Dove

Now you know that you were on the
dead-on right track
You had to go through timespace
and still try and make it back
Now you know now
Now you know now better
You got a dove
With a good, good set of wings
You got a dove
No matter where she flies she sings
Now you know now
Now you know now better
You got a dove who knows where
home is at
And she flies returning to you
on her path
Now you know now
Now you know now better
See her fly
Fly right to your side
Doves always fly home
Doves always fly home

She's Got A Boyfriend
02:16

She’s got a boyfriend
He does the mowing
And she ain’t going
Out no more
We were peas and carrots
We were thick as thieves
We’d go out drinking till a quarter to three
Now she got something better than me
She got a boyfriend
We were bat-shit crazy
We were hell on wheels
We’d go out dancing in six-inch heels
Now she’s cooking all his meals
She got a boyfriend
She’s got a boyfriend
He does the mowing
And she ain’t going
Out no more
We would laugh like loonies
We would crack and sing
We’d never ever ever let anything
Come between us and then, zing
She got a boyfriend

Somebody Else's Dream
03:28
|
|||
|
Sometimes I get to wondering
How it almost might have been
If I’d just listened to my own heart
Instead of listening to them
So I went ahead and put my boat in the river
It was a bright and a sunny day
So many times I wanted to stop on the side
But the current kept me away
You can walk away and leave your regrets just standing there
Or you can head off on your own
But like an old dog lost miles away
You’re always gonna find your way back home
And all those stories in those ancient books
Not supposed to question what they say
But that hand that pulls you close
That’s gonna be the same hand that’ll push you away
So I stand in line and buy my ticket
And the irony it just screams at me
Tonight we’ll go and lose ourselves
In somebody else’s dream

The Universe Inside
03:28
|

|
Thought you were gone
You came back
I thought I caught the thought you thought you sent me
You came back
And now you’re here
In the universe inside
I tried to walk on
I held back
I thought I’d lost the thought you thought you sent me
You came back
And now you’re here
In the universe inside
Give it, did you get it
Love it, did you let it be
Give it, did you get it
Love it, did you let it be

Dark Hollow
04:07

|
Jason Krebs was a man who cared
The way he walked had a lot to say
He lived a life of hurt that the years don’t show
He had a cast iron heart and a soul for sale
Through a haze of smoke and a bottle of gin
He saw the lips of salvation speaking to him
He heard a voice that made him wanna cry
Such a sweet soul not afraid to die
There’s a place up on that hillside
Where the children run and the widow cries
Jason loved it on that higher ground
But the hands of the dark hollow
Kept pulling him down
He was born on the mountain on the county line
Grew a little weed and made a little shine
No man ever crossed him ‘cus no one dared
He looked wild and crazy whenever he stared
But those secrets that he kept no one needs to know
When it’s so damn hot and the wind won’t blow
When the flames burned out nothing left to show
But the webs he weaved and the seed he sowed
There’s a place up on that hillside
Where the children run and the widow cries
Jason loved it on that higher ground
But the hands of the dark hollow
Kept pulling him down
There’s a place up on that hillside
Where the children run and the widow cries
Jason ’s resting higher ground
“Cus the hands of the dark hollow
Finally brought him down

I Am Here
02:13
|

|
I am here
It’s now, what am I supposed to do
I don’t know
The world around me
I can’t see the things inside of me
What is life, what is love
Is it ever going to come
I don’t know
About tomorrow
But I’ve had my pain and sorrow
To give up would be wrong
To hold on would be strong
I don’t wanna give it up
I don’t wanna start again
I am here
It is now
What am I supposed to do
What is life
Where is love
Is it ever going to come

Tattoo
02:30
|
|||
|
Bell-bottoms and weed
And another girls mother holds your hand
Her black eyeliner hides the truth
You shouldn’t be here but you are who
Who you were before you saw the tattoo
Don’t be afraid, it was always gonna happen to you
You were always going to lose this part of you
The smiles are shards of glass
The smile that you should trust the most
Will be the one who steals your shoes
And leaves you with a lacy bruise
She knows what’s behind the tattoo
Don’t be afraid, it was always gonna happen to you
You were always going to lose this part of you
She should’ve covered your eyes
It could've happened anytime
She will laugh and watch you cry
This is always gonna be a part a part of you
One day you won’t feel the purple and the blue

Train 'Round The Bend
03:52
|
|||
|
Whiskey’s on the table and the bible’s by the bed
There’s a lost and drunken Sunday for every verse you never read
Open that old suitcase and you check it one more time
Still got that old thirty-eight, it gives you a piece of mind
Leave the keys there on the table, you ain’t coming back this time
Your train is leaving round that bend
Down in Chattanooga, it was the second time around
Still hunting that same old ghost, the one you never found
And your memories are fading just as fast as that money that you stole
You can fit back all the pieces but that’ll never make you whole
Well, she married a wealthy rancher and lives in a million-dollar home
Her train, it came around that bend
Woke up to the evening news and you heard just what they said
A dealer found dead in Memphis with a gunshot to his head
And you never though they’d miss him so you left him there for dead
Left those thirty kilos and took all that cash instead
Now you’re flying high but you’re laying low til the manhunt finally ends
You train’s about to come around that bend
The men came up from Texas seeking vengeance for their friend
They found you in the parking lot of the Mountain Valley Inn
And they called their boss, “Ell Perro”, ‘cus he can track them every time
Now your body’s stuffed inside a box filled with orange peel and lime
Way back in a boxcar rolling down the line
Your train is leaving round that bend
You know your train is leaving round that bend

Chicago

Lord take him home to Chicago
I know that’s where he’d wanna be
He sail out on Crystal Lake
And have Mama and Daddy
So glad to see him
Put him on a train in the morning
Bound for Des Plaines, Illinois
Make sure he’s got his pocketknife,
Handkerchief, folding money
And have Mama and Daddy
So glad to see him
They’ll run out to meet him
They’ll be so glad to see him
Fellas on the train they be singing
A song from when he was a boy:
What do we do with a drunken sailor
What do we do with a drunken sailor
What do we do with a drunken sailor
Early in the morning

Why Should I Dream
02:12
|
|||
|
Why should I dream
Why should I think about tomorrow
As though extraordinary things ever happen
Why should I dream
Why should I wonder about the future
Because make-believing’s just pretend
Why should I dream of something silly
Like that I could really fly
Why should I dream
It not a sensible thing
It’s just imagination in my mind
Why should I dream
Of what’s impossible to see
What could I ever hope to find
Why should I dream of something silly
Like that I could really fly
How would I know, how would I show
The colors of the rainbow
How could I

Stay Close
02:12
|

|
I felt the song pierce you like an arrow
And I felt the sunlight touch your skin
I don’t know about the things you know
I just know the water we’re in
Is cold and shallow
Holding all I know to try to
Keep you warm
And I’d be willing and able
Spilling all I know to try to
Keep your cool
I heard the song coming from out my window
And I heard the sirens and the sin
I don’t know about the things you know about
I only just the water we’re in
Is cold and shallow
Holding all I know to try to
Keep you warm
And I’d be willing and able
Spilling all I know to try to
Keep your cool
Stay close
Stay close
I’d be cold and shallow
Holding all I know to try to
Keep you warm
I’d be willing and able
Spilling all I know to try to
Keep your cool
