STREETLIGHT GLOW |
OVER THE FENCE When will I see you again? We gathered bugs in a jar We swung as high as the sky Summer would end fast it came We drew the roads on the map We swung as high as the sky When will I see you again? |
BUILD ME A BOAT Take me away from this man Build me a boat in the sand Help me to stand on my own Build me a boat in the sand Lift me up over the trees |

GUESTS OF GHOSTS Meet me in the graveyard Breathe in, whisper in my ear Tonight we’re here as guests of ghosts Lean in, press against me hard Tonight we’re here as guests of ghosts |
DOLORES You roll out from under the covers and you stand one foot before the other feel your lungs expand wake up Dolores today's come for us You pull up and sign in he waits across the glass you two review the news sort out the days' facts you're doin' good Dolores just keep on going The car, the keys, you worry for eight days they search your home a working class believer a heart that won't let go courage up Dolores just keep on going The verdict hits your gut spent 18 years for what? it's got you all tore up Wisconsin winter grey they took your son away again You roll out from under the covers and you stand one foot before the other feel your lungs expand wake up Dolores today's come for us. |
STARSTRUCK I've been in this house before we drank too much wine cutting chords and writing rhymes we showed each other how to shine how it felt so alive as we died on the page two minds aligned when somebody new shot straight across your sky and we were just day-drinking not over-thinking the sun was sinking on your front porch now you're kicking up dust the music feels rushed i try to adjust, you're starstruck again look at all we created still she's playing the big stages life, it runs in phases we made it easy, uncomplicated and we were just day-drinking not over-thinking the sun was sinking on your front porch now you're kicking up dust the music feels rushed i try to adjust, you're starstruck again it won't work that way to gather up gold dust and then throw it away that's not how it works melody makers, energy shakers simpler times and we were just fine and we were just day-drinking not over-thinking the sun was sinking on your front porch now you're kicking up dust the music feels rushed i try to adjust, you're starstruck again |

SUFFERING SOUL drove into the desert dry eyed from the dusty mountainside made it through in record time found Lincoln on the other side he was bangin on a suitcase he was blowin on the harp he was burnin up a fever in a temple made of tarp and I said save me save a suffering soul from itself save me Lord, this woman sure could use some help Lincoln turned and then he stopped he looked me up he looked me down the congregation they stood up and slowly circled round he stepped down from his soap box and offered me the cup i gave him all my money and then we both rose up and I said save me save a suffering soul from itself save me Lord, this woman sure could use some help Mary wore a minidress her hair bleached black and green she dabbed some lotion on my head said this will wash you clean the people hushed and quiet began to hum along when Lincoln bangs a mighty fist we all burst into song save me save a suffering soul from itself save me Lord, this woman sure could use some help |
WINTERTIME IN TEXAS It's wintertime in Texas with all the golds and the greens when our heads fill up with cedar unless we keep our noses clean it sure is nice to look at it doesn't get too cold so I say let's stay in Texas and let ourselves grow old we got ourselves a new view our eyes out to the hills a house of stone, a little land, a new view got some dirt upon our hands we got ourselves a new view it's a little further out cleared a space out of my head bring me water for the drought Oh but when I take you in we fall in line it feels like coming home to me every time |
