It is the evening of the day,
I sit and watch the children play. Smiling faces I can see But not for me, I sit and watch as tears go by. My riches can't buy everything, I want to hear the children sing. All I hear is the sound Of rain falling on the ground, I sit and watch as tears go by. It is the evening of the day, I sit and watch the children play. Doing things I used to do They think are new, I sit and watch as tears go by.

Our chemical devotions of the night
Bring endless labyrinths of vines to light Your silent spell won't bring you home tonight You couldn't open up your veins to light All that blossoms, all that blooms Lies fallow in the night Waits for a golden sunlight All that blossoms, all that blooms Lies fallow in the night Waits for a golden sunlight Our chemical devotions of the night Desanguinate limbs veined with valleys of ice Children of stone your crystal cages align Crown of creation bring me into the light All that blossoms, all that blooms Lies fallow in the night Waits for a golden sunlight All that blossoms, all that blooms Lies fallow in the night Waits for a golden sunlight Our chemical devotions of the night Desanguinate limbs veined with valleys of ice Children of stone your crystal cages align Crown of creation bring me into the light All that blossoms, all that blooms lies fallow in the night, Waits for the golden sunlight. All that blossoms, all that blooms lies fallow in the night, Waits for a golden sunlight. |

I know this dress I'm wearing doesn't hide the secret I have tried concealing
When he left he promised me that he'd be back by the time it was revealing The sun behind a cloud just casts the crawling shadow o'er the fields of clover And the time is running out for me I wish that he would hurry down from Dover He's been gone so long when he left the show was deep upon the ground And I have seen a spring and summer pass and now the leaves are turning brown And any time a tiny face will show itself 'cause waiting's almost over But I won't have a name to give it if he doesn't hurry down from Dover My folks weren't understanding when they found out they sent me from the home place My daddy if folks found out he'd be ashamed to ever show his face My mamma said I was a fool and she did not believe it when I told her That everything would be all right 'cause soon he would be coming down from Dover I loved him more than anything and I could not refuse him when he needed me He was the only one I'd loved and I just can't believe that he was using me He couldn't leave me here like this I know it can't be so it can't be over He wouldn't make me go through this so long, oh he'll be coming down from Dover My body aches the time is here it's lonely in this place where I'm lyin' Out baby has been born but something's wrong it's much too still I hear no cryin' I guess in some strange way she knew she'd never have a father's arms to hold her And dying was her way of telling me he wasn't coming down from Dover |

The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell "Let my guitar playing friend do my request." Let him sing me back home with a song I used to hear Make my old memories come alive Oh please take me away and turn back the years Sing me back home before I die I remember Sunday morning a choir from off the streets They came in to sing a few old gospel songs And I heard him tell the singers "There's a song my mama sang. Won't you sing it once before I move along?" Won't you sing me back home with a song I used to hear Make my old memories come alive Please take me away and turn back the years Sing me back home before I die Won't you sing me back home before I die |

The sun was red and the fires were roarin'
Stars aligned and our webs were spun I could've sworn I heard my spirit soarin' Guess, I'm always chasin' the sun Hopin' we will soon be one 'Til it turns around to me and I try to run On phosphorous wings the phoenix floated The fires froze and the sea was hushed And when I tried to speak, the sun imploded And the war will rage in my guts Till the devil bites the dust I never saw him losin' a race, but I think he must The great storm raged and the power kept growin' Dragons rose from our land below And even now I wonder where I'm goin' Ever since a long time ago I've tried to let my feelings show I'd like to think I'm insincere, but I'll never know |

Track me down and try to win me Then he motions to me with his hand on my knee Dear God, did this kind of this thing happen to you?

FLANDYKE SHORE
(Trad; arr;Gil Goldstein-Traditional, arranged by Peter Webster) I went unto my own love's chamber window, Where I had often been before, Just to let her know love unto flandyke shore, Unto Flandyke shore, Never to return to England no more, Never to return to England no more. A? I went unto my love's chamber door, Where I never been before. There i saw a light springing from her clothes, Springing from her clothes, Just as the morning sun when first arose, Just as the morning sun when first arose. A? As I was walking on the Flandyke shore Her own dear father I did need "My daughter she is dead," he cried. "She is dead," he cried. "And she's broken her heart all for the love of thee." So I hove a bullet onto fair England's shore, Onto fair England's shore, Just where I thought my own true love did lay. A? CD/ LP EASY COME EASY GO=2008 |

Who is it, when did it happen, and where? Why did you let me know? How could you think I'd stand it? You knew I'd pay you back. I did it, and it happened, do you care? Where did it go to, my youth? Where did it fade away to? Who was it told the truth, the bitter truth The truth we didn't want to know? Who is he, do you know? This man of power but a fool. They said he was so high and pure. They also said that he was cruel. They killed him, did you see? They knew he couldn't take it. They wanted lies, he said the truth. They did it, and it happened, who cares? Where did it go to, my youth? Where did it slip away to? Who was it told the truth, the bitter truth The truth we didn't want to know? Why did you let me know? How could you think I'd stand it? You knew I'd pay you back. I did it, and it happened, do you care? What is it, do you know? Who did it, can I bear it? Who did it, do I care? Who is it, when did it happen, and where?

It took a long time coming
That big over the shoulder statement But when it came, it flowed easy as poison Taken in extreme despair [Repeat: x3] Remember to write often In case you have something to tell me, But please don't mention the unexpected guest Staring into empty eyes [Repeat: x3] A long lost confidence and pride Come ringing back, come ringing back To have the shadow back again And happiness that feels like pain. Then you left us To see if you could find it And when you came back, it flowed easy as poison It flowed easy as poison Taken in extreme despair [Repeat: x3] A long lost confidence and pride Come ringing back, come ringing back To have the shadow back again And happiness that feels like pain [Repeat: x2] Happiness that feels like pain.

You've seen him
In the undirected light of street dreams Doing nothing Standing, like to seem casual With a resemblance to people held by fear. Lit by fire and disrepair. The blue millionaire. Don't listen and keep asking Only stories reach this far. No one's left and no one's coming And I will disappear Far away from you, The American wind, And the blue millionaire. Blue millionaire. Blue millionaire. There is no such thing as the Wrong Man Blue as the dusk that ended my day And shut off the light and air. I wish I could tell you How he put them in cages, Found you where you slept. Got me down with something else than bruises Tied me to a blue chair Lit by fire and disrepair The blue millionaire. Blue millionaire. Blue millionaire. Blue millionaire. Blue millionaire. Seen him drinking gin from pale blue bottles, Drowning in shadow, Shadows moving in. Forever imagine Imagine it's him Nearby the window With dreams broken in. I don't laugh anymore or smile, I am lost in the body, The passion of time. He is screening my dreams And everything that's mine. Don't stay in this mirror Other hands have left me in. You don't blow away as I do. It will be the same again. Turn and point away from here. Steal what you cannot win From the blue millionaire. Blue millionaire. Blue millionaire. Blue millionaire. Blue millionaire. Blue millionaire. Blue millionaire. Blue ... |

[Chorus]
Falling from grace, falling from grace. Lord, you have a pretty face. Take it away and pack it in a suitcase. Then forget about falling from grace. Don't look at me like that, I never said a word. Don't ask me where I've been, I'll pretend I never heard. Don't put it in the paper, please, don't! I never said I will, I never said I won't. [Chorus] It's looking bad, I know, I'm an outlaw. Don't pity me, I never felt like this before. Please tell me you believe me, please say I'll get along without you, anyway. [Chorus] Feeling hunted, I'm lying low. Don't tell me who it is, I never said so. Put yourself in my place, please try. I never told the truth, I never told a lie. [Chorus x 2] [Repeats] Falling from grace. Falling from grace, falling from grace. |

There is a land that I can go to
When I have time to rest. All the people I love are there And those who love me best. [Chorus] Then I heard the wind Calling from over the sea Saying, "Ireland, Ireland, When will you be free?" "Ireland, Ireland, When will you be free?" This land I go to when I'm tired And need to see and walk in green. The people who can laugh and drink And see things others have not seen. [Chorus] There is another side to this pure land, A side of blood and guilt and pain A side of enemy and friend And sorrow at the hearth side stain. [Chorus] There is a land that I can go to When I have time to rest. All the people I love are there And those who love me best. [Chorus] "Ireland, Ireland, When will you be free?" "Ireland, Ireland, When will you be free?" |

When will the morning come?
I wait in darkness so long Will the sun ever rise again? Hours flowing over me I wait in vain for some change Will light ever pierce this pain? Riding on a humming bird's wing Caravans fleeing from the East May the pilgrim join in the feast How will the morning be? I watched the dawn in my dreams And imagined the day for years Shall I feel warmth again And feel it true when they say That the day never ends in tears? Riding on a humming bird's wing Caravans fleeing from the East May the pilgrim join in the feast Tell me, please, how will it come? This release, a crack in the door Shall I feel warm again And feel it true when they say That the day never ends in tears? Beyond and back of the wind Little birds fly into the sea Morning light shine on me Oh, tell me please, how will she come Surrounding me, the opening door? Riding on a humming bird's wing Caravans fleeing from the East May the pilgrim join in the feast Beyond and back of the wind Little birds fly into the sea Morning light shine on me Riding on a humming bird's wing Caravans fleeing from the East |

Looking over your shoulder just in time. Avoid the light, close your eyes And put your hand in mine. And put your hand in mine. Are we in danger, or is it that You think we might be ?

In the end will it matter that you've gone ?
In the end will I go on minding that you've gone ? Will the night always seem so long, Is it really darkest before dawn ? Will I see whiskey as a Mother In the end ? In the end will I smash my brains with drinking Till I fall down on the floor, Will I hiccup and jabber, Saying things I never meant ? Will I kiss and cry and wake to find A sordid stranger by my bed ? Will the world shake its sensible head And say the words that have to be said: "She's got a problem." Every problem has a solution in the end And solutions must be final For help gets so unhelpful near the end. When I take my last ride Down the big dipper slide, Will I care, will it matter If the world should say: "She had a problem." She had a problem. She had a problem. In the end will it matter that you've gone ? In the end will I go on minding that you've gone ? Will the night always seem so long, Is it really darkest before dawn ? Will I see whiskey as a Mother In the end ? |

In a tired part of the city
Hiding from the fast talk Watch 'don't walk' to 'walk' Easy when you're dreaming Staring at the movies Standing in a circle, Laughing at the wrong time. If alcohol could take me there. I'd take a shot a minute And be there by the hour. Take a walk around times square With a pistol in my suitcase And my eyes on the tv. In a car taking a back seat Staring out the window Thinking about danger. Playing in a wrong world Fighting ??징??쨘 but I'm not free. Talking on the telephone Talking about you and me. If jesus christ could take me here I'd fall dawn on my knees, Have no questions to his answers. Take a walk around times square With a pistol in my suitcase And my eyes on the tv. Alcohol could take me there. I'd take a shot a minute And be there by the hour. Take a walk around times square With a pistol in my suitcase And my eyes on the tv. And if I die gaining my senses Wake up in a hotel Staring at the ceiling. |

Before the posion
I wasn't down, If you'd been there If you'd been around I couldn't hear Couldn't hear a sound I was floating Above the ground Before the poison I'd lost my fear Maybe too happy, To even care Safe in my dreams Couldn't see the fall Coming on, coming from nowhere My name to call No more to say Nothin's coming my way No you, no me No more, how can it be Nowhere to run Out of nowhere, poison That is the end What's left for you, my friend Before the poison I'd laugh out loud I'd see your face In any crowd But speak softly Without fear Hold on to me Hold me near No more to say Nothin's coming my way No you, no me No more, how can it be Nowhere to run Out of nowhere, poison That is the end What's left for you, my friend? What's left for you, my friend? What's left for you, my friend? What's left for you...? |

Watch out now, take care,
Beware of falling swingers Dropping all around you The pain that often mingles In your fingertips. Beware of darkness. Watch out now, take care, Beware the thoughts that linger Winding up inside your head The hopelessness around you In the dead of night. Beware of sadness. It can hit you It can hurt you Make you sore And what is more, That is not what You are here for. Watch out now, take care, Beware of soft shoe shufflers Dancing down the sidewalks As each unconscious sufferer Wanders aimlessly, Beware of Maya. Watch out now, take care, Beware of greedy leaders. They'll take you where you should not go, While weeping Atlas cedars, They just want to grow, grow and grow. Beware of darkness. |

A bottle of gin and a cigarette was all what he had left. Well, I know that you make music 'cause you carry a guitar, But God help the troubadour who tries to be a star. Come on and play the chords of love, my friend, Play the chords of fame, But if you want to keep your song, do mi, do mi do, Don't play the chords of fame, oh no, no. You know I've seen my share of hustlers as they try to take the world And when they find a melody, they're surrounded by the girls.

Come on and play the chords of love, my friend, Play the chords of fame, But if you want to keep your song, do mi, do mi do, Don't play the chords of fame, oh no, no. They'll rob you of your innocence, and put you up for sale. The more that you will find success, the more that you will fail.

You must leave now, take what you need, you think will last.
But whatever you wish to keep, you'd better grab it fast. Yonder stands your orphan with his gun, Crying like a fire in the sun. Look out the saints are coming through And it's all over now, Baby Blue. The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense. Take what you have gathered from coincidence. The empty-handed painter from your streets Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets. This sky, too, is folding under you And it's all over now, Baby Blue. All your seasick sailors, they are rowing home. Your empty-handed armies are all going home. The lover who just walked out your door Has taken all his blankets from the floor. The carpet, too, is moving under you And it's all over now, Baby Blue. Leave your stepping stones behind you, something calls for you. Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you. The vagabond who's rapping at your door Is standing in the clothes that you once wore. Strike another match, go start anew And it's all over now, Baby Blue. |

Ten years ago, on a cold dark night
There was someone killed 'neath the town hall light There were few at the scene, but they all did agree That the man who ran looked a lot like me She walks these hills in a long black veil She visits my grave where the night winds wail Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees Nobody knows but me The judge said, "Son, what is your alibi? If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die" I spoke not a word, though it meant my life I had been in the arms of my best friend's wife She walks these hills in a long black veil She visits my grave where the night winds wail Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees Nobody knows but me The scaffold is high, and eternity nears She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear But sometimes at night, where the cold winds moan In a long black veil, she cries all o'er my bones She walks these hills in a long black veil She visits my grave when the night winds wail Nobody knows, no, and nobody sees Nobody knows but me Nobody knows but me |

She must be hurt very badly. Tell me what's making you sad, Li ? Open your door, don't hide in the dark. You're lost in the dark, you can trust me, 'Cause you know that's how it must be. Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa. Her eyes like windows trickle in rain Upon the pain getting deeper Though my love wants to relieve her. She walks alone from wall to wall, Lost in her hall she can't hear me, Though I know she likes to be near me. Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa. She sits in her corner by the door. There must be more I can tell her If she really wants me to help her. I'll do what I can to show her the way And maybe one day I will free her Though I know no-one can see her.

Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet ?
We sit here stranded, though we're all doin' our best to deny it And louise holds a handful of rain, temptin' you to defy it Lights flicker from the opposite loft In this room the heat pipes just cough The country music station plays soft But there's nothing, really nothing to turn off Just louise and her lover so entwined And these visions of johanna that conquer my mind. Inside the museums, infinity goes up on trial Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while But mona lisa musta had the highway blues You can tell by the way she smiles See the primitive wallflower freeze When the jelly-faced women all sneeze Hear the one with the mustache say, "jeeze I can't find my knees" Jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule But these visions of johanna, they make it all seem so cruel. The peddler now speaks to the countess who's pretending to care for him Sayin', "name me someone who's not a parasite and I'll go out and say a prayer for him" But like louise always says "ya can't look at much, can ya man ? " As she, herself, prepares for him And madonna, she still hasn't showed We see the empty cage now corrode Where her cape of the stage once had flowed The fiddler, he now steps on the road He writes ev'rything's been returned which was owed On the back of the fish trucks that load While my conscience explodes The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain And these visions of johanna are now all that remain. |

I know that woman in the mirror, not quite yours and not quite mine, Who she is can't say for sure, could be from another tide. She's the Queen of Sheba, my father's mother, Her face is low flying Africa. She says to me she is not me, So tell me, tell me who is she ? Tell me, tell me who is she ? You'd think she owns the streets of Dublin, They say she's king of Torquay island, She trades in piracy and sinning She knows where you go at night. And when you think you've finally reached her, She laughs and says, |

Do you remember me, Do you remember anything ? Don't pretend I didn't make you laugh, File it under fun from the past. Well, I'm looking 'round the room Some of the people I've loved. Guess I remember everything File it under fun from the past. I could have been a contender, a contender for your love I would have given you everything if I only knew how. I would have given you everything if I only knew how, only knew how, I could have been a contender, a contender for your love. File it under fun from the past, File it under fun from the past. It was only you, it was always only you. I never saw what other people bought, I never cared what they thought. Well, I'm looking 'round the room, some of the people I've loved, Guess I remember everything. File it under fun from the past. You could have been a contender, a contender for my love. I would have given you everything if I only knew how, only knew how. I would have given you everything if I only knew how, only knew how, You could have been a contender, a contender for my love. File it under fun from the past, File it under fun from the past. Do you remember me, Do you remember anything ? Don't pretend that it'll make you laugh, File it under fun from the past. Well, I'm looking 'round the room Some of the people I've loved. Guess I remember everything, File it under fun from the past. I could have been a contender, a contender for your love, I could have given you everything if I only knew how, only knew how. I would have given you everything if I only knew how, only knew how, I could have been a contender, a contender for your love.-a |

It comes as no surprise Your face filled with lies Hovers all around me in this room. Clouds hung with my dismay A hot bed where we lay Your every kiss tasting like a tomb. If time becomes a judge, If my body holds a grudge It's just because I needed sanctuary. Your skin under my nails My curiosity that failed To save myself for something that I need. I don't wanna bleed Or bruise up black and blue. Do I deserve these things All for wanting you ? Like some virgin with her cloth I play the goddess coming through Now I play the parting slave All for wanting you. We do things 'cause we must The law of love and lust Comes together just like oil on flame. I looked into your eyes, You saw me naked for a while, How d'you like it in my little nest ? Who was really using who ? In here the scent of you Stains the sheets with memory and lust. When I get back on the street Tell everybody that I meet Maybe these aren't scars, they're only rust. I don't wanna bleed Or bruise up black and blue Do I deserve these things All for wanting you ? Like some virgin with her cloth I play the goddess coming through Now I play the parting slave All for wanting you. |

Great expectations I have to find I want to tell you what it was like My recollection is not too clear So much hope and so much fear. Long conversations into the night Not like that, oh no, not so black and white The great temptation's to try and please you Play with you thought and mind and tease you If I could tell my story in a song I'd have to make it fast, yes it's very long Many shades of grey between the right and wrong. Day for night, night for day All the stories on this way, Feel the fire burn away. So turn the lights down low, come over here Stay with me, don't go, you'll see my characters appear The storyteller's magic doesn't lie He'll make you laugh to make you cry Real for me is real for you What I say is almost true. Day for night, night for day All the stories on its way, Feel the fire burn and play. The story's ended now you're on your own Let's say a little prayer, go home. |

Do you remember me ? How we used to be helpless and happy and blind ? Sunk without hope in a haze of good dope and cheap wine ? Laying on the living-room floor on those Indian tapestry cushions you made Thinking of calling our first born Jasmine or Jade. Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it to me, Don't think about it, don't think about it, don't think about it, don't think about what it might be, Don't get up to open the door, just stay with me here on the floor, It's gonna get cold in the 1970's. You wouldn't listen, you thought you knew better, you just to had to speak to that man. Please believe me, I'll visit whenever I can. Laying in your little white room with no windows and three square sedations a day, You plead with the doctor who's running the show, |

I cherished the night of your marathon kiss, Chemicals flying, oh I love this. What's it all for if you can't feel the ecstasy ? What's it all for if you can't touch the power, The will to live in the hour ? Don't steal what I have got, baby, 'Cause it's hardly enough for myself. Don't steal what I've got, baby, 'Cause the balance is thin like a shell. I cherished the night of your marathon kiss, Chemicals flying, oh I love this. What's it all for if you can't feel the moment ? What's it all for if you can't feel the moment, The moment of kiss. Fearless when I'm with you, Fearless when I'm with you. Fearless when I'm with you, Fearless through and through. What am I gonna wear ? I don't care. Nobody sees the inside. Oh, the radio's gonna take us out Take us out on a ride. I put on perfume and I walk in the room The world stands still with you in the room. I cross the floor and I'm high and I'm rich When I'm under your lips and your fingertips. I cherished the night of your marathon kiss, Chemicals flying into the mist. What's it all for if you can't feel the moment ? What's it all for if you can't feel the power ? What's it all for if you can't, can't live right here In the hour, in the hour, in the hour ? Fearless when I'm with you, Fearless when I'm with you. Fearless when I'm with you, Fearless through and through. |
