I know this dress I'm wearing doesn't hide the secret I have tried concealing
When he left he promised me that he'd be back by the time it was revealing The sun behind a cloud just casts the crawling shadow o'er the fields of clover And the time is running out for me I wish that he would hurry down from Dover He's been gone so long when he left the show was deep upon the ground And I have seen a spring and summer pass and now the leaves are turning brown And any time a tiny face will show itself 'cause waiting's almost over But I won't have a name to give it if he doesn't hurry down from Dover My folks weren't understanding when they found out they sent me from the home place My daddy if folks found out he'd be ashamed to ever show his face My mamma said I was a fool and she did not believe it when I told her That everything would be all right 'cause soon he would be coming down from Dover I loved him more than anything and I could not refuse him when he needed me He was the only one I'd loved and I just can't believe that he was using me He couldn't leave me here like this I know it can't be so it can't be over He wouldn't make me go through this so long, oh he'll be coming down from Dover My body aches the time is here it's lonely in this place where I'm lyin' Out baby has been born but something's wrong it's much too still I hear no cryin' I guess in some strange way she knew she'd never have a father's arms to hold her And dying was her way of telling me he wasn't coming down from Dover |

In my solitude you haunt me
With memories of days gone by In my solitude you taunt me With memories that never die I sit in my chair And filled with despair There's no one could be so sad With gloom everywhere, I sit and I stare I know that I'll soon go mad In my solitude, I'm afraid Dear Lord above Send back my love I sit in my chair And filled with despair There's no one could be so sad With gloom everywhere, I sit and I stare I know that I'll soon go mad In my solitude, I'm afraid Dear Lord above Send me back my love |

Some folks they're always crying
Crying their mean old blues No me, you never even see me frown. Some folks just walk around tryin' Tryin' hard love to loose, But I felt it come the better let it burn I'm the happiest gal in the town Easy come easy go Nothing ever worries me, Care for none, eyes of stone Don't know misery. If my man be trouble, or if he don't I'll get someone to love me anytime you want Easy come easy go Right from my head to my shoes Don't wanna be no skinny vamp or nothing like that Daddy always knows just where his sweet Mama's at I'm overflowin' with those easy come, easy go blues. He swallow me up, when he's lovin' ; hear what I've said Believe me I go out to lick him 'most everyday I'm overflowin' with those easy come, easy go blues. |

Our chemical devotions of the night
Bring endless labyrinths of vines to light Your silent spell won't bring you home tonight You couldn't open up your veins to light All that blossoms, all that blooms Lies fallow in the night Waits for a golden sunlight All that blossoms, all that blooms Lies fallow in the night Waits for a golden sunlight Our chemical devotions of the night Desanguinate limbs veined with valleys of ice Children of stone your crystal cages align Crown of creation bring me into the light All that blossoms, all that blooms Lies fallow in the night Waits for a golden sunlight All that blossoms, all that blooms Lies fallow in the night Waits for a golden sunlight Our chemical devotions of the night Desanguinate limbs veined with valleys of ice Children of stone your crystal cages align Crown of creation bring me into the light All that blossoms, all that blooms lies fallow in the night, Waits for the golden sunlight. All that blossoms, all that blooms lies fallow in the night, Waits for a golden sunlight. |

Our love is gone
You're left alone What can you do When love is outside of you? Ooo, la-la-la-la Ooo, la-la-la-la I did you wrong My heart went out to play And in the game, I lost you What a price to pay I'm crying Ooh, baby, baby Ooh, baby, baby Sorry Let me come home and love you Though it's hard to do Though it's hard to do What can I do? Mistakes I know I've made a few But I'm only human You've made mistakes, too I'm crying Ooh, baby, baby Ooh, baby, baby Ooh, baby, baby, baby, baby, I love you Ooo, baby, baby, baby, baby, I need you Ooo, baby, baby, baby, baby, what can I do Ooo, baby, baby, baby, baby, to make it up to you Baby baby, the hurt keeps getting stronger Can't hold out much longer Baby baby, the hurt keeps getting stronger Can't hold out much longer Stronger, the hurt keeps getting stronger Stronger, can't hold out much longer Stronger, the hurt keeps getting stronger Stronger, I can't hold out much longer Ooh yeah Ooh yeah I'm just about at the end of my rope But I can't stop trying, I can't give up hope 'Cause I feel that one day, I'll hold you near Whisper, "I still love you" Until that day is here Until that day is here I'm crying Ooh, baby, baby Ooh, baby, baby Ooh, baby, baby Ooh, baby, baby |

The sun was red and the fires were roarin'
Stars aligned and our webs were spun I could've sworn I heard my spirit soarin' Guess, I'm always chasin' the sun Hopin' we will soon be one 'Til it turns around to me and I try to run On phosphorous wings the phoenix floated The fires froze and the sea was hushed And when I tried to speak, the sun imploded And the war will rage in my guts Till the devil bites the dust I never saw him losin' a race, but I think he must The great storm raged and the power kept growin' Dragons rose from our land below And even now I wonder where I'm goin' Ever since a long time ago I've tried to let my feelings show I'd like to think I'm insincere, but I'll never know |

The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell "Let my guitar playing friend do my request." Let him sing me back home with a song I used to hear Make my old memories come alive Oh please take me away and turn back the years Sing me back home before I die I remember Sunday morning a choir from off the streets They came in to sing a few old gospel songs And I heard him tell the singers "There's a song my mama sang. Won't you sing it once before I move along?" Won't you sing me back home with a song I used to hear Make my old memories come alive Please take me away and turn back the years Sing me back home before I die Won't you sing me back home before I die |
