Nickel Creek - Where Is Love Now? lyrics

If I could wait here for you,

Without hope or knowing what to do…

Watch the light fade away,

Without fear or knowing what to say…

Cry the tears from my eyes.

Leave me here long enough to realize.

Where is love now?

Where is love now,

Out here in the dark?

If I should hold all my dreams,

Through the night of the way life sometimes seems…

And if I can't see which way to go,

I'll stay lost in silence 'til I know.

Cry the tears from my eyes.

And leave me here long enough to realize.

Where is love now?

Where is love now,

Out here in the dark?

Cry the tears from my eyes.

Leave me here long enough to realize.

Where is love now?

Where is love now?

Where is love now?

Where is love now,

Out here in the dark?

Out here in the dark?

Nickel Creek - You Don't Know What's Going On lyrics

Well, it's time for me to live

The good life on the road.

And to forgive her

For the lies that she sold me.

We were falling in love and that's what you do.

I didn't know and I feel like a fool

Now watching her go.

'Cause I played by the rules

I guess we were above.

And that's what I get for trying my best

To believe in her,

To believe I could turn it around.

To keep bailing out the water while the ship went down.

To keep calling her name when we started to drown.

You can tell me I should have known better.

You can ask me why

I didn't see it coming

'Til it got inside me.

You can say it's all right.

You can think it's all wrong,

But you don't know what's going on.

You don't know what's going on.

So the road led to your door.

The good life ain't the good life anymore

If it doesn't include you,

If you send me away.

'Cause you don’t believe I tried my best

To believe in her,

To believe I could turn it around.

To keep bailing out the water while the ship went down.

To keep calling her name when we started to drown.

You can tell me I should have known better.

You can ask me why

I didn't see it coming

'Til it got inside me.

You can think it's all wrong.

I can hope it's all right.

But I don't know what's going on.

I just know that I tried and I tried and I'll try for you

If you want me to,

If you can be the girl who

Believes in me.

Who believes I can turn it around.

Who keeps bailing out the water while the ship goes down.

Who keeps calling my name when we're starting to drown.

I'll never tell you you should have known better,

Never ask you why

You didn't see it coming

'Til it got inside you.

It can turn out all right.

Or it can turn out all wrong.

We just don't know what's going on.

I don't know what's going on.

You don't know what's going on.

You don't know what's going on.

Nickel Creek - Love Of Mine lyrics

Love of mine, when you're born

I tell myself that you'll never die

And I throw my arms

Around the girl who finds you,

'Cause the world is rosier

Through your eyes

I don't suppose you caught her name?

Never mind; I'll just name her

After you, love of mine

And fashion her into

A sweet, long-legged icon,

Making our prayers holier

Satisfied, love, that she gave us to each other

The only thing she's done for me

That you could never do

And for it, she'll always be remembered

After she discovers I don't love her

Half as much as you

Love of mine, when she goes,

Why can't you stay here with me?

Love of mine, when you die

I tell myself that you never lived

Even as I curse the girl

Who says she'll find someone worthier

Of the gift—

Someone who wants to share it with her,

Far away from those who take it to have and to hoard

Now I'm stuck here trying to not remember;

For all these pretty words

It wasn't her, but love that I adored

It's my love I adore

Love of mine, when you're born

I tell myself that you'll never die

Nickel Creek - 21st Of May lyrics

It's time to bid this ol' world goodbye.

Oh, glory, time to fly away.

We'll meet our savior in the sky.

Hallelujah, the 21st of May.

Sinner, heed these words of mine

'Bout the coming Judgment Day.

Yes, the end is drawing nigh.

Hallelujah, the 21st of May.

They laughed while Noah built his boat,

Then cried when came the rain.

And they mock me now, but I will float

On the 21st of May.

Well, I've never been so sure

And I've never led no one astray.

'Cept in the fall of '94.

But Hallelujah, the 21st of May.

They laughed while Noah built his boat,

Then cried when came the rain.

And they mock me now, but I will float

On the 21st of May.

They mock me now, but I will float

On the 21st of May.

Hallelujah, the 21st of May.
