The last song from the album,[Verse 1]
No matter how I try, I end up on the ground
Another orphan waitin' in the lost-and-found
Over and over, I take it on the chin
Fists up to the world, fighting a fight I cannot win[Chorus]
Help me lay my weapons down
Help me give the love I feel
Help me hold myself with kindness
And help me heal
Remove all of the false
Show me what is real
Oh Lord, help me heal[Verse 2]
Yeah, I'm tough but I wasn't born this way
I grew hard because I had to, carrying the weight
I wanna let it go, I wanna set it free
But everywhere I turn the fight follows me[Chorus]
Help me lay my weapons down
Help me give the love I feel
Help me hold myself with kindness
And help me heal
Remove all of the false
Show me what is real
Oh Lord, help me heal[Chorus]
Help me lay my weapons down
Help me give the love I feel
Help me hold myself with kindness
And help me heal
Remove all of the false
Show me what is real
Oh Lord, help me heal -

Jess Williamson - Chasing Spirits - from Album "Time is Accidental". Good album but it is the type of style I like. LOL

Are my love songs lies now that the love is gone?
There's the one about forever
And loving you in a past life or whatever
The difference between us
Is when I sing it, I really mean it
But I guess I wasn't listening
'Cause you always had the same questions[Chorus 1]
You've been chasing spirits
And staying up all night
You said if you don't rein it in
You're shaving ten years off your life[Verse 2]
I tried to come to you, but you didn't like the way I asked
But there's nothing in L.A. for mе
Just a lonely singer at the bеach
I could start a garden with the landlord
Something good and simple
And worth staying in town for
I was pulling cards while you jumped the cattle guard
They say lovin's hard[Chorus 2]
You've been chasing spirits
And I'm still chasing them lights
Now, who is a bigger mystic?
And who's winning a bar fight? -

"MAN OF THE PEOPLE is about the person who stands behind the disgraced politician, the religious leader that’s been caught in a sex scandal. The wife, the girlfriend, the husband, the partner, whoever is the family, the children—the people that stand behind these figures that are disgraceful. The collateral damage. I pity these people sometimes." - SW
Lyrics:
Trust, you know how to take it
Love, you know how to fake itAnd I will be there beside you
The camera eye, the drug is just to be near youHey, well I can take rejection
Hey, what does it take to get your attention?
Cos you’re a man of the people
A man of the people
And I’m just part of the planI lie here like a dog
And think of all I would undo
Anyone would go
But I got nowhere to go toAnd what is left of us?
Now there’s only the cinders
Ambition froze me out
Like a demonic winterHey, well I can take rejection
Hey, what does it take to get your attention?
Cos you’re a man of the people
A man of the people
And I’m just part of the planHush now, the winter gets you
Hush now, the winter gets you down -

If you enjoy swing check out the band Asleep at the Wheel. They put out a lot great albums over the years. I really like their live albums - catches the spirit of swing as it should be.
