- are in My hand and just up the stair
I want to be alone
I need to touch each stone
Face the grave that I have grown
I want to be
Alone
Before all the days are gone
And darker walls are bent and torn
To pass the time of those who mourn
- Blues Run the Game
Catch a boat to england, baby,
Maybe to spain,
Wherever i have gone,
Wherever i've been and gone,
Wherever i have gone
The blues are all the same.
Send out for whisky, baby,
- Bull Men
When you cry, the end comes close
To all the trouble behind the ghost
When you sing your words so clear
I find that loving you is the magic that I’d feared
Love’s like a train leaving here
Waiting in the skyline
To climb the rails of cheer
- Can't Get Away From My Love
You can leave in the mornin’
Without any warnin’
But you’ll never get away from my lovin’
You’ll never get away from my love
Any T[ime] babe, come over
Put your head on my shoulder
Tell me what you think of my lovin’

- Here Come The Blues
Monday's shine, yes an' Tuesday's rain
While the days that go by baby like a south bound train
Well its funny thinking you won't ever call my name
Here comes lonely
Here come the blues
Well the words they won't come babe
- Jimmy Clay
As you walk down the street, who will follow you?
Six o'clock, the hour´s getting late.
The moon it is rising as the sticky dew
Mold is on the ground by the gate.
With your rifle on your shoulder as you walk along
Listening to your boot-heels hit the sod
Smoking a cigar as you hum a song
Thinking of your mother, and your God
- Just Like Anything
Just like anything
To sing
To sing
To sing
Is a state of mind
Sunlight dances slowly
on a drum beats broken rhyme
- Marlene
The ghost of her
Floats over there
And the smile, the smile
It seems so lonely
She gave me her hand
As I struck up the band
And she seemed to sigh, she seemed to sigh
‘You're the only'
- Milk And Honey
Gold and silver
Is the autumn
Soft and tender
Are the skies
Yes and knows
All the answers
Written in
My true love's eyes
- My Name Is Carnival
I've seen your face in every place that I'll be goin'
I read your words like black hungry birds read every song
Rise and fall
Spin and call
And my name
Is carnival
Sad music in the night
Sings a scream of light out of chorus
- October
Halloween is signal I received in France
watching all the traffic going by
your hair is done in sequins you wear leather pants
soldiers at the crossroads wave goodbye
chorus
it's already over in October
already Christmas every year
it's always good to sing when you are sober
- Relations
Why don’t you cry for me Baby?
FaddG CaddG G
Help me make it through
FaddG CaddG G
Why don’t you see me lately?
FaddG CaddG G
I’m sad that I’m true
- Singing Sailors
There's a river between us now
Some state line borders, some broken towns
Some singing sailors doing what they please
Now I'm down to saying prayers on my knees
I've loved your eyes, your innocence
In the face of bad times and where it wents
There's no wind on this bitter earth
- Spectre
Where the street becomes a wall
The spectre fell against it
Without a cry or a wail
Here in the darkness
His black and green will ram
There's no more lack of conscience
That isn't due a plan
Oh, the spectre
- the visit
when I said you were beautiful I said it there and then
I laid aside all resistance, for go to say amen
and when you raised your hands to me, a glow there in i I saw
a baby of the morning, a sweep in natures law
it begins to seem like summer’s almost gone
like the wind that blows the leaves out on the lawn
I determined that I loved you, you determined I am he
- Yellow Walls
yellow walls that shine like silver
dark green windows stare never closed
from yellow walls that shine like silver
through the hands I choose to hold
painting night life in searching question
cannot catch the shadow that is me
running naked and unmentioned
- You Never Wanted Me
Wondering and waiting
My back against the wall
Not a word that passed between us
Comes to call
Just your shadow on the window
And your step on down the hall
You never wanted me babe
You never knew me at all
