Twilight Serenade
04:25
|
|||
|
So here's to you, like brothers tonight
Tried and true, fading in the twilight
I can hear you breathing, see your picture on the wall
I would give you my wings. If they'd help you at all
This city's growing cold, from the needle it heats.
There's howling wind rushing through these Chicago streets
Oh and you were dreaming of Alice, but you got wrapped in her chains
And even midnight is burning, alive tonight, like the blood in your veins
And this is my Twilight Serenade
This is my Twilight Serenade
and I'm singing for you
I'm singing for you
This crumbling moon, dressed in black and white
Well it fades away, hiding, from you ghost tonight
And you said, "hey man don't follow, "
Oh but I was already there
You were walking on tight rope
But you were too young to care
And this is my Twilight Serenade
This is my Twilight Serenade
and I'm singing for you
I'm singing for you
And I'm singing for you

Too Young To Lose
03:36
|
|||
|
Busted up road, like a firecracker ready to go
Sing it out loud, from the city to the streets below
If you would believe that I can make it if I try
With you tonight, with you tonight...
Because we're too young to lose
Give me wings, baby just like a train
We're too young to lose
Well, every heartache is just a prayer for the vain
And my heart's on my sleeve
And all these highway signs are just fairy tales breathing in me
And I know that I can make it last
And I'm praying...
I'm singing, Hey Hey Hey
Down these avenues, gonna drive until the meter reads red
Singing the blues, let this radio burn this engine ahead
If you would believe that I can fake it if I try
With you tonight, with you tonight
Because we're too young to lose
Give me wings, baby just like a train
We're too young to lose
Well, every heartache is just a prayer for the vain
And my heart's on my sleeve
And all these boulevards are burning through the darkness of dawn
And I'm staring at the lights on the dash
And I'm praying
And I'm praying
I'm praying
I'm praying

Far From Home
04:44
|
|||
|
Way to be kid, you did like they did
You hid yourself behind those fancy clothes
You always stop when you hit those walls
You jump back because you're not happy being out alone
Throwing stones at the factory windows
There's a wind hanging heavy and it's swinging you around
Just be yourself boy but watch what you say
Because it's towns like this that don't miss a chance to talk you down
I used to feel so strong
The years went slow while the days grew longer
The ground's so low I can hardly see
So I'll just fly, ride so high
Get the dust out my eyes and let me see the light
Shining far from home
My head is clear, but my heart is aching
Just sing from the rooftops 'til your voice grows hoarse
Just stand composed but I swear I feel my hands they're shaking
I'm looking for a city I can call my own
I used to feel so strong
The years went slow while the days grew longer
The ground's so low I can hardly see
So I'll just fly, ride so high
Get the dust out my eyes and let me see the light
Get the dust out my eyes and let me see the light
Shining far from home

Mother To The Moon
03:17
|
|||
|
Oh my lady, sweet lady, ring them bells for me
Because i am waiting to see you again from across the sea
Ooh you were a mother to the moon
But I am the light a million miles away
Rosemary is in the window and she's counting the stars
And like Orion with his arrow and his bow i am reaching eastward trying to find you where you are
Ooh I'm not the only one for you
And like a boat with no oars i am standing on these shores for you
Like a blanket of city lights your eyes shine like the fourth of July
And there's a diya in your window babe, but the fire don't know which way to fly
Ooh and through the street cars of this train
I saw a light it was dying as Orion slowly faded away
Oh my lady, sweet lady, ring them bells for me
Because I'm still waiting beneath the darkness for you to set me free
Ooh and in the morning I'll be gone
But every night with the moon I'll be the light in your room 'til dawn

This one's gotta little blues in it, for ya
This one's gotta little blues in it, for ya
This one's gotta little blues in it, for ya
Ever wish the streets were filled with music
Ever get tired of just waiting around
Ever had someone mean so much to you that they start
to drag you down
This one's gotta little blues in it, for ya
This one's gotta little blues in it, for ya
This one's gotta little blues in it, for ya
Ever want to do battle with the ocean
Stand up after each wave knocks you down
Keep on clapping those hands like a drowning man
And say 'God dammit, I won't be pushed around"
Ain't it funny how it all seems A O.K.
But in the end it's like planting roses on a winter day
It taste like sugar but it burns you to the bone
I don't need your pity, I've got plenty enough of my own
This one's gotta little blues in it, for ya
This one's gotta little blues in it, for ya
This one's gotta little blues in it, for ya

Dancing Scarlet
05:11

Window light, a lover's lament
Scale these walls, damn that cement
'Cause I'm trying to keep your eyes from burning me
You're so tired, but it's never enough
City girls always acting so tough
And I'm sinking, spinning from the way you're turning me
You don't know the first thing about being in love
It's hidden in the smoke rings that you blow up above
And I'm Dancing Scarlet through the night
Dancing 'til I get it right
But I can't let you go, and I can't let you go
Satellites of silver and gold
Cheap wine by the side of the road
And I'm running wherever those street lights will carry me
You shine just like a diamond in the pouring rain
Whispering through the rails like a ghost off a speeding train
And I'm Dancing Scarlet through the night
Dancing 'til I get it right
But I can't let you go, I can't let you go
No I can't let you go
I can't let you go
No I can't let you go
I can't let you go

Burning Daylight

Burning daylight, he says he's alright
I swear to God I never left home
Sunday morning, he's always on him, and I don't know why he keeps wasting his time on me
Where do you go when your river runs dry
Chasing those ghosts was the most you tried (to stay alive)
And I'm not gonna bend or burn away
So stand right here my friend on these lonesome days
Black as midnight, broken brake lights, I know you never thought I would believe
That day is dawning, grace is falling, and I can see the smoke and the dust clouds rising high
You try and you break me but still I rise (I've got too much pride)
I'm running on empty but I can't hide these tired eyes
And I'm not gonna bend or burn away
So stand right here my friend on these lonesome days
Say what you gonna do boy
Oh when they try to drag you down
Where do you go boy when they steal away like shadows that drive you miles and miles from home
Where do you go when your river runs dry
Chasing those ghosts was the most you tried (to stay alive)
And I'm not gonna bend or burn away
So stand right here my friend on these lonesome days

Take Me Away
03:54
|

|
He only drinks Bourbon when it's raining
Gives a toast to the ghost of Rimbaud
And she ain't got nothing that will capture his heart
And like a soldier, in the wind, through the doorway he goes
Girls on the street dressed in neon
Damn son is that all you got?
Well I'm dreaming of church bells and carnival shows
And God knows it ain't easy when you run out of bridges to burn
So take me away
So take me away
Whiskey
Hey man, do you know where I am?
Singing 'hey child, stay where you are'
Well I know these ain't no prison walls
But I'm stuck inside these bars
And I don't know where I'm going, our how long I'll be there
So take me away
So take me away
Whiskey

Shake 'Em Down
03:35
|
|||
|
Well I've got this megaphone
But I can't sleep at all
And it's ten below in Montreal
And I'm slack-jawed and stuck outside
Well I've got these orange peels and this stack of dimes
And these staircase blues that are gonna blow your mind
I'm a straight shooter
Man I like your shoes
Get ready boy 'cause it's coming round
I can't even feel my feet now touching the ground
And I'm wondering child how long it's gonna take to shake 'em down
Well I've got this sledge hammer
So I can break these stones
I've got cheap cologne, so I won't be standing along
What's a matter, can I shake your hand
I've got these slot machines
But only nickels and dimes
Can I have a minute, babe, of your time?
No, you hurt me with the things you say
Get ready boy 'cause it's coming round
I can't even feel my feet now touching the ground
And I'm wondering child how long it's gonna take to shake them down

Irish Eyes
04:07
|
|||
|
With her dancing shoes on, like some furious dawn
She slips through the faces in the crowd
Three sheets to the wind, I've been whiskey'd, I've been ginned
And I'm breaking out, I'm screaming so loud
Well she's wounded, but her hair is on fire
And she sings like an angel in the choir
Can't see roses without seeing the briars
So I had to let her go
And she left me with those Irish Eyes
Oh she left me with those Irish Eyes
There's one thing that I remember when I was staring down the line
All you sweethearts are just criminals in disguise
And all the local boys, they're all screaming, like they're the last living souls alive
And I'm stumbling through the door like a fool tonight
Well this heart's full of whiskey and blues
And she spins in those dancing shoes
If I can't win, I'm gonna play like I can't lose
So she had to let me go
And she left me with those Irish Eyes
Oh she left me with those Irish Eyes
She left me with those Irish Eyes
She left me with those Irish Eyes

Final Hour
04:33
|
|||
|
Final hour, final day
Final flower, final rain
Another lover, waiting on another who ain't never coming home
Another woman, another ghost to me
Final hour, final day
Another battle, lost along the way
Another preacher, saying all that you ever knew is not real
The final spark before the darkness breaks
Final hour, final day
Final words that I could never say
Final love that they can never take away
Flesh and bone, another stone, hanging over me
