Slow Down The Rain
Kari Smith | (c) 2005 / ASCAP
Driving down a back road
And the rain is pouring down
Windshield wipers slapping time in front of me
There's darkness all around
The road is curved and dangerous
There's no end in sight
Feels just like my life right now
Can something just go right?
CHORUS
Cause I'm sick and tired of fighting
I don't want another round
No more storm-clouds filling up my eyes
Or teardrops raining down
If you're out there somewhere
Could you help me with the pain
Could you please just stop the storm
Or at least slow down the rain
If there's not something wrong right now
I'm dealing with the past
Always dodging raindrops like the wipers
Intermittent on the glass
Don't remember what the sun looks like
It's been too damn long
And I don't know how you can still
Expect me to be strong
CHORUS
Could you let me know you're listening?
Give me a sign; I'll know you hear
Let it hit me like a flash of lightning
So that something in my life for once is clear

Go With You
Kari Smith | (c) 2005 / ASCAP
Didn't understand
Never could see
Never bad enough in my reality
Didn't make sense
Never saw the use
Never thought I had a good enough excuse
But I think I changed my mind
This time I wanna go there too
This time can I go with you
Left behind
Never on board
That's how I wanted it
Just shut the door
Too good, above it all
Never taken a hard enough fall
But tonight I changed my mind
This time I wanna go there too
This time can I go with you
Take me with you
Take me with you
Tonight I felt the fire
I'm sinking low
Won't you take me higher
I wanna go there too
This time
Can I go with you

I Call It Love
Kari Smith | (c) 2005 / ASCAP
Walked down to the riverside
In the still of the night
No tears are falling
But I don't see no light
You went and hurt me
I thought you never would
I went and let you
I know I never should've
I don't wanna talk to no one
On the telephone
Don't wanna tell them
That you did me wrong
Cause then they'll tell me
The way they always do
Why are you with him
Go and find somebody new
Yeah, find somebody new
Then they call me crazy
And they call me weak
They say I'm foolish
For never being willing to accept defeat
They say that I'm naive for thinking
Good can rise above
They can call me crazy
I call it love
My mama she told me
"Girl, he ain't the one"
You gotta get up and learn to move on
She don't know I love you
She thinks that you're just passing through
I'm not gonna tell her
She'll just say, “What's wrong with you?
Oh my baby girl, what's wrong with you?"
Then she'll call me crazy
And she'll call me weak
She'll say I'm foolish
For never being willing to accept defeat
She'll say that I'm naive
For thinking good can rise above
She can call me crazy
I call it love
You can call me crazy
You can call me weak
Say I'm foolish for never being willing to accept defeat
Say that I'm naive for thinking good can rise above
You can call me crazy
I call it love

Sweet Music Man
Kari Smith | (c) 2005 / ASCAP
When he plays a song
My heart can hear him speaking
When he sings along
His voice is softly pleading
When his fingers dance over the strings
Almost like they're flying on wings
And when I hear his voice
I wish that I could have him
Sweet music man
His eyes are closed
His lips brush softly on the microphone
His face so full of passion
Fingers moving soft but strong
People watching but he doesn't care
So lost in what has brought him there
And how he's touched my heart
I don't think he will ever know
Sweet music man
Play for me
Can I pretend your song is just for me
Sing to me
Heal me with your sweet melody
His songs, they cry, they pray
They tell me of his story
They laugh, they hurt, they hide
They whisper and implore me
When he's finished, my heart begs for more
Never return to where I was before
I hope he never knows
He has complete control of me
Sweet music man

Cursed
Kari Smith | (c) 2005 / ASCAP
Head is spinning
Mind is racing
Don't know what it means
Never saw it, never imagined
In his wildest dreams
Some kind of mystical forces of nature
Could leave him enraptured this way
He cannot fathom the spell that she cast
Leading his poor mind astray
CHORUS
He's cursed - under her spell
He Can't stop anticipating
Her kisses, her touches, her smell
If he could control it, it might be okay
She's taken the rules
And thrown them away
There must be a spell in her eyes
Once she looked at you - cursed
Captivated every minute
Stuck in his head
From the time the water
Wakes him in the morning
Till he falls in bed
Fixed on her image
He hears her soft laughter
But she's nowhere around
He feels her heart beating
Pressed up against him
But she can't be found
He's cursed
Under her spell
He can't stop anticipating
Just like a rose but without any thorns
He'd swear she's a devil but you can't see horns
Addicted, but don't know why
He's cursed

Slow Down The Rain
Kari Smith | (c) 2005 / ASCAP
Driving down a back road
And the rain is pouring down
Windshield wipers slapping time in front of me
There's darkness all around
The road is curved and dangerous
There's no end in sight
Feels just like my life right now
Can something just go right?
CHORUS
Cause I'm sick and tired of fighting
I don't want another round
No more storm-clouds filling up my eyes
Or teardrops raining down
If you're out there somewhere
Could you help me with the pain
Could you please just stop the storm
Or at least slow down the rain
If there's not something wrong right now
I'm dealing with the past
Always dodging raindrops like the wipers
Intermittent on the glass
Don't remember what the sun looks like
It's been too damn long
And I don't know how you can still
Expect me to be strong
Cause I'm sick and tired of fighting
I don't want another round
No more storm-clouds filling up my eyes
Or teardrops raining down
If you're out there somewhere
Could you help me with the pain
Could you please just stop the storm
Or at least slow down the rain
Could you let me know you're listening?
Give me a sign; I'll know you hear
Let it hit me like a flash of lightning
So that something in my life for once is clear
Cause I'm sick and tired of fighting
I don't want another round
No more storm-clouds filling up my eyes
Or teardrops raining down
If you're out there somewhere
Could you help me with the pain
Could you please just stop the storm
Or at least slow down the rain
Can you please just stop the storm
Or at least slow down the rain
