Listen here, this will only be A small portion of your lifetime That you'll sacrifice for me I asked and you were born And like the wind you snuck up on me Got me begging for your storm Fifty-two fifty more days until I come back from war I'm gonna lock you up and love you down I can't take this anymore Nights are old, but I am young Across the sea writing letters home Answer me, let me hear y...

Never say that nothing ever came from a mouse, anyway. Might crawl to your house, take that cat away. Don't let the world tell your mouth that it must say. Nothing ever came from a mouse, anyway. Never say that nothing ever came from a gnat, anyway. Might fly in your ear, and then he done flown away. Oh that aggravation can't you ever say. Nothing ever came from a gnat, anyway. Anyway. Somethi...
The black rock is where I spend my time Writing a memory or writing a rhyme Thinking about what is right or wrong On the black rock is where I like to go After a long night coming home from a show And that's where I write my song, all day long, the black rock Sometimes I just look around to take in the feeling coming out from the ground But that's just something I do sometimes And then I just ...
Well, in the end, my friend, we will all be together again Clutching onto my hand, in a valley we'll stand, just living again And in a while we'll smile, march on another mile On hallowed hills, attached to the land we'll be still No one's ever gonna say a thing And we'll be together, together again Taking off to the city on down Just a while ago my soul was confused, amused at what it did not...

Crowded mind on the street tonight head full of aches, but I'm doing all right You're upstairs lying in our bed Wondering if you will make it Just a block between the door and me Walking in to set your mind at ease But you're upstairs lying in my bed Wondering if I will make it home There's a crimson rose lying in my hand It's better off there than to understand That no one sees when it's agai...
I had a dream about you It was December in the afternoon You're something pretty and cool Signing records as you're passing through You saw everyone as an angel But what about the thieves?

I just heard the world, is breaking down into bits again. Tell me what am i to do? And you just want me to stay, here. So i'm just gonna stay, here. Home, the last resort. Build a castle with an iron door. Lock the window, pull the shades, the hazed out sun won't help anyway. If the world is crumbling down, I don't wanna be alone. NO, locked up in this place. I heard the world up, late night. ...
Well there was a time when life caught you by surprise. What you see going by is a shadow. You've got to live in front of your eyes. In a typical way we stray, checking back with the past. In a typical day we'll stay to see what's gonna last. But I didn't mind at all. Well there was a place we'd chase through the woods in my juvenile days. What a typical waste of space, what a wonderful place ...
I took this girl out last night and we left around twelve. We walked along lonely streets and got to know ourselves. I like ot read, she likes to write. She likes to sleep, and I love to stay up all night. My friends say I'm crazy and I agree, But that's okay cause that's the way I like to be. Hey girl, ocme with me and let yourself go. We went out late that night and we danced through the nig...
"Back in the day" Oh it wasn't that far. Not a day goes by that wont be in the back tomorrow. Take today as a sample to you. It looks cloudy outside, What are you gonna do? Well, we could get up. Or we could get on down. We could drive to the country or head down town, Maybe I'll join you too. We could have been so much better off than before. If we held on true. Take today, and go walk for a ...
There are few things pure in this world anymore, and home is one of the few We'd have a drink outside maybe run and hide, if we saw a couple men in blue But to me it's so damn easy to see that your people are the people at home Well I been away but now I'm back today and there ain't a place I'd rather go I feel home when I see the faces that remember my own I feel home when I'm chillin outside...
If Only she knew If only she knew, What was going right. I would not be alone tonight. If only she knew, What was going wrong. I would not be singing this song. If only she knew What would I do? Would I run? Maybe stick around just for fun. Would I take you out just us two? That would be grand. If only she knew. If only she knew what to do? Relax with you. And let myself get lost in your smile...

You said young man, don't rely on a sword. 'Cause your words will out live even time. I've counted my blessings, the rest are for you. Please listen close for a while. And breathe, breathe, deep for me James. Don't you feel that you're free now from pain? I've heard about heaven for years. Can't be sure where you are. Wander on blessed James, I'm fine with you here. I made the mistake once of ...
It's been a long, long time since I lost myself. Put my pride down on the table put my fear on the shelf. So I bought myself a thrown to reside and let myself go. But I've traveled much too far, where I've gone I'll never know. What a long, long time Long, long time It's been a little old while since I felt so fine. Wanderin' in the rain. Losing my mind. What a long, long time. What a long, lo...

Patterned sunrise, Swept alone away the sunrise. And under these overpasses, A towering mountain does rise. Don't cross the river Not over there, There'll be a mystery revealed, And i'll bet you'll dare. And if I am to seek This place you can see, Whose chariot to follow So I, can be free? At night the stars cry, I gaize upon the lake of backyard. And over these underpasses, A towering mountai...

I am winter, got me cold convicted like a criminal. Sharp and nimble, the wind unfolds got me to my feet again. Pass the mountain, i hear a cry comin' from the pinnacle.

The black rock is where I spend my time Writing a memory or writing a rhyme Thinking about what is right or wrong On the black rock is where I like to go After a long night coming home from a show And that's where I write my song, all day long, the black rock Sometimes I just look around to take in the feeling coming out from the ground But that's just something I do sometimes And then I just ...
Well, in the end, my friend, we will all be together again Clutching onto my hand, in a valley we'll stand, just living again And in a while we'll smile, march on another mile On hallowed hills, attached to the land we'll be still No one's ever gonna say a thing And we'll be together, together again Taking off to the city on down Just a while ago my soul was confused, amused at what it did not...

Never say that nothing ever came from a mouse, anyway. Might crawl to your house, take that cat away. Don't let the world tell your mouth that it must say. Nothing ever came from a mouse, anyway.

There's a road outside of Columbus, Ohio. Feels like I drove along for year. This Midwest way of ease it surrounds us. I cannot deny the rhythm here. And as I pull away from Riverside beside me. That High Street never looked so good. I miss my lady even though she often writes me. She tells me tales of my neighborhood. Suprise, suprise. I traveled here. Four hundred miles from where I'm known....

Risen
Well there was a time when life caught you by surprise. What you see going by is a shadow. You've got to live in front of your eyes. In a typical way we stray, checking back with the past. In a typical day we'll stay to see what's gonna last. But I didn't mind at all. Well there was a place we'd chase through the woods in my juvenile days. What a typical waste of space, what a wonderful place ...
If Only she knew If only she knew, What was going right. I would not be alone tonight. If only she knew, What was going wrong. I would not be singing this song. If only she knew What would I do? Would I run? Maybe stick around just for fun. Would I take you out just us two? That would be grand. If only she knew. If only she knew what to do? Relax with you. And let myself get lost in your smile...
It's been a long, long time since I lost myself. Put my pride down on the table put my fear on the shelf. So I bought myself a thrown to reside and let myself go. But I've traveled much too far, where I've gone I'll never know. What a long, long time Long, long time It's been a little old while since I felt so fine. Wanderin' in the rain. Losing my mind. What a long, long time. What a long, lo...
He walks these streets sometimes until way past twelve. His mind can't decide if he's in heaven, he just can't tell. He sees her standing there smiling by the lamppost shine. His heart can't remember ever feeling oh so fine. She gone. She not coming back no way. She gone. She not coming back to stay. She gone. And as she turns away his eyes lost in her back. His feet continue down some ancient...
I was riding down the highway when I thought I spotted someone in the road I said, "You going my way?" And he turned his head and said, "Man, I don't know." So I asked about his government and he turned his head and then began to laugh And I asked him, "What you running from?" And he said, "My man, I'm running from my past." And we laughed aloud, and sang aloud And then we drank a brew I didn'...
Souls Aflame
It's three a.m. and I want to go to bed. I got a lady running through my head Ran out of money looking for a night shift. It's three a.m. and I want to go to bed.

I heard the world up, late night. ...
