If we lived in a world withought tears
How would bruises find The face to lie upon How would scars find skin To etch themselves into How would broken find the bones If we lived in a world without tears How would heartbeats Know when to stop How owuld blood know Which body to flow outside of How would bullets find the guns If we lived in a wold without tears How would misery know Which back door to walk through How would trouble know Which mind to live inside of How would sorrow find a home If we lived in a world without tears How would bruises find The face to lie upon How would scars find skin To etch themselves into How would broken find the bones If we lived in a world without tears How would bruises find The face to lie upon How would scars find skin To etch themselves into How would broken find the bones How would broken find the bones How would broken find the bones |

Words Fell
Like roses at our feet When you let me see you cry Your silent lips against my cheek Words Fell On a night as black as coal Your kisses traveled deep Your eyes pierced my soul Words Fell Words Fell In another place and time We lived within the woods Ate berries from the vine Words Fell When we lay among the stones And watched the Druids dance And walked along the rocky shores Words Fell Words Fell In another place and time I knew your mournful blue Knew your golden grace Words Fell When we let the ocean hold us And sank beneath the waves In the silences of the roses Words Fell Words Fell Words Fell |

I would rather suffer sweet silent solitude
Deathly defiant from drowning out Filthy sounds stumbling, ugly and cruel Between the lips of your beautiful mouth Deep down within me words move in phases Frozen and still until they decide To melt and drip over the pages Until that moment they live inside My words enjoy the feel of the paper Better than me, lay with your consonants Once they get going they never waver And they slip in between your if, ands, and buts When my words are hiding between the lines Then I'm afraid they won't hear me call What if they fail me without a sign? What if they hardly surface at all? Screaming and throwing your weight around My words choose knowledge over politics You can't kill my words...they know no bounds My words are strong and they don't make me sick They still remain my only companion Boiling truth to the very end They'll never ever completely abandon Ever give up the paper and the pen |

Which will you go for which will you love
Which will you choose from, from the stars above Which will you answer which will you call Which will you take for for your one and all Tell me now which will you love the best SOLO Which do you dance for which makes you shine Which will you choose now if you won't choose mine Which will you hope for which can it be Which will you take now if you won't take me Tell me now which will you love the best |

[Chorus]
Where, where is my love Where, where is my love Is my love in Helena Eating sweet potato pies Sure as hell won't be tellin' ya Even as much as a little white lie Is my love in Tupelo Whisperin' down the blues Knowing things he shouldn't know And givin' away what he cant use [Chorus: x2] Is my love in Birmingham Making honey from the bees Over joyed to be my man And rollin' up his flannel sleeves Is my love in Gainesville Pretty, radiant and warm Drinkin' whiskey til hes had his fill Inspired by a summer storm [Chorus] ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By WILLIAMS, LUCINDA <i>Lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc.</i> |

I shudder to think
What it would mean If the President wore pink If a prostitute was Queen What would happen then How would the world change If thick became thin And the world was rearranged If the rains brought down the moon And daylight was feared And the sun rose too soon, And then just disappeared If dogs became Kings And the Pope should cum If hobos had wings And God was a bum If houses became trees And flowers turned to stone And there were no families And people lived alone If buildings started laughing And windows cried And feet started clapping And out came inside If mountains fell in slivers And the sky began to bleed And blood filled up the rivers And prisoners were freed If the stars fell apart And the ocean dried up And the world was one big heart And decided to start And children grew up happier And they could run with the wolves And they never felt trapped Or hungry or unloved If cats walked on water And birds had bank accounts And we loved one another In equal amounts |

Come out West and see
The best it'll ever be I know you won't stay permanently But come out West and see Climb up on a rock And stretch out in the sun And close my eyes and let My imagination run I'm tracing your initials in the shining sand I'm counting out the days til I see you again Who knows what the future holds Or where the cards may fall But if you don't come out West and see You'll never know at all I look off in the distance Blow a kiss and wave A thousand miles between us Disappear some day I watch as all the starlings Fly in from the North The beating of the winds Echoes the beating of my heart I sleep out in the desert Under the stars above And keep making an effort To wander in love Who knows what the future holds Or where the cards may fall But if you don't come out West and see You'll never know at all Come out West and see The best it'll could be I know you won't stay permanently But come out West and see |

I think I'm gonna make myself a little something to eat,
Get a can down off the shelf, maybe a little something sweet. Haven't spoke to no one, haven't been in the mood, Pour some soup, get a spoon, stir it up real good. Go out with a friend, they know the music might help, But I can't pretend - I wish I was somewhere else. I wanna watch the ocean bend, The edges of the sun,then I wanna get swallowed up In an ocean of love. Put on my coat, go out into the street, Get a lump in my throat, and look down at my feet. Take the long way home, so I can ride around, Put Neil Young on and turn up the sound. Drive up the coastline, maybe to Ventura, Watch the waves make signs out on the water. I wanna watch the ocean bend, The edges of the sun,then I wanna get swallowed up In an ocean of love. Stand in the shower, clean this dirty mess, Give me back my power, and drown this unholyness. Lean over the toilet bowl, and throw up my confession, Clense my soul, of this hidden obsession. I wanna watch the ocean bend, The edges of the sun,then I wanna get swallowed up In an ocean of love. I wanna watch the ocean bend, The edges of the sun,then I wanna get swallowed up In an ocean of love. |

You say there's always gonna be this thing
Between us days are filled with dreams Scorpions crawl across my screen Make their home beneath my skin Underneath my dress stick their tongues Bite through the flesh down to the bone And I have been so fuckin' alone Since those three days Did you only want me for those three days? Did you only need me for those three days? Did you love me forever just for those three days? You built a nest inside my soul You rest your head on leaves of gold You managed to crawl inside my brain You found a hole and in you came You sleep like a baby breathing Comfortably between truth and pain But the truth is nothing's been the same Since those three days Did you only want me for those three days? Did you only need me for those three days? Did you love me forever just for those three days? You say there's always gonna be this thing Between us days are filled with dreams Scorpions crawl across my screen Make their home beneath my skin Underneath my dress stick their tongues Bite through the flesh down to the bone And I have been so fuckin' alone You built a nest inside my soul You rest your head on leaves of gold You managed to crawl inside my brain You found a hole and in you came You sleep like a baby breathing Comfortably between truth and pain But the truth is nothing's been the same Since those three days Did you only want me for those three days? Did you only need me for those three days? Did you love me forever just for those three days, baby? Did you only want me for those three days? Did you only need me for those three days?

You run yourself ragged tryin' to be strong
You feel bad when you done nothin' wrong Love got all confused with anger and pride So much abuse on such a little child Someone you trusted told you to shut up Now there's a pain in your gut that you can't get rid of No one heard your screams when you were nine When bad dreams filled your summertime So you don't always show your sweet side ... You're tough as steel and you keep your chin up You don't ever feel like you're good enough You've had the blues ever since you were six Your little tennis shoes and your pick-up sticks You were screamed at and kicked over and over Now you always feel sick and you can't keep a lover Every Christmas there were presents to unwrap But the things you witnessed when you were five and a half So you don't always show your sweet side ... Someone deserted you, the damage is done Now you don't deserve to be loved by no one Hands that would feed you when you were two Were the same hands that beat you black and blue You get defensive at every turn You're overly sensitive and overly concerned Few precious memories no lullabies Hollowed out centuries of lies So you don't always show your sweet side ... I've seen you in the kitchen cookin' me supper I listened to you bitchin' I watched you suffer I still love you baby 'cause I know you Don't mean to do the cruel things you do I've seen you sewin' buttons on your shirt I've seen you throwin' up when your stomach hurt I'll stick by you baby through thick and thin No matter what kind of shape you're in 'Cause I've seen your sweet side ... |

I met my enemy today
Baby sends the little one out to play Enemy shot two of my buddies down Baby rides the little one on the merry-go-round By my post, I'm standing guard Baby hopes for roses in front yard I don't know my enemy's name Baby takes the little one to a baseball game Why am I in this God forsaken place? Baby washes the dirt off the little one's face Ten year olds in the killing fields Baby's planning the weekly meals Bodies in a muddy ditch Baby's got supper to fix My buddy's got a hole in his head Baby's gettin' the little one ready for bed Today I shot my enemy Baby gives the little one a hug for me Both my buddy's legs got blown off Baby tends to the little one's cough I stare down the barrel of a gun Baby's out to have some fun I hear ringing in my ears Baby's face is all wet with tears I hear echoes of shots Baby's only thinkin' sweet thoughts Why In the hell did they send me here to fight? Baby kisses my picture and turns off the light I can't look my enemy in the eye Baby tells the little one, daddy's gone bye-bye Today I took a bullet through the heart Baby's gonna have to make a brand new start I met my enemy today Baby sends the little one out to play Enemy shot two of my buddies down Baby rides the little one on the merry-go-round |

As you walk along the sidewalks of the city You see a man with hunger in his face And all around you crumbling buildings and graffiti As you bend down to tie your shoelace Sirens scream but you don't listen You have to reach home before night But now the sun beats down it makes the sidewalks glisten And somehow you just don't feel right Hold me, baby, give me some faith Let me know you're there let me touch your face Give me love give me grace Tell me good things tell me that my world is safe You pass by bars with empty stages Three o'clock drinkers fall by Chairs are placed on top of tables As you brush the hair out of your eyes A woman stops you with a question So you drop some money in her hand She sleeps in doorways and bus stations And you'll never understand Hold me, baby, give me some faith Give me love give me grace Tell me good things tell me that my world is safe |

How did you come up with a day and time
You didn't tell me you'd changed your mind How could I have been so blind I didn't know you'd changed your mind When you made the decision to get off this ride Did you run out of places to go and hide Did you know everybody would be surprised When you made the decision to get off this ride When you made the decision to jump ship Once and for all lose your grip Did you wax the deck to make it easier to slip When you made the decision to jump ship When did you start seeing black Was it too much good you felt you lacked Was it too much weight on you back When did you start seeing black When did you start seeing red Did you see me standing over your bed Did you hear anything I said When did you start seeing red When did you start seeing white Tell me baby what was it like Was it when you received your last rites When did you start seeing white Did you use a compass to get out of this place Did you ever hear my voice, did you see my face Did you finally get tired of running the race Did you use a compass to get out of this place Did you feel your act was a final truth The dramatic ending of a misspent youth Did you really feel you had all the proof Did you feel your act was a final truth Was it hard to finally pull the plug Was it hard to receive that final hug Did evil triumph over love Was it hard to finally pull the plug When did you start seeing black Was it too much good you felt you lacked Was it too much weight on you back When did you start seeing black When did you start seeing red Did you see me standing over your bed Did you hear anything I said When did you start seeing red When did you start seeing white Tell me baby what was it like Was it when you received your last rites When did you start seeing white |

How many times
Have you heard someone say If I had his money I'd do things my way How little they know That it's so hard to find One rich man in a hundred With a satisfied mind Once I was living In fortune and fame And everthing I could dream of To get a start in life's game And suddenly it happened I lost every dime But I'm richer by far With a satisfied mind No money can buy back Your youth when your old Or a friend when you're lonely Or a heart that's grown cold And the world's richest man Is a pauper at times Compared to the man With a satisfied mind When my life is over And my time has run out My friends and my loved ones I'll leave there's no doubt But there's one thing for certain When it comes my time I'll leave this old world With a satisfied mind I'll leave this old world With a satisfied mind |

He can't rescue you
Can't pull the demons from your head Can't lull you from your sleepy bed He can't rescue you He can't protect you From the powers that will be The hours of insanity He can't protect you He can't change you Change the summers of your beauty The thunderstorms within your purity He can't change you He can't carry you Past the door of every danger Every foe and every stranger He can't carry you He can't save you From the plain and simple truth The waning winters of your youth He can't save you He can't fix you Your tears will always leave their mark From fears that stay inside the dark He can't fix you What can he do But tie some ribbons in your hair And show you that he'll always care That's all he can do Lala lala |

You've got a sense of humor
You're a mystery I heard a rumor You're making history Photographic dialogues Beneath your skin Pornographic episodes Screaming sin 'Til its real live bleeding fingers Broken guitar strings You are my Prince Charming Draped in velvet robes Of all that's alarming Raw and exposed Shattered nerves Itchy skin Dirty words And heroin Better real live bleeding fingers Broken guitar strings I climbed all the way inside Your tragedy I got behind The majesty Of the different shapes In every note The endless tapes Of every word you wrote With real live bleeding fingers Broken guitar strings |

Pyramid of tears
Pyramid of tears Pyramid of tears, I see you cry Her dress don't hide her age Not like mama said it would And her smile fades away Just like daddy said it could No, things don't come so easy Not when you turn twenty five And to blow out the candles Takes a pill of concentration I can't look inside her eyes I can't kiss her perfect lips I can't whisper in her ears And take her far away from this Pyramid of tears Pyramid of tears Pyramid of tears, I see you cry I can't hold her tight enough Not to steal away the pain I can't look into her eyes And tell her everything's okay No, she's not tired, she's just older And she's lost the will to fly I can't whisper in her ears And tell her everything's alright Pyramid of tears Pyramid of tears Pyramid of tears, I see you cry Pyramid of tears Pyramid of tears Pyramid of tears, I see you cry I see you cry I see you cry I see you cry |

We all make mistakes sometimes
And I have made my share of mine But if I have to, I'll walk the line Just to prove my love You know I'd give everything I've got And I what I'd give would be a lot I would smooth out all the rough spots Just to prove my love Let me prove my love for you Let me do whatever I can do Let me show my heart is true Let me prove my love for you [instrumental] There was a time way back when The words we spoke were sweeter then We can have those times again Let me prove my love Let me prove my love for you Let me do whatever I can do Let me show my heart is true Let me prove my love for you Let me prove my love for you |

That's what they all tell me That's what they say to me Overtime Your blue eyes, your black eyelashes The way you looked at life In your funny way I guess out of the blue You won't cross my mind And I'll get over you Overtime Your pale skin, your sexy crooked teeth The trouble you'd get in In your clumsy way I guess one afternoon You won't cross my mind And I'll get over you Overtime I guess out of the blue You won't cross my mind And I'll get over you Overtime |

Once in awhile we might pass on the street
We nod we smile and we shuffle our feet Making small talk standing face to face Hands in our pockets cause we feel so out of place Our paths may cross again in some crowded bar We feel a little lost cause we've |

Once in awhile we might pass on the street
We nod we smile and we shuffle our feet Making small talk standing face to face Hands in our pockets cause we feel so out of place Our paths may cross again in some crowded bar We feel a little lost cause we've drifted away so far Hoping to find the right words to say We joke a little and then go on our way We are so out of touch yeah We are so out of touch yeah La La La La la la la We speak in past tense and talk about the weather Half broken sentences we try to piece togethor I ask about an old friend that we both used to know You said you heard he took his life about five years ago We may pass each other on the interstate We honk and cross over to the other lane Everybody's going somewhere everybody's inside Hundreds of cars hundreds of private lives We are so out of touch yeah La La La La la la la From Lucinda William "Essence" Lost Highway Records 2001 Warner - Tamerlane Publishing/Lucy Jones Music Tony Garnier bass Bo Ramsey guitar Charlie Sexton guitar David Mansfield violin/viola Jim Keltner drums Organ Reese Wyans Lucinda acoustic guitar |

Just another one night stand
Just another man to forget Just another empty hand With nothin' left to bet It doesn't really matter what i say There's no one here to blame I'll just close the door and walk away Let down once again I can't even say you lied to me 'Cause you ain't said nothin' yet You never even tried for me There's nothin' to regret Just another one night stand Just another man to forget Just another empty hand With nothin' left to bet I'd like to speak to you someway But the words won't come out right How can it feel so wrong today When it felt so right last night I claim no hold on anyone No silken strings to bind No promises unbroken No messages to find Just another one night stand Just another man to forget Just another empty hand With nothin' left to bet |

I've been waiting for you to come back
Since you left Minneapolis Snow covers the streetlamps and the windowsills The buildings and the brittle crooked trees Dead leaves of December Thin skinned and splintered Never gotten used to this bitter winter I've been wasted, angry and sad Since you left Minneapolis I wish my thoughts were pure like the driven snow Like the heavens and the spring's virgin buds But they strangle me with their sin Fill me up with poison Black clouds have covered up the sun again I can always trace it back To that night in Minneapolis Here on the seventh floor in a room I can't call mine Deadbolt on the door, do not disturb sign Shaking and trembling On the clean white linen Slivers of starlight across the ceiling A dozen yellow roses All that's left in Minneapolis I wish I'd never seen your face or heard your voice You're a bad pain in my gut I wanna spit you out Open up this wound again Let my blood flow red and thin Into the glistening Into the whiteness Into the melting snow of Minneapolis |

Lucinda Williams Lead vocals, acoustic guitar Gurf Morlix Electric and acoustic guitarbackground vocals Duane Jarvis Electric guitar Dr. John Ciambotti Bass Donald Lindley Drums and percussion Doug Atwell fiddle Back in Memphis she was a pearl She was everyone's favorite girl Now her eyes have a vacant stare What she wouldn't give to be livin' back there She married a man when she left home She wanted someone she could call her own He was good to her when he wasn't drunk He'd hold her and tell her how pretty she looked Back in Memphis where she grew up The life she knew was just not enough Back in Memphis when she was a girl She thought one day she'd own the world She'd look at the TV and magazines And she'd believe all the pictures she'd seen She'd be wearin' silk and perfume so sweet But those things don't mean much out here on the street SOLO Back in Memphis she had fun Goin' around, tellin' everyone She was gonna buy dresses that zip up the side And wear red lipstick, have a nice car to drive She bounces her baby on her knee Sayin' maybe today we'll get lucky, you'll see I promise it won't always be like this Come here, sugar, give Mamma a kiss Back in Memphis another time Didn't look like things would turn out fine Back in Memphis when she was a girl She thought one day she'd own the world Back in Memphis she was a pearl |

Maria, you're still wild and restless
And I can just see ya ridin' in a rodeo You might even make it down to Texas Or you might head out west to New Mexico So pack up all of your belongings A pick-up will take you where you wanna go You can ride out when you hear mountains calling Out to Canada or the canyons of Colorado New York City was always your home But in your heart you know you were born to roam And you're gonna leave as soon as you get the money After you sell everything you own GUITAR SOLO Maria, is loneliness a virtue Or does it steal you blind and leave you split apart Maria, can you give me an answer Are the songs we sing worth the broken heart The highway has always been your lover And someday you may know his name Wherever you stay it wouldn't really matter 'Cause all those cities start to look the same Some folks will try to take your heart away And just when you think you've really got it made You wake up and find madness in the morning But damn the pain and damn those restless days Damn the pain and damn those restless days |

I love you, Mama you sweet
I love you, Mama you sweet I love you, Mama you sweet I love you, Mama you sweet I love you, Mama you sweet With an ocean in my spirit And cracks on my lips And scars in my heart And this burden on my hips Ocean becomes heavy and tries To push its way out Through these ancient eyes And the memories in my mouth Ocean becomes tears That ebb and flow Over the lines in my face And the pain in my soul And pain hits a wall And doesn't know which way to go And ocean says I'm crying now And tells pain to follow And pain courses through Every vein, every limb Trying to find a way out Between the secrets in my skin And secrets hold on Until they finally give in And they meet up with ocean And tears again And tears hand me a shovel Saying break beneath the crust That binds earthly skin And buries all the trust Somehow trust was caught Between the cracks on my lips And the scars in my heart And this burden on my hips I love you, Mama you sweet... |
