Grandfather watches the grandfather clock
And the phone hasn’t rang for so long And the time flies by like a vulture in the sky Suddenly he breaks into song I’m waiting by the phone Waiting for you to call me up and tell me I’m not alone I'm waiting by the phone Waiting for you to call me up and tell me I’m not alone Hello, speak up, is there somebody there? These hang-ups are getting me down In a world frozen over with over-exposure Let’s talk it over, let’s go out and paint the town I’m waiting by the phone Waiting for you to call me up and tell me I’m not alone Cause I want somebody to shove I need somebody to shove I want somebody to shove me You’re a dream for insomniacs, prize in the Cracker Jacks All the difference in the world is just a call away And I’m waiting by the phone Waiting for you to call me up and tell me I’m not alone Yes I’m waiting by the phone I’m waiting for you to call me up and tell me I’m not alone Cause I want somebody to shove I need somebody to shove I want somebody to shove me Yes I want somebody to shove I need somebody to shove I want somebody to shove me |

When the sun goes down here
And darkness falls The blanket of winter Leaves no light at all You search for shelter To calm the storm Shaking with an instinct Just to stay warm Chorus: But I'd walk through the snow barefoot If you'd open up your door I'd walk through the snow barefoot You hear the howling Of dogs and wind Stirring up the secrets That are frozen within The ice will haunt you It lays so deep Locking up inside you The dreams that you keep Chorus This wind ... through my soul ... blows cold Chorus |

The Mississippi delta
Was shining like a national guitar I am following the river, down the highway Through the cradle of the Civil War I'm going to Graceland, Graceland In Memphis, Tennessee I'm going to Graceland Poorboys and pilgrims with families And we are going to Graceland My traveling companion is nine years old He is the child of my first marriage But I've reason to believe We both will be received In Graceland She comes back to tell me she's gone As if I didn't know that As if I didn't know my own bed As if I'd never noticed The way she brushed her hair from her forehead And she said losing love Is like a window in your heart Everybody sees you're blown apart Everybody sees the wind blow I'm going to Graceland Memphis, Tennessee I'm going to Graceland Poorboys and Pilgrims with families And we are going to Graceland And my traveling companions Are ghosts and empty sockets I'm looking at ghosts and empties But I've reason to believe We all will be received In Graceland There is a girl in New York City Who calls herself the human trampoline And sometimes when I'm falling, flying Or tumbling in turmoil I say Whoa, so this is what she means She means we're bouncing into Graceland And I see losing love Is like a window in your heart Everybody sees you're blown apart Everybody sees the wind blow In Graceland, in Graceland I'm going to Graceland For reasons I cannot explain There's some part of me wants to see Graceland And I may be obliged to defend Every love, every ending Or maybe there's no obligations now Maybe I've a reason to believe We all will be received In Graceland Whoa-oh-oh-oh, in Graceland, in Graceland,in Graceland I'm going to Graceland |

I can't light
no more of your darkness All my pictures seem to fade to black and white I'm growing tired and time stands still before me Frozen here on the ladder of my life too late to save myself from falling I took a chance and changed your way of life But you misread my meaning when I met you Closed the door and left me blinded by the light Don't let the sun go down on me Although I search myself it's always someone else I see I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free But losing everything is like the sun going down on me I can't find Oh the right romantic line But see me once and see the way feel Don't discard me Just because you think I mean you harm But these cuts I have oh they need love to help them heal don't let the sun go down on me Although I search myself it's always someone else I see I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free But losing everything is like the sun going down on me Don't let the sun go down on me Although I search myself it's always someone else I see I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free but losing everything is like the sun going down on me |

Once I thought I saw you in a crowded hazy bar, Dancing on the light from star to star. Far across the moonbeam I know that's who you are, I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire. You are like a hurricane There's calm in your eye. And I'm gettin' blown away To somewhere safer where the feeling stays. I want to love you but I'm getting blown away. I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream, You could have been anyone to me. Before that moment you touched my lips That perfect feeling when time just slips Away between us on our foggy trip. You are like a hurricane There's calm in your eye. And I'm gettin' blown away To somewhere safer where the feeling stays. I want to love you but I'm getting blown away. You are just a dreamer, and I am just a dream. You could have been anyone to me. Before that moment you touched my lips That perfect feeling when time just slips Away between us on our foggy trip. You are like a hurricane There's calm in your eye. And I'm gettin' blown away To somewhere safer where the feeling stays. I want to love you but I'm getting blown away. |

I think I know now what's making me sad
It's a yearnin' for my own back yard I realize maybe I was wrong to leave Better swallow up my silly country pride Going home, running home Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Going home, and I'm running home down to Gasoline Alley where I was born When the weather's better and the rails unfreeze and the wind don't whistle 'round my knees I'll put on my weddin' suit and catch the evening train I'll be home before the milk's upon the door Going home, running home down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Going home, and I'm running home down to Gasoline Alley where I was born But if anything should happen and my plans go wrong Should I stray to the house on the hill Let it be known that my intentions were good I'd be singing in my alley if I could And if I'm called away and it's my turn to go Should the blood run cold in my veins Just one favor I'll be asking of you Don't bury me here, it's too cold Take me back, carry me back Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Take me back, won't you carry me home Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Take me back, carry me back Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Take me back, carry me back Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from Take me back, carry me back Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from |

Try to see it my way, Do I have to keep on talking till I can't go on? While you see it your way, Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone. We can work it out, We can work it out. Think of what you're saying. You can get it wrong and still you think that it's alright. Think of what I'm saying, We can work it out and get it straight, or say good night. We can work it out, We can work it out. Life is very short, and there's no time For fussing and fighting, my friend. I have always thought that it's a crime, So I will ask you once again. Try to see it my way, Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong. While you see it your way There's a chance that we may fall apart before too long. We can work it out, We can work it out. Life is very short, and there's no time For fussing and fighting, my friend. I have always thought that it's a crime, So I will ask you once again.

One day you're going to have to face
A deep dark truthful mirror And it's going to tell you things that I still love you too much to say The sky was just a purple bruise, the ground was iron And you fell all around the town until you looked the same Chorus: The same eyes, the same lips, the same lie from your tongue trips Deep dark, deep dark truthful mirror Deep dark, deep dark truthful mirror Now the flagstone streets where the newspaper shouts ring to the boots of roustabouts But you're never in any doubt, there's something happening somewhere You chase down the road till your fingers bleed On a fiberglass tumbleweed You can blow around the town, but it all shuts down the same Chorus So you bay for the boy in the tiger-skin trunks They set him up, set him up on the stool He falls down, falls down like a drunk And you drink till you drool And it's his story you'll flatter You'll stretch him out like a saint But the canvas that he splattered will be the picture that you never paint Chorus A stripping puppet on a liquid stick gets into it pretty thick A butterfly drinks a turtle's tears, but how do you know he really needs it? 'Cos a butterfly feeds on a dead monkey's hand, Jesus wept he felt abandoned You're spellbound baby there's no doubting that Did you ever see a stare like a Persian cat? Chorus |

I'm gonna love you, like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine High as a mountain, deep as a river Come rain or come shine I guess when you met me It was just one of those things But don't you ever bet me 'Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me You're gonna love me, like nobody's loved me Come rain or come shine We'll be happy together, unhappy together Now won't that be just fine The days may be cloudy or sunny We're in or out of the money But I'm with you always I'm with you rain or shine |

Why... Why...
How many times do I have to try to tell you, That I'm sorry for the things I've done?! Uhhh... But when I start to try to tell you, That's when you have to tell me: Hey...this kind of trouble's only just begun. I tell myself too many times, Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut. That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words, That keep on falling from your mouth. Falling from your mouth. Falling from your mouth. Tell me... Why... Why... I may be mad; I may be blind; I may be viciously unkind; But I can still read what you're thinking. And I've heard it said too many times, That you'd be better off... Besides... Why can't you see this boat is sinking (This boat is sinking this boat is sinking) Let's go down to the water's edge, And we can cast away those doubts. Some things are better left unsaid, But they still turn me inside out. Turning inside out... Turning inside out... Tell me... Why Tell me... Why This is the book I've never read; These are the words I've never said; This is the path I'll never tread; These are the dreams I'll dream instead; This is the joy that's seldom spread; These are the tears... The tears we shed This is the fear; This is the dread These are the contents of my head And these are the years that we have spent And this is what they represent And this is how I feel Do you know how I feel? 'Cause I don't think you know how I feel I don't think you know what I feel I don't think you know what I fear You don't know what I fear |

Don't talk, I will listen. Don't talk, you keep your distance for I'd
rather hear some truth tonight than entertain your lies, so take you poison silently. Let me be. Let me close my eyes. Don't talk, I'll beleive it. Don't talk, listen to me instead, I know that if you think of it, both long enough and hard the drink you drown your troubles in is the trouble you're in now. Talk talk talk about it, if you talk as if you care but when your talk is over tilt that bottle in the air, tossing back more than your share. Don't talk, I can guess it. Don't talk, well now your restless and you need somewhere to put the blame for how you feel inside. You'll look for a close and easy mark and you'll see me as fair game. Talk talk talk about it, talk as if you care but when your talk is over tilt that bottle in the air tossing back more than your share. You talk talk talk about it, you talk as if you care. I'm marking every word and can tell this time for sure, your talk is the finest I have heard. So don't talk, I was sleeping. Don't talk, let me go on dreaming. How your eyes they glow so feircely I can tell your inspired by the name you chose for me. Now what was it? O, never mind it. We will talk talk talk about this when your head is clear. I'll discuss this in the morning, but until then you may talk but I won't hear. |

This could be the saddest dusk
I've ever seen. Turn to a miracle High alive. My mind is racing As it always will My hand is tired my heart aches I'm half a world away here My head sworn to go it alone And hold it along, haul it along And hold it. Go it alone Hold it along and hold, hold. This lonely deep sit hollow I'm half a world Half the world away My shoes are gone, my life spent I had too much to drink. I didn't think And I didn't think of you I guess that's all I needed To go it alone and hold it along Haul it along and hold it Blackbirds backwards forwards and fall and hold hold. Oh this lonely world is wasted Pathetic eyes high alive Blind to the tide that turns the sea This storm it came up strong It s the trees And blew away our fear I couldn't even hear To go it alone and hold it along Haul it along and hold it To go it alone and hold it along Haul it along To go it alone and hold it along Haul it along and hold it Blackbirds backwards forwards and fall and hold, hold. And this could be the saddest dusk I've ever seen Turn to a miracle High alive. My mind is racing As it always will My hands tired my heart aches I'm half a world away and go |
