Dusk 'Til Dawn 05:11
lyrics
buy track
I love my woman She treats me wrong She been messin' around at night From dusk till dawn Sun down, sun up From dusk till dawn I'll be waiting all night for that girl to prove me wrong Sun down, sun up From dusk till dawn I'll be a son of a bitch if that girl don't prove me wrong I've spent nights on the road And she swears that she's at home But she's not alone And I wonder where she's gone I met my baby at the bar I was playin' this here four-string guitar And she said "I've dated a man in a band before" So you know I'm a drunk, and I come home late And when I get there, I want food on my plate When you're ready for bed You know I want so much more Wasn't long before she got bored I was coming home late, she was keeping score Started knocking around on other mens' doors I started hearing rumors, couldn't be true People started telling me things about you Baby girl, I don't know what to do I don't care what your other man says he'll do 'Cause baby, baby, I'm coming home to you

Progressing/Regressing 04:15
lyrics

Progressing, regressing, But getting somewhere That's how this life's been since I started to care Reaching and preaching, But never too loud That's how these words just tend to come out Silent but screaming, Aware but still dreaming, Alive in the sense that this heart is still beating Lonely but loved, A belligerent dove, Haunted by the view of this world from above Simple schemes, All dreampt up in dreams, That's how these words will all tend to seem Line by line, They will all turn out fine, Give 'em some room, and give 'em some time Silent but screaming, Aware but still dreaming, Alive in the sense that this heart is still beating Lonely but loved, A belligerent dove, Haunted by the view of this world from above Nothing for me, but a song and a tree, Nothing for you but to hear what I see Nothing for them, but to hope that we send, A message of Love on a wandering wind Silent but screaming, Aware but still dreaming, Alive in the sense that this heart is still beating Lonely but loved, A belligerent dove, Haunted by the view of this world from above Haunted by the view, I've been haunted by the view, Haunted by the view of this world from above

Speculation 05:46
lyrics

Can't find a card to lay to end my turn Impatient eyes, they stare with looks that burn The burn pile looks slim with the cards I hold My destination of the deck, my story's untold Play moves fast and swift throughout my smoked cigarette High numbers throw down - I hope I don't forget My card is in the pile; I know its destination I call it by its name Speculation It's what you got, it's what you got Speculation You're on the spot, you're on the spot Speculation No time to stop, no time to stop Speculation

Oneder-Y 05:44
lyrics

Sitting under a pastel sky, creation is the moment that you wonder why Sitting under a pastel sky, creation is the moment that you wonder why So whether you laugh or whether you sigh, the thought moves faster than the time going by, creation is the moment that you wonder why If you give me a song I'll give you a smile, you'll give me a reason to stay for a while If I give you a song could you give me a smile, I'll give you some time if you've got a while If you wear my shoes I'll wear yours in style, we'll trade them right back at the end of a mile, If I give you a song will you give me a smile The sound of the surf on the wide open shore, cleared up my thoughts and opened some doors, The song that she sang of a life far away, had me thinking 'bout life if I hadn't of stayed, and 'bout where I might be if the night were the daytime to me All that you've seen and all the places you've been, are etched like in stone, upon your skin, and there ain't no turning back But nothing that you see is ever gonna last She came to me like the sun comes at dawn, She winked and she smiled, and then she was gone, she's gone, gone, gone, but her song lingers on... (there is nothing that I would not do for you, nothing that I would not give for you, nothing that I would not count as true, if you tell me that it's so and if you tell me to go, I guess I'd better go) Sitting under a pastel sky, creation is the moment that you wonder why Sitting under a pastel sky, creation is the moment that you wonder why So whether you laugh or whether you sigh, the thought moves faster than the time going by, creation is the moment that you wonder why

21 Reasons > The Situation 08:29
lyrics
buy track
21 Reasons I've got 21 reasons to leave, I've got just one reason to stay, It's the finest thing that I've ever seen when she looks at me that way I've got answers upon answers, it's the questions I don't know, Like the first man out on Jeopardy but I try to let it flow And when I go, when I go I'll be gone before you know, Moving on, traveling on, to where those chilly winds don't blow so damn cold Oh, gone before you know This season's just one more reason to get to thinking about the road, This town she bears down on me, with her lying and her cheating and her cold and the time keeps telling me I'm only getting old, I start to believe it when I feel it in my soul But when I go, when I go, I'll be gone before you know, Moving on, traveling on, to where those chilly winds don't blow so damn cold Oh, gone before you know Oh, gone before you know Oh, gone before you. The Situation I set out on the open skies, the world laid out beneath my eyes, I stopped in so I could say goodbye, I turned to look but to my surprise, you had packed up all your things and moved away So I moved on for weeks and weeks, never knowing what i was I should try to seek, I felt just like some god-damn leech, when I headed out for that lonely beach, and I've been living here since forever, since forever and a day So the situation stands like this, my poor heart broken by a final kiss, My soul undone like two minus one, like a rose that never sees the sun, and I know that it's only been my fault So I look on to some brighter day, when the feeling will start to slip away, When time flips over it's tired page, and we're standing on some foreign stage, when the things that I seek all become those things that I sought I'm leaving town, I'm leaving today, you know there's not much need for me to try to stay, I've got a whole lot of places still in my way, I've got a whole lot of things I've still got to say, and a whole lot of things that I have still got to be taught

Maybe I'll Go To Church 03:22
lyrics

Hold on, baby I'll hold on, I can't move on, I can't let go, and I can't hide But someday maybe someday, I'll find a new love I'll find a new life, build a new world, and maybe I'll sing a new song I'll pack up all these memories that haunt me, and I'll leave Maybe I'll go to church, maybe I'll put on a nice warm sweater, maybe I'll watch T.V. maybe nothing's been the same since you left me I hear you found a new friend he holds your hand, you kiss his lips Well, baby I found some new friends too, While I drink beer downstairs, they make love on the second floor, don't matter anymore Maybe I'll go to church, maybe I'll get real high, maybe I'll find some peace, maybe nothing's been the same since you left me Since you left me, my whole world has changed, Baby nothing's been the same

My baby told me just about the other day, that she was gettin' tired of all the games that I play, but pretty mama, you know you've got your games too and don't you remember how I learned all of my games from you My baby told me just about an hour ago, that I should be heading out of her door, she said, "Little boy, you must be on your way, I've got another man comin round in half-an-hour, says all the things you used to say" Well, baby baby, how could you treat me so bad, after all the sweet lovin that you and me had, she said, "Times change, people change, an honey I change too", Then she walked over to the closet and she handed me down my old walking shoes I guess I'd better walk on Baby, baby's got this new diamond ring, I don't even know where she got that ugly thing, some other man, I suppose, sure enough wasn't me so I'll just shuffle down this lonely street, looking for some other kind of girl to meet Well I see the problem here, you know i see it so clear, you wanted to be the only thing catching my ear, but I thought you'd know by now, the music can take you so far and I love you pretty darlin' but I just can't breathe without this here guitar

'Till 03:58
lyrics
buy track
I went down to the Gypsy Shop, just to find out what you've been talking about I asked the women there if she knew your face She said she knew you well but you ain't been around, since well before the sun went down, so I counted that whole scene just one big disgrace It's running in this circle that's driving me insane, Got nothing left to do but learn the rules of the game to play it well at least the best that I can, 'Till I hear from you again People down here are just like people up there, We've all got some questions under our hair, 'bout life on this chessboard and what it could mean, and just who's up there moving around all these pieces anyway? I've been down and I've been up, I've been searching for some holy cup, but all that I found was this old rusty grail

I swear, I've never seen you before In the same way, that I do today Now it's too late, cause I just had to wait And you were gone, by the time I finished this song Night after night, I'm doing alright 'Till I see, that I won't hear from you And I won't hear from you, no, no, not tonight, I won't hear from you
