I used to have friends in the night time
used to go out in the morning
I used to be cool in the evening
used to be man of the season
it’s been going on way too long
these troubles are way too long
it’s been going on way too long
I used to be king of the river
I’d swim in the light from the bridge
used to be the summer’s would last
long enough to forget the past
it’s been going on way too long
these troubles are way too long
it’s been going on way too long
you used to lead me down the road
used to know where to go
you used to have things to say
you used to be the biggest fan of me
it’s been going on way too long
these troubles are way too long
it’s been going on way too long
I used to wake up to your breathing
I used to go out there and see things
I used to be part of a scene thing
used to have meaningful feeling

Don't Go Back

don’t go back my love
be as strong enough
for both of us
don’t go back my love
we’ve been offered too much
just the sun is coming up
over the grass
I dreamed you died
with your sisters
in a car crash
there’s a wheel that turns for us
don’t go back my love
don’t go back my love
be as strong enough
for both of us
don’t go back my love

Nothing Turned Out
03:08
|
|

there’s nothing to it
but I’m ‘round in circles
and I’ve been through it
but it’s hitting me all the time
I’m gonna try to make it out man
but I don’t know why
nothing turned out
this time, look man
it could have been something
but nothing turned out
this time around
what’s a holy spirit
with nobody near it?
what’s a good line
in these bad times?
go on and put your head down
no need to stick around
yeah nothing turned out
this time, look man
it could have been something
but nothing turned out
this time around
I know you think it’s going
but it’s really slowing down
and I know you think you’re flying
look baby, you’re just lying around
nothing turned out
this time, look babe
I could have been someone
but nothing turned out
this time around

Ghosts Of Summer
02:55
|
|
||
|
the ghosts of summer
are coming to get you back
mama, didn’t I tell you that
it always seems
he has an ace up his sleeve
I think he’s dumb
and he don’t get much sleep
it’s raining as she reads
it’s dark out when he leaves
and in the lake sari’s making up a face
some buddy takes her plate
another time I’ll be forced to cross the line
I know the shit I find
I’m in a steel black car
writing in the dark
but then I took you by the hand
took you by the heart
and every night I would it through
and every night we’d get back together
every night I would see it through
and we’d walk hand in hand
downtown to the river
and every night I would it through
every night I’d be there too
every night I would see her through
we’d all get back together

there’s always the crowd, annick
don’t act surprised, annick
there’s nothing too
if you don’t want to
another sunset, annick
another turning spring, annick
or summer walk around
or drive around this town
I hope it is true, annie
I’m walking with your friends, annick
I’m leaving now
if you want me to
another sunset, annick
another turning spring, annick
or summer walk around
or drive around instead
there’s always goodbye, annick
don’t act surprised, annick
there’s nothing too
if you don’t want to

Live Without It
03:06
|
|
||
|
take me outside into the sun
low and behold little one
you used to sing about it
now you just look around for it
give me another cap then go softly
take me out on the town darling
you used to be happy about it
now you can’t live without it
give me that sunday sorrow
no need to wait for tomorrow
your friends who live in the city
evening ride down through the lights
in the beautiful buildings
in the cars and country bars
you used to have a decent answer
now you just walk down river
so walk down river

Leaning In The Sun
03:48
|
|
||
|
no matter what you do or what you’d say
they’re gonna go ahead with it anyway
but you can turn around, baby
you can turn around
if you don’t like where it’s going to
you can turn around
I’m gonna miss you
like a light that’s gone
some bright light over the sea
because you’re always good
the grace of you
that I’m so far away from
leaning in the sun
I got this bad idea
I got this good old feeling
staring out across someone new
got this sucker walk
some long way off
and it’s no big deal it’s nothing new at all
when it’s time to go
nowhere, you know
when it’s time to get rollin’ along
well the last night
when you said it right
and smiled at me having so much fun
leaning in the sun

This Old Game
04:44
|
|
||
|
summer lights the houses
on the way back up through the mountains
here it is without it
it’s a path and you don’t want to slip
I can hear the swallows
as they dip towards the water turning back
hey love if this exists
you’d be happy
I’d be pissed
flying on the water
til the sun goes down
in the middle of the day
here it is without it
it’s a game that you don’t want to win
I can hear the thunder
see the lanterns, by the fire getting high
little heart leaning in the sun
where you go you came from
isn’t it a summer
isn’t it a way through the awful days
if you didn’t know it
if you were lost in the dark waves
think I had the one
but it might already be done
I can’t say
this old game, this old game
still runnnin’ from a hurricane
this old game, this old game
has it always been this way
this old game, this old game
still runnin’ from a hurricane

Winnebago Dave

before you go and say that
lay down for a while
I get lost out in the wild
winnebago dave’s gonna set me up
with a place to play
drinking in the back yard
georgie’s been cooking all day
you know I never loved you anyway
I just needed a place to stay
I’ll get better
better than you can hardly say
and you’ll get lost out in a crowd
looking for me
winnebago dave’s gonna set me up
with a place to play
drinking in the backyard
georgie’s been cooking all day
you know I never loved you anyway
I just needed a place to stay

Body Switch
04:56

|

|
I shouldn’t a’come, I should have stayed
back then where I’m from
I don’t belong, tears rollin’ song
but keep tappin’ and hummin’ along
back home, in the summer
evening setting on the hands of hunter
the only thing they got on me baby
is that wheel to leave
and the sun comes up
then it falls back down underground
while you’re sleepin’ through the morning
I’m still out on the big ol’ town
and giving up on the mountains
and giving up on the sea
the only thing you got on me baby
is that wheel to leave
