Before You Leave Town
03:14
|
|||
|
Pull in on empty on a long summer night
Cicada serenade beneath honeysuckle moonlight
Dew on my windshield and wind in my face
You won't see me looking back for evidence of disgrace
Candlelight casts so far... Shadows dancing, so dark
On any given day, I can be caught in between
The retrospect of your memories and this dream
Going through phases, the man in the moon's demise
A fall from grace playing out right in front of our eyes
Candlelight casts so far... Shadows dancing, so dark
Making molehills into mountains
Dragging that old horse around
Oh, that indifferent blank stare
Just pay your debts before you leave town
We've all been knocked down
But you're dragging that old horse around
So just act like you care
And pay your debts before you leave town
Before you leave town
Before you leave town
Before you leave town

So. 11th Street

We're taking our time
Shuffling along in the midday heat
No rest for the weary
And we've seen it all on South Eleventh Street
The houses were nice
Oh, maybe fifty years ago
But don't think twice
'Cause all of those people are dead and gone
Oh yeah
Just now, we're taking it all in stride
With nowhere to go, and no place to hide
And do you blame them for mistrusting every face that they meet?
I don't because we live on South Eleventh Street
Just living life
It gets so hard in the day to day
The cost of groceries
Brother, it takes every penny saved
Oh yeah
Just now, we're taking it all in stride
With nowhere to go, and no place to hide
And do you blame them for mistrusting every face that they meet?
I don't because we live on South Eleventh Street
And do you blame them for mistrusting every face that they meet?
I don't because we live on South Eleventh Street
And do you blame them for mistrusting every face that they meet?

Silver Dollar
04:58
|
|||
|
They're closing everything down, first the stores, and then the bars
They boarded up the churches, sold the land, and lit their fine cigars
But untraveled dirt roads still kick up a lot of dust
When you're living in a town that has just given up and gone bust
As mine has...
And I'd bet my last silver dollar that nobody even cares
And there's nothing left to say because it's over
I don't even know what I was doing here anyway
Living above my means, above my head, above my grade
Do you know what it means being in a place where you don't belong
'Cause even when you're not alone the emptiness goes on and on
As mine has...
And I'd bet my last silver dollar that nobody even cares
And there's nothing left to say because it's over
Leaving this town, no need for goodbye, there's no one to tell
Living this life, it's been so hard, and lately it's been hell
Empty homes, and empty souls, is this the American dream?
We stood by, and watched it die, and now it's all drifted downstream
But not for me...
And I'd bet my last silver dollar that nobody even cares
And it's really such a shame because it's over
The streets are empty, and the bells are quiet, and all the rugs threadbare
And there's nothing left for me because it's over

For the Memories
03:58
|
|||
|
I must admit it
I never meant to come back to this place
You must be surprised to see my face
But don't go thinking I came to see the way you are today
My old eyes just want to see this old place
And I just came back for the memories
No, I can't let them go
They're in my heart
They're in my heart
They're in my heart
They're in my heart
Oh I remember
Standing in the shallows of the stream
A thousand years ago or so it seems
Do you remember the day that you said those things to me?
I keep them close under lock and key
And I just came back for the memories
No, I can't let them go
They're in my heart
They're in my heart
They're in my heart
They're in my heart

Meant to Be
04:10

I met her in May
I think it was a Tuesday
And I lost myself when I looked in her eyes
Then everything I need
Was right there in front of me
And I knew I'd love her for the rest of my life
Sometimes it seems that life gives you love and light
'Cause I'd found a thing that I know was so right
I gave her my heart so free
I don't give it easily
But I've always been told
Some things are meant to be
The air is sweet
And soft the grass beneath your feet
Turns dry and brown with the passing of time
I met her in May
She left on a Saturday
Taking only with her my heart and my mind
Most times it seems that life is one long goodbye
Oh the faces and names, they're changing all of the time
Oh enjoy the garden so green
It dies eventually
I've known all along
Some things are meant to be
Enjoy your garden so green
Because it dies eventually
But we've known all along
Some things are meant to be

The Beggars' Feast
05:21
|
|||
|
Raise a toast to the millions that thirst
In a dry land where the cloud never bursts
Hello mirror, hypocrisy is thy name
Many that have, many more that have not
And many ungrateful for the things that they've got
And getting even more's become just a game
Oh let us in, we've kept out too long
Let us make right the things that are wrong
And maybe history will remember us well
Can you see the disease, or feel the pain
Of the hungry children simply in need of grain?
Do you even care? Because I can't tell
Can't you see that we're starved nearly to death?
And men speak desperation with every breath
Do you know the types of things desperate men do?
So I suggest you lock down, and lock it down tight
Desperate people are out there tonight
It's nothing personal, we do what we gotta do
Pray let us dine and don't spare the wine
We'll share in your increase
Open the doors, empty the drawers
Call it the beggars' feast
Over the walls, we'll take it all
Surrender all of your means
Soon come the light,but we have the night
Call it the beggars' feast
To banquet we come, for all or none
Do unto us as the least
Now we are strong, we've been hungry too long
Call it the beggars' feast
Pray let us dine and don't spare the wine
Until the pantries are fleeced
Fill up the board, and then bring some more
Call it the beggars' feast

Sunday Night Blues
03:49
|
|||
|
We all say Friday night's okay
With a guitar in my hands
And in my home on Saturday
I make my own plan
On the Lord's Day I bow and pray
I try to find some rest
But I dismay, the hours slipping away
It gets me down I must confess
Morning's on the way, and tomorrow's a working day
I keep on working 'cause the bills are due
I get the Sunday night blues, Sunday night blues
I get up early every day
And I enter the race
There's a thousand cars along the way
All going the same place
And their story's the same, they're all playing the same game
They keep on working 'cause their bills are due
They get the Sunday night blues, Sunday night blues
Morning's on the way, and tomorrow's a working day
I keep on working 'cause the bills are due
I get the Sunday night blues, Sunday night blues
Sunday night blues

Another World
04:40

Who are these people?
I don't know them anymore
I see them along the streets
But they don't look the same as before
And I know this much for certain
I can see that the world has changed
Am I the only who stayed the same?
Everywhere, the faces the strangers
And their names will never be known
Now I see how small my world is
And that I'm alone
But I know this much for certain
I can see that the world has changed
Am I the only one that's stayed the same?
But now I'm living in another world
No, it ain't like yesterday
Leaves me not knowing what to say
I sit and I write my music
I pour my heart into these songs
But I know that no one's listening
Guess I've known it all along
And I know this much for certain
I can see that the world has changed
I'm the only who stayed the same
'Cause now I'm living in another world
And I just can't find my way
Feels like it's all just gone astray
Oh now I'm living in another world
No, it ain't like yesterday
I seem to struggle every day
'Cause I'm living in another world
No, it ain't like yesterday
Leaves me not knowing what to say
Oh now I'm living in another world
Oh help me find my way
Looking for a path through this decay
Through this decay
Through this decay
Through this decay
Through this decay

Lonely
04:32
|

Sometimes I get so lonely
Just sitting 'round here
And sometimes I am the only
Poor fool that is near
And oh, what good to tell you
What been on my mind?
I don't want to waste your time
It's just that I've been wondering
If you are lonely too?
Have you been as blue...
…As I have been?
I tell you now, Lord, I think it's a sin
'Cause everyone needs someone
That will love only them
And oh, what good to tell you
What's been on my mind?
I don't want to waste your time
It's just that I've been wondering
If you are lonely too?
Have you been as blue?
Shut down, will there be others?
You know there's many in the sea
But everyone needs someone
And there ain't no one for me
And oh, what good to tell you
What's been on my mind?
I don't want to waste my time
It's just that I've been wondering
If you are lonely too?

The Pendulum
04:25
|
|||
|
What were you saying?
No, I didn't hear a thing
They way we're swaying
Yeah, it makes my head ring
The news I'm hearing
Oh, it makes me unwell
Crying in my coffee at
The broken arms hotel
It costs so much
The price so have to pay
You're living hard for today
But what of tomorrow?
'Cause day flows into day
There's always a debt to repay
That's the swinging of the pendulum
That's the rhythm and the beating of your heart
Don't you lose the equilibrium
Or you'll never find your way back to the start
It seems to me that things
Are all the same in the end
Don't know if that's true
But it seems like a place to begin
Extreme, and to one side
Then we rebound the other way
If we go out too far
We'll lose another day
It costs so much
Each period surely counts
I don't have time for these doubts
I'm just here guessing
And trying to estimate
If I can afford to be late
That's the swinging of the pendulum
That's the rhythm and the beating of your heart
Don't you lose the equilibrium
Or you'll never find your way back to the start
Back to the start

So you caught me in between
A memory and a dream
A sight to take me back
But now in retrospect
It always seemed so misplaced
Yet never out of place
It's comical to say the least
Well, if that's what you really mean
At least I gave my all
I'll rise or I will fall
And it took time to realize
I'm not out here alone
So I'll stay and I'll keep my eye
Upon the western sky
Transfixed by the glow
Forgetting what I know
It's always out of focus
I can't see the magnum opus
So I'll stay and I'll keep my eye
Upon the western sky
Transfixed by the glow
Forgetting what I know
It's always out of focus
I can't see the magnum opus
It's always out of focus
I can't see the magnum opus
It's always out of focus
I can't see the magnum opus

Fountains of the Deep
09:35
|
|||
|
Oh, the Ancient of Days saw the evil of man
And it repented him that He made them
He said the end of flesh is come before me now
For their corruption, and their violence
And it grieved him in his heart
Oh, how it grieved him in his heart
To break the world all apart
The work of his hands
His work of art
But just one man found grace in his eyes
Just this one man is set aside
With wife and sons and wives of their own
An ark to save them
Both flesh and bone
So when the door closes tight
Right behind you and you're lock in
Not every prison is grievous
To be held within
Secure enough to sleep
Amidst the fountains of the deep
Oh, the deep burst forth and the rains came down
Yes, the windows were all opened
Oh, the waters and all men fled
But where on earth could they run to?
And it grieved him in his heart
Oh how it grieved him in his heart
Don't you know that he heard their cries?
Yes, he saw them as they died
Now just eight souls, a remnant saved
To fill again a world remade
A promise signed by a bow in the sky
Because next time it will be fire
So when the door closes tight
Right behind you and you're lock in
Not every prison is grievous
To be held within
Secure enough to sleep
Amidst the fountains of the deep
