David Rodriguez Lyrics

Everything to Me from A Winter Moon (Folkwit 2007)

Last night as I looked through
Your window to the sky
Thinking on your love
And how you opened up my eyes

Like a miracle, a star began to fall
And I made a wish, just one wish
And that was all.

Out there in the distance
Is a future shining bright
Might come true tomorrow
Might come true tonight

But I’ll be there when
The first light of the dawn
Shine across your room
Into your gentle arms

Chorus:

You’re everthing to me
Everything to me
Like the mountains and the deep blue sea
Maybe even my destiny
Everything to me, everything to me
You are now and will always be
Everything to me

Now I ‘m lying here beside you
At the fading of the light
I hear swallows in the treetops
And see the windmill on the dike

There’s a peace that spreads
Across this tiny land
Where the strong have grace
And the weak do what they can.

Chorus

Song for Prague From The Lonesome Drover (Noose 2006)

There by the stand
Selling cheap beauty
Cigarette in her hand
No rights, no duties
Laughing at time
A young girl with no place to go

A few glasses of wine,
A joint or two, maybe
Days fly by like news
On the TV
How can you live
When you’re hurtin’
And pretend that you don’t?

They got a glimpse of this world
That cut straight to their souls
Now they feel ancient inside
But they weren’t supposed to,
No, they were ones who
We hoped would pick the grapes from the vine.

There by the stand
Selling cheap beauty
No rights, no plans
Now it’s all coming to me
How little we gave them,
Because love is what they needed the most.
