The girls like berlin like berlin in the snow
The walls come a fallin' just as she knows
To open up wide and show the side she's been meaning to show.

But just like a candle like a candle outside
It goes out sometimes, but still shows the light
The light of a life, the ligh

My daddy he worked in a coal mine
Twenty years nine to five
It was dark
And he died
Darker than the lung
Inside
Darker than his face
When he stepped out into the night
Wiped the dust from his eyes

They said I cried
But I don’t remember
The day that h

I got nothing in my heart
That you can’t have
I got nothing in my heart
That you can’t have
Cause it’s rainin’ I’m cold and lonely
And I’d swim to the bottom of the sea
To find you there just waiting to hold me
Who’d a known that the jokes on me

Oh there’s nothi

Dear Sam, dear Sam
I thought of you today
You were ridin’ a train
And it was safe
Cause where we live
We don’t much see
The things that you see
And sometimes I feel guilty
For complaining ‘bout a thing

And Dear Sam, dear Sam
I think you’re like a brother

His heart is full
With steal wool
And the bottom of his feet
Have been put to rest
He can’t dig that deep no more
Cause the guilt she laid upon him
When she came undressed
Madness swirled around
It was unfolded unpressed
And all she wants to know is darlin’

We act like ourselves, but is it self that we want?
Or is it just some small piece of that woman over there?
Cause she’s dipped in gold and covered in pearls
OH NO, I wanna go to the edge of the world
And you can come along and dance with me some,
And we’ll twist and we’ll tw

Did you hear me
Come down from that mountain today
Did you hear me
When I had nothing to say to you
I think you asked about the weather
So now, I'll go no place with you
So now, will you go no place with me too
We'll go no place together
I'd like to sit
On thi

I put my hand upon the bible
Put my hand upon the bible
Drank wine from the well
I drank wine from the well

I dreamt about Gethsemane
Dreamt about Gethsemane
Where Jesus hung his head and prayed
He hung his head and he prayed
Dear god I am so sorrowful
Is th

Red Winged Black birds
Jesse likes a sparrow
Jesse likes a Whippoorwill
Jesse likes the sound through the window of a mockingbird late at night

And if that Mockingbird don’t sing
Mama gonna buy you a diamond ring

Jesse likes wind
Jesse likes water
Jesse likes

I can just see you, whilst you sail across the waters
And the winds will knock your heart free
You’ll take the pictures of life as a sailor
And you’ll send them to me
You’ll write me a story about waves that came crashing
And how they helped you find peace
I’ll write you

I got me a man and that crown rules his world
Gives him his power, and his weakness with girls
He finds himself thinking he’s no good with these strings
Cause he plays ‘em so hard, he can’t see what life brings

So lift up the anchor
It’s been raining for days
The back y

I've never had a way with women
But the hills of Iowa make me wish that I could
And I've never found a way to say I love you
But if the chance came by, oh I, I would

But way back where I come from we never mean to bother
We don't like to make our passions other peoples conc

Why would I want to go to heaven
The people here don’t think much of me now
And they’ll be up there one day
Just when I think I got it all figured out
And why would I want to be the ocean
Water can’t wash away these sins
Just now or ever

But I’m growing older
Go

It’s the end of the Texas trail
And it’s where I begin
A town too tough for Texans
Lord I think I’ll fit right in
Transcontinental railroad
Running by my door
Was headed east to the ocean
But I don’t belong there anymore

Ogallala I really want ya
Sweet Nebra

He had questions about angels
And all them things were black and white to you
You can’t question and angel
When greeds got your tongue
The devil, god and greed become one

And on and on
Show me a sign
The heart is drunk
With whiskey and crime
He took to drink

She kept the cardboard pieces
In a box made of twine
It shriveled and died
I guess the love was a lie
You can go it alone
When the sky turns to stone
Hammer and tong
Boulder and bone

She’s got roots
She’s got wings
She can fly
When she’s not strapped

Don’t knock against me
You’ll find out I’m empty
You’ll find out I’m a shell of a man
Got nothing to lose but a broken heart
Feel free to take it with you
Cause it’s tearing me apart

Faith was never with me
I found it all out early
I found it in the palm of my h

Shots rang out shots rang out
Don’t remember much that night
I was takin’ in the mess
But there was just one pretty site
The tattoo on her chest
I only saw the wing
It was sticking out bright orange

And I wish that bird
Would just take her away
Far away far

I met St. Louis on a plane
He was sitting there quiet
I was doing much the same
‘Till he touched my arm just once
And I started to cry

He said did you know the arch moves
I said no take me there, I need to be moved
It’s been a long long while since my face touched t

Feet clenched up tight under the covers
The jaws clenched up just right
My minds just busy to busier
And all this snoring keeps me up at night
And I can’t say, I’ll live on forever
There was a time when my chest got tight
But I’ll be there in one way or the other
It’s
