Sweet Heat
(6:08)
Nick Jameson - Sea of Keys Music - BMI
My lover is a signifier
She keeps her eyes on me
She makes me feel like a fool sometimes
You know she works on a level that I can't see
She found me all wound up and she sure 'nough put me free
You know her sweet heat took all the cool out of me
One time she told me
That my love was just a game
I said, "baby, you might be right
But it's real just the same"
She said, "now honey I just don't believe you heard what I said
You got to love me with your heart
I couldn't care less about all that mess in your head"
She knows that what I am ain't what I seem to be
Real love is not an easy thing for long
Always shows to let me know where I'm going wrong
Sweet heat hovers all around me singing such a soulful song
And everything that's happening is bringing it on
I tried to tell her "I got lots of things on my mind"
She laughed and said "hey baby
Sure hope I'm not wasting your precious time"
I stood there looking crazy, people
She just sat there looking fine
I said "wipe that smile off your face,
Girl come over and put it on mine
She never needs a reason to get on top of me
You know her sweet heat just knocks all the cool right out of me
Sweet heat, yeah she sure got the cure for what's ailing me
Sweet heat just burned all the cool right out of me
Sweet heat, I used to be just just as cool as I could be
Sweet heat made a stone happy fool out of me
Already Free

Girl you feel like grooving, but you can't seem to start
You got some kind of shadow hanging over your heart
You think there must be a secret that you don't know
Something to free you, so that you can let go
Turn on your loving energy, put a hold on that useless misery
Honey listen to me
Such a sweet simplicity, what does it take to make you see
That you're already free
A whole lot of confusion doesn't have to be
You don't need to believe in what you can't see
And you don't need an answer to what's on your mind
Just listen to your heart girl, it's beatin' right in time
You know that love is a whirlwind, gonna turn you around
If you try to stand still, y'all, it's bound to knock you right down
But the world is waiting to step over that line
You know the whole damn planet is just looking for a sign
In The Blue
(6:59)
Nick Jameson - Sea of Keys Music - BMI
Days get wasted, nights get lost in blue
Consolations don't come across in the blue
Feels like love ain't even half the story
Find the pain and lose only glory
And it sure don't seem like
None of these dreams will ever come true
In the blue
Big situations just make you feel small, yes they do
And fast talking won't help you at all in the blue
Now it looks like hope ain't never gonna find me
All my actions only trap and bind me
And it don't even matter not more what's good and what's true
In the blue
You know it comes in disguise and takes you by surprise
Sometimes you can't even tell if it's real
But I'm going down slow and I just don't know
It seems this ain't no way for a man to feel
They say that romance pays in advance for the blue
Lord have mercy, I'd hate to believe that's true
I need some help to face another minute
Blue is here and I'm sure 'nough caught up in it now
Oh baby can't you see what I'm going through
Sinking down in the blue
Now sometimes sadness can open your eyes
Make you love everything you see
Oh but this time of evening and the way that I'm feeling
I just need somebody loving me
They say that romance pays in advance for the blue
Lord have mercy, I'd hate to believe that's true
I need some help to face another minute
Blue is here and I'm sure 'nough caught up in it now
Oh baby can't you see what I'm going through
I'm sinking down in the blue
I Ain't Searching
(4:14)

I won't ask you no more questions
I didn't like your answers anyway
Now you might think I lack direction
In the things I do and say
I'm not looking for to score
And I don't want your game to play
'Cause I ain't searching anymore
I think I've found a way
Once I thought that it looked hopeless
I didn't know what I was looking for
Now I know though I know nothing
There's no one could show me any more
Now you might think I'm a liar
And you can say I'm unkind
But what's the use of always seeking
When there's nothing left to find?
When The Blues Come Calling
(5:38)
Nick Jameson - Sea of Keys Music - BMI
Feeling like some kind of fool
Without a thing to say
Trying to figure out what to do
Just to get beyond this day
Seems there ain't a single thing
That'll ever get you through
When the blues come calling
Looking for you
Should I try to save my face
Or leave it flat on the floor
Maybe find some other place
Where I won't need it anymore
You know the reasons for your life
Just fade right out of view
When the blues come calling
Looking for you
Something's happening to me, feel like I'm losing ground
Blues are blowing through me, such a sad, sad sound
When there's nothing left to see
But the road in front of your
That's when the blues come calling
Looking for you
That's when the blues come calling
Looking for you
Help me for a little while, feel like I'm losing my mind
It's so hard to raise a smile when your love is on the line
When you're walking all alone
Down the same old avenue
That's when the blues come calling
Looking for you
Yeah, that's when the blues come calling
Looking for you
I Know What It Is
(5:26)
Nick Jameson - Sea of Keys Music - BMI
Ooh baby, you got my poor soul a'shaking
You're looking so good and you feel so bad
It seems like your heart is aching
You got a look on your face like a cloudy day
I think I know what's behind it
You're looking for love but the world's in your way
You don't believe you'll ever find it
You just want to let the whole thing go
Because of what you've seen, you're tired of being
Just an actor in a second rate shoe
Well I know what it is, but I don't mind
Sweet baby let me tell your 'bout the loving that we can find
Well I know what it is, but I don't care
Well come on down, we'll take your blues to town
We're gonna lose them there
Now when you look at this mess
You can't find any reason for staying
When you feel bad, the world looks sad
It don't seem like the game is worth playing
Well you can philosophize
Till you think you've discovered what's true
But all it ever takes is one little shake
And you see that you ain't got a clue
You say you'd like to let the whole thing slide
Now don't break my heart, come on, stick on for the ride
I know what it is, but I don't mind
Pretty baby let me tell you 'bout the happiness that we can find
I know what it is, but I don't care
Let's take it on down to the bottom
We gonna leave it there
Take it like your find it, make it like you want it
Take it like your find it, make it like you want it
Some people talk about the world
Like it's some kind of big mistake
They say your never can see the woods for the trees
You can't see the boat for the wake
Well, you know what they say about the bird in the hand
And I really do believe it
I'd rather keep cookin' and take my stand
Than back it on up and leave it
Sometimes I feel like I want to take a big fat pass
Well I don't care how much I got to bust my yas yas yas
I know what it is, but I don't mind
Sweet baby let me tell your 'bout the loving that we can find
Well I know what it is, but I don't care
Well come on down, we'll take your blues to town
We'll sure lose them there
I know what it is, but I don't mind
Come on baby we can dance our way out of the double bind
I know what it is, but I don't care
We gonna take it on down to the bottom
We gonna leave it there
The Long Way Round (Live)
(2:45)

Now we've come to the end
My beautiful friend
Looks like the time is near
Though a part of me knows
That it's right to let go
Wish I could hold you here
All the dreams that we were
And the thoughts that we shared
Led to the love we found
As wandered through the years
On our way back to here
Taking the long way round
Who could ever know
All that I've seen through you?
And still you unfold in everything I do
All the way to the end
From the day we began
Taking the long way through
