Lyrics:

I met a man late downtown the rain was softly falling down over me He said I believe in Jesus Christ but I still don’t know my wrongs from my rights in this lonely life, this lonely lives not worth living at all. Not worth living at all. So I gave him my last cigarette and said. I said this world ain’t seen the best of you yet. I’ve had my friends and had my foes, I’ve cut some corners and god only knows I’ve tried my best. I’ve tried my best. I’ve loved and lost and paid the cost, I’ve faced my fears but still im lost in this lonely night, this lonely night when I went home without you, oh I went home without you. Then I rang you on the telephone and left a message at the tone, I said this world ain’t seen the best of you yet. I said this world ain’t seen the best of you yet. When I got home and sat alone the darkness really set the tone over me. I know I know its hard to tell, things are fine when I feel like hell in this lonely light, this lonely light that’s fading without you, oh its fading without you. And so I rang you on the telephone and left a message at the tone. I said this world ain’t seen the best of you yet. I said this world ain’t seen the best of you yet. I said this world ain’t seen the best of you, world ain’t seen the best of you, world ain’t seen the best of you yet. When the world it brings you down. Keep your head up high and your feet on the ground.

Lyrics:

So if I, took your hand as parades passed us by, would it be in my head? Is it all in my head? All in my head. And if you, let me go as the marching band tune slowly fades to the night, is it all in my head? All in my head. Cause even if you don’t follow now I will wait until you do. And even if, you’re scared to somehow I will wait for you. I will wait for you. Or if we took ourselves to the end of the street, you and I side by side. Is it all in my head? All In my head. It’s nice to think of you this way, here at the end of the day. Cause even if you don’t follow now I will wait until you do. And even if, you’re scared to somehow I will wait for you. I will wait for you. Years from now when I forget your name, can we agree to blame it all on rumors of the rain? You saw the wake on the day we met it seemed you’d had it figured out, but I just hadn’t yet. We'll pass into the swells, the brightest tide can't save this now. Even though you won’t follow now, It’s fair to say I knew. When I was scared, I knew that somehow I would have to break from you. we would turn just to move.

Lyrics:

I was under the impression Things would be much better If I could let this go Winter's around the corner And I can feel this darkness It's calling me back home Light fades over the dead sea And all this love you gave to me Maybe I was blind Another morning with a heavy heart This lost soul dancing in the dark You're but a stranger in my mind So maybe I was hopeless, maybe we were done Maybe this was over from the start But how do we know So maybe I was hopeless, maybe we were done Maybe this was over from the start But how do we know Oh how do we know So tell me that you loved me Tell me that you cared Tell me you'll leave flowers, for me when I'm dead Tell me that you loved me Tell me that you cared Tell me you'll leave flowers, for me when I'm dead Tell me that you loved me Tell me that you cared Tell me you'll leave flowers, for me when I'm dead

Lyrics:

I woke up late last night Alone as I could be Searching for my Shady Grove She was not next to me Walked along these moonlit streets Searched them up and down Came upon old William’s house The bedroom light was one Shady Grove, my little love Shady Grove I say Shady Grove, my little love I’m bound to go away My heart it pounded through my chest Not knowing what I’d find Could it be old William Bell Was lying with my wife Crept along his gravel drive Crawled through his front yard Looked and saw my Shady Grove Wrapped up in his arms I jumped and turned around Through his door I run Back into his bedroom It was there I drew my gun I shot once, and he shot twice My shot hit his side His first shot made sure I fell The second, sure I died “Lord oh Lord have mercy on me” Cried little Shady Grove “Lord have mercy on these men, Both whom I do love”

Lyrics:

It;s easy to fall in love but you don't know, how to get it out of you. We're lovers on the moon It's easy to fight gravity but you don't know you are floating away We are lovers on the moon our love is on the moon.

Lyrics:

Tears fall down Like drops of rain Dreams cascade The lady waits At the break of day You fade away Birds of prey Please you'll stay Black heart on the wire Cheshire moon Glass wings and mysteries Breaking into Change in the seasons What does this mean? Mountains and reasons La la la la Black heart on the wire Cheshire moon Glass wings and mysteries Breaking into Change in the seasons What does this mean? Mountains and reasons La la la la Please live through Trapped in my mind own room Lips of grey shed color shades

Lyrics:

No matter what I do, I know you’re keeping tabs Everything I say goes into that mental notebook you have And I don’t think it’s fair, but I don’t have a choice Oh, it’s just the way my cards keep fallin’ And if I were to go, I know you’d be upset But everything I am can be purchased or created again And I don’t think it’s fair, I’m so easily replaced But it’s just the way I’ve been evolving (chorus) Give me ten million more years I’ll grow scales and claws and steel jaws Watch my weak heart disappear We’ll go excavating for my fossil tears Take it down a notch, with you it’s hard to breath Every time we talk I’m always disagreeing to agree And I don’t think it’s fair, but that’s the way it is Oh, it’s just the way my cards keep fallin’ If I were to go, I know you’d be upset I know how I made you feel in bed and you’d want it again And I don’t think it’s fair, but that’s the way we live Oh it’s just the way I’ve been evolving

Lyrics:

I don’t want love that’s old fashioned I want a modern romance x2 Don’t want no courting suitors knocking at my door Don’t want no Romeo to make me wonder wherefore (wherefore…) I want you to love me, honey, and move in with me Save up a little money, find ourselves a place by the sea (the sea…) I ain’t got the time to be wined and dined I'm tired of lovin' you in ol' black and white Not saying we oughta get married or settle down But we’ve got a good thing going, why mess it up now? Why make the same decisions our parents made? These times they are a-changing, let’s make our own mistakes (mistakes…) Who’s got the time nowadays? Let’s bring our love into the modern age ?I don’t want love that’s old fashioned I want a modern romance I don’t want love that’s old fashioned I want a modern romance (romance…)

Lyrics:

Jealous they make me, the sinners and saints. They pray to their gods in their gardens of shame. And worthless the season that bears no good fruit. So truthless, so used, so passed over, nude. Naked on the baked clay of the desert. Chasing pleasures, chasing pain. It's all the same when you can't find your way. No excuses nor pardons, nor saving of face. Beauty is ugliest in the shadows of grace. Naked on the baked clay of the desert. All the trains on their tracks, they're teaching a lesson. Keep your foot off the tracks, let the wheels within wheels go round. Let it take you under the river and across the top of the city. Cross the bridge that God has built out of iron & water. Naked on the baked clay of the desert. So, foolish I follow on Jesus' narrow maze. I'm looking for water to quench my thirst and wash my face, and hoping for a dancer to help me along my way. She'll teach me how to help her without getting in my way. I'm thinking that I'd really like to see her now, naked on the baked clay of the desert. Take all my clothes off! Wash me in the water! Soon will come the wintertime and I'll be on my knees, begging for a blanket or a dream. And while the fall's still warm & crisp I'm dancing in the streets spending all my days on everyone. Lately I've been thinking about Jesus and his cross, the way it seems I'm living with these feelings. Everything so vivid, everything so good. Everything is so fucked up and painful. Bury me in my grave, I know I'm already dead, but I want my pain! I want my pain! Living in the world feels just the same, my spirit's joy is in my pain! I want my pain! That's the way. Who knows what this smile is for? It serves me just the same. Blooms from something beautiful. Now everyone around me is within their little worlds. Everyone within me is around me all the time. And I believe it's perfect 'cause it's so pitiful it's pure -- everyone around me singing "beautiful." Hearing all them singers singing all their songs, their voices light my way and make it simpler. Bury me in my grave, I know I'm already dead, but I want my pain! I want my pain! Living in the world feels just the same, my spirit's joy is in my pain! I want my pain! That's the way.

Lyrics:

It drains down low, so try and find a way through this hole To give some love requires any hatred to flow Follow where those hopes and dreams go Forward and backward till there’s no return It’s a turn-on, but it’s hollow Baby, it don’t pay at all Hopped up on coke with no raincoat For worse, for better… You know there’s a reason It’s a turn-on, but it’s hollow Baby, it don’t pay at all Soon you’ll be wondering one day… What is it for? As soon as you want more

Lyrics:

Red wine and sunshine has got me feeling nice I know it’s Sunday and I am okay with taking my own advice Conversation’s getting blurred I put my head into my hands ... all I know is this not so ... The whole world is coming undone but don’t to tie yourself a little bun ... (incomprehensible) I know it’s Sunday and I am okay with taking my own advice
