When life leaves you high and dry...

I have become an overnight Phillip Phillips FAN...uber fan maybe.  Yes, he sounds a lot like one of our favs Dave Matthews, but there is not a bad song...in fact they are all really good...on his album, and I even downloaded a few covers from his time on American Idol and they are fantastic.  As a Dave lover I'd heard about him from his time on Idol but we didn't watch his season.  I liked his first "coming out" song, Home, and how he has a new song released from his album Gone, Gone, Gone that I LOVE, so I downloaded the full album and I am in uber fan mode.  Ya, ya he already sounds like one of my fav artists but his songs and lyrics are really good...I guess in light of things going on I've been posting lots of quotes and lyrics lately - I go to music when I need a pick me up (I get my love of music from Dad and sorry Mum but unfortunately my musical non-talent from Mum)...and some good lyrics and jams...

GONE, GONE, GONE

"When life leaves you high and dry
I'll be at your door tonight
If you need help, if you need help
I'll shut down the city lights,
I'll lie, cheat, I'll beg and bribe
To make you well, to make you well

When enemies are at your door
I'll carry you away from war
If you need help, if you need help
Your hope dangling by a string
I'll share in your suffering
To make you well, to make you well

Give me reasons to believe
That you would do the same for me

And I would do it for you, for you
Baby, I'm not moving on
I love you long after you're gone.
For you, for you.
You would never sleep alone
I love you long after you're gone
And long after you're gone, gone, gone.

When you fall like a statue
I'm gon' be there to catch you
Put you on your feet, you on your feet
And if your well is empty
Not a thing will prevent me
Tell me what you need, what do you need

I surrender honestly
You've always done the same for me

So I would do it for you, for you.
Baby, I'm not moving on
I love you long after you're gone.
For you, for you.
You would never sleep alone.
I love you long after you're gone
And long after you're gone gone gone.

You're my back bone,
You're my cornerstone
You're my crutch when my legs stop moving
You're my head start,
You're my rugged heart
You're the pulse that I've always needed
Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating
Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating
Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating
Like a drum my heart never stops beating

For you, for you
Baby I'm not moving on
I love you long after you're gone.
For you, for you.
You would never sleep alone
I love you long after you're gone.
For you, for you.
Baby I'm not moving on,
I love you long after you're gone.
For you, for you.
You would never sleep alone.
I love you long, long after you're gone.

Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating
Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating
Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating
Like a drum my heart never stops beating for you

And long after you're gone, gone, gone.
I love you long after you're gone gone, gone."

ily always
