Find you in the strangest places now
find you where the woodbines meet the plow
and I hear your voice clear as a bell
I meet you down at where the well springs forth
you are so beautiful just so
Virginia creeper
you have left the perfect sleeper
and the roses bloom in spring before you now
Underneath a tragic eastern sky
you crawl out and wait your turn to die
but if the first freeze don't get you
and the fertile soil will let you then
I'll see you when the days are longer now
Virginia creeper
you have left the perfect sleeper
and the roses bloom in spring before you now

Closing time
better bring your courage
the one that lights your way
to be forever lonely
and farther down my street
looking out your window
the one that you would fix
the one that you will pray for
and you know
that the world
revolves around you now
Deeper greens and blues
blowing in from the south now
leave before today
will you be there tomorrow
I find it hard to say
the things you will believe in
when all that's left to show
the blue behind your eyes now
and you know
that the world
revolves around you now

Allandale

There was place where I lived that I used to know
right down the street
scarecrow musical show
parched from the heat
And I'll sleep on the airplane
And I'll crawl down the hall
to be with you in Allandale
When the sun's across the walk
And I wish you a merrier
tomorrow than today
Were you mad for not showing us
a side we wished to see
Wolfpack
Hold me back
there's a lot of slack
in back of me.
Window
don't you know
there's a way to go
when you're asleep
And I'll wake in the cinema
and I'll crawl through the hall
to be with you in Alllandale
when the sun's across the walk
And I wish you a merrier
tomorrow than today
Were you mad or just showing us
a side we wished to see
And I wish you a merrier
tomorrow than today
Thanks, I'll wait for the bus I ride
and meet you at Club Lake

Heaven 17
02:31
|
|||
|
Coming down from heaven 17 now
I could see the lights along the way
sleeping in the backseat in the moonlight
wouldn't it be fine to go this way
and go that way
till the end of the day
are you looking forward to tomorrow
is it any different than today
counting all the hours you have borrowed
carried in your tattered coat of gray
and each new day
just slips away
into the gloom
of the afternoon
coming down from heaven 17
kicking at the stones along the way
talking to the girls that you might fancy
watching as the twilight melts away
coming down from heaven 17 now

Shoeless
03:58

Got a song
got a message
think it's coming into view
not long after some thinking
I decided what I really want to do
Gonna go and paint a big fat welcome
on my house or maybe on the door instead
underneath it there'll be fine print reading
I don't mind the shoes,
as long as they've been fed
You never let me climb the simple way down
found a ladder but you made me go around
the situation felt so copacetic
I just had to realize what you were gonna do
Now here we are and yes, it's quite pathetic
to think that all the while I knew
what you were going through
You never let me climb the simple way down

Sirens
04:31
|

|
Well you heard about the sirens on the shore
read it in books and you've seen it in magazines
calling
calling out your name
Leading you on to heaven or the devils door
And there's another one
calling me out tonight
and there's another one calling
calling me home
Now the night wind
you feel it in your face
you feel it all around and you smell it on the back of her coat
Now the streets are dark
and all the doors are shut
but you can't turn back
there's a feeling that's driving you on
And there's another one
calling me out tonight
and there's another one calling
calling me home
Hey now listen man
I know this sounds absurd
what a man's gonna do about the voices in his head
but there's a quick shot
makes you feel alright
but there's got to be something more you know I just can't tell
And there's another one
calling me out tonight
and there's another one calling
calling me home

Please
Sally stay the night
please, please
Sally White
You know I just can't take
the morning light
without you there to make it right
so please Sally White
Please
you know I'm mad about you
when I sleep
you know I dream about you
I'd do almost anything
to make you cry
and to make you sing
so please Sally White

Start All Over
03:53
|
|||
|
Wasting time across the county line
guess I'll start all over again
well I always seem to end up just where I began
guess I'll start all over again
There's no place in this world that I'd rather be
than the arms of the one I love true
but if you'd be inclined to be changing you mind
then I guess I will too
Well it seems to me now
that the where, and the how
matter less than
the who, and the when
If the time is right now
then I'll make it somehow
to the end
and begin

Purple martin sanctuary
find a place where we can hide
the hours away
desperation foreign to the ones
who understand the simple nursery rhyme
seemingly so far away
they who do not notice paint their shades of gray
nervously their fingers twitch upon the trigger
knowing that it's going wrong
It's going wrong
One step ahead and one step behind
the next one in line, it's a sign of the time
One step ahead and one step behind
And you are there
just by the river
a lovers kiss
a style from 1924
We sit like ghosts together in the rain
and wonder how it could have gone so wrong
It's going wrong
One step ahead and one step behind
the next one in line, it's a sign of the time
One step ahead and one step behind
Purple Martin Sanctuary
shadows fall around us
in the afternoon
Far below the lights come on
here and there
the night falls on our way back home
It's going wrong
One step ahead and one step behind
the next one in line, it's a sign of the time
One step ahead and one step behind

Too Many Yesterdays
02:52
|
|||
|
It wears me out
to think of all the parts you're playing
and it wears me down to see
You taken all the black and white
and turned them into gray
you take tomorrow and you leave with
too many yesterdays
The perfect moon
and underneath the hedges play
to find you there and lean
You've taken all the desert lands
into the fertile ways
you take tomorrow and you leave
to many yesterdays
It wears me out
to think of all the games they're playing
and it wears me down to see
you've taken my best intentions
and lost them on the way
you left me with a photograph and
too many yesterdays

Twenty Days of Rain
05:18
|
|||
|
And so it came that twenty days of rain did fall upon this town
Went running down the streets and puddled neath the wheels
left rusting in the mud and vacant in the fields
Withered on the railroad vine
this town left for dead
stood staring from the porches
and scratched its weary head
fell upon your knees arms stretched toward the sky
for you know the fertile ways live but for to die.
Oh where do the railroad men go when the work that came is done
When the track that for years they worked lie wasted in the sun
and the whistle no longer signals
the coming of the dawn
and the station masters voice that called to you is gone.
What of them that road home in midwest afternoon
left for promises in vain that will not be back soon
and what of you my children, there'll be nothing left to see
and no one who remembers and you will not hear from me
For the voice it will fall silent
long after you will care
When the mills stand stark and silent
and the farmland is laid bare
And so it came that twenty days of rain did fall upon this town

Eastern Roads

Eastern roads go on for miles
Here we travel for awhile
Don't say we'll live forever
Sometimes it's now or never
Oh to become what you will be
Eastern roads go on for miles
Here we travel for awhile
You say you're sad and lonely
Know that you're not the only
one who's been taken for a ride
They've laid out long before me
They've wrapped their arms around me
And they'll be here when we are gone
Eastern roads go on for miles

World Revolves (reprise)
02:54

Closing time
better bring your courage
the one that lights your way
The one that you will know by
and I know
that the world
revolves around you now
Deeper greens and blues
blowing in from the south now
leave before today
will you be there tomorrow
and I know
that the world
revolves around you now
and I know
that the world
revolves around you now
