Amy Millan - Honey From The Tombs (2006) by Amy Millan (보컬) on maniadb.com

skinny boy, all bones no lies
you're so miserable in the mornings
will you will wait up for me?
it's sordid and I can't find my feet
and you've got lips I could spend a day with.

skinny boy, somewhere some prostitution.
some devour some doubt some dance.
they're coming with swords through the backdoor,
and there you are on the fence
with those lips I could spend a day with.

when it's done, i'll drink champagne to the lonely
lonely in me
monday, tuesday so lonely
wednesday, thursday only me
friday, saturday only me
here comes sunday…

Come along, Ruby
Where have you gone?
You've got eyes like the North Dakota sun
Got lips like an ocean and skin like the rain
Whole lot of whisky and wine and propane.

Took me to Nashville to sing with the band
And then you left me in Tulsa sleepin' in the van
A dollar and a daisy is all that you left
Lock up my heart and forget about the rest
Lock up my heart, forget about the rest

A year and a day is all that its been
My Ruby's still singin' and I'm drinkin' gin.
Lost all my money on the Saratoga track
Lost all my time hopin' you would come back
Lost all my time hopin' you would come back

Come along, Ruby
Where have you gone?
You've got eyes like the North Dakota sun
Got lips like an ocean and skin like the rain
I wonder if I'll ever see you again?

My heads all filled with memories
and yesterday is on her knees
I'm stuck inside the sleepy web
When I'm led into a deeper blue

There's cash stashed up in the hills
A flood of mud and dollar bills
I'm just looking for a piece of bread
When I'm led into a deeper blue

Melting under the brassy sun
Dusted and spangled all tangled and done
Melting under the brassy sun
Dusted and spangled all tangled and done

My heads all filled with memories
And tomorrow's dog is growling at me
I'm parked beside the murky ebb
When I'm led into a deeper blue

I have a hard hearted island
Where I live alone
I've seen my love grow big as a mountain
And scatter like ashes and bones
These things I have forgotten
Memory I've left behind
Something was always drifting away
So I'll stay
It may be the night it might be the morning
Never again will I weep
I've got the wind blowing beside me
And the water to sing me to sleep
That sky can do my crying
Seasons can have my goodbyes
The city can keep all its history
And leave me
I have been beat I'm not defeated
Not bitter not bound and not meek
When disappointed is a slow burning fire
Let it drown under the sound of my feet

I feel as blue as the blue in your eyes
I feel as old as the old man telling lies
I feel as lucky as a horseshoe on the door
But I don't think I can take this world no more
No I don't think I can take it anymore

Ain't it hard to keep your eyes closed sometimes
Ain't it hard to turn away
Ain't it hard to feel the sunshine sometimes
It feels just like another rainy day

I feel more burdened as the bourbon starts to seep
Hoping it will help me get to sleep
I feel as lonesome as the woman in the moon
Hoping that you'll be beside me soon
I'm hoping that you'll lie next to me soon.

It's too cold by the window
and too hot by the fire

The porch light is burnt out
and the sky looks tired

It's all wrong while your gone
It's all wrong while your gone

The bedroom is like a Monday and the phone is my only song

The nights a broken radio even the dogs face is long

It's all wrong while your gone
It's all wrong while your gone

Come home and the birds will bring you honey
Come home and flowers will bloom
Come home are you as lonesome
Come home soon


I can hear your wheels turn on the lonely highway
Ice kicked up in the February sun of the town Thunderbay

It's all wrong while your gone
It's all wrong while your gone

Come home and the birds will bring you honey
Come home and flowers will bloom
Come home are you as lonesome
Come home soon

East to west, north to south, blind in the pines of highway 69

Thirty loads in thirty nights, thirty cities and dirty dashboard days

It's all wrong while your gone
It's all wrong while your gone

Come home and the birds will bring you honey
Come home and flowers will bloom
Come home are you as lonesome
Come home soon
Come home soon
Come home soon

He brings out the whiskey in me
When it's later than night-time and all that's good is asleep
He brings out the whiskey in me

We were just thirteen years old
When my daddy's liquor cabinet
That was usually closed
Is where we found Canadian gold
When you're gettin over troubles around
When you're gettin over lovers that have let you down
When you're paying for the past It all don't seem so bad
When ice is ringing in your whiskey glass

I can hear the first morning train
It's quarter to dawn and the bottle's gone
Go to sleep before the sun gets strong
It's all wrong while your gone
It's all wrong while your gone
When you're gettin over troubles around
When you're gettin over lovers that have let you down
When you're paying for that past
it all don't seem so bad
when ice is ringing in your whiskey glass

He brings out the whiskey in me
When it's later than night-time
and all that's good is asleep
He brings out the whiskey in me

Man made moons they go on one by one
When the sun is done for the day
That's when the girls come by through the silver blinds
We'll watch the drinking lie on the pavement
That's our sentiment
Down by the railway the bicycles are there
An apocalyptic fair for the alive
It's a sign the messengers they bring
With their stainless steel wings on a 45
That plays our lullaby

Today I'm sinkin' lower than the sun does on a Sunday
And I look around
But you're nowhere and I don't know
If I can pick up, because when I wake up
You're still gone

And all the water in you is putting out the fire in me
And all the miles have no sympathy

Then tomorrow comes, and you're knocking at my door
And I forget it all
I forget that I spend every night thinkin' of your hands
Trying to make myself understand that I,
I will love you anyway

Yeah, I'll keep on lo-lo-lovin' you anyway
Yeah, I'll keep on lo-lo-lovin' you anyway

Today, I'm sinking lower than the sun does on a Sunday
And I look around
But you're nowhere, and I don't know
If I can pick up, because when I wake up
You're still gone

Yeah, I'll keep on lo-lo-lovin' you anyway
(Gone)
Yeah, I'll keep on lo-lo-lovin' you anyway
(Gone)

Blablabla and everyone be quiet
The machine has come between me and my love
It's hopeful but doubtful for tomorrow
so pour me up another before bed

Lady love has only seen me crying
and the nights have forgotten who I am
but singing is always easy when you're drinking
so pour me up another before bed

If you would take and embrace me in your arms
I would stay and dedicate my heart
watch you go when the day breaks
so pour me up another before bed
pour me up another before bed
