Troubled Spirits
04:13

Can’t sleep at night
Restless through the day
Those troubled memories
Just won’t go away
Troubled spirits
What has been done
Will always be
So do what you have to
Or we’ll never be free
Troubled spirits
You can’t walk around it
And you can’t back away
The damn thing just cuts you
Day after day
I can feel that trouble
All over town
And there ain’t no peace of mind
‘Till you lay those spirits down
Troubled spirits
The things that you do
Will never die
And they don’t disappear
Under all of your lies
Troubled spirits
When all is said and done
It ain’t up to me
So do the right thing
Please please please

Beautiful Forever
02:48
|
|||
|
You’re beautiful forever, beautiful forever,
And nothing will change
Eternally youthful
Forever young
Fixed in a heartbeat
And it’s all done
Things come and go
Love ebbs and flows
But in this garden
You're always my rose
Broken dreams, Dirty hands.
Broken lives, All built on sand.
(And I’m) All adrift in, No Man’s Land
With those Midnight drums, that call my heart
Away...
Your windswept hair
Sunlight fair
The bow of your lips
The curve of hip
The instep’s arch
Your eyes so dark
Day after day
Unchanging you

Tumbling hot on the night sheets
Never gonna sleep in this bed
Breaking glass on the pavement
Broken glass in the head
Light up a car just for badness
Jerk to the rhythm of fun
Take a pull from the jug of the Honeyman
Roll it around on the tongue
Staggering round like a drunkard
Testing the waters of chance
Anytime is the right time
To try for one more romance
Reeling star-eyed and witless
Wondering if I'm all unstrung
Take a pull from the jug of the Honeyman
Roll it around on the tongue
I’m searching for something
(But I’m) Not even sure where I stand
Maybe I could think about it
If I remember what it was that I planned
Dance to the rattle of snare drums
Roll with the punch when it comes
Take a pull from the jug of the Honeyman
Roll it around on the tongue

I Closed My Heart
03:55
|
|||
|
And though I felt
Your pain inside
I could not help
I could not pry
And even though
My hands were tied
I could not help
And I stepped aside
And even when
I saw you fall
I closed my eyes
Turned to the wall
And as I heard
You cry
I could not help
I did not try
I could not laugh
I could not cry
I could not live
And I could not die
I closed my heart
And I walked away
I closed my heart
And I walked away
I closed my heart
And I walked away
And I cursed myself
And I cursed the day
For I could not help
And I did not try
And I cursed my shame
And I cursed my pride

Is This What You Do?
04:21

Is this what you do when your dreams are dead?
Is this what you do when your dreams are dead?
Is this what you do when your dreams are dead and gone?
Drink a little drink
And take a little smoke
Drink a little drink
And take another toke
Drink a little drink
Till you’re drinking on the floor
Drink another little drink
And drink a little more
Take a little hit
And take a little sleep
Taking little hits
Helps you sleeping deep
Take a little hit
Till you’re crawling on the floor
Take another little hit
And you’ll see me no more...

I didn’t want to leave you
But I just had to go
Things have changed between us
As well you know
And then all those planned intentions
Never got their chance to fly
Hey everybody Say goodbye
When I first saw you
I thought you were divine
I still think fondly of you
But you’re no longer mine
I could say I still love you
But that would be a lie
Hey everybody Say goodbye
The stars stroll round the heavens
Fish swim in the sea
They all have to move
Just like me
As with the seasons
That make change upon the land
I can’t deny
The lines upon my hand
Never understanding
Constantly surprised
Hey everybody Say goodbye

Whatever’s happened
Whatever has gone down
Whatever it is
That makes you frown
And all those times we stumble
Those little ways we fray
Just let it all go
At the setting of the day
At the setting of the day
At the setting of the day
Let all your cares and troubles slip away
At the setting of the day
Just grab a breathing space to pray/play
It’s just a moment
At the setting of the day
It don’t mean nothing
It’s just quiet words at night
Something to hold to
As you’re slipping from the light
Tomorrow is tomorrow
It knows the way
Just let it all go
At the setting of the day

Dream On
03:33
|
|||
|
There’s a restlessness about you
And a hunger deep inside
It’s been this way forever
And never does subside
You’re missing all the pieces
There’s parts you cannot play
An absence of the sunshine
Each and every day...
‘cos all your life you’ve been waiting
For another who will never ring
She don’t know who or where you are
Or even what to bring
But this hunger for that other
Whose face you never see
Is just that hunger’s dreaming
Keeping you asleep...
Dream on, dream on,
The time just slips away
Dream on, dream on,
And waste another day
The peace, you seek,
Is just a breath away,
So open your eyes,
And see the sun rise
And set your own... heart free
Don’t you know there are others
Who are feeling just like you
Others who can be the one
To help your heart feel true
So take a look around you
And right there you will find
Hearts as hungry as your own
...others of your kind...

I ain’t got long
So I won’t waste time
I’ll come to the point
Straight down the line
We only got the moment
Of any old hour
Of any old day
That’s just the way
Time is moving
It won’t come back
What’s gone is forever
What’s gone is past
Tomorrow ain’t happened
May never will
But that’s ok
That’s just the way
No time to lose
Nowhere to stay
Don’t miss your window
Just make your play
Head full of dreams
Ankles of clay
That’s just the way of it
That’s just the way
Whatever you’re hearing
Hear it right
Whatever you're seeing
See it bright
Get lost in the moment
Swim in the sea
Whatever you say
Well that’s ok

Vale of Tears
04:21

In this vale of tears
Did we met before, or is this déjà vu?
Were we happy?, did we part too soon?
Maybe that...
In this vale of tears
I guess I’ll see you somewhere down the line
Maybe then, we could really shine
Like gold...
Can I get absolution?
Can I get a reprieve?
Can anyone tell me,
Just what I need?
Can I get some redemption?
Do I get to concede?
Just give me a sign that can help me believe
In this vale of tears...
In this vale of tears
Sometimes we find ourselves in a quiet place
With the sun upon our face
Where we can rest a while...
In this vale of tears
I've never known you to be so kind
We will be lovers in another time
Until then...
Did I get some redemption?
Did I get a reprieve?
Did anyone tell me,
What was agreed?
Did I get absolution?
Did I get to concede?
Just give me a sign that can help me believe
In this vale of tears...
