Mockingbird singing a tune
No one knows she's got the blues Humming alone, singing her song Like mockingbirds do Paying no mind to the ground Ain't nothing gonna bring her down It's just her and the sky She doesn't ask why, so why do you? Worry, ain't no need to worry She ain't in a hurry, no She's right where she needs to be Worry, ain't no need to worry, no, no She ain't in a hurry She's right where she needs to be For watching the world rolling by Taking her riddance on high Humming alone, singing her song She's doing fine |

She is benediction
She is addicted to thee She is the root connection She is connecting with he Here I go and I don't know why I fell so ceaselessly Could it be he's taking over me? I'm dancing barefoot Heading for a spin Some strange music draws me in Makes me come on like some heroine She is sublimation She is the essence of thee She is concentrating on he The chosen of she Here I go and I don't know why I spin so ceaselessly Could it be he's taking over me? I'm dancing barefoot Heading for a spin Some strange music draws me in Makes me come on like some heroine She is recreation She intoxicated by thee She has the slow sensation That he is levitating with she Here I go and I don't know why I spin so ceaselessly Did I lose my sense of gravity? I'm dancing barefoot In mid-air I spin Some strange music draws me in Makes me come on like some heroine Oh God, I fell for you Oh God, I fell for you Oh God, I fell for you Oh God, I fell for you |

I want some sugar in my bowl
I want a little sweetness down in my soul I could stand some lovin' Oh so bad Feel so lonely and I feel so sad I want a little steam on my clothes Maybe I could fix things up so they'll go Whatsa matter Daddy Come on, save my soul Drop a little sugar in my bowl I ain't foolin' Drop a little sugar in my bowl Well I want a little sugar in my bowl Well I want a little sweetness down in my soul You been acting strangely I've been told Move me daddy I want some sugar in my bowl I want a little steam on my clothes Maybe I can fix things up so they'll go Whatsa matter Daddy Come on save my soul Drop a little sugar in my bowl I ain't foolin Drop some sugar- yeah- in my bowl.

Go, leave, she's better than me
Or at least she is stronger She will make it last longer It's nice for you Go, leave, don't come back No more am I for the taking But I can't say that my heart's not aching It's breaking in two I remember days When we laughed a lot Those they weren't so good I soon forgot We could sit and talk till words Coming out our ears Not just for days or weeks or months But it's been years And here they come, here they come my tears So go, leave, you said goodbye But could it be you were stalling Hearts have a way of calling When they've been true |

Darling, remember
When you come to me I'm the pretender I?m not what I?m supposed to be But who could know if I'm a traitor? Time's the revelator They caught Katy And left me a mule to ride The fortune lady Came along, she walked beside But every word seemed to date her Time's the revelator, the revelator Up in the morning Up and on the ride Drive into Corning And all the spindles whine And everyday is getting straighter Time's the revelator Leaving the valley Fucking out of sight I?ll go back to Cali Where I can sleep out every night And watch the waves, and move the fader Time's the revelator, the revelator Queen of fakes and imitators Time's the revelator |

Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air And feather canyons everywhere I've looked at clouds that way But now they only block the sun They rain and snow on everyone So many things I would've done The clouds got in my way I've looked at clouds from both sides now From up and down and still somehow It's clouds illusions I recall I really don't know clouds at all Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels The dizzy dancing way you feel As every fairytale comes real I've looked at love that way But now it's just another show You leave them laughing when you go And if you care, don't let 'em know Don't give yourself away I've looked at love from both sides now From give and take and still somehow It's love's illusions I recall I really don't know love at all Tears and fears and feeling proud To say, "I love you", right out loud Dreams and schemes and circus crowds I've looked at life that way But now old friends are acting strange They shake their heads, they say I've changed Well, something's lost but something's gained In living every day I've looked at life from both sides now From win and lose and still somehow It's life's illusions I recall I really don't know life at all |

She never says a thing about a bad situation,
Some say that?s all she knows, She looks for the question to the answer of the prayer, She knows where she goes, Her worldly possessions could vanish without a trace, Just some dishes, some pans, some clothes, And so she?s turning the pages of an undying faith, She knows where she goes, Her window is open,the weather comes in, The door way ( missing word) as it blows, She stairs through her memories in the places she?s been, She knows where she goes, She?s so full of fire but she carries no torch, She (missing word) for those, And she can walk out the swing door and never leave the porch, She knows where she goes, She washes her hands in the cold dark water, Turning from something she knows, She longs to be free, but her reflection has got her, She knows where she goes; oh she knows where she goes |

Come all you broken hearted come
And lay your burden down Come kings and queens, come royalty Surrender up your crown Come empty handed, come with nothing Of your own to claim Come naked, poor, come like a child To ride the orphan train Come ride, ride on the orphan train Put your ear to the track, you can hear your name Come ride, ride on the orphan train It'll take you all the way home The way is narrow, it is steep That brings you to the door But love awaits there to embrace Your heart forevermore Come ride, ride on the orphan train Put your ear to the track, you can hear your name Come ride, ride on the orphan train It'll take you all the way home Come you abandoned, you forsaken Friendless and alone Come refugees left homesick for Some place you've never known Here princes, paupers, criminals And saints are all the same No more or less than God's beloved Child aboard this train Come ride, ride on the orphan train Put your ear to the track, you can hear your name Come ride, ride on the orphan train It'll take you all the way home Come ride, ride on the orphan train I put my ear to the track and I heard my name Come ride, ride on the orphan train It'll take us all the way home |

Has anyone seen him Don't you tell me He gave up on me I'm looking for blue eyes I've got to find him Cause something tells me He's looking for me There was a time when blue eyes said he'd love no other His one and only love he swore I'd be There was a time when his blue eyes saw clearer than mine did Storms and rain, tears and pain, bring me back his way Looking for blue eyes Has anyone seen him No don't you tell me He gave up on me I'm looking for blue eyes I've got to find him Cause something tells me He's looking for me I'm looking for blue eyes Has anyone seen him |

The masterpiece of me and you Our work of art has all but failed Nothing's here except the blues. Love's crumbling Love's tumbling down Love's crumbling Love's tumbling down.

The summer days are gone
Along with you they disappeared And left me here Just like the falling leaves I watched you turn and drift away Nothing stays Don't want to face the fall alone But it's your nature to move on. Is it cold in california Like I told you it would be Do you need someone to warm you Like I warmed you Is it cold in california Like it is in tennessee. Spent the holidays with a man Made out of snow ho ho ho Kept on building fires But they don't ease the chill Nothing will This has been the hardest time Winter has the longest nights. (repeat chorus) I'll count the days until the spring And hope it brings you back to me.

Sometimes in the mornings
I wake up devastated that you're gone It drives me kinda crazy And I tell myself it's been a little long To still be expecting you To call me up on the phone I don't like holding on But I can't let go. Sometimes a photograph of you Will take my breath away I don't think that time's a healer No matter what folks say How can years fly by so fast And breaks in a heart mend so slow I don't like holding on But I can't let go. Sometimes I'm in a room full of people When old lonely sits by me And it makes me sad to realize That unlike you he won't ever leave I wish I had some kind of pill To take this feeling from my bones I don't like holding on but I can't let go. 21:13, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:13, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:13, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:13, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:13, 6 April 2006 (PDT)~ |

In Nineteen and Double-Aught
A harlot who was hot to trot Gave a fine little bijoux to the world With a blacksmith for a makeshift doc In a cathouse far from Camelot Her goldmine brought to bear a baby girl When the child screamed from life's first slap The boss said "Kid get used to that You'll never meet a jake that isn't cruel" And she wrapped her babe in a petticoat Grabbed a bottle and made a toast Here's to my gorgeous bastard, Ruby Jewel And the man at the piano played a tune And everybody sang and danced in the saloon Except Ruby (Ruby) No not Ruby (Ruby) Ruby Jewel Reared among the guttersnipes While her mama puffed a Chinese pipe The salad days for Ruby didn't last Forced to work and pay her dues Inside that poor man's Moulin Rouge A snot-nosed kid had to grow up fast Night and day she toiled and sweat While brothel patrons placed their bets On who would be the first to break her in Then one night the madam screams "Ruby, get to room thirteen There's someone there who thinks you're quite a gem" And the man at the piano played a tune And everybody sang and danced in the saloon Except Ruby (Ruby) No not Ruby (Ruby) Ruby Jewel In done-up hair and a borrowed dress She climbed the stairs scared to death Said a prayer and tiptoed through the door But on deaf ears her prayer fell Cause through a tear she stared at hell Standing there in nothing but his drawers She recognized the whiskered chin Bloodshot eyes and foul-mouthed grin He was the man who wore the silver star She tried to turn around and run But he pulled out his big six gun And said "Hon you won't get very far" And the man at the piano played a tune And everybody sang and danced in the saloon Except Ruby (Ruby) No not Ruby (Ruby) Ruby Jewel Ruby Jewel woke up in bed A crimson pool between her legs Naked as the day that she was born But lying there next to him Made her wish she hadn't been If this was all that living had in store Making sure he was asleep She quietly got to her feet Found his gun and aimed it between his eyes She kept it there til he came to So he could stare down the barrel too Pulled the trigger once and watched him die And the man at the piano played a tune And everybody sang and danced in the saloon Except Ruby (Ruby) No not Ruby (Ruby) Ruby Jewel On a rainy night in 1912 Locked inside the town's new jail Ruby carved a message in the stone When morning came hacks lead her out In ankle chains right through the crowd Who waited in the mud to watch the show They walked her up the gallows steps And put the rope around her neck Dropped the trap as all the watchers cheered But on the wall of a cell In a tiny scrawl and mispelled Were the words "Ruby Jewel Was Here" And the man at the piano played a tune And everybody sang and danced in the saloon Except Ruby (Ruby) No not Ruby (Ruby) Ruby Jewel |

You can't get there from here
I can't live on bread and water You heard the one about the farmer's daughter She just needs a little atmosphere You don't pick your occupation I didn't ask for this frustration I need a life and a nice cold beer But you can't get there from here If I had time to think about it I'd build a castle in the yard For all the things I want so much Always something I can't touch But I guess that would be too hard You can't get there from here I can't live on bread and water You heard the one about the farmer's daughter She just needs a little atmosphere You don't pick your occupation I didn't ask for this frustration I need a life and a nice cold beer But you can't get there from here I'm on a road that's going nowhere Looking for a place that I belong The wind's pushing me in all directions But none of them look like home And you can't get there from here You can't live on bread and water You heard the one about the farmer's daughter She just needs a little atmosphere Every right track turns out wrong A different tune but the same old song I need a life and a nice cold beer But you can't get there from here No you can't get there from here |

How it feels when it shines And the stars could disguise The beauty the skies reveal Then the fire I try to hide in my heart Would remain out of sight Here with you in the dark Let's steal the sun Before tomorrow comes Daybreak might take this all away Let's be thieves And rob the east of morning's light Let's steal the sun Before it steals tonight Oh how I've missed Being kissed tenderly Lips so soft and sweet Touching my cheek like this What else can I do But choose to give in The only way I can lose Is if this feeling ends Let's steal the sun Before tomorrow comes Daybreak might take this all away Let's be thieves And rob the east of morning's light Let's steal the sun Before it steals tonight |

Hopping from moon to moon Higher than a kite's been before Made my way to mars, venus and neptune If I was scared of heights, I ain't no more.

I'd like to see the old Tombigbee. If you're going I'm going with you. Are you going to Alabama, Where the folks say how do you do? I'd like to see those big ol' cotton fields. If you're going I'm going too. I'm ready to run, baby, Through the sweet southern pines. Lie down in a bed of Camellia And watch the sun shine.

Sometimes in the mornings
I wake up devastated that you're gone It drives me kinda crazy And I tell myself it's been a little long To still be expecting you To call me up on the phone I don't like holding on But I can't let go. Sometimes a photograph of you Will take my breath away I don't think that time's a healer No matter what folks say How can years fly by so fast And breaks in a heart mend so slow I don't like holding on But I can't let go. Sometimes I'm in a room full of people When old lonely sits by me And it makes me sad to realize That unlike you he won't ever leave I wish I had some kind of pill To take this feeling from my bones I don't like holding on but I can't let go. 21:13, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:13, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:13, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:13, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:13, 6 April 2006 (PDT)~ |

If the moon could conceal
How it feels when it shines And the stars could disguise The beauty the skies reveal Then the fire I try to hide in my heart Would remain out of sight Here with you in the dark Let's steal the sun Before tomorrow comes Daybreak might take this all away Let's be thieves And rob the east of morning's light Let's steal the sun Before it steals tonight Oh how I've missed Being kissed tenderly Lips so soft and sweet Touching my cheek like this What else can I do But choose to give in The only way I can lose Is if this feeling ends Let's steal the sun Before tomorrow comes Daybreak might take this all away Let's be thieves And rob the east of morning's light Let's steal the sun Before it steals tonight |

Please don't bring me flowers Tied up in a pretty bow I'd trade a thousand roses For just one hand to hold And I don't want no candy Sugar hurts my teeth All I want is you tonight That'd be really sweet There's nothing at the five-and-dime That I really need Your kiss is the only gift That means a thing to me Bring me all your lovin' That's something you ain't tried Bring me all your lovin' And I'll be satisfied I don't want a poem Written fancy on a card I'd rather have "I love you" Scribbled on my heart And I won't wear a new dress From a downtown store But wrap me up in your arms And baby, I'll be yours There's nothing at the five-and-dime That I really need Your kiss is the only gift That means a thing to me Bring me all your lovin' That's something you ain't tried Bring me all your lovin' And I'll be satisfied That's the truth No, there's nothing at the five-and-dime That I really need Your kiss is the only gift That means a thing to me Bring me all your lovin' That's something you can't buy Bring me all your lovin' And I'll give you all of mine Bring me all your lovin' Throw your presents in the creek Yeah, bring me all your lovin' And I'll be tickled pink |

Heard the preacher at the service
Declare you'd gone home that day To meet the Maker and His servants And take a rest amidst His grace. He said now that you're in Heaven Your trials on earth are through, But I didn't hear him mention If Heaven's good enough for you. He claimed you feel no more sorrow Since you're free from all life's fears, But can the blessed on God's mountain Love you more than I down here? I was raised not to question Promises the Bible makes, But how could the Almighty Make such a terrible mistake? Did the Lord's illumination Shine upon you from His throne When He witnessed my sweet angel Suffer on the long road home? If there's really no more teardrops And the streets are paved with gold, Send me down some reassurance. I don't believe what I've been told. If there really is a Kingdom Where you start your life anew Won't you please somehow convince me That Heaven's good enough for you. |

Up 'til now my lucky stars shined brightest in the sky
I was living in the lap of the gods But miss fortune turned the tables And turned out all the lights Now there's no chance in hell I'll beat the odds. I'm going down going down Down down down I'm going down. Up 'til now I never looked At what was in the cards Played fast and loose I didn't give a damn But a joker who is wild like me Can't beat the old graveyard If he's staring at a dead man's hand. (repeat chorus) Up 'til now the thought of losing Didn't cross my mind It felt good to gamble with my soul But what was I a thinking Why'd I lay it on the line Everybody one day has to fold. (repeat chorus twice) I lost this round I'm going down. 21:13, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:13, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:13, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:13, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:13, 6 April 2006 (PDT)~ |

It's nearly 3 a.m.
And still, no sight of him When it comes to love I'm in the dark Lord, I don't understand Why I stand by my man All he's ever done Is break my heart. Won't you send down an angel From the blue to show me The righteous thing to do Oh, I'm calling out to you. Send down an angel To ge me through I'm not the praying kind but It can't hurt to try. I can't find the answer by myself I need help. 21:14, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:14, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:14, 6 April 2006 (PDT)21:14, 6 April 2006 (PDT)~~ |

I take a pint of whiskey
And crack open its lid I drink the bottle empty Just like my poor daddy did. I take after my family My fate's the blood in me No one grows old in this household We are a dying breed. I take a red and blue one From my Mama's purse I wash 'em down with homemade wine To see what kicks in first (repeat chorus) I take another needle Black powder and a spoon I set my sights on heaven And shoot for the moon.

Daylight has found me here again.
You can ask me anything but where I've been. Things that used to matter seem so small When you're looking for a soft place to fall. Don't misunderstand me baby please. I didn't mean to bring back memories. You should know the reason why I called: I was looking for a soft place to fall. Looking for a soft place, Nothing more than a small taste Of a love that ended long ago. Looking for a place to hide, A warm bed on a cold night. I didn't mean to hurt you, no no no. Looking out your window at the dawn. Baby when you wake up I'll be gone. You're the one who taught me, after all, How to find a soft place to fall. You're the one who taught me, after all, How to find a soft place to fall. |

What happened to the world we painted
The masterpiece of me and you Our work of art has all but failed Nothing's here except the blues. Love's crumbling Love's tumbling down Love's crumbling Love's tumbling down. It was a stroke of genius Yeah just as pretty as you please But all that's left between us Is hanging on what used to be. (chorus) Looking at it from a distance I still can't believe my eyes It's sad to have to witness What we made on all those nights Crumbling down, tumbling down.

I want some sugar in my bowl
I want a little sweetness down in my soul I could stand some lovin' Oh so bad Feel so lonely and I feel so sad I want a little steam on my clothes Maybe I could fix things up so they'll go Whatsa matter Daddy Come on, save my soul Drop a little sugar in my bowl I ain't foolin' Drop a little sugar in my bowl Well I want a little sugar in my bowl Well I want a little sweetness down in my soul You been acting strangely I've been told Move me daddy I want some sugar in my bowl I want a little steam on my clothes Maybe I can fix things up so they'll go Whatsa matter Daddy Come on save my soul Drop a little sugar in my bowl I ain't foolin Drop some sugar- yeah- in my bowl.

Mockingbird singing a tune
No one knows she's got the blues Humming alone, singing her song Like mockingbirds do Paying no mind to the ground Ain't nothing gonna bring her down It's just her and the sky She doesn't ask why, so why do you? Worry, ain't no need to worry She ain't in a hurry, no She's right where she needs to be Worry, ain't no need to worry, no, no She ain't in a hurry She's right where she needs to be For watching the world rolling by Taking her riddance on high Humming alone, singing her song She's doing fine |
