17 Feet

Rainbow trout in the middle of the lake
Darling we’ve been out what seems like days now
Wasted time
We saw the places you’d never been
Darlin’ we went out seems like way down
New Orleans
17 short feet
Heard the driver shout in the middle of the day
Darling we went out what seems like strange towns
Wasted time
We saw the races you’d never dream and
Darlin’ we went out what seems like way down
South of means
Live for each other for one more day
The swellest of seasons deep in Rhode Island
Leaves falling fast, too fast for the captain
Sailboats for sale boast men in their kingdom
17 feet and keeping my freedom
Driving up the sunset Cadillac Mountain
Places getting dark, too dark for the caption
Roller coaster waves, the coast way is to slow down
17 feet and keeping my freedom
We left the faces you’d never leave and
Darlin’ we went out what seems like days now
Wasted time

Misery
03:27
|
|||
|
Not as close as we used to be
Across the ocean, lost at sea
Do you miss the misery
Of my company
Unmasked charades in the summer time
Bike rides, roller blades in the summer time
Silent wedding prize in the summer time
Cold wind goodbyes in the summer time
Not as close as we used to be
A thousand miles, a million dreams
Love is all you know
Fear is how you grow
You grow

Rebecca

She writes on her arms to tell us we’re not alone
In this we have lost ourselves
So her mother follows suit with a painting on her back
A symbol of her stolen wedding bells
Her words, like roses, they bloom in the sun
She made the paper she told me what she done
Take me back to New York City
Take me back to Broadway and buildings
Where the lights burn out and our pictures fade
And our love was left unclaimed
She sings for her father who’s fallen into time
Her brother’s words are read aloud
So her mother follows suit with the poems of her own
There’s more for you than this simple little town
Her words like roses they bloom in the sun
When she made the paper she told me what she done
Take me back to New York City
Take me back to Broadway and buildings
Take me back to New York City

Into the Wild
02:56
|

|
Shaky moon
Windows rise
Rain falling down tonight
Sunday drive
Into the wild
Nowhere to run and hide
We’re alive
Into the wild we will go
Leaving home
Smile covers all
You are loved
See you in mourning
We are one

The Town
05:03
|

|
We played in the backyard where we stood tall
Carefree and innocent, our problems so small
The whole town’s dressed in their darkest
And flowers in their hair
The whole room falls to silence
As tears begin to dance
Your sister stands at the front
But I’m sure you can see her
I buried my brother today
But I’ll smile anyway
The whole town cried today
I played in the backyard where you stood tall
We watched each other grow old, I watched you grow small
The whole town was there
And the church doors opened in vein
We offer our condolences
To the soullessness, the hopelessness and pray
Your son stands at the front
But I’m sure you can see him
I buried my father today
But I’ll smile anyway
We sang hallelujah in the rain
The whole town cried today
I saw a grown man cry today
The whole town cried today
We sang hallelujah in the rain

Boxcar Boy

I read about you in the local news
The votes are in, you got your big boy shoes
Heard you stole your daddy’s gun and dropped it when you’re on the run
I wish I could have seen it all go down
Heard you said your name aloud and lost it in an open crowd
Everyone is laughing now
Everyone is laughing now
I saw you on the 10 o’clock, heard you’re living in the lock
Bet your making your mama proud
A victim of the civil block, a simple soul and living lost
What’s there left to say to me now
A boxcar boy and a deadbeat dad
Your best friend died, you never had a chance
We’re all modest in our very minds
We’re all honest in our very crimes
We’re all laughing at a different time
We’re all crashing with a different kind
I read they let you out one day and wished that you enjoyed your stay
I wonder what it’s like up on your cloud
Heard you’re just the same old man and shaking with the devil’s hand
Everyone is laughing now
Everyone is laughing now
If mom and dad they even cared, I bet you’d be alive to share
The stories that you’d tell my kids now
I heard they put you in a box and filled it full of dirt and rocks
Everyone ain’t laughing now
I was biting my tongue and biding time
Never said goodbye before the flat lines
I read about you in the local news
The votes are in, you got your big boy shoes

Vintage Love
02:01
|
|||
|
Birds in they sky
Days are flying by
Clouds on a sunny day
Shadows where the full moon plays
When the sun don’t shine upon your face
It’s just a waste of light
Bikes in the park
The tree where we left our mark
Drive in movie late at night
I’ll have her home before the light
When the sun don’t shine upon your face
It’s just a waste of light
There’s a sparrow on my neck for you
And a mourning dove
This is what they call vintage love

Broken Hearted Lover
03:30

Broken hearted lover won’t you stay with me
Wake you up tomorrow with some morning tea
Submarines and war machines and haunted dreams
I’m begging on my hands and knees
I cannot sleep tonight, knowing you’re not there
Darling when we’re older will you stay with me
Sleep in on the weekend, ain’t no face to be
King’s stories and late movies and lovely dreams
I’m begging on my hands and knees
I cannot sleep tonight, knowing you’re not there
I’m sorry if you look like you needed, needed the truth
You don’t really care when hearts they get broken
When hearts they get broken you’re gone
We don’t really share the parts that you hold on
The parts that you hold on so long
I don’t really find so much faith in singing
So much faith in singing no more
You don’t really care when hearts they get broken
When hearts they get broken you’re gone
Broken hearted lover won’t you stay with me
You left it all behind the best is never free
Submarines and war machines and haunted dreams
I’m begging on my hands and knees
I cannot sleep tonight, knowing you’re not there
I’m sorry if you look like you needed, needed the truth

Send Me No Flowers
03:42
|

|
I don’t raise no hammer
Don’t grind tooth and nail
Born to be riding, not working on the rail
No fence posts get painted
When you’re brushing your hair
My darling, you don’t lie when you care
Don’t send me no flowers, when I’m ten feet in the ground
You wore it your best when you were wearing that gown
To the river where my body drowned
Your love’s not around
I can’t raise up no mountains
When you’re rocking your chair
My darling you don’t sit where you stand
Don’t ask for forgiveness
When you’re lying in front of me
Put me in a casket
Send me in a dream
Your loves not around

Mountains of Stone
04:03
|
|||
|
I’ve been looking backwards for most of my life
Living faster, I’ve loved and I’ve lied
Now the grass is greener if you let it grow
Or so I’m told
I’ve been around the block a time or two
I saw a little lady and I lost my shoe
So I followed the wind til it blew
Me right back to you
Now I live at home in these mountains of stone
And giving my whole heart is all that I’ve known
It’s hard to build a caste when the water hits the sand
It’s hard to live alone when you’re living off the land
Take me to the front porch and cover all my clothes
I’ve been wearing much too long and this old shirt’s full of holes
But I’m on my way from nowhere till my heart
Is empty or full
It’s been a long time coming
Lay my head on the hanging tree
I found the lord
And the lord could not find me
I live a quiet life, a simple man they say
Don’t get out much I know, I’m an old man pale and grey
No one is my savior so I think
For now that I’ll stay
