Big Hearts 03:41
I got a big heart beating in my chest It's such a fine art, never getting any rest Every day and every night it keeps on going I wanna be so smart, I'm giving it my best But damn it's so hard when I'm flunking every test And my head wants to lead the way But my heart ain't following- Then you call me from the road You're driving through Virginia, heading home Well won't you come on through? 'Cause I really wanna go on loving you- You got a big heart I always understood I think a new start will do you lots of good And I hope someone will catch you if ever you're falling You play a big part in so many of my songs So thank you sweetheart, and though other come along Hope you know you'll always be my dearest darling- Then you call me late at night Pretending to be near me and that's alright 'Cause there's nothing left to prove So I guess I'm gonna go on, go on- Big hearts beating, filling up the room Well I knew you were needing something only I could do Years go past and I'm still after what I had to lose- And so you call me now and then I ask about your job and your girlfriend While this big heart's beating true And I think she's gonna go on I'm afraid I'm gonna go on loving you.

Oak Trees 04:03
He is strong as the oak trees growing down in County Kerry He is warm as his brewed teas that he pours And tells me stories Oh sing to me, sing to me, my bonny boy- He loves me true, soundly we'll sleep His dreams come from far, they fly 'cross the sea And though one day I well may be a long-departed memory "You're my bonny lass", he says to me- How I long to be like the oak trees growing down in old Killarney I could be strong and bear his baby He'll teach us songs from nights in Kerry Oh sing to me, sing to me, my bonny boy- He loves me true, soundly we'll sleep He dreams of a world that I've never seen And though his dearest love may be a land that lies beyond the sea My bonny lad, stay with me- In another life we will be oak trees growing wise and wild in Kerry I'll be his wife, yes, him I'll marry And when he dies, my love I'll bury I'll sing to thee, sing to thee, my bonny boy- I love him true, soundly we'll sleep Our dreams come from far, they fly 'cross the sea And though we're bound eventually for long-departed memory His bonny lass I'll always be.

Charleston 04:01
Walk away from the hurt, I buried it in the dirt- I was just a little girl when he walked into my world Faithful as a dog would be while he ran around on me So I followed him this time to catch him if I can Oh Lord how I love that man- So no no I know I'm gonna tell my God when I see His face That I think he would've done the same if He was in my place 'Cause more than that I fear the wrath of the peoples' gun So no don't you tell 'em what I've done in Charleston- There he was caught in a lie, tangled up with another man's wife I said goodbye to my peaceful ways And he said goodbye to the light of day May that ground soak up my sin and wear it like a brand Oh Lord how I loved that man- CHORUS Careful now, no one to trust Baby is on the run Well the only living witness was that setting southern sun- CHORUS

Moments 02:54
Do these moments come free or have they only been loaned? When you're taking your leave, will they cost more than I own? Have these moments been planned? Set up and used up day after day Back when we began I swore you were more than a stop on the way- Why, tell me why do I want you like I still do? I thought these moments were mine I held their hands so they wouldn't fall But they're yours at the same time So I guess they belong to no one at all- Then why, tell me why do I miss them like some old friends?

Daddy goes out from dawn til dusk He's looking for a job that pays He says I know we're living in a world that's just And I'm gonna get it one of these days- He says it's my fault we're in this boat And it won't be long til we drown I swear I wanna get you to the other side But I'm the one who's weighing it down- Well I have seen the future, daddy, And I know you're gonna be fine Chin up, honey, like you always told me Now I wanna see you smile Daddy don't cry- Daddy got lost a couple years back And he don't know how to find his way He said I had my map, I had my facts And I don't know where I went astray- He says it's my fault we're in these woods And the night is falling fast I swear I wanna get you to the other side But I still can't find the path- Well I have seen the future, daddy And I know we'll get out alive Chin up, honey, like you always told me Now I wanna see you smile Daddy don't cry- Daddy comes home with a heavy heart And he's buckling under the weight He says if only I could take it back to the start But now I'm shouldering a burden too great- He says it's my fault, I made my choice Now all I can do is pray I swear I'm gonna get Him to hear my voice But I wanna know how long it'll take- Well I have seen the future so daddy Don't you go on taking blame Win or losing, it's worth the choosing And I love you just the same Daddy don't cry.
