Lyrics

Verse 1
Every word she said to me hit me like a poison dart
Things I never thought she could say
Chosen ever so carefully, they echoed in my worn-out heart
As she walked away

Chorus
She don’t know why she don’t love me any more
She don’t know where it’s gone
She don’t know when or if she’ll come home
I told her baby please don’t go without letting me know
But she don’t know why

Verse 2
She told me that she can’t explain the motivations of the heart
And she’s hoping that I’ll be OK
She told me that the passion has died, and now she needs a brand new start
I’ve never felt so betrayed

Chorus 2

Bridge
We thought that love was the answer
Now only questions remain

Chorus 3
I don’t know why I love her anymore
I don’t know where she’s gone
I don’t know when she’s coming back home
I told her baby please don’t go without letting me know
But she don’t know why

Lyrics

Verse:

When Jesus rode into Jerusalem
He was riding on a donkey’s back
The people came to shout Hosanna in the highest
Hallelujah as a matter of fact

The Pharisees they came when they heard a commotion
stood and wondered at their home-town crowd
Jesus said hey boys, you better let them shout it
or the rocks are gonna cry out loud

Just as if I planned it

Lyrics

Mad is the tempest that this life is made of
I’m in the eye the storms
There may be colors that I cannot tell the shade of
but I just dress in layers, to keep me warm

all of the pieces seem so unconnected
to the untrained eye
The plot has thickened in a way unexpected
It looks rehearsed but it’s all improvised

chorus:

This just as if I planned it
Every day the way it’s supposed to be
Just as if I planned it
and nobody’s more surprised than me

every day it seems success is getting nearer
no point in keeping at bay
I’ll take the credit for the smoke and the mirrors
Our little secret I will never give away

(bridge)
I do believe in coincidence making sense

Lyrics

William and Kate
Norm Strauss, Andrew Smith, Zach Smith, Ann Vriend
(c) 2010 roadmap music

William and Kate relate with a casual intimacy
at the Kensington street cafe over scones and their favourite tea

No newspapers hide their faces
as she reaches to wipe a crumb from his chin
There’s comfort in the quiet spaces
and he can recognize the mischief in her grin

William and Kate up late with Rogers and Astair
who even on their own were great, but better as a pair

Soft shoe romance, two step slow dance
Around the furniture as the credits roll
Swaying slowly, lost in a trance
Laughing as their clothing hits the floor

William and Kate’s next date is prime-time fantasy
This fairy-tale love escape is just what nation needs

Lyrics

What I Feel

Words & Music Andrew Smith, Tami Smith, Sherri Funk

There ain’t no use trying to hold it inside (every now and then I gotta sing out what I feel)
I’m gonna take these feelings out for a ride (every now and then I gotta sing out what I feel)
You got to be free to shout it from the rooftops
Or you got to whisper to a friend
You got to be free and dqnce and move your body
Or pour it out with paint or pen

Everybody, everybody say sha na na na na yeah – you got something to say
Everybody, everybody say sha la la la la yeah – get it out of the way
And move on

Brother this could keep you from jumpin (every now and then I gotta sing out what I feel)
Sister this could keep you from hiding away (every now and then I gotta sing out what I feel)

Lyrics

LIKE A ROAD

Andrew Smith and Diane L. Tucker

Lay me down like a road (2x)
Oh sweet Lord Jesus lift me up with you 
and lay me down

Take my life from my hands (2x)
It weighs so heavy on me and I’m longing to be free
Lord take my life

Pluck my heart like a flower (2X)
Keep all the dying petals cradled in your hands
Lord pluck my heart

Lay me down like a road (2x)
Make it a long and quiet, narrow tree-lined lane
I’ll be still between the trees, lay down all of my dreams
Let the the leaves erase my face and my name

Do You Like It

Lyrics

Do You Like It?

Written by: Andrew Smith & Tami Smith


Every morning at 7am
Those water pipes groan
And I hear that shower song
That’s my cue to roll out of bed
Stagger downstairs and turn the coffee on
This dark roast can taste so fine
When the grind is right
And the water pure
With half a cream in your favourite mug
Served at the perfect temperature

And I know it’s only coffee
But do you like it?
I hope that you can taste the care
I poured into the cup
And I know it’s only coffee
But it’s the language of love
So let me know – is it the best you’ve ever had

After work jump in my car
On my way home now with a couple of stops
Bakery and the deli market and finally
At the wine shop
Spent too much time looking at the labels
Of shiraz and cabernet and pinot noir
Picked out this one with just you in mind
I think we had it once at some Parisienne bar

And I know it’s only wine
But do you like it?
With hints of old-world earth and sun
And a delicate bouquet
And I know it’s only wine
But it’s the language of love
So let me know – is it the best you’ve ever had

In every way these every day
Ways to say I love you
Mean more than words

Oh tell me tell me tell me=2C
Tell me how you love it so
Oh go on and tell me tell me tell me=2C
Tell me how you love it so
