Oh, the river rise and it's a mile high
Is this worth tryin'? Is this worth tryin'? 'Cause I could fall like a tear Well, there's nothing else I can do When I'm not alone nothing's beside me What one eye sees, the other's blind in Well, I could fall, as if I was young With a lifetime to think of you Fire one for losing and two for hiding Keep river moving, movin' right by me I could fall And there's nothin' else I can do Ah, the river rise and it's a mile high Has this world turned? Has this world tried? 'Cause I could fall like a tear Well, there's nothin' else I can do Up on the river rise She's a mile high |

Oh, oh
Oh, oh Oh, oh Oh, oh Trouble comes in slowly A neverlasting light come to shine all over me Bright in the mornin' Like all of heaven's love come to shine on me And to you who never need Fuck yourselves, I need some more room to breathe Here comes the devil, prowl around One whiskey for evey ghost And I'm sorry for what I've done 'Cause it's me who knows what it cost It breaks and it breathes, and it tears you apart It bites and it bleeds And this desert turns to ocean over me Here come the devil, prowl around One whiskey for every ghost And I'm sorry for what I said I said I just don't care anymore A fool can feed on the notion Sees and believes And this desert turns to ocean over me Trouble comes in slowly A neverlasting light come to shine all over me At the dead end to mornin' darlin' With all of heaven's love come to shine on me The fool that feeds on the notion Sees and believes And this desert turns to ocean over me Here come the devil, buy the round One whiskey for every ghost And I'm sorry for what I done Lord it's me who knows what it costs The fool that feeds on the notion Sees and believes And this desert turns to ocean over me Here come the devil, prowlin' round One whiskey for every ghost And I'm sorry for what I said I said I just don't care anymore It breaks and it breathes and it tears you apart Gonna bite, gonna bleed 'Til this desert turns to ocean over me |

Here ya are, at the top of the tower
Could a body take that much Alone through every waking hour Asleep without nobody to touch Whoa,whoa,whoa,and Only silence here Whoa,whoa,whoa,and Lonely silence here And I'm not the one Make your house a home Makes no sense to stay Through one more lonely last day Oh no babe, it's not right Here ya are, cryin' in the night Could a body take that much Find yourself standin' outside You ain't got nobody to touch Whoa, whoa, whoa, and There's only silence here Whoa,whoa,whoa, and There's only silence here And I'm not the one make your house a home Makes no sense to stay Through one more lonely last day Oh no babe, it's not right |

Are those halos in your hair
Or diamonds shining there Without a hope, without a prayer This rain beats down like death You turn your eyes to better men Before I go I'll hang in a cross on nails I hung on for you in there Girl lay your shame to rest Hope lies close to your breast You stoop to feed the crows Some scraps of truth already cold Before I go, I'll hang in a cross on nails I hung on for you in there And every kingdom of rain comes fallin' down 'Cause I loved you somewhat 'Cause I loved you somewhat Would you put halos in your hair Without a hope without a prayer With lies close to your breast You finally lay your shame to rest Before I go, I'll hang in a cross on nails I hung on for you in there And every kingdom of rain comes fallin' down 'Cause I loved you so long 'Cause I loved you so long 'Cause I loved you so long |

Where in the world have you been
It's as strange as I've ever lived So you're comin' along to the sideshow I'll be fallin' all over like dominos For girls are sad in their eyes They're all standin' around bein' hypnotised And walkin' me back to the firin' line Ya smile to get in the door Ya can't keep it closed anymore Tell your ma that you're gone to the freakshow I'm crawlin' all over the carnival Just scratchin' a stitch in a skin I'm moanin' for more of the medicine In the mornin' you're wonderin' where ya been Just turnin' your back to the ghost And tryin' to look like you just might know That all of the good that you've seen Just went down and into the drain Oh kids am I straight out for now In the mornin' I'm gonna find it on out What in the world can it be It's as strange as I've ever seen The girls are dead in their eyes Just standin' around like they're hypnotised Who'll follow me back to the freak show I'm crawlin' all over the carnival And I am gone The kid's in a straight out for now In the mornin' I'm want to find it on out What in the world can it be It's as strange as I've ever seen The girls are dead in their eyes Just standin' around like they're hypnotised Who'll follow me back to the freak show I'm crawlin' all over the carnival And I am gone |

Dyin' mama barely breathin' in a bed of nails
To wander through the ruin smokin' and pale Came upon an angel and a nightingale Back where the darkness comes Between the earth and skies above Dead weight on my body's bones I think I dug too deep a hole Think I dug too deep A hole Better run for cover babe you better hide Don't do no good to wait til time decides Time decides Time Time I need a little more time Riding on my nightingale So many years to, to ride Hiding on my nightingale, around my heart Climbing down the stairs at last I wouldn't touch me right You're too proud and I'm too scared And I'm neither here nor there It's only fear Well open up the doors And let me breathe that air Better run for cover babe you better hide Just don't do to wait til time decides Time decides Time Time I need a little more time Mama I'm gonna cry now Cry, I'm gonna cry now Oh you're makin' me cry now Cry, I'm gonna cry now Oh, no, no, no, no, no I'm gonna cry Cry I'm gonna die cryin' Better run for cover babe you'd better hide Just don't to wait til time decides Tied around my nightingale So many years to, to hide Fly my nightingale Around my heart Who's riding on my nightingale Who's riding on my nightingale Who's riding on my nightingale Who's riding on my nightingale Who's riding on my nightingale Who's riding on my nightingale Who's riding on my nightingale Who's riding on my nightingale |

The sun is gone, and that's all I really know
No angels in the air With hearts as good as gold The closer you stand to the gates The more the gates are closed These darkened days Make somebody's hunger and thirst The blessed burns the sun He's throwin' shadows on the earth The shadow you find at the gate And all the gates are closed Oh yeah Anytime you find your race is run Felt much colder standin' in the sun Waitin' for some warmth and comin' down Felt much older than I really was Waitin' for some warmth and comin' down The sun is gone, yeah that's all I really know No angels in the air With hearts as good as gold The closer you stand to the gates The more the gates are closed Anytime you find your race is run Felt much colder standin' in the sun Waitin' for some warmth and comin' down Felt much older than I really was Waitin' for some warmth and comin' down Felt much older standin' in the sun' Waitin' for some warmth and comin' down Anytime you find your race is run Felt much colder standin' in the sun Waitin' for some warmth and comin' down Felt much older than I really was Waitin' for some warmth and comin' down Felt much older standin' in the sun' Waitin' for some warmth and comin' down |

You were a ragged
Turquoise and twilight coat I got my head hung down for you Some day you're gonna need it But it's worn or the, cloth gets torn And there's only one way to go It's gone dead, dead It's gone dead on you Take off your ragged Turquoise and twilight coat I got my head hung down for you Someday you're gonna need it But it's worn or the, cloth gets torn And then there's only on way to go It's goin' dead, dead It's going dead, dead It's goin' dead on you |

I'll tell you how I woke up on the line
My sister I almost saw the light Look my hands are tied I'll see you in another hallway Some other time Well I don't understand this big parade It's a five star decoration day Look my hands are stained I was washin' 'em the water Well the water fell away I'll tell you how I woke up on the line Sorry for a soul in heaven passin' by Look my hands are tied I will see you in another station Some other time |

Sunrise
Forgot to cover up my eyes Sunrise Should've covered up my eyes Beauty wasted on me Winds are shakin' my tree With a woman too good, to believe Take the first ride out that I see Sunrise Skies are servin' my plan Grounds are movin' where I stand Pull an airplane down With my hand And take the first flight out that I can Sunrise Forgot to cover up my eyes Beauty wasted on me Winds are movin' my trees With a woman too good, to believe Take the first ride out that I see Sunrise |

Jesus Christ been here and gone
What a painful price to pay He's left his life in a thunderstorm Tears cold dark eyes upon Swing pendulum, swing low Got no place to call my own Oh my Lord don't you bother me I'm as tired as a man can be I'm as tired as a man can be Jesus Christ been here and gone What a painful place to leave With frost on the limbs of a cherry tree This cold, cold wind is buryin' me Swing pendulum, swing slow Got no time to call my own Oh my Lord don't you bother me I'm as tired as a man can be I'm as tired as a man can be |

Put out the lions and close the door
I need you more Than I did before Old Jack's been killed and buried away Let's hang alone Outside the gate Flames scare the lions as do their dreams That's the way it'll always be Better close the door That's the way it'll always be Better close the door Some fools forever don't ask for much With frozen hand, calm Judas touch Some towers of fire can be redeemed Just let me burn High worlds away |

Night train, silver moon
You ask me why, I'm flyin' To float on ashen wings To choke on dust and feather I learned you are a liar It's right we should pretend And lie with one another It's right we should be twins For I have loved no other Look for me baby Well I'm draggin' lonliness And it's ten miles long I thought I heard you scream baby In the wheels of a train that crawls When I don't want to go Cause you forget me when I'm gone, whoa Look for me baby Whenever ice is glistening upon the glass D'ya ever find your dream baby Well God knows I never hear mine close enough I watched 'em slip away like this, whoa I've been from one end of this street to the other Now I want the gifts ya promised me lover Look for me baby Crow fly by with sister and brother Deadly as a kiss, a sin to one another Look for me baby Well I'm draggin' lonliness and it's ten miles long I thought I heard you scream baby In the wheels of a train that crawls And I don't want to go 'Cause you forget me when I'm gone, whoa Night train, silver moon You ask me why am I flyin' To float on ashen wings To choke on dust and feather My dreams will go no further Won't calm my violent river Oh guardian of peace Let the beggar walk in the winter Look for me baby Look for me baby Look for me baby Look for me baby That's all |
