"White Train"

"White Train"



Standing at my doorway
I wondered why his hand was painted red
'It's just a scratch' he said
Here we go again
We stumbled to the car
By the time we hit Prince Henry's he was white
I said 'You look such a sight'
He said 'I don't feel no pain'

And I know just what to do
And I know it's nothing new
We've been through this before
And I must follow
Why must it be you (on a white train)?

I stuck until the end
Though you said I was no friend
But you were blind
I was much too kind
On a white train
Some will swill and some will sip
Some just find a place where they don't slip
Others take a kip
On a white train

And I know just what to do
And I know it's nothing new
We've been through this before
And still I follow
Why must it be you (on a white train)?

"Winter Coat"

"Winter Coat"



We were lovers once long ago
Walking through cold city streets like lovers do
Stopped inside a market
Kissed beside a stall
Someone said 'You'd better move on if you're not buying at all'

Then I saw the winter coat hanging on the rack
I thought about that winter coat hanging on my back
So you helped me try it on
It was just my size
Then you bought that coat for me after haggling over the price

Now when it's chilly
Up in these cold, cold hills
I just put on my winter coat
My winter coat keeps me warm

Years have come along
Years have gone
Some friends have risen
Some have moved on
And my old winter coat still hangs by my front door
Holding all the stories I don't remember anymore

And when it gets freezing
Up in these cold, cold hills
I just put on my winter coat
My winter coat keeps me warm

"Won't You Come Around"

"Won't You Come Around"



Well, I know it's getting kinda late
I guess I should turn out the light and bide my time
Tomorrow eight o'clock, you said, would be just fine
But tomorrow's so far away
And only you can make this brain shut down
Oh, won't you come around?

Now, I think I'm getting much too fond
I know you got a lot of stuff going on
You got your rules and you need your beauty sleep as well
But time moves like glue
And in my head it's you I'm always talking to
I've been found! Oh, won't you come around
With your long hair down?
Won't you come around?

Well, I don't want to move too fast
I'm hoping this is gonna last-the way you smile
When you catch me coming makes me ten foot high
No, I don't want to rush you now
But maybe tonight you can break your rule somehow
Oh, won't you come around
With your long hair down?
Won't you come around?
And shut my thinking down?
Oh, won't you come around?

"Words And Music"

"Words And Music"



I was standing in the schoolyard
I guess it was sometime in 1965
Just me and my friends listening to the radio
And a song came on called I Feel Fine
The playground sounds grew dim
The whole wide world seemed to fade
There was nothing but me and that heavenly sound
Burning in my brain
Words and music-yeah, yeah

I was lying on the living room floor
With the sound way up on Highway 61
Then I heard my mother calling through the door
Saying 'Now, what about those dishes then, son?'
So I picked the needle up
And yelled out 'Just one more song to go'
Then I put the needle back down
At the start of Desolation Row
Words and music-yeah, yeah

Now two things saved that crazy sailor
Trapped for days inside his hull
No food, no water, no nothing
Just his tongue rattling around inside his skull
Words and music-yeah, yeah

"Would You Be My Friend?"

"Would You Be My Friend?"




If I fell into confusion
Got scared but couldn't say
If I lost my rhyme and reason
And threw away the gift of grace
Would you be my friend?

If they said I don't deserve you
That my credit was no good
If they told you I'm not worthy of your love
And you should cut me like you cut dead wood
Would you be my friend?

And if you heard that I was on the town
Pissing loudly on your name
Would you find me, would you face me down?
Though your ears burned with shame
Would you be my friend?

And if I said I wished I'd never been born
And my mouth could only curse
If I'd passed the point of no return
Like a poor, puking child in church
Would you be my friend?
My only friend

"You Broke A Beautiful Thing"

"You Broke A Beautiful Thing"



Like a child acting so carelessly
You destroyed something you just didn't see
I'm not angry
How could I be angry with a child?

You broke a beautiful thing
And it won't ever mend

Thoughtless child
All wrapped up in the shape of a man
I tried so hard to get you to understand
I'm so sorry
Why am I always the one saying sorry
Like a mother does for a child?

You broke a beautiful thing
And it won't ever mend
I'll never have the pieces again

I hate the way I keep losing things
And I hate the way when I lose something
I never seem to find it again

You broke a beautiful thing

"You Can Put Your Shoes Under My Bed"

"You Can Put Your Shoes Under My Bed"



It's a pretty pass
How you always seem to land on your feet
A little undone
Anybody else by now would be cold meat
Whenever you fall
You can put your shoes under my bed

Anytime, anytime you're passing by this way
Remember you will always have a place to stay
Whenever you call
You can put your shoes under my bed

Trip the light
And who of us can tell what's real and what's fantastic
You do it right
No one else could have such grace and be so spastic
Let heaven fall
You can put your shoes under my bed

"You Can't Take It With You"

"You Can't Take It With You"



You might have a happy family, nice house, fine car
You might be successful in real estate
You could even be a football star
You might have a prime-time TV show seen in every home and bar
But you can't take it with you

You might own a great big factory, oil wells on sacred land
You might be in line for promotion, with a foolproof retirement plan
You might have your money in copper, textiles or imports from Japan
But you can't take it with you

You can't take it with you though you might pile it up high
It's so much easier for a camel to pass through a needle's eye

You might have a body of fine proportion and a hungry mind
A handsome face and a flashing wit, lips that kiss and eyes that shine
There might be a queue all around the block
Long before your starting time
But you can't take it with you

You might have a great reputation so carefully made
And a set of high ideals, polished up and so well displayed
You might have a burning love inside, so refined, such a special grade
But you can't take it with you

"You're 39, You're Beautiful And You're Mine"

"You're 39, You're Beautiful And You're Mine"



I don’t talk all that much
About my feelings and such
Though I try to keep in touch with this heart of mine
But now I’m gonna speak out loud
‘Cause it makes me feel so proud
That we’re standing the test of time
You’re 39, you’re beautiful and you’re mine

I wake up every day
On my tongue a song of praise
You still take my breath away in the morning light
Down all the dogging days
You keep on getting better with age
Like a lovingly made bottle of wine
You’re 39, you’re beautiful and you’re mine

Like a sailing ship at sea
Bearing spice and history
You come swaying to me in your prime
You’re 39, you’re beautiful and you’re mine
I’m gonna say it one more time
You’re 39, you’re beautiful and you’re mine

"You're Learning"
(with Kasey Chambers)

"You're Learning"
(with Kasey Chambers)



You are learning what it’s like to sit and cry
And wonder why your plans went wrong
You are learning how it feels when pain is real
To realise you’re all alone
Yes, you’re learning
We had the chance to be happy
Nothing stood in our way
If only you’d meant what you promised
We wouldn’t be crying today
You are learning that a lie can make you cry
For the truth your heart reveals
You are learning that a flirt can cause a hurt
Even though your love is real
Yes, you’re learning
