Birds Birds Now Hush 03:05

How we met Met we did The story It’s a snore. Made a slide Then we slid About this thing I want more I need sleep You do too Have no plans Quiet day And for our Couple new Door’s too far Can I stay As the night wears out Roses fill the sky Part of me thinks going Part of me asks why Morning doves cooing Telling me to fly Birds, birds, now hush Don’t want to say good-bye Middle comes From the start Schedules You can keep That’s the way Of the heart There’s no look Just a leap Endings rough Sand and rust Night partners Breaking fast Future times Ash and dust No one knows What will last As the night wears out Roses fill the sky Part of me thinks going Part of me asks why Morning doves cooing Telling me to fly Birds, birds, now hush Don’t want to say good-bye As the night wears out Roses fill the sky Part of me thinks going Part of me asks why Morning doves cooing Telling me to fly Birds, birds, now hush Don’t want to say good-bye

Cry Wind Again 03:40

It was early September, near harvest time He came to town to scam, seeking ev’ry dime The landlord’s daughter was looking Looking for a new friend For a happy ending Though it wasn’t the end Verbena said meet me at night, down Camino way Willie James then pledged his troth, forever and a day There a lust ignited She took money to lend Such a happy ending Though it wasn’t the end Again the wind Carries the cry Of those who trusted In a handsome lie The moon embarrassed Fades from the sky Cry wind what happened Cry wind once more Cry wind again Late November, she’s showing and he’s left, unseen Some say he cheated bandits, knifed in a ravine Verbena left the village Perhaps she learns to fend Not a happy ending Though it wasn’t the end Again the wind Carries the cry Of those who trusted In a handsome lie The moon embarrassed Fades from the sky Cry wind what happened Cry wind once more Cry wind again

As If They Know 03:55

They say you left town for the City of Angels How in hell did you get in You with your dreams of stars and glory In your jewels of rhinestone and tin But under the lights it’s not the past that you’re in It’s the style that you wear, the smile that you’re in And all around, I hear your name And the story’s never twice the same All around, I see the traces of your big town dreams In their small town faces Where you go and what you’ve done When it’s heard and told When it’s judged and gone They say it’s so as if they know As if they know They say you were found by a lawyer at the bar Who was coming in to look for a band They say you’re deal was sealed with kisses in the car The wedding was more than grand Now the room got smashed, everybody’s was tanked Gift and gossip exchanged, the host and hostess were thanked (What a wingding) And all around, I hear your name And the story’s never twice the same All around, I see the traces of your big town dreams In their small town faces Where you go and what you’ve done When it’s heard and told When it’s judged and gone They say it’s so as if they know As if they know They say he’s looking for another band, another girl So you settled up, settled down, settled for a slower world Now they’re talking about their brand new neighbor But I don’t think she’ll stay long They say she could never want more Well, then again, they have been wrong (A time or two) And all around, I hear your name And the story’s never twice the same All around, I see the traces of your big town dreams In their small town faces Where you go and what you’ve done When it’s heard and told When it’s judged and gone They say it’s so as if they know As if they know, as if they know, as if they know They say it’s so as if they know, as if they know As if they know, they say it so, say it so They say it’s so as if they know, as if they know As if they know, they say it so, say it so They say it’s so as if they know, as if they know As if they know, they say it so, say it so They say it’s so as if they know, as if they know As if they know, they say it so, say it so They say it’s so as if they know, as if they know As if they know, they say it so, say it so They say it’s so as if they know, as if they know

Dear dear Julia I enjoyed your sister and her room of saints Artful Commandos in graphite and paints About Bronwyn, no letter did I send And I've been thinking about an almost girl friend But what would it mean, if the love is real Would it come down to a perfect thing to say But how can you draw back a heart that looks away And so I let go these things that will not be And I move on to a brand new day And it's always chance at play for love to come and stay Dear dear Julia A tiny bolt is loose and so my bike rattles Riding down Fountain is a scary battle In 30 days, my job might end And I've been thinking about an almost girl friend But what would it mean, if my love is real Would it come down to a perfect thing to say But how can you draw back a heart that looks away So I let go these things that will not be And I move on to a brand new day Well it's always chance at play for love to come and stay Dear dear Julia But what would it mean, if my love is real Would it come down to a perfect thing to say Well how can you draw back a heart that looks away And so I let go these things that will not be And I move on to a brand new day Well it's always chance at play for love to come and stay Yes it's always chance at play for love to come and stay Dear dear Julia Dear dear Julia Dear dear Julia

Ghost in the rain Ghost in the train Ghost in my brain I cannot disconnect Ghost in my deeds Ghost in my needs Ghost in the seeds The karma I expect Who will forgive me Can nothing free me Who dares rescue me There's a ghost ghost In my life Ghost in the wall Ghost in the call Ghost in the fall Gets harder to reject Who will forgive me Can nothing free me Who dares rescue me There's a ghost ghost In my life I have a picture No one sees but me Haunted by this dubious Photography Ghost have to deal Ghost turn the wheel Ghost you're not real Ghost Says To Me You are not correct

When we kiss I can feel the doubts circlin’ Flyin’ overhead Waiting for this to die As for me I know I burn here with passion As I see you Ready there to say good-bye Well where’s the fire Amy Blue Cause on your train You could be a rider or fireman You could sit Until this trip does end But if you sit All you get is a torn-up ticket And that don’t show Much of where you’ve been Well where’s the fire Amy Blue I’ve been to the place where no one cares The folks just sit with a sleepy stare Well where’s the fire Amy Blue The more you want, the more you’ll get Do I have to explain this If you want something, it’s worth some sweat That’s right And first you look And then you hit the road running You jump each time Your love-snare beats And to be free You must not fear no catching Don’t you be so cool Babe I want your heat And where’s the fire Amy Blue Where’s the fire And where’s the fire Amy Blue Where’s the fire Where’s the fire

Didn't take a bath There's a spider in the tub Didn't play a round I've been kicked out of the club Circumstance has got me thinking There's no chance that we're not sinking She's been dreaming of her getaway We are teaming to make me say I'm a troubled man with a worried mind I know it's me will be left behind I am told never mind Never mind Never mind Never mind Didn't take a walk There's a raven in the sky Stayed out of sight I've been dodging a good-bye History heavy on my heart Mystery no clue to restart Was I faking, could I have done more I am breaking and a dinosaur I'm a troubled man with a worried mind I know it's me will be left behind I am told never mind Never mind Never mind Never mind Never mind I'm a troubled man with a worried mind I know it's me will be left behind I am told never mind Never mind Never mind Never mind Never mind Never mind Never mind Never mind Never mind Never mind Never mind Never mind Never mind I can't go outside There's an angry mockingbird I must pack for good She whispered and I heard Confusion, and forever more Conclusion, no ceiling no floor I've retreated, game of snakes and slide I'm defeated cannot run or hide I'm a troubled man with a worried mind I know it's me will be left behind I am told never mind Never mind Never mind Never mind Never mind
