Here it comes, the season's over. Show your teeth and push the blanket down, And run out of that old midwestern home. Leave on the stove, the coffee, the juke box, And walk down the road, down to the lake. I saw you there so many years ago. No, I can't stop wasting time - Could you just get right out of my mind. Been counting the change, and man it don't go as far But it still weighs the same, and kids, they take it and run. My oh my, they haven't seen your heart. No, I can't stop wasting time - Could you just get right out of my mind. No, I can't stop wasting time - Could you just get right out of my mind.

Say It 03:36
I was up all night And you were not around I’m here, but I’m not quite listening Our clothes smelled like smoke You were too drunk to care The ashes in the air were glistening Say it by the sea And I know I could be Say it by the sea And I know I could be anyone You were not quite right The ocean’s got no song You’re moving it along silently Say it by the sea And I know I could be Say it by the sea And I know I could be anyone And on the sidewalk, there is tenderness ‘cause even those without a home have got a hand to hold And on the sidewalk, there is tenderness ‘cause even those without a home have got a hand to hold They will walk on by and we will walk on slow Time is ours to own openly Say it by the sea And I know we could be Say it by the sea And I know we could be Say it by the sea And I know I could be anyone

There’s a river outside my window Here’s hoping it runs straight to you I can hear the rush through the dizzying thrushes And I hope it runs straight to you There’s a light on in the hallway Hope it brings you to me I can hear your footsteps like a ballroom And I hope it brings you to me There’s a shadow on the wall dear Growin’ tall and fast I can see it taking my whole life And reshaping my past There’s a home out there somewhere There’s a home for you and for me Candles burning and music playing softly As we sip our cups of tea There’s a place for you in my heart, dear There’s place you can clearly see But your eyes are closed though everybody knows There’s a place that you can see There’s a pot of gold in the parlor The light’s on by the door Pack your bags and run so fast Before it starts to pour Here’s a river outside my window Here’s hoping it runs straight to you I can hear the rush through the dizzying thrushes And I hope it runs straight to you

Sirens 04:04
In the next lane, empty lines, But the tracks go out to the city. We went running We went running To the tree line, my old mile Where the pounding quiets down We went running We went running And the sirens called out All around this footprint ground As the thunder rolled down I'll find my head someplace to rest I've got a tin can for a telephone And the line runs to the moon Oh now Mary, Won't you call? Turn from the sound of their screaming guns And oh, when you come, you can meet me in Ohio And the sirens called out All around this footprint ground As the thunder rolled down I'll find my head someplace to rest And the sirens called out All around this footprint ground As the thunder rolled down I'll find my head someplace to rest

Well, ring the bell backwards and bury the axe Fall down on your knees in the dirt I'm tied to the mast between water and wind Believe me, you'll never get hurt Our ring's in the pawnshop, the rain's in the hole Down at the Five Points I stand I'll lose everything But I won't let go of your hand Well, Peter denied and Judas betrayed I'll bail with the roll of the drum And the wind will tell the turn from the wheel And the watchman is making his rounds Well, you'll leave me hanging by the skin of my teeth I've only got one leg to stand You can send me to hell But I'll never let go of your hand Swing from a rope on a cross-legged dream Signed with One Eyed Jack's blood From Temple to Union, to LA and Grand Walking back home in the mud Now I must make my best of the only way home Molly deals only in stone I'm lost on the midway, I'm reckless in your eyes Just give me a couple more throws I'll dare you to dine with the cross-legged knight Dare me to jump and I will I'll fall from your grace But I'll never let go of your hand I'll never let go of your hand
