Song of the Week - King For a Day

David Ryan Harris - King for a Day (Smith's Olde Bar 1/5/07)

LYRICS:
I took the pill like I was told
And I prayed that it would ease my nerve
The room went black and the day grew cold
I guess I got what I deserve

One feathered bed, a busted spring
Man, I took everything and I wonder where I am
Where I am

I am king for a day or a fool for a lifetime
One day I might find out who I am
I am king for a day or a fool for a lifetime
One day I'll find out who I am

I drank the wine 'til I was done
and it made me weak it made me numb
I wondered who I had become
I ran to what I was running from

One feathered bed, an open wing
Man, I took everything and I wonder where I am
Where I am

I am king for a day or a fool for a lifetime
One day I might find out who I am
I am king for a day or a fool for a lifetime
One day I might find out who I am

Took some time to see
Wings don't make you free
Wind won't make you get high

Took some time to see
Wings don't make you free
Wind won't make you get high

Song of the Week - Genie

David Ryan Harris - Genie (Smith's Olde Bar 6/28/06)

LYRICS:
My, my what good fortune.
I found a genie on my front porch and I’m gonna use him
to get next to you.
I won’t wish for diamonds, long life, or money
Just for a moment alone with you honey.
I’m trying to use him to get next to you.

Chorus:
I’ve got a feeling I’m wasting my wishes
I’ve got a feeling you’ll never be true
I’ve got a feeling your mountains too high
your river is too wide
I’ve got a feeling you’ve got a genie too,
and your genie is stronger than mine.

You’re mine all mine, you’re my destiny.
I’ll have my genie use his trickery to tempt and entice
oh, to bring me next to you.
Mystical sorcerer taste my longing, sate my appetite.
I’m gonna use him to put a hex on you.

Chorus

Your genie does things that mine can’t do.
Your genie does things that mine can’t do.

Chorus

Your genie does things that mine can’t do.
Your genie does things that mine can’t do.
Your genie does things that mine can’t do.
Your genie does things that mine can’t do.

Song of the Week - For You

David Ryan Harris - For You (Hotel Cafe - 3/13/07)

LYRICS:
Saturday before the sun is up
I'm out the door and I'm on my way
I catch the two and then the thirty-five
And by six fifteen I'm on the train

Thirty miles until the final stop
And still I have to walk a few more
By the time I finally reach your garden's gate
I have nineteen steps 'til I'm at your door

And oh what a thrill
To finally be with you
And when I see your face I know that

There ain't nothing strong enough to keep me away from you
There could be a wall of fire ten feet or higher
I would just walk on through
Where there once was only room for one
Forever there will be two

And that's why I travel all this way
For you
To you
For you

Sunday night and I'm at home alone
And I miss the smell of your perfume
Five longs days and four more hours
'Til I am there again with you

And oh what a thrill
To finally be with you
And when I see your face
I know that

There ain't nothing strong enough to keep me away from you
There could be a wall of fire ten feet or higher
I would walk on through
Where there once was only room for one
Forever there will be two

And that's why I travel all this way for you

Seconds make minutes
Make hours make days
I've added it all up a million ways
Multiply that times the fact that when I'm with you
I feel brand new

That's why I travel all this way to you

'Cause there ain't nothing strong enough to keep me away from you
There could be a wall of fire ten feet or higher
I would walk on through
Where there once was only room for one
Forever there will be two

And that is why I travel all this way
Just to see your pretty face
Each and every Saturday
For you
To you
For you
