Billy Bob Baggins
Your Title After the Song
You never had a pauper's
chance
You gave your heart for fuguish romance
And now you're wondering where the
music went
Who will hum the tune, now the echoes
are spent
It's been years since you were moved
in that fevered trance
Oh, it just seems so quiet, after the
dance
Strong are the steps of
the foolish and young
Fragile the melodies in
your own muted tongue
There's much to hear before the silence
is broken
By those who still listen when the
last word's been spoken
For all my good reason
I fear the rhyme is a token
and the beat...after the song takes too long
oh, the time ... after the song takes
too long

Your Title It's The Time After You
You never had a hard time
saying "I love you"
You gave your heart so easily
And now you're saying that we are through
Who will take the place you left?
It's been years since I slept alone
Oh, it just a busy signal -- on the
telephone
Strong are the people who
love too much
Fragile the pulse in
your touch
There's much that's said
By those who don't care about -- you
For all my life I
have wanted a person like -- you
It's the time after you that takes too long
It's the life after you that takes
too long

Lee Myers
Your Title aspire
You never had enough time
to spare
You gave your love out anywhere
And now you're lifes in disrepaire
Who will teach you how to share
It's been years since you've ever been
ontime
Oh, it just really blows my mind
Strong are the ties that
bind
Fragile the eyes that are not blind
in your own sweet time
There's much to do about nothing
By those who who know
For all my preaching I
aint been teaching
cause loving you takes too long
cause shoving you takes too long

Jim Kruse
Your Title Pride
You never had temperance
You gave your innocense
And now you're indifferent to the touch..
Who will see you.. be you?
It's been years since you've been alone,
Oh, it just cuts down deep.. to the bone.
Strong are the nights
Fragile the sunrise in
your eyes
There's much to much pain
By those who sleep above the rain...
For all my knowing I
know that..
pride takes too long
pride just takes too long

Jamie Garrison
Your Title To Live.....
You never had a chance to
fly
You gave your life to a higher calling
And now you're standing at the brink
Who will be your lifeline?
It's been years since you've tasted
love
Oh, it just a moments gift....
Strong are the ones that
give the heart
Fragile the tears in
your soul
There's much to be learned
By those who have not lived
For all my living I
dont' understand
cause it takes too long
to live...yes it.... takes too long

R. Baber
Your Title Heartbreak Rehab
You never had much walking
around sense
You gave your heart before you used
your brain
And now you're living in the past tense
Who will save you from your pain?
It's been years since you were convicted
Oh, it just seems so insane
Strong are the walls of
the correctional facility
Fragile the fortress in
your heart of glass
There's much that's been said about
your new stability
By those who visited you in the recent
past
For all my hopes of your recovery I
see now that I was wrong
heartbreak rehab takes too long
heartbreak rehab takes too long
Whew!!!
