Time goes by so quickly now
On this freight train line
Through my hometown
There are days I wait for night to come
When I fall asleep just to wake again

Oh to walk beside an honorable man
Honey, sometimes I just do the best that I can
And you show me a little bit of

A turn upon the hill
As the sun reclines
I lie upon the grass
And your eyes meet mine
Then I run as fast
As my legs will carry me
From a camera's lens
And a stranger's plea

Can you see inside my soul
Can you make your body roll
Can you see inside me

I should have known why I loved
Driving through the cactus fields
Or wearing white leather gloves
Admiring the virgin
As she stands upon the moon
Waltzing behind a second line
Or harmonizing on gospel tunes

Abuelita underneath the trees
Of Costa Rica and her dar

You write about a place so dear
In all it's good and evil
A loving cup, an aching scar
You need no thread and needle
To sew your name into your clothes
Or hem a ragged line
All muscular and luminous
Oh heroine of mine

Ladies Oh ladies
My ladies
My fair a

Different and good
Easy to please
A cheerleader's skirt on the backseat
A childhood worth forgetting
Her twenties damn depressing
She eyes another age
She turns another page

You change your name
You don't stay the same
So it's heartbreak tonight
And tomo

When I lay my burden down
There'll be no mourners outside my window
Put my body in the ground
Because my spirit will be free at last
And I'll be flying in the darkness
I'll ride the wind without a sound
When I lay my burden down

When I see that great green valley

Looking for a hand to hold
There to pull and push against
Even now we're dancing
Longing for a place to know
Where branches reach, lantana grow
And butterflies take their poses

Come
My lover girl

Did you grow an inch today
Once you were a tiny thing

I never thought much of that fancy dancin,
With my two left feet and my rovin eye.
But when the band plays so well in that 3/4 time,
I could dance with my darlin until mornin' comes.
Play me a fiddle tune, sing me a song.
Anish misfortune, my time is not long.
Midnight on

Small town stars shine bright for a day
The moon lights up a watery grave
Woods move in the nighttime breeze
That lifts from the lake through the trees
On the night that defined my name
Fantasy or monster, you say
Watched my boys ride the incline down
All for a paper

Sun comes up in the morning
See that sunrise forming
All the pretty colors
Shining down on the water

I don't know about heaven
But I put in my dollar
Let's see what it buys me
Rest and a little dinner

Walking down the highway
Thirsty for some water
Men

I went out to the hazel wood,
Because a fire was in my head,
And cut and peeled a hazel wand,
And hooked a berry to a thread;

And when white moths were on the wing,
And moth-like stars were flickering out,
I dropped the berry in a stream
And caught a little silver t

Shall we walk the narrow way
Crooked straight, rough places plain
Raised up in the yin and yang
Takes her around and back again
She's got her act down
A shadow of a sound
Her show's on the road
'Cause she knows what she knows

Can you see her
I can see her

I'm a selfish girl
In a selfish world
Each town has her selfish ways
And each girl has her selfish days
Especially me
Longing to be free
From all the old complaining crew
And all the new ones moaning, too
Then there was you
Smiling when I couldn't smile

Tales of the islander
Tales of you and me
Floating on our raft
Down the Mother Mississippi
Caught myself a fever
Took a hospital stay
Tied some sheets together
Crawled down and was on my way
I was on my way

Let's take to the water
Let our bodies roam fre

I had a few more questions
I never knew to ask
You were feeling downhearted
The last time we parted
With a shock of white hair
Life has changed a lot you know
And I'm kind of scared of that
It bottoms out in seconds flat

You said you had a good friend
He die

Just get in there
Gas up the car
If you're gonna go
You'll need fuel for the road
But if you stay
Forget the past
Things that haunt you
They never last
Oh but can they last
Just one more day
Somebody light a candle
Light my way

Like those two who

When you are hidden from me
When I cannot feel the beating of my heart
Walk me where wild things grow
Where grace and light surround me

There I'll see my wild, wild rose
Ablaze in all her glory
Choosing what before I chose
The blessings of God's bounty

Light w
