“Dulcie Taylor’s music reflects real life, real emotion … by a truly wonderful and gifted musician. Her songs tell stories that can be heard over and over and enjoyed each time. Dulcie is not only a gifted singer/songwriter, but she is a great performer as well. I’d pay just to hear her talk! This album, “Free Of This Sorrow” deserves 5 stars and more.”
Amazon Music Review
I’ve never been a stranger to sorrow
I’ve known it since my mother’s knee
I’ve spent my life searching for something
To ease the pain inside of me
Sometimes I’m on top of the mountain
The world is mine and all of its gold
Then my sorrow comes calling
The sun goes dark and I feel so cold
Late at night and I’m driving
Listening to the motor whine
All my demons ride beside me
Will I be free of this sorrow
Someday before I die
I’ve never been lucky in love
It builds me up just to knock me down
My pain is now my armor
My heartaches are who I am
Late at night and I’m driving
Listening to the motor whine
All my demons ride beside me
Will I be free of this sorrow
Someday before I die
The leaves are turning
Cold wind blowing from the North
If I keep on down this highway
Maybe I’ll find what I’m looking for
Late at night and I’m driving
Listening to the motor whine
All my demons ride beside me
Will I be free of this sorrow
Someday before I die
Will I be free of the is sorrow
Someday before I die
I came across this picture of myself today
That’s your hand on my shoulder, I’d know it any place
So many love affairs don’t go the distance
I thought we would be different
Found out I was wrong
We’re just another everyday tragedy
We’re just another everyday tragedy
Losing each other, how slowly it starts
A tiny little drift turns into miles apart
We sang to each other, we invented the kiss
There’s so much I miss
Ever since we became
Just another everyday tragedy
We’re just another everyday tragedy
Nobody’s to blame that we didn’t last
And I can see some things we might could’ve changed
Now looking back
Nobody’s to blame that we didn’t last
And I hope and pray some day
I’ll love again like that
I came across this picture I forgot that I had
From when we were together before it got so bad
Remember how we laughed, how we fought like the devil
We lost something special
It can still make me sad
We’re just another everyday tragedy
We’re just another everyday tragedy
We’re just another everyday tragedy
Other men have told me they loved me more often than you
Other men have talked of their feelings more easily too
But when you tell me I’m beautiful I know you mean it
You drive me wild, my man of few words
You never ask for any advice, that’s so different from me
I want to hear my friends’ opinions, that something I need
But you’re always willing to give me all your attention
You’re so sweet, my man of few words
When the world has me crazy, you know just what to say
To make me laugh, make it all go away
When I’m caught in some trouble, you know just what to do
You hold me in your arms, help me see my way through
Time will leave its mark on our faces, we know that for sure
Time will bring change to our bodies, but our hearts will endure
And the way I feel when I look at you will never change
I’ll always love you, my man of few words
Other men have told me they loved me more often than you
Other men have talked of their feelings more easily too
But when you tell me I’m beautiful I know you mean it
You’re so sweet, my man of few words
What would I do if I didn’t have you, my man of few words
You drive me wild, my man of few words
I know this walk together
Is the last one we will take
Down to where creek bottom meets the river
Where we first became engaged
Tonight we’ve decided it’s over
The moon is rising full and high
The sky’s a piece of dark blue velvet
Don’t hold me, don’t try to hold me
Let go of me, goodbye
You tell me we’ll both love again
What you say is true
But part of my heart will always
Belong to you, belong to you
Tonight we’ve decided it’s over
The moon is rising full and high
The sky’s a piece of dark blue velvet
Don’t hold me, don’t you try to hold me
Let go of me, goodbye
My home lies north beyond the water
I’ll cross the bridge alone this time
No sweetheart will walk along beside me
No sweet voice will call “Darling, mine”
Oh I will hold the nighttime like a lover
I’ll kiss the moon so full and high
I will wear blue velvet for a cover
I will love you, I will love you
‘Til the day I die
I will love you, I will love you
‘Til the day I die
I will love you, I will love you
I will love you, I will love you
All along the river the campfires are lighting
The soldiers are making an evening meal
The horses are bedded, the big guns are quiet now
A rest for the weary from the battlefield
On one side a boy from way down in Georgia
Is thinking about Macon where he’d rather be
On one side a boy from up in Illinois
Is thinking about Springfield where he’d rather be
One wears blue, one wears gray
But they’re hard to tell apart, a difference to see
They’re both covered in dust, they both put their trust
In the same God above, that’s the sweet irony
Some have family, some have friends
That fight on the other side of the battle line
Holding a rifle ready to fire
Not knowing what body the bullets may find
One wears blue, one wears gray
But they’re hard to tell apart, a difference to see
They’re both covered in dust, they both put their trust
In the same God above, that’s the sweet irony
All along the river the campfires are lighting
The soldiers are making an evening meal
The horses are bedded, the big guns are quiet now
A rest for the weary from the battlefield
All along the river the campfires are lighting
Everybody needs the feeling of loving hands
Some need a lot, some just a little will do
You know you got a good thing when you’re giving from your heart
And what you need is coming back to you
Love can take you high
Love can make you cry
Make your life worth living or leaving behind
Love, love
Everybody gets a turn singing a hard goodbye song
Hurt so bad, bring you down to your knees
When you get back on your feet if you still believe
In the power of love, you got everything you need
Love can take you high
Love can make you cry
Make your life worth living or leaving behind
Love, love
Love, love
Nobody knows just where we’re going
Riding this beautiful spinning ball
Under the sunshine, under the stars
What are the blessings I hold to my heart
My real good man, a little bit of piece in my mind
Friends who understand me, sharing the road
My whole life beautiful secrets to find
Love can take you high
Love can make you cry
Make your life worth living or leaving behind
Love, love
Love, love
She got a cigarette at sixteen from a friend
She tried her best but she never put them down again
I was her youngest, by the time I came along
Momma sounded like Louis Armstrong
She never knew it, but sometimes I’d count
When she’d inhale to see when the smoke came out
Mississippi one, Mississippi two, Mississippi ten
Sometimes it never came back again
I sang beside her in that Baptist pew
Her voice was like gravel but right in tune
Those songs are deep in my soul
Drifting, drifting
Through my mind like cigarette smoke
Single Momma, three girls to raise
Pushed and shoved, working hard all day
She never gave up, she never gave in, she never turned away
And she could laugh ‘til the tears ran down her face
I sang beside her in that Baptist pew
Her voice was like gravel but right in tune
Those songs are deep in my soul
Drifting, drifting
Through my mind like cigarette smoke
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise him all creatures here below
When she died I found she’d saved so many things
My college papers, my Girl Scout ring
And a letter I’d written her from far away
Thanking her for teaching me to pray
I hear her singing in that Baptist pew
Her voice is like gravel but right in tune
Those songs are deep in my soul
Drifting, drifting
Through my mind like cigarette smoke
Through my mind like cigarette smoke
Throw me something I can hold onto
To keep me from slipping away
Tell me something, you gotta help me understand
Just be sure you mean what you say
When we look at each other you know what we see, you know what we see
A woman who loves you, a man who loves me
Whatever comes I’m here for you, I’m here for you
There’s very little I wouldn’t do
But there’s one thing you don’t ask me
I love you too much for you to ask me
To be a fool
So disconnected, it’s like I’m lost in a bad dream
Day and night, they don’t matter anymore
I’ve got to get back to the woman I am
And what it is I came here for
When we look at each other you know what we see, you know what we see
A woman who loves you, a man who loves me
Whatever comes I’m here for you, I’m here for you
There’s very little I wouldn’t do
But there’s one thing you don’t ask me
I love you too much for you to ask me
To be a fool
We can get through this together it could even turn out better
Than what we had
But there’s a part of me that’s gone
And it won’t be back
When we look at each other you know what we see, you know what we see
A woman who loves you, a man who loves me
Whatever comes I’m here for you, I’m here for you
There’s very little I wouldn’t do
But there’s one thing you don’t ask me
I love you too much for you to ask me
To be a fool
Don’t you ask me, I love you too much
To be your fool
It glows in this dark room
Like something in a dream
A film from a party
On the tv screen
Look at you and me
Laughing and singing a song
We sure had the real thing
Where did we go wrong
Where did we go wrong
We started out so right
We were sailing, flying high
Where did we go wrong
We started out so right
We had enough love to light up the night
Did we stumble
Cause we went too fast
Was there just too much love
How could that be bad
Where did we go wrong
We started out so right
We were sailing, flying high
Where did we go wrong
We started out so right
We had enough love to light up the night
My friends tell me
I’ve got to get on with my life
I know they mean well
I know that they’re right
Let me tell you
Tell you just what you had
You had all of my heart
From the first kiss to the last
I want you to know
You had all my heart
From the first kiss to the last
From the first kiss to the last
Where did we go wrong
We started out so right
We were sailing, flying high
Where did we go wrong
We started out so right
We had enough love to light up the night
Susie lets Johnny tell her what to do
What to think and how to feel
It’s gone on so long she’s forgotten the woman
She’s always wanted to be
Amor malo, amor malo
You know bad love
Will push you around
Linda tells Billy lies to his face
And he knows it as it’s going down
But he smiles and acts like he believes every word
He wants so bad to keep her around
Amor malo, amor malo
You know bad love
Will push you around
Amor malo, amor malo
You know bad love
Will push you around
If you build a House of Love
Then live in it alone
You’re not living in a House of Love
You’re in a love-free zone
You nay wonder who do I think I am
Giving unsolicited advice
Well, I just broke free of real bad love
I’m completely qualified
Amor malo, amor malo
You know bad love
Will push you around
Amor malo, amor malo
Don’t let bad love
Push you around
Had a bad dream wake me up last night
Afraid, didn’t even know why
Lay there in bed in the dark and then I realized
Sometimes we’re all little children on the sea of life
Help me Lord, to find my way
Under clear skies, under dark rain
Help me Lord, God of all
The sea is so wide, my boat is so small
When I sail at night help me to know
Which stars will guide me home
When I’ve done wrong let me admit it and say so
When I’ve been hurt let me forgive it and let it go
Help me Lord, to find my way
Under clear skies, under dark rain
Help me Lord, God of all
The sea is so wide, my boat is so small
Sometimes hard to know what’s real
But I know what I want, I know what I feel
Give me the wisdom to see
When I should just let it be
Help me Lord, to find my way
Under clear skies, under dark rain
Help me Lord, God of all
The sea is so wide, my boat is so small
The sea is so wide, my boat is so small
