Evening Sun

|

|
I'm standing quiet at the railroad tracks in the evening sun and I'm alone
A room is filled with light and silence now in the evening sun and I'm alone
Since you're gone I haven't much to say in the evening sun I stand alone
You broke my heart and then you went away into the evening sun left me alone

A Beautiful Day

See the old man at the corner - all alone
I never promised you I'd write this letter - I never said so
Now I'm living in this weary town but it's quite nice to be out here
Water the plants while I am away
It's a beautiful day
See the old man at the corner - thumb in his mouth
Just out of the door and around the corner - thumb in his mouth
I never promised you I'd write this letter - never done no wrong
Water the plants while I am away
It's a beautiful day
Write me a letter because I'm starving in this weary town
I'm sorry that I forgot about you in all these years
Water the plants while I am away
It's a beautiful day
Now I'm living like I never wanted to - I never wanted this hell
Out here living like I never wanted to - I never wanted this hell
The grass is green in hell, I never told you, I never told you
I swear that I always wanted t write this letter - never meant to lie

Digging For Gold
02:03
|

|
Daddy came home late today
I was in the bedroom
I was watching some TV
Daddy lay beside me
He said, Son, I am so tired
I said, Watch this movie
They're going to tear this building down
He said, Please don't do this to me
Mom was sitting in the kitchen
Reading the newspaper
She said, There is this article
That says we're going to meet our maker
Outside, cars were driving by
I hear they're gonna drive forever
Are there people sitting in there?
We'll deal with these things later
Daddy was a man who was digging for gold
He got shot while acting on this revolutionary show
Left them kiddies all alone
Became a working class hero in his second home

Loyalty
03:26
|
|||
|
On the day my loyalty was tested
I thightened up my guts and ran away
For no matter what it was, I only would have messed it up
And I never really asked, Should I go or should I stay?
And now it's time for the cursing, time for the frown
There's betrayal all around and all the walls are coming down
But if you asked I'd tell you that I'd really liked to stay
But the noises in my head and all the dirt won't go away
On the day my jokers were arrested
I quickly packed my bags and ran away
'cause it wouldn't really matter if they had confessed it all
If you loved or if you cried, I would surely have it my way

It's a new day at the end of march
Seems that winter's finally gone
I wake up to find all our love
Has finally gone wrong
So I lift my head from my dreams of you
And I light a cigarette
But you pretty little smile I can't forget
I know that I'll be walking on
Even though it sometimes hurts
Even though I'm aching for you, dear
I don't need a nurse
I need to touch your naked skin
But I'll never get it done
So I just need a wheelchair and a song
So I'm standing on that hill
That was mine since I've been born
And I'm looking back on all that's left
All tired and outworn
And I'm looking back on all that's left
Not much that has not gone
But still enough of you to write a song
But if we meet again, my love
Some faraway lucky day
I promise that for all you've done
You won't have to pay
So I lift my head from my dreams of you
And I light a cigarette
And your pretty little smile I won't forget

After I woke up I felt sick
My bed wasn't a refuge anymore
The dirt and all the trouble had crept into my tiny bedroom
Were once things were of a white, a white never seen before
In my dream you were coming back to me
With sand and with tears in your eyes
Your white legs spread apart to welcome me
Oh to have you one last time would be nice
I had the idea of seeing you
So I went sown to your home
But when I got inside the rooms were empty
Nobody there, the furniture all gone
So if you want to I will follow you
But how can I read signs in empty rooms
When my eyes are full of tears and full of sand
And resting motionless is all for me to do
So I asked some workers, Where has she gone?
And they led me around to different men
Where has she gone, where has she gone? There's nothing left, not even home!
Then I recognized betrayers among them
Some said you have gone to foreign lands
Some said you just took a ride
Some said you have gone to Heaven
Is Heaven far enough for you to hide?
Well, I felt the roaring of the endless ocean
I felt the salt cracking my skin
I know for sure there's living in there
So I open up my pain to let it in
Underneath the surface there are creatures
Creatures that ain't never seen the light
You can't lay your hands upon them and you cannot gain control
Just dive into the water, dive into the night
Just let go of all your dreams and dream until you die

Fly
02:23
|
|||
|
Fly where I cannot hold you
I'm too alone anyway
Love to watch the sky all on my own
And when you fly where I feel whole
We'll be as close as never
And when you fly where I'm dreaming
Long lost childhood dreams
Of which I can never tell you
Even though I tried at least one thousand times
We'll be as close as never
We'll be as close as it can get
Didn't you hear me calling?
Didn't you hear my heart pounding?
Didn't you hear the car stopping?
Didn't you hear me coming up to your door?
Didn't you hear me knocking?
Didn't you hear the doorbell ringing?
Didn't you hear my heart pounding?
Fly where I cannot hold you
Maybe then you'll be happy
Maybe then you'll stop crying again
Maybe then you'll be laughing again
And we'll be close, or never

Oh, Rennie
02:37
|
|||
|
If I should wake up today
If I should do so, and you never know
Then I will get up and pray
That you left completely, my dearest and closest friend
The house will be empty then
And I'll find something to eat in the fridge
That ou prepared lovelessly
Some frozen pizza and ice cream galore
Oh Rennie, you're haunting me, giving me bas taste in my mouth
And my teeth try to chew, but there's nothing inside and not much coming out
The pain will be incredible
Incredibly vast and incredibly relieving
But I've been hurt before
I'll eat loads of chocolate and drink myself to sleep
Oh Rennie, you're haunting me, giving me bas taste in my mouth
And my teeth try to chew, but there's nothing inside and not much coming out
Oh I wish I could sleep like you sleep, such a motionless sleep
Without bad dreams or this pain in my heart and each hour the need to pee

Horses
02:31
|

|
I've seen the horses ride
Over there at the horizon
Black and free and wild
Over at the horizon
See the horses
So free and wild
See the horses
So strong and mighty
My life is a cage
With no exit that won't hurt somebody
My body is a cage
Rusted, decayed, but still golden

Seaside
02:17
|

|
When I was staring at the sea
The surface, it was rippling
I took it as a sign
There was something coming up
I looked at it very hard
And found out it was mine
When I left my home and kids
And the woman that I miss
I awoke to feeling
I followed these tracks that I found
The pieces ying all around
Crying, crawling, kneeling
My motherland was very big
I had to get out of it
So I stepped outside
The sea, it greeted me with joy
My ship was rocking gently
The dolphins led my ride
There was not much I could take with my
My wife did no longer see me
I was on my way
I got lost among the squalor
That my ancient ocean brought up
She could not make me stay

Smell Of Summer
02:47
|

|
The lights are low, the table's clean / And the rain is running down / I sit by my window / With a whole day to go / The air smells of burned gasoline / From the trucks leaving town / It's early in the morning / And still a whole day to go / The smell of summer's fading out / It's still too early to begin / Remind me not of what I'd lose / If I decided to stay / The sound of water everywhere / Behind the silence where I lay / Shining tarmac memories of footsteps with no aim / Autumn days, they pile up higher / Of years to pass and years that passed / and comfort's just a memory of a windowless room / The smell of summer's fading out / The smell of winter creeping in / Remind me not of what I'd lose / If I returned / The light's are low, the table's clean / And the rain is running down / I sit by my window with a whole day to go / The air, it smells of gasoline / Now the trucks have left town / A hundret thousand memories / And still a whole life to go

Worthless
04:01
|

|
Left my women sick at home
One in heart and one in bone
While I'm riding all alone
While I'm riding all alone
While I'm riding the range all alone
And I'm worthless for the both of you
Now you're sitting there all alone
Waiting for me to come home
But this pain ain't mine
No this pain ain't mine
This pain ain't mine after all
And I'm worthless for the both of you
