Feeling apart from yourself while you're feeling
when you're alone, are you sure?
Guess you don't have too much left, do you really?
Pick it all up and go.


Anyway, here's something to make you feel better.
I guess you will, I can see.
Here's something to make you feel alright,
I bet you'd kill just to be.


Keeping the friends that you keep
do they keep you from coming to terms with yourself?
Even your shadow knows how they see you,
and neither of you really cares.


Here's something to make you feel better
a bitter pill at your feet.
Here's something to make you feel alright,
make a wish, wait and see.


Having a ball with yourself, you're defeated
will you turn back to what's left?
Right at the moment it's clear you've conceded,
will you go back to what's there?


Anyway, here's something to make me feel better,
I got you out of my mind.
Yeah, yeah,yeah.
Here's something o make me feel all right
Keep it simple and kind.


yeah,yeah,yeah,here's something to.......

Stumped the old lady with words she'd never heard
Kinda go crazy when I'm around her
I see who you are and I know what you want
I know what you have and I know you have not
Met her last summer was the last summer for me

Go on catch fire when you are happy
Go on catch fire when you are mad
If you desire make it a double
I know the troubles you think you have

Who in the world would take someone there
With eyes kinda crossed and a nose way up in the air
I see who it is when I turn the light on
Couldn't pretend no I couldn't hang on
Will the kind owner make a loner of me?

Everyone knows you can't make it cold
Without a cinder a spark will never grow
I see who you are and I know what you want
I know what you have and I know you have not
Met her last summer was the last summer for me

I'm a free man in the morning I'm gonna go home
Been serving for years, never too near, always too far
There was a young girl in the county who had an eye for me
We kissed for a while, that made her smile

Then it came down on me to fake it
I should have found a way to escape it
I was so wrong to say I'd see her one more time

I'm a young man like a preacher, no souls to mend
I've traveled too much to be known as just a traveling man
So they judged me for a crime I could never have done
They said I was one who carried a gun

In the cold light of the morning
I'm gonna go home,
It's never too near, it's always too far
I will have found a way to break it
And when I go home again I'll see her one more time

Hi, it's me sorry it's so late
The trip was hard that made you wait
You can yell and scream and not be heard

Low, on promises that were made
A love song rarely played
Is goodbye your only word?

And she said oh dear god
Give me one good reason
Why I should stay here
One more season with him.
This guy is so full of holes
And when he rains he pours.

You say that you are here for me
But where we are is far from home
Have the children gone to sleep?

Now I can't afford to waste my time
Fearing that I've left my prime
Can't be wrong so I must be right

Before you sleep at night, do you ever think of me?
I often wonder what our years of distance mean
Honestly

Have you looked around to see an opening?
Can you find a way to get here back to me?
Honestly

No, I need a hand to keep this man away from you
I wonder what our years of distance mean to you

When it's late at night do you dance hypnotically
Can you feel my hand swing you gently close to me
Honestly

I try so hard to keep so far away from you
Imagine it's the best I can do for you

Carousel can you slow down and take me on?
I need a change of company
Can you go past the stopping mark?
Go until it's dark

It was hard to leave but it's harder to be free
Cause I feel the best when she's not leaving me
Honestly

Stunned I am bewildered in my bed
An overdose on something that was said
Rollover time measured by the mile
Feeling knots that never will untie

Flecks of dust dancing in the sun
A ticking clock ticking for no-one
The phone is still and still is what it's like
To hide the sun and sink into the night

Hanging from a tree is the passing time for me
Discomfort when the tonics simply aren't
Initials in the tree in the vein of misery
At least I didn't carve you in my arms

Did you know I saw you in a dream
Me on a limb, you looking up at me
I never smiled, you laughed until you cried
It's better here at least I've come outside

Oh the family has gathered at least the ones that matter
To mourn the loss of dear sue
They saw her last night, she was feeling alright
She likes it this way I am sure
There is nobody's arms like dear sue's arms
Just look here and see
I'm here for the ride any old time

I'll see you there, I'll see you there
I'll see you there, in shadows I see you in there

Daddy has manners he's brown as leather
And tough like a hickory tree
If son is a barn, then daughter is yarn
And another is an md
She's fit to be tied when the family arrives
Just look here and see
I'm here for the ride, any old time

When you know a lady like this kind of lady
You know you've quite a find
A person of rarity, genuine as charity
Always a smile in her eye
There is nobody's charm like dear sue's charm
Just look here and see
I'm here for the ride any old time

With a bottle in your hand
Try and quench the thirst of a drowning man
How do you stand?
On a pair of legs like rubber bands
You see you really are not free
Step aside from foolish pride
Build yourself a bridge to the other side

Don't come home from drinking
With heartache on your mind
And don't say you've been thinking
About us this time
Don't come here with roses
And breath that I can see
Expecting me to be thinking about anyone but me

Another aspirin down the chute
Another meatball flying through the hoop
I see the plan
Saving up your strength
To be the ham
You see, you really are not free
Step aside from foolish pride
Build yourself a bridge to the other side

Gonna wander on the own
Find a way
Gonna find a way to run
If I should stumble on the way
Find a way
To get back into your arms

Grandmother won't you please
Oh will you sing a song
I'm begging mama won't you please
Oh you are the one
In every way, every day

When I point up to the moon, take me there
Gonna take me in your arms
Gotta feed me like a king
Yes, I'm harry lee
Harry lee to all the stars

Grandfather won't you please
Oh will you sing a song
I'm begging daddy won't you please
Oh you are the one
In every way, every day

Feather row the boat stream and turn
Feather row the boat nothing to learn
All the other boats are far away
Featherweighted, your actions say it's impossible

Feather row the boat if you like
On the river you will be allright
Look inside of her to see what is hate
She is sleeping but soon she'll wake
She's impossible

Sails cut right through it
Engines tear into it
Old people fear it
Young children won't go near it
Swim into the starry ocean

Feather row the boat with friends I hope
You were in the sky but now you float
Were you afraid of me when you flew away?
Together we can kiss the ocean spray
So lovable

It's so lovable of me
It's impossible

No silence on the streets, dirty feet, you cannot sleep
Your taxi is your home
You want to clean it up, the dirty scum, the filthy bums
You write when you're alone

But you cannot close your eyes and time goes on
And betsy let you down
You thought you had it right

No you wouldn't wait man
Took the trouble in your own hand
You wouldn't believe it when she wouldn't leave it
Stand up man

So the senator needs a ride, didn't you
Didn't you imagine if he died?
The jealous husband met his match, get a gun, darlin' one
Did you thank him for his cash?

Your shooting days are done, drive a cab, pay the tab
Guess the war is won
No silence on the street, dirty feet, you cannot sleep
Your taxi is your home

But you cannot close your eyes and time goes on
And iris let you down
You thought you had it right

Tweety fell out of the nest
Seven children laid it to rest
May the love grow up with them
Oh I, where have I been?

And all around this comfort home
Now I'm in the yard
And every face that smiles for me
Where they were, they are
It occurs to me, I am a bird to you
The wind it occurs to me, carried the bird to you

Rent a treehouse by the week
Pets included, food is free
A wall of pictures takes me in
Oh i, where have I been?

By 9 o'clock the sun has set
Say a prayer for those who forget
Settle down and plug me in
Oh I know where I am

If there ever is any trouble
Gonna wanna be there for baby
When a fighter fights, he's in there
I am the four letters of failure
You never were the acceptance
Fair is the condition I'm in

This call is not to make you feel sorrow
I can always take it back baby
If you ever want me to I will
There is a hole at the bottom
I can always say it got crazy
If you ever want me to I will

Hands wanna get it off of the pillow
Knees wrap around the still darkness
When I have an answer, know I will

Calls in the other room say you love me
I can always see it's so baby
If you ever want me to I will

Stumped the old lady with words she'd never heard
Kinda go crazy when I'm around her
I see who you are and I know what you want
I know what you have and I know you have not
Met her last summer was the last summer for me

Go on catch fire when you are happy
Go on catch fire when you are mad
If you desire make it a double
I know the troubles you think you have

Who in the world would take someone there
With eyes kinda crossed and a nose way up in the air
I see who it is when I turn the light on
Couldn't pretend no I couldn't hang on
Will the kind owner make a loner of me?

Everyone knows you can't make it cold
Without a cinder a spark will never grow
I see who you are and I know what you want
I know what you have and I know you have not
Met her last summer was the last summer for me
