Sometimes in the Dark

Sometimes in the dark I can see it real clear
when there's noting to look at, and nothing to hear
and I think about Jesus and the things that he said
and they say he was a good man, but he ended up dead
and then the light comes shining through
and makes it hard to keep my eyes on you
but sometimes in the dark
sometimes in the dark
sometimes in the dark I can see it real clear
And I want you to know me, and i want to know you
but the way things are falling, there aint much we can do
and i thought that i saw you, but i could be wrong
it felt like forever in the dark before the dawn
and then the light comes shining through
and makes it hard to keep my eyes on you
but sometimes in the dark
sometimes in the dark
sometimes in the dark I can see it real clear

I Don't need nobody

I don't need nobody to tell me I'm lonely
I can see there's no one here at all
and i don't need to know this room is empty
to read the writing on the wall
and i don't need you to tell me that I'm crying
cause i know I'm crying all the time
and i dont need you to count my blessings
and tell me everything is fine
I just want somebody who can see me
the times that i can't see mycelf
and i want some body to hold me
and make me feel like someone else

Angelina Broken Claw, tell me what your Brother saw
Were you with him? did you see it too?
Did you hear the shooting guns? Were you scared, did you run?
Can you tell me, Where's your Brother now?
1000 ponies in the grass, shining gold and running fast
Came and carried him away
Now he rides the trail of sorrow, in a land with no tomorrow
In a camp on the other side of the sun
Angelina Broken Claw, Tell me 'bout your Ma and Pa
Did you see them Standing in the fire?
Did anybody say a prayer? Does anybody even care?
Does anybody wonder where you are?
1000 ponies in the grass, shining gold and running fast
Came and carried them away
Now they ride the trail of sorrow, in a land with no tomorrow
in the camp beyond the sun
1000 ponies in the grass, shining gold and running fast
They're here to carry you away
Angelina Broken Dream, rides beside the silver stream
And follows the setting sun

When the Winter comes and the Sun goes down
And my old friends come back around
We got this shotgun shack feeling like a Tomb
With 40 watt bulbs and empty rooms
Late at night when I'm all alone
Staring out into the Twilight Zone
I can see you cryin' in your wedding dress
Your hair like fire and your face a mess
And what goes around
Comes Around...and goes around again
And I turn around and follow you down…Hangin’ around ...again
There's a paradox in every paradigm
I thought I needed more money but I needed less time
I was a spaceship looking for a place to land
Like a drop of dew on the desert sand
And what goes around
Comes Around...and goes around again
And I turn around and follow you down…..Hangin’ around ...again
With Battle cries and Lullabies
On these broken wings I can barely fly
I tried to circle my wagon like I've done before
But I would up knocking on your back door
And what goes around
Comes Around...and goes around again
And I turn around and follow you down…I’m just hangin’ around ...again

Someone to Trust

I thought I heard you cryin’, I thought I heard you say
An echo in the distance not so far away
I still don’t understand, it’s not what we had planned at all
I used to think I had a reason but now I don’t recall
You was bankin’ on it, accounts were overdrawn
You heard someone singing and it was not your song
There’s a grave beside the cradle, the wound of life is fatal.
Just when I understood your pain it started to rain
loneliness is scary and I’m so ordinary
I need someone to help me through
I’ve been counting years and I’ve been counting minutes
And Now I am counting on you
But when the truth appears it’s never really clear
We’re just searching thru the ashes and the dust
For someone to trust
There aint no point in running
There ain’t no place to go
There ain’t no ancient secrets there’s nothing left to know
Love was so ironic and you bet your life upon it
You’re just a product of the things I have to loose every time I’d choose
You can scream and moan
Everything you own will fade
And every enterprise and all those hollow eyes will say … goodbye
I don’t understand it but I don’t care no more
I only know I need it don’t even know what for
I had a will of iron but lately its begun to rust
And I’ve never needed anything as much as someone to trust

Magnolia wind is dancin' in the Pines again tonight
Savannah moon is kissin' on a Star behind a Cloud
Do I see your face, In the sky to night, and hear your voice in the wind
And do the things that we said that we didn't mean
Hang like ghosts in a movie scene
Sunrise and coffee and your empty chair
Roosters still crowing for the day
The neighbors cat comes round and checks on me agan
There just ain't much to see
Will I see your face in the clouds tonight, and feel your touch in the wind?
Will the shadows dance that lonely waltz
And the raindrops fall like tears again
But I can't dance, and its too wet to plow
I don't like dancing alone anyhow
Its been raining here for a week or two
It rains every time I think of you
Can I see your face in the clouds tonight, and hear your voice in the wind?
Will the shadows dance that lonely waltze
And the raindrops fall just like tears again

Death came by to see me yesterday
we had a talk, She said she couldn't stay
She had a heavy date, she didn't want to be late
Death came by to see me Yesterday
I was a little sad as I watched her ride away
but she smiled on me and said she'd be back someday
I heard her mention your name
to her we're all the same
Death came by to see me Yesterday
There's a chilly wind that's blowing down the avenue tonight
you can light a fire, but you still won't see the light
Death came by to see me Yesterday
She looked a little pale but she said that she felt OK
She didn't stay too long, but she helped me write this song
Death came by to see me yesterday

Here I am awake again before the light
Feeling very different but nothing has changed
The silence of a sleeping world pours over me
As I listen to the sound of a bird that doen't sing
For 20 nights a whippoorwill has sung for me
Calling to the echoes in my heart
Stopped my sleep from stealing all my precious time
Tonight the air is full of the song she doesn’t sing
I hope that she has found what she was looking for
I know her dreams were wrapped up in her song
I wish that she could sing me of her happiness
Tonight my mind is full of the song she doesn’t sing for me

Old man Pitcher lost the farm and they chopped down all the trees
Building house in a row just as pretty as you please
I hear they built a slaughter house
Where the church house used to be
It won't too awful long ago the nations lived out here
My people fenced the land and they all disappeared
Now they're exiles in the promised land
Outlaws on a trail of tears
Last night the Coyotes came and sang my goodbye song
I got out in the moonlight and tried to sing along
We left our marks on the mayors car
In the morning we were gone
The politicians and the bankers are calling all the shots
With greedy eyes and twisted minds they want what they ain't got
They come 'round here with papers
Tryin' to steal the things that can't be bought
The mornin' sun on the mountain snow
Can make you lose your eyes
The glitter of a rich man's gold can make you lose your mind
All the things I thought I'd have forever, I have to leave behind

Easy if you Know How

It ain;t no secret, and it ain't no thing
if you want the girl, you best be buying a ring
'cause she wants a rock, and you want a roll
but if you wanna groove, you gonna need some soul
It ain't no secret, its easy if you know how
My momma told me , that when things go wrong
it ain't no use, standing round cryin', you got to be strong
and sometimes you give, sometimes you take
sometimes you bend, just try not to break
It ain't no secret, its easy if you know how
now you can stay, or you can go
try to make up your mind, and let me now
and tell me the truth, and don't ya say no lie
'cause we ain't got time for now long goodbyes
It ain't no secret, its easy if you know how
