Album : Scraps At Midnight

Not feelin' any pain
But I know that it's real
Never see the color of the day
In the darkness I kneel
Prayin' for sleep
Prayin' that it will come easy
But there's something else
I see it miles away

Don't know what time of year it is
I can remember the fall
Yet all my strange and simple games
Play out on top of a wall
Prayin for sleep
Prayin' for something so easy
If only the moon
Would have left me alone

Album : Scraps At Midnight

You take me back to the place where I cease to exist
To find in a kiss
Somethin' I've missed
You burn away my disguise and galaxies fall
Because of this
Because of this
It hurt
God knows that it does
And when it hurts sometimes
You're there to quiet my mind
Because of this
Because of this
You pry open my eyes
I resist but you do
And when I stumble and bleed
You give your body to me
Because of this [3x]

Because of this [2x]

Oh and it hurts sometimes
Cause you're there to quiet my mind

You take me back to the place where I cease to exist
To find in your kiss
Something I've missed
You burn away my disguise
And the heavens fall
Because of this
Because of this
And it hurts
God knows that it does
But when I stumble and bleed
You give your body to me
Because of this [4x]

Album : I'll Take Care Of You

Come down to the willow garden with me
Come go with me
Come go and see

Although I've howled across fields and my eyes turned grey
Are yours still the same
Are you still the same

Carry home
I have returned
Through so many highways
And so many tears
Your letter never survived the heat of my hand
My buring hand
My sweating hand
Your love never survived the heat of my heart
My violent heart
In the dark

Carry home
I have returned
Through so many highways
And so many tears

Come down to the willow garden with me
Come go with me
Come go and see

Although I've howled across fields and my eyes turned grey
Are yours still the same
Are you still the same

I know you've been hurt
By someone else
I can tell by the way
You carry yourself
But if you'll let me
Here's what I'll do
I'll take care of you

I loved and lost
Same as you
So you see I know
Just what you've been through
So if you'll let me
Here's what I'll do
I got to take care of you

You won't ever have to worry
You won't ever have to cry
I'll be there beside you
To dry your weeping eyes

So darlin' tell me
That you'll be true
'Cause there's no doubt in my mind
I know what I want to do
And just as sure as
One and one are two
I just got to take care of you
I'll take care of you
I'll take care of you

It is so cold in Shiloh Town
Birds can hardly sing
Pretty girls gonna leave the town
They won't be back 'til spring

War is done they've come back home
But they're the ones that lost
See a man and a woman alone
Was it worth the cost?

I'll sing hallelujah
You'll sing hallelujah
We'll all sing hallelujah
When they arrive at home

Sun is out it's hot to today
Children all come out to play
Some are quick to come back home
Others, gone to stay

Gets so cold in Shiloh Town
Birds can hardly sing
Pretty girls gonna leave the town
They won't be back 'til spring

I'll sing hallelujah
You'll sing hallelujah
We'll all sing hallelujah
When they arrive at home

Leaving Hollywood
Sunset to the sea
Where the waves
Ride in on horses
I'm looking for her light
Creeping coastline of lights

The seas and the trees
Calling me
She's a river between day and night
I'm looking for her light
Creeping coastline of lights

She's comin down
From her mountian
Shinin white light
Like a fountain
And I'm lookin for her light
Creeping coastline of lights
And I'm lookin for her light
Creeping coastline of lights

I know you're tryin to be a big girl
And keep the tears from your eyes
And it's going to be a little hard
To lift your head up high

And you're gonna need a man
A man who'll understand

On Jesus' program
I'll wade out in the deep
Oh yes I will
On Jesus' program
Oh I cannot sleep
On Jesus' program
The Holy Spirit will creep
I know he'll take me, shake me
Make me what I have to be

On Jesus' program
I'm working for Christ
Oh yes I am
On Jesus' program
I know someday I'll rise
On Jesus' program
To mansions in the sky
Where I'll be free to live on
To live on
Eternally

I'm workin
On the program
Every day
When this life
Is all over
I'm going home
When this life
Is all over
I'm going home

Went out last night, take a little round
Met little Sadie and I blowed her down
Then I run right home and went to bed
With a forty-four smokeless under my head

The girls all heard little Sadie was dead
They went home to be ragged in red
Come a slippin' and a slidin' down the street
In their loose mother hubbards and their stocking feet

Well I began to think what a deed I'd done
Grabbed my hat and I started to run
I made a good run just a little too slow
And they overtook me in Jericho

Standing on the corner reading a bill
Up stepped the sheriff of Thomasville
Said young man is your name Lee Brown?
Remember the night you blowed Sadie down?

Yes I said my name is Lee
I murdered little Sadie in a first degree
First degree and a second degree
If ya got any papers, read 'em to me

Took me downtown, dressed me in black
Put me on a train and send me back
Didn't have no one to go on my bail
Throw me back in the county jail

Judge and the jury took their stand
Judge had the papers in his hand
Forty-one days and forty-one nights
Forty-one years just to wear them stripes
