Blue Rodeo - Til I Gain Control Again Lyrics






Just like the sun over the mountaintop
You know I'll always come again
You know I love to spend my mornings
Like sunlight hanging on your skin

I've never gone so wrong
As for telling lies to you
What you see is what I am
There is nothing I could hide from you
You see me better than I am

Out on the road that lies before me now
There is some turns where I will spin
I only hope that you can hold me now
Til I can gain control again

And like a lighthouse you must stand alone
Landmark a safe journey's end
No matter what sea I've been sailing on
I'll always come back home again

Out on the road that was before me now
There are some turns where I will spin
I only hope that you can hold me now
Til I can gain control again
I only hope that you can hold me now
Til I can gain control again

    Great version. Crystal Gayle owns it though.

    Maybe I'm wrong, but personally I thing without the great voice of Jim Cuddy there would be no Blue Rodeo. He makes the perfect voice of the band.

    Just like the sun over the mountain top
    You know I'll always come again
    You know I love to spend my morning time
    Like sunlight dancing on your skin
    I've never gone so wrong as to telling lies to you
    What you've seen is what I've been
    There is nothing I could hide from you
    You see me better than I can
    Out on the road that lies before me now
    There are some turns where I will spin
    I only hope that you can hold me now
    Till I can gain control again
    Like a lighthouse you must stand alone
    Landmark the sailor's journeys end
    No matter what sea I've have been sailing on
    I'll always roll this way again
    Out on the road that lies before me now
    There are some turns where I will spin
    I only hope that you can hold me now
    Till I can gain control again

  48. V.... J....

    The arrangement and esp the steel guitar break in this is beyond. Dang I like this!

  49. T.... T....

    i just so love them,,, i get such an ahhhh haaaaa feeling from them,, i have a friend that got to play harmonica with them somewhere live many , many years ago ,, he was a wild bull riding cowboy that i am sure Blue Rodeo got a kick out of ,, i hope they remember Dave Canada ,,, love to all

  55. S.... G....

    love you guys so much!!

  56. p.... c....

    Super cool. For people who really love great music. I know more than ten different versions of the song by Rodney Crowell,  think it was him. Love U-tube and all other music lovers

  57. S.... M....

    rodney crowell again - great. this is one of a few great covers - the weirdest being Van Morrison (weird only in the sense of him generally not being c/w -a truly great cover). But I love this one. JC .

  58. D.... N....

    They really nail this here. Great Rodney Crowell song this is brilliant.

  59. M.... C....

    ❤❤❤❤❤

  60. G.... C....

    Another absolutely awesome song, from such a great band. Blue Rodeo, you guys sing it right.

  61. S.... W....

    True story especially when ur story is so relatable. You see me better then I can !! Out on the road that lies before me now there are some turns where I will spin !!! Dancing with the devil is only a matter of time !!! Stand alone !!!

  62. K.... G....

    great ,  I lost, I didn't gain control, to late to back things up. sorry  hon. lost, have a good life......

  63. M.... S....

    One of the top 5 best bands in this world

    M.... S....

    You live a very sheltered life, child.

  64. J.... E....

    The Best Of Canada

    J.... E....

    J.... E....

    seems to be

    J.... E....

    💜💜💞🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦👍😘

  65. G.... C....

    ok... everyone is aware that rodney crowell wrote the song. but doesn't really matter who it bc it is a great song that blue rodeo happened to record. as far as I'm concerned they did a really great job on the song. unless you in a band or in the music industry you shouldn't be judgemental or what have you. just appreciate good music.

    G.... C....

    I have played in a country band for 40 years and this is as good as I have ever heard. anybody that gets judgmental over this is brain dead. this is one great group doing one of the greatest songs of this era.

  66. b.... a....

    this is good tune

  67. P.... M....

    This is me favorite song.....I always take again on quality control

  68. J.... K....

    This is my favorite version of RC's classic. Slightly upbeat, and the lap steel takes it over the top.

    J.... K....

    most versions are good but I too always come back to this

  69. C.... R....

    I love my girl friend shes always there for me n I'm gaining control again

  70. p.... ....

    Love Rodney Crowell, and love Blue Rodeo

  71. R.... M....

    93 he held me, 2003 and then in 2007. Literally losing half my family had me feeling shattered, my handsome held me until I gained control. This describes one of my many journeys that we go thru in a marriage. I'm blessed and love how my handsome holds me.

    R.... M....

    Sorry for your losses throughout the years, I'm glad you have a partner who was there to help you through it

    R.... M....

    Been there done that......no one to hold me. Very glad you had that someone......apparently I was the someone holding her son when she died

  72. h.... b....

    This songs adds great comfort to the day

    h.... b....

    especially after spending the morning at the V.A. hospital

  73. F.... B....

    like it but i think Albert Lees version is the best i've heard

  74. s.... 7....

    this song is for you pops.i mis you so much dad....

    s.... 7....

    that's really nice

  75. W.... K....

    can't honestly say they're better than Rodney Crowel but they are so damn good. Pleasure to hear them do this. Thanks for the posting!

  76. N.... L....

    Just like the sun over the mountaintop
    You know I'll always come again
    You know I love to spend my mornings
    Like sunlight dancing on your skin

    I've never gone so wrong
    As for telling lies to you
    What you see is what I am
    There is nothing I could hide from you
    You see me better than I can

    Out on the road that lies before me now
    There is some turns where I will spin
    I only hope that you can hold me now
    Til I can gain control again

    And like a lighthouse you must stand alone
    Landmark a safe journey's end
    No matter what sea I've been sailing on
    I'll always come back home again

    Out on the road that lies before me now
    There are some turns where I will spin
    I only hope that you can hold me now
    Til I can gain control again
    I only hope that you can hold me now
    Til I can gain control again

  78. A.... H....

    if i find a way (which i have) to manage my moods and my most inner thoughts, my ups and downs where i don't put pressure on myself that controls the way i think, do and behave...and i don't have to try to solve everything that i tell myself bothers me, i found a different and much more satisfying way of being able to just not let it burden me is through the way that we were born to find that magical thing called Nature.. i can't say that things that i tell myself that bother me don't completely because i'm not that foolish, but it allows me to see things with a different perspective and not look at things from "inside the box" but from outside it too.. it doesn't mean that i can perform an inner magic that makes me solve every puzzle but helps me to manage them in a way but where it helps me to accept so many things i can't change anyways which leaves less for me to try to control. for me it's easier for my limitations to just take control again of just me. have a great weekend and hopefully you got your own meaning from the song by my all time Canadian band and my friends.

    A.... H....

    I also like Willie and Waylon's !!! Some good artists did this one!

    A.... H....

    oh, and did you forget someone that has no name recognition like Van Morrison who also recorded it??? what are you? some kind of new music critic for the New York Times or something? hahahahahah good morning lowo!!

    A.... H....

    @Al Huggins maybe, just maybe I didn't mention van Morrison because I don't care for his version as much!!!! Am I also losing my rights to opinons about music as well as all my other freedoms???hahahahaha

    A.... H....

    Its cool jus like me. Happy

    A.... H....

    Al Huggins I totally agree with you Al...

  79. H.... D....

    Great song, super version. Blue Rodeo is an amazing band. Kudos to Crowell for writing this tune.

  80. A.... B....

    oh yeah. played this at the ctv telethon canadore

  81. b.... ....

    I love this version of this beautiful song by Blue Rodeo.Love the music awesome LorraineG.

  82. B.... H....

    Of all the artist I have listen to doing this song Blue Rodeo does it best

    B.... H....

    @Bertram Harris for me it's a toss up between them and Rodney - but I have a lot more Blue Rodeo in my collection - just an amazing band.

    B.... H....

    @brian chaput All about opinion. This is great, but doesn't top the Emmylou Harris version, the lady Crowell wrote it for.

    B.... H....

    @iganatiousjr I thought he wrote it for Crystal Gayle... but then again he was in Emmy's band... either way a great tune.

  83. r.... ....

    I am quite sure Rodney knows that Blue Rodeo absolutely nailed his song and made it a bit of theirs.

  84. k.... m....

    awesome

    Great song!

  88. A.... H....

    if i van just MANAGE my moods and my ups and downs, i don't have to put pressure on myself to solve every little things that i tell myself bothers me. i can't say that things won't but if i just try to manage them i don't have to take on the job of trying to figure out all those things that make me feel less than what i have no control of anyways.

    A.... H....
