Old brown clock ticking on my shelf Take my mind to someplace else Little gold clock ticking by my bed Funny little people dancing round my head. Morning brings me things to do Morning brings me thoughts of you Gentle sunshine through the curtain lace Some of which shining on your sweet face. Counting hours, making days Watching time throwing love away Nothing golden never stays That's what I heard the poets say. mhm Time is always taking me Places I don't want to be But when the morning rise the moon I know a bird day's coming soon. Counting hours making days, making days Watching time throwing love away Nothing golden never stays That's what I heard the poets say. mhm Morning brings me things to do Morning brings me thoughts of you Gentle sunshine through the curtain lace Some of which shining on your sweet face... |

Back through the years I go wondering once again Back to the seasons of my youth I recall a box of rags that someone gave us And how my mamma put these rags to use There were rags of many colours, and every piece was small And I didn't have a coat and it was way down in the fall Mamma sewed the rags together, sewing ever piece with love She made my coat of many colours, that I was so proud of As she sewed she told the story from the bible she had read About a coat of many colours, Joseph wore and they she said Perhaps this coat will bring you, much love and happiness And I just couldn't wait to wear it, and mamma blessed it with a kiss My coat of many colours that mamma made for me Made only rags, but I wore it so proudly Although we had no money. oh I was rich as I could be In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me So with patches on my breaches and holes in both my shoes In my coat of many colours, I hurried off to school Just to find the others laughing and makin' fun of me In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me Oh, I couldn't understand it, for I felt I was rich And I told them of the love my mamma sewed in ever stitch And I told them all the story, mamma told me while she sewed And how my coat of many colours is worth more than all of their clothes They didn't under stand it and I tried to make them see That one is only poor only if they choose to be Now I know we have no money, but I'm as rich as I could be In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me In my coat of many colours, my mamma just made for me |

The day breaks your mind aches You find that all her words of kindness linger on She no longer needs you She wakes up she makes up She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry She no longer needs you And in her eyes you see nothing No sign of love behind the tears Cried for no one A love that should have lasted years You want her you need her And yet you don't believe her when she said her love is dead You think she needs you She goes out you stay home She says that long ago she knew someone but now he's gone She doesn't need him And in her eyes you see nothing No sign of love behind the tears Cried for no one A love that should have lasted years Your day breaks your mind aches There will be time when all the things she said Will fill your head You won't forget her |

Now if I were a queen and a ruler of nations
With diamonds and jewels profound Well, I'd rather know that I had salvation Than to know my reward Would be Satan's jewel crown Satan's jewel crown I've worn it so long But God for my soul has reached down His love set me free He made me His own, and helped me cast off Satan's jewel crown Oh, the life that I live so sinful and needless, Drinkin' and runnin' around All the things that I do for the love of the devil I know my reward Will be Satan's jewel crown Satan's jewel crown I've worn it so long But God for my soul has reached down His love set me free He made me His own, and helped me cast off Satan's jewel crown |

I heard the train
In the Tulsa night Calling out my name Looking for a fight She's come a long, long way Got a longer way to go So tell me how a train from Tulsa Has got a right to know She sings a song So sad and high And the Tulsa queen Don't ever lie And she don't care where she goes Don't care where she's been And the Tulsa queen ain't crying 'Cause I won't see you again And I want to ride Like a Tulsa queen Calling out to you As she calls to me As far away from Tulsa As these ten wheels can be Lately I speak Your name too loud Each time it comes up In a crowd And I know it when I do The Tulsa queen and you Are gone... |

Songbird in a golden cage She'd prefer the blue How I crave the liquor of her song Poor bird who has done no harm What harm could she do She shall be my prisoner her life long My songbird wants her freedom Now don't you think I know But I can't find it in myself To let my songbird go I just can't let her go O lord, when your jeweler's eye Peers into my soul O lord, I am overcome with shame Take me lord and purfy Heal me with a word Lord, I beg a gift I dare not claim |

The green rolling hills of West Virginia Are the nearest thing to heaven that I know Tho the times are sad and drear And I cannot linger here They'll keep me and never let me go My daddy said don't ever be a miner For a miner's grave is all you'll ever own 'Cause the hard times everywhere I can't find a dime to spare These are the worst times I've ever known Si I'll move away into some crowded city In some northern factory town you'll find me here Tho I'll leave the past behind I'll never change my mind These trouble times are more than I can bear But someday I'll go back to west Virginia To the green rolling hills I love so well Yes someday I'll go home And I know I'll right the wrong These trouble times will follow me no more Yes someday I'll go home And I know I'll right the wrong These trouble times will follow me no more |

Cowboys and indians and trees he could climb Tomorrow came too fast but he didn't mind The distance was short so light it again It don't take no time to get where I am But one paper kid wasn't really so mean Just a little bit scarred and a little bit green And he'd heard of a place it was legal to dream So he sat with his coffee in a blue Texas wind And he wrote on a rock The one paper kid is rollin'again Driver was drunk or he just didn't see The future is there it'll happen to me And all the time that he wasted was his once again Ah, it never takes long to get where you've been Broken hearts scattered all over the past Old bad memories trying to last Whiskey and women and growing up fast Fussing and loving and itching like grass Hell that one paper kid wasn't really so mean Just a little bit weird cause times were so lean Now he's gone to a place where it's legal to dream No camels no coffe no cold morning winds It was wrote on a rock The one paper kid is rollin' again |

I hear the soft wind sighing In every bush and tree The sound of my heart crying When you are far from me When we're apart, my darlin' There's sorrow in the wind When we're apart, my darlin Sweet sorrow in the wind You leave me in the morning Your footsteps die away Tho' not a leaf is stirring I hear the wind alday When we're apart, my darlin' There's sorrow in the wind When we're apart, my darlin Sweet sorrow in the wind They say when love grows older It dies and fades away Yet all our life together One ever brightening day When we're apart, my darlin' There's sorrow in the wind When we're apart, my darlin Sweet sorrow in the wind When we're apart, my darlin' There's sorrow in the wind When we're apart, my darlin Sweet sorrow in the wind Sweet sorrow in the wind |

Come in as you tread life's journey Take Jesus as your daily guide Tho you may feel pure and safely Without Him walking by your side But when you come to make the crossing At the ending of your pilgrim's way If you ever will meet our Savior You'll surely meet Him on that day Now look at that cold Jordan Look at these deep waters Look at that wide river Oh hear the mighty billows roar You'd beter take Jesus with you He's a true companion For I'm sure without Him That you never will make it o'er That awful Day of Judgment Is coming in the by and by We'll se our Lord descending In Glory from on high So let us kep in touch with Jesus And in his grace the Love of God That we may be ever called ready When He calss us over Jordan's Tide Now look at that cold Jordan Look at these deep waters Look at that wide river Oh hear the mighty billows roar You'd beter take Jesus with you He's a true companion For I'm sure without Him That you never will make it o'er Oh what, what you gonna do Oh what, what you gonna do Oh how, how you gonna feel When you come to the end of the Way |

The sun is slowly sinkin'
The day's almost gone Still darkness falls around us And we must journey on The darkest hour is just before dawn The narrow way leads home Lay down your soul at Jesus' feet The darkest hour is just before dawn Like a shepherd out on the mountain A-watchin' the sheep down below He's coming back to claim us Will you be ready to go The darkest hour is just before dawn The narrow way leads home Lay down your soul Let Jesus in The darkest hour is just before dawn The darkest hour is just before dawn |

This morning is Monday where are you now Teasin' my memory teaching me how To lay low when I don't want to. Well, love is elusive this I know now It's making me crazy leaving me out In the open when I don't want to. The moments of pleasures never do last Are gone like a suitcase full of your past Long gone and in a hurry. Baby, I can't go through this again I don't need to go down more then I've already been Just like a wild fire you're running all over town As much as you burn me, baby I should be ashes by now. The second street beggars alone in their life Drunk on a sidewalk to hide from the night Like I am They're just like I am. Baby, I can't go through this again I don't need to go down more then I've already been Just like a wild fire you're running all over town As much as you burn me, baby I should be ashes by now. Just like a wild fire you're running all over town As much as you burn me, baby I should be ashes by now. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah I should be ashes by now... |

Somewhere there's music, how faint the tune Somewhere there's heaven, how high the moon There is no moon above and love is far away too 'Til it comes true, that you love me and I love you. Somewhere there's music, how near how far Somewhere there's heaven, that's where you are The darkest night would shine if you would come to me soon Until you will, I'll still my heart, how high the moon. Somewhere there's music, how faint the tune Somewhere there's heaven, how high the moon The darkest night would shine if you would come to me soon Until you will, I'll still my heart, how high the moon. The darkest night would shine if you would come to me soon Until you will, I'll still my heart, how high the moon |

(Paul Siebel)
Those other years, the dusty years We drove the big herds through I tried to forget the miles we rode And Spanish Johnny too He'd sit beside a water ditch When all this herd was in And he'd never harm a child But sing to his mandolin. The old talk, the old ways, And the dealin' of our game But Spanish Johnny never spoke, But sing a song of Spain And his talk with men was vicious talk When he was drunk on gin Ah, but those were golden things He said to his mandolin. We had to stand, we tried to judge, We had to stop him then For the hand so gentle to a child Had killed so many men He died a hard death long ago before the road come in And the night before he swung He sung to his mandolin. Well, we carried him out in the mornin' sun A man that done no good And we lowered him down in the cold clay Stuck in a cross of wood And a letter we wrote to his kinfolk To tell them where he'd been And we shipped it out to Mexico, Along with his mandolin... |

I got a '69 Chevy with a 396 Fuelie heads
And a Hurst on the floor She's waiting tonight down in the parking lot Outside the 7-11 store. Me and my partner Sonny built her straight out of scratch And he rides with me from town to town We only run for the money got no strings attached We shut 'em up and then we shut 'em down. Tonight, tonight the strip's just right I'm gonna blow 'em off in my first heat Summer's here and the time is right For racing in the street. We take all the action we can meet And we cover all the northeast states When the strip shuts down we run 'em in the street From the fire roads to the interstate. Now some guys they just give up living And start dying little by little piece by piece Some guys come home from work And wash up and go racing in the street. Tonight, tonight the strip's just right I'm gonna blow 'em all out of their seats Calling out around the world We're going racing in the street. --- Instrumental --- He met her on the strip three years ago In a Camaro with this dude from LA He blew that Camaro off his back And he drove that little girl away. But now there's wrinkles around his baby's eyes And she cries herself to sleep at night When he comes home the house is dark She says baby did you make it alright? She sits on the porch of her daddy's house But all her pretty dreams are torn She stares out alone into the night with the eyes Of one who hates for just being born. For all the shut-down strangers and hot rod angels Rumbling through this promised land Tonight my baby and me we're gonna ride to the sea And wash these sins off our hands. Tonight, tonight the highway's bright Out of our way mister, you best keep 'Cause summer's here and the time is right For racing in the street... |

Roses are red Violets are blue Primrose is pale On the velvet green hue Warm summer days Like cool water falls Like music we hear Those things we'll always hold dear Like an old fashioned waltz When the moonlight shines down On the Hollywood world And the heroine waits For her love to return And the violins play From behind garden walls Oh how I love to remain With the silver refrain Of an old fashioned waltz And they danc 'round the floor And ther's no one else there In the world is no woc And is never a care By the perfect moon As the nightingale calls With only the moon And the nostalgic tune Of an old fashioned waltz |

I hear the sound of sorrow in the wind Blowing down from every mile I've ever been Calling me out on some road that just won't end Where the sweetheart rides the rodeo again A thousand nights a thousand towns I took the bows But there is no compensation for me now Out along the highway where the west was won No matter how fast I ride or far I run Waiting for the sweetheart of the rodeo They're comin' down from Tonopah to Tupelo She'll come to town to ride the radio Like she's slidin' down the walls of Jericho There goes the sweetheart of the rodeo I stepped into the light you left behind I stood there where all the world could see me shine Oh I was on my way to you to make you mine But I took the longest road that I could find |

When I was Yours
In a lonely room waiting for the night to fall I hear your voice in every whip-poor-will that calls And it takes me back to a better place and a sweeter time When I was yours and you were mine As the shadows fall and the light grows dim I see your face I close my eyes and feel the warmth of your embrace as I long for you And for all those days when hearts entwined When I was yours and you were mine When I was yours and you were mine When I was yours and you were mine A truer love in Caroline Ever waltzed across these hills and danced beneath the stars Life was sweeter than the flowers blooming on the vine When I was yours and you were mine So I lay my head On a pillow soft and stained with tears I cry for you through all the long and lonely years But when I dream till the morning sun comes to shine Then I'll be yours and you'll be mine Yes I will go back to a better place and a sweeter time When I was yours and you were mine |

(Bruce Springsteen)
Last night I dreamed that I was a child Out where the pines grow wild and tall I was trying to make it home through the forest Before the darkness falls. I heard the wind rustling through the trees And ghostly voices rose from the fields I ran with my heart pounding down that broken path With the devil snappin' at my heels. I broke through the trees, and there in the night My father's house stood shining hard and bright The branches and brambles tore my clothes and scratched my arms But I ran till I fell, shaking in his arms. I awoke and I imagined the hard things that pulled us apart Will never again, sir, tear us from each other's hearts I got dressed, and to that house I did ride From out on the road, I could see its windows shining in light. I walked up the steps and stood on the porch A woman I didn't recognize came and spoke to me through a chained door I told her my story, and who I'd come for She said "I'm sorry, son, but no one by that name lives here anymore." My father's house shines hard and bright It stands like a beacon calling me in the night Calling and calling, so cold and alone Shining 'cross this dark highway where our sins lie unatoned... |

Bright morning stars are rising, Bright morning stars are rising, Bright morning stars are rising, Day is a-breaking in my soul. Oh, where are our dear mothers, Day is a-breaking in my soul. They are down in the valley praying, Day is a-breaking in my soul. Oh where are our dear fathers, Day is a-breaking in my soul. They have gone to heaven shouting, Day is a-breaking in my soul. Bright morning stars are rising, Day is a-breaking in my soul. |

When darkness fills the valley Fear and dread strive deep within us But our burdens soon will be lifted When these old homes turn to dust When He calls I'm going to live with Jesus In His kingdom He welcomes everyone I shall not fear no more earthly peril For He will carry me Home Now Satan will come to tempt me But I'll try to resist sinful ways And I pray that I'll find salvation In that peaceful Home far away When He calls I'm going to live with Jesus In His kingdom He welcomes everyone I shall not fear no more earthly perils For He will carry Home When He calls I'm going to live with Jesus In His kingdom He welcomes everyone I shall not fear no more earthly peril He will carry me Home |

I'm looking for that Lonely Street I've got a sad sad tale to tell I need a place to go and weep Where's this place called Lonely Street A place where there's just loneliness Where dim lights bring forgetfulness Where broken dreams and memories meet Where's this place called Lonely Street Perhaps upon that Lonely Street There's someone such as I Who came to bury broken dreams And watch an old love die A place where there's just loneliness Where dim lights bring forgetfulness Where broken dreams and memories meet Where's this place called Lonely Street |

Say a prayer for the cowgirl her horse ran away
She'll walk 'til she finds him her darlin' her stray But the river's in flood and the roads are awash And the bridges break up in the panic of loss And there's nothin' to follow nowhere to go He's gone like the summer gone like the snow And the crickets are breaking her heart with their song As the day caves in and the night is all wrong Did she dream it was he who went galloping past And bent down the fern broke open the grass And printed the mud with the well-hammered shoe That she nailed to his speed in the dreams of her youth And although he goes grazin' a minute away She tracks him all night she tracks him all day And she's blind to his presence except to compare Her injury here with his punishment there Then at home on a branch on a high stream A songbird sings out so suddenly And the sun is warm and the soft winds ride On a willow tree by the riverside An the world is sweet and world is wide And he's there where the light and the darkness divide And the steam's comin' off him he's huge and he's shy And he steps on the moon when he paws at the sky And he comes to her hand but he's nor really tame He longs to be lost she longs for the same And he'll bolt and he'll plunge thru the first open pass To roll and to feed in the sweet mountain grass Or he'll make a break for the high plateau Where there's nothing above and noting below It's time for their burden the whip and the spur Will she ride with him or will he ride with her So she binds herself to her galloping steed And he binds himself to the woman in need And there is no space just left and right And there is no time but there is day and night Then she learns on his neck and whispers low Whither thou goest I will go And they turn as one the head for the plain No need for the whip oh no need for the rain Now the clasp of this union who fastens it tight Who snaps it asunder the very next night Some say it's him some say it's her Some say love's like smoke beyond all repair So my darlin' my darlin' just let go by That old silhouette on the great western sky And I'll pick out a tune and they'll move right along And they're gone like smoke and they're gone like this song Say a prayer for the cowgirl |

See what you lost when you left This world, this sweet old world See what you lost when you left This world, this sweet old world. The breath from your own lips, the touch of fingertips A sweet and tender kiss The sound of a midnight train, wearing someone's ring Someone calling your name Somebody so warm cradled in your arm Didn't you think you were worth anything. See what you lost when you left This world, this sweet old world See what you lost when you left This world, this sweet old world. Millions of us in love, promises made good Your own flesh and blood Looking for some truth, dancing with no shoes The beat, the rhythm, the blues The pounding of your heart's drum together with another one Didn't you think anyone loved you. See what you lost when you left This world, this sweet old world See what you lost when you left This world, this sweet old world... |

All My Tears
When I go don't cry for me In my fathers arms I'll be The wounds this world left on my soul Will all be healed and I'll be whole Sun and moon will be replaced With the light of Jesus' face And I will not be ashamed For my savior knows my name It don't matter where you bury me I'll be home and I'll be free It don't matter where I lay All my tears be washed away Gold and silver blind the eye Temporary riches lie Come and eat from heaven's store Come and drink and thirst no more So weep not for me my friend When my time below does end For my life belongs to him Who will raise the dead again It don't matter where you bury me I'll be home and I'll be free It don't matter where I lay All my tears be washed away |

(Emmylou Harris)
There's a valley of sorrow in my soul Where every night I hear the thunder roll Like the sound of a distant gun Over all the damage I have done. And the shadows filling up this land Are the ones I built with my own hand There is no comfort from the cold Of this valley of sorrow in my soul. There's a river of darkness in my blood And through every vein I feel the flood I can find no bridge for me to cross No way to bring back what is lost. Into the night it soon will sweep Down where all my grievances I keep But it won't wash away the years Or one single hard and bitter tear. And the rock of ages I have known Is a weariness down in the bone I used to ride it like a rolling stone Now I just carry it alone. There's a highway risin' from my dreams Deep in the heart I know it gleams For I have seen it stretching wide Clear across to the other side. Beyond the river and the flood And the valley where for so long I've stood With the rock of ages in my bones Someday I know it will lead me home. oh, oh, oh... |

I meant to ask you how to fix that car
I always meant to ask you about the war And what you saw across a bridge too far Did it leave a scar. Or how you navigated wings of fire and steel Up where heaven had no more secrets to conceal And still you found the ground beneath your wheels How did it feel. Bang the drum slowly play the pipe lowly To dust be returning from dust we begin Bang the drum slowly I'll speak of things holy Above and below me world without end. I meant to ask you how when everything seemed lost And your fate was in a game of dice they tossed There was still that line that you would never cross At any cost. I meant to ask you how you lived what you believed With nothing but your heart up your sleeve And if you ever really were deceived By the likes of me. Bang the drum slowly play the pipe lowly To dust be returning from dust we begin Bang the drum slowly I'll speak of things holy Above and below me world without end. Gone now is the day and gone the sun There is peace tonight all over Arlington But the songs of my life will still be sung By the light of the moon you hung. I meant to ask you how to plow that field I meant to bring you water from the well And be the one beside you when you fell Could you tell. Bang the drum slowly play the pipe lowly To dust be returning from dust we begin Bang the drum slowly I'll speak of things holy Above and below me world without end... |

You don't love me this I know
Don't need a bible to tell me so I hung around a little too long I was good but now I'm gone. Like the buffalo That boy from Tupelo Any way the wind can blow That's where I'm gonna go I'll be gone like a five and dime It'll be the perfect crime Just ask the boy from Tupelo He's the king and he oughta know. The shoulder I've been leanin on Is the coldest place I've ever known There's nothin left for me round here Looks like it's time to disapear. Like the buffalo That boy from Tupelo The old wall down in Jericho Maybelle on the radio I'll be gone like the five and dime It'll be the perfect crime Just ask the boy from Tupelo He's the king and he oughta know. You don't love me, this I know Don't need a bible to tell me so It's a shame and it's a sin Everything I coulda been to you. Your last chance Texaco Your sweetheart of the rodeo A juliet to your romeo The border you cross into Mexico I'll never understand why or how Oh, but baby its too late now Just ask the boy from Tupelo He's the king and he oughta know... |

Some daddy's little girl More precious than the ruby More cherished than the pearl. My heart was full of mercy And my forehead full of curl Now I am nothing and Am lost unto this world. I am lost unto this world. They herded me like cattle Cut me down like corn Took me from my babies Before they could be born. You can blame it on the famine You can blame it on the war You can blame it on the devil It don't matter anymore. I am lost unto this world. I was tortured in the desert I was raped out on the plain I was murdered by the high way And my cries went up in vain. My blood is on the mountain My blood is on the sand My blood runs in the river That now washes thru their hands. I am lost unto this world. Can I get no witness This unholy tale to tell Was God the only one there Watching and weeping as I fell. Oh, you among the living Will you remember me at all Will you write my name out With a single finger scrawl. Across a broken window In some long forgotten wall That goes stretching out forever Where the tears of heaven fall. I am lost unto this world... |

You gave yourself up to the mystery
And sailed the oceans looking for The secret of the key To unlock a truth that you may never find For it was m a cup of kindness all the time. You feel the thirst But none can make you drink The answer's waiting for you here but It's not what you think It won't steal your soul or leave you blind It was just a cup of kindness all the time. And when Mother Mary finally comes to call She could pass right thru your heart And leave no trace at all While you were reaching for The sacred and divine She was standing right beside you All the time. And the emptiness You can't seem to fill Beauty fades and pleasures cannot Take away the chili And the glamour lures you down into a lie O but the cup of kindness Never will run dry. You hear the vandals Howlin' down your walls And arm yourself against the ones Who want to see you fall Till some Holy Grail reveals The grand design Well, it was in a cup of kindness All the time... |

(David Olney)
The strange young man who comes to me A soldier on a three day spree He needs one night's cheap ecstasy And a woman's arms to hide him. He greets me with a courtly bow And hides his pain by acting proud He drinks too much and he laughs too loud How can I deny him? Let us dance beneath the moon I'll sing to you Claire de Lune The morning always comes too soon But tonight the war is over. He speaks to me in schoolboy French Of a soldier's life inside a trench Of the look of death and the ghastly stench I do my best to please him. He puts two roses in a vase Two roses sadly out of place Like the gallant smile on his haggard face Playfully I tease him. Hold me neath the Paris skies Let's not talk of how or why Tomorrow's soon enough to die But tonight the war is over. We make love too hard, too fast He falls asleep his face a mask He wakes with the shakes and he drinks from his flask I put my arms around him. They die in the trenches and they die in the air In Belgium and France the dead are everywhere They die so fast there's no time to prepare A decent grave to surround them. Old world glory, old world fame The old world's gone, gone up in flames Nothing will ever be the same And nothing lasts forever. Oh, I'd pray for him but I've forgotten how And there's nothing nothing that can save him now There's always another with the same funny bow And who am I to deny them. Lux aeterna Luce-at e-is domine cum Sanctic tu-is in aeternum Qui-a pius es requiem aeternaum Dona e-is Domine. Qui-a pius es requiem aeternaum Dona e-is Domine Qui-a pius es et lux perpetua luce-at- e-is Cum Sancris tu-is in Aeternum qui-api-us es Tonight the war is over... |

Oh, have you seen my dear companion For he was all this world to me I hear he's gone to some far country And that he cares no more for me. I wish I were a swallow flying I'd fly to a high and lonesome place I'd join the wild birds in their crying Thinking of you and your sweet face. --- Instrumental --- Oh, have you seen my dear companion For he was all this world to me But now the stars have turned against me And he cares no more for me. Oh, when the dark is on the mountain And all the world has gone to sleep I will go down to cold dark waters And there I'll lay me down and weep. Oh, have you seen my dear companion? Oh, have you seen my dear companion? Oh, have you seen my dear companion? Oh, have you seen my dear companion? For he was all this world to me... |

All I left behind should come as no surprise
To me since I fell through the black hole of your eye Only little things inconsequential I could say Of all I left behind with you along the lost highway Silver earrings in Wichita Beaded moccasins in Tonapah But I had you so I just let them go The flannel shirt I wore to keep me from the cold When we drove from Boston all the way to Buffalo The leather boots I bought so many miles ago I took them off to follow you into the Ohio Never did my armor feel so thin Silk was all I had between me and your skin Like waterloo I lost that too And the gold bracelet with my fathers name inscribed On the back by the one who loved him all her life The way I too could have loved you The spanish shawl I put across the broken shade Of the lamp that lit the room That last night near Cour d'Alene Only little things inconsequential I could say Of all I left behind with you along the lost highway Of all I left behind |

I went home to a place I swore I'd never see again
Though it's different now there's hardly anything that hasn't changed And the friends I know have grown and moved away But the love I felt for you still remains I walked down past the buildings, stand empty and unused Where you asked me one more time if I'd stay And then you cried when I refused Oh that was long ago I moved away and I changed my name But the love I felt for you still remains It remains it blows down the dusty streets And rise above the rain And rooms locked the time away Out on the open plains Yes the love I felt for you still remains All I can say is I always thought you'd be there when I came But you wanted more and I could say the same Now I'm leaving like a boxcar on some lonesome westbound train But the love I felt for you still remains It remains it blows down the dusty streets And rise above the rain And rooms locked the time away Out on the open plains Yes the love I felt for you still remains And rooms locked the time away Out on the open plains Yes the love I felt for you still remains |

You can't hold me
I'm too slippery I do no sleepin' I get lonely you can touch me if you want to I got poison I just might bite you Lie in circles on the sunlight shine like diamonds on a dark night ain't no mercy in my smilin' only fangs and sweet beguiling Future, he don't try to find me skin I been through dies behind me solid hollow wrapped in hatred not a drop of venom wasted You can slip in try to find me hold your breath and flat deny me it makes no difference to my thinkin' I'll be here when you start sinkin' |

written by Woody Guthrie
Go to sleep you weary hobo Let the towns drift slowly by Can't you hear the steel rails hummin' That's the hobo's lullaby I know your clothes are torn and ragged And your hair is turning gray Lift your head and smile at trouble You'll find peace and rest someday Now don't you worry 'bout tomorrow Let tomorrow come and go Tonight you're in a nice warm boxcar Safe from all that wind and snow I know the police cause you trouble They cause trouble everywhere But when you die and go to Heaven You'll find no policemen there So go to sleep you weary hobo Let the towns drift slowly by Listen to the steel rails hummin' That's a hobo's lullaby |

No affection were the words that stuck on my mind When she walked out on me for the very last time Oh mama, sweet mama can you tell me what to say I don't know what I've done to be treated this way. In a cold dirty room that's where I found myself With a bottle of wine and some pills off the shelf Oh mama, sweet mama can you tell me what to say I don't know what I've done and I'm feeling so ashamed. --- Instrumental --- Then an angel appeared she was just seventeen In a dirty old town with a conscious so clean Oh mamma, sweet mamma can you tell me what to say She's brought back the life that I once threw away. She's brought back the life that I once threw away... |

She ...
She came from the land of the cotton A land that was nearly forgotten By everyone And she ... She worked and she slaved so hard A big ol' field was her backyard In the delta sun Oh, but she sure could sing Yes, yes She sure could sing Then he ... Looked down and he took a little pity The whole town swore he decided He help her some And he Didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty For deep inside his heart he knew She was the only one Oh, but she sure could sing My, my she sure could sing She had faith and she had believin' She led all the people together in singin' And she prayed very night To the Lord up above Singin' hallelujah Oh, hallelujah They ... Would walk singin' songs by the river Even when she knew for sure She had to go away And she Never knew what her life had to give her And never had to worry about it For one single day Oh, but she sure could sing Yes, yes she sure could sing |

This old town is filled with sin It will swallow you in If you've got some money to burn Take it home right away You've got three years to pay But Satan is waiting his turn The scientists say It will all wash away But we don't believe any more Cause we've got our recruits And our green mohair suits So please show your I.D. At the door This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poor house It seems like this whole town's insane On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain A friend came around Tried to clean up this town His ideas made some people mad But he trusted his crowd So he spoke right out loud And they lost the best friend they had This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poor house It seems like this whole town's insane On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain On the thirty-first floor a gold plated door Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain |

Away beyond the blue
Away beyond the blue One star belongs to you One star belongs to you And every breath I take And every breath I take I'm closer to that place I'm closer to that place Yeah baby, I'm gonna meet you there On the outskirts of the sky Yeah baby, I'm gonna meet you there And we will fly Away beyond the blue Away beyond the blue One star belongs to you This life is but a dream This life is but a dream Go gently down the stream Go gently down the stream |

A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labour camp
Stand out in this memory I revived; Cause my daddy raised a family there, with two hard working hands And tried to feed my mama's hungry eyes. He dreamed of something better, and my mama's faith was strong And us kids were just to young to realize That another class of people put us somewhere just below; One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes. Mama never had the luxuries she wanted But it wasn't cause my daddy didn't try. She only wanted things she really needed; One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes. I remember daddy praying for a better way of life But I don't recall a change of any size; Just a little loss of courage, as their age began to show And more sadness in my mama's hungry eyes. Mama never had the luxuries she wanted But it wasn't cause my daddy didn't try. She only wanted things she really needed; One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes. Oh, I still recall my mama's hungry eyes. |

The wind can blow cold, it moans and it cries When it carries the sound of a thousand goodbyes But if you listen tonight on that high, lonely plain You'll just hear my voice as it calls out your name. You'll just hear my voice as it calls out your name. You've been on a road that just don't seem to end Where that broken old heart of yours won't ever mend You've crossed over bridges and bridges they burn So many rivers and so much to learn. So many bridges and so much to learn. But the moon is so full, the stars are so bright And my hand is steady, my touch is light Look in my eyes, hold on real tight And I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight. I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight. We both have known hard luck And love that's gone wrong When the ghosts take the shadows and The night takes too long We folded our cards when the hand wasn't strong But that wheel will keep spinning long after we're gone Yeah, that wheel will keep spinning long after we're gone. And the moon is so full, the stars are so bright And my hand is steady, my touch is light Look in my eyes, hold on real tight and I'll Waltz you my darling across Texas tonight. I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight Look in my eyes, hold on real tight And I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight I'll waltz you my darling across Texas tonight... |

O the dragons are gonna fly tonight
They're circling low and inside tonight It's another round in the losing fight Out along the great divide tonight. We are aging soldiers in an ancient war Seeking out some half remembered shore We drink our fill and still we thirst for more Asking if there's no heaven what is this hunger for? Our path is worn our feet are poorly shod We lift up our prayer against the odds And fear the silence is the voice of God. And we cry allelujah, allelujah We cry allelujah. Sorrow is constant and the joys are brief The seasons come and bring no sweet relief Time is a brutal but a careless thief Who takes our lot but leaves behind the grief. It is the heart that kills us in the end Just one more old broken bone that cannot mend As it was now and ever shall be amen And we cry allelujah, allelujah We cry allelujah. So there'll be no guiding light for you and me We are not sailors lost out on the sea We were always headed toward eternity Hoping for a glimpse of Gaililee. Like falling stars from the universe we are hurled Down through the long loneliness of the world Until we behold the pain become the pearl Cryin' allelujah, allelujah We cry allelujah. And we cry allelujah, allelujah We cry allelujah... |
