Crying in the Rain
|
|
I'll never let you see The way my broken heart is hurting me I've got my pride and I know how to hide All my sorrow and pain I'll do my crying in the rain If I wait for stormy skies You won't know the rain from the tears in my eyes You'll never know that I still love you so Though the heartaches remain I'll do my crying in the rain Raindrops falling from heaven Could never take away my misery But since we're not together I pray for stormy weather To hide these tears I hope you'll never see Someday when my crying's done I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun I may be a fool But till then, darling, you'll never see me complain I'll do my crying in the rain I'll do my crying in the rain I'll do my crying in the rain I'll do my crying in the rain |

Early Morning
|
|
Early morning Eight o'clock precise I see the lonely August sun arise Say you know You will Move me like you do Out on the fields... I'm waiting the whole night through Early morning, early morning, yeah Ran the whole way Down to the tracks Through the doorway Then a last look back Say you know You will Save me like you do Out on the fields... I've waited the whole night through Early morning, early morning, yeah I climbed all the stairways To find the rooftop clear Got the shotgun lying with me here Say you know You will Move me like you do Out on the fields... You know how it feels, yeah Early morning, early morning, yeah Early morning Eight o'clock precise |

I Call Your Name
|
|
We got married on a cold mid-winter's morning We said our lines Then kissed And it was over Those pronouncements had such weight I guess they made us hesitate Hesitate When she moved her hips And swayed in my direction I thought we could make it yet And beat the isolation But in that gentle dark Man, we tore ourselves apart Through fire and rain Through wilderness and pain Through the losses, through the gains On love's roller coaster train I call your name ... We used to laugh Is the fire dying, babe It hurts to ask Let me hold you for awhile |

Slender Frame
|
|
Your coat is hanging loosely On your slender frame There's many roads to lave by But few come back again I don't believe it I believe it Take a look around and see What's stopping you is stopping me One moonless night and we'll make it right And vanish in the dark of night Pack up your things and go Run down the road, don't take it slow Pack up your things today and run away Yeah, run away You say it's useless crying Never got you far You claim there's none as lonely Lonely as you are I don't believe it I believe it Take a look around and see What's breaking you is breaking me One moonless night we'll make it right And vanish in the dark of night |

East of the Sun
|
|
Half of a letter Tells half a story The way I see it It's half the worry Where I came from I forgot too soon East of the Sun And west of the Moon Money talks And hey, I'm listening I've lived without it Enough to miss it Where I'm going I'll get there soon East of the Sun And west of the Moon Ooh, never gonna get there later You know, I wanna get there soon Never gonna get there, baby On a desert road to home East of the sun And west of the moon Another day Leaves me aching I try to wake up But something's breaking Here inside me Deep and hollow A sound that no other sound could follow I know the pain Before the wound East of the Sun And west of the Moon |

Sycamore Leaves
|
|
Can't stop thinking 'bout it It fills me with unease Out there by the roadside something's buried Under sycamore leaves Wet grounds, late September The foliage of the trees I came upon this feeling that someone's lying Covered by sycamore leaves And I could never face it And take a look and see And I could never break out And shake it's grip on me |

Waiting for Her
|
|
Waiting for her That's all I ever do Waiting for her So why didn't I Take the measures justified Our love has always been the same She comes, then goes away again Oh yeah She used to say We didn't have the breaks we should've had Coming our way But why didn't I take that time and put it right Our love has always been the same She leaves me standing out in the rain Oh yeah Send her my love She's all I'm thinking of Oh yeah I'm telling you And when she's sleeping by my side Eyes closed, all knowledge trapped inside Oh yeah Why didn't I Take the measures justified Send her my love She's all I'm thinking of Oh yeah I'm telling you |

Cold River
|
|
I took a ride in an automobile Pushed my hands out against the wheel Asked a girl if she needed a ride She said, 'Sure, babe, but I wanna drive' Hey now, wait awhile We're going down with a smile Cold river, she took me down Cold river, she took my pride Had to stop on account of the storm Seemed like years since I'd been warm We drove all night till the tires blew Got in the back and did what you do Hey now, wait awhile We're going down with a smile Cold river - she took me down Cold river - she took my pride |

The Way We Talk
|
|
Sometimes the way we talk isn't all that good We can't change though we know we should Baby, these fights we have aren't always fair Was this problem always there If I could, I'd change, I swear I I could, I would, I swear |

Rolling Thunder
|
|
It's the weight below us And our fate before us Like a rolling thunder Rolling on from under Don't ever leave this way I know it's getting harder, but hey If your world should crumble, yeah And the rain gets in Running through your skin Soaking you outside in The rain... see it falling But I don't know how long it will be Until the storm's over But I'll wait I will Like the years of silence To the growing violence Like a rolling thunder Rolling on from under Don't ever leave me this way Wait a little longer, yeah, stay Through the night I tumble, yeah When the rain comes in I will shed my skin Losing it from within The rain, see it's falling But I won't be leaving your side until All is over I'll wait I will So many lifetimes you've been waiting for it All through the good times when you tried to ignore it You hesitate It's come too late You hear the sound Of when wheels engage |

(Seemingly) Nonstop July
|
|
Walking by strangers Stranger than me We talk of the future Between you and me Sweet little darling Where will we be Sweet little darling Where will we be It's hard to conceive it All comes to an end A joke when it's funny, well I laugh and pretend We're fools to believe it We're fools to try |
