I wish I had a blue guitar,
A blue guitar to play all night long. Singing songs of loss and love. Singing songs till morning comes. Ghosts in the basement Screams from the kitchen I tell you folks I'm leaving. Seems I can already hear the door slammin'. I tell you folks I think I'm leavin'. Goodbye to the highway Goodbye to the sky I'm headed out goodbye, goodbye. Goodbye to the highway Goodbye to the sky I'm headed our goodbye, goodbye. I wish I had a blue guitar, A blue guitar to play all night long. I wish I had a blue guitar, A blue guitar to let you know somehow You are not needed now. |

No one in sight for fifty miles
Sleeping fields sigh as I glide across their spines. If I can just reach the crest of that hill This whole day will tumble, out the night will spill. The sky as still as a spinning top Shooting stars drop like burning words from above If I could just connect all these dots The truth would tumble like a Cynic vexed by love. And yet people keep saying I'm miles from my home, Miles from my home. I met you again in my sleep last night, These are days of slow boats and false starts. Hearts remain under lock and key, You will be the one to set them both free. And yet people will tell you You're miles from your home, Miles from your home. But that's where I want to be. Out there searching, Out here fumbling, Out here waiting For you and you for me. The moon hangs like a question mark, Pale as milk, bold as promise. When will you share these sights with us? When will we hold you in our arms? And people will tell them We're miles from our home, Miles from our home. |

Sat at my window watched the world
Wake up this morning Purple sky slowly turning golden, Distant elms so orange You'd swear they're burning All this flowing water Has got my mind wandering. Do you ever finally reach A point of knowing Or do you just wake up one day And say, I am going? What will I tell you When you ask me why I'm crying Will I point above At the Red Tail gracefully soaring Or down below where it's prey Is quietly trembling? Two thousand years ago Jesus is left there hanging. Purple sky slowly turning golden. Cowards at his feet loudly laughing. Loved ones stumbling homeward Their words reeling. Red Tail above my head quietly soaring. Waters turn from ice, creak is roaring. He says, enough of all this shit I am going. |

She hugged his head so hard to her heart
it made her gasp for air If this was not the way Love felt then for love she did not care I want to run beside a moving train yelling farewells in the rain The tears will be bittersweet, 'cause I know I'll see him again If I lost you now, I would feel as hollow as a bone He could not help but hang his eyes her beauty held him so If this was not a state of Grace then Grace he'd never know I want to yell farewell from a crowded pier just me and a thousand good-byes The tears will be bittersweet, 'cause soon she'll be back my side If I lost you now, I would feel as hollow as a bone You won't lose me, he replied, together our lives have been sewn If I lost you now, I would feel as hollow as a bone We will kiss goodnight under a starlit sky whisper oaths at a lumbering moon dream sweet dreams before the morning comes and serves us the dawn in our room If I lost you now, I would feel as hollow as a bone |

Someone
Out there Kneeling. No one Out there Listening. But what I want to know Before you save my soul Is who gave this power to that fucker up there? Someone Out there Crying. Someone Out there Waiting. But what I want to know Before I let you go Is who gave this power to that fucker up there? |

Another note afloat upon this paper sea
Explain to me How this can be Another face erased From this tidal pool Found one day Then swept away I will carry you my love If you can carry me Through this summer of our discontent Another day away From clutching hands Explain to me How this can be I will carry you my love If you can carry me Through this summer of our discontent Another falling wave Upon this crumbling beach How many more Until we meet? I will carry you my love If you can carry me Through this summer of our discontent |

No birds today
Just this square patch of gray Molting sky moving in on its morning prey No words today No one knocking at the gate I lost my name long before I lost my way I wonder what he thinks out there Pastures turn from black to green and black again The sun it carves a well worn path from here to there and the next day back No birds today Just this dull sky of gray Winter's quickly moving in on its skulking prey No dust today No clouds rising from my driveway No hope drifting slowly my way I wonder what he thinks in there Pastures turn from black to green and black again The sun it carves a well worn path from here to there and the next day back Cold bars of steel I'm beginning to dig the feel of all that disappears into....ethereal Cold words of hate Now I'm seeing how things break Much too late now to cure my mistakes I wonder what he thinks in there Pastures turn from black to green and black again The sun it carves a well worn path from here to there and the next day back No birds today Just this barren stretch of gray Just this barren stretch of gray |

Place my body on the funeral pyre,
cut it loose to float downstream Leave it frozen on a mountain top, suspend it high to be picked clean You said never to grow old, but you forgot to tell me how You said never to grow old and then you sank your teeth into those final feet Last night I dreamt of owls at my window I knew that time was winding down Turned to tell you of my premonition, changed my mind and lay back down You said never to grow old, but you forgot to tell me how You said never to grow old and then you sank your teeth into those final feet No sense wasting the time you got, you got to walk down every road No sense pretending that you're what you're not, when you got to shoulder every load You said never to grow old, but you forgot to tell me how You said never to grow old and then you sank your teeth into those final feet Cut it loose, cut it loose, cut it loose You said never to grow old, but you forgot to tell me how You said never to grow old and then you sank your teeth into those final feet |
