A Teardrop to the Sea - Jon Bon Jovi, Billy Falcon - 5:07 https://youtu.be/cDwia5nMXBY So this is it Here it is A pot of gold A Judas kiss I got what I wanted I paid every cost I'd give it all back To get back what I've lost Like a wave on the beach Last leaf on the tree It's all just a memory Chorus Love pick me up I'm down on my knees My treasure just rags Wings that don't fly I ain't praying I'm choking I'll fix what's been broken Got nothing to hide No time for goodbye Nobody grieves A teardrop to the sea They shake my hand Pat my back They know my drink Welcome back Life of the party Tears of a clown Can't hear a heartbreak The music's too loud Chorus Love pick me up I'm down on my knees My treasure just rags Wings that don't fly, I ain't praying I'm choking I'll fix what's been broken Got nothing to hide No time for goodbye Nobody grieves A teardrop to the sea [Guitar Solo] It's just broken glass Chalk lines on the street Move along, move along Ain't nothing here to see Chorus Love pick me up I'm down on my knees My riches just rags Wings that don't fly, I ain't praying I'm choking I'll fix what's been broken Got nothing to hide No time for goodbyes Oh, love pick me up Oh, love pick me up Nobody grieves A teardrop to the sea A teardrop to the sea [Guitar Solo] A teardrop to the sea ************************************************** 2. We Don't Run - Jon Bon Jovi, John Shanks - 3:17 https://youtu.be/t_PQvX5dUnE Take a look around you Yeah the sky is falling Sinners say your prayers This train is off the tracks Nothing is forever when Tomorrow's calling Dancing with the devil To get one day back! ah Not afraid of burning bridges 'cause I know they're gonna light my way Like a phoenix from the ashes Welcome to the future It's a new day "We don't run" I'm standing my ground "We don't run" And we don't back down There's fire in the sky There's thunder on the mountain Bless each tear and this dirt I was born in Run "We don't run" "We don't run" Take me to the banks of your muddy water Where the flesh and blood and the spirit meet Only takes your touch for me to find salvation You're the only reason that I still believe Not afraid of burning bridges 'cause I know they're gonna light my way Like a phoenix from the ashes Welcome to the future It's a new day "We don't run" I'm standing my ground "We don't run" And we don't back down There's fire in the sky There's thunder on the mountain Bless each tear and this dirt I was born in Run "We don't run" "We don't run" (Fire in the sky, there's thunder on the mountain) (Fire in the sky, there's thunder on the mountain) [Guitar solo] "We don't run" I'm standing my ground "We don't run" And we don't back down There's fire in the sky There's thunder on the mountain Bless each tear and this dirt I was born in Run "We don't run" "We don't run" "We don't run" (Fire in the sky, there's thunder on the mountain) ************************************************** 3. Saturday Night Gave Me Sunday Morning - Bon Jovi, Shanks, Richie Sambora - 3:23 https://youtu.be/gdGMhU24EAA I was living my life like a long-lost weekend Never felt nothing, jumping right into deep end I wasn’t missin’ nothin’ that was ever worth getting Never hung around enough to regret it You came walking in late but just in time You ended my excuses with a ten-cent rhyme Your shoes and attitude were stacked way up high I knew right then you were the story of my life. Saturday night gave me Sunday morning Opened my eyes now it’s a new day dawning Think I might have pushed my luck a time or two Everything about us is what gets me through I never thought I’d hear the church bells ringing I never learned the song this heart was singing No regrets I took that step and I’m still falling Saturday night gave me Sunday morning, yeah When you're driving down a street that’s only going one way Every day starts feeling like a month of Mondays You should know I still got something left to prove I know what it takes to get back to you Saturday night gave me Sunday morning Opened my eyes now it’s a new day dawning Think I might have pushed my luck a time or two Everything about us is what gets me through I never thought I’d hear the church bells ringing I never learned the song this heart was singing No regrets I took that step and I’m still falling Saturday night gave me Sunday morning, yeah Remember those nights staring out at the lights Making time with our feet in the sand Making up words to our favorite songs Laughin’ loud with those drinks in our hands And as that boy put his head on her shoulder She pulled him tight to get a bit closer And as the world just disappeared You whispered in my ear Saturday night gave me Sunday morning Opened my eyes now it’s a new day dawning Think I might have pushed my luck a time or two Everything about us is what gets me through I never thought I’d hear the church bells ringing I never learned the song this heart was singing No regrets I took that step and I’m still falling Saturday night gave me Sunday morning, yeah Sunday morning ************************************************** 5. Blind Love - Jon Bon Jovi - 4:48 https://youtu.be/xbJqBflyli4 Welcome to another hard night You made it through another day Sit at the counter counting tips Can't count on nothing else these days Don't wanna go home to the TV Dont' wanna go down to some bar You grab a blanket Pull the top down And go driving in your car Though your bed's as warm as January On this cold December's night Chorus Close your eyes, love Sleep safe and sound tonight 'cause blind love Is guiding every step I take It's one less I got to make Till I find my way home Try love Welcome to another morning The sun's still shining but it's grey Get out of bed now sleepy head You'd give an arm to hear him say Oh, and no one said that it'd be easy But no one said it'd be this hard Chorus To close your eyes, love Sleep safe and sound tonight 'cause blind love Is guiding every step I take It's one less I've got to make Till I find my way home Try love If there's a patron saint of blind love I hope he keeps me on your mind, love With every moment I'm away We're getting closer to the day We'll never have to say goodbye, love These days it's hard for me to feel the sand beneath my feet With this gunny sack and boots on, oh But no one said this would be easy And no one said it'd be this hard Chorus Close your eyes, love Sleep safe and sound tonight 'cause blind love Is guiding every step I take It's one less I got to make Till I find my way home Try love If there's a patron saint of blind love I hope he keeps me on your mind, love With every moment I'm away We're getting closer to the day We'll never have to say goodbye, love With our blind love Blind love Welcome to another hard night You made it through another day ************************************************** 9. I'm Your Man - Jon Bon Jovi, John Shanks - 3:44 https://youtu.be/YU2WxNUit2U When your heart is hungry, When you want a secret you can keep, You know that you can call me, Anytime for anything you need, No one asking questions, No need for alibis, No need for wasting words, I'm who I am, I'm your man, No job that I can't handle, There ain't much that I ain't done, I'll be that one call that you get, When you can't call no one, When the room is dark and empty, There's no need to explain, Baby I'll come running, here I am, I'm your man, We know not to ask questions, So no one has to lie, We both know without hello, There won't be no goodbyes, No promises that we won't keep, No more to understand, Tonight you're my woman and I'm your man, I'm your man, We both know we're lonely, When we hold each other tight, But we won't ask forgiveness, When we walk away at night, No one asking questions, No need for alibis, No need to say those words, Just take my hand, I'm your man. |

We All Fall Down - Jon Bon Jovi, John Shanks - 4:05 - Posted by Savvi We Fall Down Shattered dreams, stand up and be proud I'm telling you now, yeah Chorus Climb Every Mountain, How high doesn't matter, Don't ever be afraid to fall, Walk out on that wire, Climb every ladder, Keep your back against the wall, And don't be scared to hit the ground, Cos we all (all), fall (fall), down, Down on your luck, you're feeling small The little things seem 10 feet tall, Watch your dreams fall apart at the seams, You wanna scream and shout out loud, When you sit up they knock you down, You're a long way from home, aha But you're never alone, yeah Chorus Climb Every Mountain, How high doesn't matter, Don't ever be afraid to fall, Walk out on that wire, Climb every ladder, Keep your back against the wall, And don't be scared to hit the ground, Cos we all (all), fall (fall), ************************************************** 1:30 sample http://www.mediafire.com/listen/uwho...8sample%29.wav 5. Who Would You Die For? For just one look I'd crawl across the floor, Who would you die for? Who would you die for? Will you write me lipstick letters And miss me when I'm gone? Wake up tangled in the sheets Still aching for my arms? The way you move it's almost holy Hoping you don't know you're only All I want is all of you and more The big bad wolf is knockin' at your door, Chorus Who would you die for? Who would you die for? I wanna know, your secrets and your sins, I wanna feel, your breathing out and in I wanna know, I wanna know Who would you die for? Who would you die for? [Guitar solo] I wanna know what makes you feel, I wanna know love truly heals, I wanna know what makes you feel... ************************************************** 1:30 sample http://www.mediafire.com/listen/c1tj...8sample%29.wav Fingerprints I gave you my fringerprints, Now just like you they're gone, A man invisible, I'll be him from now on, Chorus The last time that I saw them, They were running through your hair, You held (?) one between your lips and brought another there, The last time that I saw them, I haven't seen them since, No matter who or what I touch, I leave no evidence I gave you my fingerprints, I said I'd give you every thing, But who'd thought you'd take it all, Does a promise really break, If nobody sees it fall, A heartbreak can't wash away, The taste of your memory, Don't know what I would do, If you should stop haunting me, Chorus The last time that I saw them, They were running through your hair ************************************************** 1:30 sample http://www.mediafire.com/listen/i8ml...8sample%29.wav - Posted by Savvi Life Is Beautiful You've got all the answers, but the answers are all wrong Chorus I can't save you from my sins, Innocence my long lost friend No wind, no rain can wash away, These hallow words my mouth won't pray, You fly, you fall, Life is beautiful, She's there to lift me up but I only let her down, A guilty king wears a broken crown, She's sweet forgiveness in a lonesome lost and found, Chorus I can't save you from my sins, Innocence my long lost friend No wind, no rain can wash away, These hallow words my mouth won't pray, You fly, you fall, Life is beautiful, ************************************************** Full song https://play.spotify.com/track/5ePw41lieiF7SVzYd8cNd5 9.

Burning Bridges - 2:44 Someone shut the lights off Turn the page The stories I could write I’ve seen a million faces And I’ve lived a couple lives Here's our history For all to see The smiles and all the scars First, the rising, then the falling Call this chapter "Shooting Stars" Must sound good From where you are Sayonara, adios Auf Wiedersehen, farewell Adieu, good night, guten Abend Here's one last song you can sell! Let's call it "Burning Bridges" It's a singalong as well Ciao, adieu, good night, guten Abend Play it for your friends in hell Aaah check the box Yeah! Mark this date There's nothing more to say After 30 years of loyalty They let you dig the grave Now maybe you could learn to sing Or even strum along But I ('ll give/ give / gave?) you half the publishing You're why I wrote the song Everybody, sing along!

Aaah check the box
Yeah! Mark this date There's nothing more to say After 30 years of loyalty They let you dig the grave Now maybe you could learn to sing Or even strum along But I ('ll give/ give / gave?) you half the publishing You're why I wrote the song Wow... Jon said he had a lot of stuff he needed to get off his chest but I never knew Richie's departure had such an impact on him. I don't mean to go THERE again but... makes sense. This album's lyrics are some of the best Jon has ever wrote. I don't care if it's a 'fan album'. It's good and that's that. |

It's like Lennon releasing 'How Do You Sleep?' and denying it's about McCartney. |

Just a detail: in A Teardrop To The Sea, in the last chorus, there's "no bitter goodbyes".
I'd love to know what the inspiration for this song was and how old is this. I really love this song, its dark mood, something we haven't heard for some time from this band. Has anyone already written down the lyrics of I'm Your Man? I don't wanna do it :) |
