"Keep Me In Mind, Sweetheart"

"Keep Me In Mind, Sweetheart"



If you ever find that you've fallen behind
Please keep me in mind, sweetheart
If your love is true
Then my money's on you
And you'll know what to do, sweetheart

Summer was high when you caught my eye
Though I was pledged to another
The feeling was strong when you came along
Now Lord only knows how I suffer

Oh, if you change your mind
Leave your old love behind
Just keep me in mind, sweetheart
Please keep me in mind, sweetheart

Summer was high when you caught my eye
Though I was pledged to another
The feeling was strong when you came along
Now Lord only knows how I suffer
If it's part of God's plan
Then you'll find where I am
Please keep me in mind, sweetheart
Just keep me in mind, sweetheart
Just keep me in mind, sweetheart

"Kimiko's Dream House"

"Kimiko's Dream House"



It's a matter of time, we always get lost
By going very far, it's a matter of time

Like I told you before, things are alright
If I fall to the floor, it's for closing my eyes

I came to this place, so tired at first
Kimiko's dream house
So many things, that girls know before
Kimiko's dream house
There's so many things, that I've known before

To make matters worse, the trains are on time
Lost at the station, still lost in our minds

Thrown the rivers, we kicked and cursed
Kimiko's dream house
So many things, that girls know before
Kimiko's dream house
So many things, that I've know before

It's swallowing us, but dream we must
Kimiko's dream house
So many things, that girls know before
Kimiko's dream house
So many things, that I've known before

I
And all the girls have known before

"Kingdoms Of Rain"

"Kingdoms Of Rain"



Are those halos in your hair
Or diamonds shining there
Without a hope, without a prayer
This rain beats down like death
You turn your eyes to better men
Before I go I'm hangin' a cross on the nail
I hung one for you now

Girl lay your shame to rest
then hold the lies close to your breast
You stoop to feed the crows
Some scraps of truth already cold
Before I go I'm hangin' a cross on the nail
I hung one for you now
And every kingdom of rain comes pourin' down
Cause I loved you so long
Cause I loved you so long

Would you put halos in your hair
Without a hope without a prayer
What lies close to your breast
then finally lay your shame to rest
Before I go I'm hangin' a cross on the nail
I hung one for you now
And every kingdom of rain comes pourin' down
Cause I loved you so long
cause I loved you so long
Cause I loved you so long

"Last One In The World"

"Last One In The World"


Goodbye my friend I hate to see you go
You brought me down the stars
The last one in the world
I hear you cry
But let's not waste this night
The last one in the world

Within your lonely room
I hear you whisper see you soon
I sense a dying spark
I watch you falling through the dark

Goodbye my friend, thank you for the dream
The last one in the world
I hear you cry
But let's not waste this night
The last one in the world

And I listen to you call
I hardly hear you at all
I walk the quiet night
Watch the river rolling by

The last one in the world [4x]

"Last Rung"
(with Duke Garwood)

"Last Rung"
(with Duke Garwood)



Why all this gloom in my mind's eye?
Gone to my head like sweet wine
Midnight whispers so quietly
I turn to look but it might be
A song sung
From the last rung

When night air is thick with misty rain
And your tears spill like champagne
One that's gone that you hoped for
Looks like one that you prayed for
A prayer you hung
From the last rung

"Lately"

"Lately"


Lately more or less I'm feelin' less incomplete
I got no direction so I follow my feet
When I think on everything my heart skips a beat

Lately, lately

It'll come clean in the wash know that much is true
You cannot foresee that this will happen to you
Best to sit and wait until the sun's breaking through

Lately, lately

Lately you've been talking and you don't make no sense
And from what you say she's got your back to the fence
And from what I see it's hard for you to find strength

Lately, lately

What you need, what's the hurry
And ain't it cruel when people are unkind
What's the fear, what's the worry
Move forward now and leave the past behind

You could waste your whole life through be a sleepy John
Choose your favorite poison on the way to get gone
Is this what you're thinkin' then I've got to move on

Lately, lately

Lately, lately

What you need, what's the hurry
And ain't it cruel when people are unkind
What you need, what's the worry
Move forward now and leave the past behind

Lately I've been lookin' out for bells when they ring
Bells for you and bells for me a beautiful thing
Been a long time coming soon my ship will come in

Lately, lately
[repeat til the end]

"Leaving New River Blues"

"Leaving New River Blues"



I had to leave New River after being married there
Couldn't get back home again
So long I ceased to care
Start to fiend, shake
'Till heaven's dry

Went on to old Charlston
Found more trouble there
Couldn't give up on this gambling
And I lost far more than my fair share
Oh and heaven was dry

The first thing that you learn now love
As you ride a broken pony
Learn to love the dirt now love
Love what can't be loved enough

If you fiend, like some do
Then heaven is dry

When heaven is dry baby
You exist for what you need
When hurting starts for real now baby
You'd crawl from Dallas to New Orleans

If you need like some do
Heaven is dry
Leaving New River Blues

"Leviathan"

"Leviathan"



After the deadlock and dazzle
As good as, or better than gold
I lay down my guns on the table
First scarlet, then blue growing cold

Black light and smoke
Making a joke
In the haze of a setting sun

Leviathan waits in the water
Skeletons hide in the trees
The hours crawl by like a spider
Hangman is following me

At sorrow's door
A century more
In the rays of a setting sun

After the deadlock and dazzle
Glitters at night like it's gold
You lay down your heart if you're able
First scarlet, then blue growing cold

Everyday a prayer
For what I never knew
But this is one I said for you

"Lexington Slow Down"

"Lexington Slow Down"



Won't break my heart, won't hope to die
Before Lexington could slow down
They say a chariot's waitin'
When you get cut loose
The place starts swinging
When it's me on the noose
Mother do you think
That your children cry
Cause they want to shake your chain?
I walked miles today, one for every year of my life
In this stinking fucking rain
Ooh, just to slow down
So I could slow down
So I could slow down, yeah
Work for me luck, just one last time
Spare me a chance, I've wasted mine
Shine on me light, don't you know I would
Reach for you there, if only I could
If I could slow down
If I could slow down
If I could slow down, just slow down
Don't mind being stoned, they said Jesus was
And I like being alone, and I could take livin' low
Forgive my being cruel, if ever I was
Say a word for me too, when I'm under the gun
Wouldn't break my heart
If I could slow down
Let the place start swingin'
There's a chariot waitin'
Wouldn't break my heart
If I could slow down
Let the place start swinging
There's a chariot waitin'
Wouldn't break my heart

"Like Little Willie John"

"Like Little Willie John"



There was nothing I could do
Where's Willie John?
Dead so long
Born to fall, nothing at all
Who's gonna grieve
When you're gone?
I once believed
I wouldn't bleed
I seen all these good looking women
While I'm getting off the plane
Remember where my baby is
Start thinkin' 'bout my baby
All she ever knew was trouble
And for much I was to blame
But when I heard the news that night
I went down like a satellite
And when my world stood still that night
I dropped like a satellite
She never knew how much I loved her
She never knew how much I cared
I thought I'd get back to my special one
I thought I'd get on a lucky run
I said I'd get back to my special one
I said I'd get on a lucky run
God damn
Where's Willie John?
Dead so long
Born to fall, like nothing at all
Now who's gonna grieve
When you're gone?
I once believed I'd never bleed
But lord I'm all alone tonight
Don't the sun love it's satellite?
Lord I'm all alone tonight
Don't the sun love it's satellite?
I don't know
Seein' all these good looking women
And remember where my baby is
Start thinkin' 'bout my baby
Remember where my baby is
Start me thinkin' 'bout my baby
Where's my baby?
