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...
There was a man on the road about an hour ago and he was lookin for a ride to New Mexico
But we was driving by way too fast to know
We got to the place on a high speed chase there was a girlie in the corner with a plastic face
Then she disappeared without a trace
I said without a trace
Now we're kickin back and we're sippin beers and there's a man telling stories about his inner fears
We was a...
There was a man on the road bout an hour ago
and he was looking for a ride to New Mexico
Well we was driving by
Way too fast to know
Well then we got to the place on a high speed chase
There was a girlie in the corner with a plastic face
And then she disappeared without a trace
I say without a trace
Well now we're kicking back and we're sipping beers
And there's a man telling stories about his...
What can you say about tomorrow?
What do you know about my life?
What do you say to your daughter?
What do you tell to your wife?
Say Mr. Brown how about your daughter.
Do you know what she's done tonight?
And do you agree that we are lost here?
Well, among the lost we shall survive.
What's that you say when the rain won't go away?
What's that you do when no one's looking at you?
Where's that ...
Any time now I'm gonna wake up and see the day.
Any time now I'm gonna wake up and find my way.
And by that time now, you're gonna never ever never ever hear me
Say "That was the longest damn day."
Do you ever truly feel that it's a waste of time
To live a day?
I mean, deep inside have you convinced yourself there's much
More to get out of the way?
But, for me it's that last baby moment before...
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.

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...
Daddy was a coalminer.
He worked the pits all day.
In Rock Springs, Wyoming.
It was meant to be a stop for a day, become his home nothing more I can say.
Daddy was a part time farmer.
He worked the field for pay.
But he'd rather have new shoes for them horses.
But late one day, them horse run away.
Shouldn't have put the shoes on that way.
Too bad for daddy.
Such a shame he took it all.
So me ...
I set out on the voyage of the conquering fools, lookin' for the gold and the modern day jewels
It come to pass what was stuck in my head, if I didn't quit on-looking that I'd probably be dead
I hit the road and I rolled up North, lookin' for the origin, the place of my birth,
I didn't notice when I ran a red sign, hopin' that everything would really be fine
People come and people go but they ...
My twenty thrown down in my fist of rage
And the man to my left just folded down
Johnny doubled up with a Royal Flush
I had three jacks and a pair of nines
My mind is turning just two shots more
There's not much left to play
Then dude walks in Black hat on top, what a mop
I'm lucky it wasn't a county cop, cause I'm just running out of time
Who's up for game two, what to do?
My wallets getting ...
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?
Who don't know what do
And don't know who to be
You saw everyone as an angel
But what about the thief?
Who took away from you
He took away from you
If you just kept walking on your way
If you just kept walki...
Tuesday's coming my baby.
I told you Wednesday morning.
It's not too late for us.
My bags aren't out the door, baby.
Don't you know life's a feeling.
But without you it's nothing.
It's not too late for us.
My bags aren't out the door, baby.
Tuesday's coming.
And I'm not gonna leave you here, darling.
It's a shame you can't hear me.
Scream my lungs out believe me.
The miles burn me up.
I'm livi...
I'm looking for a stray dog to follow me home
I'm stepping off the A train ready to roam
Smoking underneath a cold rain before moving on
I'm looking for a stray dog to follow me home
Follow me home
Hoping for daylight to follow me
If you're lost in the dark get to where you can see
There is somewhere we're supposed to be
And you know
In a matter of time you set yourself free
I'm pulling out my...
Amazing how we all want this life a little more everyday.
It's crazy how we pick ourselves up just to let us down anyway.
The one thing that you're missing is loungin' on the log right next to you.
So pick up that precious something and relax for a delicate few.
Amazing how we all want this life a little more everyday.
It's crazy how we pick ourselves up just to let us down anyway.

"are you alright?"
she asked me deep after dinner last night.
Hold on and you gotta remember
Hold on and you gotta be strong
Hold on and you gotta remember gotta come back and ya got to be strong
Do you even hear me
how far have you strayed from home
...
love was never enough throughout time, yet some give it up
well, you kept me standing alone
if only i could have one dance i would move on my own
in tattered daydreams that slip through the night
i'm prince, king, warrior, and i'm doing things right
but every daydream leaves me awake all the night
if i was a bird, spread my wings, and take off and fly
yeah yeah yeah yeah
i had the swirl and ac...
I never meant to hurt you, but knew I someday would
It's like I built myself a cabin with matches between the wood
I'll be damned if I am happy, and you will pay the price
Strong becomes the liar when he believes his own advice
I've got this one beat
I know its empty in the open
Days apart from you
Ashes trace the skyline
And this burnout cabin too
well I'll be damned if you forget me
in this ...
called her last night
and i read her a line from my favorite book of poetry
and i, i started to cry
she asked me what was wrong
don't worry, it's not you, it's me
i never knew
half the stories told to me
stories like the sun is blue
and i, i never knew
half the time i spent with her
i wish to god i spent it all with you
she called me last night
she read me a line from her favorite book of poet...
Oh baby...
Well there's a light in your eye that keeps shinin'
Like a star that can't wait for the night
I hate to think out of line, here baby
Why can't I see you tonight?
And the warmth of your smile starts the burnin'
And the thrill of your touch give me fright
I'm shakin' so much, really yearnin'
Why don't you show up and make it alright
Yeah, it's alright...
And if you promise your love s...
Is it me or does it seem that life just carries on?
Now was it him who said that life is just a song?
Now I don't know what will keep me on this little Earth
I just might use the love that's all in the dirt
But every damn time
That I see you
I say to myself
She ain't worth it
She ain't worth nothin I got
Ah no no
Nah nah
Was it you who said that my life is over?
Baby it was over from the very ...
From night til dawn, you soldiered on, did ya?
Each day is a gift
But you lead us strong and kept us on, did ya?
Like each day is a gift
I never thought that I'd be here with you
Saying all these words that I have to
After all is said and all is done
I never meant to ever hurt no one
And nothing has to change
You and I are strange
Passing in the night between the darkness and the rain
At the c...
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...
there are no lyrics to the intro quot;Nowquot; on the CD Inbetween Now and Then
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...
Now Peter sat on the mountaintop
Northern wind blowin through his hair
Now Peter never took the time to stop
He just stood out there and stared
I said but Peter didn't care bout the air down there
He was lookin right at the sun
The sun said son don't ya come around here
And Peter then began to run
Hey
Now Peter he never cried too much
He just looked out toward the west
He was dreamin of a land...
There was time now it's far away
I didn't know you, but I knew your name
We would talk, I got nothing to say
But hear me now
You're like an angel that is just for me
Bless your heart, let your mind go free
And it's too loud on the Earth today
So let's go home and lay down
Lay down and rest here in my arms
Lay down the universe is ours
Catch a teardrop, bleed the heart
Masquerade in a world apa...
easy Operator on the side of the road
a million dollar man in a lower class home
Chopping trees for needs of a spritual kind
Forever getting lower while he tried to be high
he was a early morning eagle eyeing food from far
he barely getting over, forget getting by
but now its all the same, for Billy King Kane
if he had to do it over he would do it the same

Lovely, you're always lovely
A vision, you were the one
Now I am stuck inside a memory
You forgot about our destiny
You buried me, didn't you?
Didn't you love me faster than the devil
Run me straight into the ground
Drownin' deep inside your water
Drownin' deep inside your sound
You're always floating
A vapor that I couldn't see

I woke up with a headache from the night before, cause sometimes I drink
I spent the night with my head in a toilet bowl, that's where I like to think
I don't want no one to take a piece of my heart
I hate to lose all those itty bitty pieces of my heart
Have you ever spent all night thinkin bout your life, I'd suggest you try
Well it's somethin that your gonna want to do with a knife, cause I ...
A little boy, alone, he relies on fairytales.
And the moon is his castle late tonight.
Smiling down upon our war, it's funny when
You're far away.
But Mr. Moon, why you laughing at me?
You cannot blame us for lying to you.
You cannot blame us for crying to you.
Why you laughing at me, Mr. Moon?
The wiser man roams the world.
Looks back upon his days
The moon is a wonder late tonight.

Caught a train in a dash
Running hard from my past
Set to ride this here rail till the end
Along the way met a queen
Now, I'm her king
And we reign our kingdom from a mountaintop
Where, baby, we can be alone
Almond eyes, royal skin
This one could do me in
An I'll live this here life till the end
We will win, we will win, we're gonna win this here race
Baby, we can be alone
My baby, we can be a...
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 know a lady way down in my country.
She was so pretty that my eyes threw disguises at me.
Now we will sit and we'll wonder about our future.
But now I'm thinking that today sounds fine to me.
Well I been working five days full time...
It's 3 a.m. and i wanna go to bed
I got a lady runnin' through my head
Ran out of money, looking for a night shift
It's 3 a.m. and i want to go to bed
I know this lady, way down in my country
She is so pretty that my eyes throw disguises at me
An we will sit and wonder 'bout our future
But now i'm thinkin' that today sounds fine to me

I have been falling again for so long, for so long.
I've been off that track. There's a mystery in that and it's strong.
But once more I'm asking for your time.
A few between the two then I'm gone.
I don't think I'll be coming back.
I'm not coming back.
It seems to me, You me, aren't where we're supposed to be.
We're lost somewhere on the seventh sea.
I found Time, at least I thought I did.

Don't fear the morning
It's okay, it's okay
Hurt weighs heavy
It's okay, it's okay
When your body's cold and shaking
I'll steer you Darlin', steer you
When your body's old and aging
I'll heal you Darlin', heal you
Your soul lights the day
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
When you're so filled with pain
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
And Baby, Baby it's just me
Look out the window
Past the Pines

Don't fear the morning
It's okay, it's okay
Hurt weighs heavy
It's okay, it's okay
When your body's
Cold and shaking
I'll steal you, darling
Steal you
And when your body's
Old and aging
I'll heal you, darling
Heal you
Your soul lights the day
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
When your soul filled with pain
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
Well maybe, baby, it's just me
Look out the window
Past the pin...
I look out below me the clouds on top the blue
Kid's thinking about nothing, cause there's absolutely nothing to do
The door ain't wide just open, open to the sky
On top the cage keep hopin, sayin cause on top the cage just try, on top da cage
Help out your brother to the light at peace is a helping hand
With help from our mother we shine so bright and march to the father's land
I said we take...
There's an emptiness between us,
Been filling up for days,
It's heavy on my mind,
Fighting all the time,
But we'll never find our way.
You swore you would remember,
What a shame you had to lie,
Now this battle that you're in,
Is underneath your skin,
And the fight is in your eyes.
But one day you'll fall down and there won't be anyone to pick you up again,
One day you'll fall down and there wo...
God, give me one shot and I'll break right through
I am starting to be brand new
Rome is burning you can taste the embers
I am walking hard on Spanish Stairs
My Saint was silence rapping on the door
Grown up defiant wanting so much more
Me brand new, say
Starting over
Me brand new, say
Starting over
Me brand new, say I say
Give me one shot at my life today
One shot at my life today

Grown up defiant wanting so much more

Patiently,
You slipped away from me.
It's not alright
you couldn't put up no fight.
But patiently,
the well ran dry.
You needed more water,
you needed more.
But patiently,
you slipped away from me.
Oh, God I want you back.
Oh, God I miss you my friend,
oh so patiently
Patiently,
I went home that night
and i sat down to write.
But I couldnt think of anything to write that night.
Patiently, you ...

I don't know nothing, and I don't know a thing
But if I just keep on listening then together we'll sing
I been walking for about a thousand years
And my feet are tired of crying all those painful tears
And my sight is going blind and my soul is way down low
But I haven't seen a thing so that's all that I can know
I don't know nothing and I don't know a thing
But if we just keep on listening th...
Peter sat on a mountain top.
northern wind blows through his hair all day long.
Peter never took no time for him to stop.
just stood right there and he stared.
singing, oh.
he don't need us anymore, cause his life is just too good.
he'll be living everyday and loving like we could.
and that's Peter's song.
have you ever known a boy, lonely as could be?
a lifetime ago he was a child of the free...
I know it's been a long, long year.
God forbid you listen to me now.
I may have laid the pressure on good, but since that day
I'll never ask again.
It's funny, it's come right down to this.
I have to steal my time cause you won't give it up for free.
I've been talking to the Moon all night, but the Stars won't say nothing to me.
And though I feel it's easy for a man to grow up
Much harder for ...
I'm not quite sure how I got here.
A minute passed and I'm on my feet.
I never knew life could taste so good.
I need a little minute, just a moment to breathe.
No matter where I go, no matter who I see
Well I'm reminded of my earlier days.
No matter where I roll, no matter what I know
Well I'm reminded of my earlier ways.
But now I keep asking myself.
Wouldn't it be the best damn day if we all...
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....
I'm pickin' up these broken pieces again
Feelin' like I'm lost, and all I do is find you there
We've been here before, never comin' back again, not again
Tomorrow is too soon for you, my dear
I push you oh so far away, when all I do is want you near
But I've been here before, not comin' back again
And I can't sleep, because pretenders never sleep with a smile
It's hard enough to wake up after ...
In a way, I need a change
From this burnout scene
Another time, another town
Another everything
But it's always back to you
Stumble out, in the night
From the pouring rain
Made the block, sat and thought
There's more I need
It's always back to you
But I'm good without ya
Yeah, I'm good without you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
How many times can I break till I shatter?

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 woke today, felt another way,
everything was gonna be fine.
My head rose up then my legs came too,
quarter past nine was the time.
I used to lose floating memories, found myself wishing I'd remember old times.
But I woke today,
felt another way,
felt free in the sky to fly.
I stepped out the door, didn't know what for,
I saw my lady walking along.
I could have cried out what I wanted to say,...
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'...
Who's that with his arm around you?
He making eyes at you that way
He looks in love
He looks familiar
Damn it's me
Never thought I'd see that day
It's like I came to sleep and there was darkness
Well I'm holding the daylight by your voice
Not that I have any choice
Something coming over me
I know it's you
Someone that I used to be
But he is through
Know that it's forever and it's overdue
Somet...
Oh, my twenty thrown down in my fist of rage
And the man to my left folded down
Well, Johnny doubled up with a Royal Flush
I had three jacks and a pair of nines
My mind is turning just two shots more
There's not much left to play
Well, then dude walks in black, hat on top, what a mop
I'm lucky it wasn't a county cop 'cause I'm just running out of time
Who's up for game two, what to do?
My wall...
Crossing this country, I'm stalling
I'm coming down
Over my head, I'm falling
Will I be found?
I've had to be a million places at one
That's not me
I'm a stranger on the outside when
I'm not right next to you
I remember how to get there
Will you be there when I'm coming through?
Crossing this room to my lovely, my saving grace
Promise that time hasn't lost me
And don't turn away
I've had to be...
Down the road there was a man walking, walking
Knapsack round his back radio talking, talking
And his blue suede shoes are covered in mud, but it no matter cause the boys on the run
Black sunglasses and a bald head too, boy never had nowhere to run when it was cold, so cold
So he hitched a ride to New Mexico, wanted to try for the big brass show
But no
He's the wanderer looking for his long lo...

In the morning wake me up
And tell me everything
So I can understand your world
And you can understand my dream
Yeah I could be anywhere
And you could be there with me
But I just want to be a ghost
And see everything
I don't want it to be the way they want it
This Town, this night, this crowd
Come on put them up, let me hear it loud
This Town, this city, this crowd
Stand up on your feet put yo...
Light of the candle bright ones soul one shined
Woke up new one morning feeling better than ever, fine
My chest no hurt no more something feel better
What's all the hate for? Now something feel better
To Zion Goes I 4x
I'll walk through the valley and I'll follow the stars
I feel it's so close now, it can't be that far
In time some grow lonely, but time isn't done
It's time to go home now, you...
Hoping to find something better
At least better than what ya thought
So many aisles to venture down
So many choices you thought
Then a man come walkin down the aisle
With a smile as wide as the rain
But mom she's gotta go away again
And I'm runnin with the pain
You ask yourself why you can't stay just five more minutes alone
And walk away
You know it, mom know it, so whatcha want
She says, one...
It's a tragedy in waiting
when something's on my mind
And it's hard enough for me to carry on
It's a tragedy in waiting when something's on my mind
And it's hard enough for me to carry on
Call it pleasure if you lie
But believe me when I say a busy mind will learn to change it all
It's not like I am asking for the world to fall apart
I know that it's eventually to come
Sometimes we might fall
...
It's a tragedy in waiting
And there's something on my mind
It's hard enough for me to carry on
Well, it's a tragedy in waiting
And there's something on my mind
It's hard enough for me to carry on
Well, call me pleasure if you like
But believe me when I say
I will learn to change it all
It's not like I'm asking for the sky to open up
I don't believe that's possible just yet
Well, it's a tragedy...
It's been such a long day
Followed by long nights
Sit here by myself
But it just don't feel alright
You've been talking to me
Everyone talking at me like
Try me
I'll let you live, I'll let you breathe
Try me
I'll pick you up and make you believe
You're surrounded and scared, ain't ya?
Nobody's there for you
Under it all they don't shine the way you do
But you're tangled up in
Everything wrong ...
She takes it deep to the heart right from the start she
Talks softly over a glass of wine.
Now and again she's more than a friend,
why don't You just throw me that line.
It would be great if she'd dedicate just a minute from Her precious time.
I'll give it a while, but that's not my style, how is That a crime?
Everyone says that I'm wild.
Pardon my French but I still know my child.
And that wa...
Oh my God
Tell me this won't last forever
Tell me that I'm not alone
Tell me this will come together now
Packed my things up just the other day
Said my goodbyes to all these things I've sayed
Out in the driveway we laugh under the moon
Among my friends for now but I'll be leavin' soon
Many days from now I'm sure
I'll be back among your graces
And with you I won't pretend
No not at all, Oh
Crac...
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.
Oh, in the distance, a city shines
Oh, what a welcoming.
Been to the black rock,
found my salvation,
rendered me patient,
but wearin' me thin.
So I, on the way back home,
seen the big show, thousand times
got to get back what ...
Tell me I'm dreaming
My feet are stone and my light is dim
Chasing this demon
On his way down
Whatever happened?
Whatever happened?
Spent the the night out on a hill
I watched the world sleep sound and still
And over mountains darkness spilled
Washed me over, yeah
Whatever happened?
Whatever happened?
It's been a long way back from the edge of that
Saw the world from the hill
I'm right back wh...

I wrote a letter to man, sealed my envelope with hope and a stamp
Give me a minute and I'll be on my way
Cause I got something for y'all today
Well I was walking yesterday, I gave you a smile and then you turned
I said nothing cause that's all that I could say
I said nothing cause that's all that I could say
Give it back to me
Let me go, let me go, let me go home
Well I was thinking yesterday,...
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...
It was a hot, hot day
The middle of May
Saw this lady just walking my way
She was the cutest thing I'd ever seen
She got some black, black hair
A little black dress with the shoe to pair
The little honey bunny she come up to me
And we walked and we talked
We don't have no time to stop that day
That day was a wonderful day
That day was the best damn day
Well, I've lost my mind
I have lost my mi...

Its ok
if you lock yourslef up at the end of the day
and its alright
if your gonna let us fade...to nothing
you worked harder for nothing at all
"are you alright?"
she asked me deep after dinner last night.
Hold on and you gotta remember
Hold on and you gotta be strong
Hold on and you gotta remember gotta come back and ya got to be strong
Do you even hear me
how far have you strayed from home
...
I never meant to hurt you, but knew I someday would
It's like I built myself a cabin with matches between the wood
I'll be damned if I am happy, and you will pay the price
Strong becomes the liar when he believes his own advice
I've got this one beat
I know its empty in the open
Days apart from you
Ashes trace the skyline
And this burnout cabin too
well I'll be damned if you forget me
in this ...
From night til dawn, you soldiered on, did ya?
Each day is a gift
But you lead us strong and kept us on, did ya?
Like each day is a gift
I never thought that I'd be here with you
Saying all these words that I have to
After all is said and all is done
I never meant to ever hurt no one
And nothing has to change
You and I are strange
Passing in the night between the darkness and the rain

easy Operator on the side of the road
a million dollar man in a lower class home
Chopping trees for needs of a spritual kind
Forever getting lower while he tried to be high

There's an emptiness between us,
Been filling up for days,
It's heavy on my mind,
Fighting all the time,
But we'll never find our way.
You swore you would remember,
What a shame you had to lie,
Now this battle that you're in,
Is underneath your skin,
And the fight is in your eyes.
But one day you'll fall down and there won't be anyone to pick you up again,
One day you'll fall down and there wo...
In a way, I need a change
From this burnout scene
Another time, another town
Another everything
But it's always back to you
Stumble out, in the night
From the pouring rain
Made the block, sat and thought
There's more I need
It's always back to you
But I'm good without ya
Yeah, I'm good without you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
How many times can I break till I shatter?
Over the line can't define what I'm a...
Who's that with his arm around you?
He making eyes at you that way
He looks in love
He looks familiar
Damn it's me
Never thought I'd see that day
It's like I came to sleep and there was darkness
Well I'm holding the daylight by your voice
Not that I have any choice
Something coming over me
I know it's you
Someone that I used to be
But he is through
Know that it's forever and it's overdue

Any Time Now Live |
There was a man on the road about an hour ago and he was lookin for a ride to New Mexico
But we was driving by way too fast to know
We got to the place on a high speed chase there was a girlie in the corner with a plastic face
Then she disappeared without a trace
I said without a trace
Now we're kickin back and we're sippin beers and there's a man telling stories about his inner fears
We was a...
What can you say about tomorrow?
What do you know about my life?
What do you say to your daughter?
What do you tell to your wife?
Say Mr. Brown how about your daughter.
Do you know what she's done tonight?
And do you agree that we are lost here?
Well, among the lost we shall survive.
What's that you say when the rain won't go away?
What's that you do when no one's looking at you?
Where's that ...
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...
I set out on the voyage of the conquering fools, lookin' for the gold and the modern day jewels
It come to pass what was stuck in my head, if I didn't quit on-looking that I'd probably be dead
I hit the road and I rolled up North, lookin' for the origin, the place of my birth,
I didn't notice when I ran a red sign, hopin' that everything would really be fine
People come and people go but they ...
Amazing how we all want this life a little more everyday.
It's crazy how we pick ourselves up just to let us down anyway.
The one thing that you're missing is loungin' on the log right next to you.
So pick up that precious something and relax for a delicate few.
Amazing how we all want this life a little more everyday.
It's crazy how we pick ourselves up just to let us down anyway.
The one thi...
Is it me or does it seem that life just carries on?
Now was it him who said that life is just a song?
Now I don't know what will keep me on this little Earth
I just might use the love that's all in the dirt
But every damn time
That I see you
I say to myself
She ain't worth it
She ain't worth nothin I got
Ah no no
Nah nah
Was it you who said that my life is over?
Baby it was over from the very ...
"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...
I look out below me the clouds on top the blue
Kid's thinking about nothing, cause there's absolutely nothing to do
The door ain't wide just open, open to the sky
On top the cage keep hopin, sayin cause on top the cage just try, on top da cage
Help out your brother to the light at peace is a helping hand
With help from our mother we shine so bright and march to the father's land
I said we take...
Oh, my twenty thrown down in my fist of rage
And the man to my left folded down
Well, Johnny doubled up with a Royal Flush
I had three jacks and a pair of nines
My mind is turning just two shots more
There's not much left to play
Well, then dude walks in black, hat on top, what a mop
I'm lucky it wasn't a county cop 'cause I'm just running out of time
Who's up for game two, what to do?
My wall...
Down the road there was a man walking, walking
Knapsack round his back radio talking, talking
And his blue suede shoes are covered in mud, but it no matter cause the boys on the run
Black sunglasses and a bald head too, boy never had nowhere to run when it was cold, so cold
So he hitched a ride to New Mexico, wanted to try for the big brass show
But no

In Between Now And Then |
Any time now I'm gonna wake up and see the day.
Any time now I'm gonna wake up and find my way.
And by that time now, you're gonna never ever never ever hear me
Say "That was the longest damn day."
Do you ever truly feel that it's a waste of time
To live a day?
I mean, deep inside have you convinced yourself there's much
More to get out of the way?
But, for me it's that last baby moment before...
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.

Daddy was a coalminer.
He worked the pits all day.
In Rock Springs, Wyoming.
It was meant to be a stop for a day, become his home nothing more I can say.
Daddy was a part time farmer.
He worked the field for pay.
But he'd rather have new shoes for them horses.
But late one day, them horse run away.
Shouldn't have put the shoes on that way.
Too bad for daddy.
Such a shame he took it all.
So me ...
Tuesday's coming my baby.
I told you Wednesday morning.
It's not too late for us.
My bags aren't out the door, baby.
Don't you know life's a feeling.
But without you it's nothing.
It's not too late for us.
My bags aren't out the door, baby.
Tuesday's coming.
And I'm not gonna leave you here, darling.
It's a shame you can't hear me.
Scream my lungs out believe me.
The miles burn me up.
I'm livi...
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...
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 ...
A little boy, alone, he relies on fairytales.
And the moon is his castle late tonight.
Smiling down upon our war, it's funny when
You're far away.
But Mr. Moon, why you laughing at me?
You cannot blame us for lying to you.
You cannot blame us for crying to you.
Why you laughing at me, Mr. Moon?
The wiser man roams the world.
Looks back upon his days
The moon is a wonder late tonight.
Smiling f...
I have been falling again for so long, for so long.
I've been off that track. There's a mystery in that and it's strong.
But once more I'm asking for your time.
A few between the two then I'm gone.
I don't think I'll be coming back.
I'm not coming back.
It seems to me, You me, aren't where we're supposed to be.
We're lost somewhere on the seventh sea.
I found Time, at least I thought I did.
Yo...
Peter sat on a mountain top.
northern wind blows through his hair all day long.
Peter never took no time for him to stop.
just stood right there and he stared.
singing, oh.
he don't need us anymore, cause his life is just too good.
he'll be living everyday and loving like we could.
and that's Peter's song.
have you ever known a boy, lonely as could be?
a lifetime ago he was a child of the free...
I know it's been a long, long year.
God forbid you listen to me now.
I may have laid the pressure on good, but since that day
I'll never ask again.
It's funny, it's come right down to this.
I have to steal my time cause you won't give it up for free.
I've been talking to the Moon all night, but the Stars won't say nothing to me.
And though I feel it's easy for a man to grow up
Much harder for ...
I'm not quite sure how I got here.
A minute passed and I'm on my feet.
I never knew life could taste so good.
I need a little minute, just a moment to breathe.
No matter where I go, no matter who I see
Well I'm reminded of my earlier days.
No matter where I roll, no matter what I know
Well I'm reminded of my earlier ways.
But now I keep asking myself.
Wouldn't it be the best damn day if we all...
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....
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,

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 know a lady way down in my country.
She was so pretty that my eyes threw disguises at me.
Now we will sit and we'll wonder about our future.
But now I'm thinking that today sounds fine to me.
Well I been working five days full time...
I don't know nothing, and I don't know a thing
But if I just keep on listening then together we'll sing
I been walking for about a thousand years
And my feet are tired of crying all those painful tears
And my sight is going blind and my soul is way down low
But I haven't seen a thing so that's all that I can know
I don't know nothing and I don't know a thing
But if we just keep on listening th...
I woke today, felt another way,
everything was gonna be fine.
My head rose up then my legs came too,
quarter past nine was the time.
I used to lose floating memories, found myself wishing I'd remember old times.
But I woke today,
felt another way,
felt free in the sky to fly.
I stepped out the door, didn't know what for,
I saw my lady walking along.
I could have cried out what I wanted to say,...
Down the road there was a man walking, walking
Knapsack round his back radio talking, talking
And his blue suede shoes are covered in mud, but it no matter

Light of the candle bright ones soul one shined
Woke up new one morning feeling better than ever, fine
My chest no hurt no more something feel better
What's all the hate for? Now something feel better
To Zion Goes I 4x
I'll walk through the valley and I'll follow the stars
I feel it's so close now, it can't be that far
In time some grow lonely, but time isn't done
It's time to go home now, you...
She takes it deep to the heart right from the start she
Talks softly over a glass of wine.
Now and again she's more than a friend,
why don't You just throw me that line.
It would be great if she'd dedicate just a minute from Her precious time.
I'll give it a while, but that's not my style, how is That a crime?
Everyone says that I'm wild.
Pardon my French but I still know my child.
And that wa...
I wrote a letter to man, sealed my envelope with hope and a stamp
Give me a minute and I'll be on my way
Cause I got something for y'all today
Well I was walking yesterday, I gave you a smile and then you turned
I said nothing cause that's all that I could say
I said nothing cause that's all that I could say
Give it back to me
Let me go, let me go, let me go home
Well I was thinking yesterday,...

Stories of a Stranger |
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...
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?
Who don't know what do
And don't know who to be
You saw everyone as an angel
But what about the thief?
Who took away from you
He took away from you
If you just kept walking on your way
If you just kept walki...
I'm looking for a stray dog to follow me home
I'm stepping off the A train ready to roam
Smoking underneath a cold rain before moving on
I'm looking for a stray dog to follow me home
Follow me home
Hoping for daylight to follow me
If you're lost in the dark get to where you can see
There is somewhere we're supposed to be
And you know
In a matter of time you set yourself free
I'm pulling out my...
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.
...
There was time now it's far away
I didn't know you, but I knew your name
We would talk, I got nothing to say
But hear me now
You're like an angel that is just for me
Bless your heart, let your mind go free
And it's too loud on the Earth today
So let's go home and lay down
Lay down and rest here in my arms
Lay down the universe is ours
Catch a teardrop, bleed the heart
Masquerade in a world apa...
Lovely, you're always lovely
A vision
You were the one
Now I am stuck inside a memory
You forgot about our destiny
You buried me
Didn't you?
Didn't you?
Love me faster than the devil
Run me straight into the ground
Drowning deep inside your water
Drowning deep inside your sound
You're always floating
A vapor
That I couldn't see
Here I am stuck inside a yesterday
Everything has given way
You fe...
Caught a train in a dash
Running hard from my past
Set to ride this here rail till the end
Along the way met a queen
Now, I'm her king
And we reign our kingdom from a mountaintop
Where, baby, we can be alone
Almond eyes, royal skin
This one could do me in
An I'll live this here life till the end
We will win, we will win, we're gonna win this here race
Baby, we can be alone
My baby, we can be a...
God, give me one shot and I'll break right through
I am starting to be brand new
Rome is burning you can taste the embers
I am walking hard on Spanish Stairs
My Saint was silence rapping on the door
Grown up defiant wanting so much more
Me brand new, say
Starting over
Me brand new, say
Starting over
Me brand new, say I say
Give me one shot at my life today
One shot at my life today
I don't wan...
Program director on the radio won't play my record until the caller tell him so
Program director on the radio won't play no music until the caller tell him so
This one time I flip, call the radio
Man play the record that I been loving so
I sing with the singer
Dance to the flow
I hear my request coming out the stereo
At one time there was a rhythm on my stereo
Pick up the phone line
Send my ja...
Crossing this country, I'm stalling
I'm coming down
Over my head, I'm falling
Will I be found?
I've had to be a million places at one
That's not me
I'm a stranger on the outside when
I'm not right next to you
I remember how to get there
Will you be there when I'm coming through?
Crossing this room to my lovely, my saving grace
Promise that time hasn't lost me
And don't turn away
I've had to be...
It's a tragedy in waiting
when something's on my mind
And it's hard enough for me to carry on
It's a tragedy in waiting when something's on my mind
And it's hard enough for me to carry on
Call it pleasure if you lie
But believe me when I say a busy mind will learn to change it all
It's not like I am asking for the world to fall apart
I know that it's eventually to come
Sometimes we might fall
...
It was a hot, hot day
The middle of May
Saw this lady just walking my way
She was the cutest thing I'd ever seen
She got some black, black hair
A little black dress with the shoe to pair
The little honey bunny she come up to me
And we walked and we talked
We don't have no time to stop that day
That day was a wonderful day
That day was the best damn day
Well, I've lost my mind
I have lost my mi...

The Wanderer |
There was a man on the road bout an hour ago
and he was looking for a ride to New Mexico
Well we was driving by
Way too fast to know
Well then we got to the place on a high speed chase
There was a girlie in the corner with a plastic face
And then she disappeared without a trace
I say without a trace
Well now we're kicking back and we're sipping beers
And there's a man telling stories about his...
Now Peter sat on the mountaintop
Northern wind blowin through his hair
Now Peter never took the time to stop
He just stood out there and stared
I said but Peter didn't care bout the air down there
He was lookin right at the sun
The sun said son don't ya come around here
And Peter then began to run
Hey
Now Peter he never cried too much
He just looked out toward the west
He was dreamin of a land...
I woke up with a headache from the night before, cause sometimes I drink
I spent the night with my head in a toilet bowl, that's where I like to think
I don't want no one to take a piece of my heart
I hate to lose all those itty bitty pieces of my heart
Have you ever spent all night thinkin bout your life, I'd suggest you try
Well it's somethin that your gonna want to do with a knife, cause I ...
Hoping to find something better
At least better than what ya thought
So many aisles to venture down
So many choices you thought
Then a man come walkin down the aisle
With a smile as wide as the rain
But mom she's gotta go away again
And I'm runnin with the pain
You ask yourself why you can't stay just five more minutes alone
And walk away
You know it, mom know it, so whatcha want
She says, one...
