- Hard To Love A Man
It was hard to love a man like you
Goodbye was half the words you knew
While you was waiting for me not to call
I sent my love, I sent my love
In a life built out of only goodbyes
Is there even room for you to try
While you was waiting for me not to call
- I've Been Riding With The Ghost
While you was gone you must have done a lot of favors
You've got a whole lot of things I don't think
That you could ever have paid for
While you've been busy crying
About my past mistakes
I've been busy trying to make a change
I made a change
I've been riding with the ghost
- Little Sad Eyes
That's what little sad eyes are made of
Every time it rains I hear the city call my name
And that's what little sad eyes are made of
Harvest and ruin, I've carried both of them
Out of the world that was, into the world to come
That's what little sad eyes are made of
- Lonesome Valley
I watched you walk out from the world before
And nothin' asked you to be much more
Than just a hand full of dust
Oh, lonesome valley, lonesome valley
Oh, lonesome valley, lonesome valley
Out here the ghost wears the feathered crown
Of blues and the sickle moons
- Map of the Falling Sky
I have paid my debts sometimes
With awkward silences
I was given two ears of corn and the [? bow]
I ate the one and sowed the other
And, brother, I aim straight for the road
And, brother, I aim straight for the road
With my wings in one hand and lead in the other
- Nashville Moon
How many ghosts will I meet on the road
That depends
How hard you running
And that depends
Which ones you know and which ones know that you’ll be coming
How far away is that Nashville moon
That depends
Where did she leave you
- Northstar Blues
Where were the rest of my songs tonight?
I only remember the north star blues
Simple old song, a stage each night
Marking the time that I lost you
No one should forgive me
I knew what I stood to lose
I'm better off now
- Steady Now
Everything in its place
The world does have to end in pain
Oh steady now
North star finds the cross-road
Though I walk always away from it
Pale moon lights the rocky shore
Though I always head straight for it
- The Dark Don't Hide It
Something held me down it made me make a promise
That I wouldn’t tell if the truth forgets about us
Saying it now comes easily
After finding out how you’ve been using me
At least the dark don’t hide it (x4)
You only said you wanted friends
- The Handing Down
The handing down, the handing down
Maybe the truth will not be shown
And the dark will just roll on and on. Roll
O three rivers where’s that star you once
Held above my faded dreams
Heart worn more than some I guess
But I’m still holding at the seams
Still holding at the seams.
