Lonely Night
03:31
|
|||
|
I wonder where you are tonight
and why I'm by myself,
sitting in this empty room
your photos on my shelf,
waiting rather pointlessly
for your knock at the door--
hoping you'll come back once more.
Your kisses are the sweetest thing
that I have ever know,
your love is the deepest kind
I ever have been shown
I feel your arms around me
like a ghostly memory--
How much longer will it be
til you're back here with me?
Pour another glass of whiskey
try to drink it slow,
read a page of poetry
by Edgar Allen Poe.
it's dark and it's gloomy
and it hits me oh so deep--
Maybe it's time to go to sleep.
But I stare at the ceiling
and try not to think of you,
or what you might be up to
or what you do with whom.
I drift into uneasy sleep
your absence on my mind
wondering in the morning what I'll find.
Will you still be mine?
Sun pours in my window
as I slowly blink awake
and see you there beside me
with a smile upon your face.
Your tired eyes look lovely
in the early morning light.
Suddenly, everything's alright
and I say, "tell me, love, how was your night?"

Can't Do It All
05:27
|

|
What have I done to deserve such wrong?
I've been waiting for you too long.
It's lonely here all by myself
but I can't see me with no one else.
The rain outside it cries cold tears
I'm drowning inside my greatest fears.
The bottle is empty beside my bed
but I can't seem to get you out of my head
And I----can't do it all.
No I----can't do it all.
You told me once you loved me so,
then you told me soon after you had to go.
You twisted my words into something new
and you made sure there was nothing I could do.
But I can't change how I feel.
No I----can't change how I feel.
Give me a thousand years of sleep
to soften the ache that runs so deep.
Lay me down in the shadowed pines
Or walk with me along old railway lines
But I can't hide---can't hide from this.
No I----can't hide from this.
What have I done to deserve such wrong?
I've been waiting, I've been waiting for you too long.
The memories inside, oh how they burn
How I wish, how I wish you would return.
But I----can't do it all.
No I---can't do it all.

Cry Heart
02:49
|

|
Cry heart, but never break
the weight that sits upon you now
will be gone when you wake.
Sleep so sweetly now lay down your weary soul.
Let go of every sorrow--
let go, let go.
This I promise you:
the sun will soon make way
the silver spark of starlight
will fade into a new day.
So cry heart, but never break.
The answers you are searching for
are the answers that you make.

Moon Dreams
06:04
|
|||
|
There's much to be said in the silent spaces between us
questions unasked, and answers we still haven't found
like starlight captured inside a small crystal bottle
we're dancing away on feet that can't touch the ground
The darkness of night hangs heavy around like a blanket
soothing away the ache of a long, painful day
we stretch out, entwine, our bodies finding each other
sometimes that's all you can do when there's nothing to say.
And I'm sorry for all the wrong I've done
and I'm sorry for all the pain I've caused
as heartache gets stronger just hold me longer
maybe tomorrow we'll know
where we should go
ooo oo oooo
The moon is hung low in the sky like a big silver dollar
you finish your whiskey, I sip from a bottle of wine
words flow between us in ribbons of sleepy molasses
I get up to go pretending that everything's fine
You taste like a day drenched in sunshine
like salt air and sweet morning dew
how could we know how close we'd grow?
I have no idea what it means
but I'll see you in my dreams
ooo oo oooo
ooo oo oooo
ooo oo oooo

Stones in the River
01:26
|
|||
|
I throw stones in the river and I watch them sink
all I'm thinking about is my next drink
I don't want to listen
I don't want to think
so I throw stones in the river and I watch them sink
I throw stones in the river and I watch them splash
Tryin'a hitch to Memphis cause I'm out of cash
I can't stand you near me
I'm gone in a flash
so I throw stones in the river and I watch them splash
I throw stones in the river to see if they'll float
I'm looking for a sign, for something she wrote
she told me not to worry
that I'd find my boat
I throw stones in the river to see if they'll float
I throw stones in the river almost every day
I get down on my knees and I start to pray
Lord, if you hear me, make them pay
I throw stones in the river almost every day
yeah I throw stones in the river almost every day

Magnetic Woman
02:59
|
|||
|
There's somethin' in the way your laugh lights up a room
and the twinkle in your eye when you are scheming things to do
you've always been a strong, stubborn, magnetic force
that causes those you meet to change their course
You like your whiskey best when it's straight from the bottle
shared with friends freely at the beach before a swim
and wherever you go creativity will follow
your music and your art comes from within
You're a tough, determined wo-o-o-o-o-o-man
no one tells you what to do, but if they do-o-o
you'll look 'em in the eye and with a smirk you'll kindly tell them
"No thank you, and by the way, fuck you"
Morning time means drinking coffee black and deep
'cause cream is for losers and sugar is too sweet
and you'll walk your dog with a skip and a song
happy to get out and greet the dawn
But evening's when you come alive with ten million thoughts
smoking cigarettes and doing handstands in the park
or maybe you'll ride your bike with a beer in your left hand
coming home at midnight caked in sand
You're a tough, magnetic wo-o-o-o-o-o-man
no one tells you what to do, but if they do-o-o
you'll roll up your sleeve just as calmly as can be
tell 'em it's time their face met your tattoo, that's what you'll do
'cause there ain't nobody out there tough as you

Where We Are
04:26
|

|
Sun goes down over this old town
star pierce through inky blue skies
and I watch the moon round and full
crest over the water and rise
I've been sitting here since late afternoon
I've watched the tide crawl and retreat
before that, I walked all over town
brick and concrete under my feet
Maybe it's time we hit the lonesome road
this town is great but it's not home
I'm looking for adventure
it's my latest endeavor
so let's go back, live without care
let's look for trouble everywhere
let's wish upon a falling star
walk for miles and end up where we are.
These city streets are mine late at night
dim under the pale moonlight
my feet might not know where to go
but my heart still loves you so
talk to me slowly like you do
let the words pour out of you
then watch me walk away out the door
it's hard to think straight anymore
Maybe it's time we hit the lonesome road
this town is great but it's not home
I'm looking for adventure
it's my latest endeavor
so let's go back, live without care
let's look for trouble everywhere
let's wish upon a falling star
walk for miles and end up where we are
where we are
where we are

Long Way Out
05:00
|
|||
|
Oh how long have I been standing here
waiting for a train that just won't come
sky black as night, rain coming in
I guess I'll just stick out my thumb
And it's a long way out where I'm going
I can't stay here in this town no more
I'm headed where the rain won't fall again
where nobody dares to knock at my door
The told me the life of a traveler
was paved in riches and gold
but I ain't seen nothing but worry and toil
and I ain't had no baby to call my own
And it's a long way out where I'm going
I can't stay here I'm destined to roam
I'm lookin' for a place where sadness dissipates
I am lookin' for a place to call my home
I'm dusty, bone weary, and helpless
I'm hungry, I've lost all my might
but even when I'm ruined I look to the sky
'cause those hopeful stars above are so bright
And it's a long way out where I'm going
I'm followin' that lonesome traveling road
I ain't giving up and I ain't going back
'cause this traveling life is all I've known

Early Sunday Morning
04:17
|
|||
|
It's cold outside my window
and I don't know what to do
I watch the snow fall
and I daydream of June
so many memories
mixed into a deep blue sky
and I can't remember
no matter how I try
ooo-oo-oo-oooo
The sky is clouding over
and this heavy heart won't do
I paint on a smile
that fools even you
there's very few who see me
the way I see myself
people only notice
themselves and no one else
ooo-oo-oo-oooo
I'm looking at the sunrise
through the cloudy sky
and I'm pretty sure I've never ever ever
ever been quite this high
and I'm watching as the world wakes
as steam pulls from the ground
it's early Sunday morning
and there's no one else around
no one around
ooo-oo-oo-oooo
it's early Sunday morning
and there's no one else around

Bike Shorts
02:35
|
|||
|
I'm the girl who wears bike shorts to a party
underneath my sparkly party dress
I'm the girl who wears bike shorts to a party
'cause you never know just what will happen next
I'm the girl who knows how to use a chainsaw
as terrifying as that thought may be
steel-toed boots are kinda sexy even though they aren't flex-y
but I hate it when I have to kill a tree
I'm the girl who feels awkward always
even though I hide it pretty well
I may seem kinda pretty but I still feel shitty
that confidence is so damn hard to sell
I'm the girl who laughs at all the wrong times
and panics when I realize that I do
I may seem put together but I'm actually a mess
at least no one seems to notice it but you
I'm the girl who stops traffic for turtles
I hate it when other people don't
turtles are kind creatures with prehistoric features
and I can't leave them to die in the road
And I'm the girl who has Michelle Obama arms
they're pretty fuckin' huge if I may say
I'm just a basic farm girl inside a city marm world
so these manly guns are surely here to stay
And I'm the girl who takes what life hands me
even when it's not what I expect
I'll fake it til I make it, opportunity I'll take it
and I'll laugh at my expense with all the rest
Because I'm the girl who wears bike shorts to parties
underneath my sparkly party dress
I'm the girl who wears bike shorts to parties
'cause you never know just what will happen next
