So my sister and I left Louisiana Where the moon on the Mississippi is a-shining ever, Like you always hear in the songs of Dixie. We look forward to our home-coming ???? And the sooner the better. ANNA II And the sooner the better! ANNA I It's a month already since we started For the great big cities where you go to make money. In seven years our fortune will be made And then we can go back. ANNA II In six years would be much nicer. ANNA I Our Mom and Dad and both our brothers wait in old Louisiana And we'll send them all our money as we make it, For all the money's got to go to build a little house Down by the Mississippi in Louisiana. Right, Anna ? ANNA II Yes, Anna. ANNA I She's the one with the looks, I'm realistic; She's just a little mad, my head is on straight. But we're really one divided being Even though you see two of us And both of us are Anna, Together we've but a single past, a single future, One heart and one savings account, And we only do what's best for one another. Right, Anna ? ANNA II Yes, Anna. |

It is safe to sleep alone
In a place no one knows And to seek life under stones In a place water flows. It is best to find in sleep The missing pieces that you lost Best that you refuse to weep Ash to ash, dust to dust. It is strange to sleep alone In a place no one knows Strange to shelter under stones In a place water flows. It is safe to walk with me Where you can read the sky and stars, Safe to walk upon the sea In my sleep we can go far. It is safe to sleep alone In a place no one knows And to shelter under stones In a place water flows. It is strange to sleep alone In a place no one goes, Strange to seek life under stones. In my sleep no one knows. |

It's getting dark outside
Daytime is done. The lights along the river come up One by one. Let's make love again We got time. I am yours You are mine. It's getting dark outside I have to go. Don't want my husband Or my friends to know. Zip up my dress ... I can't find my shoes. Don't fall in love with me Too much to lose. The kids are home by now Have to think fast. I really think this afternoon Must be the last. Don't say anything, Don't turn on the light. Thanks for loving me, Call you tonight. |

She lives alone with no one
Who can see she's unhappy. She knows what she lost, Still she is waiting for more. She could be living in hell And not know someone loves her. What can she do, What is she waiting for ? The day turns to night He just can't find the right words to tell her Twisting and turning and looking for Something to say. If you would let me hold you I wouldn't walk away That's what he wants, That's what he wants to say. What can she lose, What is she waiting for ? He knows when she cries And he saw through the lies that she told him. She's dreaming and planning Of how she could ask him to stay. If you would let me love you, I wouldn't be the same. Please can we try, Please can we try again ? |

Things are never what they seem
Play a part most of the time. What is yours cannot be mine And I'm bored by dreams. Bored by dreams. I can't say the words I mean Make myself go through the line. Does the payment fit the crime If I'm bored by dreams ? Take me through the steps my love, Shall we dance again ? I was older then, Now we are the same. Lasse des raves. Rave qui brille dans le noir Brillera bien, tu peux le croire. Toujours dire la v |

You know I see you when you're sleeping
When you're all insane with dreaming. I can tell you that you been fighting, baby, But you been losing. You know there's clearer ways of thinking And there's quicker ways of dying But I'm a sucker for your drinking And now, I'm losing. I don't know who you think you're cheating Or with whom you have been sleeping, But all the shit that you've been eating Says you're losing. When I let my hate pervert me And there's no more tears for crying I'll just kill you if you hurt me, I'll kill you. You know I see you when you're sleeping, When you're all insane with dreaming. I can tell you that you been fighting, baby, Fighting hard and losing. Fighting hard ... and losing. Fighting hard ... fighting hard ... losing. |
