Right In Front Of Me

hiding beneath that one single sheet
well it's hot or it's cold, there ain't no in between
in your eyes I saw lightning
and my heart it sang thunder
but my jaded mind jumped the gun on me
'what would it take to make me stay',
I thought to myself as I drove away
it was raining so hard that I couldn't see
you were there all along, you were there -
right in front of me
see- mama's out cookin in an apron outside
and her old man is crying that his king has died
well maybe if this rain - if it keeps on comin down -
I might just run myself all the way out of town,
and I've
taken apart all the pieces of me,
I have burnt them and sent them alone down the stream
but I still don't know
why I'd ever leave
'what would it take to make me stay',
I thought to myself as I drove away
it was raining so hard that I couldn't see
you were there all along, you were there -
right in front of me

Ballerina

I want to go back
to the way it was
one last candle burning
on the sill for our love
well he reaches for a candle he
blows it out
says he can see in the dark,
well what do you see?
sweetest ballerina,
in your satin box
if I twist you up would you sing for us
the songs of your long lost love
my little dove
oh i want to go back
to the ways I have been
so I can remember
how to learn again
and I will reach for that candle to(o)
guide my way
open your book, boy
what does it say?
sweetest ballerina
in your satin box
if I twist you up would you sing for us
the songs of your long lost love
my little dove
oh I am a
a little ballerina
and in my satin box
if you twist me up I will sing for you
the songs of my broken heart
my broken heart

Always

The birds are singing high and proud, they say
"sing along" but I don't know how, I pretend
that i've lost my way
I will carry you with me always
Well I've learned in love there's nothing to do when the
sky it falls and you're gazing through that looking glass
from the wrong way
Oh I will carry you with me always
I've been wandering for way too long
& I'll be seeing you
at least I hope so my friend
Oh I will carry you with me always
Well that bird she told me, "you never know
if you loved too hard, but when you let him go
you will see him fly either way"
Oh I will carry you with me always
Yes I will be lovin' you for all days
I will carry you with me always

Measure Twice

Mother I'm sorry
I didn't mean to make you cry
I had to go my own way,
couldn't look back or say goodbye
Papa I'm angry
these monsters in my head, they're screaming too loud
well what did you teach me?
I'm gonna tie my boots tight, gonna make you proud
And I'll
Measure twice, and I'll cut once
and I'll take my time, I won't rush
you don't get far in this life without fucking up
and if I should fall, I will pick myself up

Like The Wheel
03:31

Oh I wish I was the sparrow in your kid's eye
Like a fly above is summer all day long
On an island in the heart he has to carry
Past the many you have let into your song
And I said oh my lord why am I not strong
Like the wheel that keeps travelers traveling on
Like the wheel that will take you home
And in the forest someone is whispering to a tree now
This is all I am so please don't follow me
And it's your brother in the shaft that I'm swinging
Please let the kindness of forgetting set me free
And he said oh my lord why am I not strong
Like the wheel that keeps travelers traveling on
Like the wheel that will take you home
And on this Sunday someone's sititng down to wonder
Where the hell among these mountains will I be?
There's a cloud behind the cloud to which I'm yelling
I could hear you sneak around so easily
And I said oh my lord why am I not strong
Like the branch that keeps hangman hanging on
Like the branch that will take me home

New Mexico

We're snowed in
in New Mexico today
my feet are cold,
yet here I stay
Well I guess I just loved when you'd hold my head
when you know I can't sleep in that little grey bed
I've been up all night just thinking of the ways I could
make you stay
I guess I've known why
all along
I guess I've known why
I'm on the road again,
my note is on the floor
and I've left some love enclosed
in case I can't come home
I'm tangled in two or lost in between
I'm mixed up with your shadow I'm torn at the seams
I guess that I'll just keep on down this road
I've been here so long !
But I-
I guess I've known why
all along
I guess I've known why
all along
I guess I've known why
all along
I guess I've known why
