Oh! I came in on bended knee.
It wasn't hard to fall for me.
You stood beneath a burning tree
and hoped to rescue leaves.

I figured it's the things I've done
Something about the man that I've become
Hey, look at all the hearts we've won,

I need a woman just to keep me honest
She needs a man just to hold her hair back
She said darling don’t you leave me, don’t you walk out that door
I can’t remember what I made it over here for

She said don’t you have a knight in your chest?
Right where all the love has left?

There's a voice that pulls me stumbling through a symphony
And the less of it I need, the more I get
'Til I'm swept up by the shape of all the centuries
Like an echo in the chambers of my chest
I think she fears I'll be a servant to my history
Or worse, a slave to someone else's misplaced doubts
So I try too hard to kill what's out to kill me
'Til I'm blind and hiding in the lion's mouth

Raise my rifle
Swung for stars
Stole some falcon’s wings
Yeah my city wears a rusty heart
But my oh my
It’s beating still
Age old tales are whispered slowly
Once were colored juvenile

Bring me down
Down by the river
Where the poor like me belong
Cause all your words have failed to deliver baby
But you can’t prove me wrong
hey!

All wrapped up

My love it comes in droves
Lives in cities, towns, and under stones
Topples like dominoes
Too drunk to stand upright

My love it comes in colors
Builds its nest in hands of lovers
Leaves one and joins the other

All at once
Without so much as a warning
He appears in my daydream
I’m sure you’ve seen him too
I wish he held me like he held you
For a moment I thought he wanted to

Then I wake up

The smoke filled my lungs
The morning poured in clean
Sister Whiskey and Father Time
Stood to tell my story and held my soul like rock holds vine
Well, here I stand
A bird in hand
One foot in sea and one on land
And I'm not an honest man

Sun on the rise
Out of my mind
Why do I lose it all of the time

Maybe I’ll go to New York and visit some friends
A fire escape is a balcony
I can pretend

We don’t need it
Is it clear to see that now
In the driving rain
With the river running wild

We don’t want it
Put a name back on it now
With the sun gone down

You said I’d be alright alright
But you don’t really know now do you
And you said you’d be all mine all mine
But you don’t really know now do you
You don’t really know do you

I was young and throwing my weight around
When the rain came we never made a sound

There’s a shadow falling around me
Hiding in the light of day
I don’t know how it found me
But it knows me in a wicked way
Drives me like a Chevrolet

Now my voice doesn’t sound like it used to
When the world was just a one-horse town

I didn’t see the lightning
I didn’t feel the rain
I didn’t hear the thunder rolling in
But it rolled in all the same

I never saw the changing
I never felt the loss
I never heard the absence of the birds

Worldender
With a temper just as grim as you are tender
Never close I make the most of my own surrender
Worldender
Worldender
