skinny boy, all bones no lies you're so miserable in the mornings will you will wait up for me? it's sordid and I can't find my feet and you've got lips I could spend a day with.
skinny boy, somewhere some prostitution. some devour some doubt some dance. they're coming with swords through the backdoor, and there you are on the fence with those lips I could spend a day with.
when it's done, i'll drink champagne to the lonely lonely in me monday, tuesday so lonely wednesday, thursday only me friday, saturday only me here comes sunday…
Come along, Ruby Where have you gone? You've got eyes like the North Dakota sun Got lips like an ocean and skin like the rain Whole lot of whisky and wine and propane.
Took me to Nashville to sing with the band And then you left me in Tulsa sleepin' in the van A dollar and a daisy is all that you left Lock up my heart and forget about the rest Lock up my heart, forget about the rest
A year and a day is all that its been My Ruby's still singin' and I'm drinkin' gin. Lost all my money on the Saratoga track Lost all my time hopin' you would come back Lost all my time hopin' you would come back
Come along, Ruby Where have you gone? You've got eyes like the North Dakota sun Got lips like an ocean and skin like the rain I wonder if I'll ever see you again?
I have a hard hearted island Where I live alone I've seen my love grow big as a mountain And scatter like ashes and bones These things I have forgotten Memory I've left behind Something was always drifting away So I'll stay It may be the night it might be the morning Never again will I weep I've got the wind blowing beside me And the water to sing me to sleep That sky can do my crying Seasons can have my goodbyes The city can keep all its history And leave me I have been beat I'm not defeated Not bitter not bound and not meek When disappointed is a slow burning fire Let it drown under the sound of my feet
I feel as blue as the blue in your eyes I feel as old as the old man telling lies I feel as lucky as a horseshoe on the door But I don't think I can take this world no more No I don't think I can take it anymore
Ain't it hard to keep your eyes closed sometimes Ain't it hard to turn away Ain't it hard to feel the sunshine sometimes It feels just like another rainy day
I feel more burdened as the bourbon starts to seep Hoping it will help me get to sleep I feel as lonesome as the woman in the moon Hoping that you'll be beside me soon I'm hoping that you'll lie next to me soon.
It's too cold by the window and too hot by the fire
The porch light is burnt out and the sky looks tired
It's all wrong while your gone It's all wrong while your gone
The bedroom is like a Monday and the phone is my only song
The nights a broken radio even the dogs face is long
It's all wrong while your gone It's all wrong while your gone
Come home and the birds will bring you honey Come home and flowers will bloom Come home are you as lonesome Come home soon
I can hear your wheels turn on the lonely highway Ice kicked up in the February sun of the town Thunderbay
It's all wrong while your gone It's all wrong while your gone
Come home and the birds will bring you honey Come home and flowers will bloom Come home are you as lonesome Come home soon
East to west, north to south, blind in the pines of highway 69
Thirty loads in thirty nights, thirty cities and dirty dashboard days
It's all wrong while your gone It's all wrong while your gone
Come home and the birds will bring you honey Come home and flowers will bloom Come home are you as lonesome Come home soon Come home soon Come home soon
He brings out the whiskey in me When it's later than night-time and all that's good is asleep He brings out the whiskey in me
We were just thirteen years old When my daddy's liquor cabinet That was usually closed Is where we found Canadian gold When you're gettin over troubles around When you're gettin over lovers that have let you down When you're paying for the past It all don't seem so bad When ice is ringing in your whiskey glass
I can hear the first morning train It's quarter to dawn and the bottle's gone Go to sleep before the sun gets strong It's all wrong while your gone It's all wrong while your gone When you're gettin over troubles around When you're gettin over lovers that have let you down When you're paying for that past it all don't seem so bad when ice is ringing in your whiskey glass
He brings out the whiskey in me When it's later than night-time and all that's good is asleep He brings out the whiskey in me
Man made moons they go on one by one When the sun is done for the day That's when the girls come by through the silver blinds We'll watch the drinking lie on the pavement That's our sentiment Down by the railway the bicycles are there An apocalyptic fair for the alive It's a sign the messengers they bring With their stainless steel wings on a 45 That plays our lullaby
Today I'm sinkin' lower than the sun does on a Sunday And I look around But you're nowhere and I don't know If I can pick up, because when I wake up You're still gone
And all the water in you is putting out the fire in me And all the miles have no sympathy
Then tomorrow comes, and you're knocking at my door And I forget it all I forget that I spend every night thinkin' of your hands Trying to make myself understand that I, I will love you anyway
Yeah, I'll keep on lo-lo-lovin' you anyway Yeah, I'll keep on lo-lo-lovin' you anyway
Today, I'm sinking lower than the sun does on a Sunday And I look around But you're nowhere, and I don't know If I can pick up, because when I wake up You're still gone
Yeah, I'll keep on lo-lo-lovin' you anyway (Gone) Yeah, I'll keep on lo-lo-lovin' you anyway (Gone)
Blablabla and everyone be quiet The machine has come between me and my love It's hopeful but doubtful for tomorrow so pour me up another before bed
Lady love has only seen me crying and the nights have forgotten who I am but singing is always easy when you're drinking so pour me up another before bed
If you would take and embrace me in your arms I would stay and dedicate my heart watch you go when the day breaks so pour me up another before bed pour me up another before bed
