Hold You In My Arms
When you came to me with
your bad dreams and your fears
It was easy to see that
you'd been crying
Seems like everywhere
you turn catastrophe it reigns
But who really profits
from the dying
I could hold you in my
arms
I could hold you forever
I could hold you in my
arms
I could hold you in my
arms forever
When you kissed my lips
with my mouth so full of questions
It's my worried mind
that you quiet
Place your hands on my
face
Close my eyes and say
Love is a poor man's
food
Don't prophesize
I could hold you in my
arms
I could hold you forever
And I could hold you
in my arms
I could hold you forever
So now we see how it
is
This fist begets the
spear
Weapons of war
Symptoms of madness
Don't let your eyes refuse
to see
Don't let your ears refuse
to hear
Or you ain't never going
to shake this sense of sadness
I could hold you in my
arms
I could hold on forever
And I could hold you
in my arms
I could hold forever
Burn
Oh mama don't walk away
I'm a goddam sore loser
I ain't too proud to
stay
But I'm still thinking
'bout you
And I'm so lonesome without
you
And I can't get you out
of my mind
Oh mama don't leave me
alone
with my soul sat down
so tight it's like a stone cold tomb
Ain't it clear when I'm
near you
I'm just dying to hear
you
Calling my name one more
time
Oh so don't pay no mind
To my watering eyes
Must be something in
the air
That I'm breathing
Yes'n I try to ignore
All this blood on the
floor
It's just this heart
on my sleeve that's a bleeding
Oh mama don't walk away
You leave me here bereaving
from the words so hard and plain
Saying the love that
we had
was just selfish and
sad
To see you now with him
is just making me mad
Oh so kiss him again
just to prove to me that
you can
an I will stand here
and burn in my skin
Yes I will stand here
and burn in my skin
Hannah
I lost all of my vanity
when I peered into the
pool
I lost all of my innocence
When I fell in love with
you
I never knew a man fall
so far until I landed here
Where all of my wounds
turn into gold when I kissed your hair
Come to me Hannah
Hannah won't you to come
on to me
I'll lay down this bottle
of wine
If you'll just be kind
to me
Ask her why she cries
so loud
She Will not say a word
Eyes like ice and hands
that shake
She takes what she deserves
To celebrate her emptiness
In a Cold and lonely
room
Sweep the floor with
your long flowered dress
If you cannot find a
broom
Come to me Hannah
Hannah won't you come
on to me
I'll lay down this bottle
of wine
If you'll just be kind
to me
She's got hair that flows
right down
Right down to the backs
of her knees
Her Papa he was a preaching
man
And the lord is hard
to please
So she comes down from
the ozark hills to these very streets to roam
With a banjo and a bible
and a fine tooth comb
Come to me Hannah
Hannah won't you come
on to me
I'll lay down this bottle
of wine if you just be kind to me
I'd walk one mile on
this broken glass
to fall down at your
feet
oh Hannah you're the
queen of the street
I climb the tree withy
my Hannahlee
My intentions they were
pure
Oh the breeze did whip
and I lost my grip
I tumbled towards the
earth
Where You never would
guess who it was that stood below
And his name I would
never tell
But His eyes were clear
And His arms were strong
And caught me as I fell
Now come to me Hannah
Hannah won't you come
on to me
I'll lay down this bottle
of wine
If you'd just be kind
to me
I'd walk one mile on
broken glass
to fall down at your
feet
Hannah you're the queen
of the street
Hannah you're the queen
of the street
Jolene
Cocaine flame in my bloodstream
Sold my coat when I hit
Spokane
Bought myself a hard
pack of cigarettes in the early morning rain
Lately my hands they
don't feel like mine
My eyes been stung with
dust, I'm blind
Held you in my arms one
time
Lost you just the same
Jolene
I ain't about to go straight
It's too late
I found myself face down
in the ditch
Booze on my hair
Blood on my lips
A picture of you, holding
a picture of me
in the pocket of my blue
jeans
Still don't know what
love means
Still don't know what
love means
Jolene
Ah, La, La, La, La, La
Jolene
Been so long since I
seen your face
or felt a part of this
human race
I've been living out
of this here suitcase for way too long
A man needs something
he can hold onto
A nine pound hammer or
a woman like you
Either one of them things
will do
Jolene
I ain't about to go straight
It's too late
I found myself face down
in the ditch
Booze in my hair
Blood on my lips
A picture of you, holding
a picture of me
In the pocket of my blue
jeans
Still don't know what
love means
Still don't know what
love means
Jolene
La, La, La, La, La, La,
La
Jolene
La, La, La, La, La, La,
La

Shelter
I guess you don't need
it
I guess you don't want
me to repeat it
But everything I have
to give I'll give to you
It's not like we planned
it
You tried to stay, but
you could not stand it
To see me shut down slow
as though it was an easy
thing to do
Listen when
All of this around us'll
fall over
I tell you what we're
gonna do
You will shelter me my
love
And I will shelter you
I will shelter you
I left you heartbroken,
but not until those very words were spoken
Has anybody ever made
such a fool out of you
It's hard to believe
it
Even as my eyes do see
it
The very things that
make you live are killing you
Listen when all of this
around us'll fall over
I tell you what we're
gonna do
You will shelter me my
love
I will shelter you
Listen when
All of this around us'll
fall over
I tell you what we're
gonna do
Hey you will shelter
me my love
I will shelter you
If you shelter me too
I will shelter you
I will shelter you
Narrow Escape
Lejos and Mary
Lay dazed in Liula
Dreaming of tropical
signs
As Lejos lay sleeping
She knelt over him weeping
Feeling the weight of
his crimes
It seems he cut a man
down in a Tennessee town
And he's just licking
his wounds for a spell
But it won't take long
for the boys to catch on
And soon he'll be running
like hell
Run Lejos run
This ain't no time for
that ball and chain
Run Lejos run
Climb on that pony and
ride like you never done
Ride like you never done
Well their love it was
long
It was gentle and strong
And for a while she forgot
his sins
And she kissed him for
love
She kissed him for luck
She kissed him one time
for a kid
Well they came in without
a warning in the hours before morning
They come-a blasting
through the windows and walls
And when the smoke it
did clear
somebody cried out he
ain't here
Killed ourselves a woman
that's all
Run Lejos run
This ain't no time for
that ball and chain
Run Lejos run
Climb on that pony and
ride like you never done
Ride like you never done
Forever
My Friend
Who am I to tell her
Who am I to play god
Who am I to think I can
go it alone
Something tells me girl
this is bringing you down
Something tells me this
is bringing me down
We've been through some
changes
Always seem to hold on
Lately it feel like you
can't take anymore
Something tells me girl
this is bringing you down
Something tells me girl
this is bringing you down
Forever my friend
Forever my love
Forever the woman that
I'm thinking of
I just think if we keep
our hearts together
Just think if we build
on this trust that we have for one another
Baby we can make this
last a lifetime
Who am I to tell her
Who am I to play god
I don't know just what's
for real anymore
Something tells me girl
this is bringing you down
Something tells me girl
this is bringing you down
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe
I'm right
Maybe it's the last thing
you want to hear me say
I just think if we keep
out hearts together
I just think if we build
on this trust that we have for one another
Maybe we can make this
last a lifetime
Forever my friend
Forever my love
Forever the woman
That I'm thinking of
I just think if we keep
our hearts together
I just think if we will
build on this trust that we have for one another
Maybe we can make this
last a lifetime
How Come
People on the street
now
Faces long and grim
Souls are feeling heavy
And faith is growing
thin
Fears are getting stronger
You can Feel them on
the rise
Hopelessness got some
by the throat you can see it in their eyes
I said how come
How come
Everybody on a shoestring
Everybody in a hole
Everybody crossing their
fingers and toes
Government man spin his
politics till he got you pinned
Everybody trying to reach
out to each other
But they don't know where
to begin
I said how come
I can't tell
the free world
from living hell
I said how come
How come
all I see
is a child of god
in misery
I said how come the pistol
now as profit
The bullet some kind
of lord and king
But pain is the only
promise that this so called savior is going to bring
Love can be a liar
And justice can be a
thief
And freedom can be an
empty cup from which everybody want to drink
I said how come
I can't tell
the free world
from living hell
I said how come
How come
all i see
is a child of god
in misery
I said how come
Its just man killing
man
Killing man
Killing man
Killing man
Killing man
I don't understand
Its just man killing
man
All The Wild Horses
All the wild horses
All the wild horses
Tethered with tears in
their eyes
May no man's touch ever
tame
May no man's reigns ever
chain you
And may no man's weight
ever defrayed your soul
And as for the clouds
Just let them roll
Roll away
Roll away
As for the clouds
Just let them roll
Roll away
Roll away |
