Lyrics

Well what was that / it was a time, a line, a wrong crash

I wish I’d never walked in your direction

but it’s done / it’s done / there’s a time for sorrow

and a time for grace

grace / grace

now I find / it’s important enough to say

that I’ve been a broken bird before

and I’m sure I’m still / at the center of my wreckage

but I don’t have time to keep score on you babe

I’m keeping you in mind / keeping you in mind

there’s a time for sorrow / and a time for grace

a time for sorrow / and a time for grace

both of these have breathed their life into my face

a time for sorrow / and a time for grace

both of these have breathed their life into my face

so I hope you’re well / our struggles are the same

though you’ve made a mighty big name / with your game

and my quiet life / suits me just fine

I’ve had all the ride I can take for some time

I’m just keeping you in mind / keeping you in mind

there’s a time for sorrow / and a time for grace

where is that Kent

country boy?

hes still in there, I know.

Where is that Kentish Kentish man

who was changed and changed again

and took on the tongue of London

and put a ring upon his hand.

Where is that Kent

country boy?

Hes still in there I know.

take the love along as you go

though I know you feel alone

and that there is no where to run.

youll find your freedom

in the sun

in the light you once ran from.

youll find your freedom

will come easier

if you keep on believing in being freer.

where is that Kent

country boy?

Hes still in there, I know.

Deep in the story, &

love remains.

poetry and water.

a broken chain.

danger, danger

but we are unscathed.

In Time, subsides

immovable pain.

You are the dove,

my love,

my love.

The sweet and set free thing

you dream

of being of.

No stone unturned.

No fire not burned.

and what has been learned

and heard

feared

spurned

the loss is the gain.

what’s mine to take / only that no one can take my place

left you, you’d rather be alone / with your fantasies

and Brigitte Bardot in the kitchen, well okay

my life, my face

my mess, my blame

my pride, my shame

my human ways and my tears are mine to take.

between mine and yours a line lives

for no bridge to break

between mine and yours a line lives

and it’s forever, that’s what you say

what’s yours to keep / difficult nights without sleep

knowing that you’re now free / wondering if you want to be

and hey I’m back on my feet

I’m so sad. heartbroken. down and blue.

you dont want to see me, but you know I would see you

I know it aint me babe, its what youre going through…

but still leaves me sad, heartbroken, down and so blue.

I am so sad, heartbroken. down and blue.

At losing you even before we were through.

and all the time I spent with you

werent no time at all cause you werent being true.

my heart, my heart. my heart is in pain.

in the boots I left behind and your whiskers in the drain.

in the tin and shell boxes.

in the old words of the old foxes.

in the smiles that you gave me

in the bed that you made me.

in the clothes that I bought that I had no time to take with me home

was when my heart was

with you wherever you were

and now there is no us

my heart, my heart…

I am so sad, heartbroken, down and blue.

damn their eyes.

damn the lies they made and made you tell too…

broke me heart, of course I forgive thee.

time will find you speaking sweeter things of me.

Would I still have tried if I’d known the truth?

don’t matter, now I’m sad, I’m down, I’m blue

so youre not going to listen to my songs anymore

and youre not going to write to me or

tell your friends about me and

youre not going to think about me ever again…

its just like we were never friends now

so youre erasing our love from the pages of books

and the letters we wrote

and the songs that we shared and

the way that we cared and

its just like we were never friends now….

oh its a crazy world

when your lover can forget about you in one day….

okay…..oh hey…

heartbreak….

here you are…

again! my, my, my, oh.

well you said goodbye, Im not asking for more

got no foot in the door and

I dont need to have the floor

because theres nothing left to say,

because its just like we were never friends now.

I have never been made a ghost so quickly

well you have cleared history

there was never a me

I guess you really set me free

because its just like we were never friends now.

I’ve seen the fire you walk through

Nothing can keep me away from you

Like a dog in heat

Pounding heart in the soles of my feet

I taste your dark sweat on my lip

And don’t count what I give

No regrets

no secrets

I’ve seen the fire you walk through

Nothing can keep me away from you

Like a dog in heat

Running up the dirty street

After you

I have to turn around to see me

I have to run away to find peace

So I can bring it back to you

No regrets

No secrets

i’ve seen the burning on your feet.

seen you low down wandering the street.

i’ve seen the fire that you walk through.

nothing can keep me away from you.

Tiger, tiger, burning bright

In the forests of the night,

What immortal hand or eye

Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies

Burnt the fire of thine eyes?

On what wings dare he aspire?

What the hand dare seize the fire?

E MINOR A MAJOR

And what shoulder and what art

Could twist the sinews of thy heart

And when thy heart began to beat,

What dread hand and what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain?

In what furnace was thy brain?

What the anvil? What dread grasp

Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears,

And water’d heaven with their tears,

Did He smile His work to see?

Did He who made the lamb make thee?

Tiger, tiger, burning bright

In the forests of the night,

What immortal hand or eye

Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

No you weren’t gonna cry

You’d already tried

But something didn’t feel right about your life

You lay with your head

On the edge of your bed

With your hand on your chin looking down

You doubted yourself

Every step of the way

Making it much harder to meet your mark

But I see the big beautiful in you

Can you feel me?

I see the big beautiful in you

Can you feel me?

And you waited there

With flowers in your hair

For your love to come to you

And when she came

You had nothing to say

So she went on her way

And you doubted yourself

Every day

Made it much harder to meet your own life

But I see the big beautiful in you

Can you feel me?

Baby I still see the big beautiful in you

Can you feel me?

Can you feel me?

Though you deceive me

Can you receive me?

Though you deceive me

Can you receive me?

Run from you

Run to you

Run from you

Run to you

Run from you, run to you, run from you, run to you

But it’s okay

It’s okay

It’s okay

Baby

I love you I love you I love you I love you I do

My girl, my girl, don’t lie to me

Tell me where did you sleep last night

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun don’t ever shine

I would shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, where will you go

I’m going where the cold wind blows

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun don’t ever shine

I would shiver the whole night through

Her husband, was a hard working man

Just about a mile from here

His head was found in a driving wheel

But his body never was found

My girl, my girl, don’t lie to me

Tell me where did you sleep last night

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun don’t ever shine

I will shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, where will you go

I’m going where the cold wind blows

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun don’t ever shine

I would shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, don’t lie to me

Tell me where did you sleep last night

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun don’t ever shine

I will shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, where will ya go

I’m going where the cold wind blows

In the pines, the pines

The sun, the shine

I’ll shiver the whole night though

Will you ever change?

Will it ever get better?

Will you ever ever change

Can we ever just be together.

You give me heroin blues.

Known many who were dead before they died

Last time I saw Mr. Smith he too was on the spike

Could hardly talk babe

And that’s how you sounded the other day

It’s a rough road we ride, my child

When you’re getting high.

Will she ever change?

Will she ever get better?

Will she ever change?

Will she get herself together?

you all give me heroin blues.

inside you know that’s death

before it’s time.

Ms. Holiday and so many others dying on the spike.

Don’t you give me heroin blues too.

It’s enough that you say you’re blue

Give me the word

+ I come to you

it’s enough, it’s enough that you say you’re blue

it’s enough that you say I’m sweet

to make me fall down at your feet

whether the fates say

bad or cool

I will come to you

Cause it’s enough that you say you’re blue

I want sugar/you give me salt

I want sugar/you give me salt

I want sugar/you give me salt.

I want roses/you give me none

I want roses/you give me none

I want roses/you give me none.

can’t do nothing/to please you right

can’t do nothing/to please you right

you’re my lover/why do we fight

I want sugar/in my bowl

I want sugar/in my bowl

come on, open up your soul.

give me sugar/I’ve had my salt.

From September to may

We were doing okay

I don’t know when

I started feeling this way

Maybe I need

Something sweet

Maybe I need

Another year of sleep

I’m a music box ballerina

Spinning for you

Your shipwreck on my shore

Made me love you even more

Come on kid, you can pull through

So it didn’t work out as planned

You’ll just have to find another way

Than the one you were dreaming

From September to May

je t’accueille affectuesement

(et je m’impose sur toi)

mais je manque ta froideur.

ma betise est plus evidente

avec la temps de janvier

sur ta figure.

qu’est-ce qui s’est passe?

la porte de ton coeur

je l’ai laissee ouverte trop longtemps

et maintenant

je ne peux pas rechauffer

cet hiver en toi.

c’est dommage! et je suis nauvree…

je te manque, mais je suis trop tard -

le souvenir de toi

me casse le soleil.

How will you come to me now?

As a liar, lover, patron, beggar, thief, lion, or on fire?

Oh baby, save my soul.

I don’t care about rock and roll

Oh baby save my soul.

I don’t care about rock and roll.

How will I come to you now?

I’m in no position to be your lover

I’m in no position to be your judge

I’m in no position to be your brother

I’m in no position to be your mother

I’m in no position to be your daughter

I’m in no position to be your sister

I’m in no position to be your son

I’m in no position to be your savior

I’m in no position to be your slave

Oh baby save my soul

I don’t care about rock and roll

How will you come to me now?

As a help, a loss, a weight, a mate?

What a lovely weight to put on me.

What a lovely weight to bear.

To set me free with, since I’m thinking of you here.

Once upon a time, we flew

Out in the stars, and around the moon

Oh baby, save my soul

I don’t care about rock and roll

Oh baby, save my soul

I don’t care about rock and roll

The life you like

The snow too white

The stars too bright

For you tonight

The snow too white

The stars too bright

The life you like

Is killing you

Is killing you

You long to be

Fresh as the day

The pain will fade

Memory’s blade

just

Kill the past

Wake up fast

You can’t hold on to

Artifacts

This time / this time in my life

Seems another of so many dark nights

When I show / myself the light

I see the stars the moon the owl the cougar and you

I want to see you through it

This year / this year it is clear

I know nothing once again

I see the stars the moon the owl the cougar and you laughing

Love is gone / What’s our favorite song, baby?

Love is gone / One is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do

Love is gone from here / Everyone knows it’s Windy

Love is gone / Heaven is the name that you gave me

Love is gone / I’m going back to the city

Fire escape / First date

I don’t believe in a soul mate

But I choose you again

I choose the stars the moon the owl the cougar and you

Love is gone / What’s our favorite song?

Love is gone / One is the loneliest number

Love is gone / Everyone knows it’s Windy

Love is gone / I’m going back to the city

Forget the pines

Where your hurting shines so loud, and the lake

Forget the wind, moving my fire again

I see the stars the moon the owl the cougar and you

I want to see you through it

just want

to be

in a

strange place

is that

so much

to ask

so much

to ask

so much

to ask

baby, do you have to act so mad

i don’t see a reason to be so sad

why don’t you just love yourself for a day

or maybe go and find yourself a girlfriend

i tried to be empathetic to your needs

but i just did that for someone else, and i’m too tired, baby

i want to be a young girl having fun

loved for what i am and let go if i’m not

i know that we shared something so bright

but i don’t want to be in your world every day and every night

it seems you only like me when i’m weak

if i’m sad or i need you then you seem to feel great

if my happiness grates on your nerves

then you better tell yourself that this is

not the right girl for me

i know that we shared something so bright

but i don’t want to be beside you every day and every night.

hello stranger, put a friendly hand in mine

hello stranger, put a friendly hand in mine

i need a friend, would you be a friend of mine?

get up rounder, let a working girl lay down

get up rounder, let a working girl lay down

you’re the only good friend that i’ve found in this town

every time i ride the six and fourth street cars

every time i ride the six and fourth street cars

i can see my baby from here behind these bars

well he bowed his head and he waved both hands at me

he bowed his head and waved both hands at me

i’m prison bound and wishing i was free

hello stranger, put a friendly hand in mine

hello stranger, put a friendly hand in mine

i need a friend, would you be a friend of mine?

all of the ways i kept you at bay are falling down

letting you in was my biggest sin, i’m paying for it now

a clean love is what i need

a clean love so free i can breathe

all of your promises, all of our dreams have fallen down

come back, make it right, no sail away, stay away

this game has got to end

a clean love is what i need

a clean love so free i can breathe

you’re on my mind most all of the time

i just want to put it down

you wanted to win, and i let you in

i’m paying dearly for it now

a clean love is what i need

a clean love so free i can breathe

it ain’t fair to kiss you with the footprints of that man still on my mind

and if you look into my eyes the pain of leaving him ain’t hard to find

you hold me close and i recall painting his kitchen yellow as i cried

and i couldn’t love you the way that you deserve right now no matter how i tried

you might say that i am nobody’s wife, but i was somebody’s wife one time

i can say with certainty i didn’t like it much but the memories of those days flow like wine

there’s a sailing ship that’s waiting and she takes my broken heart out to see

i keep his face so far away from my mind but still it comes to me

early in the morning i awake and wonder where that life has gone

and the only time i let myself feel pain is when i’m singin some song

you might say that i am nobody’s wife, but i was somebody’s wife one time

i can say with certainty i didn’t like it much, but i miss him like a child

i might say that i am nobody’s wife, but i was somebody’s wife one time

i wouldn’t trade my new life for anything, but i miss him like child

oh i wish i had a horse

and that your name was my name

oh i wish i had brown braids

and a white convertible like you did in the sixties

oh i wish i had a gray sailor dress

and that your name girl was my name

oh i wish i was makeup free and fourteen

like you in your school picture from the eighties

oh i wish i had a rush concert t shirt

and that your name was my name

oh i wish i had a college semester

and a low maintenance haircut like you did in the nineties

i want to be by your side

i want to see through your eyes

but i’m me

In a field of green, was it summer, was it spring?

our hearts were open wide, we could almost walk inside.

but then love was professed, now it’s a sticky ugly mess.

welcome to the winter of our love.

where did you go?

you’re not what i want, old loves hang around my heart.

guess i’ll take what i need, just let you take the lead.

you’re no longer being real, i’m no longer free to feel

welcome to the winter of the heart

where did you go?

i can’t really see you anymore,

you could say that we are over

but who do you tell it to on a chilly afternoon

pour more salt into these wounds

try to widen the false space

between your face and my face

and your heart and my heart.

i don’t have anything to say to you

but it don’t mean i don’t have nothing to tell

i want you to come over to my house if you want to

and i’ll kiss your lips and that is my way of saying hi

I can’t take any more pain
I can’t handle any more strain
think I’ll catch me the next train
to the next big town
got five dollars to my name
nothing’s changing, everything’s the same
time to end this dead old day and bring a new one around

(chorus)
Put one foot in front of the other
don’t get scared, god, don’t let me run for cover
something real good is gonna happen today
right in front of my crying face
I just hope I have the grace
to free my heart and mind,
leave old success behind.

I fall awake and I make my bed
yesterday playing in my head
makes me feel just like I’m dead
oh do you understand
standing on the ground where the old ones bled
each morning I choose the road I tread
never been good at being led,
I take a holier hand!

(chorus)

any place I’m in
I got to leave again
what castle will I have?
I keep building on the sand
any place I’m in
I got to leave again
what mansion will I have?
I keep building on the sand
(chorus)

to free my heart and mind and leave old ghosts behind

It’s so nice that you can’t go back

baby, ain’t it nice that you can’t go back

and the only way that you can go back

is in your mind.

You don’t know just what you’re gonna find.

The future is bright and tomorrow is there for you

future is bright and tomorrow is there for you

You might wake up and be a whole new guy!

You don’t know just how you’re gonna feel.

The future is bright and tomorrow is there for you.

future is bright and tomorrow is there for you.

You might wake up and be a whole new gal.

You don’t know just how you’re gonna feel.

oh, you been traveling so long

oh, you been traveling so long

oh, you been traveling so long

oh, you been traveling so long

got a dime in your left hand

got a dollar in your right

won’t buy you nothin

but darlin that’s alright

in life you’re moving, moving ain’t wrong

oh you been traveling so long

oh you been traveling so long

get to a new town, and then you say so long

this life is moving, moving ain’t wrong

oh you been traveling so long

got a dime in your left hand

got a dollar in your right

won’t buy you nothin

but darlin that’s alright

in life you’re moving, moving ain’t wrong

oh you been traveling so long

one woman born you into this world

one day you go back to the earth

til then you’re moving, moving ain’t wrong

oh you’ll be traveling so long

I’m gonna buy us a train

and fill it with love

and drive it around the country

and if the evening is bright

we’ll travel late into the night

we’ll travel around the country.

ah, ah

and we will have little fights

and hold hands

and travel around the country

and we will sleep in the arms

of each other’s dreams

we’re dreaming, we’re dreaming.

ah, ah

let’s get together

we can have the perfect child

it will be heaven, you and me

and our baby

this world’s a cold one

people have to come and go

we’ll stay together

like the sun and the moon

Well I know now what to do with your heart

I know how not to rip it up

give it back to me, hey don’t say no

give it back to me, don’t say no

the sunset

from Echo Park

reminds me of our love

beautiful, beautiful

through the haze

I didn’t know then what to do with your heart

you gave it to me, I dropped it right on that ground

give it back to me, hey don’t say no

give it back to me, don’t say no

the sunset

from Echo Park

reminds me

of our love

beautiful, beautiful

through the haze

I may not say it like other girls do.

I may not show it like other girls do.

and you might think I’m a little bit strange

but I love you.

I think that you don’t notice me.

You think that you already know me.

Either way, neither one is true

but you know I love you

I like you more than you might consider normal for

the amount of time that we have known each other

It’s not all up to me

The way that we’re going to be

but I love you.

I always want what I cannot have

It’s a natural fact

It’s a natural fact

Take you, you’re a very good example of this

I think my life would be better

if I had a little bit of money

I think my life would be better

if I owned a piano

If I had something better to do

than have a crush on you.
