you

Tonight (©Nate Richert. All rights reserved.)

Tonight
I will walk with you by my side
Tonight
I will hold your hand in mine
Tonight
I will have you in my eyes
Tonight
You won't be only on my mind

I'm so tired of our on and on and on and
I'm so glad that yesterday is gone 'cause

Tonight
I can let this feeling go
Tonight
Without you I am all alone
Tonight
I used to dream but now I'll know
Tonight
I can't wait to take it slow

The long, long wait is over
You are coming over
I've longed to live your loving ways
And say goodbye to all these passing days

Tonight
I will walk with you by my side
Tonight
I will hold your hand in mine
Tonight
I will have you in my eyes
Tonight
You won't be only on my mind

Each Other Blue (©Nate Richert. All rights reserved.)

It tears my heart to know you really miss me
tears come to my eyes when I see you've grown
in pictures sent to me by your mother
and when your tiny voice says "daddy" in the phone

I stay up nights thinking how much I miss you
I can't decide just what is right to do
your mother truly loves me and I love her too
but she and I only make each other blue

you must understand there are different kinds of love
some we seek but yours came from above
it's the only thing in this whole wide world that'll last forever
and it's the very best dream I can dream of

I stay up nights thinking how much I miss you
I can't decide just what is right to do
your mother truly loves me and I love her too
but she and I only make each other blue

In the long run things will be just fine
and in the short run I am sure to walk the line
of what ain't quite right and what is almost wrong
of where I'm lost and where I do belong

I stay up nights thinking how much I miss you
I must decide just what is right to do
your mother truly loves me and I love her too
but she and I only make each other blue

Halogen Moon (©Nate Richert. All rights reserved.)

I still owe you a ride
in that old car i fixed up
for you and me
times have changed
and it may seem strange
but won't drive the same
without you next to me
I know it's been a while
it can't be goin' out of style
it's all i've got
that reminds me of you
I'll toss that cigarette
right out the window
if you want me to
I've been saving shotgun for you

It took a lot of time
that old car i fixed up
for you and me
thoughts of us
in blood, sweat and tears
I's drenched
with every turning of a wrench
engine's fast, but you could always
stop me on a dime
that old rust bucket's
got a new coat of paint on it
and it shines like your eyes
underneath that halogen moon
won't you come and visit soon
'cause I've been saving shotgun for you

Everything livid has died
cradled in the ocean of your eyes
If these moonbeams should carry all our dreams
I want you in mine

(chorus)
In weal and woe
In weal and woe
be my weather-worn whip
In weal and woe

Stand beside, hands to guide me
Roll me up onto my feet
Does this darkness know it’s in my window
Will it draw you to be indiscreet

Chorus

Sweeping sadness, sore as sin
As ashes we take right to the wind
If these dark clouds forever be my shroud
I want you and your vow

Chorus

Dreams of You July 9 (©Nate Richert. All rights reserved.)

How I miss your loving lips
Your crooked little smile
You know it drives me wild
Makes me scream and shout
I'll be home late tonight
and though alone no doubt
I will have sweet dreams of you

where you cling to me
and I never will let go
and though the band went home
a 'Blue Moon' ago
We dance swaying oh so slow
as you hum that tune
when I have sweet dreams of you

Safe in my arms
I'll be lost in your eyes
How will we ever be blue?
I know I never need be
running 'round in the rain
and crying your name

You entrance me
That's for certain
It's entirely true
I will have sweet dreams of you

Safe in my arms
I'll be lost in your eyes
How will we ever be blue?
I know I never need be
running 'round in the rain
and crying your name

Ineradicably certain
Inevitably true
I will have sweet dreams of you

Let Me Be Your Fool (©Nate Richert. All rights reserved.)

Let me be your fool
honey, I'll be a fool for you
Let me be your fool
honey, I'll be a fool for you
Forget about asking,
honey, I'll do what you tell me to

Whatever you may wish
baby, that is my command
Whatever you may wish
baby, that is my command
If you'll only be my woman
I will be your ever-loving man

Let me be your fool
honey, I'll be a fool for you
Let me be your fool
honey, I'll be a fool for you
Forget about asking,
honey, I'll do what you tell me to

Love me, love me, say you do
and I will give you all my heart and soul
Love me, love me, say you do
and I will give you all my heart and soul
You may be the death of me
but I can see no better way to go

Let me be your fool
honey, I'll be a fool for you
Let me be your fool
honey, I'll be a fool for you
Forget about asking,
honey, I'll do what you tell me to

she's always under my skin
when will she be on the outside again
most of the time she's on my mind
the rest I think her in
and though she treats me so unkind
she won't get out from underneath my skin

once upon a time the sky above
pulled me up, I flew with her in her sweet love
now there's nothing but a thunder and a lightning strike
throwing down any man that she don't like

she's always under my skin
she may never be on the outside again
well, the way she treats me I disapprove
now I know I got nothing left to prove
but until I get this tattoo removed
she won't get out from underneath my skin

The Girl I Haven’t Met (©Nate Richert. All rights reserved.)

Forever I will love you, girl
Forever you will be my world
Forever I will be your pet
for you're the girl I haven't met

Your eyes will find me on the street
Your heart will warm me to my feet
My feet will follow where my heart will go
for you're the girl I'd like to know

None of my dreams will ever be
as rich as the ones I dream of you
But I could never sleep at night
If you thought I'd never love you right
I do

You're the girl I'd like to know
Your faintest tear will melt the snow
But that's a thing we'll never see
In the cold of winter on account of me

None of my dreams will ever be
as rich as the ones I dream of you
But I could never sleep at night
If you thought I'd never love you right
I do

Let me lay it on the line
Let me hold your hand in mine
To you I give my heart away
Nothing more I have to say

None of my dreams will ever be
as rich as the ones I dream of you
But I could never sleep at night
If you thought I'd never love you right
I do

Forever I will love you, girl
Forever you will be my world
Forever I will be your pet
for you're the girl I haven't met

Blissful Ignorance (©Nate Richert. All rights reserved.)

Oh blissful ignorance
only you treat me right
the more that I gain sense
the more I can't sleep at night
if I could just keep my eyes shut
with my head down in a hole
I could tell you I ain't a nut
with a heart black like coal

Oh blissful ignorance
I just don't want to know
save me from aggrievance
protect my soul
if you should ever leave me
it would leave me in tears
to exercise my own demons
and to face all my fears

Oh blissful ignorance
keep your children demure
build up a tall fence
around the good and the pure
I'd give up my horse-sense
although it may not be bright
Oh blissful ignorance
you are my guiding light
