Meet me after midnight
On a distant shore
Tell me all the little things
You wish you could ignore
We could drown our sorrows
Down by the sea
All of my accomplishments
Have abandoned me

But I
Still love you

It’s been in head
What did you say
I think I’m goin’ public with the way I feel today
It’s been in mind
What did you mean
Sixty minute shower
I still can’t get myself clean

Monday mornin’ came without warning
I tried to avoid it in vain
I am caressed to death with lies
Under this burnin’ sky
Tuesday more of the same
Tip-toein’ around
Deafened by the sound
Of this ancient wood
Someday I’ll love you better baby
Like I know that I should

Leave us alone here
I’m too tired to fight
Days are slow
Nights are long and
I don’t care who’s right
Anymore

Get on an early train
Sunshine, snow and rain
You’re always on my mind
So much for letting go
I guess I’ll never know
Towns and time keep rushing by
Tip-toein’ around
Deafened by the sound
Of my worried mind
Someday you’ll get what you deserve
Honey you sparkle and shine

Tell me something
I don’t already know

She likes six feet under
She like big love
She like the summer
She like warm gloves
She love her children
She got good friends
She like guacamole
She like happy ends

And
She likes me
She’s my girl
She’s my baby

She like the taste of vodka
She like good food
She like to boogie
She got good moves
She like pretty flowers
Perfume so sweet
Sleepin’ late on Sunday
She like the beach

She like cotton candy
Sugar snap snow peas
She like jewelry
Expensive or cheap
She like vacation
Any time of year
She like shoes and handbags
Wish you were here my baby

Far in the distance
I mean the future
I’ll get a much needed rest
I’m tryin’ hard
To stay out of the gutter
Sometimes it scares me to death

I wanna understand
What you were going through
But I just can’t relate
Seems to me you should’ve tried a bit harder
Now it’s a little too late

I am a man
Suffering
A once future king
You believe what you wanna believe
But I know of
Sweet evil things

Give me my freedom
I ain’t your lover
Hell
We ain’t even friends
I’m gonna lie like an old dog gonna lie
And wait for the end

Sweet evil things

You wear your sadness well
The smile that’s on your face
Is painted on in red…full of grace
You’re safe inside your room
Hey we are all the same
I want someone to love and blame

Don’t get too near the sun
But it feels so warm
Here I come unholy sun

C’mon baby rock
C’mon baby roll
C’mon baby shine, shine, shine
Like those days of old
C’mon baby bleed
Like a summer moon
C’mon baby shine, shine, shine
Just like new

Your velvet curtain blue
Can’t stop the dawn of day
With our without you it’s on its way
You think you know the truth
‘Cause you got battle scars
But we are not at war sweetheart

You been gone so long
Hey the city lights don’t make a great skyline
Been gone so long
I can’t wait
To get you off of my mind

I have seen you crashin’ angy
I have seen you paper thin
I have seen you suffer silent
When the walls were closin’ in
I have seen you climb a mountain… reaching high wanting more
I have seen you in the gutter
With your face down in the floor

Avalon… I am thinking about the promises of tomorrow
Avalon… You can save me from myself and all of my sorrow

I could disconnect my lifeline
To this world and what comes next
I would love to hear your voice
But you destroy me with a text
Did you just do something stupid or am I just getting old
Is there nothing that can phase me
Is my heart just growing cold

Someday baby… I will be fine
Sometimes sunshine… Gets me high
Up at the lookout… In the snow
Restin’ in pine trees
Ole Barbo

There’s a dog buried on a mountain
Shot dead thought he was a deer
I thought I could see forever
Man the years they disappear

Trash talk and chemicals…every day
Bullshit and rhetoric is all you say
What kind of doctor makes a bomb
Give me medicine
And I will be gone

There was a time when I did believe
Thank you for everything
Now I gotta leave
Maybe someday we will find
That these are the best days
Of our lives

I thought I would live forever
Man the years they disappear

If I had the nerve
I would get in the car
I would get in the car I would drive real far
I would
Go to Mexico maybe Ontario
Love you less and get out of this mess

If I had the nerve
I would fall in line
I would fall in line give you all of my time
I would
Give you everything
More than everything
Lose myself and go out of my mind

If I had the nerve
I would fade away
Fade away with each passing day
I would
Believe anything
Believe everything
Lose myself and have nothing to say

Hey the last time that I saw your face
Touched your hand fell on your gaze
I think it was a sunny afternoon
Letters from the young at heart
They grace the wall...become the art
Built to last
But taken down to soon

I am Feelin’
Angry and amused
I hope that when you think of me
You smile un-mistakenly
And I will try to do the same for you

Hey the seasons come
And the seasons go
Like the people that we know
I’ll thank you now
For the time well spent
Whatever things you give and take
Whatever promises you make
You might hide ‘em from me
But not from you

I am Feelin’
Peaceful and confused
I hope that when you think of me
You smile un-mistakenly
And I will try
To do the same for you
Hey we can do only what we can do

Dirty fingers
And mysteries
Tamed my demon…temporarily
Burnin’ passion
Boiling blood
Dig a hole
Fill it up

I am reminded of you
With every breath that I take
Oh the evening sky pink and blue
Falls into Emerald lake

You know I love you
The way that you are
Make a wish on…the brightest star
I can believe you
But that ain’t enough
Dig a hole
Fill it up

If it don’t kill you
Then you live with a scar
You know I love you
The way you are

Midnight in Mississippi
It came a knockin’
On my door
I know what you’ve been up to
Said so the lady
At the general store

Please sir don’t let me linger
I am a victim
Of what you say
Come back offer your judgement
But don’t let justice
Get in your way

I hear my heart beating
I feel the blood drain
From my veins
Better concrete and barbed wire
The weepin’ willows
Cry in vain

Seven winged ladies
Lay across my cut and bloody feet
Sufferin’ in silence
Prayin’ for my soul to keep
