If anybody asks what's new I say, "not much," and it's mostly true, But when my stars align with you Then I will write my book. I turn my face from all the rage Playing on a grim, dark stage, But you've shown me an open page And I will write my book....

I left the yard then came back in, I drank up your bathtub gin— And though I lived, it left me weak But I raise myself back up to speak… For it hit me hard, the mandolin That cried just there inside your door— And though it left me high and dry I know t...

I'd like to see your badge Who are you to be so brave? With one arm free to catch yourself And you're using it to wave; Who are you to be so strong That you can leave it all behind? Laughing in your sleep And trusting in the kindness of the word Smoke...

I might just change my mind Sometimes you can never tell Where a story will unwind How deep is the shallow ground Sometimes you would never guess Who's all talk and who just might Find a way or lose themselves On the king's highway tonight I am just...

Somehow I wound up with the keys I guess it’s still my turn to close, I’ll give the pastor hit last drink for free And maybe have my ride home when he goes. But I’ll be the last one out I’ll leave it all behind me like it was — A good night’s one that f...

The day draws a shade Pulls the thread of your frayed lace undone, It falls like the evenings That charm then devour their young— The face of the moon On the river will shiver and run, From belief to surrender And I want you to lead me on The quiet of...

I can't stay here in my room I can't hold my own against the heavy lean Of your perfume; That tries to keep your pillow down and low Across my face As if what lingers here of you could Take my breath yet still be my saving grace Lover, if you rise Love...

Oh, my dear, I’ve swallowed the moon, And left it dark like a ring Burned on a spoon. But now all the stars They fall around you, And land at your feet To light up the room The sign of the times, The rules of the road, And our coat of arms all screa...

I know she's right behind me now without looking back. I know she will untie me; how, then, will I pay for that? And like she was the railroad Like she was the lost world Like she was the big hand turning back the sea. Like she was the raging fl...

Holy cow, look what you've done You've got me now so I can't speak; I wonder how you turned out the stars I hear your laugh Like falling railway cars, Far and away, peaking through the bars Safe behind your own lock and key --safe for now from me God...

Lincoln Street is howling It's empty, growing colder, The night has come on limping and It's bleeding from the shoulder. Headlights fake a prison break Of snow that rages and dies, It's lost its will upon this hill As one time so did I. But here comes...

The ground wants you back The ground wants you badly The ground wants you still Like some lover, so madly. It pulls at your feet, Gets into your nose, Onto your bed And under your clothes, Loves you madly So madly Madly Loves you madly The sun wa...

How beautiful you've made yourself How cruel you've become, How so much like another That it's no surprise That I don't recognize you now so Beautiful and cruel You're the meanest flower… You raise me off the ground To see how far there is to fall,...

Everybody knows the crash Left me on my back, Everybody knows that this is Just my medicine; I staked it like a claim And it pushed me like a broom Now I’m straighter than a razor, Well anyway, I will be soon Come sit down beside me Your cripple litt...

I’ll keep your monkey I’ll treat him good I’ll talk to him like he talks to you I’ll cut your corn And I’ll keep it dry And maybe someday, someday, someday baby You’ll come back to me Maybe someday, someday, maybe someday You’ll come back I’ll dres...

Whose chickens are those in my yard? They pick at every shiny thing, Stitching down this earth so cold and hard, Low and tight across my wings, And when they're calling over me, Their unholy, fitful song … Odetta, Odetta Please carry me along My bone...

Just before the crash I was at the bridge I remember now, somebody shouting But I couldn't hear too well And when it went into a dive We all came off our feet And just like he meant to nose into the lake He did so, perfectly Just before the crash I...

One day when the weather is warm, I'll wake up on a hill, And hold the morning like it was a plow, And cut myself a row And follow it until I know better by God than I know now. There was no taste of spring In the breath you blew away And nothing of a...

Norman, take the wheel I’m feeling none too well A light has filled my face But I can’t feel my hands; Take my jacket and cover me And keep the birds off of my shoes. And take me back to your house And turn on the light, Everyone must pass this way,...

I saw Willie Mays At a Scottsdale Home Depot Looking at Garage Door Springs At the far end of the 14th row His wife stood there beside him She was quiet and they both were proud I gave them room but was close enough That I heard him when he said out lo...
