I only want to say
That if there is a way I want my baby back with me 'cause he's my true love my only one don't you see? And on that fateful day Perhaps in the new sun of May My baby walks back into my arms I'll keep him beside me forever from harm You see I was afraid to let my baby stray I kept him too tightly by my side and then one sad day he went away and he died Blue Moon, you saw me standing alone without a dream in my heart without a love of my own Blue Moon, you knew just what I was there for You heard me saying a prayer for someone I really could care for I only want to say That if there is a way I want my baby back with me 'cause he's my true love my only one don't you see? |

Have you ever seen a sight as beautiful
as that of the rain-soaked purple of the white birch in spring? Have you ever felt more fresh or wonderful than on a warm fall night under a Mackerel sky, the smell of grapes on the wind? Well I have known all these things and the joys that they can bring And I'll share them all for a cup of coffee and to wear your ring Have you ever had the pleasure of watching a quiet winter's snow slowly gathering like simple moments adding up? Have you ever satisfied a gut feeling to follow a dry dirt road that's beckoning you to the heart of a shimmering summer's day? Well I have known all these things and the joys that they can bring And I'll share them all for a cup of coffee and to wear your ring And I don't know how I survived those days before I held your hand Well I never thought that I would be the one to admit that the moon and the sun shine so much more brighter when seen through two pairs of eyes than when seen through just one Have you ever seen a sight as beautiful as a face in a crowd of people that lights up just for you? Have you ever felt more fresh or wonderful as when you wake by the side of that boy or girl who has pledged their love to you? Well I have known all these things and the joys that they can bring And now every morning there's a cup of coffee and I wear your ring |

This street holds it's secrets like a cobra holds it's kill
This street minds it's business like a jailer minds his jail That house there is haunted That door's a portal to hell This street holds it's secrets very well That man wears his skin like a dancer wears her veils That man stalks his victims like a cancer stalks a cell That man's soul has left him his heart's as deadly as a rusty nail That man sheds his skin like a veil Lord, you play a hard game, you know we follow every rule Then you take the one thing we thought we'd never lose All I ask is if she's with you please keep her warm and safe And if it's in your power please purge the memory of this place This life holds it's secrets like a sea shell holds the sea, Soft and distant calling like a fading memory This life has it's victories but it's defeats tear so viciously This life holds it's secrets like the sea |

I said "Mama, he's crazy and he scares me
But I want him by my side though he's wild and he's bad and sometimes just plain mad I need him to keep me satisfied" I said "Papa, don't cry cause it's alright And I see you in some of his ways Though he might not give me the life that you wanted I'll love him the rest of my days" Misguided angel hangin' over me Heart like a Gabriel, pure and white as ivory Soul like a Lucifer, black and cold like a piece of lead Misguided angel, love you 'til I'm dead I said "Brother, you speak to me of passion You said never to settle for nothing less Well, it's in the way he walks, it's in the way he talks His smile, his anger and his kisses" I said "Sister, don't you understand? He's all I ever wanted in a man I'm tired of sittin' around the T.V. every night Hoping I'm finding a Mr. Right" Misguided angel hangin' over me Heart like a Gabriel, pure and white as ivory Soul like a Lucifer Black and cold like a piece of lead Misguided angel, love you 'til I'm dead He says "Baby, don't listen to what they say There comes a time when you have to break away" He says "Baby there are things we all cling to all our life It's time to let them go and become my wife" Misguided angel hangin' over me Heart like a Gabriel, pure and white as ivory Soul like a Lucifer Black and cold like a piece of lead Misguided angel, love you 'til I'm dead |

(Michael Timmins)
The money would be pretty good if a quart of milk were still a dollar or even if a quart of milk were still a quart And the hours, well, I don't mind how they creep on by like an old love of mine it's the years that simply disappear that are doing me in Guess I married too young, yeah, nineteen was just too young, but sometimes you meet someone and your guts just burn It's not that I don't love him anymore it's just that when I hear him coming through that front door my heart doesn't race like it did once before But I've got a horse out in the country I get to see him every second Sunday He comes when I call him, yeah, he knows his name One day I'll saddle up and the two of us will ride away This weather I could almost stand if the sun would shine a little brighter or even if the sun would shine at all But lately it just seems to me that this life has lost its mystery and these cold fall mornings seem to bite just a little bit harder And all my friends have settled down become their mothers and their fathers without a sound Except for Cathy, she bought a one-way subway ticket and left us all behind But I've got a horse out in the country I get to see him every second Sunday He comes when I call him, yeah, he knows his name One day I'll saddle up and the two of us will ride away This town wouldn't be so bad if a girl could trust her instincts or even if a girl could trust a boy |

Murder tonight in the trailer park
Mrs. annabelle evans found With her throat cut after dark Her pockets turned inside out Her dresser drawers turned upside down Anna's neighbour, peg, identifies the body Lets out a hollow kind of sound Homicide is tying yellow ribbons Around her silver airstream Red cherries slashing up the night Cutting through that cordoned crime scene There's been a murder In the trailer park tonight Murder tonight in the trailer park Pack your things ann marie, We're heading west We're going to make a fresh start I've been saving pennies, Been looking forward to this day No time for questions are you coming Or are you going to stay? Crosstown at the waterton George evans is sitting tall and tight, Buying drinks for all the regulars Bragging about how them bones Danced for him tonight There's been a murder In the trailer park tonight Murder tonight in the trailer park Faceless man counting crumpled bills, Hotel neon fights the dark Tv set in the corner, they're talking murder On the late-night news He turns down the sound, Waits for the sports, He only wants to know, 'did I win or did I lose' There's been a murder In the trailer park tonight Murder tonight in the trailer park |

Hear the lonesome whippoorwill
His song's too blue to fly The midnight train is a winding low I'm so lonesome I could cry I've never seen a night so long When time keeps crawling by The moon is gone behind the clouds To hide his face and cry Have you ever seen a robin weep When leaves have turned to brown Like me he's lost his will to live I'm so lonesome I could cry The silence of a falling star Lights up a purple haze and as I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome I could cry |

Haven't seen the sun for seven days
November's got her nails dug in deep Haven't seen my son for seven years and the chances are we'll never again meet If truth be told I don't even know his name If truth be told he doesn't even know my name I spend my spare time with my rosary beads although I never learnt to pray but you don't need the light and it's best to pretend that you've seen the errors of your ways The darkness in here is as heavy as a judgement This darkness, heavy as a judgement My dreams are now filled with Gilead trees and other sights that I've never seen They used to be filled with the fears of tomorrow and the horror that it might bring His eyes felt to me as cold as a stone mason's chisel His eyes fell on me, cold like a stone mason's chisel Strange how a mind can always recall what the senses eagerly leave behind I can remember his face, rage, disgust and distaste but to my fear I have grown blind Memories are just dead men making trouble this memory is just a dead man making trouble |

I hope that I find what I'm reaching for
The way that it is in my mind I hope that I won't be that wrong anymore and maybe to have learned this time Someday I'll get over you I'll live to see it all through But I'll always miss Dreaming my dreams with you But I won't let it change me, not if I can I'd rather believe in love and give it away as much as I can To those that I am fondest of Someday I'll get over you I'll live to see it all through But I'll always miss Dreaming my dreams with you Someday I'll get over you I'll miss dreaming with you Someday I'll get over you I'll miss dreaming with you Someday |

Look out, Mama, there's a white boat coming up the river,
with a big red beacon and a flag and a man on the rail I think you'd better call John 'cause it don't look like they're here to deliver the mail And it's less than a mile away I hope they didn't come to stay It's got numbers on the side and a gun, and it's making big waves Daddy's gone, my brother's out hunting in the mountains Big John's been drinking since the river took Emmy Lou So the powers that be left me here to do all the thinking And I just turned twenty-two I was wondering what to do And the closer they got, The more those feelings grew Daddy's rifle in my hand felt reassuring He told me, 'Red means run, Son, numbers add up to nothing' But when that first shot hit the dock, I saw it coming Raised the rifle to my eye Never stopped to wonder why Then I saw black and my face flash in the sky Shelter me from the powder and the finger Cover me with the thought that pulled the trigger Just think of me as one you never figured, to fade away so young with so much left undone Remember me to my love I know I'll miss her |
