Diggin' through the boneyard, looking for a cure For those hot July summer nights That make me toss and turn 'Cause when you're not here I'm always thinkin' of you When I'm all alone there's only one thing... to do I'm gonna fly my kite all night You know, I'm gonna feel all right Watching the clouds roll by Gazing at the moon and how she shine I sat out on the front porch with the radio playing soft I prayed for rain but it never came Only distant thunder coughed Now I'm all alone And it's too hot to sleep I'm thinkin' about you Are you thinking... about me? I'm gonna fly my kite all night You know, I'm gonna feel all right Watching the clouds roll by Gazing at the moon and how she shine I walked down to lakeshore and cast a stone into the waves I thanked the Lord for the summertime but I prayed for cooler days Now the sun's almost up And I haven't got any sleep Been too busy thinking about you To be counting... Any sheep I'm gonna fly my kite all night You know, I'm gonna feel all right Watching the clouds roll by Gazing at the moon and how she shine

Hello To You 05:01
lyrics
buy track
The sky is falling or so I'm told, my gut says to run and hide There's a darkness pounding at my door so I've locked myself inside The shadows hanging over me make it so hard to see The light that's shining next to me, I can hardly believe That every day we say goodnight In my arms I hold you tight And I think "I can't wait for tomorrow, I can't wait for tomorrow, I can't wait for tomorrow..." I may never say how much I love you, but it's always in the back of my mind The birds outside are now singing to me, and I know it was you all the time Goodbye gray skies, and hello to you You bring in the blue

Promised Land 05:03
lyrics

Numb the pain, free my mind Bring me visions of horror and the divine Take me away Take my hand Take me deep into the promised land... Wash my eye, heal the blind Cure my sickness and wake up mankind Take me away Take my hand Take me deep into the promised land... And forgive me for my sins For it was you who made me a sinner in the first place Like Adam and Eve I took the bait Realized I was naked just like everybody else is Shame on me... Shame on you... Shame on us... Let me feel love, I will love everything Bring me closer to God, closer to understanding Take me away Take my hand Take me deep into the promised land... Take me away... Take me away... Take me away from here!

Ride My Bike 05:55
lyrics

When I ride my bike I stare straight into the sun So I can't see where I'm goin' and I won't see anyone I see a lot of death on the side of the road I see a lot of life in the birds and the trees When I ride My bike The sun is beating down and turning my skin red But the sky is so bright and blue and it's just hangin' o'er my head I see a lot of beautiful women on the street I sure feel a lot of love from the one that's next to me When I ride My bike The breeze is blowing soft and cool but sweat is still pouring down My head is lost in the clouds, my feet never touch the ground My legs are turning fast, moving round and round The dust is flying now, my vision is going brown When I ride My bike The rain begins to fall and wash the dirt from my face Feels like I'm in first place, and it's only a one man race I may never again make it back to my home 'Cause I know the sun and rain will follow me wherever I roam

I Don't Want To Wake Up 04:17
lyrics

I don't want to wake up I'm tired, It's cold, and I'm all outta luck I hear the telephone ringin', I hear the doorbell a-dingin' But forever I'll keep on singin' "I don't want to wake up!" I don't want to wake up, I don't want to wake up I don't want to to move, I've got nothing to lose I don't want to wake up I don't want to get dressed I'm tired, it's cold, and my hair is a mess And I just bought half an ounce, and my bed's as good as the couch So once again I'll announce "I don't want to wake up!" I don't want to wake up, I don't want to wake up I don't want to to move, I've got nothing to lose I don't want to wake up I fear for the comfort of my toes How cold is the floor? The Lord only knows So bring me breakfast in bed.. Hell, come back later bring me dinner instead For nothing more do I dread... Than having to wake up! I don't want to wake up, I don't want to wake up I don't want to to move, I've got nothing to lose I don't want to wake up

Morning Train 04:23
lyrics

Please wear a flower in your hair So I know it's you when I get there If I ever get there at all Bring all the letters that I sent you In the mail And I'll do the same for you My bags are packed, I've got my cigarettes In my coat pocket with some matches and a bottle of booze I'll be on the train the morning and if it's on time then I'll see you in the afternoon But the train I'm getting on will never get there And I know you won't be waiting Because you just don't have the time You'll never get all the gifts I bought you I'll never get a hug And we'll never share a bottle of wine So I'll just keep on riding that train Out west to the ocean And pretend that you're meeting me there You would be so beautiful by the ocean The moonlight in your eyes And the wind blowing in your hair I've been a long way from home And I know I'll never see you there Standing by the ocean with the moonlight in your eyes And the wind blowing in your hair

Ghost House 05:35
lyrics
buy track
[words by Robert Frost] I dwell in a lonely house I know That vanished many a summer ago And left no trace but the cellar walls And a cellar in which the daylight falls And the purple stemmed wild raspberries grow O'er ruined fences the grapevines shield The woods come back to the mowing field The orchard tree have grown one copse Of new wood and old where the woodpecker chops The footpath down to the well is healed I dwell with a strangely aching heart In that vanished abode there far apart On that disused and forgotten road That has no dust bath now for the toad Night comes, the black bats tumble and dart The whipporwill is coming to shout And hush and cluck and flutter about I hear him begin far enough away Full many a time to say his say Before he arrives to say it out

Damnation & Hellfire 03:43
lyrics
buy track
Well I never been to Hell but I can show you the way You turn your eyes to Jesus then you turn them away Then you'll fall and you'll tumble down a firey pit And on a red hot coal is where your gonna sit Your gonna fall... Far from grace If you don't change your evil ways Your an evil hearted man with intentions of deceit You keep goin' where your goin' and your gonna feel some heat Spending eternity in damnation and hellfire When the Devil gets you boy, your bound to perspire Your gonna fall... Far from grace If you don't change your evil ways Your gonna fall... Well I've never been to Hell but I can show you the way... You turn your eyes to Jesus then you turn...Them A-way...

If Tomorrow Ever Comes 06:12
lyrics
buy track
Turn off the lights and go to bed That's what my dear mother said And don't be afraid of the dark little one With tomorrow comes the sun If tomorrow ever comes And what if tomorrow never comes? What of all the things left undone? What will we do, Mother? If tomorrow never comes... What if we never see the sun? Fold up your hands and say a prayer That tomorrow will always be waiting there And if it's not then we'll know it's not our fault If tomorrow never comes... And if we never see the sun Don't worry, my son If tomorrow never comes
