Matthew Perryman Jones - O, Virginia Lyrics
O Virginia
You been trailin' off too fast
You laid your dress down
In that old Kentucky grass
You said your baby was the prince of Persia
All he did was worship you
Do you remember what your daddy told you
When he would h...
Matthew Perryman Jones - Stay Behind Me Lyrics
Are we under the gun?
Caught in the fire?
Am I getting it backwards now?
Did we lose the race
Or the desire?
We keep fading in and out
Stay beside me
Right here by me
I will be there with you
I will be there with you...
Matthew Perryman Jones - Only You Lyrics
How can I forget you
When memories come and go
You're all I've ever wanted
You're all I've ever known
Can I be happy
Living with your ghost?
The pictures tell the story
I took them off the wall
It's hard enough to ...
Matthew Perryman Jones - A Song For Canaan Lyrics
Inside the night
Across the holy river
When you arrived
A promise was delivered
I waited for you
Dreaming away all the while
How I adore you
My lovely little child
For you I'll fight
I'd face a thousand armies

Matthew Perryman Jones - Meghan's Song Lyrics
Baby sleep in peace tonight
Angels bend to watch the sight
And may your dreams be sweet tonight
Dance the sky in sweet delight
And know I love you
I always will
It's my favorite story
I have to tell
And Baby, let&...
Matthew Perryman Jones - One Thing More Lyrics
What really matters
When it's all been said
And don't know what we've done
Climbing the ladder
With a tighter fist
Looking out for number one
I will not let you drag me down
CHORUS
Maybe it's all not enou...
Matthew Perryman Jones - O Theo Lyrics
Under the silence of water
Into a sky full of birds
Out from the land of our fathers
I am falling on your words
Oh...

I made a bed out of hay
They paid me a handful of money
I gave it all away...
Matthew Perryman Jones - Out Of Reach Lyrics
You're always bound to fall
There's nothing you can do
The weight of gravity begins
To pull you down again
So what are you to do now?
Stuck between the hope and doubt
You get so close to clarity
Makes you question ev...
Matthew Perryman Jones - Stones From The Riverbed Lyrics
Silently tracing the cracks
Through the chaos
Grieving what cannot come back
What's gone away
Feeling the weight
Of sorrow's night
You can't find your way through the black
So you pray for light
Everyone'...
Matthew Perryman Jones - Homage For The Suffering Lyrics
Homage for the suffering
Here's to you when the rain hits too hard
When the battles that you fight just leave you scarred
When you're tired to the bone
And you've got no strength to move on
Here's to you when t...
Matthew Perryman Jones - Looking For You Again Lyrics
Your breakdown was easy to see
And it took you away, further from me
Sifting through mishaps and photographs
I think of you, much more than I should
More than I should
And I'm falling down
Like it's holy ground
I...
Matthew Perryman Jones - Amelia Lyrics
Sad like a melody, full like a symphony
Striking a chord
Standing here, looking blind
Stumble around to find
My way through your door
Do you wanna know...why?
Do you wanna know...why?
Hungry as starving fire, killing to ...
Matthew Perryman Jones - Poisoning The Well Lyrics
Jilted tongues
In sorrow sleep
Leaving long hard words
To lie in deep
Follow home
The awful truth
Feel the silent loss
Of guileless youth
A dead man walks
A crowded street
Into the place the grand
Assembly meets
Guil...
Matthew Perryman Jones - Satellites Lyrics
It's not what it's meant to be
All of the longing and the distance in between
Oh I want you
Living inside a dream
Is there an ending
Cause I can barely breathe
Oh I want you
Here with me
Someday
The story comes t...

My darling

Don't fall in love
Don't fall in ...
Matthew Perryman Jones - Hard Times Lyrics
Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears
While we all sup sorrow with the poor
There's a song it will linger forever in our ears
Oh! Hard Times come again no more

It's the song, and the sigh ...
Matthew Perryman Jones - I Can't Get You Out Of My Mind Lyrics
I found you
In a crowd of faces
Watched you slip
Through the spaces
I didn't get your name
You got away
I can't explain
Why my heart is breaking
One memory aching
I want to hold you now
Somehow
Ohh, oh-...
Jeremy Messersmith - Virginia Lyrics

Matthew Perryman Jones - Until The Dawn Appears Lyrics
I've been turning up the stones in my own discontent
And I'm finding out where all my hidden sorrows went

Tami Neilson - Miss Jones Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Big mouth, talkin' sass
Shinin' with her big brass
Haters, they can kiss her ass
Before the door hits it
Drop the mic, don't care
Bring the fire everywhere
Tell her no, don't you dare
The girl i...
Matthew Perryman Jones - Out Of The Shadows Lyrics
I can't sleep in this room
Still so far from finding you

The piles of dirt they cover me
Don't let go

We can crawl out out of the shadows
Don't let go
Don&#...
Matthew Perryman Jones - Echoes Of Eden Lyrics
I've been driving
On the highway
That leads to my hometown
All the memories
Buried inside me
I'm diggin' up like treasure in the ground
My father told me

To keep on finding faces in the clou...
Matthew Perryman Jones - Lovers In Another Life Lyrics
I wake in the garden
Sleeping on a bed of stone
In the shadows that darken
A heart without a home
And you push me and pull me
I keep coming back for you

Matthew Perryman Jones - All The King's Horses Lyrics
She finally broke it
I won't cry
No, I won't cry
She whispered the verdict
I won't fight
No, I won't fight
Wars like these
Come to wreck and waste
The years we build
We can't replace
Retell...
Silver Jews - Smith & Jones Forever Lyrics
Are you honest when no one's looking?
Can you summon honey from a telephone?
They sat there with their hooks in the water
And their mustaches caked with airplane glue
O come let us adore them
California overboard

Matthew Perryman Jones - Until The Last Falling Star Lyrics
If there was a chance
That we could be lovers
I'd write you a book
Of handwritten letters
And burn them all up to the end
Just to start over again
If there was a chance
That we could be lovers
I'd learn how to d...
Matthew Perryman Jones - The Angels Were Singing Lyrics
Talking to stone
Listening to birds
With no more to say
I kissed my fingers
And touched the red dirt
Wandering away
Through the moon-colored field
My heart was a weight
Of rage and sorrow
That longed to be healed
Then I ...
Matthew Perryman Jones - Waking The Dead Lyrics
The sun is sinking
And I'm still dragging this bag of bones
Like a home-sick beggar
With a rockstar swagger
And a heart of stone
My feet are on the riverbed
My hands are far from innocent
Have mercy on my soul
[Ch...
Matthew Perryman Jones - Breaking Out The Windows Lyrics
Rage won't lie that far beneath
Something sinister that runs through your veins
Can you feel it burning out the seams
And has innocence forgotten your name
Do I look like a saint?
Until the curtain rolls
Talking stops for t...
Matthew Perryman Jones - Sleeping With A Stranger Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Caught in a wildfire
Choking on the flames of a strange pyre
The ashes of a dream
Feed the fantasy
Locked on the inside
Tangled up in chains
And the crazy lies
Terrified and tame
In silence we escape
[Chorus...
Matthew Perryman Jones - I Won't Let You Down Again Lyrics
So many ways to find a lonely lover
They're the first ones to confess
Stuck between the honest day
And the secrets in your chest
I swear you're dancing with
The fallen angels in the dark
Every step will get
Your hear...
Matthew Perryman Jones - Sinking Wishes Lyrics
Sinking wishes in the water

Fumbling to the floor to wait
What follows now

Only wishes wait
I'm taking a chance to find
What's real inside
I'm taking a chance this time

Matthew Perryman Jones - Careless Man Lyrics
I want it all, I want everything
I want the drug and the remedy

Please forgive me, I didn't hear a word you ...
Matthew Perryman Jones - Keep It On The Inside Lyrics
I'm behind the wheel
Cold and stoned
The spirit is heavy

But a slave I'm bound
I lost myself
On a long way down

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, let&...

The Highballers - Virginia Lyrics
Well, I watched you as you walked into the room
You didn't know that I was there

Look me in the eyes

Are you just gonna walk away
If it a...
Matthew Perryman Jones - Canción De La Noche Lyrics
I've said enough
The writing's on the wall
A broken cup
Missing pieces from the fall
All the cradled desire
Cold, starved roving eyes
As I wander in silent alibis
(Carry on)
Is it your ghost
That keeps hiding und...
Matthew Perryman Jones - Land Of The Living Lyrics
Into the land of the living
Black bleeds orange into blue
