LYRICS TO DAVE HAHN'S SONGS
UNTIL THEY'RE GONE
Words/Music DAVID G.HAHN
STARLIT NIGHTS, THROUGH PALE BLUE LIGHT
FROM THE LAMPPOSTS LINING ROADS THAT LED US HOME
A COOL BREEZE BLOWS, A MOONLIT GLOW
REFLECTING THROUGH THE TREES NOW ICED WITH SNOW
IT'S LIKE A THOUSAND MILES AWAY
NO ROADS LEFT BETWEEN US, NO WORDS ARE LEFT TO SAY
IT'S LIKE A THOUSAND MILES AWAY
PHOTOGRAPHS AND MEMORIES, ON PAGES LEFT TO FADE
...UNTIL THEY'RE GONE
SLEEPLESS HOURS, THROUGH THE TOWERS THE SHIMMERING OF CITY STREETS BELOW
MIDNIGHT AIR, WITH CAFE FARE SPENT SIFTING THROUGH THE SECRETS OF OUR SOULS
IT'S LIKE A THOUSAND MILES AWAY
THE HOPES WE GAVE TOMORROW, ARE FADING INTO GREY
IT'S LIKE A THOUSAND MILES AWAY
OLD GUITARS AND PHONOGRAPHS, ARE ALL THAT STILL REMAINS
...UNTIL THEY'RE GONE
MIDNIGHT STILL REMINDS ME OF YOU
HOW THE MOONLIGHT DANCES OFF THE STREETS IN HAUNTING SHADES OF BLUE
STILL THE DAY BREAKS IN AND FADES MY THOUGHTS OF YOU, AND THINGS WE'VE DONE
...UNTIL THEY'RE GONE
INSTRUMENTAL VERSE
IT'S LIKE A THOUSAND MILES AWAY
NO ROADS LEFT BETWEEN US, NO WORDS ARE LEFT TO SAY
IT'S LIKE A THOUSAND MILES AWAY
JUST PHOTOGRAPHS AND MEMORIES, ON PAGES LEFT TO FADE
...UNTIL THEY'RE GONE
MIDNIGHT STILL REMINDS ME OF YOU
HOW THE MOONLIGHT DANCES OFF THE STREETS IN HAUNTING SHADES OF BLUE
STILL THE DAY BREAKS IN AND FADES MY THOUGHTS OF YOU AND THINGS WE'VE DONE
...UNTIL THEY'RE GONE

HERE
Words/Music DAVID G. HAHN
I KEEP MY HANDS ON THE WHEEL I KEEP MY EYES TO THE FIELDS
THINKIN' BACK ON WHAT YOU SAID
HOW DREAMS ARE ONLY IN MY HEAD
HOW THAT REAL THINGS NEVER DISAPPEAR...
THEN YOU LEFT ME STANDING HERE
I KNOW THIS TOWN MUCH TOO WELL
THE OCEANS OF GRAIN CAST THEIR SPELL
ROOTING MEMORIES IN THE GROUND
THEY ENTANGLE IN YOUR MIND AND HOLD YOU DOWN
TRAPPING HOPE INSIDE OF FEAR...
SO I'LL LEAVE 'EM BURIED HERE
IT'S A LONG WAY TO PARADISE FROM MY DOOR
IT'S A LONG WAY BACK TO WHERE I'VE BEEN BEFORE
I'M LEAVING FOR A PLACE THAT'S FAR BEYOND THESE SHORES
WHERE MY EYES STAY CLEAR
THEN I'LL NEVER COME BACK HERE
I'VE GOT MY BACK AGAINST A WALL,
AND I'LL KEEP MY HEAD UP WHEN I FALL
AND THIS REFUGE THAT WAS HOME,
IS ONLY A PRISON NOW YOU'RE GONE
AND GOD IT'S HARD BREAKING CLEAR. WHY WOULD I EVER COME BACK HERE
AND GOD IT'S HARD BREAKING CLEAR. HOW COULD I EVER COME BACK HERE

I DON'T MIND
Words/Music DAVID G. HAHN
Got a little change in my pocket
Got a little dance in my shoes
Seems it's never enough
makin' ends meet gets so tough
that I find myself Knee-deep in the blues
But I don't mind, Oh no
how the seasons they come, they go
No, I don't mind, Oh no
'cause change is the only sure thing I know
Got a woman who loves me
Got a few children too
But, the children move on
and it won't be that long
before them angels come and take us home too
But I don't mind, Oh no
how the seasons they come, they go
No, I don't mind, Oh no
'cause change is the only sure thing I know
Wrote a few songs from my mem'ries
Wrote a few songs for my wife
But, I wrote this song
about all them things that go wrong
And how the Lord always seems to make them go right
But I don't mind, Oh no
how the seasons they come, they go
No, I don't mind, Oh no
'cause change is the only sure thing I know
Got a little change in my pocket
Got a little dance in my shoes
And I got this song
for all them things that go wrong
and lay me up Knee-deep in my blues
But I don't mind, Oh no
how the seasons they come, they go
No, I don't mind, Oh no
'cause change is the only sure thing I know

CONNECTIONS
Words/Music DAVID G. HAHN
SOME TIMES I LIKE TO DREAM A LOT, STAY IN BED FOR THAT EXTRA SHOT
OF FANTASY...IT'S THE TYPE OF WORK I DO.
WELL I WOKE LAST NIGHT IN A COLD HARD SWEAT,
SOMEONE ASKING FOR MY RENT,
SAID THEY'D SELL MY CLOTHES AND LEAVE ME SINGING IN THE NUDE.
WELL THERE MUST BE SOME CONNECTION BETWEEN ECSTASY. AND FEELIN' USED
MOMMA SAID SHE FELT SO PROUD,
FIRST NOTE THAT I SANG OUT LOUD,
AND MY DADDY...HE ALWAYS HOPED I'D CHANGE MY MIND.
WELL I COULDN'T HELP BUT SING THE BLUES,
'CAUSE EVERY DIME I MAKE GOES TO PAY MY DUES,
AND MY VOICE KEEPS GETTING DIMMER IN THE WIND.
WELL THERE MUST BE SOME CONNECTION BETWEEN INSANITY. AND THE TRADE I'M IN
WE PLAY OUR CARDS TO SUIT THE DECK, ANTE IN, LET'S WRITE A CHECK,
AND NEVER QUESTION WHAT IT IS WE'RE PLAYING FOR.
THE BIG ONE SAYS HE'S WAY TOO SMALL, THE RICH ONE SAYS "HELL, I WANT IT ALL",
AND THEY'LL DROP A LINE TO TELL YOU WHAT IT COSTS.
WELL THERE MUST BE SOME CONNECTION BETWEEN FOLLOWING. AND BEING LOST
I FOUND A LIGHT ON A COLD DARK NIGHT, WARMED MY HEART AND IT MADE IT RIGHT,
LEFT ME SINGIN'. LEFT ME DANCIN' IN THE RAIN.
MADE ME THINK ( I MUST CONFESS ) I'VE GOT IT MADE BEYOND THE REST
AND IT ONLY COST ME EVERYTHING I HAD.
WELL THERE MUST BE SOME CONNECTION BETWEEN SURRENDERING. AND REAL LOVE
DIFFERENT THINGS IN LIFE THAT MAKE NO SENSE,
BROUGHT TOGETHER IN A PRESENT TENSE,
SOMETIMES COME TOGETHER IN THE STRANGEST WAYS.
ONE MAN'S CEILING IS ANOTHER MAN'S FLOOR,
(A COMMON PHRASE YOU'VE HEARD BEFORE)
BUT IT'S THE ODDEST PLACE TO LOCATE YOUR FRONT DOOR.
WELL THERE MUST BE SOME CONNECTION BETWEEN PHILOSOPHY...
AND BEING BORED
...YOU KNOW I THINK I SEE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN PHILOSOPHY...
AND BEING BORED

ANGEL EYES
Words/Music DAVID G. HAHN
FROM A BENTWOOD ROCKER ON AN OAK WOOD FLOOR,
SHE'S WATCHING ALL THE WORLD THROUGH HER FRONT DOOR.
SHE LIKES THE RAIN... IT SHELTERS HER INSIDE HER PEACEFUL DREAMING
OF CHILDREN LAUGHING AND SUMMER NIGHTS. THE FADED MISTY MEMORIES OF DAYS
SHE'S LEFT BEHIND...THAT STILL LIVE ON INSIDE HER ANGEL EYES.
HER ANGEL EYES, BRINGING LIFE TO THIS RESTLESS WORLD.
HER ANGEL EYES, LIKE THE VOICE OF A LITTLE GIRL,
WHISPERING," COME WITH ME."
OH, HER ANGEL EYES.
A TAPESTRY OF CHESTNUT BROWN, THE FLOWING LOCKS OF HAIR UPON HER GOWN,
REFLECTS THE DAWN...THAT'S SHINING THROUGH HER WINDOW IN THE MORNING.
THE WINDS OF SORROW HAVE HELD HER SIGHT.
BUT, THROUGH HER SMILE SHE BRINGS A GENTLE LIGHT.
SHE'S LIKE THE SUN... HEAVEN'S ALWAYS IN HER ANGEL EYES.
HER ANGEL EYES, BRINGING LIFE TO THIS RESTLESS WORLD.
HER ANGEL EYES, LIKE THE VOICE OF A LITTLE GIRL,
WHISPERING," COME WITH ME."
OH, HER ANGEL EYES.
INSTRUMENTAL VERSE
HER ANGEL EYES, BRINGING LIFE TO MY RESTLESS WORLD
HER ANGEL EYES, LIKE THE VOICE OF A LITTLE GIRL,
WHISPERING, " COME WITH ME."
OH, HER ANGEL EYES.

Summerwind
Words/Music DAVID G. HAHN
Left Phoenix forty miles away
in a sixty-eight Chevrolet
Watched the moon rising,
silhouetting her windswept hair
Heading out to Santa Fe
never made it half the way
Got caught up in a desert wind
that led us through a dream somewhere
Soft blue light reflecting from her eyes
Singing soft and low we drove on through the night
Summerwind
Blowin deep inside my mind
Summerwind
Brings her round another time
While the years have come and gone by fast
Her memory reaches from my past
When each Summer comes
the night wind calls her back
Summerwind
Near the Superstition mountain range
after all these years it felt so strange
An old Impala by the roadside
like the one she used to drive back then
Then I hear her softly call my name
By the moonlight now I see her face
We smile and hold each other
for a moment time would never end
Soft blue light reflecting from her eyes
Singing soft and low we danced on through the night
Summerwind
Blowin deep inside my mind
Summerwind
Brings her round another time
While the years have come and gone by fast
Her memory reaches from my past
When each Summer comes
the night wind calls her back
Summerwind

ANGELINE
Words/Music DAVID G. HAHN
ANGELINE, THE EMBERS OF YOUR PAST BURN DEEP UNSEEN.
ANGELINE, THE CHILD YOU ONCE WERE IS LOST IN BROKEN DREAMS.
THERE'S SO MUCH LEFT UNDONE, WITH ALL THAT'S COME AND GONE.
BUT NOW THE RAIN IS COMING DOWN, GIRL
AND I CAN HEAR THAT DISTANT THUNDER ROLL.
AND THOUGH IT SEEMS UNCERTAIN NOW,
YOU'VE GOT TO FIND THE STRENGTH TO WEATHER THE STORM.
'CAUSE YOU'RE NEVER ALONE.
NO YOU'RE NEVER, EVER ALONE.
ANGELINE, A HIDDEN FIRE OF SADNESS HAUNTS YOUR DREAMS.
HAVE YOU SEEN, ALL THOSE WEARY HEARTS BEING DRIVEN TO THEIR KNEES?
OH, THERE'S NO PLACE LEFT TO HIDE, FROM ALL YOU'VE HELD INSIDE.
BUT NOW THE RAIN IS COMING DOWN, GIRL
AND I CAN HEAR THAT DISTANT THUNDER ROLL.
AND THOUGH IT SEEMS UNCERTAIN NOW,
YOU'VE GOT TO FIND THE STRENGTH TO WEATHER THE STORM,
'CAUSE YOU'RE NEVER ALONE.
NO YOU'RE NEVER, EVER ALONE.
ANGELINE, YOU KNOW A BEAUTIFUL REFLECTION LIES INSIDE.
LOOK FOR ME OH, WHEN IT'S DARKEST I'LL BE RIGHT BESIDE.
YOU KNOW THAT I'LL BE ALWAYS HERE, THROUGH THE PAIN AND TEARS.
BUT NOW THE RAIN IS COMING DOWN GIRL
AND I CAN HEAR THAT DISTANT THUNDER ROLL
AND THOUGH IT SEEMS UNCERTAIN NOW,
YOU'VE GOT TO FIND THE STRENGTH TO WEATHER THE STORM
FOR YOU'RE NEVER ALONE.
NO YOU'RE NEVER, EVER...YOU ARE NEVER ALONE.

FALLING FOR YOU
Words/Music DAVID G. HAHN
MUST BE NOW A THOUSAND TIMES OR SO,
I'VE WATCHED THE MOONLIGHT COMING IN FROM MY WINDOW,
AS SOFTLY IT'S TRACED FAMILIAR LINES OF YOUR FACE.
WARM SUMMER BREEZE COMES FLOWING THROUGH THE ROOM.
LYIN' NEXT TO YOU I KNOW THAT IT'S SOON,
I'M GONNA BE LOST IN YOUR LOVE… I DON'T WANNA BE FOUND.
THROUGH ALL THE CHANGES OUR LOVE'S BEEN THROUGH,
YOU KNOW THAT YOU COULD ALWAYS DRAW ME CLOSE INTO YOU.
AND NOW THERE'S NEVER BEEN A TIME THAT I CAN RECALL
WHEN YOU COULDN'T CAUSE ME TO FALL... AGAIN I'M...
FALL-ING. YOU KNOW I'M.... FALL-ING. AGAIN I'M FALLING FOR YOU. AGAIN I'M...
FALL-ING. YOU KNOW I'M.... FALL-ING. AGAIN I'M FALLING FOR YOU.
FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOU.
WHEN WE'RE SITTING ON OUR PORCH IN THE EVENING LIGHT.
WATCH THAT SUNSET FADING SLOWLY TO NIGHT.
I LOVE THE LOOK IN YOUR EYES, WHEN EVERYTHING'S ALRIGHT.
YOU WHISPER SOFTLY TO ME WAY DOWN LOW,
SIMPLE THINGS THAT MAKE IT SO EASY TO KNOW
THAT I'M AT HOME IN YOUR ARMS. OH, I JUST CAN'T LET YOU GO.
THOUGH ALL THE CHANGES OUR LOVE'S BEEN THROUGH,
YOU KNOW THAT YOU COULD ALWAYS DRAW ME CLOSE INTO YOU.
AND NOW THERE'S NEVER BEEN A TIME THAT I CAN RECALL
WHEN YOU COULDN'T CAUSE ME TO FALL. AGAIN I'M...
FALL-ING. YOU KNOW I'M.... FALL-ING. AGAIN I'M FALLING FOR YOU AGAIN I'M...
FALL-ING. YOU KNOW I'M.... FALL-ING. AGAIN I'M FALLING FOR YOU.
FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOU.

IF I GET WEAK
Words/Music DAVID G. HAHN
I TOLD MYSELF LONG AGO, I'D NEVER BE THE BRUNT OF A JOKE.
NO, I'D NEVER LET THEM BRING ME TO MY KNEES.
AND THOUGH I HAVE BEEN BEATEN, SOMETIMES IT'S LEFT ME BLEEDIN'
OH, BUT DON'T YOU PITY ME... IF I GET WEAK.
I SAID A VOW LONG AGO. I GAVE MY HEART TO TOUCH HER SOUL.
NOW THROUGH THE YEARS I'VE SEEN THAT LOVE AIN'T EASY.
SHE KNOWS HOW MUCH I NEED HER. I'D DO ANYTHING JUST TO KEEP HER
OH, IT SCARES ME SO TO THINK... WHAT IF I GET WEAK?
IF I GET WEAK,I WOULD STUMBLE THROUGH THIS DARK HOUSE ON MY KNEES.
I'D BE BETTER LEFT ALONE. BUT I'D STILL NEED SOMEONE TO REASSURE ME.
COULD I EVEN FIND THE STRENGTH TO BELIEVE... IF I GET WEAK?
I MADE A CHOICE LONG AGO. LORD I KNOW DEEP IN MY SOUL,
I WOULD ALWAYS FOLLOW WHERE YOU LEAD.
AND THOUGH I STILL BELIEVE, SEEMS TIME HAS LEFT ME BLEEDIN'
OH WOULD YOU STILL CARRY ME... IF I GET WEAK?
IF I GET WEAK, I WOULD STUMBLE THROUGH THIS DARK HOUSE ON MY KNEES.
I'D BE BETTER LEFT ALONE. BUT I'D STILL NEED SOMEONE TO REASSURE ME.
COULD I EVEN FIND THE STRENGTH TO BELIEVE, IF I GET WEAK?

AS THE SUNSET FADES AWAY
Words/Music DAVID G. HAHN
WE WERE YOUNG, WE LIVED, WE LOVED, WE LAUGHED, AND WE BOTH CRIED.
SOME YEARS WERE HARD, BUT NEVER SO HARD THAT OUR LOVE COULD NOT SURVIVE.
THE WINDS OF CHANGE ARE BLOWING SOFTLY THROUGH MY MIND,
CARRYING THIS UNDYING LOVE ACROSS THE SANDS OF TIME.
SO I'LL GROW OLD WITH YOU.
LORD KNOWS THAT I COULD NEVER LOSE MY LOVE FOR YOU.
THE MEMORIES WE HOLD NOW ARE LIKE THE MORNING OF A DAY.
COME THE EVENING WE'LL BE SITTING SIDE BY SIDE...
AS THE SUNSET FADES AWAY.
WE'VE LIVED THROUGH DOUBT, STILL WE BELIEVE.
WE'VE SEEN AND TOUCHED THE SON, EVEN WHEN WE FAIL.
WE'VE COUNTED ALL THE COST FOR WHAT'S BEEN LOST
IT SEEMS SO SMALL WITH ALL WE'VE GAINED.
WHEN THAT AUTUMN SUN SETS SLOWLY ON OUR LAST HORIZON,
HAND IN HAND WE'LL REACH TO GRASP THE DAWN WE'LL SEE SOMEDAY...
SO I'LL GROW OLD WITH YOU.
LORD KNOWS THAT I COULD NEVER LOSE MY LOVE FOR YOU.
THE MEMORIES WE HOLD NOW ARE LIKE THE MORNING OF A DAY.
COME THE EVENING WE'LL BE SITTING SIDE BY SIDE...
SO
I'LL GROW OLD WITH YOU.
LORD KNOWS THAT I COULD NEVER LOSE MY LOVE FOR YOU.
THE MEMORIES WE HOLD NOW ARE LIKE THE MORNING OF A DAY.
COME THE EVENING WE'LL BE SITTING SIDE BY SIDE,
AS THE SUNSET FADES AWAY.

Momma I'm a gun
Words/Music DAVID G. HAHN
I was raised in the best of times
War was ending and the color line was fading
At least in the movies
Second runt on the food chain roll
Hold your peace until the thunder rolls
and these memories
come flooding in like nightmares
Momma I'm a gun
'Cause thats how you made me
Momma I'm a gun
See where it's led me
Out here on the run
Burning like the sun
Momma I'm a gun
Broken bottles on the railroad tracks
scattered ashes in the Christmas wrap
still you wonder
What'll be there by morning
Shots get fired oh and words get said
Listen to the music playing in your head
until this silence
Drowns you like slumber
Momma I'm a gun
'Cause thats how you made me
Momma I'm a gun
See where it's led me
Out here on the run
Burning like the sun
Momma I'm a gun
Given half a chance I'd lay me down
Stab this trigger in the fallow ground at my feet
Notions come and go
But, this brand is burned so deep
that I can barely feel the heat
from this emptied chamber
I was raised in the best of times
War was ending and the color line was fading
At least in the movies

BE HERE NOW
Words/Music DAVID G. HAHN
BE HERE NOW.
DON'T LET THE SHADOWS OF THE PAST COME BETWEEN US BOTH SOMEHOW.
WON'T YOU BE, BE HERE NOW.
WHAT'S BEEN IS GONE, THE TIES OF YESTERDAY HAVE BEEN UNDONE.
I'M STILL HERE, AS I WAS THEN.
I'VE SEEN YOU THROUGH THE TEARS AND THE SCARS THAT JUST WON'T MEND.
AND YES I KNOW HOW IT'S BEEN HARD,
GIVING ALL YOU HAD FOR A DREAM THAT SEEMS SO FAR.
BUT OH, YOU HIDE INSIDE YOUR MIND,
TO RELIVE IT ALL AGAIN, TO FIGURE HOW YOU COULD HAVE MADE IT RIGHT.
WON'T YOU PLEASE, PLEASE TRY TO FIND A WAY,
TO LET IT GO, FOR I AM HERE WAITING JUST OUTSIDE.
WON'T YOU BE HERE NOW.
DON'T LET THE SHADOWS OF THE PAST COME BETWEEN US BOTH SOMEHOW.
WON'T YOU BE, BE HERE NOW.
WHATS BEEN IS GONE, THE TIES OF YESTERDAY HAVE BEEN UNDONE.
OH, LET ME HOLD YOU IN MY ARMS,
FOR I AM HERE AND I CAN SHIELD YOU FROM THE STORM.
AND HOW I LONG TO BE WITH YOU.
LET ME TAKE IT ALL AWAY AND GIVE YOU WHAT YOU NEED TO SEE IT THROUGH.
BUT OH, YOU HIDE INSIDE YOUR MIND,
TO RELIVE IT ALL AGAIN TO FIGURE HOW YOU COULD HAVE MADE IT RIGHT.
WON'T YOU PLEASE, PLEASE TRY TO FIND A WAY,
TO LET IT GO, FOR I AM HERE WAITING JUST OUTSIDE.
INSTRUMENTAL VERSE
...OH YOU HIDE INSIDE YOUR MIND,
TO RELIVE IT ALL AGAIN TO FIGURE HOW YOU COULD HAVE MADE IT RIGHT.
WON'T YOU PLEASE, PLEASE TRY TO FIND A WAY,
TO LET IT GO, FOR I AM HERE WAITING JUST OUTSIDE.
BE HERE NOW.
