We ll spend the night at St. Josephs
Lyrics:
We spent the night at St. Josephs
Shaking and shivering in fever
Nurses and criminals before us
I will stay here with you my love
We sat at Lake Junaluska
And cried over where we would wed
If its this place or any other
Its not where I am its who Im with
News came of a child
Born unto a world
Of people, demented and wild
I will be here for you my love
What was our reason for fighting
Selfish and centered at best
I give up on trying
To understand why we were blessed
We ll spend the night at St. Josephs

Lyrics:
Souls like the wheels
Turning, taking us with wind at our heels
Burning(?), making us decide
On what we are giving
Change this way of living
One little song
Give me strength
To leave the side and the wrong
Buried safely in the past
Where I’ve been living…a lie
But I’m forgiving
Let me go, let me go
Let me go…
One little girl, bring me
Light from where I thought it was dark
Be the spark that has a chance to
Light the candle
Love, that I can handle
Let me go, let me go
Let me go, let me go…
Let me go, let me go
Let me go, let me go…
Souls like the wings
Spreading out
Away from bad memories
Make us capable of taking off and landing
Alive with understanding
Let me go, let me go
Let me go, let me go…
Let me go, let me go
Let me go…
