Work It Out
04:33

|
Walking from sun to sun
Tired as the day is done
Feeling like I've lost my way
Feelings won't go away
Slipping on broken glass
Stepping on a jaded past
Feeling like an afterthought
Feelings of what I'm not
Carry me down to the station
Where I meet that old boat home
Living on a dollar and an aching head
Singing myself straight into bed
You gotta work to work it out
You gotta work to work it out
You gotta listen to hear what's going down
You gotta work to work it out
Working on faded dreams
Moving on little steam
Feeling like I'm wasting time
Feelings don't cost a dime
Carry me down to the river
Where I meet that old boat home
Looking for a place just to rest my weary head
Singing myself straight into bed
You gotta work to work it out
You gotta work to work it out
You gotta listen to hear what's going down
You gotta work to work it out
Holding to the chances lost
Standing on the hope it cost
Feeling like a yesterday
Feelings won't go away

Stone

Roll away your stone and see
Hide no more in thistle and weed
(The) Purest heart is wrapped in mud
(Our) Saving grace is flesh and blood
We are all covered in sin
It stretches o'er what lies within
When the truth itself breaks free
(You) Must know pain to feel relief
Well I don't believe I've had enough
And I don't intend to give this up
When all your joy has seemed to end
Then you throw your stone into the wind
Throw your stone into the wind
We stood here and we stood tall
(I) Took your hand when you would fall
(But) When the dark begins to set
(You) Must know love to feel regret
Well I don't believe I've had enough
And I don't intend to give this up
When all your joy has seemed to end
Then you throw your stone into the wind
Throw your stone into the wind
Roll away your stone and see
Hide no more in thistle and weed
When the storm breaks through the pain
(You) Must know life to feel the rain
Well I don't believe I've had enough
And I don't intend to give this up
When all your joy has seemed to end
Then you throw your stone into the wind
Throw your stone into the wind

To your brother's house
In the city dear
On your way
You will see the girls
Looking pretty there
On your way
And as you walk by will you give them a smile
Or will you be thinking of me all the while
Down on Second Street
In the garden there
Jonathan James
With your green eyes
And your long hair
Jonathan James
We can tell all the secrets of
Two anxious lovers full of anxious love
I might wanna love you
I might wanna know you
I might wanna need you
Jonathan James
To your sister's house
By the river dear
On your way
Down a summer's night
As the morning nears
On your way
And will you tell her all about
The love that you don't wanna live without
Down on Ruby Street
By the cypress tree
Jonathan James
Will you meet me there
At the strike of three
Jonathan James
We can tell all the secrets of
Two anxious lovers full of anxious love
I might wanna love you
I might wanna know you
I might wanna need you
Jonathan James
To my father's house
In the valley dear
On your way
Will you ask him for
My hand there
Jonathan James

You Will

So long the doubt
That rides your soul
That sends you coursing through the night and all alone
So long the fear
That takes your mind
That robs you clean and leaves you shuffled up and blind
You don't know
If this is love or war
Cause you have never been in love or war before
But when you're close
Let go the pain
Wake up and see the worth of all you have to gain
Let it sail down the river
Let it tumble down the hill
And you'll be free
Though you may not see
Someday my dear I know that you will
You're not alone
Just because you're stuck
It's just that you're a little out of touch and out of luck
But when it's time to free
All the wrong within
Question not what you have seen but where you've been
And when you've found your peace of mind
There's so many stars at night
And so much love there in your eyes
And so much joy by and by and by and by
if you just let it sail down the river
Let it tumble down the hill
Then you'll be free
Though you may not see
Someday my dear I know that you will

Highway 44

The wind's picking up on highway 44
Smell the air and the salt from the shore
My eyes are tired and the tank is on empty
But there's gas and a beer at that bait shop for me
There's a couple in the corner and old man Jack's on the tap
Virginia's talking up a storm with a baby on her lap
I'm just sipping my beer with nothing much to say
While outside the waves are washing my blues away
It's a long way down when you're feeling this low
But this place ain't so bad when there's nowhere else to go
I've got money in my pocket and some time to kill
But I'm hanging 'round here still
Losing our minds walking down a Tuesday night
Pink fades to blue and we're slowly losing light
Tripping down the rocks on the eastern seawall
Dying for life and trying not to fall
Barefoot and wasted in my usual clothes
Searching for answers the night only knows
The men on the docks put a hard day's work away
And I've got nothing left to say
It's a long way down when you're feeling this low
But this place ain't so bad when there's nowhere else to go
I've got money in my pocket and some time to kill
But I'm hanging 'round here still
