So lately I have been listening to a lot of Mark Knopfler and Ray LaMontagne music and can't help but listen to the lyrics. There are so many songs that seem to be playing at just the right time. Here are three songs that I am loving right now. I have bolded and changed the color of a few paragraphs that really have impacted me.... not to mentiont he whole "Let It Be Me" song is amazing.

"Let It Be Me"
By: Ray LaMongtagne

There may come a time, a time in everyones life
Where nothin seems to go your way
Where nothing seems to turn out right
There may come a time, you just cant seem to find your place
For every door you walk on to, seems like they get slammed in your face
Thats when you need someone, someone that you can call.
And when all your faith is gone
Feels like you cant go on Let it be me
Let it be me If its a friend that you need
Let it be me
Let it be me
Feels like your always commin on home
Pockets full of nothin and you got no cash
No matter where you turn you aint got no place to stand
Reach out for something and they slap your hand
Now i remember all to well
Just how it feels to be all alone
You feel like youd give anything
For just a little place you can call your own
Thats when you need someone, someone that you can call
And when all your faith is gone
Feels like you cant go on
Let it be me
Let it be me
If its a friend you need
Let it be me
Let it be me


Lyrics to Nobody's Got The Gun :

Mark Knopfler

Nobody's got the gun
Nobody's trying to get the drop on anyone
Nobody's standing out on main street
With the sun blazing down
Saying "There's only room for one of us in this here town"
Nobody's got to be the number one
Nobody's got the gun

She may not understand
And she may want you eating from her hand
If she's got you in a corner
And you can smell the smoke and flame
You reach for your revolver
To do the same
You'll blow your love away forever, number one
Nobody's got the gun

You may think love is hard enough

You may never get to rehearse

And you can do without this stuff

Making everything worse

She's just the same as you

She needs your love just like you want her to

You can't go playing poker

With a pistol in your sleeve

You can't make somebody love you

By threatening to leave

If you want a love forever, number one

Nobody's got the gun



Lyrics to I'm The Fool :

Mark Knopfler


I never thought I'd be the one
To be the raging bull
There'd always be a smoking gun
Who'd up and lose his cool
I never thought I'd have to say
I'm sorry, my love, because
I'm the fool I never
Fool I never thought I was

I left my dreams with broken strings
It's time I learnt to talk
Stop falling over things
Teach myself to walk
I'm not a superman
Or Mr. wonderful,
because I'm the fool I never
Fool I never thought I was

I'm the know it all
Trying to mend his broken heart
But I don't know how to call
And I don't know where to start

Now if you should lose your faith in me

I don't know where I'd run I hope you'll always let me be

Your only one Am I your one true love

Or am I too late for your applause I'm the fool I never

Fool I never thought I was Darling, I'm the fool I never Fool I never thought I was
