Fall To Pieces 03:27
lyrics
buy track
If I've done you harm I'll admit I was wrong Just tell what I have done 'Cause I've got to try And it's been too long To let all that hurt make you numb Or we could throw it all away If we've said all we need to say I know I can't make it all alone Because I'd fall to pieces if I ever lost you Tell what I must do God as my witness, we can make it I swear This burden I just cannot bear I can understand that this is your life And sometimes things won't go right I'll do what I can to swallow my pride over feelings you just can't fight Or we could throw it all away If we've said all we need to say I know I can't make it all alone Because I'd fall to pieces if I ever lost you Tell what I must do God as my witness, we can make it, I swear This burden I just cannot bear I don't believe we should throw it all away All my words I mean when I say I love you more than anything I've ever known Because I'd fall to pieces if I ever lost you Tell what I must do God as my witness, we can make it, I swear This burden I just cannot bear Because I'd fall to pieces if I ever lost you Tell what I must do God as my witness, we can make it, I swear This burden I just cannot bear

Only Your Love 03:27
lyrics

I was waiting for my love to come along On and on, until you walked by Then everything was right, and everything was fine 'Cause you're mine And I thought I'd never fall so hard That I'm loving everything you are But so far Only your love can sooth my heart, it's true So goodbye to my blues, baby I'm in love with you I'm in love with you I started thinking about the man I used to be I wasn't me until I found you Now I'm no longer blue and life is so much more 'Cause I'm yours And all of my heartache's in the past And I thought I'd never fall so fast But at last Only your love can sooth my heart, it's true So goodbye to my blues, baby I'm in love with you I'm in love with you I'm in love with you And I thought I'd never fall so hard That I'm loving everything you are But so far, far Only your love can sooth my heart, it's true So goodbye to my blues, baby I'm in love with you Only your love can sooth my heart, it's true So goodbye to my blues, baby I'm in love with you I'm in love with you I'm in love with you I'm in love with you I'm in love with you

My Next Big Mistake 03:24
lyrics
buy track
You look like my next big mistake You look like that kind of heartbreak Are you worth all the trouble I would find myself in If I fall for you the way I am dying to? I'll fall hard for you I'll fall hard for you I'm such a sucker for a pretty face You've got those arms that look like warm embrace You've got that smile that just drives me wild If it was only for a month or two it'd be worthwhile And you look like my next big mistake and you look like that kind of heartbreak Are you worth all the trouble I would find myself in If I fall for you the way I am dying to? Fall hard for you Fall hard for you I'll bring you flowers over your lunch hour We'll picnic in the park I'll bring you home before dark Introduce me to your mother if you decide for yourself that the time we spend together is worth putting me through hell And you look like my next big mistake And you look like that kind of heartbreak Are you worth all the trouble I would find myself in If I fall for you the way I am dying to? I'll fall hard for you I'll fall hard for you And it's so hard to be straightforward these days It'll take me months to get over you or years of love in vain And it's so easy to give up But I'll take your word if you say That falling for you is worth my tears falling like rain Yeah You look like my next big mistake You look like that kind of heartbreak Are you worth all the trouble I would find myself in If I fall for you the way I am dying to? I'll fall hard for you And you look like my next big mistake I'll fall hard for you And you look like my next big mistake I'll fall hard for you Fall for you the way I am dying to

Dreaming 03:24
lyrics

I'll keep believing that we're meant to be So deep were the feelings when you were with me So why aren't you with me tonight? Tell me how to make things right Because, my love I'll keep dreaming these dreams of you and I Things you're in need of I'll get them for you I would not mistreat love You know that it's true So why aren't you with me tonight? Tell me how to make things right Because, my love I'll keep dreaming these dreams of you and I Once I held you close When we were young Well, heaven knows, love carries on It's never gone So sweetly lives on So why aren't you with me tonight? Tell me how to make things right Because, my love I'll keep dreaming I'll keep believing I'll keep on dreaming these dreams of you and I

Win Some/Lose Some/Lonesome 03:03
lyrics
buy track
Well, I happened upon some memories the other day And what made them happy in the first place has gone away Now, all that's left is sadness and sorrow Will they still be here come tomorrow As I fall knee-deep into the heartache I've come to know? Now I could check in the lost and found Hang Wanted posters up all over town And if I knew some people who would tell me where to look, I would phone some I will win some I'll lose some And I'm lonesome There's a stranger who looks like someone I used to love She's got that same pretty face I keep dreaming of She won't smile for me anymore The way she did once before Then she walks right past me and my heart falls to the floor Now I could check in the lost and found Hang Wanted posters up all over town And if I knew some people who would tell me where to look, I would phone some When you were mine I would call you late at night but now, you never come You've got me on my knees for your forgiveness, please Well, baby, I thought by now you'd shown some I will win some I'll lose some And I'm lonesome I will win some I'll lose some And I'm lonesome Now I could check in the lost and found Hang Wanted posters up all over town And if I knew some people who would tell me where to look, I would phone some Because I will win some I will lose some I will win some I will lose some And I'm lonesome

Wonderful 04:26
lyrics

Well, I was lost until your love had found me And now I lay my head to sleep so soundly Oh, yeah, well, I've been waiting so long It used to be that I was tangled in blue Until you loved me just the way that you do So, yeah, I've been waiting so long 'Cause your love is so wonderful I am so sure of it when everywhere I go I can't stop thinking about you And when I dream, I'm dreaming of you And life was never so clear Until you whispered into my ear, "my baby, I love spending my time with you" But when you're gone I just feel so restless And when you're back you will have the best of my love Baby, please believe that it's true 'Cause your love is so wonderful Well, I am so sure of it when everywhere I go I can't stop thinking about you And when I dream, I'm dreaming of you It used to be that I was tangled in blue Until you loved me just the way that you do So, yeah I never knew love until you 'Cause your love is so wonderful I am so sure of it when everywhere I go I can't stop thinking about you And when I dream, I'm dreaming of you 'Cause your love is so wonderful I am so sure of it

about

"This EP is all of my previously-released solo recorded material in one collection. My aim is to raise money for charitable initiatives in Winnipeg that directly benefit homeless populations by donating all of my proceeds from the sale of this EP to those initiatives, such as Jordan's Sleeping Bags started by Winnipeg guitar legend Billy Joe Green. I strongly urge everyone to make an effort to better the lives of us all by performing acts of kindness and goodwill whenever possible."

- Orvis Thomas
