Black river deep and still
In the summer sun
A promise rise she will
Walk on before she runs
The evening dream awakes
Honeysuckle sweet
By day the levee breaks
Surround her like a wreath
I'm not in love
(black river deep and still
In the summer sun)
I'

I'm going to california
Turn the corner turn the key
Unlock the secret garden
And throw away the key
Don't care how long it takes me
Don't care what i have to do
Crawl across the great divide
Just to get back to you
My god, how did it come to this
Wallowing in

Death don't need a reason,
To come and take you, child, away
Loss always in season
Doesn't take a holiday
It leaves you in your mourning
Long about an evening frost
Look away from living and
Suddenly you find it's lost
A holiday
A hollow day
A hallowed day

Everybody's talking nobody says a thing
Everybody's talking nobody's listening
Brimstone hell and fire chase the lamb away
You can't see the heavens
For the light of day
I find it oh so hard to believe
I find it oh so hard to be free
I find it oh so hard to be me

Up ahead in the distance i can hear the cannon blast
Questioning who killed the king still
Echoing from the past
Freedom rings the bullet slings shot
Out into the night
Baby's dead the headline read
Who's gonna stop the fight
Let the lightening flash
And let the t

You'd think after all this time
I'd finally have my life together
What's wrong with staying home
And talking to that shadow on the wall
I'm not the type that can stay home
And pay attention to these feelings
Sometimes just to be sure you're still alive
You for to keep

My brother dies and left me
My mother moved away
And i been gone now for so long
How long i cannot say
And i am left to wonder
What i'm doing here
Guess i got to pay for
The sins of all my years
I got to pay
For the sins
Of all my years
I been talking

Sitting in the sun
Waiting for life begin
Looking for a sign
Where it starts and where it ends
And the trees sway to and fro
Like the friends we've come to know
Stand tall grow as one
Come together one by one
Above the wind thy will be done
Stand tall grow as

Your name
a night without end
I pray the Lord is keeping
Two doors
You stand or you sleep
I'm still waiting for you to come in
I can remember
Your eyes shining
I hold a handful
of your ashes
How can you leave me here to
Dig your grave
and bury my f

I was holding an invitation
To meet some danger
Around the corner from an evil love affair
Something told me feet get tread
To be moving 'cause
I felt like i weren't going anywhere
I took a walk past the church house
Of my family
The one that left me feeling solo

I want you to come with us
Have a good time with us
Come sing and dance 'neath the stars
Come have a laugh with us
Come raise your glass with us
Come and do nothing at all
We request your presence
And if you will let us
We'll make you feel just like a king
We'
