THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE    HARRIS 

I WAS IN REAL TROUBLE, THEN YOU CAME ALONG,

YOU GAVE ME $50-, ALL YOU WANTED WAS A SONG, SO THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE, YOU HELP ME WHEN I NEED YOU, THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE.

I WAS DOWN & OUT, MY NEXT STOP WAS DEAD,

THE CUPBOARD WAS EMPTY, & YOU FILLED IT WITH BREAD, SO THANK YOU I COULDN'T KEEP A JOB, THE BABIES WERE CRYING,

BUT I NEVER GAVE UP FAITH IN YOU & YOU NEVER STOPPED TRYING, S. T. H., SOMETIMES I THINK THIS WHOLE WORLD, WOULDN'T LAST ANOTHER MINUTE, BUT I REST EASY EVERY DAY, JUST KNOWING THAT YOU'RE IN IT, S. T.H.

 

 

BROKEN GLASS BLUES      HARRIS

THE SKIES ARE LIKE IRON, AND THE EARTH FEELS JUST LIKE BRASS 12

WELL EVER SINCE WE'VE BEEN APART, I'VE BEEN SHATTERED LIKE BROKEN GLASS I KNOW THAT IT'S WRITTEN, THAT THIS TOO SHALL PASS 12
