Annabelle I saw you
Riding into town
I had to call you up my dear before I shot you down
It takes a lot to listen
& I've had too much to think
But all that's worse than jumping, babe, is standing on the brink
But I, I been down a while
I, I been down a while
Annabelle step lightly
There's trouble in the air
And precedent has shown this world is anything but fair
That's why I'm always waiting
& that's why you're stuck with me
But either way we're side by side so let's just let it be
[CHORUS]
And time has got a funny way of always catching up
Annabelle stay steadfast
They wanna see you beat
They'd love to crucify you, sink their nails into your feet
Their eyes are made of diamonds
But their chains are made of glass
And they'd be the first to tell you love ain't always meant to last
[CHORUS]

However Well I Go

Down the street the light is fading & the night comes out to play
To kick around the can until it's time to go away
Then the dawn comes to remind me every circle's just a
And every word I ever said is worth its weight in gold
When the rain taps on your window you can say I said hello
'Cause I don't know when I'm going, however well I go
My shadow walks behind me, he's a-bitin' at my heels
And I can't tell you what it means but I can tell you how it feels
There's a burning in my footsteps, there's an itching in my soul
There's a truth that's fast approaching, & I think that we both know
That the sun will rise again someday, just as sure as my heart beats
And the morning light will fall upon an empty pile of sheets

Someday Honey

I am an archetect for days I haven't lived
I'm waiting for the meeting of the circle at both ends
But someday when I call you,
Maybe you'll pick up
Someday honey, someday mama, things are looking up
If forgiving was a bloodsport, you know I'd be the champ
But I'm getting tired of playing, now I'm moving on again
So I'm wiping clean your slate now,
'Cause you've been through enough
Now someday honey, someday mama, things are looking up
I ain't a prophet but I tend to think ahead
But I don't know a quarter of what I've seen you forget
And I still don't understand it,
All these moving parts to love
But someday honey, someday mama, things are looking up

Movin' On
03:32

I saw you down in New Orleans, out drinkin' with the kings and queens
Of parking lots & overcrowded halls
And I knew that there was something there, the way you hid behind the air
And begged me not to look upon it all
I must admit I was confused when you said you were born to lose
From outside, babe, your record looks so clean
And does it ever cross your mind that if you'd look back you would find
Me waiting here, I never left the scene
And I won't try to make my case
'Cause I haven't got the time
I won't blame you, your movin' on
Just don't blame me for mine
We met again within the walls of elemental carnivals
The hall of mirrors made us look so close
But in your eyes I saw the truth, you were detached, you were aloof
You were looking for the end of every show
[CHORUS]
Ooh, and I saw the way you smiled
Ooh, this is bound to take a while
I saw you in your stolen high, I couldn't speak, I had to try
To keep those words down underneath my tongue
But that's alright you've left a part, with every other sorry heart
I've held in every song I haven't sung
[CHORUS]

Along the Shore
00:55
|
|||
|
I was born by the river
And I dare say when I die
I'll be wanting for the water
That never will run dry
So lay me in the muddy
Earth that lies along the shore
Of the river that is running
Running on for ever more
