Tennessee
You brought me up
You brought me up
You brought me up
Can it be
She brought me down
She brought me down
She brought me down
I’m a child of history
And I see
And I see
1875
Was the year
We really tried
She wanted to settle down
I’m a fool
I stayed around
Then the McAllisters came in
They took our land
They took our land
Mrs. McAllister
She said,
“Here’s my bed
Here’s my bed
Here’s my bed”
Mr. McAllister has sent
Fifteen men
His very best
We can reach the Missouri line
If we take
The 155
Mrs. McAllister’s with me
Can’t you see
Can’t you see
Can’t you see

The Depression
03:55

The Depression
It ruined us
It ruined us
It ruined us
The Depression
It ruined us
It ruined us
It ruined us
Oh Marilyn
Everything
When the market crashed
Our hopes were dashed
We lost everything
Everything
When the winter came
We lost everything
Couldn’t afford to stay
Oh Marilyn
We’d really like to keep you in
Oh Marilyn
We’d really like to keep you in
Memories
Disparate memories
Of New York
In the 1930s
Memories
Of the frozen lake
And the way we tried
To keep her safe
Oh Marilyn
There was no one left at home to let you in
Oh Marilyn
There was no one left at home to let you in

Apologies
04:35
|

How did we
End up here
In the heart of
Beverly Hills
Apologies
Apologies
I meant to call
You right back
On the phone
I never did
I was trying
I was trying
There was a witness
There was a witness
Up at the top
Of the stairs
There’s a wake
The party’s all there
I hear laughing
I hear laughing
Colors flow
From below
That’s the show
The one we chose
We were denied
We were denied
There was a witness
There was a witness

Lorelei

I don't want to fight your war tonight
Put away all your guns and knives
I am waiting
Lorelei
I don't want to see the streets tonight
I am so weary and so tired
I am waiting
Lorelei
Violence holds
The scene below
People act out their paces
Go through their places
Burn all the traces
We alone
Carry forth
We are two so despite what you do
Despite what you see
Don't give up
We're gonna be free
Lorelei
Lorelei
Lorelei
Lorelei

One Last Look
03:20
|
|||
One last look
Before the coal
Rustling brook
In Farmington
One last look
Before I run
One last dream
Before the soot
Drifts through the seam
Trembles underfoot
One last dream
Before the dirt
One last kiss
Before the hill
Bursts through the mist
Little Dunkard Mill
One last kiss
I love you still

In My Hour
03:15
|

Come to me
In my hour of need
There will be
Redemption and peace
Come to me
Come to me
Come to me
In the storm
There was lightning again
Never thought
That the earth would be the same
New Year’s Eve
Is a dream
Eternally recurring
Come to me
Come to me
Come to me
Come to me
Outside it’s cold
In the stifling heat
And it’s warm
Inside where the icicles meet
They say that we need
All the rain we can get
They say our survival
Could end in this desert
And when the rain finally
Falls from the sky
The palm trees collapse
Cause the land is so dry
Water deep
Floods the streets
And the houses all slide
The houses divide
Come to me
In my hour of need

Battle Of Saratoga
04:52
|
|||
Three o’clock in the morning
Snowing and I can’t go home
Coming down in Kingston
Christmas Eve the roads are closed
Just like Walter Gibson
Knowing what the Shadow knows
And on their way
From Saratoga
They burned our fields
They burned our homes
Candy shop quartet
Free coffee and chocolate
Dreaming of the pine needles
Waiting for my next set
Hallucinating wonders
Drying out like Benedict
And on their way
From Saratoga
They burned our fields
They burned our homes
They burned our homes
They burned our homes
Commander of the troops
I tried to capture Bemis Heights
Talking in tongues
They couldn’t get to me on time
Forced to retreat
I turned and ran to safety in the pines
And on their way
From Saratoga
They burned our fields
They burned our homes

Starry Night
04:59
|
|||
The pain she felt when she came home
And found he wasn’t all alone
The pain it was too much for one to bear
She cried out and yelled at him,
“How could you have let her in
My love’s only for you and you don’t care”
He took off after the fight
And drove into the starry night
There was nowhere else that he could go
What he did wasn't fair
But he could never go back there
To show a weakness he could not control
Stars shine so bright
Moon glows alight
After the snow
Stars shining down
What do they say
What do they know
She woke up on the couch
Stretched her arms and thought about
She knew soon he would be coming back
He woke up inside his car
He didn’t drive it very far
He remembered what she’d said to him
Stars shine so bright
Moon glows alight
After the snow
Stars shining down
What do they say
What do they know
She started to want him home
She wiped her tears
Turned on her phone
She counted all the messages
Stars shine so bright
Moon glows alight
After the snow
Stars shining down
What do they say
What do they know

For You
02:58
|

Now I work all day and all night
For you
For you
And I have a part in everything
For you
For you
For you
For you
For you
For you
For you
For you
All my thoughts and all my chains
For you
For you
And the moon and the stars sunrise
For you
For you
For you
For you
For you
For you
For you
For you
Now I work all day and all night
For you
For you

Station 2
05:13
|

Long ago
There was a place
We would go
To celebrate
This was when we were kids
Down the hill
Across the bridge
Into the sand
Beneath the ridge
Just below PCH
Stumbling all the way
Stumbling all the way
We pulled our sheets
And stuffed our beds
With dirty clothes
And helmet heads
We snuck out the window
After we
Got to the beach
We were out
Of their reach
We dug holes to keep warm
We burned the Times
We burned the Times
After all
Those were the times
I’d give
Anything to go back
And stare into her eyes
Years went by
I grew up
My heart was ready
My head was stuck
I ran away as far as I could
There was a girl I left behind
I’ll never forget
Caroline
Cast aside
I never told her why
I watched her cry
I watched her cry
When I finally moved back
I drove to that street
Up at the top
Where we used to meet
I looked out from the edge of the cliff
I thought of the ways I could pretend
Thought the days
Would never end
Now they’re gone
And I’m standing here
Looking down
Looking down
After all
Those were the times
I’d give
Anything to go back
And stare into her eyes
