She lifts her skirt up to her knees Walks through the garden rows with her barefeet, laughing I never learned to count my blessings I choose instead to dwell in my disasters. I walk on down the hill through grass grown tall and brown and still it's hard somehow to let go of my pain On past the busted back of this old and rusted Cadillac that sinks into this field collecting rain Will I always feel this way? So empty, so estranged. Of these cutthroat, busted sunsets These cold and damp, white mornings I've grown weary If through these cracked and dusty dimestore lips I spoke these words out loud No one would hear me. Lay your blouse across the chair Let fall the flowers from your hair and kiss me with that country mouth, so plain. Outside the rain is tapping on the leaves to me, it sounds like they're applauding us The quiet love we've made Will I always feel this way? So empty, so estranged. Well I looked my demons in the eyes Laid bare my chest said do your best and destroy me See I've been to hell and back so many times I must admit you kind of bore me There's a lot of things that can kill a man There's a lot of ways to die Yes and some already dead that walk beside you There's a lot of things I don't understand Why so many people lie Well it's the hurt I hide that fuels the fires inside me Will I always feel this way So empty, so estranged |

Such the lazy Jackstraw
Always late for tea Never bothers to ring lately Says the silly Sparrow 'There's gossip in the grain Have you heard the...Oh you don't say' 'Someday Someday A snow shall fill the trees You'd best make warm the eves' Grown callous is the old Crow He'd mock even the sun Eyes as black as blood Bone crack in the craw He'd say He'd say Always a 'Never mind' Always a 'Never mind' Truth be: The Beggar that holds his tongue Dines on none but air alone |

Papa's in the kitchen
Mama's in the field There's a murder in the hen house Mud flung high upon the wheels Ol' rooster in the dooryard He's just leanin' on the horn With the wind so sweetly driftin' Through the ripening corn Hey me, hey mama Where you been for so long, for so long? Hey me, hey mama Where you been, where you been for so long? There's something outrageous 'Bout that evening sky Just this side of dangerous That look in your eye I always knew that you were crazy Always knew you could be cruel Still, I would do just about anything In the world for you Hey me, hey mama Where you been for so long, for so long? Hey me, hey mama Where you been, where you been for so long? You left me standin' in the corner With my head so hangin' down Punch-drunk, busted up and reelin' Like a rodeo clown You always seem to hit me Like a lightnin' from above I guess I just wasn't ready for Such a heavy-handed love Hey me, hey mama Where you been for so long, for so long? Hey me, hey mama Where you been, where you been for so long? Hey me, hey mama Where you been for so long for so long? Hey me, hey mama Where you been, where you been for so long? |

There may come a time, a time in everyone's life
Where nothing seems to go your way, Where nothing seems to turn out right There may come a time, you just can't seem to find your place For every door you open, seems like you get two slammed in your face That's when you need someone, someone that you can call. And when all your faith is gone Feels like you cant go on Let it be me Let it be me If its a friend that you need Let it be me Let it be me Feels like you're always coming in last Pockets full of nothing, you got no cash No matter where you turn you ain't got no place to stand Reach out for something and they slap your hand Now I remember all too well Just how it feels to be all alone Feel like you'd give anything For just a little place you can call your own That's when you need someone, someone that you can call And when all your faith is gone Feels like you can't go on Let it be me Let it be me If it's a friend you need Let it be me Let it be me |

Plastered in your newspaper palace
Dishes and the backdoor slams The dogs on the floor They don't roam anymore And the rivers gone deaf at the dam The dust falls like rain on your doorsteps Chokes you when you lift your rake A wine so sweet is the taste of your mouth But your love aint the kind you can keep Oh roses and cigarettes Pillow case that remembers you the scent of you still lingers on my fingertips Till I think I might go insane When will I see you again Seen how you look at the stranger I see how you waite when he's gone If I told you I thought that there was a sin in your heart Could you honestly tell me I'm wrong Oh roses and cigarettes Pillowcase that remembers you the scent of you still lingers on my fingertips Till I think I might go insane When will I see you again He tells you that he needs you, he's a liar He tells you he's a hero, he's a fool He tells you he'll stay till the lords breaking day Then babe he ain't nothing but cruel Oh roses and cigarettes Pillowcase that remembers you the scent of you still lingers on my fingertips Till I think I might go insane When will I see you again |
