I've seen the morning freeze
I've seen the night burn down
I've seen the morning freeze
I've seen the night burn down
I fall to my knees
And I kiss the ground
I live near the border
And it's a crying shame
I live near the border
And it's a crying shame
I got me a passport
But I don't have a name
You sent me a letter
But you didn't lick the stamp
You sent me a letter
But you didn't lick the stamp
You may be a prizefighter
But you'll never be a champ
I'm a fish in the water
I follow anything that shines
I'm a fish in the water
I follow anything that shines
It may not be productive
But it kills the time
I've seen the morning freeze
I've seen the night burn down
I've seen the morning freeze
I've seen the night burn down
I fall to my knees
And I kiss the ground
I fall to my knees
And I kiss the ground - Track Name: Appaloosa

Standing on a corner looking east and west
Trying to remember who loved me the best
I bought a new pair of boots and I burned the rest
He who travels light
Is he who travels fast
Me and that nag we're gonna ride through the canyon
Drink the water that I wash my hands in
Me and that appaloosa with the golden shoe
Where the steeples are tall but the shadows are taller
In another life I might have worn a cross and a collar
Seven milk cows belly up in a field
It takes a lot to stand
And all you got to kneel
Me and that nag we're gonna ride through the canyon
Drink the water that I wash my hands in
Me and that appaloosa with the golden shoe
I've got my grandfather's watch I wind it twice a day
I've got my mother's eyes so I can look both ways
I'd like a little more time I would gladly pay
Don't miss the water till the well runs dry
Don't count the minutes till they all slip by
Me and that nag we're gonna ride through the canyon
Drink the water that I wash my hands in
Me and that appaloosa with the golden shoe - Track Name: Iron Road

Clawing up the grade
As we cut right through this fog
Wheels chew the grit
On a heavy highball hog
Only one way to go
Along the iron road
St. Paul down to Spokane
Westward through the pass
Loaded up with hot shot
We never rode so fast
Only one way to go
Along the iron road
Midnight train blacksnake run
Cutting through Colorado mountains
Midnight train blacksnake run
Cutting through Colorado mountains
Like a phantom in the night
On the steam we fly
Barefoot engine coming
Whistle from their stack
Their cinders light the sky
They're running on our track
Only one way to go
Along the iron road
Slow her down cool the head
Signal's changed and now it’s burning red
Slow her down cool the head
Signal's changed and now it’s burning red
Like a phantom in the night
On the steam we fly
Headlight speeding at us
Air froze in my chest
Rip around the curve
To collide at the crest
Glimmer growing closer
No warning from the wire
My hand on the valve
I await this ball of fire
But they pass right through us
Ghost of 514 on a midnight spin
But they pass right through us
Ghost of 514 on a midnight spin
Like a phantom in the night
On the steam we fly
Never rode that line again
Heard the bad news on the lot
The inbound struck the outbound
Colliding at that spot
Only one way to go
Along the iron road
Only one way to go
Along the iron road - Track Name: Oh My Darling
-
Oh my darling
Tell me where you're coming from so late
Tonight
Tell me what it was that kept you all this time
Oh my darling
You don't have to lie to save my pride
It's all right
You don't have to lie baby it's just fine
Oh my brother
What was it like to watch your sister fall
From the light
And tell me how it is you sleep through the night
Oh my sister
Tell me where you gathered all that will
To let it go
And tell me how hard will I try before I know
Cross my heart and hope to die
It'll be all right
Where's your answer
You've got mine
Oh my father
What's troubling your heart that you pray
Through the dawn
Well I guess the dead are never really gone
Oh my mother
Tell me why you gave your life away
To that glare
A whole world to see and all you did was stare
Cross my heart and hope to die
It'll be all right
Where's your answer
You've got mine
Oh my sweet song
Sing yourself to me I need to rest
This tired mind
Oh my sweet song
Sing yourself to me I need to rest
This heart of mine
And we both know you're the best I'll ever find
Yes we both know you're the best I'll ever find - Track Name: Mr. Crook
-
Well Mr. Crook how do you do
If I had to guess I’d say a bit confused
Another Friday not much is new
Just picking up the glass you busted through
You can place your wagers make your bets
On all the riches that you’ll get
But I’ve got some bad news
Nothing that’s the best we can offer you
Unless you want empty packs of cigarettes
Hospital bills or credit debts
Or a big case of the blues
Nothing that’s the best we can offer you
Call it bad luck or sad but true
Call it irony or getting what you’re due
I’m unemployed my girl’s broke too
Come back around and we’ll probably rob you
Our pockets empty as they get
But you can help yourself to my regrets
’Cause I got quite a few
So sorry that’s the best we can offer you
Unless you want empty packs of cigarettes
Hospital bills and credit debts
Or a big case of the blues
Nothing that’s the best we can offer you
Unless you want empty packs of cigarettes
Hospital bills and credit debts
Or a big case of those blues
Nothing that’s the best that we can offer you
Yeah nothing
A whole lotta nothing
That’s the best that we can offer you - Track Name: Flood Line

My baby girl
Is too scared to cry
She just keeps asking
To run from the sky
The wind's throwing punches
Against the walls of our house
High water rising
Time running out
What did I do
What was my crime
How did I end up
Below the flood line
Who did I wrong
I'll make it right
Don't leave me here
Below the flood line
Maybe we should have gone
But it's too late now
The road's washed away
And the bridge is out
Everything I own
Is lost to the mud
Only thing I've got left
Is the red in my blood
What did I do
What was my crime
How did I end up
Below the flood line
Who did I wrong
I'll make it right
Don't leave me here
Below the flood line
Don't leave me here
Below the flood line
Don't leave me here - Track Name: Fine and Fair
-
Fine and fair
An unheard prayer
Sweetest smile
For empty miles
Broken trail
Windblown wail
One red light
Endless night
And I could never tell what happened in those woods
An evening that I try not to recall
I’d put it out of my mind if I only could
The flash the flames the silence and the fall
Fine and fair
Born to share
Soft and shy
Caught a hungry eye
Swallows dive
Half moon rise
Shadows spill
Down the hill
And I could never tell what happened in those woods
An evening that I try not to recall
I’d put it out of my mind if I only could
The flash the flames the silence and the fall
Cold and sharp
Cut the dark
Sulfur sting
Hiss and sing
Embers climb
Red on pine
Bone-cold breeze
Through witness trees
And I could never tell what happened in those woods
An evening that I try not to recall
I’d put it out of my mind if I only could
The flash the flames the silence and the fall
And I could never tell what happened in those woods
An evening that I try not to recall
I’d put it out of my mind if I only could
The flash the flames the silence and the fall - Track Name: Phantom Limb

You wrote a song I'll never hear
’bout a forest black with fear
Only sound a whisper on the wind
Of wolves gathering
You told a story tears on your face
How the wolves kept you safe
Did they lead you through the gray
When you slipped away
You waited for me to hear your cry
I waited for you to look to the sky
You waited for me to set things right
But limbs fall from trees in the stormiest night
Limbs fall from trees in the stormiest night
I listened to your song again
’bout choosing between love and a friend
What was the choice made in the end
Who did you intend
You bet on me you laid it on the line
I bet on you with a growing pine
Branches bend under the vine
Did you fold in time
You waited for me to hear your cry
I waited for you to look to the sky
You waited for me to set things right
But limbs fall from trees in the stormiest night
Limbs fall from trees in the stormiest night
Now I know I waited too long
To hear the words in your song
You sang that you'd soon be gone
But music carries on
I wrote a song you'll never hear
Out of the forest into the clear
Can you hear my words on the wind
May they take you home - Track Name: Widow Paris
-
I light a long black candle
Flick the mojo handle
Cut the sodden night away
I cast this fire
With one desire
To raise up the dead
My gris-gris way
Bone, blood and clay
Come back from the grave
Hold me again
We were married just a year
When he disappeared
Lost in the swamps of St. James
With a braid of hair
And his fingernail
I call out his name
My gris-gris way
Bone, blood and clay
Come back from the grave
Hold me again
Follow the road to San Lois
There's a cemetery
With a crypt for a queen
When you visit me
You must count to three
And draw a cross on my tomb
My gris-gris way
Bone, blood and clay
I'll come back from the grave
And hold you again
Hold you again
Hold you again
Hold you again - Track Name: Tell Me Where You Are
-
A view of the sky in days gone by
It's twilight somewhere and your ship's sliding by
Though our sails never caught the same wind
Here you are again
Tell me where you are
I can't seem to find you
Tell me where you are
I don't have the time to
Tell me where you are
I can't seem to find you
In my heart anymore
When waves were tall and clouded with fear
Did my drowning voice ever reach your ears
I prayed the wind to carry me home
But it cast me here
Tell me where you are
I can't seem to find you
Tell me where you are
I don't have the time to
Tell me where you are
I can't seem to find you
In my heart anymore
Why is there sunlight on your face
Every time I go back to that smoke-shrouded place
I've torn off my seared and withered wings
Help me fly again
Tell me where you are
I can't seem to find you
Tell me where you are
I don't have the time to
Tell me where you are
I can't seem to find you
In my heart anymore
In my heart anymore
In my heart anymore - Track Name: Place to Lay My Head
-
If storms didn’t bring the rain
If storms didn’t bring the rain
If storms didn’t bring the rain
All those sunny days would seem the same
If that water didn’t tumble down
If that water didn’t tumble down
If that water didn’t tumble down
There’d be nothing for those roots to drink deep underground
If lightning didn’t split the sky
If lightning didn’t split the sky
If lightning didn’t split the sky
There’d be no reason for that thunder to cry
If the river didn’t leave its bed
If the river didn’t leave its bed
If the river didn’t leave its bed
The banks wouldn’t seem so sweet a place for me to lay my head
If my pockets were lined with gold
If my pockets were lined with gold
If my pockets were lined with gold
Those silver-lined thunderheads wouldn’t be such a treasure to behold - Track Name: All Night Long
-
All night long
All night long
All night long
All night long
I count the stars
In that black sky
One for my love
Two for goodbye
One lane road
Leaving town
One lane road
Leaving town
Too dark to see
Don't hear a sound
I walk it slow
I walk it down
Take my coat
It's warm and dry
Take my coat
It's warm and dry
Wrap it ’round
Your shoulder bare
I keep with me
A lock of your hair
Follow that river
Ocean bound
Follow that river
Ocean bound
I sail away
From solid ground
I'll soon be lost
I'll soon be found
All night long
All night long
All night long
All night long
I count the stars
In that black sky
One for my love
Two for goodbye
One for my love
Two for goodbye
