Late in the summer children run without clothes
Chill of the winter not far down the road And in the windows are silhouettes of husbands and wives Watching in silence till the evening arrives And there all around insects scream in the trees The promise of rain can be heard on the breeze Oh Lord,Oh lord we break so easy Oh Lord,Oh lord we shatter like glass The headlights glow and the sky will soon be black The freeway riders are rolling, heading back Heading back home A dark haired woman is driving the roads Breathing deeply she don't mind being alone I spend my nights in the reservoir Saying prayers for the passing cars |

All the Protestant girls
They're all swinging their hips Fresh coat of red on their lips In a solar eclipse I sat on the steps Church bells rang in my ears Big blue sky was so clear When the sun disappeared White horses on the highway ride under this strange and darker sky A wind will come and scatter seeds and it will bury all of these The children sing across the plains their voices rise and quickly fade On a passenger train Slightly out of my mind All the women so kind Sending chills down my spine And I fell into sleep And in that sleep I did dream That I was torn at the seams I don't know what it means Inside of mama baby kicks And this house is made of stone and sticks All these things can break my bones and everyone must run alone I run all night with bursting lungs I will always be my mother's son Yes I will always be my mother's son And I'm no different from anyone Stopped traffic and stadium lights That's the view from the sky As that old black bird flies I wish I could fly What will we become When we sleep in the dirt Who will rise up first One can never be sure |

Put me in your holy war
I will lay my body down I will lay my body down I will run into the flames Put me in that holy warv We will do most anything We will ride on angels wings Like new crowned Christian Kings All god's children Got automatic weapons We're coming after you We're coming after you 'Cause Jesus loves you too |

I walked through walls to be with you
In the early nighttime morning came so soon And on Thursday night New York glowed I was in your arms black water flowed And if you were told Would you ever know Do you see me tonight With the coins on my eyes Love's sweet surprise The light upon your face And all the lovers at war That roll down the line Love felt so fine The light upon your face And while we lie he is alone Wide eyed lonely and dreaming of home There is nothing more that I can say I Just close my eyes let you carry me away And if you were told Would you ever know Do you see me tonight With the coins on my eyes Love's sweet surprise The light upon your face And all the lovers at war That roll down the line Love felt so fine The light upon your face Love is always looking for an open grave To lay down unfold its arms and die Do you see me tonight With the coins on my eyes Love's sweet surprise The light upon your face And all the lovers at war That roll down the line Love felt so fine The light upon your face Laura has the brightest eyes Laura has the brightest eyes |

The soldiers will run and the guns they will blow them away
They're choking on sand in some faraway land today Don't go Stay at home Was it you that I saw in the market just losing your way With your head in your hands and baby just crying away Don't go Stay at home Such a sad sight to see all the sweethearts alone in their rooms The dancehalls are empty under the summer moon Don't go Stay at home Stay home |

The child is an acrobat
He walks upon the wire Knowing well that he might fall Still he climbs up higher If he should slip He will surely die And his body will break and his soul will fly Into the night where the spirits scream He will leave this world and become a dream My father was a sailor He lived upon the water Knowing well that he might drown He sailed beyond the harbor If he should fall He will surely die And his body will sink and his soul will fly Into the night where the spirits scream He will leave this world to become a dream He will leave this world to become a dream Nothing will change Time goes by and nothing will My love she is my saving gracev She holds me through the winter Knowing well that I will leave Still she holds me closer And if my heart should break I will surely die And my blood will flow and my soul will fly Into the night where the spirits scream We will leave this world and become a dream We will leave this world and become a dream |
