If ever I need you dear
I find your love is gone
Sign on the dotted line
And try to take it home
I left my lamp a-burning
I left the front door open wide
No sleep come the morning
Wore it out with the tears I cried
Chorus:
Are you gonna be my angel?
The Devil's never gonna let me save my poor soul
[ Chorus x2 ]
Shovel that shines like silver
Digs a hole in the ground
The gold ring that I gave ...
Sleep on it, see if it makes a difference in the morning
Go to work, get through the day and try not to remember
Even if we had something to say,
Would you hold it dear, would it fly away with you, with you
Long ago, it felt like we were both so much younger
Here we are a repeat of a classic situation
Did you build us up just to say how high?
Would you let me down?
Even notice that I was with ...
Engine's running hot
But now it's burnin' down
Everyone says that this is going well
But I can hear every sound
Four gray walls
Make it all seem right
But everything looks wrong
In these cheap hotel lights
Chorus:
Going up and down
Down and out
Cheap cologne and expensive perfume
I've never seen so many lost souls in my life
Air so thick, so busy and loud
One crazy young man standing out in th...
Don't tie me up and take my time
Waiting years and wondering why
I love old songs and what they know
Just turn 'em up and let 'em go
I ask myself what I need
Homesick blues and melodies
This old tune's what I desire
It's hot as hell it burns like fire, burns like fire
Chorus:
How 'bout you? How 'bout you?
I wonder where you're going to
Flyin' by and out of view
I'll keep looking, how 'bout you...
There's a voice blowing over the mountain
A voice I used to know
I'll bet you ten it's her again
That girl from long ago
She wanted California
Got Oregon I hear
Seems only fair to warn ya
I ain't been myself in years
What's left of it all went with her
Packed up in broken dreams
I'll tell ya friend I loved her then
And I always will it seems
Chorus:
That evening breeze reminds me
So soft again...
Come on mamma, put your good dress on
The night is young and we're goin' downtown
Where faces come and faces go
It ain't very far you know
Come on mamma, is it really that hard
To lose yourself right where you are
Till your money's gone and your mind is bent
You couldn't say where midnight went
Chorus:
Winding pathways, blind-sided fools
How could you let them get the best of you
Stumblin' foo...
Midnight, streetlights
Give it up
I'm going home
Where the lamps are always burning
And you're always waiting
And I'm forever falling
Last one undone
Hanging out
I'm hanging on
Where someone's always yelling
Way back in the corner
And I'm forever dreaming
Chorus:
There's more to a dream, anyway
Shadows grow long on our face
There's more to a dream, anyway
And I won't know what's left in its pl...
Well, We moved here from Summers when I was 14
Worked this poor ground for bacon and beans.
Landlord told me that hard times were near,
didn't mean a thing cause they're already here.
Chorus:
Daylight till dark my works never done,
lord have mercy on the sharecropper's Son.
My Mama's got the fever, and the babies sick too,
Daddy's down town just soakin' in the boo's.
He's just out of prison an...
You looked at me through old windows
And said, "Dust is all I know"
And you're so clean and I'm so tired
Like lovers' smiles and green marker miles
Chorus:
Can't go back that's much too far
I'm asking you to laugh
But after all
You love a tragedy
Hope remains a sidewalk star
Could you stay right where you are
You're so smooth, and I'm on fire
Holding on, just watching it unwind
[ Chorus x2 ]
To see you coming 'round the bend
I just can't think of anything
That could make me smile like you can
When you're coming 'round the bend
I've been in love a time or two before
And all of that experience allows me to be sure
That you're the one
Sure as darkness brings the rising sun
To see you coming 'round the bend
I just can't think of anything
That could make me smile like you can
When you'...
Headin' down to the river, feelin' all undone
Might be for the best if I just stare into the sun
So I can't see, what a fool you made of me
Well, I am sittin' home alone, blue as I can be
Music turned up loud as hell, it hurts but just as well
But? I can hear people talking 'bout us Dear
Chorus:
By the looks I get seems I am the last to know
Apologetic eyes follow me everywhere I go
I swear I'...
Let a little light in your heart
A wild goose chase, the morning star
Any old light that shine to me
Let a little light in your heart
Burn away the fog of fear
that brings your eyes forever near
Look-y, look-y, look-y here
Burn away the fog of fear
Chorus:
Days and days on end
Ain't the wind on fire, don't it call to you
Restless, restless friend,
Ain't you higher than you've ever been
Look at...
