Blood in my mouth, blood in my mouth
Don't you try to kiss me when there's blood in my mouth
Blood on my face, blood on my face
Don't you take pictures when there's blood on my face
Blood on my hands, blood on my hands
Don't you like it better when there's blood on my hands

You could be sweet, baby, you could be kind

Just let the disc play
This is a song to give you hope
I wouldn't have it any other way
This is a song to give you hope
When you say

Honey, I'm afraid to sleep
At night, sleep at night

Hold me closer, I am open, I’ve been waiting, don’t be shy
Wrap your loving arms around me, press your face against mine
Once a liar, once a cheater, yes your light went underground
I have seen it here inside me and that light is what was found
Come home, come home sweetheart
Come home bitter heart
Let go and love
Are your broken, are you beaten, are you stranded in your head

Black panther defy the power
Fight the violence with nonviolence
What good is justice if the scales are bent
By a criminal government
Think of the dead in vietnam
Think of the dead in birmingham
Think of the freedom we don't understand
Asleep in bed in a stolen land

When I got home there was blood on the door.
I saw you lying on the kitchen floor.
I ran down the hall and when I saw what he did
and found our little bitty baby lying dead in her crib.

There's a black wind blowing.
Oh, there's a black wind blowing.
There's a black wind blowing outside our gates

What good is remembering
When the thought of you tears at the seams of every dream that I've built since then
It could be anything
Could be standing on a corner in China and somebody will say your name
I thought I was stronger than that
When I was young older people would reminisce I'd say no that's not me
That's not me, its you, it's always been, your ghost just will not rest
Walking the horizon line in my favorite summer dress

I took the train up from Illinois I was followin' threw on a letter you sent
always feared that you'd be true, true to yourself to the better end.
Just kinda happened, or so she said, she was drinkin and lonely and you know the rest.
And he meant nothing, he was havin a stand he said she loves me still and was a second chance

[Chorus]
I don't want to be together, I don't want to be apart,
I don't want of this love for ya honey deep deep down in my heart.

My galveston girl
I hold you like a child
And kiss away your tears
My sweet dewey dell
You've always been my girl
You have nothing to fear
Twisted like flower stems

Dr. King, I think often of you
And the love that you learned from Jesus
Dr. King, I think often of you
And the love that you learned from Jesus

Alabama
Alabama
Bethlehem

I'm just a student of this life, just like my father
I am a stranger to this heart, just like my mother
Oh, and brother you should know
That this heart's still filled with sadness and regret
But I'm learning as I go
To forgive the things that I just can't forget
Sometimes this heart is made of glass
And I often find myself

All day, everyday
I swing my hammer to the metal
On the Northern railway
Always a movie playing in my head
A million movies starring you and me

Moonshine every night
Eating supper by the fire, out in the clear moonlight

Spinning your umbrella over your head
You should be in bed but your here instead
Walking with me towards a midnight swim
I can give you baby what you cant get from him

Hey hey little fighter girl
Its you and me now against this whole wide world
Sleeping together in the lions den

I'm going back to New Orleans
Ain't turning my back on this world of tears
With a head that's heavy and a heart that's sore
Gonna swing my hammer, gonna stop this war

Dying babies in the sand
Hanging kings in ancient lands
God on God, blood to bone

We could sit beneath the evening and let the day turn blue
I could never let the darkness replace the thought of you
C'mon darling let's catch that train to wherever we call God
Maybe it's in Massachusets, or maybe not

It's just you and I
It's just you and I, my dear
Just you and I

Got so lost that I went to church
Sorry God but you made it worse
Made me sit behind a fence
Haunted by the evidence

I guess you don't want me to think
So instead I'll dream and drink
Got too drunk to drive home

Hollow body, bones and shoes
You can never get back what you lose

When will I stop crying?
When will I stop crying?

Oh my dear, I know too well
When I'm in my grave

When I got off the bus it was six in the evening
Snow was blowing across the intersection
For the last six hours I've been lost in a book
So it took me a second to remember what I was doing

Standing in the middle of a bustling sidewalk
Under barren branches silhouetted by street lamps
I reached into my overcoat pocket

Jesus are you real
did we make you up
is salvation what you want
or is faith enough
do you know where i'm bound
do you know who i am
are you just a word i use
when i don't understand

It was bound to happen and it happened today
Life turned to us to say, "I'm about to go your way"
And it's a simple situation now that we became us
There ain't no rust on the happiness bus

And it's Wednesday, Thursday, my day, Friday
Saturday, Sunday, all the rest are fun days
From now on until the very end

It was bound to happen and it happened today
Life turned to us to say "i'm about to go your way"
And it's a simple situation now that we became us
There ain't no rust on the happiness bus
And it's wednesday, thursday, my day, friday
Saturday, sunday, all the rest are fun days
From now on until the very end
Never gonna spend another day without you again

"Lemon Grove Avenue"

If i have my way
I'm never gonna leave lemon grove avenue
Where the summer breeze
Blows through the windows in the afternoon
And all the stars come out at night
And there's a boat out on the sea

There's no street lamps on the road I take
I'm not blessed with brakes
I've got no place to be
The things I love always get up and go
like they're late for a show
well, late they'll always be

'cause it's the little details that derail your dreams

I was born in a gold mine
You were born by the sea
Without nothing, we got something
Memphis, Tennessee, girl
Memphis, Tennessee

Rain outside my window
Rain inside my head

Where was I before you found me?
Who was I and what had bound me?
Where was love and understanding?
Why was living so demanding?

You were on the snow capped mountains
You were in the deep blue ocean
Down below the wind and thunder

If this house is on fire
You gonna run for the door
If the door is on fire
You gonna kneel on the floor
You get down low enough
You learn to love the flame

I've been loving you forever

Make yourself at home, 'cause i'm going out
Across the street to get us some water
'cause this water's brown, and i'm so embarrassed
To have you here but i want you around
Usually i'd sing, or play you my guitar
But i know it won't get very far with you
'Cause you like music that makes you move
And mine has a groove, but it's nothing i can prove

Last night the willows stopped weeping

Everything sat hushed and still

And while my body lay sleeping

I dreamt of Rebecca DeVille

I was standing by the village gates when I first heard the news
The king had sent his men to seize Gabriel's land
And when Gabriel he refused, the men took both his daughters
And cut the wedding ring fingers from their hands
The next three days I heard three times separate similar stories
The king was taking what was ours for his own
Deep, deep down in the pit of my chest my fear turned to fury
When I thought about my family and my home

Hold my hand, little one, the feeling is slipping away
We've come so far you know, God, how I wish I could stay
Hold my hand, little one, the feeling is coming again
We've got so far to go just when it feels like the end

Sing out, sing for the wounded heart
Sing for the lives we've lost
Sing out, sing for the blood of man

I was born on a railroad track
With the weight of the world strapped to my back
Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy

Looking for a life in a graveyard town
If you never get lost, you never get found
Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy
Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy

To look at a baby you’ve gotta be brave
In the black of his eye is your own grave
And something darker you wanna touch
It must be love 'cause it hurts so much

Love, love, love, love

I've been to Egypt, I’ve been to Rome

Dawn breaks across our little room
You're sleeping silently and still
I love you and I always will
Good morning, baby

Wake up, you sleepy little thing
New leaves are blowing on the trees
Today I'll do anything you please

And regardless in the evening
Light is thrown by the setting sun
Speeds along this vast familiar
And silently crosses everyone

It's the light that's changing
It's the light that's changing
It's the light that's changing

William Zanzinger killed poor Hattie Carroll
With a cane that he twirled around his diamond ring finger
At a Baltimore hotel society gath’rin’
And the cops were called in and his weapon took from him
As they rode him in custody down to the station
And booked William Zanzinger for first-degree murder
But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears
Take the rag away from your face

All the people that I once knew
That built cities in my mind
On the mountains and rivers
That I've left behind

And there lives the villain
Who sets me free
I'm waiting for you love

Is who you are now who you want to be now
Or are you someone you don't wanna be?
Is what you wanted what you really wanted
Or is it nothing like you dreamed?

Honey, there's a hole in the life we've made
With thousands of people laughing in the shade
Pointing their fingers at the mess we've made

Hoping that I see you on the street
It's your kind of day
Nothing has the color of your eyes
Train leaving gray

And I'll never love no one
The way I loved you
I never thought that love

Our united states of america
Has quickly become a global empire
Come on
See it now for what it really is
Power hungry with nothing much to give
And violent, all in the name of freedom
Freedom is not domination
I believe freedom has got to come from within

Little airplane in the sky
you point up at it
i watch your face as you watchi it go by
i watch your face as you watch it go by
everything is perfect

where would i be right now
if all my dreams had come true
