The End 01:54
There is so much earth, gonna let it turn while miles of blue sky gonna watch me learn I got too much heart, gonna let it burn. We are apart, but will return. This road's a river, gonna watch it run. I'll see mountains the color of the sun, hear cries of sorrow cruel as a gun but we're together, so life's begun.

Spring blew through my window, came looking for you he said, "I don't feel right, she's got me playing the fool." He's not the only one who's craving your moves. Without your face and your sweet embrace, only one thing I can do 'cause thinking about Your hips and your sweet lips got me drinking wine. Time'll roll and you'll come back home But 'till I see your smile I'll be drinking wine. The blood-red of the sunset makes me feel alright. But it's nothing like your voice when I turn out the light. You've got your own dying fire, it's getting me high. When I come down I drink all night just to keep from crying. Shining through my mind: The early-morning light dancing off your body. Memory ain't hard to find, neither's the bottle when I'm without you.

Well if I were a painter I would paint the breeze. If I were a sculptor I would carve the sea. But I am a singer with an empty throat so I just sing a silent melody. And I've seen every rock and tree between us-- you know that I don't believe in distance. So how come all my heart wants to do Is run a thousand miles back to you. Darling, when we're apart All I can do is come and find you in my lonesome dream and sing a silent melody to you. Driving through the desert, climbing to the sky, I could live a thousand lives inside your eyes. The broken ground is holding up the weight of time, but you and me, we're just passing through.

Old Churchyard, cold orange streetlight one of these days, I'm gonna live right rise in the morning, work till sunset never do nothing I'd ever regret be the kind of man who never backs down from a fight old churchyard in the cold orange streetlight, oh no. Once I had a woman I'll never forget mouth like wine, eyes like sunset. She was my treasure, and Lord, I was a gambler. Could've had her hand but I wouldn't understand her Oh no I could walk to heaven before the night's ended But'll be a thousand years until my heart's mended. Wander over mountains to steal the sun's fire, but it won't burn through half my desire. My heart's sing, "you're never gonna get it right." in the old churchyard by the glow of a streetlight.

Never Heard 05:50
Summer's gonna burn a hole in me. Autumn's gonna cut me like a blade. Winter's gonna bring me to my knees. Spring is gonna make me wish I never heard your name.

I had an awful dream last night: Lit up by a dying light the sea sent up a tall, black wave just to drag the world away. But from the water flew a crow, he said, "Son, you had better know, "these dreams are gonna lead you wrong, "so just listen to my song." and he sang... "Lord, I don't know why the sun shines, but at least I see the light, and I don't know what I'll do when the shadows pull me through but 'till then, I'll be alright." Then he led my by a barren hill, where the sound made my blood stand still: a woman wrapped up in her woe, just screaming down the road. She said, "Why do I even try when all that I love must die? Each season bites me like a cur." So my crow, he sang to her (and I sang, too!) "Lord, I don't know why the sun shines but at least I see the light and I don't know what I'll do when the shadows pull me through but 'till then, I'll be alright." So when the morning struck my eyes, I let no one I saw pass by without a smile and a song, I could sing it all day long: "Lord, I don't know why the sun shines, but at least I see the light. And I don't know what I'll be when the shadows come for me, but 'till then I'll be alright."

Dressed 02:40
When August dressed herself in rain, I knew Summer would be passing. But I've still got you on my fingertips, and I wanna see you again. West Wind, carry my crooked heart away from these Goddamn city lights, and if he don't beat, you can tear him apart, drop him cold, down into the night. Oh why can't I just sing until the world is nothing at all? Rain keeps falling down through the trees making way for Winter to make love to them. All dressed in white, a forest bride, and I wanna see you again.
8.
Nothing's gonna save you from me, Nothing's gonna save you from me, Nothing's gonna save you from me, Nothing's gonna save you from me. You can run through the land, you can swim cross the sea, Nothing's gonna save you from me. There ain't enough cheap wine in this town to keep me from your mind. Lord, when Winter comes, all the shadows rise. Gonna spin you into one more dance, and you know you'll be mine. Nothing's gonna save you from me. I'm your long-lost friend, I'm the cold, cold wind, Nothing's gonna save you from me. Nothing's gonna save you from me. You can drink all night, you can pray till it's light, nothing's gonna save you from me.
9.
Blessed burden, my heart's a golden weight. When she's beating, my eyes, they won't see straight. There's blood on the steps where my feet have lingered too long. My heart's a golden weight, and I ain't that strong. Rolling River, if you ever settle down won't you come and see me, I'll be hiding underground for a thousand lives of the tallest, coldest trees. Oh, River, come keep me company. Saturday night No one to share my drink with I'll close the blinds and tear my heart in two like this song I just wrote for you. Blessed burden, the sun keeps tearing through my every notion of ever meeting you. So beat me, burn me, drag me cross the floor. Then blessed heart, don't you burden me no more.
10.
Changing 04:53
Darling, we are changing, the only thing we can do. You wanna see the ranges, so I guess I will wait for you. And I'll light another cigarette, I'll smoke until I'm ill. The only cure I know for my lonely heart is to drag myself through Hell. Darling, we are changing Like everything is gonna do. The world is only aging, but we're starting something new.
11.
I woke up this morning, knew I had to leave, drag of wine still in my veins. So I held you tight, as tight as sorrow holds me and I sang to you, and to my pain: Won't you stay a little longer this time? Eat my heart, give me back a rhyme. Don't you ever stop until I'm dying. Stay a little longer this time.

about

Burning is a chemical process, it is aging, transformation, a source of destruction, renewal, pain and light. Time is a fire in and through you--it leaves you changed, a remnant of your old self, yet something new entirely.
