sorrow no more my child i'll look after all your cares in the world and higher rest in me your restless dreams will be quiet and still longing fulfilled and your cold fear turned to fire sorrow no more

i always leave part of my heart in Chicago with ribbons to hold the pieces in bows and even when i am there it beats beside me trying to find me knowing i dare to leave it behind me when the next wind blows will it always be this way? i'm torn the more each time i stray but it don't feel right to stay will it always be this way? cover the miles, pierce the night level the road, enjoy the ride cover the miles in clouds and trees mountains and birds that hang on the breeze cover the miles with all of your signs hope comes to life as this road unwinds cover the miles, become someone else's horizon

Amelia 03:12
mama's favorite dress of mine had birds all over i wore it every Sunday 'til i got older and i reached away for something there that i could taste in the air put it all in a little black box hide it on the floor of the sea only leave behind you the waves and speed i was gone for 30 days and 20 hours before i saw the water close and tried to call the towers and i opened up my window then and gave my letters to the wind put it all in a little black box hide it on the floor of the sea only leave behind you the waves and speed i wasn't quite sure where i was going i knew that i'd know when i was there and i wouldn't let anybody keep it away from me again

Chocolate 03:47
you are sticky sweet like chocolate never miss a beat like the sun you're always melting in my hands again and I can never have just one i'm gonna stir you up in all my recipes gonna let you taint every one because I know you'd taste just like chocolate and i'd be all the sweeter when i'm done i love the taste of you melting on my tongue i want the worst of you more than the best of anyone it's like confection when your lips are touching mine i could go through boxes of you at a time (oh won't you tell me that you are gonna be mine)
5.
Go! Go! Go! 03:43
something told me long ago to go go go, so i went something said to give it everything i have, so i'm spent walking the edge of a precipice i never thought i'd find i could stay right here or i could step right off every day i make up my mind fool, i'm a fool there ain't nothing i would rather do

L.A. Lullaby 03:41
we've been waiting to see the moon we've been waiting to see the stars venus and mars are beautiful when the day is done and night falls down twilight is yours when the day is done and the night falls down the sky is mine

he never stopped looking for people whose hearts had caught fire one day we decided to set out and see if we could find him all that was left were his bones under the tree where he had given the ghost 18 dollars in silver coins and holy oil he heard the wind cry traveling over the mesas counting clouds in the big sky and slowly unraveling graces in the vast lonely country of old he covered the West and he watched it unfold he spent many nights tending a burning heart hungry and cold Pierre Latour rode off slow and sure to find heaven in the lower Rio Grande ONLY BY HEAVEN'S HAND when he came to town the people were waiting for miles they brought him their children and told him the tales of their trials he lifted their heads and watered their souls he told them in prayer that they would never be alone and for that he rode from town to town and home to home Pierre Latour rode off slow and sure to find heaven in the lower Rio Grande ONLY BY HEAVEN'S HAND

Broken Gold 03:30
reaching with your eyes over the next state line the mountains give way to the prairies over time the air is thick with rain forward through the night singing songs of Texas longing i'll be there before sunrise sculpted peaks of the mountains and the clouds just passing through fast as a freight train loaded down when you trace the lines of our life the beginning and the end they always collide like broken gold you're broken open again, again, again and the more you know what the road has taken the more you're left with in the end four square inches in the daily news there are just some things that we never get to choose help me to forget help me to remember our bodies always perish but our spirits, they will live forever so I dream what you mean to me
9.
go and turn it all around if you can turn the whole thing upside down but when the gig is up and you can't come down just shake it down, shake it out of this world go on beat around the bush if you dare 'cause honey what's the rush? there are games that you can't win unless you shake it down, shake it out of this world you made your mark trying to go around and wake the dead but you got your wishes wrong and they came after you instead so take it all apart this time go ahead every angle knows its lines when it flowers up and won't come down just shake it down, shake it out of this world
10.
Little Star 04:30
little star you're gonna shine bright and far and when life is very dark you'll be shining little star little bird you'll fly high above the world and string up the stars like they're pearls little bird little dream your eyes show me everything that i could ever hope to be little dream little one when every day is done i will promise you all my love and the moon and the sun little one
11.
Sing Out 03:16
every breath with promise heard bares itself on every word when the clock is ticking loud you will hear a deafening crowd sing out cry out every pistol in the air shouting of joy and despair winding through the narrow ways of true love and heaven's grace sing out cry out though our words will melt away there is strength in what we say gather all to hear the truth rattling inside of you sing out cry out
