so stay up, don't wait
don't leave, stay late
stay up, please stay
my love please stay
my love please stay
my darling doesn't seem to love this song
my darling doesn't seem to love too long
my darling doesn't know to plant her feet
she's loved by those she meets
these chains can't hold and love can't bind
these chains can't hold what isn't mine
these hands can't hold what must be free
i love her in my sleep
but god knows what she needs
(chorus)
so don't run now, don't change
don't leave now, stay late
stay up child, please stay
pleas stay my love
please stay
so take me away by a wind swept song
and take my heart though i can't sing none
take me away with some well placed notes
the thimbled ones we've known
so stay up, don't wait
don't leave, stay late
so stay up, don't stray my love
don't stray
so don't run now, don't change
don't thin out, don't fray
stay up child, please stay
pleas stay my love
please stay
so don't run now, don't rage
don't tihn out, don't fray
stay up child, please stay
please stay my love
please stay my love
please stay
please stay

More Than Life

and i've seen all 5 horizons
and the darkest of darks past the black
and the ending was fast but i swore to you i'd come back
so i broke the grave as it held me
my ears still hearing the crash
but no rocks or steel could not stop me from this path
so call off the dust now i'm here to
watch you through the night, and if you're
scared i'll reel back from your sight
and i would climb through death to see you, i would
commit any sin, i would
walk through all 7 hells to touch your skin
i came back for you
i love you more than life
and i found you there you were sleeping
vailed in night on the bed
and all the room seemed in pieces about your head
and i watched the rhythm of your breathing
your teeth, still crooked and agape
and the way the sheets fell upon your sleeping shape
but as i watched you babe a glint cut through the night
and off a window i caught wind of my sight
and all the scars and hideous blood
the thing i saw my face
screamed out
you woke up and stared a terrified gaze
as i said
i love you more than life
as as i fled our yard
the place our children played
my feet like clumsy stones stumbled
and bled but felt no pain
and as i reached the sea
and leaned into its ear
i couldn't feel its icy teeth
i only saw your fear and mine like yours as i said
i love you more than life

St Viateur Lovesong

we met downstairs, you took my hand
signed my skin, i called you m'am
your hair was wild, like stalks of rice
we talked a bit, you sung that night
and though I, cannot say
where we'd go, how we'd change
how we'd be, how we'd pair
i will try, because my heart doesn't care, it's already there
oh, and now love don't you see
oh, all the stars shaped like guitars
oh, and all our memories we could share
oh, just you and me awhile
so let's try, to climb that wall
so let's let, our barriers fall
so let's sing, each our songs
sing each note, wild and wrong
and though i cannot say
who you are and who you play
i know i, must dare to find
find your heart, if you'll have this wreck of mine
oh, and now love can't you see?
oh, all the stars shaped like guitars
oh, and all the memories we could been
oh, so come on stay here awhile
oh, and love can't you stay?
oh, and love where have you gone?
oh

With Devils On Her Back
05:05

she lived outside the city
on a farm just north of town
she'd tell you all these stories about
nothing for miles around
she'd drag you off to dance halls
dig you out of your dirt
but you never got to tell her
what she was worth
and you wonder where she's gone to
about what clothes she's packed
but it's not like she's some angel
like anyone there's things that she lacked
she's just someone you're missing
with devils on her back
and last time that you saw her
nothing seemed ahold
and it didn't really hit you
until she turned to go
and as she took her distance
in much too short a time
something in that moment
stayed behind
(chorus)
and somewhere off in memphis
elivs didn't weep
and somewhere off in washington
cobain kept his sleep
and somewhere off in georgia
no one sung the blues
tom waits still shit drunk that afternoon
and you'd talk about your parents
and her folks just like yours
and sing on into sunset
bout those worlds past those doors
and she would write some lyrics
and you write some lies
she'd talk about her shadows
but shadows were the last thing on your mind
(chorus)

Black Snow Song

shes knows how to dance a nice tango
but a knife she is nonetheless
i said my prayers when i saw her
and god bless
i knew my hands were filthy
my conscience bent like
an old bent rake
i took her hand and i drank her dram
and i knew it was a big bad mistake
into the jaws of her mouth
into the teeth of her heart
into the trap of this moment in to
the cold black night of her dark
so sing to me darling now and
i will take you on whole
i'll be the one to
point my gun
directly at my soul
we'll be whole
you and me, falling like
black, black snow
and i knew my heart had gone jittery
her love just slipping around
for every boy was a brand new toy
in her town
but you don't know what is hopeless
you don't know how it's worse
being alone when being alone
with your lovers body pressed to yours
