Fill me up fill me up I'm a long way from home
And I don't have a lot to say Fill me up fill me up Cause you're all that I've got And I traveled a long, long way Cheer me up cheer me up Cause I'm all alone And I'm taking it day by day Cheer me up cheer me up Cause you're all that I've got And I traveled a long, long way I'm a bellhop now on a busy day And I'm starting at sunrise And the color of dawn from this plane that I'm on Is the day breaking in your eyes I'm a still life now on a tabletop I'm a case study in french blue And it's clear to me now that the whole of my life I've been making my way to you And I know where you live And I know who you are Don't get too close And don't go too far And I might be alright If I just see the light I don't care if the phone don't ring And I'll know when it's right like a voice in the night And the right shade of tangerine And I know where you live And I know who you are Don't get too close And don't go too far Don't get too close And promise me that you'll never go too far Fill me up fill me up I'm a long way from home And I don't have a lot to say Fill me up fill me up Cause you're all that I've got And I traveled a long long way Cheer me up cheer me up Cause I'm all alone And I'm takin it day by day Fill me up fill me up Cause you're all that I've got And I traveled a long long way. |

I'm gonna die in these four walls
I had enough and I tried it all I watch the daybreak and I see the night fall In these four walls Show me trouble, I'll take him down I drew a line on this patch of ground And everything's safe and everything's sound In these four walls In these four walls I bought a rooftop I can remember orders I had to break Now I can see I had this life to make, to make And I'm gonna miss your southern drawl A baby's footsteps in an empty hall And every little thing I can ever recall In these four walls In these four walls Up on a rooftop, feel like you're flying Thinking your heart could break How could you say we have this love to make, to make Oh, I'm gonna die in these four walls I had enough and I tried it all I watched the daybreak and I see the night fall In these four walls In these four walls In these four walls |

I was a tuff kid
Yeah I was a tuff kid It took a lot to get me on my knees I had a hard time Yeah I had a hard time Just ask somebody if you don't believe me. My mama had me But she didn't get me I guess I broke her at the age of five My daddy hit me But he couldn't quit me We showed each other how to feel alive Say hey everybody at the old schoolyard Took it all the way and we took it hard Did the kind of things make you feel alright Said the kind of things keep you up at night. It was a small town And it didn't fit me There wasn't anything that I could do So I found a guitar And I took it with me Just like every single kid I knew. We say hey everybody at the old schoolyard Took it all the way and we took it hard Did the kind of things make you feel alright Said the kind of things keep you up at night |

I put on my finest summer dress,
So light and thin, it was my best. I brushed my hair, I held my breath. I went out to face the wilderness. I went out to face the wilderness. The men in hats. The boys on bikes. The perfect girls. The baby dikes. The superstars, blighted ones. I went out to face them, one by one. I went out to face them. One by one. I said "Goodbye, Mary-anne!" As you turn to watch me. "Don't cry, Mary-anne. And don't try to stop me." "Cause I'm gonna go where the lights are bright; Where sacred secrets sail like kites. We've been sleepin' girl, all our lives, And we never lived, no, we just survived. And we never lived. We just survived." I'll take my heart. I'll take my key. And find out who could care for me. Are there pots of gold? Are there floods and fires? Are there thieves and beggars, Or Saints and liars? Are there thieves and beggars, Or saints and liars? And so "Goodbye, Mary-anne!" As you turn to watch me. "Don't cry, Mary-anne. And don't try to stop me." I put on my finest summer dress, So light and thin, torn at the chest. I brushed my hair, I held my breath. I went out to face the wilderness. I went out to face the wilderness. Mary-anne. Mary-anne, don't cry. Mary-anne! |

It still hasn't snowed in a lifetime
And I am still frozen in time Where did you come from? How could you leave And why can't you be mine? I'm caught in between a lifeline And a love so deep I will drown Let it pour like silver In this empty room And wear this memory down. So come to me soon and I'll hold you We'll be eye to eye, skin to skin And I'll stroke the fire Of this cruel December Until I see you again. Then I'll lay you down in May I'll have my way with you The water town Is raining down Pools of Venetian Blue Let it pour like silver In this empty room Pools of Venetian Blue |

I might go to the mountain to spy
And I see all the pretty snow And I dream that dream I dream no matter where I go We were still young like when we met And I hadn't fucked it all up yet And you wanted me To be with you like before What I like about time is it don't ask why What I like about love is it makes me cry What I like about the bird is she don't need Nothing but sky And I know you tried to tell me then No one could bear the shit I put on them And I guess you wonder why you even let me in Well, so do I And in my dream I never make you pay For all the things you did and did not say I was ready to be good to you And make you stay And you took me to the carnival town And we rode the rides up and down And we watched the birds watch us smile And then they flew away What I like about time is it don't ask why What I like about love is it makes me cry What I like about the bird is she don't need Nothing but sky And I know you think my life's a crime And you talk about it to your wife sometimes You all shake your heads and sigh, oh, believe me I shake mine |

There are things I will do
For a hatchet job, too Ante up, there's a new kid in town It won't take long For what's red hot and blonde To be ashes on the ground. The Manhattan skyline A bed and a byline I've come and I've cradled your face I won't be the last one To commit crimes of passion With a shoot-out and a chase Over and over and over and over I'm beckoning, begging I keep hanging on Going once, going twice Mercy God, Jesus Christ I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone. Nothing has changed Since the last time I came My pride and my hat in my hand I never sleep well I still kiss and tell And I do not pay the band. Over and over |

You say you get a feeling about it
I'm starting to know what you mean I only have to look at somewhere you've been walking It's like I know every place that you've been You say you thought you'd just live without it Nobody falls in love anymore Well, I say that they do 'cuz I'm in love with you And I know I've never been here before And it's not too late for us We've still got hope and trust We can still hang tough And let it slide And when it's all too much We'll leave it in the dust Climb up on that bus And ride Remember that day when I met you And the first thing we did was to fight Then we played all the songs that we both ever knew And we ended up talking all night So this is me saying 'Baby, don't doubt it' And this is me saying 'Baby, it's time' 'Cuz the heart's gonna see what it wants to believe And my heart's always willing to try And it's not too late for us We've still got hope and trust We can still hang tough And let it slide And when it's all too much We'll leave it in the dust Climb up on that bus And ride |

Beautiful flower in your garden
But the most beautiful by far Is the one growing wild in the garbage dump Even here we are. Song of the bird way up in the sky But the most beautiful by far Is the scream of the man who never learned to fly Even here we are. The sun shines bright it's a beautiful sight But the most beautiful by far Is the blind girl alone the angel of the night Even here we are. Beautiful flower in your garden But the most beautiful by far Is the one growing wild in the garbage dump Even here we are |

Ordinarily I
Have the decency to hold my tongue Then eventually I Wind up opening a vein Rather pointedly you Asked me if I planned to turn and run That's a certainty When I'm this close to the drain But it's so good to see you Intermittently I Have to tell myself we have no past And essentially that Wanting you is just insane There are those who say it's Customary for a man to ask In actuality I Have been known to jump the train But it's so good to see you It's a foregone conclusion It's a languid delusion And it's so good to see you |

Before you knew me
An angel came to me I wrestled him down to the ground He said he could cure me I said That don't worry me now Those angels just bore me The same old damn story They were lost oh but now they been found Ain't nobody lookin' but That don't worry me now I live by the sound Of devils in flight I travel alone In the cold In the dead of The deep dark night So if Jesus is comin' He'd better start runnin' I don't really think he'll be proud And I won't get to heaven but That don't worry me now. I live by the sound Of devils in flight I travel alone I In the cold In the dead of The deep dark night And if flocks of the best Will sing me to my rest I'll never get used to that sound Just give me Sam Cooke singin' That don't worry me now |

Smile an everlasting smile
A smile can bring you near to me Don't ever let me find you gone 'Cuz that would bring a tear to me This world has lost its glory Let's start a brand new story now my love Right now there'll be no other time And I can show you how my love Talk in everlasting words And dedicate them all to me And I will give you all my life I'm here if you should call to me You think that I don't even mean A single word I say It's only words and words are all I have To take your heart away |
