Fear If you see my daughter Don't tell her I'm scared Forty days without water Feel my hands on her hair I fear 3. Cut Jesse's gone inside out Someone brush her quiet mouth Charity's friend she was I know Fill her cup and leave her alone Distance fails but it keeps her alive Thinks that evil's on her side Gets rid of things that don't matter She used to let me cut her hair Jesse's gone inside out She used to let me cut her hair 4. Slide They tell you come tomorrow Nothing for you now You listen so intently And slide Hearing only yourself You wait for the truth How can you get it When all you do Is slide? 5.

Throw out the line 5. Swingin' Don't look up I'll have to dictate from the ground Don't mind the sound It's all familiar by now And I'm swingin' so high Unforgiven Unimpressed by my first draft She's a sinker I should have taught her how to swim And I'm swingin' so high 6.

Do You Know How to Waltz? One more dance Before they take away the light One more spin around the line One more step And then we'll turn and face the debt One more reason to forget 12. Dark There are many things to be afraid of Like ghosts and death and climbing too high There are many things to be afraid of But don't be afraid of the dark |

Starfire We'll call it starfire Who will know I want a station of my own I have the tools I have my rule I'll load the back and you can drive Broken bodies all the time Let's take a ride Starfire tonight Ten thousand miles away Away 3. Two-Step And the light, it burns your skin In a language you don't understand It's not that hard It is not that hard That's not all Voices small Heed them either way they call Two-step around the room Kneel down on white Two-step around the room Kneel down on white Two-step around the room You can kneel down on white Two-step around the room You can kneel down on white That's not all Voices small Heed them either way they call And the light, it burns your skin In a language you don't understand 4. Weight of Water Take a cupful from your hand Wait for forty days Make a river through the sand 'Til you're called by a secret name And the weight of the water has brought me back to this Just leave me to the river Let it cleanse my face I have no power to ward it Like the baptism of the earth And the weight of the water has brought me back to this And the step where you stood As I bleed from the wound How I cower to that weight Still I’ll make this water home 5. Missouri Oh, speak to me Adam and Eve Oh, Missouri Oh, Missouri You wanted it back, faces painted black Oh, Missouri Oh, Missouri What did you get for your dishes and sweat Oh, Missouri Oh, Missouri Oh, Missouri Oh, Missouri Oh, speak to me Adam and Eve Oh, Missouri Oh, Missouri Oh, Missouri Oh, Missouri Oh, Missouri 6. Don't Understand Carry the weight And wait at the last Bloodied my leg And buried my fist I don't understand I don't understand I send it away Now it's back in my breast And drag you to town Treat you just like a son Alone in my house Did they teach you to run I don't understand I don't understand I don't understand 7. Soon Soon it will be over I laughed under my breath over your shoulder There's a message out tonight Nobody's looking at the sky Soon it will be over I laughed under my breath over your shoulder You think that I don't know your name And now your face is all in flames You think that I don't know your name And now I’ll stand there all amazed 8. Immune Tell me is the time as slow Only when your eyes are closed Do we stand to waste some more Am I still immune Am I naked too Does it taste like home Only when your eyes are closed Have you been away too long Am I still immune Am I naked too Am I naked too Tell me is the time as slow Only when your eyes are closed Is the point to stay too long Am I still immune Am I naked too Am I naked too Feels like being used 9. Lion/Lamb Don't go without, we'd surely die To go without is suicide Are you a lion or a lamb Are you as guilty as i am Are you a lion or a lamb Are you as guilty as I am 10. Days Of... It was one of those days Of salvation and loss Just one of those days When you weight for the worst First they hold you for a ransom Then they buy you for a song Just one of those days When you laugh at what you've done How they ripped you from the pages Oh you waited for the best It was one of those days Of salvation and loss 11. Will the Night Will the night last forever Stay by my side 'Cause tonight, together Would be divine But once it's gone Your face to hide Against the sun The moon Am I on the other side So blind So long Goodbye Goodnight 12. Home Home, everybody wants to go home Even when they're old Even when they're small Home, everybody wants to go home Even when they're old Even when they're small Home Home Home Home |

Long Way Around the Sea We've come so far We've followed the star Harod heard Said "bring me word" Take the long way around the sea Here for us A humble birth The son of God Descends to earth Take the long way around the sea On Christmas day On bended knee Please accept The gifts we bring Take the long way around the sea Take the long way around the sea We turn to go An angel shone Said, "don't go back To harod's throne" Take the long way around the sea Take the long way around the sea Take the long way around the sea Take the long way around the sea 3. Little Drummer Boy Come, they told me Pa romp pa pom pom A newborn king you'll see Pa romp pa pom pom Our finest gifts we bring Pa romp pa pom pom To lay before the king Pa romp pa pom pom Romp pa pom pom, romp pa pom pom So to honor Him, pa romp pa pom pom When we come Baby Jesus Pa romp pa pom pom I am a poor boy too Pa romp pa pom pom I have no gift to bring Pa romp pa pom pom That fit to give our king Pa romp pa pom pom Romp pa pom pom, romp pa pom pom Shall I play for You, pa romp pa pom pom On my drum Mary nodded Pa romp pa pom pom The ox and lamb kept time Pa romp pa pom pom I played my drum for Him Pa romp pa pom pom I played my best for Him Pa romp pa pom pom Romp pa pom pom, romp pa pom pom Then He smiled at me, pa romp pa pom pom Me and my drum 4. If You Were Born Today If you were born today We'd kill you by age eight Never get the chance to say Joy to the world and Peace on the earth Forgive them for they know not what they do Blessed are the meek and Blessed are the humble Blessed are the ninety and nine Deny the flesh Deny all that's evil Tonight you'll deny me thrice If you were born today We'd kill you by age eight Ever get the chance to say... 5. Blue Christmas I'll have a blue blue Christmas without you I'll be so blue just thinking about you Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree Won't mean a thing if you're not here with me I'll have a blue Christmas that's certain And when that blue heartaches starts hurting You'll be doing alright with your Christmas of white But I’ll have a blue, blue Christmas You'll be doing alright with your Christmas of white But I’ll have a blue, blue Christmas 6. Silent Night Silent night, holy night All is calm, all is bright Round yon Virgin Mother and Child Holy Infant so tender and mild Sleep in heavenly peace Sleep in heavenly peace Silent night, holy night! Shepherds quake at the sight Glories stream from heaven afar Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia! Christ, the Saviour is born Christ, the Saviour is born Silent night, holy night Son of God, love's pure light Radiant beams from Thy holy face With the dawn of redeeming grace Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth 7. Taking Down the Tree Careful, one by one It is undone Seems before it's over It's begun Another broken reindeer Another candle Another velvet ribbon Another nosebleed Winding up the lights We set the star so high So high So high 8. One Special Gift After we've spent all the money On nieces and nephews And a couple of friends There'll be just enough left For one special gift For one special gift For one special guest |

Closer Hold me closer than that Hold me closer than that How'd we get here so fast? Hold me closer than that On a dark, raging sea Ships lay sleeping beneath Overhead, spinning past Hold me closer than that Things we lost in the fire How'd we ever get by Words will never take back Hold me closer than that Hold me closer than that Hold me closer than that How'd we get here so fast? Hold me closer than that La la la la 12. Untitled 13. In Metal Filling holes with tiny sounds Shining from the inside out Picture of you where it began In metal In metal Partly hate to see you grow And just like your baby shoes Wish I could keep your little body In metal In metal In metal In metal In metal In metal |

Last Snowstorm of the Year When we were young We wanted to die But the sound of a drum And the words of a child Brought different light Now no one can tell The winter was nice But the summer is hell The ground was so hard The nights were so long But we suffered the dark And we wrote all those songs Still I was a fool I covered my ears No I would not face the last snowstorm of the year No I would not face the last snowstorm of the year 9. John Prine I verified the math And double-checked the syntax I tried to heal your body But it just kept coming back You never had a chance I thought I was a poet I had so much to say But now I want to see the blood I want to make them pay Yeah, I can see the day I made a place for children They wanted all the answers I gave them all my lectures And now they're perfect dancers 'Cause I'm a perfect dancer Sha la la la la Sha la la la la 10. Little Argument with Myself I want to believe I want to believe I want to believe I want to believe Just keep counting the stars Like someday you'll find out Just how many there are And we all can go home 'Cause there's nothing as sad As a man on his back Counting stars But, I want to believe Yes, I want to believe 'Cause there's nothing as sad As a man on his back Counting stars 11. La La La Song All there years you've been speaking without breathing Spinning closer to the sun Had your way with an unsuspecting public Little threads are all it takes La la la la ... I have learned all your secrets, so familiar I know where you lay your head Fear of god and a disappointing father Holds the hand around your neck La la la la ... Sometimes I could just choke myself with laughter Sometimes everything's so true So when you come down from your death-defying labors I'll still be in love with you La la la la ... 12. Point of Disgust Once, I was lost To the point of disgust I had in my sight Lack of vision Lack of light I fell hard I fell fast Mercy me It'll never last Then, in the dust All the things We discussed Were thrown to the wind So at last We begin 'Cause we fall hard We fall fast Mercy me It'll never last 13. Shots and Ladders They're gonna build a ladder It's gonna take you forever You're always such a disaster But all you hear is laughter They want to keep you for more tests Stick a needle in your chest And send you home to your own bed And kiss your beautiful forehead See how you feel in the morning |

Back Home Again There's a storm across the valley, clouds are rolling in The afternoon is heavy on your shoulders There's a truck out on the four lane, a mile or more away The whining of his wheels just makes it colder He's an hour away from riding on your prayers up in the sky And ten days on the road are barely gone There's a fire softly burning, supper's on the stove But it's the light in your eyes that makes him warm Hey, it's good to be back home again Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend Yes, and hey, it's good to be back home again There’s all the news to tell him, how's you spend your time And what's the latest thing the neighbours say And your mother called last Friday, "Sunshine" made her cry And you felt the baby move just yesterday Hey, it's good to be back home again Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend Yes, and hey, it's good to be back home again Oh, the time that I can lay this tired old body down And feel your fingers feather soft upon me The kisses that I live for, the love that lights my way The happiness that living with you brings me It's the sweetest thing I know of, just spending time with you It's the little things that make a house a home Like a fire softly burning and supper on the stove The light in your eyes that makes me warm Hey, it's good to be back home again Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend Yes, and hey, it's good to be back home again Hey, it's good to be back home again Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend Yes, and hey, it's good to be back home again I said hey, it’s good to be back home again 7.

Blowin' in the Wind How many roads must a man walk down Before they call him a man How many seas must a white dove sail Before she sleeps in the sand How many times must the cannonballs fly Before they are forever banned The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind The answer is blowing in the wind How many years must a mountain exist Before it is washed to the sea How many years can some people exist Before they're allowed to be free How many times can a man turn his head And pretend that he just doesn't see The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind The answer is blowing in the wind How many times must a man look up Before he can see the sky How many years must one man have Before he can hear people cry And how many deaths will it take till he knows That too many people have died The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind The answer is blowing in the wind 10. Open Arms Lying beside you, here in the dark Feeling your heart beat with mind Softly you whisper, youre so sincere How could our live be so blind We sailed on together We drifted apart And here you are by my side So now I come to you, with open arms Nothing to hide, believe what I say So here I am with open arms Hoping youll see what your love means to me Open arms Living without you, living alone This empty house seems so cold Wanting to hold you, wanting you near How much I wanted you home But now that youve come back Turned night into day I need you to stay. 11. ...I Love I love little baby ducks Old pickup trucks Slow moving trains And rain I love little country streets Sleep without dreams Sunday school in May And, hey… and I love you too I love leaves in the wind Pictures of my friends Birds of the world And squirrels I love coffee in a cup Little fuzzy pups Bourbon in a glass And grass And I love you, too I love honest open smiles Kisses from a child Tomatoes on the vine And onions I love winners when they cry Losers when they try And music when it’s good And life And I love you too 12. Carnival Queen Carnival queen All the ghosts lay by your side Moaning, groaning Songs of woe Carnival queen Your hair is on fire Your arrows pierce my bones Angel, madonna Your eyes are on fire Breathing quiet prayers Angel, madonna You breathe Pumping life into my veins Carnival queen All the ghosts stay by your side Moaning, groaning Songs of woe Carnival queen Your hair is on fire Your nails pierce my palms 13. Overhead Wanted Bring him back alive if you can All said You can tell your lies to the dead Overhead You don't have to like What you're fed Overhead Overhead Wanted Bring him back alive if you can Trusted You don't know how fast it could end Overhead You don't have to like What you're fed Overhead Overhead Overhead Overhead 14. Don't Carry It All Don't carry it all Don't carry it all Don't carry it all Don't carry it Wake up like giants, so tall With open eyes like Judas and Paul And John After all you done Don't carry it all… 15. Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me Last night I dreamt That somebody loved me No hope, no harm Just another false alarm Last night I felt Real arms around me No hope, no harm Just another false alarm So, tell me how long Before the last one And tell me how long Before the right one The story is old I know but it goes on The story is old I know but it goes on Goes on, goes on Goes on It goes on 16. Because You Stood Still You swallowed your tongue Now you've had your film They said you did nothing Because you stood still Because you stood still Because you stood still Your red ragged wings And cold tiny hands Will never be able To count all that sand To count all that sand To count all that sand They said you were sick Yeah your mighty ill They said you did nothing Because you stood still Because you stood still Because you stood still Because you stood still Because you stood still 17. Fearless You say the hill's to steep to climb, climbing You say you'ld like to see me try, climbing You pick the place and I'll choose the time And I'll climb the hill in my own way Just wait a while for the right day And as I rise above the tree-line and the clouds I look down, hearing the sounds of all the things you've said today Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd, smiling Mercyless the magistrate turns round, frowning And who's the fool who wears the crown No doubt in your own way And every day is the right day And as you rise above the fear-lines in his crown You look down, hearing the sound of the faces in the growd You never walk alone, you never walk alone Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart And you never walk alone, you never walk alone 18. Shots & Ladders 2 They're gonna build a ladder It's gonna take you forever You're always such a disaster But all you hear is laughter They want to keep you for more tests Stick a needle in your chest And send you home to your own bed And kiss your beautiful forehead See how you feel in the morning |

Broadway (So Many People) Last night just north of Houston Broadway so many people Through your third story window I see my favorite record store Where is the laughter? Where is the laughter? Smiling, tasting the irony Broadway so many people Outside just round the corner Letter and Bob Marley t-shirts Where is the laughter? Where is the laughter? Baby, 10,000 years ago Broadway so many people Sleeping down at the factory Waiting and singing so softly Where is the laughter? Where is the laughter? The garden of Eden The voices of children Where is the laughter? 11. Pissing I can't see Sing the darker of Pissing on my toes Knowing what I know I know I'm waiting Like a loyal whore Under every stone Lovers sleep alone Alone Alone Lovers sleep alone Alone Alone 12. Death of a Salesman So I took my guitar And I threw down some chords And some words I could sing without shame And I soon had a song I played it around For some friends but they all said the same They said music's for fools You should go back to school The future is prisms and math So I did what they said Now my children are fed 'Cause they pay me to do what I'm asked I forgot all my songs The words now are wrong And I burned my guitar in a rage But the fire came to rest In your white velvet breast So somehow I just know that it's safe 13. Walk into the Sea I can walk into the sea And I can choke away the memories Do I have to stay alive Just to keep our dresses white? You've come to me in dreams With all the other pretty things You tell me about a savior And how his soul goes on forever And time is just a hunger It leads itself to nothing When it finally takes us over I hope we float away together Yeah, time's the great destroyer Leaves every child a bastard But when it finally takes us over I hope we float away together |

Sandinista Where would you go If the gun fell in your hand Home to the kids or to sympathetic friends Oh Sandinista Oh Sandinista Oh Sandinista, take my side Deep through the clouds Hear them marching up slowly Fresh with the blood Of your fathers, so holy Oh Sandinista Oh Sandinista Oh Sandinista, take my side Take my side 6 .Always Fade Come clean and off with your head The streams of bright rosy red Your heart will do the rest And you'll always fade You'll always fade Someday you'll change But you'll always fade Cut free the weight on your neck The screams, the clutching of breast So sorry bout the mess But you'll always fade Someday you'll change But you'll always fade 7. Dust on the Window Dust on the window The sun's darkened angle Write your initials with mine At this time tomorrow I'll be just one day closer One sunset further behind In the morning I'll make up my mind Always a whisper Worthless and tender A break in my arm that won't heal You lie like a shadow Your breath on my pillow You won't let me keep what I steal Tell me where can a girl get a meal? 8. Hatchet You be my Charlie And I can be your George Let's bury the hatchet like the Beatles and the Stones They'll play our songs forever on the radio Let's bury the hatchet like the Beatles The Beatles and the Stones I know you've got a thing for ordinary guys But I've heard your records and they sound a lot like mine So you be my Marianne, and I'll be your Yoko Let's bury the hatchet like the Beatles The Beatles and the Stones Like the Beatles The Beatles and the Stones 9. Your Poison I've spent a lot of time Good people Trying to make it rhyme Good people It gave my mind a little place to hide If you don't like my lines Good people You better open wide Good people Call the chief, it has become my belief that your tongue is the weapon You cut what you reap with your poison Your poison Your poison Your poison 10. Take Your Time So she waits on the edges of the mattress What it takes to get a bad mess out of a bad dress When she sings it's like a blue dove on a whipping post When she speaks she thanks the good lord for the holy ghost Take your time sweet thing Take your time Take your time sweet thing Take your time 11. In Silence They put the treasure deep inside us Inside us They thought the desert would divide us Divide us With silence They filled our hearts and hands with violence With violence It's time to leave the fields behind us Behind us In silence 12. Murderer One more thing before I go One more thing I'll ask you, lord You may need a murderer Someone to do your dirty work Don't act so innocent I've seen you pound your fists into the earth And I've read your books Seems that you could use another fool Well, I'm cruel And I look right through You must have more important things to do So if you need a murderer Someone to do your dirty work 13. Violent Past All I can do is fight Even if I know you're right All I can do is fight Pretty fingers holding fast Maybe it's your violent past Maybe it's your violent past All you can do is hide God bless the darkness of the night All you can do is hide Pretty fingers, the golden calf Maybe it's your violent past Maybe it's your violent past Maybe it's the violet path Maybe it's your violent past Maybe it's the violet path Maybe it's your violent past |
