Dark heartDark Heart Inside you’re dead alive. Drinking to numb your pain. Deceitful and lying. Playing on a broken string. Father of tears, dreams of lust and fame. I don’t mind that we’d meet at the bottle. But a man like you can never change. Dark heart where are you going? Do you believe in love? No one can save your dark heart. Dark heart where are you going? Do you believe in love? Dark heart! You asked for all my secrets. Smiled as you kissed my breast. Told me everything would be okay. I’ve tried to forget the rest. To sabotage, and to leave me thin. I don’t mind that my spring turned to autumn. But a man like you can only sin. Dark heart where are you going? Do you believe in love? No one can save your dark heart. Dark heart where are you going? Do you believe in love? Building your castles of broken beer bottles. Wife-beater t-shirts and rock and roll battles. Bruises and failures in your skeleton closet. You could have had all of me, did you even want it? Did you know how much it hurt me? When you disappeared that night. Was a short time but I fell for you. You made everything feel right. My loneliness and grief, oh it made me weak. I don’t mind that we fell to the bottom. But a man like you can never win. Dark heart where are you going, do you believe in love? No one can save your dark heart. Dark heart where are you going? Do you believe in love? No one can save you, dark heart! No can save you. No one can save you. No one can save you. No one can save you. Dark heart where are you going, do you believe in love? No one can save your dark heart. Dark heart where are you going? Do you believe in love? Do you believe in love, dark heart?

Honey pieHoney Pie Let’s get right down to it. She got a fancy walk. She got a way of looking at you, bring your heart to stop. Then she’ll give you life again, with her sugar smile. Walk with her down to the corner, talk with her a while. She like a little cherub, you know she like to dance. She’ll hug you close in her chubby arms, and hold her buddha stance. She got everyone laughing, you know she like to play. Walk with her down to the ocean, watch her in the waves. She’s listening to everything you say. Honey pie, don’t you cry. Little golden girl. Honey pie, so alive. In this tired world. Honey pie, don’t you cry. I will be home soon. Honey pie, so alive. Born under a silver moon. No one need to wake her. She’s up everyday. Before the sun can shake itself, and bring us a new way. She will keep you up all night. You know she like to sing. Walk with her down to the river, hold the light she brings. Climbin’ tiny mountains, she play a xylophone. She bringing love to everyone, inside her happy home. She got a way of learning, no matter night or day. Walk with her down to the garden, quietly she prays. She’s listening to everything you say. Honey pie, don’t you cry. Little golden girl. Honey pie, so alive. In this tired world. Honey pie, don’t you cry. I will be home soon. Honey pie, so alive. Born under a silver moon. In the world of dreams, you are one of the shakers, the doers, the game changers too. And you bring this planet back to it's roots, for you know just what to do. Let’s all heed her story. She got a giving way. For her you’d give up everything and walk into the fray. Warrior of righteousness, child of love and light. Walk with her out in the starlight, do not fear the night. Walk with her out in the moonglow, no need to cry tonight. Honey pie, don’t you cry, little golden girl. Honey pie, so alive, in this tired world. Honey pie, don’t you cry, I will be home soon. Honey pie, so alive. Born under a silver moon. In the world of dreams I listen to you, and hear your deep concern, about a planet of mice not men, who hide among their words. In the world of dreams I ease your fears and tuck you in at night. I show you treasures from my old navy chest, seashells, buttons and the like. In the world of dreams you sleep to songs that your mother softly sings. While you lay in your bed all snug as a bug, and dream of angel wings. In the world of dreams, you are the one, who can save us, and bring us back to, LOVE.

The world could changeThe world could change Put your arms around me, so we cannot be seen. They are coming for us, and the night is growing cold. Put your arms around me. This could be the end. The world had changed, my darling. Put your arms around me. Hold your head up high, ’til it touches the sky. These old men should be ashamed. But we’ll show them when we die. We can never be silenced. Hold your head so high! The world has changed, my darling. Hold your head up high! I am just a little girl, doing everything I can. He is just a small boy, living in this world of man. Together we will walk, along the golden path, to where it’s very dark, in this dangerous new land. And secretly we light a candle whose tiny flame must never waver. A flame to disable their plans! Shine on a light on thee! Or we’ll never get free! Shine a light on thee! They’ll take everything we have. Shine a light on thee. The end is drawing near. The world could change, my darling. Shine a light on thee! I am just a little girl, doing everything I can. He is just a small boy, living in this world of man. Together we will walk, along the golden path, to where it’s very dark, in this dangerous new land. And secretly we light a candle whose tiny flame must never waver. A flame to disable their plans.

Man behind the curtainMan behind the curtain All you hungry people living in your plastic towns. Working hard for survival, no time to make a sound. Walking soft on priveliged feet, smiling through broken teeth. Only the strong they will survive, and to him you are the meek. Man behind the curtain is cooking something for you. And he knows that you’ll swallow before you chew. His cake is so sweet, it’s made from terror and lies. Open your mouth wide and close your eyes, so you can swallow it down. All the bloodstained money, in this dying world. Is locked up in a golden cage, with his wind up bird. Who cannot sing, would rather read, the tabloids of the week. That say only the strong they will survive, and to him you are the meek. Man behind the curtain is cooking something for you. And he’s sure that you’ll swallow before you chew. His cake is so sweet, it’s made from terror and lies. Open your mouth wide and close your eyes, so you can swallow it down. Drink from his bottle of fear. Feel it run over your tongue. And don’t forget to say thank you sir. When your last supper is done. Roasting in his fire, gourging on your greed. Getting fat on your selfishness. You are what you eat. Losing faith in loneliness. So drunk on your knees. That you believe. This is only a dream. This is not a dream! Now as the night grows near, all can smell the fear. He is coming for your children next with his bottle of poison tears. Will you stand and light a torch, or will you be condemned? To a lifetime of slavery in this cold and bitter end! Man behind the curtain is cooking, something for you. And he hopes that you’ll swallow before you chew! His cake is so sweet, it’s made from terror and lies. Open your mouth now and close your eyes, so you can swallow it down. Drink from his bottle of shame. Feel it run over your tongue. And don’t forget to say thank you sir! When your last supper has come. His cake is so sweet.

BrotherBrother Sunrise speak to me, show me the day. I’ve been travelling this lonely road. Long hair drifting through my broken doorway. Faded lightning skull on your arm. I’ve seen you fire. It’s burning brighter. Please, won’t you stay. Stay a little longer, with me. I’ve got questions need answering. I’m getting older but I’m waiting patiently. Won’t you play a song for me brother, before you go. I’d seen you before at a jam down the street. I know you sure can play your guitar. You drank too much wine, and you told me you loved me. The cops found you later on that old rooftop. I’ve seen your fire. It never tires. Please won’t you stay. Stay a little longer with me I’ve got questions need answering. I’m getting older but I’m waiting patiently. Won’t you play a song for me brother, before you go. I heard the news lastnight that you were gone. I stayed up all night and sang our songs. Brother Henry, can you forgive me? I wasn’t there when you needed me, most. I've seen your fire. It’s burning brighter. Won’t you stay. Stay a little longer, with me. I’ve got questions need answering. We’re getting older but I’m waiting patiently. Won’t you play a song for me, brother, before you go. Before you go.

Watch what you're doing manWatch what you're doing man Maybe if you do what you’re told, you won’t have to answer, to those sitting out in the cold. Still God someday is gonna ask ya, did you bear false witness to your neighbour? And when the table was turned. Did you stand in your own power? Or did you walk away? Watch what you’re doing, man! Think before you say, or it could come back to bite you someday. I can see where you’re going. You're so afraid of the night. Don’t give up on your freedom. You all know wrong from right. I can see why you’re struggling. I can see why you’re afraid. Without a little courage, will the children see a better day? Watch what you’re doing, man! Think before you say, or it will come back to bite you someday. Is it so hard for you, to look outside the box? All I hear is angry talk. Trapped in your emotions, drowning in the news. Only you have the power. You can always choose! Are you so tired, that you can’t see the end? I will be there to help you, my friend. Stand up in your courage, you don’t have to lose. You still have the power, but you gotta choose. You still have the power, even when you got the blues! You still have the power! But you gotta choose! Watch what you’re doing, man! Think before you say! Or it could come back to bite you someday. I said, watch what you’re doing, man! I said, think before you say. Or it could come back to bite you someday. One of these days. Watch what you’re doing, man! Think before you say. Or it will come back, to bite you.

The truth songThe truth song There is power in the letting go. Can you see the writing on the wall? Some would lose it all just to be told, told what to do. There is fear in the letting go because for so long, we’ve held on too tight to nothing. Yeah. What a wondrous time to be alive. It's all coming down. Every villain, every house of cards. Crumbles to the ground! Together we will sing the truth song. There is a courage in the letting go, realising just how far we’ve come. No chain of command, only us alone. In solidarity. Worshipping in the light of God. And loving eachother, no matter what, our difference. Oh. What a wondrous time to be alive. It's all coming down. Every villain, every house of cards. Crumblin’ to the ground! Together we will sing the truth song. Oh yeah! Won’t you tell me what to do. I dont want to think for myself this time, no. Wont you tell me what to do, and make more of these invisible lines. Won’t you tell me what to do. I don’t want to think for myself, this time, no. Won’t you tell me, what to do. Tell me when I can, live my life again! What a wondrous time to be alive. It's all coming down. Every villain, every house of cards. Crumbles to the ground! What a wondrous time to be alive. It's all coming down! Every villain, every house of cards. Crumblin’ to the ground! Together we will sing the truth song! Together we will sing the truth song. Together, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.

We're all the sameWe're all the same Life it turns in circles, showing us round and round, who we are. Every person we meet, a reflection, of where we were, and where we are now. Every heartbeat a moment to remember that we’re still alive. And that no matter how scared we feel sometimes, we just gotta keep on trying, yeah. I’ve got stories I could tell you, of heartache, fear and pain. But you’ve got stories just like mine, in the end we’re all the same. We fight to smile and to survive, to live and love and be. Life ain’t worth living if we can’t love ourselves, enough to set our demons free. I got no time for playing games, I got no time for pain. Getting too old for unanswered questions; crying in the rain. I’m a good woman, got my music, that’ll do me just fine. I don’t need no pills, or potions, lies or tears, men or cheap wine, no! Don’t think I don’t love you, if I need to walk away. I’m only stumbling down my own crooked path, but I’ll see you again someday. 'Cause life ain’t worth a shit if you can’t, look fear in the eyes. And say your peace, and speak your mind, and learn again to try. I’ve got stories I could tell you, of heartache, fear and pain. But you’ve got stories just like mine, in the end we’re all the same. We fight to smile, and to survive, to live and love and be. Life ain’t worth living if we can’t love ourselves, enough to set our demons free! Looking from the outside, we sure seem different. But I see through you, can you see through me? Made from the same cloth, we are fragments of love and light. Time we come together and face the night. To love again and face our fears, feels impossible these days. Especially when we’ve been hurt before, in so many hateful ways. ‘Cause life ain’t worth a shit, if we can’t look fear in the eyes. And say your peace and speak your mind, and learn again to try. I got stories I can tell you of heartache, fear and pain. But you’ve got stories just like mine. In the end we’re all the same. We fight to smile and to survive, to live and love and be. Life ain’t worth living if we can’t love ourselves, enough to set our demons free. I got stories I could tell you of heartache, fear and pain. But you’ve got stories just like mine, in the end we’re all, the same.

Shine brightlyShine brightly To shine brightly in the face of despair. To shine brightly without any care. To shine brightly like a firefly at night. To shine brightly as a bird's wing in flight. To shine brightly among the crashing waves. To shine brightly in pain or enraged. To shine brightly and dance among the stars. To shine brightly in a silent war. To shine brightly as a child holding hands. To shine brightly with no concern of man. To shine brightly and be reborn again. To shine brightly to honor a true friend. To shine brightly like a golden prayer. To shine brightly when life feels unfair. To shine brightly feeling from the heart. To shine brightly when we’re apart. To shine brightly embracing every change. To shine brightly in our older age. To shine brightly as we transcend. To shine brightly even in our end.

The Bluebird's EggThe Bluebird's Egg The bluebird's egg. The fragile smile. The little girl. This wondrous world. A dark below. Then winter snow . Flowers bloom inside her womb. Become something new. Become something new. Become something new. In a better place, my bluebird. The petals fell. So back to hell. In moments drifting. Through memory spell. The birds were singing. She'd lost her way. The appleseed fell down the well, on that day. Become something new. Become something new. Become something new. In a better place, my bluebird . The years were passing. She didn't care. Unbridled passion. Still so bare. A crystal stone. Inside her laughing. Bleeding, shattered. Nothing mattered. The last was golden. A good man truth. Her heart was open. In soft vermouth. Her belly biggest. Her life anew. The bluebird egg, it cracked in two . The bluebird egg, it cracked in two. Cracked in two. Become something new. Become something new. Become something new. In a better place, my bluebird. Become something new. Become something new. Become something new. In a better place, my bluebird.

Nowhere left to goNowhere left to go Running from the fire, rage is too hot to hold. Skipping ruby wire, way down in the land below. Dying wild flowers, fuzzy scream in the ember glow. Where will we run to, when there's nowhere left to go. Barbecue pyre, cherry death in the twisting sky. Screaming and crying, the man in red cannot tell a lie. Horses running blinded, burning feathers fall in a row. I cannot breathe, I cannot see the ground below. Ashes climbing higher, childhood dreams settle in the road. Soot covered liar, thirsty jumping like a sugar cane toad. Water sabre fighter, kookaburra laughing low. Where will we run to, when there’s nowhere left to go. I cannot breathe, I cannot see the ground below. Where will we run to, when there's nowhere left to go. Where will we run to, run to, when there's nowhere left to go.

Sometimes we fightSometimes we fight Sometimes we fight and then we move on. We say things we don't mean and then when it's done. We don't know what happened, or how it begun. Sometimes we fight, and then move on. Love is so easy, but living together and learning to survive. Is not like on TV, it's so hard to face inside. And look in the mirror, to see our own pain. Sometimes we fight then love again. I never want to hurt you, oh. I never mean to hurt you, oh. Don't you know, I love you. I love you. Sometimes we fight. We are so different but still carry on. And whatever happens we stand up again strong. Sometimes we fight, sometimes we fight. We don't see eachother, no. But then when it's done. You take me in your arms and it's love. Sometimes we fight. Sometimes we fight.

This love will lastThis love will last You got everything I want. You got everything I need. You gotta soft disposition. You got those funny little feet. Run through the flowers child, like a baby alone in the wild. Hiding in the high green meadow. I know your love will last. You got everything worked out. Not a care in the world.

SusanSusan Susan, why so feel so poor? Don’t you know honey, you rule the world. With your iron sword. You got that voice of an angel from Montgomery. But you are so afraid of going hungry, so you close the door. Everyone whispering, ‘Susan, why so insecure?’ Susan! Surrounded by the best. Given a whole lotta chances. Just like Joe and Beth. But you ain't holding on. I can see it in your face. You are so concerned, someone gonna show up and take your place. You are so afraid of going hungry, so you hold the floor. Everyone whispering, "Susan, why so insecure?" Why so insecure? Take a moment to see what you've got. Take a moment to believe, to believe in yourself. Susan, it's time to shine. Go out there and show them. What's yours is mine. There’s no difference. There's no queen. There's only one way to be, to live this dream. But you are so afraid of going hungry, you lock the door. Everyone whispering,"Susan, I said, Susan!" "Susan, why so insecure?" Why so insecure?

Little boyLittle Boy Little boy I can't help you . But you can still come and cry on mama's shoulder once in a while. Little boy I saw so much spirit in you. What happened when you blamed us all for your broken heart? He felt so confused. Looking for a world that would make him. He felt so abused. Looking for a girl that could save him. Little boy, I was so happy with you. Skipping round the stones of truth on my merry way. Little boy, I believed so deeply in you. Still you played me in the end just like your little fool. He was so confused. Looking for a world that would make him. He felt so confused. Looking for a girl that would save him. From down in the dirt we rise to the top, only if you won't stop. Perfection is a role and nothing else can matter. Until he reached his goal, your heart is on a platter. Don't walk like the little boy! Don't talk like the little boy! Don't you dream like the little boy! Come on honey, don't scream like the little boy! Cry! Like the little boy, come on cry! Cry! Like the little boy, come on cry! Cry.

Might need to flyMight need to fly I love my life, I love my life, living here with my little dog in the big city. And I love my sons, and my grandkids too. Oh, what a beautiful life this is, for me and you. I might need to go, I don't know for sure I just don't know. And I love my friends, and I have so many. Did I mention I love the blues and dancing too? How I love to read, and I love to walk. And I love to eat good food and talk with you. I might need to fly, way up in high in the sky, you know this is my time. I might need to go. I don't know for sure I just don't know. But I'm not feeling myself, I know something's wrong. I fell down the other day. My feet won't act right and my arms are tingling. I can't walk without losing my way. And I love my garden, and I love my little red car. I love to drive and listen and laugh with you. And I love to sing, and I love to spend my time, to be a good friend and care for you. I might need to go, I don't know for sure I just don't know. And I might need to fly, way up high in the sky. You know this is my time. I don't wanna leave you but it's hard to swallow. And it's getting so much harder to breathe. I've lived so fiercely I've been so strong. And what a beautiful life this has been. I might need to fly, way up high in the sky, you know this is my time. I might need to fly, way up high in the sky, you know this is my time. I might need to fly, way up high in the sky, you know this is my time. I might need to fly, way up high in the sky, you know this is my time. I might need to fly, way up high in the sky, you know this is my time. And I might need to fly, way up high in the sky, you know this is my time.

LiesLies In the darkest places, in the cruel minds. Of wealth and powered faces you'll find a blood stained line. Crossed over since the start, of men's quest for ownership. Children's innocent hearts; you won't believe a thing. For truth is hard to hear and blood so hard to taste. If you are from the good, you'll wake up in this our twisted race. Light worker was once called, now covered up with lies. Told to shut their little mouths, so elite can still defile. Have you all gone quite mad? You watch yet close your eyes. Have you all lost your souls, while tuned into media lies? In the core of hell, I heard a strangled voice. A child was trying to yell to us and call for his justice. But few could hear the screams, and few were there to hold. These children of the darkness, let's ease their broken bones. Children of the darkness, let's ease and heal their bones. It's time to open your eyes. Put down your sweaty cellphones. Lies on lies on lies on lies. You drank their cold stones. Have you all gone quite mad? You watched but closed your eyes. But the time has surely come.

Dear MomDear Mom I've been trying to sit down and write you this letter, all damn day. Maybe I could've done better, guess is all I'm really trying to say. How are you feeling today? I think of you everyday. We're just so damn alike, that's why we fight sometimes. Dear Mom I need you. Dear Mom I miss you. Dear Mom I'm not ready, to let you go, did you know? I love you. You push me around and around. Your voice sometimes brings me down. Why do you worry so, I'm not a small child anymore. I was so self consumed, trying to prove I was fine on my own. But I still need you so, please don't leave me alone. Dear Mom I need you. Dear Mom I miss you, oh. Dear Mom I'm not ready no, to let you go, did you know? I love you. Unspoken words, can hurt the most. Let this letter now, bring us close. I'll promise to be there for you like you were there for me. And when you get a bit older I know I won't have so much to say. Let's walk in the garden and smell all the flowers. Drink tea and eat cakes all damn day. I won't let you go all alone, I just want you to know. Dear Mom I need you. Dear Mom I miss you. Dear Mom I'm not ready, to let you go, did you know? That, I love you. Dear Mom, I miss you. Oh, and I need you so. Dear Mom, I'm not ready, I'm never gonna be ready to let you go. I love. I love.

I'll be reborn bluesI'll be reborn blues Well I got so many worries rolling 'round in my head. I feel so bad, don't want to leave my bed. Sun is shining on my window, but I can't move a step. I feel so old, like I got nothing left. Wanna sleep all day and get drunk all the rest. Maybe I could do better, if I headed out west. My old man he's a worker, he's a mover, he's a lover, he's a forgiver He keep teaching me how to be. A stronger woman now, the best that I can be. Gonna pick up my tired bones, from off that old grey ground. And I'm working on a new way, and a new sound. I'll be reborn again like yesterday, I'll be reborn again today. And with love I'm gonna fight these cold demons away. 'Cause, my old man he's teaching me a new way. Yes he is.

Turn this into goldTurn this into gold I've got this cold, cold feeling, deep down inside my bones. I don't know where I fit in, oh lord, where do I belong? I made my bed out here, but where is this,? Where is my one true home? I'm in a strange country and I keep searching, for someone to hear my song. But this living so far away from my friends and family, sure got me feeling wrong. Don't you know how I miss them everyday. But I try to walk the way of the good woman. I try to walk the way of the good friend. I try to walk the way of a good person, but I feel so all alone inside my head. So all alone. So alone I don't know what I said to hurt you. What I did to make you cry. I don't know how you thought you were in the right, to stab me in the eye. But now I got this sad, sad, sad feeling, and for me now this is getting pretty old. You're sending me a bad, bad feeling, turning my blood cold. But gonna take these bad vibes you're throwing at me. Mm hm. I'm gonna turn them into gold. Turn them into gold, I'm gonna turn them into gold. I try to walk the way of a good woman. I try to walk the way of a good friend. I try to walk the way of a good person. But if you gonna fucking cross me, then it’s the end. 'Cause I got no time for that. I got no time for that. I got no time for that. Only you know what you said to me. Only you know how you behaved. It wasn’t right, it wasn’t wrong, I only know it keeps going round in my head. What are we supposed to do now baby? There’s some words you can’t take back. There’s some things you can’t take back. In my head I catch this feeling, it’s so cold. You’re sending me these bad vibes. But, I swear I’m gonna turn them into gold. I'm gonna turn them into gold, turn them into gold. I try to walk the way of a good woman. I try to walk the way of a good friend. I try to walk the way of a good person, but if you ain’t gonna be good to me, then you ain’t no friend. I gotta walk now. I gotta walk now. I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry, but I gotta walk now. I gotta turn this into gold.

The deeper they bury meThe deeper they bury me Have you heard about Robert, Albert and Herman? Three black men, in solitary Angola prison. Death in a cage, their only chance at true freedom. Herman Wallace, ‘til he was 71 years old. Praying and speaking about his story left untold. Sufferin’ but dreaming, his heart and faith they never sold. And he says. The deeper they bury me, the louder my voice becomes. The deeper they bury me, the louder my voice becomes. I’m building my dream house up in heaven behind the sun. Forty-two years he suffered, then for all the world to see. He left the prison, but he died after day three. On up to that house in heaven, singing, oh now the truth will set you free. Truth will set you free.

MumbaiMumbai Deep in thought, the sound of the horns. From a thousand cars, a chorus. From the heat I start to sweat, smell the scent of incense, burning. Flowered trees. Tired dogs, monkeys. Saffron rice with curry. Ooh. Colours of the rainbow, passing by on jewelled, feet. The women are so beautiful. Mumbai, Mumbai, how, can I forget you? How could I forget this place, Bombay city? Lazy cat walks out from the slums. On three dirty feet, looking for some food to eat. Skyscraper painted, on the horizon, of the ocean. Floating debris, this muddy sea. Drift away to dreamland. With the scent of lilies, garden of eden. In the market touching hips. With strangers in narrow, streets. Silken rows of scarves and spices. Mumbai, Mumbai, how, could I forget you. How could I forget this place, Bombay. Mumbai, Mumbai, how could I forget you. How could I forget this place. Bombay city.

The good lifeThe Good Life Working hard for the money, not for the money just to survive. Working hard for my lover, not for the love, just to get a ride. Working hard for the demons, who pray on the good inside. Looking 'round for the good life, I heard about when I was a child. Getting up in the morning, before the birds begin to sing. Getting up from his kisses, did I even learn a thing? Getting up to keep on striving for that voice that comes from within. Looking 'round for the good life, I heard about when I was a child. Sitting down by the window, thinking about those good old times. Sitting down with my paper, writing to you these simple lines. Sitting down to remember, my gratitude in this old rhyme. Looking 'round for the good life, I heard about when I was a child. Searching for that good life, my father told me he never had. I'm looking for that good life, to tear down the bad.

I can't imagine my life without youI can't imagine my life without you Today you came back home from work, you put down your keys and toque. You'd been working all day long, diving in the deep blue sea. You smiled and said your soft hello, everyday it's still the same. You take away the grey feelings. I can't imagine my life without you. I'd like to live in a cabin built for two, and be your wife. Morning comes the alarm bell rings, it likes to sing at 5am. I get up to start your coffee, so you can sleep a minute in. You grab your clothes and lunchpail, but before you leave our door. You kiss me once more. I can't imagine my life, without you. I'd like to live in a cabin built for two and be your wife. Things haven't always been easy, you went away when we first met. I waited as you travelled the earth, but when you came back, we'd be together a long, long time. I'm not sure about making babies, but I know you are the one. Times are good, some times are bad. But I love you my sweet man. You bring out the best in me. Friends and family say I've changed. You take away the old pain. I can't imagine my life without you. I'd like to live in a cabin built for two. I can't imagine my life without you. I'd like to live in a cabin built for two. And be your wife.

Let goLet Go Let go of my hand, it's time for me to go. I don't belong in this world anymore. I don't belong in this place, no, no. I just don't fit in, and everywhere I see. All the people with their children and their families, staring at me. I just don't fit in, and I don't belong. Where can I go in this world to feel at home? Drift over the water, happy soul. Time you leave this tired shell and move on. It's time to go. Let go, move on, drift away. Let go, move on, drift away. Let go, move on, drift away. Happy soul, time to leave this tired shell. Time to leave this world. And from your body no more pain. And from your heart no more hurt. And from your eyes nothing to cry about. Drift over the water happy soul. Time to leave this tired shell, and move on. Let go, move on, drift away. Let go, move on, drift away. Let go, move on, drift away. Let go, move on, drift away. It's time to go. I just don't fit in, and I don't belong. Where can I go in this world? To feel at home.

Rainbow Pacmen and UnicornsRainbow Pacmen and unicorns Paint a messy picture on your wall. Look directly into the sun. Walk at night when no one is there to see you out and having fun. Rainbow pacmen and unicorns. Catch me, I am falling. Falling in love, falling in love. With you. Bring a bottle of the finest wine. Sit her down and tell her lies. Turn the music up loud in the bubble bath, so no one hears you cry. Rainbow pacmen and unicorns. Catch me I am falling. Falling in love, falling in love. With you. Floating 'round in an orange sky.

With you. Rainbow pacmen and unicorns. Catch me I am falling. Falling in love, with you.

WeaknessWeakness You say you didn't want to hurt me. You say it didn't mean nothing at all. Still I can't figure out why you went to see her. Maybe so you could just watch me when I fall. It makes me sick when I think about it. When I see those pictures on her wall. You tell me you were only friends, don't worry about it. But if that were true then why did you lie at all? You made mistakes 'cause you knew I would pay the price. You broke my heart when you decided to roll the dice. But I forgive you, only because of my momma's speak. She said, "Men can't help it honey, they're just weak." Do you have the slightest fuckin' idea, man? Do you have any clue at all? Do you know how many times I cried myself to sleep at night? While you were out spending your birthday with this other girl. You made mistakes 'cause you knew I would pay the price. You broke my heart when you decided to roll the dice. But I forgive you, only because of my momma's speak. She said, "Men can't help it honey, they're just weak." Pain and misery. You weren't there for me. Miscommunication. Blackouts and time Weakness, cowardice, and lies. Time, can't heal everything. No, not this time. Not this time. You made mistakes 'cause you knew I would pay the price. You broke my heart when you decided to roll the dice. But I forgive you, only because of my momma's speak. You made mistakes because you knew I would pay the price. You broke my heart when you decided to roll the dice. But I forgive you, only because of my momma's speak. She said, "Men can't help it honey, they're just weak!" They're just weak, oh. Little boy, little boy, it's like a fairy tale. Little boy, little boy, why don't you learn how to be a man. Little boy, little boy, time to grow up.

Are you still alive insideAre you still alive inside It’s a beautiful sunny day. But my heart won’t let me, go out to play. My body is frozen inside this bed. And here I make every excuse inside my head. Can someone please help me? Please help me to feel the sun. I am fading away. I don’t want to feel this way. Am I the only one, who asks this question everyday? Are you still alive inside? I wish I could tell you all. About this pain inside me, that builds a wall. Force-fed smiles and scarlet eyes. Pills, whiskey, weed and denial. Can someone please help me? Please help me to feel the sun. I am fading away. I don’t want to feel this way. Am I the only one, who asks this question everyday? Are you still alive inside? I just keep fighting, fighting for a way to live! Are you still alive inside? I just keep fighting, fighting for a way to live. Are you still alive, are you still alive, are you still alive, are you still alive! Are you still alive inside? Will you survive?

Why do we hurt the ones we loveWhy do we hurt the ones we love She kept waiting for him to call believing she did something wrong. Talking dirty with him trying to hide she wasn't strong. Hurting inside, but walking tall. Why do we hurt the ones we love? Why do we hurt the ones we love? Can you see me acting crazy, all in the name of you. Writing letters trying to break free, 'cause I can't get over you. Asking questions when I know the answers, this is over. I don't want to let go, so I show up at your door. Why do we hurt the ones we love? Why do I hurt you? Why do we hurt the ones we love? Why do you hurt me? I could have anyone, but all I want is you. Oh you know it's true. I pick a fight with you, so you can feel my pain. But this is getting old. Life without you here smoking in my kitchen. Feels so all alone. Why do we hurt the ones we love? Why do I hurt you? Why do we hurt the ones we love? Oh I loved you. I keep chasing you. Not what a woman should do. Why do we hurt the ones we love? Why did I hurt you? Why do we hurt the ones we love? Oh I love you, loved you. I could have anyone, but all I want is you.

Wild oneWild one She's got the sweet moves, she wants to take you home. She'll give you pleasure you've never felt before. She'll touch you places you can't find on a globe. She's wet and ready from her lips down to her toes. She's a wild one. She's pushing deeper into your mountain's peak. She'll whisper hard words, that no girl ever speaks.

Highway of tearsHighway of tears Shadowed faces growing long on the sand. All disgraces in my native land. Sun goes up, and the sun goes down in the mountains Whispering secrets of an untold story. We're asking for answers into thousands of silent heartbeats. We're asking for answers in the dark, dark, dark, dark, dark. Can you hear them crying? Their voices lost in the fog and the fear. Something's just not right, oh on the highway of tears. I woke up today and I felt so ashamed of my country. Little girls and women never to be found. Somewhere out there in the cold, cold ground. Why are we waiting, why aren't we fighting to get to the core? Evil men hiding. Even men of the law, covering up their story when we know there's more. How can we turn our backs, on what's left of their families? How can we call ourselves proud, in this cemetery? Oh no! How can we stand tall? When we say we know the difference, between wrong and right. Oh no, no, no, no. Will the sun come up again? Will the sun come up again? And show us the light. Little bones and the silence, of a beaded history, of abuse and power. This is our chance, maybe the final hour. Dead flowers on the highway. Dead flowers on the highway. Dead flowers on the highway. Dead flowers on the highway. On the highway of tears! Stand with your sisters, stand with your mothers! Stand with your daughters, stand with your lovers! Stand with your sisters! Stand with your mothers! Stand with your daughters! Who were lost, who were lost, on the highway of tears! On the highway of tears. On the highway of tears. On the highway of tears. On the highway of tears. On the highway of tears. On the highway of tears. On the highway of tears. On the highway of tears. On the highway of tears. On the highway of tears. Stand with your sisters, stand with your mothers. Stand with your daughters. Who were lost, who were lost.

Breaking freeBreaking free Feels like I've been waiting a thousand years for you to see me. Really see me. Walking on eggshells, whispering softly "Do you believe me?" Believe me. I keep trying to prove myself. Nothing I do gets through to you. Your love for me full of transparency. So I'm breaking free, from your glass house. Close to the border you called me family for all these years. And you ruled your kingdom with this golden language to ease your fears. I keep trying to prove myself. Nothing I do gets through to you. Your love for me full of transparency. So I'm breaking free. Broken pieces of my trust fall along the shoreline. Heart waves crashing into the emerald street lights. Reflective highway, this long road it winds. This crown of thorns you gave me, was never mine. I'm breaking free now, I'm breaking free. I'm breaking free now. I'm breaking free now, I'm breaking free now. I keep trying to prove myself. Nothing I do gets through to you. Your love for me full of transparency. Oh, no, no, no, no. I'm gonna break free now. I'm gonna break free now, I'm gonna break free now.

Work horseWork horse I'm your work horse, working and singing all day. I'm your work horse, men on the farm now taking my pay. Oh I can't find a drop to drink, oh and not a blade of hay. I'm your work horse and I ain't gonna sleep tonight. I'm your work horse, biting on the bit now 'til my teeth ain't right. Tied so tight to this old fence, gonna have to slave, or put up a fight. Yes I am. No ribbons on my reigns, no apple a day, no grass in my feed bag. But at least I'm getting laid. I'm your work horse and I know how to run a mile. Oh, I'll be sweating and I'll be starving but I'll do it all with a smile. Yes I will. Ain't built for racing, ain't built for speed. But if I just keep singing, someday I know I'll be winning. Oh, I'm your work horse pulling all day. I'll be sweating, I'll be starving. But I'll do it all anyways. Yes I will. I'm your work horse, pull on the farmer's plough all day. Oh now, I'm your workhorse, my old man the Blues, making me stay. I can't find a drop to drink, oh and not a blade of hay. Oh, I cannot find a drop to drink, and not a blade of hay. Oh, I can't find a drop to drink, not a blade of hay. Oh! Come on, somebody get me something to eat around here.

Sweet angelSweet angel She's running with the wild horse, strong and free. The hand of God to guide her. Drinking at the fountain of the ancient tree. In a dream in the ever after. She's in a place I know, where in the end we all go. Say hello to heaven, my sweet angel. Is this a place I know, where in the end we all go? Is this a place I know, where in the end we all go? She's dancing in the flowers of yellow and green. Her long black hair behind her. Singing with the swallows, she can see. Everything we take for granted. She's in a place I know, where in the end we all go. Say hello to heaven, my sweet angel. Is this the place I know, where in the end we all go? Is this a place I know, where in the end we all go? I can feel her walking beside me. Protecting me from darker days. And I hear her voice in answer. When I need her all I have to do is pray. Pray. Is this a place I know, where in the end we all go? No, no, no, no. Is this a place I know, where in the end we all go? Is this a place I know, where in the end we all go? Is this a place I know, where in the end we all go? Is this a place I know? Say hello to heaven. My sweet angel. Say hello to heaven. My sweet angel. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. My sweet angel. Hello. Sweet angel.

Whisper those words in my ear, take away all my fears. Did God bring me a good man this time? A good man, a good man. Did god bring me a good man, this time? A good man, I don't know. Did God bring me a good man this time? Did god bring me? Did god bring me? A good man this time. A good man, a good man.

In her mother's houseIn her mother's house She is getting spoiled away from all the noise, far from the city, and the daily push and pull. Dreaming by the woodstove. In her mother's house. She can see a rabbit playing in the yard, smell the sea, hear the birds sing all day. In a quiet place, in her mother's house. Oh if time could just forget about us now. And it feels like in this moment she could stay, but this road's calling her home. Wishing she could spend another day, in this place she's coming from. She is seeing all the blessings in her life. Feeling grateful, she can't help but smile. In her mother's house. She can hear the pan flute and the boran drum. Dance with the moon, in the garden she will run. Safe and sound, in her mother's house. Oh if time could just forget about us now. And it feels like in this moment she could stay, but this road's calling her home. Wishing she could spend another day, in her mother's house. She's not waiting anymore, for bad things to happen. She knows love is real, it all happens for a reason. She knows deep inside, they will catch her if she falls. She is loving herself and life is a ball. Life is a ball. And it feels like in this moment she could stay, but this road's calling her home. Wishing she could she could spend another day. In this place she's coming from. And it feels like in this moment she could stay. But this road's calling her home. Wishing she could spend another day. In this place she's coming from.

Green eyed loverGreen eyed lover I fell in lust with a green eyed lover. Most beautiful man I've ever seen. Airports, snowstorms, broken lines. When he's near me I'm feeling so fine. That old man, he's so sweet and mean. Long soft hair, Gregg Allman dream. Weed, whites, whiskey and wine. Denim, leather, highway signs. Blue heart, lies and an ex-girlfriend. Getting too old now, to pretend I'm your friend. Life is too short to waste what's here. Heart beating faster everytime you're near. I'll take you places you ain't been yet. But please don't make me regret. Broken promises, guitar strings and tears. The magic we had, now lost in the fears. Kissing me, dancing to Peter Green. Why did you hurt me, my dear? Choose a card from my trembling hand. King of hearts, honkey tonk man. I'm on fire, catch me if you can. Mistreat me, I'll slip away with the sand. Life is too short to waste what's here. Heart beating faster everytime you're near. And I'll take you places you ain't been yet. Please don't make me regret. Life is too short to waste what's here. Heart beating faster every time you're near. And I'll take you places you ain't been yet. But please don't make me regret, please don't make me regret, please don't make me regret. Green eyed lover.

Gemini heartGemini Heart You just keep talking to me, like you really care. Oh but I can see you baby, kissing her long brown hair. Why do you hurt me so? Oh, don't you know? That I love you. Yes I do. You come around, when it's convenient for you. On those days she's not around, when you're feeling so blue. Then you tell me, oh that you'll always be, my friend, until the end. Can't you see that you're tearing, tearing, tearing me apart. I know you're lying to me, and it breaks my heart. Oh lord, and I am weak? Ask myself that everyday. 'Cause I'm just a strong, sensitive, strong, kind of woman. Just a gemini heart. Oh, oh, oh. I'm just so tired, of playing with you. Don't you know, I want you. And you want me too. Why do you hurt me so? Oh, don't you know? Why do you hurt me so? Don't you know? Why do you hurt me so? Oh, don't you know, don't you know. Ooh, that I love you.

Never met a man like youNever met a man like you Well I've seen all kinds of places. I've been on every road. I kissed a prince and watched him turn from a man into a toad. In all my years of being free, many mistakes were made by me. But I never met a man like you before. I would crawl through the desert, baby on my hands and knees, just to feel the water of the babylon sea. You helped me see my own beauty, you raised me up when I was down. You were tough when you needed to be and made me laugh with your clowning around. You have a way with words. You have a way with people. You are my friend, until the end. I would pray any day at your steeple. I would crawl through the desert, baby on my hands and knees, just to feel the water of the babylon sea. Ain't nothing like a real man. His words are as good as gold. When he puts his arms around me, I want him to hold, and never let go. I will travel this world, will never leave you behind. You'll always be inside my heart, where your smile I can find. I'm going through changes, I'm a little older now. I'm getting wiser but still it's hard to see your picture on my wall. I'll take you with me in my heart, everywhere I go. In all my life, I've never met a man like you before. I would crawl on my hands and knees, 'cause you're the best man I know, just to feel the water of the babylon sea.

Why you so afraidWhy you so afraid What are you so afraid of little boy? That you might step in shit, with those pretty cowboy boots of yours? That people might know you had me and you got on your knees to please me. What you so afraid of little boy? That we might be friends, or that you'll break my heart again? That we might be friends or that you'll break my heart again? That we might be friends, or that you'll break my heart again? That we might be friends or that you'll break my heart again? Why you so scared to get close to me? Yeah. Coming around, then pushing away, when things get real. Are you afraid the blues might not catch you when you fall? Why you so afraid? Why you so afraid? That we might be friends, or that you'll break my heart again? That we might be friends or that you'll break my heart again? That we might be friends, or that you'll break my heart again? That we might be friends or that you'll break my heart again? Oh. I can't live like this anymore. Writing songs about a man who don't care at all. I keep trying like a good woman should. I wish you could see what we could be, if you would just get free. I see through you and all that dusty vinyl on your wall. Why you hanging out with little girls, when you know I'm the only star? I got some news for you, or maybe it ain't news at all. I love you. Why you so afraid? That we might be friends or that you'll break my heart again? That we might be friends, or that you'll break my heart again? That we might be friends or that you'll break my heart again? That we might be friends, or that you'll break my heart again? Break my heart again. Break my heart again. That we might be friends, or that you'll break my heart again? Break my heart again.

FatherFather Father, where are you tonight? I'm on a stage, living my life. Father, can you hear me? Father, I sit and think of you. Everything you gave me and you stole too. Father, where are you tonight? Father, things just went so wrong. I was just a child, but I had to go. Father, you broke me long ago. Father, come back to me. Put an end, to this insanity. Father, you are in my dreams. Father, you hurt me so. But I forgive you, and my love goes on. Father, do you remember? Father, sometimes it hurts so bad. The pain of memories we will never have. Father, I know you're hurting. Can you see me now, finding light in the wind and rain? Took so long, for me to live again. Looking up at the skies, can you hear my cries? Asking why, why, why! Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Father where are you tonight? I'm on a stage living my life. Father, can you hear me? Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Can you hear me?

The LilyThe Lily If I should die before you wake. I pray the lord my soul to take. Take me where the music plays. Do not cry. Do not shed a tear. I lived my life without fear. Please do not mourn me now. Just hold my fire in your hands and in your heart. And remember my songs goes on. Angels will sing and dance and sway to the blues on my funeral day. Please place the lily on my stone, and remember my song goes on. Spread my ashes on the west coast. Get together and tell some jokes. Make some music for me now. Remember I lived so wild and free. And please do not cry for me. Just let me go. And hold my fire in your hands and in your heart. And remember my songs goes on. Angels will sing and dance and sway to the blues on my funeral day. Please place the lily on my stone, and remember my song goes on. Look for me in the open sky. Feel me close in the moonlight. Do not be afraid. Hold me close in the tallest trees. Hear my whisper on the ocean breeze. I will always be there. Just hold my fire in your hands and in your heart. And remember my song goes on. Angels will sing and dance and sway, to the blues on my funeral day. Please place the lily on my stone and remember my song goes on. Remember the lily. Remember the lily. Remember the lily and let me go. Remember the lily. Remember the lily. Remember the lily and let me go. Remember the lily. Remember the lily. Remember the lily, and let me go.

I choose youI choose you Listening to Greeny, walking on the land where I was born. Remembering the flowers in my hand as a child, and the years that went so wrong. Dancing on the memories, letting go of all the pain. Watching the sway of the old growth trees and singing in the rain. Flushing out the toxins and the days from the past. When I lived inside self-hate, and life it moved too fast. Now I choose another way, I choose love and joy. I drink from the cup that is sweet to swallow. I choose you, and I hold you close. I was searching for you, travelling the world. Everyone trying to stop this perfect love that we had found. Down on my knees, praying in an airport lounge. Begging for your arms to hold me close and keep me safe from harm. Flushing out the worries and the pain from the past. When I could not love myself and time it moved too fast. Now I choose another way, I choose love and joy. I drink from the cup that is sweet to swallow. I choose you, and I hold you close. Flushing out the worries and the pain from the past. When I could not love myself and time it moved too fast. Now I choose another way, I choose love and joy. I drink from the cup that is sweet to swallow. I choose you, and I hold you close. Back in the days I was a real wild child. I was hurting and I wanted more and the streets were telling lies. But I've learnt all I could from the drugs and from the booze. And now I'm learning to love myself with a new way to sing my blues. I choose love and joy. Drink from the cup that is sweet to swallow, I choose you and I hold you close. Now I choose another way, I choose love and joy! I drink from the cup that is sweet to swallow, I choose you and I hold you close.

They lieThey Lie Can you hear them whispering? Speaking in tongues. Planning for complete control, dealing in oil and guns. Creeping around in the shadows. Playing dirty games. How can they sleep at night when they're causing so much pain? And they lie to you, and to your children too. Soon they will own everything, and they'll be no world to come home to. Pipeline snaking through the desert. Lies on the news. Knocking on your door without a warrant. But you gave away your rights to choose. Politicians grinning, puppets to count your votes. Turning you against eachother, pushing you to lose all hope. And they lie to you. And to your children too. Soon they will own everything. And there'll be no world to come home to. Can you hear them whispering? Speaking in tongues. Planning for complete control, of the oceans and the sun. Wars of the rich and poor, little bodies on the floor. Looking for a way out but it's too late now. And they lie to you. And to your children too. Soon they will own everything. And there'll be no world to come home to. And they lie to you. And to your children too. Soon they will own everything. And there'll be no world to come home to. They're gonnah make you bleed Nothing left to eat. You better be ready to die. Or are you gonna fight?

Singing my bluesSinging my blues This world spinning faster. Sometimes out of control. But I always listen to my heart, and the voice deep down in my soul. I will survive anything that you throw in my way. Until I meet my maker honey, but that won't be today. Today I'm here to make you move, to make you feel and cry. And I'll keep singing my blues for you, until the day I die. I'm gonna miss those old friends of mine. And that love never goes away. But I'm moving too fast for some to keep up. So I must be on my way. Sometimes when death is so close to me, I get scared late in the night. But this is the price to truly be free, I'm no longer gonna fight. Today I'm here to make you move, to make you laugh and sigh. And I'll keep singing my blues for you, until the day I die. I'm living in the moment. Lord, I'm doing my best. Still following on my path and saying "fuck it" to all the rest. 'Cause I gotta choice in this lifetime, I got a chance to be me. And no one can take that away again, this is my time can't you see. Today I'm here to make you move, to make you feel and fly. I'll keep singing my blues for you, until the day I die. Today I'm here to make you move, to make you laugh and cry. And I'll keep singing my blues for you, until the day I die. Today I'm here to make you move, you make you scream and sigh. And I'll keep singing my blues for you, until the day I die.

Pull yourself togetherPull yourself together When you look in the mirror, what do you see? You're just a shadow of what you used to be. Smokey lights and bad cocaine. Hotel sheets stained. Double chin and a foolish grin. Broken dreams and tired sins. You keep running this road little girl. Or nobody wins. You need to pull yourself together. When he called you lastnight. Did he even care? While you sat in the green room, honey. Brushing your long hair. Guitar cases and amps, and the smell of old stale beer. Blues standards, boredom, and so much fear. Blue eyeshadow and a black mood ring. Get on that stage girl and sing! You need to pull yourself together! He's at your door again, asking for more. Without him you'll starve baby, and sleep out on the floor. Plane tickets and coffee, and cheap cigarettes. Kissing somebody's husband, but never no regrets! Back out on that road again, stronger and free. Just look who you're missing now, you know it's gonna be me. You thought you could own me, that I was just a little toy. But you're out of your league now, you're just a small town boy. 'Cause I'm married to the music and the music is my boss, yes. I'm married to the music and I will pay any cost. I'm married to the blues, and I will give it all I've got. You need to pull yourself together. You need to pull yourself together. You need to get your shit together.

Would she walk on a mile of glass, I hope she loves you like I, I hope she loves you like I, I hope she loves you like I do. I hope she loves you deep and strong. Takes care of you when the nights are long. Would she write you a real love song. I hope she loves you like I, I hope she loves you like I, I hope she loves you like I do. Oh baby, it's making me crazy, to see you with that other girl. But baby, if she's gonna be with you, I hope she loves you like I do, and never makes you blue. You really made me look like such a fool. I must let go of you now, you know it's true. Still I hope she touches you, tender and true. I hope she loves you like I, I hope she loves you like I, I hope she loves you like I do. I hope she loves you like I, I hope she loves you like I, I hope she loves you like I do.

Sleep little girlSleep little girl Sleep little girl, it's alright, don't you cry. Outside the rain it will sing you, a lullaby. Sleep little girl, tonight is not the night. To worry about all those things you cannot fight. Sleep little girl, you are strong, you're not alone. Sleep little girl, on this road, you call your own. Sleep little girl, you don't need no one. Sleep little girl, it's alright, don't you cry. Sleep little girl, you are strong, you're not alone. Sleep little girl, on this road, you make your own. Sleep little girl, don't you cry. Outside the rain it will sing you a lullaby. Goodnight.

Long black gloveLong black glove You are a long black glove. And I smell your leather scent. Thin crooked fingers, tight around my neck. You are a masked man. And a faceless hand. Dark under my bed. You see me in colours. You turn my skin, turn my skin, red. You are a long thick whip. Between my legs. I can feel your tip. You are a sweet and wicked grin. Your eyes meet mine and I cannot win. You are a low deep voice, calls me names in the night. I want to be pushed, pushed, but still I try to fight. I try to fight, yes. You are a long black glove. Around my throat and in my hair. You teach me things I don't dare repeat, I don't, I don't I don't dare repeat. No, no. You are a long, you are a long black lust in the heat. You are a long, you are a long black lust in the heat. You are a long black lust in the heat. You are a long black lust in the heat. You are a long black glove. You are a long black glove. You are a long black glove. You are a long black glove.

The hermitThe hermit Fire burning, embers reach the moon. Golden light on a stream flowing, sometime after noon. Rippled water reflecting bough, of a young green tree. Elk crossing, sweating passing, roaming slow and free. Stones in a pile, stacked by a traveller on a dusty road. Native story carved into the trunk of a wise old growth. Snow falling gently out from an ivory cloud. And gull crying, eagle speaking, flying strong and proud. Mountain climbing, storm blowing, sand under the stars. Rustle of the leaves caught on the breeze, travelling near then far. Warm baking sun hot in her eye, sound of a lullaby. White frothing waves rising then crashing, under a coloured sky. Day into night, butterfly wings, sun into the deep green sea. Rare blood eclipse and the hermit, living wise and free. Shooting star across a black silent sky. Soft breast by candlelight, breast by candlelight. Honeycomb, sweet from the hive of the bees, my love. Honeycomb, sweet from the hive of the bees, my love. My love, my love, my love, my love, my love, my love for you, like all of these. Peaceful sleep then waking refreshed. Pitter patter of your daughter's feet. Smell of a cigar on your father's knee, musky and bitter but sweet. Climbing steps of the mayan ruins. Missing and counting the days. Stroke of paint on a new blank canvas. Revealing her womanly ways. Love poem written at the crack of dawn. Screaming at the top of your lungs. Splash of cool water on a dirty face. The taste of your wet pink tongue. Lusting from the heart without any fear. Wiping the heat of my tears. Hermit and the fire girl, dancing slow, unbroken for years. Slight shadow jumping on the small of her back. The night he can never get back. Electricity the fire between us, apple in the hitchhiker's sack. Honeycomb, sweet from the hive of the bees. From the hive of the bees. And my love, my love, my love for you, like all of these. My love for you, my love for you. My love for you, my love for you. My love for you, my love for you. My love for you, my love for you. Like all of these. Honeycomb, sweet from the hive of the bees. My love. Honeycomb, sweet from the hive of the bees. My love. Honeycomb, sweet from the hive of the bees. My love. Honeycomb, sweet from the hive of the bees. My love.

Miner's holeMiner's hole Down into the miner's hole. Down into the dark. Looking for an answer. One to end the hurt. So alone inside my heart. Cannot see the sun. Down into the miners hole. Where I can't be found. Sit there in the blackness. And the voices all around. Taunting me to join the dead. In the miner's hole. I forget the sweetness of life and love and food. I let go of all the light, in the miner's hole. No one there can reach me. All is numb and quiet. No way back to love or pain. In the miner's hole. Down into the miner's hole, down into the dark. Looking for an answer, one to end the hurt. Down into the miner's hole. Down into the miner's hole. Down into the miner's hole. Down into the miner's hole. Down into the miner's hole. Down into the miner's hole. Down into the miner's hole. Down into the miner's hole.

Crazy man eyesCrazy man eyes I was walking, I was rolling, prowling my usual way. Scoped a tattoo convention, yeah, bored, bored another day. I saw him in the entrance, he was taking a break. I nearly fell over when I saw that image, the tattoo on his leg. To me it looked like Merlin, a wizard wise and old. I thought that I would ask him, I was feeling pretty bold. Turned out it was the watcher, yeah the hermit with his light. We started into talking, everything was feeling alright. He asked me for my number and I took his in my phone. He bought my latest CD and listened later when he was alone. He called and left a message, that I just could not ignore. So I found my way through the city streets, to the Bovine club's front door. It's the way he looks at me, from behind crazy man eyes. It's the way he holds me down, down. I'd believe all of his lies. It's the way he kisses me. Underneath Frazetta skies. It's the way he looks at me, from behind crazy man eyes. Behind crazy man eyes. We walked back to the hotel. I said "I'm just a friend tonight." We talked until the sun came up, listening to blues on satellite. I tried to keep my focus, you see I'm not an easy lay. But finally I surrendered, he just got me going in that way. My eyes were on the ceiling, though I never kiss and tell. Girls, he's got the methods, send you to heaven from out of hell. I never closed my eyes, I just curled up in his arms. Then I woke up past mid day, and he was back into my charms. He left me at the bus stop on his way home to Illinois. I was blushing like a schoolgirl, I was hot and feeling coy. I saw him two more times, in Seattle and then his home. Then I lost him to the envy. I went back to roam alone. It's the way he looks at me, from behind crazy man eyes. It's the way he holds me down, down. I'd believe all of his lies. It's the way he kisses me. Underneath Frazetta skies. It's the way he looks at me, from behind, from behind crazy man eyes. From behind crazy man eyes.

That would be so sweetThat would be so sweet I’m running in the heat. Buzzing of the swamp and the asphalt at my feet. Truck drivers passing, smiling and they wave. In a small town in the US, my blue heart I gave. Driving on the freeway now past a pistol sound. Hometown of Chicago, blues clubs that we found. Searching for a gravestone on a muggy day. McKinley Morganfield and his wife, buried in the clay. I would give my broken wings, the feet on which I run. To have that day with you again, in Alsip in the sun. I could listen all day, all day long. To you singing, singing, singing in the van. Tap the steering wheel, honey, honey, honey, will you drive. I would take you baby, over any man. I’m running, running, running in the heat. Buzzing of the swamp and the asphalt at my feet. I’d like to live my days here with you. That would be, oh, that would be so sweet. That would be, oh, that would so sweet. That would so sweet, that would be so sweet. That would be so, that would be so sweet. I can hear the rain outside.

Don't wanna hurt nobodyDon't wanna hurt nobody Don't wanna hurt nobody, don't wanna be hurt. I was lost in a crazy game. I remember the good times we had. And it hurts like hell. I wanna hold you still. But baby you've grown ill. And I can't help but wonder, what could've passed. If you had just faced yourself, faced yourself at last. Don't wanna hurt nobody. I never did. But something happened to us, and it just wasn't good. Don't wanna hurt nobody. Don't wanna be hurt. Still I'm saving myself from this hell. When I look back baby, don't know who you are anymore. You've changed, that's okay, same for me. Maybe someday you'll see. Me for me. Maybe someday I'll be. I will be set free. If you'll just let me go. Just let me be. I know it's hard, but it will show. Show me that your love was once real. Don't wanna hurt nobody, I don't wanna be hurt. I was lost in a crazy, crazy game.

Desert songDesert song Desert is unforgiving tonight. I can't put up a fight. Ride this highway alone. No way to call my home. On my path full intention. I choose love and attention. Peyote dream, tires scream. Rattle and bones. Horns and storms. Horns and storms. Lightning flashes, you can see it in the dark. Flatline horizon, picturesque in day. But here at night, can't keep the ghosts at bay. Peyote dream, tires scream. Desert is unforgiving tonight, I can't put up a fight. Desert is unforgiving tonight, I can't put up a fight. Ride this highway alone. No way to call my home. On my path full attention, I choose love and attention. She is drowning. Fingertips stretched. Eight pink dots in the thick black oil. Swirling mixture, not a sound. Not a bubble, she's gone down. Down, down, down, where the wild things are. Melting pot, boiling won't stop. Heating the heart, thick black part. She is gone for today. Black cold rider, takes her away. Desert is unforgiving tonight, I can't put up a fight. Desert is unforgiving tonight, I can't put up a fight. Ride this highway alone, no way to call my home. On my path full intention, I choose love and attention. I choose love. I choose love. I choose love. I choose love. Desert is unforgiving tonight I can't up a fight.

Love makes the world go roundLove makes the world go round You can look up in heaven. You can look deep under the ground. You can search this big wide world. But your answer won't be found. The thing you seek is simple. Pay attention when it comes around. It's love, sweet love, love makes the world go round. You can buy a mansion, or drive a fancy car. You can seek your fortune and baby, be a great big star. The house, the car, the fame, they are easily lost or found. You can have your bling bling baby, but love makes the world go round. You can do your drugs, and drink your alcohol too. Have sex with many partners if that's what you wanna do. But in the end, you'll hear the hollow sound. When the door slams shut and the party's over, but still love makes the world go round. You can look to science, and religion too. You can search for knowledge and strive for wisdom true. Everyone's looking for it baby. Theories they abound. Nothing else really matters, no really matters, 'cause love makes the world go round. Love makes the world go round.

If you don't stop your wicked ways now honey, I'm gonna turn around and leave you for good. Well you tell me you've changed! That I'm the only girl for you. Then I see you sneaking around, make me feel so down and blue. Why can't you make up your mind? And move on the way a good man should. If you don't find a way to settle down, I'm gonna turn around and leave you for good. Oh yeah, yeah! Well you keep on riding me babe, not a thing I can do. Nothing I seem to say to you, is ever good enough for you. Why won't you settle down, and act the way a good man should? Well if you don't stop messing around on me honey, I'm gonna turn around and leave you for good.

When you gonna learn (lyrics co-written with Andrea Smith)When you gonna learn Girl I've had many men, enough to know the game. And I see you stepping in, on my man just the same. When you gonna learn, when you gonna learn? Well, I don't mean to hurt you, but love him yes I do. Even if he spends his days with me, and honey, his nights with you. When you gonna learn, when you gonna learn? Maybe he thinks he has enough for two, that he can have his cake and eat it too. Baby you know you're fooling yourself, when you put your heart way up on a shelf. When you gonna learn, when you gonna learn? I'm never gonna walk away, I'm his woman and I'm here to stay,. You're just another passing whim, honey you know you'll never be with him. When you gonna learn, when you gonna learn. You know I'm the one who makes his day, even if he ain't here to stay. At least when he's with me honey, he's at his best. I'm never gonna settle for anything less. When you gonna learn, when you gonna learn? We both know this cat won't be changing his spots. He never gonna be something he's not. I don't wanna leave and you won't walk away. I wish for our sake there was another way. When we gonna learn, when we gonna learn? Hey Andre, I said, when we going to learn? I don't know Layla, we probably gonna never learn. Oh those men are drivin' me crazy these days! Me too! When we gonna learn, when we gonna learn, when we gonna learn.

FlightplanFlightplan He walked out the door, oh, suitcase in his hand. On his way again, to that distant land. Baby, I'll be coming home soon, just you wait and see. Take care of my son for me. She was waiting by the kitchen sink, she just needed one more drink. He wouldn't be back again, for so long. She would put, his song on, the stereo. To remember a night, with him, yeah. He was entering the airport, he was walking to the plane. He remembered, oh, that look on her face, oh, what he caused her, that pain. But he had to go, nothing he could say. This is just who he is. Nothing he could change about it. Nothing he could say to get out of it. And his little boy, playing with his toys, waiting for his daddy's call. But daddy, don't call at all. She turned on the TV set, and there he was, out on the stage. Oh, all the fame, and all the lights. Deep down in her heart, oh was just a little twang of spite, but then that love, rolling in. If only someone had taught her to sing, maybe she could understand, what it's like for him, out on that stage, oh that man. With all the crowd, and all the faces.

Everytime love walks awayEverytime love walks away This hotel room is spinning round. I'm trying hard to keep my head up off the ground. I can't sleep and I can't pretend. Thinking back on love I thought would never end. I cry all day, every time love walks away. I walk outside down empty streets, going past the place where you and I would meet. Feeling you, holding me tight. Is now a memory that gets me through the night. I cry all day, everytime love walks away. Friends keep telling me to move along. You know they just don't understand. 'Cause I've never felt a love like this before. And now I'm trying to do the best I can. Oh, friends keep telling me to move along. You know they just don't understand. 'Cause I've never felt a love like this before. And now I'm trying to do the, best that I, best that I can. I will be strong and carry on. No one can tell me if my tears or right or wrong. I'm older now and I'm wiser too, and still I'm wondering if I will get over you. I sit and pray, everytime, everytime! I sit and pray, everytime, love walks away! Keep on walking.

What the body remembers (lyrics co-written with Vince R. Ditrich)What the body remembers Breeze in my hair, music in the air. Fire in your eyes. There beneath the sky. Give in tonight, 'cause I know that it's right. World is you and me. Together secretly. What the body remembers, oh, my words will never say. What the body remembers, oh, I'll remember to this day. Where did you go? Got caught up in the show. We didn't see the signs, or read between the lines. My voice is in your mind. Leave the rest behind. So much I could say. There was no other way. What the body remembers, oh, my words will never say. What the body remembers, oh, I'll remember to this day. What the body remembers, oh, my words will never say. What the body remembers, oh, oh baby, you know, oh I just can't say. What the body remembers, oh, I'll remember to this day.
