Carry On

You have everything one morning
A girl, a plan, a way
The flowers, they smell sweetly
Before she turns, and looks the other way
There’s nothing you could ask for
There’s nothing more you need
Then that day comes a-calling
It leaves you so, sullen on your knees
I’ve seen you try
But that ain’t no way to carry on
You think you’re better off yesterday
You need more time
Take it from me and carry on
It’ll all make sense someday
I’ve seen you try
No point in looking back there
You’ll miss what’s up ahead
Give the new day a chance to show you
All that’s coming to, see you smile again
I’ve seen you try
But that ain’t no way to carry on
You think you’re better off yesterday
You need more time
Take it from me and carry on
It’ll all make sense someday

Locked Out
04:47
|

I’ve been holding out my hand to you
I don’t know if you really care, about me
I’ve been waiting on this rendezvous
Time will tell if you will take my hand
But I don’t see, you ever sticking up for me
Help me out today
I’ve been locked out, I need a hand from you
I’m still alive today
I ain’t got long before my time is through
It’s been a long time since I lived like you
Still holding hope that you will care, some day
Don’t know what’s going on, can’t see from here
Do you know that all’s not well with me?
But let me say, you gotta please see it my way
Help me out today
I’ve been locked out, I need a hand from you
I’m still alive today
I ain’t got long before my time is through
Don’t turn your back on me
I’ve been locked out, so stand up to the few
Do what you want for me
I only ask you see my point of view
Don’t go that way
I’m here just hanging on
Don’t be ashamed to say
It ain’t right by you
What they do to me
So come on friend and…
Don’t go that way
Help me out today
I’ve been locked out, I need a hand from you
I’m still alive today
I ain’t got long before my time is through
Don’t turn your back on me
I’ve been locked out, so stand up to the few
Do what you want for me
I only ask you see my point of view
Don’t go that way
I’m here just hanging on
Don’t be ashamed to say
It ain’t right by you
What they do to me
So come on friend and…
Don’t go that way

Way With Me
05:18
|
|||
You got a way with me
It’s what you do to me
Your ways just light up everything that makes me, me
You got a way with me
Let’s count them 1, 2, 3
I’ve been so damn lied to, it takes me all that I can be
It comes, it goes
Before the rain, it snows
It surely knows my name
You got a way with me
It’s all you help me see
I’ve been blind to all that keeps me from being free
It comes, it goes
Before the rain, it snows
It surely knows my name
I don’t mind saying, no one likes to be alone
Say maybe, only just to hear you phone
Tried praying, just to have you come on home
My dear
I’ll keep on riding, up the hill and through the night
Keep trying, I’m in your corner of your fight
From hiding, only what you feel is right
My dear
You don’t wanna go back to the same old town
Only look at what’s in front of you
I don’t wanna live without you near my side
I’ll try to change and make it right by you
I don’t mind saying, no one likes to be alone
Say maybe, only just to hear you phone
Tried praying, just to have you come on home
My dear
I’ll keep on riding, up the hill and through the night
Keep trying, I’m in your corner of your fight
From hiding, only what you feel is right
My dear
I hope I might be everything you hoped to find
Go run free, hoping you’ll come back in time
That I see, knowing you were never mine
My dear

Until The Sun Goes Down
04:58
|

I’ve been deprived at feeding time again
The hunger lasts until you take my hand
This time I’m holding strong
You tell me not to be somebody’s plan
I don’t know if I’m gonna win
This time I’m gone, oh yeah
It’s easy just to turn your back on it
Trying to find what really makes you tick
I’m sure you won’t regret it just one bit
So make time
Try to look into your heart, not mine
I promise I’ll be close there right beside you
Reach inside and pull it out, held high
My friend
I ain’t done nothing since I don’t know when
I don’t know if I’m gonna be here again, but
I know that I’m gonna be around
To hold you baby, until the sun goes down
I ain’t seen my baby since I don’t know when
I don’t know if I’m gonna see her again, but
I know that I’m gonna be around
To hold you baby, until the sun goes down
Let’s take a drive and pull one out, get high
Watching all the clouds as they float by
One day we’ll fly away
Swim across to see the other side
The river’s wide so keep your head held high
Fight from being swept away
I ain’t done nothing since I don’t know when
I don’t know if I’m gonna be here again, but
I know that I’m gonna be around
To hold you baby, until the sun goes down
I ain’t seen my baby since I don’t know when
I don’t know if I’m gonna see her again, but
I know that I’m gonna be around
To hold you baby, until the sun goes down
I wish that I could’ve been a better man
Got time to fix me one hell of a plan
Don’t go too soon cause you’ll miss all I am
It won’t be long until the sun goes down
Oh yeah

Outta My Head
04:20
|
|||
Emerged from the dark, wishing someone my way
A pleasant surprise seeing who showed up that day
I put on my best jeans and turned up fashionably late
With no chance to talk to her, boys by her side
I reached for my beer, thought I’d buy me some time
I walked to the bar hoping she’d see me playing it cool
I was finding out then that,
I can’t get you outta my head
Noticed the smiles she shot sweetly each day
Both jumped at the chance to share more of our ways
With a bottle of whisky, there was more than the truth being laid
I should’ve known back then that,
I can’t get you outta my head
Reach out beside me, you’re there when I need you
Times can be hard but we know they’ll get better
I promise you this, through the good and the bad, that
I’ll do what I can tonight, kiss you and hold you tight
Baby, oh yeah
While she’s away, it seems clearer to me
Love’s all we have to grow, all that we’ll need
I sure hope that love’s like, that whisky that brought her to me
Try as I might well,
I can’t get you outta my head
Seems like I miss you
I can’t get you outta my head
I can’t wait just to hold you
I can’t get you outta my head

Daylight
07:25
|
|||
Tell me my future, don’t tell me no lies
I won’t believe wrong, only tell me what’s right
Don’t wait up for me
I said I’d live by my time
Paint me a picture, don’t spin me a line
Tomorrow will come, will you be by my side?
They say it means nothing
I guess we all know who we are
Daylight again, with your back against the wall
Light up my way, or see me fall
Night falls again, with your back still on the wall
Light up my way
You’re riding my wave, clear sign that
You’re right in my way, this time
Oh yeah
Show me a new way, I’ll follow you there
Can’t promise that I will see all that you can
Come close, ride beside me
But please don’t you get in my way
Daylight again, with your back against the wall
Light up my way, or see me fall
Night falls again, with your back still on the wall
Light up my way
You’re riding my wave, clear sign that
You’re right in my way, this time
Oh yeah

The Watcher
05:52
|

I keep losing a track
Of what I’ve got here right now
I keep wandering off
To the places and times I can bear
I turn a blind eye
To the signs as they pass me on by
And it seems to me now
The more I hold on comes despair
Time takes away
Time won’t wait a day
If I listen to them
Will I get time to be who I am?
They keep filling the gaps
They just don’t seem to understand
Let go of all time
Be the bird whistling tunes in your head
And take stock of it all
Only you will feel it in the end
Time takes away
Time won’t wait a day
Wait out the back for me
Don’t go running away
It’s time to be watching me
Try go back to my ways

Wish I Could've Seen You
03:42
|
|||
So brief was our time
She said she was mine
To greet me alone was her plan
Let’s take our time
I won’t leave you behind
We didn’t know time was not our best friend
I went to a lady, she said I was crazy
To put my heart on the line
I’ll never look back, with regret my dear friend
I wish I could’ve seen you at all
She flew on back home
I could tell by her tone
She couldn’t wait just to be by my side
Well something went wrong
She was suddenly gone
I didn’t know she’d been here all along
I went to a lady, she said I was crazy
To put my heart on the line
I’ll never look back, with regret my dear friend
I wish I could’ve seen you at all
I went to a lady, she said I was crazy
To put my blessed heart on the line
I’ll never look back, with regret my dear friend
I wish I could’ve seen you at all
I wish I could’ve seen you at all

Down The River
04:22
|

Won’t you sail me down the river
On this cold, cold night
Won’t you sail me down the river
Won’t you take me tonight
Won’t you sail me down the river
On this cold, cold night
Won’t you sail me down the river
See me through the night

Red Light Beaters Wellington, New Zealand
Red Light Beaters’ debut album boasts ten diverse tracks with striking, melodic vocals and backing harmonies weaved amongst the subtle interplay of guitars and a rock solid rhythm section. While a couple of tracks lean more towards the commercial appeal of pop music, some enjoy the charm of worthy alt-country, while the rest tip their hat towards rock influences of the early 90’s. ... more
