As We Go Down
03:33
|
|||
|
When I lost your love the last time
A hill, a step, a landslide
Was it the sound, the taste, the loss, that that made you go?
I went down with full abandon
The grip, I lost, and then some
The bottle dropped me down across the floor.
Chorus:
When the water’s rough, Honey, we make love
To the sound of the crashing waves as we go down
Would it be the same if it was calm again?
Would we smile in the sun, look away and disappear?
If the seasons never changed,
Would the leaves hang on a little longer?
Would they never fall, would they stay and stay the same?
Do you feel alive in an angry sea?
Like a raging bull, as it starts to bleed
As it drips down in your eyes, do you feel free?
Chorus

Same Sad Song
03:21
|
|||
|
You insulted all of my degrees
You go walking down in 2’s and 3’s
You complicate things with your simplicity
And it’s the same sad song
I didn’t know it was me
You pick the fruit right up off the vine
You stomp and fuss until you make your wine
I know there’s no more talking to you this time
But it’s the same sad song
I didn’t know it was mine
Is this you?
Is this you I see sitting alone in your lonely tree?
Is this you?
Is this you I see sitting alone with me?
You edge your way right past me through the door
You leave the apple but you eat the core
I’d help you up but you can’t find the floor
It’s just the same sad song
And I want more

Caught Fire
04:08
|
|||
|
We were sick
Were on the mend
Then we got back together
To build this barbed wire fence
And then we crashed the car
Through a break in the hedge
There was something in the coffee that just turned my head
I felt the touch
You felt the same
Then we grabbed the wrong jackets
From the coat check claim
And we tried to bring them back
But we were both ashamed
So we burned all the evidence and quit the game
And we caught fire
And fanned the flames
We tried, and we’re both to blame
Sometimes a lie is just a name
For the loss of a love that you can’t explain
Sometimes we hurt so we can see what’s right
To feel the love we make, we gotta learn how to fight
But like the stars in the darkest night
You can’t really see them in the pale blue sky

Brooklyn Darlin'
02:49
|
|||
|
Every time I walk in to your door
Oooh we baby, I’ve seen that face before
Take my by the hand baby, take me to your shore
Show me what you used to be, I want a little more
Chorus:
Brooklyn, darlin’, you could be my wife
The stones bleed honey every time you cry
Brooklyn darlin’, my heart you stole
I love you just as much as my old time rock n’ roll
When I met you for the first time,
I was lookin’ for the gold
Like a miner-forty-niner,
Prospecting in your soul
But shining in the darkness,
I saw a glimmer in your eye,
I knew right then, there was no gold,
But diamonds in your mine
Chorus
Bridge:
Oh, my heart, I’m on the mend
Don’t take too long, Don’t take too long
Chorus

Till You Say Goodbye
04:37
|
|||
|
Take a walk in the rain,
Sharpen your aim and then shine
A light on the road
And carry home to the fire
It hurts you to heal him,
Hurts you to hear him every time
You hold out for something
You reach out for nothing and then cry
Till you say goodbye
He’s the dress on your shoulder
That hangs a bit lower than you like
But you’re nervous as hell,
Nervous as hell for the light
So you hide in your jacket
Away from the cemetery song
You hold out for something
And you reach out for nothing and it’s gone
Till you say goodbye
Do you hold him close?
Tipping toes.
Do you let him go?
Do you let him go?
Will you hold out forever
For that old piece of leather
And a star?
Till you say goodbye

I'm Going Home
04:17
|
|||
|
Naked as the sun
Burning in your eye
Take it as it comes
Take it as a sign
Tell another joke
Laugh another lie
Sentimental soul
December on the rise
I’m going home
You roughed me pretty good
Without even a fight
On California time
On a makeshift flight
I see those ribbons there
Match the colour of your eyes
I’ll give them back to you
If you try to make it right
I’m going home
Crying ain’t your style
You keep it on the shelf
You keep the cupboard closed
You keep the fool to yourself
I want to let you know
I want to let you see
Nothing left to show
Nothing left to be
I’m going home

This Ain't the Opera
04:09
|
|||
|
This ain’t the opera,
This ain’t the well that you fell in
This ain’t your candle blowin’ out
This ain’t you cashin’ in my sins
It’s just oh, oh, oh, my God.
Honey won’t you come back home.
On this night of forgiveness
The lighthouse, it tolls
It thunders through darkness
Sets fire to the cold
I ache as I blunder
Through the words that you wrote
I know I deserve this
But I know you were wrong
These stitches are seething
These buckets are full
These old mangled footprints
They walk through the floor
I don’t understand you
But I know how you feel
And if love were that easy
I’d just let you leave

She Was There for Me
03:15
|
|||
|
I’ve been waiting alone
For my ship to come in
I hope she’s willing to take me
In the shape I’m in
Goodbye my lonely life
I never look when I roll the dice
I came to dinner with no appetite
But she was there for me
Don’t blow it out Baby,
Let it burn, down, down
Hot wax doesn’t settle
Till it hits the ground
Chorus
Kept comin’ up empty
But I paid my dues
It’s not what you ain’t winning,
But what you don’t lose
Chorus

Give Up & Go
03:16
|
|||
|
If lovin’ you is just a dream
Then don’t ever wake me
I’ll go down to the Catskills and talk to Hudson’s men
And drink so much moonshine I won’t ever wake again
And sleep forever dreaming of your eyes, because I can
If lovin’ you is just a lie
A story too hard to believe
Then I’ll walk out from the wings and say, “all the world’s a stage”
My part will be the lover, but I’ll sound just like a sage
And when the clapping’s over I’ll crawl back into my cage
Chorus:
Before you give up and go
I’ll take you baby to the coast
And when we get there, I’ll toast
All the pretty things that lovin’ you would know
We’ll jump right in, I’ll never let you go
If lovin’ you is just a wont
A habit we have come to be
These bare walls and curtain calls we’ll paint the evening through
And everyday another thing I’ll find for me to lose
And nothing will remain but signs of me and you
Chorus

Stockholm
04:17

|
Captor or the prisoner
Either way, you’ll always learn
Scatter all the ashes when it’s burned
Nothing left to verify
Everything is simplified
Just put it in your hands
And blow with the wind
They’ll surround you
They’ll surround you
Take the long way down
Take the long way down
They’ll surround you
They’ll surround you
Take the long way down
Take the long way down
A hunger never satisfied
Becomes another sacrifice
Hiding in these dark and lonely hills
You’re the one who took us here
Something lost is something shared
A battle scar, a silent, shaken will

Sweet Loraine
03:02

If there’s no rest for the wicked,
How come he’s still asleep?
As you sit up in your bed
Wondering what they’re gonna see.
Powder on your cheek
Cover of the week)
He says, “tell another story Darlin’”
See what they’ll believe
You’re the talk of the town now.
You’re the talk of the town now.
You’re the talk of the town now.
Sweet Loraine.
Calendars and the little ones
Keep the walls from closing in
Pretty little lies
Keep the silence strong within
You want so much to leave
Afraid to be a theif
You’re all alone, now Darlin’,
You’ve got nothing but your feet

Marigold
03:23
|
|||
|
I’m feeling heavy from the weight of the ocean
She’s still standing on the edge of commotion
And you’re still sittin’ there
On the corner of your chair
Chorus:
Marigold
There she goes again
Marigold
Your only friend
There’s nothing on my mind but I’m lost at sea
And it’s a lot rougher than I thought it would be
And you’re still on the beach
And I’m still out of reach
Chorus
You’re still on the beach
And I know I’m out of reach
Chorus

When Love Lets You Down
03:57
|
|||
|
You call out a name
When you feel so alone
Makes you feel
Makes you feel so good
Echoes a time
Now so far away
The thought breaks your heart
From it’s delicate cage
All your life
You feel so scared
Don’t give up
When love lets you down
Lets you down
Lets you down
Lets you down
Don’t waste your time
Counting your tears
That slip through the cracks
In the ground
You can’t blame a heart
Longing in love
Left all alone
Paints a picture in the dark
