A cut-out picture of a sugar tart With olive skin and a purple heart, Concrete shoes, and it's just the Start Of bigger things unseen. Heroes of our glory days Ride upon the hip-hoorays Of hometown girls who've been displayed In dirty magazines. "And...

Dear Marion, as I write this down— Dear Marion, I just make the bed then I need To go lie down. But Baby knows that I love to cry Over every little thing, I just sweep the yard and wait For the whole world to change …any minute now From across the roo...

Safely in strong arms I lie now, Torn, the flags, but still they fly now; Memories of the cold Decembers Trampled roses, cloves and embers— Gone the shadows deep divisions That trade on hopes with steep conditions… After every sorrow comes a joy, But ev...

A fence is stretched across my brow A divided country: then and now, And you the border guard My caravan waved off the track With dusty miners hid in back, Their faces glowing hard … Bruised and black and hunkered down, From sparkling fuses underground,...

Hey, look alive I’m coming down There’s no one Could stop me now No rider's pleas No riding free Just save your skin One for me Oh no, not this So close How could you miss? For the one and only Mona I keep a place Deep down in my coat And hid...

There's a fireman's wedding tonight In the Cloverland Dell There's a hook and a ladder And we'll dance 'Neath a big paper bell, And everyone will be there And we'll all wish them well As if all news will be good news from now on As if all news will be...

Take that noise out in the street, This rubble out from under my feet No rest for the weary in here, And make a fuss, you're a volunteer. These days, they lord above me Growing mean as they grow shorter, Like a flag on a closing border now... Closing ri...

Aaaah come sit beside me, That'll do for now The night has come and left me Just the light that you allow. Come speak my name, Fill my head with all such foolish dreams My flesh and blood is no more real to me Than what they seem My love for you is bu...

Of course there was no gold mine I freed the dogs, burned their sled I killed the guy asleep in bed I pushed him off into the drink Who needs to know from I told you so? Go tell it to your lord I said go tell it to the lord I was gonna be the bride Of...

Here comes the night, there go your knees, reaching for the floor. You say I'll stand guard down here, she stands in the door, With a pony on the tether pulling cold and sugarcane. There go your knees. And there she goes. She's a-hauling cane like it wa...

I like when I can stand up here When the night is cool and clear And everything is at my feet, Nothing in my head; Words, they seem so thick and slow You can kill them all before they go, Watch them tumble down and spin And leave them there for dead A...

Darkness settles on the ground And leaves the day stumbling blind, Coming to a quiet close And maybe just in time: We'd almost lost the heart to know How to keep our best in mind, We'd almost lost the heart to know How to keep our best in mind. Time h...

I will come back for my things then I'll go the way I came back down your crooked steps two at a time; And to the morning sun I will call as I run as if it waited for me now to shine. This is my good fortune now at last this is all I never knew to ask...

His foot held the door, To the alley in back Where the hotel's kitchen let out And the night butcher stood 'Neath a dim iron moon And spoke to himself right out loud Spoke to himself right out loud I gave him some room And waited for you, Sat on the...

We are gathered together, We are hidden from view— In a tangle of laurel, we tear at our sorrow Like bread and we start up anew; Where a circus stands blazing And steam engines brake and whine, In a razed hobo jungle your lost and found wonder Has risen...

Teri comes in laughing Shakes her coat off And I just can't bear to look Anymore I hear somebody laughing I just figure, I've been took She stands right behind me With one hand on my back My eyes are closed At first I think she speaks to me But when...

They're showing a movie on the side of the bank Oh, I'm in love with all creation And the warmth of the hood of the car in the dark Oh, I feel I'm an angel in waiting Where time is alive in the dark of your face, In the battles we've won, lost or misplac...

Outside your crowded doorway past the steel and mortar the avenue before you, you walk beside yourself and me. How well do you hear me and what do you recall about the dust on everything you see? If the morning leaves you with just the afternoon in t...

That old Kentucky moon was shining bright as day The stars were all alive in the Milky Way The pilot said, "If you look close, there's Frankfurt on the right" I flew over our house last night Thirty thousand feet below me, you were fast asleep Thirty tho...
