Don Henley - Taking You Home Lyrics

Don Henley - Taking You Home Video

I had a good life

Before you came

I had my friends and my freedom

I had my name

 

Still there was sorrow and emptyness

Till you made me glad

Oh and this love

I found strength

Never knew i had

 

And this love

Is like nothing i have ever known

Take my hand

Im taking you home

Taking you home

 

There were days, lonely days

When the world

Wouldnt throw me a crumb

But i kept on believin

That this day would come

 

And this love

Is like nothig like i have ever known baby

Take my hand

Im takin you home

Im taking you home

Where we can be with the ones who really care

Home

Where we can grow old together

Keep you in my heart forever

 

Oh and this love

Is like nothing i have ever known

Take my hand

Taking you home

Taking you home

 

Yes I am

Don Henley - Annabel Lyrics

Don Henley - Annabel Video

I watch you sleeping

My weary heart rises up on wings

I hear your laughter

Something deep down inside me sings

 

Way down here in the land of cotton

You were born on a rainy day

Since then, sweet things long forgotten

They just keep flooding back my way

 

Oh child, I cannot tell you how the time just flies

But I have had my days of glory under sunny skies

These days, your bright dreams are all I want to see

Sleep tight, Annabel

You can always count on me

 

In this cold world, folks will judge you

Though they don't know you at all

And I may not be there to catch you

Anytime that you might fall

 

But, you got my hard head

And your mother's grace

All the likeness of the loved ones right there in your face

And I know in the end you'll be who you will be

 

So sleep tight, Annabel

You can always count on me

Don Henley - The End Of The Innocence Lyrics

Don Henley - The End Of The Innocence Video

Remember when the days were long

And rolled beneath a deep blue sky

Didn't have a care in the world

With mommy and daddy standin' by

But happily ever after fails

And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales

The lawyers dwell on small details

Since Daddy had to fly

 

But I know a place where we can go

That's still untouched by men

We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by

And the tall grass waves in the wind

You can lay your head back on the ground

And let your hair fall all around me

Offer up your best defense

But this is the end

This is the end of the innocence

 

O beautiful, for spacious skies

But now those skies are threatening

They're beating plowshares into swords

For this tired old man that we elected king

Armchair warriors often fail

And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales

The lawyers clean up all details

Since Daddy had to lie

 

But I know a place where we can go

And wash away this sin

We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by

And the tall grass waves in the wind

Just lay your head back on the ground

And let your hair spill all around me

Offer up your best defense

But this is the end

This is the end of the innocence

 

Who knows how long this will last

Now we've come so far, so fast

But, somewhere back there in the dust

That same small town in each of us

I need to remember this

So baby give me just one kiss

And let me take a long last look

Before we say goodbye

 

Just lay your head back on the ground

And let your hair fall all around me

Offer up your best defense

But this is the end

This is the end of the innocence

Don Henley - The Heart Of The Matter Lyrics

Don Henley - The Heart Of The Matter Video

I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear

But I knew that it would come

An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone

She said you found someone

And I thought of all the bad luck,

And the struggles we went through

And how I lost me and you lost you

What are these voices outside love's open door

Make us throw off our contentment

And beg for something more?

 

I'm learning to live without you now

But I miss you sometimes

The more I know, the less I understand

All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again

I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter

But my will gets weak

And my thoughts seem to scatter

But I think it's about forgiveness

Forgiveness

Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

 

These times are so uncertain

There's a yearning undefined

And people filled with rage

We all need a little tenderness

How can love survive in such a graceless age

The trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness

They're the very things we kill, I guess

Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms

And the work I put between us,

You know it doesn't keep me warm

 

I'm learning to live without you now

But I miss you, Baby

The more I know, the less I understand

All the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again

I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter

But everything changes

And my friends seem to scatter

But I think it's about forgiveness

Forgiveness

Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

 

There are people in your life who've come and gone

They let you down you know they hurt your pride

You better put it all behind you, baby; 'Cause life goes on

You keep carryin' that anger, it'll eat you up inside

 

I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter

But my will gets weak

And my thoughts seem to scatter

But I think it's about forgiveness

Forgiveness

Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

 

I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter

Because the flesh will get weak

And the ashes will scatter

So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness

Forgiveness

Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

Don Henley - Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough Lyrics

Don Henley - Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough Video

Now, I don't want to lose you

But I don't want to use you

Just to have somebody by my side

And I don't want to hate you

I don't want to take you

But I don't want to be the one to cry

 

And that don't really matter

To anyone anymore

But like a fool I keep losing my place

And I keep seeing you walk through that door

 

But there's a danger in loving somebody too much

And it's sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust

There's a reason why people don't stay where they are

Baby, sometimes love just ain't enough

 

Now, I could never change you

I don't want to blame you

Baby, you don't have to take the fall

Yes, I may have hurt you

But I did not desert you

Maybe I just want to have it all

 

It makes a sound like thunder

It makes me feel like rain

And like a fool who will never see the truth

I keep thinking something's gonna change

 

But there's a danger in loving somebody too much

And it's sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust

There's a reason why people don't stay where they are

Baby, sometimes love just ain't enough

 

And there's no way home

When it's late at night and you're all alone

Are there things that you wanted to say

And do you feel me beside you in your bed

There beside you where I used to lay

 

And there's a danger in loving somebody too much

And it's sad when you know it's your heart they can't touch

There's a reason why people don't stay who they are

Baby, sometimes love just ain't enough

Baby, sometimes love,

It just ain't enough
