My mom'd give me twenty and say stay out till dawn
When her boyfriend was over and they wanted me gone I would walk through the woods to the old graveyard And roll my own tops and think two kind of a thoughts Are we high enough to clear these trees? I don't know That was the summer dave's girlfriend OD'ed She died in the bathroom at a party down the street I went to see him the next night, he had a new tattoo He was watching home movies of her His face was wet, he looked so confused They had a funeral for her The preacher said she was with the Lord There were lots of pictures of her Taped to a poster board Are we high enough to clear these trees? I don't know Are we high enough to clear this place? I don't know Grocery stores in the middle of the night shine their own kinda light High school halls and shopping malls never fit me right But my heart would swing free like a lasso from my hand When I'd hear that sound and put the pedal down I wound up that fall in a hospital On the suicide wing with a lot of people thinkin' one thing They had a sign on the wall that said no touching at all There were screams in the dark, nurses running down the hall On the night that I got there they showered me and searched me hard Then they took me to my little room overlooking a graveyard When I opened my eyes I was strapped to the bed There was a needle in my arm, part of me was gone Then they took us outside in our slippers and gowns To play basketball on the blacktop, the ball just bounced till it stopped Are we high enough to clear these trees? I don't know Are we high enough to clear this place? I don't know Grocery stores in the middle of the night shine their own kinda light High school halls and shopping malls never did me right But my heart would swing free like a lasso from my hand When I'd hear that sound and put the pedal down When the leaves were wet behind the old duplex We used to run at night naked through the trees And you would lean back against me and I would try to stay soft We'd listen to the engines as the planes took off |

Every step I take takes me farther from you
Every move I make reminds me that I'll always love you Since you were a child we built our lives around you How am I supposed to live in this world we made without you? Sometimes late at night I go the field Is that where you are? Are you a shooting star? Can you say my name? Darling can you hear me? Tell me where's your heart now that it stopped beating? It's right here, it's right here, it's right here When you joined the war we were so proud of you You seemed so grown up, living life the way we taught you Then your first letter came, it sounded nothing like you It took all my strength to keep myself from running to you Sometimes late at night I go the field Is that where you are? Are you a shooting star? Can you say my name? Darling can you hear me? Tell me where's your heart now that it stopped beating? It's right here, it's right here, it's right here And it will always be until the sun dries the ocean And you will always be my little one If I was the President, if I was that man I would walk out with those kids, out across the sand If I was the President, if I was that brave I would take a shovel then dig each child their grave If I was the President and my world turned black I would want no victory, I'd just want you back I don't want no victory, I just want you back |

Is who you are now who you want to be now
Or are you someone you don't wanna be? Is what you wanted what you really wanted Or is it nothing like you dreamed? Honey, there's a hole in the life we've made With thousands of people laughing in the shade Pointing their fingers at the mess we've made There's a tourist in every heart That just wants to say Winter's coming and it's time to go It's already over, we just didn't know They're stacking up wood where the flowers grow There's a tourist in every heart That can't wait to go Is who you are now who you want to be now Or are you someone you don't wanna be? Is what you wanted really what you wanted Or is it nothing like you dreamed? Honey, there's a boat and it waits for us Somewhere there's a time and a place for us It could be perfect if it wasn't for us Cause momma, we're in love with a memory A perfect dream of how it used to be When our hair was windy and our nights were free There's a tourist in every heart Sees what it wants to see Is who you are now who you want to be now Or are you someone you don't wanna be? Is what you wanted really what you wanted Or is it nothing like you dreamed? |

When I got home there was blood on the door.
I saw you lying on the kitchen floor. I ran down the hall and when I saw what he did and found our little bitty baby lying dead in her crib. There's a black wind blowing. Oh, there's a black wind blowing. There's a black wind blowing outside our gates trying to blow this place into outer space. There's a black wind blowing. I didn't bother picking up the phone. I'm gonna get there first, I want you all alone. There's gonna be blood on the wall and a ? Your scripture won't save you when my gun's in your mouth. There's a black wind blowing. Oh, there's a black wind blowing. There's a black wind blowing outside our gates trying to blow this place into outer space. There's a black wind blowing. I was eighteen when I first came here. Me and my brother trying to disappear. He chose the profit, baby, I chose you. From that day I feared what he could do. There's a black wind blowing. Oh, there's a black wind blowing. There's a black wind blowing outside our gates trying to blow this place into outer space. There's a black wind blowing. I took the corner then I gunned it hard. I drove my truck into your front yard. You came out running but I was too fast. I took out your legs and dropped you in the grass. There were people outside, I heard somebody scream. My whole life became a movie screen. I remembered us jumping on our momma's bed. She was yelling be careful or you'll bump your head. I put my gun up under your chin. My hand was shaking so I dug it in. You started laughing, said I understand. You wish you couldn't but I know you can. You can. There's a black wind blowing. Oh, there's a black wind blowing. There's a black wind blowing outside our gates trying to blow this place into outer space. |

Hold my hand, little one, the feeling is slipping away
We've come so far you know, God, how I wish I could stay Hold my hand, little one, the feeling is coming again We've got so far to go just when it feels like the end Sing out, sing for the wounded heart Sing for the lives we've lost Sing out, sing for the blood of man Poured out at such a cost Sing out, baby, baby, I don't understand The flowers that you place in my hand Sing out, sing for the love of God Sing for the changing man I've been a rolling stone since the devil first came to me No light upon my feet, so much that I couldn't see I was a hurricane till the hurricane called my name Into the eye of the storm out of the cold, cold rain Sing out, sing for the wounded heart Sing for the lives we've lost Sing out, sing for the blood of man Poured out at such a cost Sing out, baby, baby, I don't understand The power that you place in my hands Sing out, sing for the love of God Sing for the changing man Hold my hand, little one, the feeling is slipping away We've come too far you know to let it turn out this way Hold my hand, little one, the feeling is coming again We've got so far to go, oh, and it feels like the end I've been a rolling stone since the devil first came to me No light upon my feet, so much that I couldn't see I was a hurricane till the hurricane called my name Into the eye of the storm out of the cold, cold rain |

One, two, three, four
Underneath the lilac tree I close my eyes and suddenly I'm ten years old and running through An open field, chasing after you Sounds of summer fill my ears If I live 10,000 years I'll never feel as good as this Moments before our first kiss There is nothing to demand No algebra to understand Just sunlight on a freckled face And everything in its right place Simple things turn magical Minutes freeze like Popsicles And drip their seconds down our shirts I love you so much it hurts There's no such thing as real time I've been yours and you've been mine And we've lived ever happily Everywhere I've been you've been with me There is nothing to control No question mark left on our souls Just sunlight on a freckled face There is nothing to demand No politics to understand Just sunlight on a freckled face Everything in its right place Everything in its right place And I want to give you a brand new sky Something so open, it brings tears to your eyes So clear and so present, it doesn't seem real I want to show you how you make me feel I want to give you a brand new dream Where two horses drink from a silver stream As the trees catch fire they lift their heads And bolt together through the forest across our beds I want to bring you the fields of flowers I want to build you Eiffel Towers Take the clouds in the evening, turn 'em into stars And drop 'em like keys through your prison bars Set you free, yeah |

Lonely road, we gotta walk it just a little bit farther
Heavens knows it can't get any harder than it is today Lonely road, it's not ahead but is it getting harder Heaven knows it can't get any darker than it is today Who do you miss in times like this When your thoughts are filled with sadness and regrets? To who do you pray when you've lost your way And you've such a heavy load? Let me walk with you upon this lonely road Lonely road, empty kitchen and a brand new feeling Nothing's moving but my heart is reeling since you went away Lonely road, gotta walk it till we start forgiving Find another way to go on living without you today Who do you miss in times like this When your thoughts are filled with sadness and regrets? To who do you pray when you've lost your way And you've such a heavy load? Let me walk with you upon this lonely road Lonely road, we gotta walk it just a little bit farther Heavens knows it can't get any harder than it is today Lonely road, gotta walk it till we start forgiving Find another way to go on living without you today Who do you miss in times like this When your thoughts are filled with sadness and regrets? To who do you pray when you've lost your way And you've such a heavy load? Let me walk with you upon this lonely road |

High in the hills there's an angel and the ghost in chains
Here in your arms there's a desert where it always rains As your legs begin to spread, how I wish I was not dead Standing backwards to the blood of man Babies in jars, luxury cars, seasons that don't come true Happiness waits outside the gates, watching each thing we do Ocean mother, ocean child, are you mine or are you wild? Are you calling for the blood of man? I'll keep my dreams in the river tonight Under the rocks and stones they will be alright I'll hide my dreams in the river tonight Under the rocks and moss, there they will be alright Where did you go? Oh, please come back I miss you so, oh Where did you go? Oh, please come back I miss you so, oh Ocean mother, ocean child, are you mine or are you wild? Are you calling for the blood of man? |
