Train come
Early in the morning
Train come
Start of the day
Train howl
So early in the morning
That train’s gon’ tear through here
And take me away
Rain start
Early in the morning
Rain always comes
Start of the day
Rain growl
So early in the morning
That rain’s gon’ pour through here
And wash me away
That rain does glisten
And that rain does growl
But rain ain’t never done nothin new
But just to pour me out
When I see the train
That train does whistle
And that train does howl
But trains ain’t never done nothin new
But show me out
When I feel the pain
Early in the morning
Pain always comes
Start of the day
Pain growl
So early in the morning
That pain’s gon’ pour through here
And make me go crazy
That pain’s gon’ tear through here
And make me go crazy
That pain’s gon’ tear through here
And make me go crazy
That pain’s gon’ tear through here
And make me go crazy
Crazy
Crazy
Crazy

A Secret Kiss
04:21
|

|
Will you wilt
Or will you tilt
Or will you turn round
Lean into it
It's just like this
A secret kiss
Words like lightning
Words that never miss
And I do not mind if you don't give me the time
I do not mind if you don’t give me the time
I do not mind if you don’t give me the time
You don’t give me the time
So go on and paste
Your pretty face
All o'er mine
And all o'er the place
It's just like this
A golden kiss
Words that fling round
Words to reminisce
And I do not mind if you don't give me the time
I do not mind if you don’t give me the time
I do not mind if you don’t give me the time
I do not mind if you don’t give me the time
And I do not mind if you don’t give me the time
I do not mind if you don’t give me the time
I do not mind if you don’t give me the time
You don’t give me the time
You don’t give me the time
So go on and do
All you do
All you mean to
Go on and leave me blue

Tin Bull

There's a tin bull
By the window
Where your letter
It hit the floor
Like a wind that crept
Or a heart that swept
All your feelings
Through the door
And babe I don't know what
Has just opened up
And I don't know what just finally shut
But there's a new dark wind
That just wandered in
And a scream
Inside your touch
Babe I'm haunted
I am wanted
By this lonely melody
It keeps on crashin' in
With each new gust of wind
It keeps on fallin' sad and free
And I need a string to
Come and play blue
And to accompany
With harmony
Cause here's the part where
The violin comes in
And starts a playin'
And babe I don't know when
All this dream will end
And I don't know where it all begins
But now the wind rise up
And the rain don't stop
It keeps on fallin'
Fallin'
Fallin' in

Take Your Lover
05:19
|
|||
|
Take your lover by the hand
And spin her round again
I know no one understands
How and where you've been
And I know no one really hears
How you really feel
So bring your lover close to you
And whisper in her ear
Now thieves may try and steal away
Steal away your joy
But just sing well as you can sing
They can't steal your voice
And liars got so many words
That travel from their lips
So bring your lover close to you
And show her your best kiss
Thieves always try and steal away
Steal away your joy
But just sing well as you can sing
They can't steal your voice
And liars got so many words
That travel from their lips
So bring your lover close to you
And show her your best kiss
Then take your lover by the hand
And spin her round and round
Take her on the town
And spin her round again
Show her how you feel
Whisper in her ear
Then take your lover by the hand
And lead her out of here

Marjorie

I stop to peer at her from across the road
Where she's standing with her heavy load
I hit the light before she cross the street
Smiling to say
May I pleasure to meet you
And she said
Hey stranger
Just lend me your hand
We’ll talk on the way
You might understand
She says she still sees the ghost when she's out
Tearing through town with a rose in her mouth
And one moon hangs over this masquerade
She’s full of it now
And armed to make that getaway
Right away
But when that rhythm hits your lonely feet
You’ll spill out the bar and into the street
Now she might be my new heart attack
She’s girl in the face
And ghost in the ass
But she might be the brightest jewel
Her hair is long
Her lips are full
Now what we doin round here waiting for
My smile's in your eye
And your eye's on the door
But when I stop to turn and write this down
She moves from the room
We meet up on the way out
Marjorie
Marjorie

Sadie

Sadie will always undress us
She likes to make clouds under glass
And when she squints hard for the message
I don’t think she quite understands
And Sadie is like a new compass
A compass that tweeters and spins
And when she gives out new directions
I don’t think she means what she says
When her hand cuts through
That brittle and blue faded wall
She gets cold so she goes
To button up her coat in the hall
And she said
Something always happens
To bring me down again
Sadie
And Sadie is almost the essence
Of wanting and needing to laugh
But when she gets high in the kitchen
She laughs when I crawl for my pants
The heart makes moves
When you’re really not sure what they’re for
And when she turns to watch me go
My cigarette falls to the floor
And she screams
Go
When it happens
Go and don’t look back
When that rhythm cuts through
To bring you back to where we are
The heart makes moves
When you’re really not sure what they’re for
But Sadie always happens
And Sadie always wins
Sadie

Catalina

How did your fire green eyes turn cold
The way my vision blurs
I hardly want to know
But babe when your toenails scrape the floor
You start to feel them bottles breaking
And when we finally wake the dawn
Your apparition
It moves along
Down from the city
Down to the shore
Right before
Them railwaymen start burnin somethin
Catalina
I’m not at my best
I hardly know which way I’m moving
But babe when we stay out late
I know we stay out best
When you come to be my fire starter
And babe when I’m almost at the end
And all my dreams seem pale and thin
You know babe you got rhythm
It’s in your shoes
And it moves
Like ecstatic blooms of purest lightning
So Catalina
Let’s both get dressed
Before them city shadows rise inside
Babe throw your red heels on
And then your new red dress
I know we’ll get this party started
So dance around me
We’ll dance into the street
Catalina keep dancing
Don’t lose the beat
And babe when them cops catch on
And all the cowards flee
Catalina keep dancing
I’ll take the heat
Catalina just keep dancing
And I’ll take the heat

Rosemary come jump up off the rug
Come on over here
And show me your good love
Cause I been listenin to the wind
Wonderin when you’ll let me in
Oh will you let me in
Rosemary come jump up on this bed
Get over here
And say what you just said
I know there ain’t no one we can trust
So we both now best do what we must
Before we turn to dust
Cause all you do
Just keeps me runnin straight back to you
And all you do
It always keeps me runnin fast
Then strange and sad
And straight on back to you
Sweet Rosemary where you been
Cause I been listenin to the wind
Days crash
Lights flash
It all goes by so fast
All I wonder now is can we make this last
Oh can we make this last
Cause all you do
Just keeps me runnin straight back to you
And all you do
It always keeps me runnin fast
Then strange and sad
And straight on back to you

Say again what you just said
Cause I’m here listenin to the wind

Judy got busted
And she tried not to cry
And when she sit close to you
You start to realize
It’s hard to imagine
What really went down
Judy’s alright with you
She likes you around
And oh what to do
When you get over it
Oh what to do
When you get over it
And it’s over again
Judy got lost in
The holiday sound
She turn round and talk to you
In a voice like a cloud
It’s hard to imagine
You like the same things
And Judy don’t lie to you
She likes what you say
And oh what to do
When you get over it
And oh what to do
When you get over it
And it’s over again
Oh what to do
When you get over it
Oh what to do
When you get high

In the Back Room
04:52

Old man sittin' by the fire don't talk
The old woman's knittin' up his favorite socks
And I'm in the back room
Dreamin' 'bout takin' off
Babe I know it's comin'
But I can't say when
I'm right there dreamin' in the evidence
A lonesome gale
A high note in the wind
A phantom stickin' to my skin
The old man sittin' by the well don't weep
And the old gal's talkin' at him in her sleep
And I'm in the backyard
Singin' with the goats and sheep
Babe I know it's comin'
But I can't say when
I'm right there dreamin' in the evidence
A lonesome gale
A high note in the wind
A phantom stickin' to my
And babe you was always like a child
Lookin' off lost and high and wild
Now like a secret from inside
Just close your eyes
And wait for the surprise
Close your eyes
And wait for the surprise
The old gal sittin' by the fire gets hot
And the old man's puttin' on his brand new socks
And I'm in the back room
Now babe I know it's comin'
But I can't say when
I'm right there dreamin' in the evidence
A lonesome gale
A high note in the wind
A phantom stickin' to my skin
Dreamin' that the dream don't end
Dreamin' that the dream don’t end
Dreamin' that the dream don’t end
