100 Ways To Say Goodbye
04:08
|
|
||
How does it feel to be from nowhere
You ask me and I close my eyes
Do I ever feel forgotten
Do I wish I had a place to hide
Well I was born without the ties that bind
Never had a reason to look behind
A string of houses, stacks of cardboard boxes
Always something better down the line
Old habits never die
I’ve got a hundred ways to say goodbye
I show up looking like I’m longing to be found
And I’ll kiss you and throw you to the ground
A string of lovers and empty promises
Do you really want me now
Chorus
Don’t go thinking you’ll get close enough
Don’t mistake my attention for love
Heart in hands, you ask me for more
I always keep one eye on the door
Chorus

Sister's Crying
03:20
|
|||
Sister’s crying, wondering what’s become of her life
She’s so tired, caring for her children takes all of her time
Where have her dreams gone, gettin’ dusty on the shelf
If she’s lucky, someday soon she’ll get ‘em back down
Oh sister don’t you worry none
Oh sister don’t you worry none
Oh sister don’t you worry none
Hold on, hold on
Sister’s trying to fix the broken vows
She’s so tired of the fightin’ and the lyin’ and her family turned upside down
Where has the love gone, gettin’ dusty on the shelf
If she’s lucky, someday soon she’ll get it back down
Chorus
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Sister’s fighting to make ends meet holding three jobs down
Her debts are climbing, caring for her children on her own
Where has her joy gone, gettin’ dusty on the shelf
If she’s lucky, someday soon she’ll get it back down
Chorus
Hold on sister to the voice inside you
When the world outside denies you
Keep the fire alive inside you
Someday soon you’ll get it back down
Sister’s crying
Sister’s crying
Sister’s crying

One Step
03:12
|
|||
Standing on a corner, waitin’ for a savior
One hand in his pocket, the other holds a cigarette
Headlight beams high and low, people go by, no one he knows
Turns around and walks away down the avenue
One step, two step, three step, blue step
Five step, sidestep heaven again
Raised up in the mountains where the ore-stained rivers run
His father died when he was young and his mother died crying
His brother left to fight a war and his sister couldn’t take him on
Turned around and walked away down the mountainside
Chorus
Mile by mile and town by town
Sun come up, sun go down
Picked up work where it could be found
And he picked up stakes when the work ran out
He loved a girl with hair like sun, but she wanted a wealthy man
Money never stuck to him, so he turned and walked away
Chorus
Standing on a corner, waiting for a savior
Both hands in his pockets and a mind filled with regret
His legs are tired and his body’s old, it’s finally time to let it go
Turns his head up to the sky, prays heaven’ll let him in.
Chorus

Highway
04:31
|
|||
Highway rolls
Through a town nobody knows
Past a big white house
That you once called your own
River flows
Through a town nobody knows
Under the bridge past the corn rows and silos
Through the place that you once called your own
The highway rolls and the river flows and the wind blows
Seasons change and the weeks go faster than the days
Children grow and the city calls out their name
Highway rolls and the town fades away
Child runs through the field in the sun
All the cares of the world yet to come
Child runs down where the river bends
Wonders where it ends
Chorus
The highway rolls
The river flows
Children go
The highway rolls
Chorus

I Used To Live Here
03:04
|
|
||
I used to live here
I used to laugh here
I used to love here
Now that love is gone
We used to walk here
We used to talk here
We used to dream here
Now those dreams are gone
Why do I walk these streets
Where it all came undone
Why did I turn around this corner
Where we stumbled and fell out of love
We used to lie here
We used to fight here
We used to cry here
Now those tears are gone
Chorus
We used to live here
We used to laugh here
We used to love here
Now that love is gone
Chorus

Lord Have Mercy
03:25
|
|||
I walked into the blinding street
I saw children huddled on cold concrete
I saw empty faces and no relief
And I fell down to my knees
I left the crumbling towers behind
I crossed barren fields under a darkening sky
I heard tired voices and muffled cries
And I fell down to my knees
Oh Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy on me
Oh Lord have mercy on me
I walked down to the river’s edge
Stepped into the riverbed
I felt the cracked earth with my fingertips
And I fell down to my knees
Chorus
I saw one tree in the distance
I saw one tree in the distance
I saw one tree in the distance
And there I took my rest
Chorus
That night I dreamed of rain on my face
I heard laughter and music playing
And in the air the winds of change
I wept on my knees
Chorus

Charlie
03:26
|
|||
Charlie once upon a time
You and I walking through Shadyside
Charlie you were a beacon in my night
That summer you were always by my side
Charlie I remember how you loved to dance
And the rain and the way you made me laugh
Charlie you were a gentle soul
I thought you were beautiful
Well the earth still turns and the trees still grow
And the ocean churns and the waves crash below
And the sadness that lingered behind your eyes
Is it gone
Charlie I only knew you for a little while
But I carried you through the years and miles
Charlie you thought I was good enough the way I was
I miss you
Well the earth still turns and the trees still grow
And the ocean churns and the waves crash below
And the sadness that lingered behind your eyes
Is it gone, are you home
Charlie I’ve been trying to recall
The last time I saw you, sunflowers in the hall
Charlie I’ve been wondering
The last time you wrote, did you say goodbye
Is that what I read between the lines
Well the earth still turns and the trees still grow
And the ocean churns and the waves crash below
And the mountains burn and the ashes fly
And the songbirds all sing lullabies
The songbirds all sing lullabies

What A Fool
02:40
|
|||
What a fool I’ve been to think that you were my friend
What a fool I’ve been
All of this time you’ve been telling me lies
What a fool I’ve been
In my life I’ve met my share
Of no-good liars and snakes
But I didn’t see what you were doing to me
What a fool I’ve been
Chorus
You’ve taken me on quite a ride
Using friendship as a guise
For your falsehearted schemes, how could I be so naïve
What a fool I’ve been
Chorus
I’d like to think I’ve got it in me
To forgive and forget, but I don’t this time
This is the end, you’ll never see me again
What a fool I’ve been
Chorus

Bitter/Sweet
02:38
|
|||
You found me in the doorway
Shattered, arms ‘round my knees
You look to me with questions
You’ve never seen me with tears like these
I wrap my arms around you
My words bound and tied
So much beauty right before me
So much lost inside
It’s bitter, and it’s sweet
It’s kind and it’s mean
It’ll lift you to the mountains
And bring you to your knees
So easy to get lost
So easy to forget
There were never any promises
What did I expect
Chorus
You lay your head on my chest
I tell you I’m okay
I carried you into this world
You carry me today
Chorus

Where Are You Now
03:24
|
|||
In the quiet of the evening, kiss the children goodnight
Step out on the back porch as daylight fades from the sky
The coolness of twilight, sweet scent in the air
Awakens a memory I barely knew was there
Where are you now, why do I care
Your name crossed my mind out of nowhere
It was so long ago, I’d almost forgotten
Where are you now
My thoughts travel backward to a distant land
Up on that rocky cliff where I once held your hand
Chorus
Time keeps forging new forks in the road
The world keeps turning, people come, people go
Where are you now, why do I care
Your name crossed my mind out of nowhere
It was so long ago, I’d almost forgotten
Where are you now
Where are you going, where have you been
Do you think our paths will cross again
Where are you now
Where are you now
Where are you now
