Lyrics:
a high cave
On the northern slopes of the coast range
So I climbed up
Oh, so I climbed up
But I didn't know how to climb down
So I wandered through
don't pray for it to rain,
don't look to the sky
hold me with your lonesome eyes
you slipped into my room
in a simple disguise
take me with your
And some big ol' guy just walked on by with a devil tattoo and an earring in his nose
Well I tried to introduce myself but no one took the time to say hello
of the Bann
Was the skipper of the Irish Rover
For a sailor its' always a bother in life
It's so lonesome by night and by day
That he longs for the shore
Why can't a pretty day
Take my lonesome blues away?
Missing him is what I've come to do
Here in the afternoon, singing melancholy tunes
Loving him
with
Strictly reality, so rejoice
Beeper buzzin', semper fi cousins
When in hot ovens, et cetera, et cetera
Wind chimes gone dummy
Delirium,
So blinded by my goals
Ten feet out of twelve foot holes
My life was found on shameful ground not filled with love
Now the pieces fall to dust
dead stopped in dirty Tucson heat
We crane our necks to get a glimpse, and ride on by while I nurse defeat
Nurse defeat
It's that same old sinking
I've been hurt by love so many times,
so I know just what you're goin' through.
You wish that you were never born, you gotta forget him now that he's
kind of lonesome, been on her own some |SheÕs been living by herself for a while; |IÕve come to save her, do her a favour, |And make her funeral my
Chorus
And I heard somebody say
You gotta walk that lonesome valley
On your own just to prove your worth
And before all that be inspired
Some medieval
I used to wonder what they meant
By walking the floor
Now there's grooves under my boots
And I don't wonder anymore
All those simple country
Caroline my baby
Caroline my sweet
If I married caroline
So happy I would be
I wouldn't need no whiskey
I wouldn't need no wine
Wouldn't need
It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It don't matter, anyhow
An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don't know by now
When
I feel so bad, I gotta worried mind
I'm so lonesome all the time
Since I left my baby behind on blue bayou
Savin' nickels, savin' dimes
Workin' till
I used to hear that lonesome whistle
But it never made me cry
I'd place my pennies on the track when it rolled by
A pocket full of memories
be lying to say either
The sun's seemed brighter every day
What I remember
Is empty bottles in the afternoon
And long Decembers
Self medicating by
Naked Eye
The Mirages Of Twilight
You´re Passing By
A Silhouette Pristine
Privy Caves
Dalles, A Lurking Peril
Downstream The Waves
The Shining
what's in front of me
I'm so far out of reach
Broke me piece by piece
Told me that you would never leave
Why did I believe?
'Cause you gave me up
Guess I'll never know
I thought it was impossible
I used to have it all
Down this lonesome road
Ain't no home for my heart to go
I used to have
And I'm tryin' to accept it
And I try so hard to be loved by you
And I don't know what to do
Twenty-five years old and wishing I were thirty
Just
stare
Who's him with the half grey hair
Tuned in like guitar strings
Where did he find his bars
Since when did he sound so dark? Flow rare
Can't pick
what's in front of me
I'm so far out of reach
Broke me piece by piece
Told me that you would never leave
Why did I believe? (oh oh oh)
'Cause you
for a job
But I get no offers
Just a come-on from the whores
On Seventh Avenue
I do declare
There were times when I was so lonesome
I took some
