She came down here from Alberta She said she’d never seen the Sun shine this way But we’d never noticed Cause here’s where we was born and raised And we ain’t travelled far What she loved was the thrill We’d saddle Tony and Jasper and Bill And we’d run em’ full speed Through the branches, jump the ditches and the creeks Till the summer did end How she moved through our friends They said they’d never seen someone shine that way then And since her eyes they were weak And seemed to water the sides of her cheeks We stood fast by her side When the checks never cleared And the times she would just disappear And the phone never rang And it’d make you think back, Lord, towards everything Oh, and then there she’d be From Lord only knows where, there she’d be At the bus station sign And you’d just leave all those questions behind Now, from Fayette down to Richmond There’s a river that runs in between And that’s where I told her Told her I was fed up with everything She had nothing to say Lord, I’d never seen so quiet a day Now, from Fayette down to Richmond There’s a river that runs in between And that’s where I told her Told her I was fed up with everything

However these days will find us Hopefully in the arms of one another And I know you have your doubts and your questions So let me say one thing before you go I’m all yours There’s just so much in you to love And by the way, I see you sometimes And wonder if you’re real Oh, but you know that So I listen to the rain steady falling Hope you’re keeping yourself dry and I’ll see you in the morning And I see you, and I know what you’re thinking Cause I’m watching you pretend like you don’t know I’m all yours There’s just so much in you to love And by the way, I see you sometimes And wonder if you’re real Oh, but you know that

Calm 03:18
I have forsaken you It's not as though I wanted to It simply seemed I had to, I know You say you'll always stay Your strength is simply just too much I watch while you're waking up What do you hide that keeps you bound to us, you say That love's the only way Calm as you are, I'd hate see you I don't know where you come from Some World where no one's done you wrong, it seems What's easy to you, baby, I couldn't give to you Even if I tried An angel with your will defined Thinking over things and taking time Let us speak not of the things we might, you say That love's the only way Calm as you are, I'd hate see you I don't know where you come from Some World where no one's done you wrong, it seems What's easy to you, baby, I couldn't give to you Even if I tried Calm as you are, I'd hate to see you fall

Take From Me 03:35
You came here to take from me To take advantage of my loyalty You’ve got your mind made up and I’m just standing here in your way But, I don’t wanna give you no more hope I’d hate myself if I just stood here and broke I’ve got my mind made up and I’m just standing here anyway You’re thinking I could show my cards Let you take it further than you’ve already gone You’re gonna stop. I’ve never felt so tired as I do now From standing so strong while I’m breaking down All I’ve got left here is my heart But not may control That blue dress always made you squirm I’m gonna show you inside out, you’ll turn When you see me standing there Looking at you from across the room But now instead of doting on you I’ll be sending you your final cue Take notice of me, baby, I’m standing right in front of you You’re thinking I could show my cards Let you take it further than you’ve already gone You’re gonna stop. I’ve never felt so tired as I do now From standing so strong while I’m breaking down All I’ve got left here is my heart But not may control

When did I start holding on? Must have been, only then. Did you find a way to blend in, my old friend? Chasing memories back to shore Floating out to find some more Thinking only of our time Keep in more than I let by And that’s the way you were Silent, dreaming How could I’ve known you were to choose And there I’d be With a picture of you holding me For now you sit among Amongst the thorns. And leave me torn. Torn from what you need of me. Guess I don’t care. Guess I don’t care. When you found me I was free When you found me I believed Thinking only of our time Keep in more than I let by And that’s the way you were Silent, dreaming How could I’ve known you were to choose And there I’d be With a picture of you holding me Won’t you give in to the sun And let your back be warm, this once? For you? For me?

No matter where you are today I think you’ll end up feeling something, that’ll bring you back my way At least just for a little while Till you’re scared, and confused and you’re off again And there’s nothing left to do but wait But where do you go, and what are you doing When you’re out there somewhere? Over time, I get so tired, I do You’re the one who never knows what they want I think I should just go back home Ah, baby, I’m sorry too Blue and green through the hills back home And gray was the morning I told you I’d been making up my mind to go But since we’re still here for the day Let’s make it so we don’t remember anything And I’ll be on my way But where do you go, and what are you doing When you’re out there somewhere? Over time, I get so tired, I do You’re the one who never knows what they want I think I should just go back home Ah, baby, I’m sorry too I miss the way you were back then When you still had things you were dreaming of
7.
Well, I’ve said a lot of things What I’ve done don’t add up to much And I’ve stayed inside, just hoping you don’t know why Just hoping you don’t know why And your eyes are on my face And I know I don’t deserve a thing But you give it anyway, and I just take it and don’t say a thing When I don’t know where I’m going And time won’t wait on you But I always will Yeah, I always will I recall I said I’d change But I don’t recall what for And New York is taking too long, can’t remember what I was counting on Can’t remember what I was counting on And time won’t wait on you But I always will Yeah, I always will I’ve been honest and I’ve been afraid For I know what you came here to say So let’s just say goodbye, and maybe I can mean it this time And maybe I can mean it this time

Two Drinks 04:39
Two drinks that sit between us, your eyes are wild and burning bright New beneath the shadows, the spring is gold and makes you smile And in that I see something, like a sunset and I can’t come down Oh, but I don’t think I’d want to The sound of laughing children against the City spinning around Walking past me on the sidewalk, a daydream, I think it’s for you And the streets are filled with nothing but cars and the beat of my heart The one I’m trying to give you And there’ll be a time when we won’t care And we won’t make it back from there But for now that ain’t something we should think about And we won’t hurry we can take our time Watch the World go by and by and stay here for now Lights are dancing out from everywhere and coming up from under the door Walk a mile beneath the highway with you, the same as before I for one am hoping, that we don’t have to make it there But it won’t make a difference, either way again And there’ll be a time when we won’t care And we won’t make it back from there But for now that ain’t something we should think about And we won’t hurry we can take our time Watch the World go by and by and stay here for now I wake up to the sound of the rain And then we disappear again And there’ll be a time when we won’t care And we won’t make it back from there But for now that ain’t something we should think about And we won’t hurry we can take our time Watch the World go by and by and stay here for now

Tennessee 02:48
Move with me to Tennessee, my baby Let's leave this old town and move along Well, I could teach you how to fish or ride a horse and then we'll kiss In the early morning fog of Tennessee Move with me to Tennessee, my darling Manhattan's just a big ol' billboard sign I can show you all the things, that a place like that can bring If you'd follow me to Tennessee Let's leave it all behind, there's love enough to find In Tennessee A place to call our own, it ain't too far from home In Tennessee Lazy days by the creek so slowly rising And a southern summer wind just blowing through From the mountains looking down, you can see out there for miles All the blue and green in Tennessee Let's leave it all behind, there's love enough to find In Tennessee A place to call our own, it ain't too far from home In Tennessee Move with me to Tennessee, my baby Let's leave this old town and move along I can show you all the things, that a place like this can bring If you'd follow me to Tennessee Move with me to Tennessee!
10.
You said you wouldn’t lie to me Now I’m standing alone I hear your whispers, and I hear your sighs They’re so sweet, but I know That every time you held me, baby I was simply just your fool So I won’t be here when you wake up in the morning I was standing by your bedside In my fingers was a rose But, in my mind was the price I’ve paid You can’t take back what you stole I take the long way just to make you wait To see if you miss me when I’m gone I let my love die slow Yeah, I let my love go Now every time you hold me, baby I just wonder what you’ll do When you wake up in the morning And our love is through
