"As You Wish"

"As You Wish"

If you need me, I'll come running
If you call me, I'll come quickly

But if you need to be alone
You know I'll gladly leave you

Should you want me, I'm yours completely
Should you need me, I'm yours completely

But if you need to be alone
You know I'll gladly leave you

"Bad Dreams"

"Bad Dreams"

I have fell victim to you
Troubles I have seen, many years
From high windows I have called you
So come, save me from this fire

Forget all who hurt you, they don't know you
Come rest your tired body in my arms
From the bedroom I have called you
So come, save me from this fire

And I have bad dreams
I've done so many bad things
And I have bad dreams
I've done so many bad things
So come, save me from this fire

"Beacon Hill"

"Beacon Hill"

Keeping you close, falling behind
I lost my voice, you lost your mind
You say you're not well, I say that you're fine
Walking with me through the aisles of a drugstore

And if you return to me
Oh, if you return to me

Your mother's a fake, a phantom who steals
The smile on your face is not what you feel
I'll check you in if you check me out
Some lonesome wrist-cutter who says I'm her brother

Oh, if you return to me
Oh, if you return to me

Was I the ghost or one of your voices
You hear in you head when you're out killing horses
Who's taking my place, who's taking you home
I don't think it's safe to turn out the nightlight

And if you return to me
Oh, if you return to me

I read your reviews, I studied the lines
I know them so well, my life's now a tragedy
One for the road, two for the plane
And I will be fine, as long as you take me

And if you return to me
Oh, if you return to me

It's alright, baby
It's alright, baby
It's alright, babe
It's alright

"Best Dress"

"Best Dress"

Hey now, put your best dress
I'm tired of fighting
Let's take it out on the town
To some old style dancing

We should just have a good time
We could stay out all night long
Hey now, put your best dress on
Hey now, put your best dress on

No price I wouldn't pay
To always have you with me
Nothing that I could take
Feels like the thrill you give me

I'll show you such a good time
Keep you up 'til the dark is dawn
Hey now, put your best dress on
Hey now, put your best dress on

Hey now, put your best dress on
Hey now, put your best dress on
Hey now, put your best dress on
Hey now, put your best dress on

Hey now, put your best dress on
Hey now, put your best dress on
Hey now, put your best dress on
Hey now, put your best dress on

"Big Deal"

"Big Deal"

It's like I told you
You'll never be as good
And there's someone always better
To take your place

Once you were the first in line
Now you're in the back
Receiving cards and thank you letters
PS please don't come back

It's like I told you
You'll never be as fast
And there's someone always faster
To take your place

Once I told you things look brighter
And now they're turning black
In this world without a compass
And you can't find your way back

It's like I told you
It's like I told you
It's like I told you
It's like I told you

Once I told you that things look brighter
And now they're turning black
In this world without a compass
And you can't find your way back

It's like I told you
It's like I told you
It's like I told you
It's like I told you

"Big Decision"

"Big Decision"

Made a big decision
Think I left you out
Made a big decision
Think I left you out

Got a lot of problems
Think I'll work it out
Got a lot of problems
Think I'll work it out

Made a big decision
Think I left you out
Made a big decision
Think I left you out

Got a lot of problems
Think I'll work it out
Got a lot of problems
Think I'll work it out

"Big Let Down"

"Big Let Down"

Here comes that big let down
It anchors your soul
In sadness she left you
Standing alone

One more time he promised
Not this time
Where is the love that binds us
Not this time

Here comes that big let down
It anchors your soul
Holding hands she left you
Holding your own

One more time he promised
Not this time
Where is the love that binds us
Not this time
Can you please forgive us
Not this time

"Birdcage"

"Birdcage"

Now the sun is coming out
It's better than the rain
I finally wipe away the clouds
Leave me here and

Maybe I'll be fine
As long as I have you on the right

So much easier to get out
I'm breaking from my cage
Kill the lights and burn it down
Leave the keys and

Maybe I'll be fine
As long as I have you on the right

"Black Eyes"

"Black Eyes"

I love you
I think that's what she told me

I've run through
And I could want you only
And I could want you only
And if you give me money

It's nothing
She said and then she hit me

I love you
Sometimes so much it kills me
Sometimes so much it kills me
Sometimes so much it kills me

Sometimes so much it kills me
And if you give me money

"Butcher's Boy"
(originally by Peggy Seeger)

"Butcher's Boy"
(originally by Peggy Seeger)

She went upstairs to make her bed
Not one word to her mother said
Her mother she went upstairs too
Saying "Daughter, oh daughter, what troubles you?"

"Oh mother, oh mother, I cannot tell
That butcher's boy I love so well
He courted me my life away
And now at home he will not stay"

"There is a place in London town
Where that butcher's boy goes and sits down
He takes that strange girl on his knee
He tells her things he don't tell me"

Her father he comes home from work
Saying "Where is my daughter, she looks so hurt"
He went upstairs to give her hope
Found her hanging from a rope

He took his knife and he cut her down
In her bosom these words were found
"Go dig my grave both wide and deep
Place a marble slab at my head and my feet

And on my stone, place a snow white dove
To warn this world I died for love"

Oh mother, oh mother
Oh Mother me
Oh mother, oh mother
Mother me

Oh Lord, oh Lord
Lord in me
Oh Lord, oh Lord
Lord in me

Oh Lord, oh Lord
Lord in me
Oh Lord, oh Lord
Lord in me
