Waiting for angry words to sear my soul
Knowing I don't deserve another chance
Suddenly the kindest words I've ever heard
Come flooding through my heart
(CHORUS)
It's your kindness that leads us
To repentance Oh Lord
Knowing that You love us
No matter what we do

I'd start with the boys that hang
at the pier
like bats in the night, get tangled
in your hair
I'd take away the weekend
shoreleave lovers
that flood the ports with drunken
tales of far away
I'd take away the Eiffel tower
I'd take away the port of Spain
I

sleep, my love
dream warm and hard and true
in pieces, in colors
in a cloud of awkward blue

hold, my hand
I feel the things you tell no man
move through you, so easy
it's a knife that cuts me through

and you bring me your charms
in the cool of your soft li

sleep, my love
dream warm and hard and true
in pieces, in colors
in a cloud of awkward blue
hold, my hand
I feel the things you tell no man
move through you, so easy
it's a knife that cuts me through
and you bring me your charms
in the cool of your soft little

you call me sugarbaby but do
you swear
do you swear, do you swear
you call me sugarbaby but do
you swear
do you swear on that
and would you want to take a
bible oath
and would you want to tell the
holy ghost
would you put your faith in
standing me by

why do you talk that way
why you so stuck on money
now it's the top of the world
but it's beneath the girl I love
you used to speak my name
and you filled it up
and you filled my name up
filled it up with your spirit
did he raise a fire
did you roll up in flam

Every love song
on every TV
and Hollywood told me
it should be beautiful and sweet
like watching soul train
with Marvin Gaye on

but baby it hurts to love you
baby it hurts to need you too

you're so lovely
you come in armies
packing punches
and swin

I am the man, that's what I am
I'm a straight shooter, with a master plan
I am the man, that's why I'm here
I am the man, I am the man

I am the last real cowboy
I roped the soul of the world
can I have your lights
can I have your mic's
I mean to be heard

every love song
on every TV
and Hollywood told me
it should be beautiful and sweet
like watching soul train
with Marvin Gaye on
but baby it hurts to love you
baby it hurts to need you too
you're so lovely
you come in armies
packing punches
and swinging

so I came all the way from Trenton,
spent a full night at the station,
in a suitcase made of calico brown
now I'm almost out of money,
and I'm sleepy and hungry,
I wanna lay my body down I don't wanna cause
trouble,
I don't need a bath of bubbles,
just a floorboar

In my dream you were stronger than ever
built ten feet tall
and tougher than a Stacey's leather
and in this dream you were stronger
than real life
and in this dream you turned him
down
when the wheel cogs choked to kick
up blood -
and spit out everything you e

For once in my life
I've done what I should
Took this thing by the horns
and started something new

First time for me
but I'm tryin' to be
something that is real

And it feels like this is the end
Though I know I'm starting again
It feels like this is the e

We don't make love in the afternoon
on the stairs, in the rest room
when you're here you're never in the mood
you don't love me like you used to do

I don't know 'cause I've been wrong before
something's gone behind the bedroom door
it's in your kiss it's in the way you

You looked like a star from the first time
you served me my drink you said you liked my face
so I asked you your name
you were just a girl when I found you
you'd been beat around and landed at my feet
I picked you off of your knees

but you stepped on my life
dug you
