Winter is Coming

Take time with the love that you have in your hand
Let her know that her love is all that you demand
All that I want is your love
All that I want is your love
Sit on the porch swing in the summer together
Sit with my love and admire the weather
Cause all that I want is your love, my dear
All that I want is your love
Winds picking up when autumn comes near
We can fly kite and go looking for deer
All that I want is your love
All that I want is your love
Winter is coming but ill keep you warm
Sit here together and weather the storm
All that I want is your love
All that I want is your love
Spring has arrived and the flowers return
Drink beer by a fire, watch our worries burn
All that I want is your love
All that I want is your love

Sometimes

Sometimes
It’s okay to wallow in self
Pity
But only for a minute
You see what I need is a sweet melody
It goes:
LA DA DA DE DA DUM
Because what I think and what I said
Is different than the way it should be
And time and time again I say these words
But they mean nothing to me
Oh they mean nothing to me
Lately
I’ve been feeling down and out quite
Shitty
Been having trouble with this little
Ditty
It keeps playing again in my head
Well it said
It said:
LA DA DA DE DA DUM

Leavin' Town
02:19
|
|||
Never say never’s when I’ll come around
Cuz I’ll be there before you if I ever leave town x2
I’ll load up this old car
And we’ll see just how far
The rubber
It will take us
The snow, sleet and rain
May amplify the pain
But the sunny day
Will save us
CHORUS
But I’ll roll through the snow
And I’ll strain through the rain
Slog through the fog
Just to return again
And I can’t say I should
And I won’t say I won’t
But I can’t be let down
If I ever leave town
CHORUS
Emotions run deep
And bonds they get stronger
The hair on my face
Will only get longer
And dreams come and go
And some tend to stick
Others just die
Even more tend to shift
CHORUS
I can’t say I should
And I won’t say I won’t
But I can’t be let down
If I ever leave town

Everybody’s making out
making out better than me
Everybody’s jerking off
jerking off, but still getting ahead
Everybody’s doing it
doing it better than me
Everybody’s getting off
getting off scott free
So please...
please don’t mislead me
Everybody’s coming
coming out to see me tonight
Everybody’s getting laid
getting laid off, but still getting paid
Everybody’s freaking out
freaking out about the littlest of things
Everybody’s making out
making out better than me
Please...
don’t misunderstand me
Chorus

Waiting
06:34
|

I've been waiting so long
I've been waiting so long
I've been waiting so long
To get it done - let's get it done
No more wishing
No more bitching
No more playing around
Come on now - let's get it done
It's time to go
Let's get it done
I've been waiting so long
I've been waiting so long
I've been waiting so long
To get it done - let's get it done
No more swaying
No more delaying
No more waiting around
Come on now - let's get it done
I've been waiting so long
I've been waiting so long
I've been waiting so long
To get it done - let's get it done

Good Ol' Home
05:03
|
|||
living in this place
so old and dark and drafty
but all it takes is you
to make it home
the windows and the doors
broken and unhinging
I'm glad to know you're here
to keep me warm
the water doesn't work so well
the lights they tend to flicker
and the basements gonna flood
after this storm
and when the wind does whistle
through those broken walls
i know it's gonna scare you
from your sleep
living in this place
so old and dark and drafty
but all it takes is you
to make it home
the windows and the doors
broken and unhinging
I'm glad to know you're here
to keep me warm
when the winter comes
and there's snow inside the building
i know that you'll be laughing
as I shovel out the den
but soon the spring will come
everything is melting
watching all the roof leaks
settle in
living in this place
so old and dark and drafty
but all it takes is you
to make it home
the windows and the doors
broken and unhinging
I'm glad to know you're here
to keep me warm
sitting in the front yard
listen to some old Cat Stevens
i love it when you sing
into my eyes
soon it will get better
but for now I'm pretty happy
just to know you're here
i know I'm home

Black & Blue
02:07
|

One and one
The road and the sun
A winding path
Journey’s just begun
Through Buffalo
To buffaloes
Mini Wheats
And the open road
CHORUS:
Sometimes knowing
where you’re going
Can keep you from
an awful lot
And sometimes not
will show you what you’ve got
Two and I
An early morning sky
Some fishing poles
And our heads held high
The afternoon
Arrives too soon
On burnt red backs
And baseball caps
CHORUS
And sometimes it hurts to feel those feelings
And sometimes it’s hard to find the meaning
in all of the little things and the big things too
When you’re black and blue and feeling true
CHORUS
Me and three
Against the night
The water black
And one star bright
A course due north
A light ahead
A bit too far
A rocky bed
CHORUS

A Man in a Hole
02:39
|
|||
A young man climbs to the top of the world
To find some peace and solitude
But 5 minutes later a couple arrives
And without meaning to be rude - they say:
"Will you take our picture? It's perfect!
The sun's out! The sky couldn't be clearer!" and
With reluctance he says, "Here. Looks great.
Glad we captured the moment you ruined my day."
Then he wandered off somewhere where he couldn't be found
To dig a hole in the ground
Days went by and weeks and months
But he still dug and dug and dug and dug
Deeper and deeper he went, til at last he had found
The quietest place underground
Then he heard, "Hey look! It's that guy who's been digging for years!
We finally found him! The myth! He is real!
Come quick take a picture - 'fore he runs away."
But he did and he hid - alone and afraid
That this would only happen again
A man at the top of the world wants to be left alone
And only lonelinesses guarantee can set him free

Memphis
02:53
|
|||
Sittin' on the edge
of a bridge on down near Memphis
Looking back on life
and on better days
Silver linings, day dreams
And a half-had jug of whiskey
Hoping some day
She'll come back to me
I know where I've been
But I don't know where I'm going
But I guess that's how things work nowadays
Dollar to dollar
Day to day
One drop in the bucket's better than a foot down in the grave
Silver linings, day dreams
And a half-had jug of whiskey
Sitting on the edge
Of a bridge on down near Memphis
Looking back on life
And on better days
Sitting on the edge
Of a bridge on down near Memphis
Thinking if the jump is worth the trip

Disheartened
03:08
|
|||
It's okay to be disheartened
It only makes you harder
Take the bad
Get mad
Get sad
And get gone
It's okay to be disheartened
Well I never met a failure
That I could not be told was myself
And losers never win
And the winners always lose
It's okay to be disheartened
