Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world.  For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously ferverent rants of rebellion.  Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.

One Headlight

The Wallflowers

So long ago

I don't remember when

That's when they say

I lost my only friend

Well they said she died easy

Of a broken heart disease

As I listened through

The cemetery trees

I seen the sun comin' up

At the funeral at dawn

The long broken arm

Of human law

Now it always seemed such a waste

She always had a pretty face

So I wondered how she

Hung around this place

Hey hey hey

Come on try a little

Nothin’ is forever

There's got to be somethin’ better than

In the middle

But me and Cinderella

We put it all together

We can drive it home

With one headlight

She said it's cold

It feels like Independence Day

And I can't break away

From this parade

But there's got to be an openin’

Somewhere here in front of me

Through this maze of

Ugliness and greed

And I seen the sun up ahead

At the county line bridge

Sayin' all there's good

And nothingness is dead

We'll run until she's out of breath

She ran until there's nothin' left

She hit the end

It's just her window ledge

Hey hey hey

Come on try a little

Nothin’ is forever

There's got to be somethin’ better than

In the middle

But me and Cinderella

We put it all together

We can drive it home

With one headlight

Well this place is old

It feels just like a beat up truck

I turn the engine

But the engine doesn't turn

Well it smells of cheap wine and cigarettes

This place is always such a mess

Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn

I'm so alone

And I feel just like somebody else

Man I ain't changed

But I know I ain't the same

But somewhere here in between

The city walls of dyin' dreams

I think her death

It must be killin' me

Hey

Hey

Hey hey hey hey hey

Come on try a little

Nothin’ is forever

There's got to be somethin’ better than

In the middle

But me and Cinderella

We put it all together

We can drive it home

With one headlight

6^th Avenue Heartache

The Wallflowers

Sirens ring

The shots ring out

A stranger cries

Screams out loud

I had my world

Strapped against my back

I held my hands

Never knew how to act

And the same black line

That was drawn on you

Was drawn on me

And now it's drawn me in

6th Avenue heartache

Now walkin' home

On those streets

The river winds

Move my feet

Subway steam

Like silhouettes in dreams

They stood by me

Stood by me

Stood by me

Just like moonbeams

And the same black line

That was drawn on you

Was drawn on me

And now it's drawn me in

Yeah

6th Avenue heartache

6th Avenue heartache

And the same black line

That was drawn on you

Was drawn on me

And now it’s drawn me in

Yeah

6th Avenue heartache

6th Avenue heartache

Look out the window

Down upon that street

And gone like a midnight

Was that man

But I see his six strings

Laid against that wall

And all his things

They all look so small

I got my fingers crossed

On a shooting star

Just like me

Just moved on

And the same black line

That was drawn on you

Was drawn on me

And now it's drawn me in

6th Avenue heartache

6th Avenue heartache

And the same black line

That was drawn on you

Was drawn on me

And now it’s drawn me in

Yeah

6th Avenue heartache

6th Avenue heartache

And now it’s drawn me in

And the same black line

That was drawn on you

Was drawn on me

And now it's drawn me in

Yeah

6th Avenue heartache

6th Avenue heartache
