Reckless Burning
06:54
|
|||
Pretty thing, I've got you
Right where I used to be
We ride across this city
Starting fires recklessly
And everything is closing
But tonight, we'll stay awhile
And if this darkness lingers
I'll fall to you just like a child
Pretty thing, I've got you
Right where this trouble ends
With reckless burning
I have been charged again
Pretty thing, I've got you
Right where I used to be
We ride across this city
Starting fires recklessly
Goodnight, Irene

Doralee

Doralee, there's water in the basement.
Saturday, you'll be sleeping in the tree.
Gone are the weeds that you tended to like children.
Gone are the days, and the distance between.
Doralee, there's gravel in your bathtub.
The fish swim free, looking for their ocean moon.
You once loved a man whose heart was big & open.
He said he could see, the beauty in us all.
Doralee, there are flies among the dead now.
The fiish swim free, looking for their ocean moon.
You once loved a man whose heart was big & open.
He said he could see, the beauty in us all.
He said he could see the beauty
in us all.

Lonely Still
04:46
|

This is where my ship has run aground,
stuck in the mud on the Puget Sound.
I came from The Great Lakes,
and I watched them turn dry.
The sky turned black & I cried.
I never thought
heartbreak would follow me 'round.
Well, I'm lonely,
I'm lonely still.
Hammered hearts,
so tired of being young,
If it wasn't you,
it could have been anyone.
I came from The Great Lakes,
and I saw them turn dry,
the sky turned black
and I cried.
I never thought heartbreak
would follow me 'round,
cuz, I'm lonely,
yes, I'm lonely still.

Your Side Now
05:05
|

How am I to believe
when I've lost myself in you?
Afraid to ask for what I need,
so I give it to you.
I'm on your side now,
Well, I'm on your side now
I'm on your side now
I'm on your side now
And if I sleep beside the river
will it flood over me?
Well, I'm as far away from my life,
as I could be
But I'm on your side now
Well, I'm on your side now
I'm on your side now
I'm on your side now
If faith is all we ever need
then I can't compete.
I think on those who care for me,
who care for me.
I'm on your side now
Well, I'm on your side now
I'm on your side now
I'm on your side now

Don't Let Me Go
03:37
|

Keep me, don't let me go
When I'm losing my head
If the angels won't have me,
well, meet me at the bar-room instead.
Keep me, don't let me go
Keep me, don't you let me go
I like to go to the places,
where the lights are all down,
and all those beautiful faces,
but yours, ain't around.
Keep me, don't let me go.
Keep me, don't you let me go
Nighttime spent waiting
Well, in the dark we all are fools
This love makes me impatient
and morning takes me too soon
Keep me, don't let me go
Keep me, don't you let me go

Drinking With Strangers
04:21
|
|||
Drinking with strangers,
For the last time,
and you fell asleep,
With the smoke in your eyes.
Hot flashes burning,
The dust on the blind,
gin-soaked and lonely,
You're fuel for this fire.
You threw it all away,
These days
You threw it all away,
these days.
The Salvation Army,
Has called out its choir,
but blankets, and water
can't fix your flat tire.
ahhh....

Made of Wood

He said
"I think you know my name"
He said,
"I think you know what I came here for."
And if you don't really like it
You can walk out that door
If you don't really like it
You don't have to keep asking for more
Right here on this floor
He said
That I was the 'only one'
He said,
that we would 'have so much fun.'
Well, I tried and I tried
To get back on my feet
the lines on my face
tell me that I need
sleep again,
so I just pretend.
He said
"I think you know my name"
He said
"I think you know what I came here for"
"And if you don't really like it
You walk out that door"
"If you don't really like it.
you don't have to keep begging for more
Right here on this floor."
Alice in Wonderland
Put out your hand
If you were made out of stone
I'd know that you'd catch me
Oh, if you could
'Cause I'm made of wood

Love Me, Someday
03:53
|
|||
Love me someday
I'll be here,
as long as the night,
The moon so bright,
Well, love me someday,
and I will be here.
There's snow on the road,
The parkway's closed,
if the weather was right,
you'd leave tonight.
The danger's within,
and all will be forgiven.
Love me someday
I'll be here,
as long as the night,
the moon so bright.
Well, love me someday,
I will be here.

Lullaby
04:44
|
|||
You picked me up, dried me off,
you were hopelessly devoted,
to my darkest hour.
I knew I'd broke, every rule,
just so I'd be close to you.
And I was just your passenger,
hoping you wouldn't see the sign,
'Funeral Parking Only'
And if the rain would settle down,
maybe we will catch a glimpse,
of this troubled town.
Well, it's not hard to forgive,
When you're holding back a river
of drowned men,
Well, it's not hard to forgive....
