Long black limousine
Shiniest car I've ever seen The back seat is nice and clean She rides as quiet as a dream Someone dug a hole six long feet in the ground I said goodbye to you and I threw my roses down Ain't nothing left at all in the end of being proud With me riding in this car and you flying through them clouds I've had some time to think about it And watch the sun sink like a stone I've had some time to think about you On the long ride home One day I took your tiny hand Put your finger in the wedding band Your daddy gave a piece of land We made ourselves the best of plans Forty years go by with someone laying in your bed Forty years of things you say you wish you'd never said How hard would it have been to say some kinder words instead? I wonder as I stare up at the sky turning red I've had some time to think about it And watch the sun sink like a stone I've had some time to think about you On the long ride home Headlights searching down the driveway The house is dark as it can be I go inside and all is silent And seems as empty as the inside of me I've had some time to think about it And watch the sun sink like a stone I've had some time to think about you On the long On the long Oh the long On the long ride home |

Moon River, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker wherever you're going I'm going your way Two drifters off to see the world There's such a lot of world to see We're after the same rainbow's end waiting 'round the bend my huckleberry friend Moon River and me |

You don't know what you feel
You don't know what you feel Your mind is blinded by the speed of light But your driving a ton of steel Jesus left a love divine Then He disappeared Jesus left a love divine But He didn't leave it here There's a million cars and drivers You can see them from the heavens above And an endless sea of red tailights On a twisted road to love Your head's a radio Playing a stupid song Your head is a radio And you're singing right along If you had just one day Would you spend it here? If you had just one day Would you spend it here? There's a million cars and drivers You can see them from the heavens above And an endless sea of red tailights On a twisted road to love There's a million cars and drivers You can see them from the heavens above And an endless sea of red tailights On a twisted road to love I seen you looking at me So smug and so smart I seen you looking at me Spinning around on a music box Spinning around, spinning around And around on a music box Spinning around, spinning around And around on a music box On a music box On a music box Around, round, round, round |

Let's take a ride to the seaside
We can go out swimming in the high tide Just wear your shorts and your long hair Don't forget the lawn chair Everybody's gone to the movies Everybody's gone and its groovy They went to the one about the big war I didn't, I'd seen it before I guess I'm taking my chances Giving up the ring throwing in the gloves I guess I'm taking my chances Trading in my things A couple wings on a little white dove And one big love, one big love Everybody do like a Monkey If you want to go on and be funky No need to talk like a hero Talk a walk count down to zero No sense defending your honor Just go on and kiss him if you want to Everything before is gone or is going somewhere I guess I'm taking my chances Giving up the ring throwing in the gloves I guess I'm taking my chances Trading in my things for a couple wings on a Little white dove And one big love one big love I don't know where we are And I don't care And now we're out of gas And riding on air And one big love, one big love |

Does anyone remember Tony
A quiet boy, little over weight He had breasts like a girl When I wasn't too busy feeling lonely I'd stare over his shoulder At a map of the world He always finished all his homework Raised his hand in homeroom He called the morning attendance With the pledge allegiance to the (gloom) ? Hey Tony, what's so good about dying He said I think I might do a little dying today He looked in the mirror and saw A little fagot starin' back at him Pulled out a gun and blew himself away I hated every day of high school It's funny, I guess you did too Its funny how I never knew There I was sitting right behind you They wrote it in the local rag Death comes to the local fag I guess you finally stopped believing That any hope would ever find you Well I know that story, I was sitting right behind you Hey Tony, what's so good about dying He said I think I might do a little dying today He looked in the mirror and saw A little fagot starin' back at him Pulled out a gun and blew himself away Hey Tony what's so good about dying, dying Hey Tony what's so good about dying, dying Hey Tony, what's so good about dying He said I think I might do a little dying today He looked in the mirror and saw A little fagot starin' back at him Pulled out a gun and blew himself away Pulled out a gun and blew himself away Pulled out a gun and blew himself away Tony |

Occurred to me the other day
You've been gone now a couple years Well, I guess it takes while For someone to really disappear And I remember where I was When the word came about you It was a day much like today The sky was bright, and wide, and blue And I wonder where you are And if the pain ends when you die And I wonder if there was Some better way to say goodbye Today my heart is big and sore It's tryin' to push right through my skin I won't see you anymore I guess that's finally sinkin' in 'Cause you can't make somebody see By the simple words you say All their beauty from within Sometimes they just look away But I wonder where you are And if the pain ends when you die And I wonder if there was Some better way to say goodbye |

If you had the real thing how would you tell
Liars can say it all just as well Every single word you've heard in vain Baubles of gold, stars in your hair Reflections that told that they were not there And the diamonds on your cheeks have turned to flames [Chorus] And up in the air they would write your name there But love would fall to pieces in the rain Who would know better than you A hundred love letters and none of them true Christina, Christina It's a wondrous world of ridiculous things With nothing so rare as the love that it brings In the silence of a smile that understands A piece of the action, pieces of gold Everyone's paid well and does what they're told For the simple daughter of a simple man [Chorus] Christina, Christina Christina, Christina |

Whatever I knew it was nothing at all Nothing at all, just making me small Smaller and smaller I fall back Sooner or later with a view from the ground Chasing the race and the races run you down Sooner or later with a view from the ground And a tear in your eye You say baby why can't we fly Into the blue sky High Into the blue sky Be my singing lesson Be my song When I tell you I'm falling You tell me I'm strong You say trees have grown tall Birds have flown high Higher and higher Goodbye goodbye goodbye I'll fly over a rainbow I'll be sun kissed Sail around the planet Venus And send a long letter Way back home That says all that I know All that I know is the blue sky High in the blue sky The farther I come the farther I fall Whatever I knew it was nothing at all Trees have grown tall, birds have flown high Higher and higher Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye |

The bed alone tonight The only thing a-touching him Is a crack of light Pieces of her hair are wrapped Around and 'round his fingers And he reaches for her side For any sign of her that lingers And she says you are not alone Laying in the light Put out the fire in your head And lay with me tonight One of them bullets went straight for The jugular vein There were people running, a flash of light Then everything changed Nothing really matters in the end You know all the worries sever Don't be afraid for me, my friend One day we all fall down forever And you are not alone Laying in the light Put out the fire in your head And lay with me tonight The wedding date was June Just like any other bride She loved him like no one before It was good to be alive Sometimes that can slip away as fast As any fingers through your hands So you let time forgive the past And go and make some other plans And you are not alone Laying in the light Put out the fire in your head And lay with me tonight You are not alone Laying in the light Put out the fire in your head And lay with me tonight |

I'm over here and it's cold
I'm writing recipes for growing old Growing old, mean and alone Oh, baby, pick up the phone This pain in my heart Has been with me through the ages And I walk IT around like a very old friend It goes everywhere I go It's been everywhere I've been There's something shiny in my pocket It's the key to my heart Why don't you unlock it? I write the book on loneliness I write the poem on pain I'm the obituary in the newspaper Lying out in the pouring rain It used to be, babe, good between us I don't know how to explain We used to be Adonis and Venus Now we're the water flowing down the drain Don't wanna be bad Don't wanna lie Don't wanna make you mad And I don't wanna die Knowing we're apart for the rest of our lives Cuts through me like a knife I been eating your crops like a big old locust Now I wanna be a little more in focus I write the book on loneliness I write the poem on pain I'm the obituary in the newspaper Lying out in the pouring rain MUSICAL BREAK I write the book on loneliness I write the poem on pain I'm the obituary in the newspaper Lying out in the pouring rain Oh... And the obit....oh And the obit....oh And the obit....everyday Whoa, oh oh, oh, oh ah... I write the book |

from Joshua Radin - Simple Times (2008)
I've been down this road before
I walk out the door Leave you on the floor Sometimes you run and hide Your foolish pride's What keeps me from Giving you more So the best thing I can give to you Is for me to go Leave you alone Cause you got growin' up to do Someday I'll return when its time For payment in kind The church bells will chime You'll stand before me surrounded by lights Dressed in white You throw flowers in the air this night But the best thing I can give to you Is for me to go Leave you alone You got growin' up to do Looks like the rain's pouring down on me It's drowning me now And all I want is to come back home And this old corduroy coat is not keeping me dry But I can't think of what else to try That's why the best thing I can give to you Is for me to go Leave you alone You got growin' up to do Yeah, the best thing I can give to you is for me to go Leave you alone You got growin' up to do |
