Come my way

Come my way
Come my way
Can you hear me now
Come my way, come my way
Come my way
Come my way
Come my way
You’ve got the time
You know you could come
Come my way
Oh lady luck, it’s been so long
I wondered where in the world you could have gone
You know that everybody loves you
And you’ll do what you do
But you can darken my doorstep any day
You know that it’s true
Hello my one true love, as I live and breathe
Tell me why you’re the last one I expect to see
You know that I owe you, what you owe me too
But if you want your birthday present
You know what you’ve got to do
Oh death, oh death
Yeah I’ve seen you around
Seems like more and more often all over town
You say you’re my friend and it must be true
For in the whole round world I know
That I can count on you

White Horse
04:05
|

|
Every day is a new white horse to ride
Every day is a new white horse to ride
Wake up, wake up
It has arrived
Every day is a new white horse to ride
Woke up by a river
Slept in all my clothes
Lost my honor fair and square
My money, I don’t know
Sun shines down upon me
Dust begins to blow
Rustling in the bushes
Nickin’ sighin’ low
We were making steady time
East side of the creek
Whoa, stop right here then
Let’s have a drink
You could see the golden hillsides
Not more than two days on
One sip then another
That flask and horse was gone

Privilege Waltz
03:40
|
|||
|
On the day you were born
You let out such a cry
Did your mama hear you
Was your daddy standing by
Well how big of a piece
Did you get of that pie
Did you have all the privilege in the world
They can send you to school
And you can go every day
But they can’t make you smart
Now matter how much they pay
You may be sharp as a needle
Or dull as the clay
But it may not help you
It still might not help you at all
Not all the privilege in the world
Some dark summer day
You’re going to want someones love
More than your own life
More than the stars above
You may be god’s only one
Or cursing his name
But he may not help you
It still might not help you at all
Not all the privilege in the world
I’d rather be rich
Most things you can buy
And I’ll keep my good health, thanks
Until the day that I die
To see the good in people
I try and and I try
But it does not help me
It can’t help me at all
Not all the privilege in the world

Restless Spirit
03:17
|
|||
|
Sometimes in the wrong place
Sometimes all alone
Sometimes you can feel it
Sometimes you know
All the earth’s a graveyard
Overgrowing green
Sometimes the old trees
Know what they’ve seen
Oh restless spirit
There are no words
This land will be cursed
Until the changing of the world
Something in the desert
Something on the breeze
Over the hilltop
Something worries me
Ochre on the rock
An outstretching hand
Something to mark
This was the land
Oh restless spirit
There are no words
This land will be cursed
Until the changing of the world
Somewhere you can end up
Somewhere the story goes
Somewhere you can’t imagine
Somewhere you don’t know
Mercy in the long run
Past what we can know
Somewhere long after
The changing of the world

Cold Starlight
03:35
|
|||
|
I wanted you
Like cold starlight
Hidden by day
Shining by night
Impossibly distant
Beyond the unknown
I wanted to be
Your better home
Did you find love
Did you make a deal
What you thought that you needed
Was it real
I’ll never know
If you had the key
I wanted you
Sweet dreams have ended
What will be has come to pass
Come night and cover me
At last, at last, at last

The Consolation Prize
02:47
|
|||
|
There’s something about
The consolation prize
You know I earned it
That thing is mine
But now somehow
Somehow, somehow
It cannot console me
You know I earned it
Staying in the race
I could have quit
But I stayed
And now somehow
Somehow, somehow
It cannot console me
I work so hard
Don’t let nobody down
It should be enough
Don’t want another round
And now, right now
Right now, right now
You cannot console me
The consolation prize
Can not console
I hear the church bell toll
I ain’t ready to go
I know, I know
I know, I know
I know
It cannot console me

Island Home
03:22
|

|
The island is our only home
The island is our only home
The island is our only home
The only home we’ve ever known
The island is our only home
The island is our only home
The island earth, a sea of stars
The island is our only home
The only home we’ve ever known
The earth it is our island home
The island is our only home
In the camp we gathered sticks and bones
The island is our only home
The only home we’ve ever known
The camp it is our island home
The island is our only home
A farmhouse in a sea of wheat
The island is our only home
The only home we’ve ever known
The farm it is our island home
The island is our only home
The body on the shores of time
The island is our only home
The only home we’ve ever known
The body is our island home

The Great American Night
02:57
|
|||
|
I want go when the sun starts sinking
And the shadows are all angling down
When the windows cross the glow
Of the twilight, you can find it
The great American night
Like a prayer, or a wish, always fleeting
It’s a doorway you can step right through
And I want to know what could be happening
In the great American night
Some people say it couldn’t matter
Where you shelter and pass your days
I’m going to live for a chance to disappear
Into the great American night
Ancient light moves over the valley
As it has since the land left the sea
Every living thing feels it coming
The great American night
