1. I NEVER LOVED A MAN(THE WAY I LOVE YOU)
[Words & Music by Ronnie Shannon
As performed by Allison Crowe]
You're no good, heart breaker
You're a liar and you're a cheat
And I don't know why I let you do these things to me
My friends keep telling me that you ain't no good
Oh, Lord, they don't know, that I'd leave you if I could
I guess I'm uptight, but I'm stuck like glue
I ain't never, I ain't never,
I ain't never, no, no, loved a man the way that I, I love you
A long time ago I thought that you'd run out of fools
But I was so wrong, and now ya got one you'll never lose
The way that you treat me is a shame,
How could you hurt me so bad?
Oh, baby you know that I'm the best thing that you ever had
Kiss me once again
Don't you never, never, never say that we're through
Cause I ain't never, I ain't never,
I ain't never, no no, loved a man the way that I, I love you
I can't sleep at night, I can't eat a bite
I guess I'll never be free, since you've got your hooks in me
Yeah, yeah yeah
I ain't never loved a man
I ain't never had a man treat me so bad
So I tell you just what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna hold you, I'm gonna hold you
Hold you...
I ain't never loved a man the way that I love you...

2. WHETHER I AM WRONG
Don't want to raise my head
The world is covered in rage
Voices calling out in anger
Entering erratically into another age
Shadow puppets on the wall
Don't know who to believe
In the darkness standing tall
With a smile upon your face
And I have a right, to
Have a voice, have a say
Whether I'm wrong, or whether I'm right
It doesn't really matter anymore
You've put up a wall
You've put up a fight
And now it seems we've forgotten
What all that was for
Whether you don't want to
Or whether you can't see
What is right in front of your face
Time is running out
And we're already losing ground
With the human race
Don't want to raise my hand
Don't know why I'm scared to say
I feel like I want to call out
Feel like I want to run away
And I don't know why anyone
Should have to suffer anymore
I don't know a lot of anything
But I do wonder what all of this is for
And you have a right, too
To have a voice, have a say
Whether I'm wrong
Or whether I'm right
It doesn't really matter anymore
You've put up a wall
We've put up a fight
And now it seems we've forgotten
What all of that was for
Whether you don't want to
Or whether you can't see
What is right in front of your face
Time is running out
And we're already losing ground
With the human race

3. ALIVE AND BREATHING.
[Words & Music by Allison Crowe]
I am falling
And I can't hear the words
That you are saying to me
But I know that I will survive
No matter what you do to me
I know I will stay....
CHORUS
Alive
believe it or not
I don't care
I'm still here
Breathing
believe it or not
I don't mind
I'm still here
I am flying
And I will not accept the lies
that you are spitting at me
And now I know that
even in weightlessness and fear
I have to stand my ground.
CHORUS
Alive
believe it or not
I don't care
I'm still here
Breathing
Believe it or not
I don't mind
I'm still here

4. SILENCE
Silence
In the darkness of your soul
Following your call
Grey skies
Belong to me
Open my eyes
Rain falls
On you
On me
I cannot control
Where I am
supposed to be
Bring the winds
That carry you
Bring them to me
I will hold
This rebel light
This renegade sea
Rain falls
On you
On me
You cannot control
Where you
Are supposed to be
I wait in the dark
I carry these chains
I roam through this night
No I’ll not open the door
For you to be free
For you to take flight
Rain falls
On you
On me
we cannot control
Where we
Are supposed to be

5. NOW
As I walk this hall alone I wonder
exactly why it is I'm leaving
when there's nothing there for me to return to
other than blind faith
with a lack of believing
and not to say that I have nothing
I have everything and I am grateful
but my head is trying to tell me something
in this state of mind I feel so hateful
and I don't understand
and I'm not going to try to because
now that I've seen it
I couldn't walk away no
even if I wanted to, yes
now that I've seen it
even though I'm leaving now
every bit of me is still there
well I am filled with a quiet resolution
and questions posed without solution
and in my realm of indecision
finally I feel as though I can see something
and though this beacons ever flashing
I can't revisit without rehashing
when I'm stuck in where I created fear
I can not fix myself from here
and I'm starting to understand
at least in this state I believe something because
now that I've seen it
I couldn't walk away no
even if I wanted to, yes
now that I've seen it
even though I'm leaving now
every bit of me is still there
the amount of times
I've seen the edge
of my own head
is unrelenting
the floor falls out
and I am left with
thoughts that move
without consenting
when all I want is peace
and all I want to believe in
is knowing without seeing
and wanting without fear
now that I've seen it
I couldn't walk away no
even if I wanted to, yes
now that I've seen it
even though I'm leaving now
every bit of me is still there

6. THERE IS
Open up your door
I know we've both been here before
But there's a shadow fading here
A revolution on its way
Open up your mind
I know I've drowned in there before
But my wings are drying off
And I am ready to dive in
I am coming back again
To you
A way
There is a way
Out of this
There is
Give me a minute
I'll try to explain myself to you
I am the girl who is always with you
The one who's always watching
Give me a break I thought that you
understood this already
And I'm not trying to deceive you
I don't have that much time on my hands
And I am not going to leave you alone
A way
There is a way
Out of this
There is
I see you in the rain
and you are more beautiful
than I have ever seen
And when I walk I want you with me
And I see your smile above me
and I know, I know there is
A way
there is a way
out of this
there is.

7. HALLELUJAH
[Words & Music by Leonard Cohen
As performed & Transcribed by Allison Crowe]
I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Well, it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well, your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well, baby, I've been here before.
I've seen this room, and I've walked this floor.
I used to live alone before I knew you.
But I've seen your flag on the marble arch,
And love is not a victory march,
It's a cold and it is a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well, there was a time when you'd let me know
What's really going on below,
But now you never show that to me, do you?
But remember when I moved in you,
And the Holy Ghost was moving too,
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well, maybe there is a God above,
But all that I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you.
It's not a cry that you hear at night,
And it is not somebody who has seen the light
It's a cold and it is a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
