Sorrow No More

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

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)

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

Pierre Latour
04:50
|

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

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

Little Star

|

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

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
