Goodnight Texas
I'll see you in the morning from my sleeper car
Goodnight Texas
Let your heat settle into the dark
It's a long way to the ocean
But a clear night can see the stars
Goodnight Texas
Hold me as the rails move into you
Goodnight Texas
My love is lying next to me... hold her, too
It's a long way through the desert
Through the flatlands and the hills
But the night sky brings comfort in what it reveals
Goodnight Texas
We'll be leaving you in the afternoon
Goodnight Texas
But for now you are seen by the August moon
There are crows lined up on the telephone wire
And it's a long road going into Arizona
So I will lay me down, let the engine take me further
Oh Goodnight Texas

Was it the Whiskey?
03:24

Was that a question in your voice
Or just a cracking in your laughter
Was it the cold that froze your clothes to your bones
Or was that just the morning after
Was it the howling of the dogs in the night
Or the way the years are moving faster
And was it love that put your heart on hold
Or some other kind of natural disaster
Was there a bad moon in the sky
Was it something in the water
Did the things you wanted pass you by
Was your pretty face forgotten
Was it the reeling down the street in the night
Or the hazy feeling in the morning
Was it love that put your heart on hold
Without even the shadow of a warning
Was it the whiskey, was it the gin
Or was it one of those other ten things that went in
Was it too much schooling or not enough
And was it cruel intentions
Or gambler's luck
Is there something I can do
Is there something I can say
Is there something I can break in half
To take your pain away
Is there fire in you still
Or is it all burned out today
Was it love that put your heart on hold
Was it love that stole your heart away
Was it the whiskey, was it the gin
Or was it one of those other ten things that went in
Was it too much schooling or not enough
And was it cruel intentions
Or gambler's luck
Was it MTV or CNN or NBC or all of them combined
Was it just the passing of time

There was a time I thought that you were holy
Just because you lived in Montreal
I thought that things were different there
Based on no experience at all
I was honestly impressed when you first told me
You always change your lovers in the fall
I guess I never thought that would apply to me, that's all
Ca-ca-ca-cavalier
Is there anything you want from me?
(Is there anything?)
Is there anything you really need
Ca-ca-ca-cavalier
There was a a time I thought I had to have you
At any cost or consequence you named
I would have swum across the whole Atlantic
Just to drink with you in Spain
I would've stole the dark out of my shadow
And smeared it all across the western plains
If I thought it would've made a difference
Would've cracked your windowpane
Ca-ca-ca-cavalier
Is there anything you want from me?
(Is there anything?)
Is there anything you really need
Ca-ca-ca-cavalier
There was a time I thought you were the answer
To the problems I have found along the way
I thought that you were different from the others
I thought I'd let you stay
Now I've been running wild looking for something
But what it is exactly I can't say
If I knew I surely would've told you
Instead of pushing you away
Ca-ca-ca-cavalier
Is there anything you want from me?
(Is there anything?)
Is there anything you really need
Ca-ca-ca-cavalier

Blood Red Oranges
04:01

Ash in the soil of the world so full of things
The blood red oranges hanging from the trees
I can feel it coming, coming through the tall grass
Slipping under stones, in between the reeds
Love land gently on my shoulder
Pick me up, but put me down
Destinations make you older
Always finding, never found
But oh, I don't know
Where it comes from, where it goes
White magnolias blooming in all the front yards
Spring dusk falling in the fading sun
I can feel it coming, coming underneath my feet
Hanging in the air like heat when the day is done
Love land gently like a prayer
Lift me up in the sun
Remind me that we never get there
Remind me that we're never done
And oh, I don't know
Where it comes from, where it goes
Can't you see I want you?
Could I be more obvious?
Where it comes from
Where it goes...

The Sea Around Us

Step out onto the sandbar
See the waves all around you
See these things shine, blue and green,
In these night-time waters of this Atlantic Ocean
And come see the sea around us
Come see the sea around us
Fill your bathing cap with saltwater
Tip it over your hair
Hold my hand and run out into the waves
Pretend like nobody's there
On the beach see the sand
You say to me it's purple with manganese, black with iron
See these lines here
See these lines here
Year after year and year after year
And come see the sea around us
Come see the sea around us
Hold your mouth wide open
And eat up the land all about you
See the swallows with their nests in the cliffs
And spiders riding the dune grasses
And I'm going to float on my back out here
For the rest of the whole damn day
And I'm going to tip my head back here
And swallow this whole landscape
And come see the sea around us
Come see the sea around us
