I can tell by that look some of you don't understand
And I can't see how any of you can
When the dark walks up to you
You gotta shake his hand
You ain't ever gonna win the game
Hell kid you don't even know the coach's name
And everything you ever looked up to
Now it's

I start looking back for the things I used to live by
If only I could remember them
Even one of them
You can't lose it all at once, can you really
Cause brother I've been trying
These days even stars fall only a little at a time
Maybe if I send back the blues her broken h

While the wolf had her fangs
Deep in my heart
Who's been writing them songs
Who's been singing
And who's been listening
Blue eyes while you've been gone
That two dollar hat and them old black stockings
Down on the bowery
Hand in hand the full moon went walking

Last night the great bird was steady in his bow
I have got my shit together and I am ready to go
Oh but the way I've been acting (x2)
I'd have to be lucky
Last night the grey moon
Climbed right down in this hole
How on earth did you get down here
He said you know, tha

Darling you faded on me
Darling you faded on me

Don't fade on me
You come out of the blues all them times by yourself
Nothing lives for nothing
And that goes for pain and goes for everything else
But you faded on me
You faded on me

Don't fade on me
You com

Six and a half hours into the west virginia night
Half a mile from home and i was makin' pretty good time
Thought that i'd gone far enough i couldn't lose the trail
And i stepped through the door i still found the way to fail

I can't start to count the things i said i'd never b

If I could follow my whole life's track
I'd still be here at the crossroads, dear
My broken heart has never left
Half the time it took half my life
To have half a right to say
Nothing ever makes it home
That takes the blue star highway
Nothing ever makes it home
T

Born to give it away
Born to give it away
I'll take to my grave
No heart at all

I find a new kind every day
I find a new kind every day
I will find in my grave
No new pain

It was easy making myself the same
It was easy making myself less
But to get bet

Hammer down, heaven bound
Hammer down, heaven bound

I saw the light
On the old gray town
Sometimes I forget that I've always been sick
And I don't have the will to keep fighting

Hammer down, heaven bound
Hammer down, heaven bound

Hammer down, heaven bound

It was hard to love a man like you
Goodbye was half the words you knew
While you was waiting for me not to call
I sent my love, I sent my love

In a life built out of only goodbyes
Is there even room for you to try
While you was waiting for me not to call
I sent my l

Again you're swinging low
And you hit me below the belt
Alright since it's a fair fight
I'd say it's the best that I have felt
In a long long time (x2)
Every now and then it happens again
I can't remember what comes first
Is it the hurt
Or knowing that it hurts

You can live a long time
In such a little while.
Once you've gone as far away as you can go
Until you come home.

Lord, it's made me cry
Lord, it's made them smile.
To have lived as long
In such a little while.

And the next sunrise
She's nowhere to be found

I turned your life so upside down
I don't know how you stayed or why
Looking always over my shoulder
Exactly what I wanted to find was already mine
Josephine, Josephine

But I saw the horizon
And I had to know where it all ends
I lived so long with the shadows
Lo

It broke my heart to leave the city
I mean it broke what wasn't
Broken in there already
But all my great reasons
For leavin' now I can't think of any
It's true was a hard time
That I come through
And i'm still thankful for the blues

Half my life spent on a highw

That's what little sad eyes are made of
Every time it rains I hear the city call my name
And that's what little sad eyes are made of

Harvest and ruin, I've carried both of them
Out of the world that was, into the world to come
That's what little sad eyes are made of

O

I watched you walk out from the world before
And nothing asked you to be much more
Than just a handful of dust
Oh lonesome valley, lonesome valley
Oh lonesome valley, lonesome valley

Out here the ghost wears the feathered crown of blues
And the sickle moon to watch over

What are you hunting here?
Child, I hunt what will not stand
I bring home the northern lights
The ocean and the twistin' sand

I seen the arrow
Climb, climb
I know it finds my heart
Every time

You're taking it too hard
Remember the night
When the fire d

Tea for two stars falling from the memphis sky
Tea for two stars falling from the memphis sky

I know the night bird called you now
Everything is fine
I know it's soon to be fading out
But oh, didn't we shine
Didn't we shine

Some people say that the memphis blues a

All my doubt my life has measured out
And it's taken my hat at the door
All my reasons for wanting less
And all yours for not needing more
Stops my breath and my heart in time
No want, no waste and no fight
This boy is Montgomery bound
You see I make my mistakes on my

Even like your loss
Sadder than every sorrow
Even like the night
At the edge of the world
There's still farther to fall
Even like the twilight
Hymns to sister
Even like the shadows
We all miss her
I leave the road with the ghost of the road
Spanish moon fa
