The McKrells

"Something's Come In"

it only comes round once in a while--why linger?
questions go unanswered, the heart decides to choose
a life long lived in wondering, "if I--should I ever?"
it never would be questioned; it never would be news

and waiting for the clock to turn, living for the memory
the old roads are the safest if you haven't got a journey
prisoners of circumstance, trapped in situations
you never were one to be tempted by temptation

I'm going with this, I'm going
so let it rain
and I'm turning with this, I'm turning
I, I can't explain
but in my heart, I know
it's reaching into me
and I may be blind, but I can see just fine
for something's come in to change my mind

ragged souls grow richer, bigger, even better
the road that leads to nowhere opens up and leads the way
the cold grows--even so, it doesn't seem to bite so hard
trouble's come to take its toll, and trouble's on its way

it makes mean men gentlemen, young girls turn to women
the heart of hearts turns stubborn, the sinners even give in
brave and bold turn jelly, the speaker becomes tongue-tied
and the Giver is taking the sightless to be wide-eyed

I'm going with this, I'm going
so let it rain
and I'm turning with this, I'm turning
I, I can't explain
but in my heart, I know
it's reaching into me
and I may be blind, but I can see just fine
for something's come in to change my mind

"Ride On"

it's true you ride the finest horse
i have ever seen
you're standing sixteen-one or -two
your eyes are wide and green
you ride the horse so well
your hands are light to the touch
but I could never go with you, no matter how I wanted to

ride on
see you
I could never go with you, no matter how I wanted to

when you ride into the night
without a trace behind
won't you call out my guards one last time?
a seething space, an empty place
where you used to lie
you look to the light that shines through the night
to the teardrops in my eye

ride on
see you
I could never go with you, no matter how I wanted to

it's true you ride the finest horse
i have ever seen
you're standing sixteen-one or -two
your eyes are wide and green
you ride the horse so well
your hands are light to the touch
but I could never go with you, no matter how I wanted to
