Dirty Knees
c.2011 David Ashley
Here's what breaks the angels wings
Here's what makes the darkness sing
Here's what brings us down to our dirty knees again
Broken down I missed a lot
Of all the love I could have got
If I take a step away
In my heart a better place
But that's what brings us down to our dirty knees again
Here's what makes the angels sing
Here's what breaks the demons scream
Here's the blood shed for us on our dirty knees again

If Only
c.2011 David Ashley
Always tortured by your flame
Search my heart now who's to blame
Forgiving all that I would be
If only, if only
Don't you walk that road alone
The winds of fate will take you down
Reach as high as you can see
Watch it now the winds of fate
We cannot be, be to late
Just forgive with all your being

My Way Home
c.2009 David Ashley
Found myself driving down Lake Shore Road
A thousand miles behind me now
What are the chances I'll forget this place in time
Like all the times I've done before
It's just this place
It's how I find my way home
So many years seems nothing's changed
Old park bench still looking warn
Cool wind blows through here like yesterday's gone
Like all the days since I've been born
Childhood friends they've most moved on
A few have gone to see the Lord
Imagine my turns coming soon, I hope it's not too soon
Still got some things I need to do

Run
c. 2012 David Ashley
If I asked you now
Would you mind staying
Would you wash my heart
Just a little more
You See I’m bruised, broken
Battered, wounded from this war
With myself
Just need a little sun
To make it shine
Put a little light
In this shattered place
I don’t mind lonely
If I know I’ll see your face
Again some day
It’s only needy people
Standing in this place
Trying to find a way through
But this noise won’t give me space
So I run back to you
Cell block D
Gets a little cold
Takes me down
Down just a little more
Hold me tight
Hold me ‘til I can’t breathe in no more
Of your grace
I like it now
Can you make it last
Feeling more like I should
Every day
Lift me up; it won’t be long
Until I break out of these chains
With my faith

One More Day
c.2010 David Ashley
Cold summer nights here
I wonder how I'm feeling anything
Anything at all
It's been a long drought
And I don't know why
It seems like I'm ready for the fall
Let's just watch the sun set
Free ourselves from regret
Where do we go from here
Tomorrow, one more day
Taking the long road
It seems I'm getting pretty good at that
So come on for a ride
Take it or leave it
It's not what I had chosen
But here I am, it's all I have tonight

Old Man
c.2010 David Ashley
There's a man in the back
Singing my old song
I can tell, I see him now
He's going down the wrong road
I can feel his mess
Sinking in my chest
Tainted memories on black
Of all I've ever done wrong
Old man, yeah
Old man, hear me now, take it back
Now you leave me alone
Now you get on gone
Don't show your face around here
Don't need you back in my home
It's a matter of pride
It's a matter of shame
It's about thinking it's gone
Can't get it back again

One Step
c.2010 David Ashley
Listen, I don't want to take your love tonight
Don't want to twist it all wrong
Don't want to take it all in vane
You're more than that to me I'd say
Come on, I read your letter dressed in red
So many voices in my head
Wish I could turn down all that noice
Just want to hear that little voice
Now, she said, just follow your heart
And I said, why should I start now
You demand so much out of me
With a soft touch voice tenderly she said
Take one step, take one step at a time

Rise
c.2010 David Ashley
You make me dance like a willow tree
Sway in time on your breath I'm easy to rise
On your wind I rise
You make me wonder how I could be
Without your love I don't believe I could rise
On your wind I rise
Today take me out of here
Today make me lift my head high
Away from this thing that brings me down
You make me, you make me rise

Precious Thing
c.2011 David Ashley
You don't have to cry yourself to sleep
Don't you worry precious thing
You're not alone tonight
Close your eyes and be in your dreams

Shining Down
c.2011 David Ashley
I wonder how to get along
See your blue skies, no more clouds
Moving away from here
No more weight to pull me out
Writing a bright song
You're shinning down, shinning down
I feel your love shinning down
There's no way to see it through
Makin' the path clear Without You
You break me
This shell of a man
Now I feel I've been found

Remember
c.2012 David Ashley
When it's not worth moving on
When your faith is dead and gone
When you're running out of dreams, so it seems
Look up to the sky; stop and wonder why
Bring me all your tears; I'll wipe them dry
Sing about forgiveness
Sing it loud and sing it strong
Sing it way beyond the distance of the morning sun
Sing about the evening
When the darkness blew you down
When a smile from an angle come and took you home
Remember now
There's one more thing about this
One thing you should know
I don't play this guitar here just for the show
I felt the sting of regret
I let my lover down
But I put it all behind me 'cause I'm heading home
I sing about forgiveness
I sing it loud and sing it strong
I sing it way beyond the distance of the morning sun
I sing about the evening
When the darkness blew me down
When a smile from an angle come and took me home
I remember now
