Moon 03:37
Moon, Moon, cast your light away from me Moon, moon, ’til you shine on my release I never was a daughter of the daylight and you never were a lamp I could believe A reflection showing everything I wanted and making ash of everything I see By your light I fell in love with the darkness all but blinded to the pain that love would bring And in that glow love looked like all I ever needed so in the dark I let the devil clip my wings Moon, moon, cast your light away from me Moon, moon, ’til you shine on my release Call off the dogs, you know I’m not some little lamb you got lost We both know how this one ends I’ll go to sleep, and you will fight to keep your place in the light filling holes that you can never mend Moon, moon, cast your light away from me Moon, moon, ’til you shine on my release

Blue Highway 03:31
Send me no letters from your travels no photographs to flatten the sky like the plains you will unravel and the flowers I will dry they will not carry you back home and I will take no substitute no promises from hotel phones carried on waves of hollow truth I could not tame the desert lightning nor bottle up the wild prairie wind You said you’d make your home with me here but the horizon calls again I do not care for distant stars unless they’re shining in your eyes When you return, tell it to me but don’t you waste one minute’s time Some love is jealous, some untrue and both have I been guilty of But all I’ve left to offer you is a blue highway kind of love So keep your boots of Spanish leather I’m not the one you meant them for These storms I won’t ask you to weather I know you’ve weathered them before I will give you to the highway and will not pine for your return if when it comes my time to wander you’ll let my restless fires burn Some love is jealous, some untrue and both have I been guilty of But all I’ve left to offer you is a blue highway kind of love

Jealousy 04:22
Jealousy, oh jealousy break these ties and set me free I’m not who I used to be since you got a hold on me Nowhere to run, oh jealousy I thought that I was born to ramble traveling light and staying gone I’d not put roots in soil or bramble just write it down and move along But the wind blew the pages from my bible and filled my eyes up with their dust ’til I sought shelter from my trials in loving arms, I turned to rust Jealousy, oh jealousy break these ties and set me free I’m not who I used to be since you got a hold on me I loved him for his easy laughter and for the storm behind his eyes but it was more that he was after than any woman could provide I would not cause a good man to suffer so I set him free with my pride but to see him with another was more than my heart could abide Jealousy, oh jealousy break these ties and set me free I’m not who I used to be since you got a hold on me You held the gun, oh jealousy Unquiet minds will not seek harbor in any calm, untroubled bay I brought my tempest to rough waters and drove the one I loved away Jealousy, oh jealousy break these ties and set me free I’m not who I used to be since you got a hold on me What have I done, oh jealousy You held the gun, oh jealousy Nowhere to run, oh jealousy

Cat & Bird 05:00
Come away, little bird Come away from that tree Come and sit by my window Come and sit and talk with me Leave behind your bed of feathers Leave behind your house of leaves Leave behind your mother’s singing Come and sit and sing with me I’ll not harm you, little bird I’ll not go beneath your tree But I’ll not stray from this window ’til you come and sing for me Leave behind your bed of feathers Leave behind your house of leaves Leave behind your mother’s singing Come and sit and sing for me Fly away, little bird Get thee far away from me Don’t you come back ‘round my window Don’t you come ‘round haunting me Leave behind your bed of feathers Leave behind your house of leaves Leave behind your mother’s singing For you’ll never sing for me
5.
Juliet 03:51
I used to be Juliet Mine were perfect hands for holding and I had no word for regret Every day I’d write a song for a lover I’d not met Oh, I used to be Juliet I used to know what flowers were for but they stopped showing up in hands that waited at my door So I planted my own but they’re not blooming anymore Oh, I used to know what flowers were for Now I’m afraid that Juliet is dead I fired a shot I didn’t aim, and it went right to her head And I’ve no idea who’s been sleeping next to you instead But she’s not talking Lord, she’s not talking I think I’m gonna catch me a train There’s nothing here but ghosts, I hear them howling when it rains I washed my eyes out in that water, but it all looks the same Oh, I think I’m gonna catch me a train Don’t look for me tomorrow, I’ll be gone I’ll leave your bed a little colder, but I’m warmer when I run And if she’s rattling your locks at night, just tell her what I’ve done Oh, don’t look for me tomorrow, I’ll be gone

White Lines 03:07
Dry heat lightning in the western sky Thunder rolling under my wheels tonight I headed straight for the storm, knew what I would find Someone take me home, I don’t need this fight Someone take me home, I don’t need this fight Dog laying out in the middle of the road Can’t look him in the eye, I’ll just take him home I know he’s already gone, nothing I can do But that never stopped me, honey, look at you Never stopped me, honey, look at you And I keep coming back around All these miles I put between us, they just weigh me down White lines around my ankles, they chain me to the ground How I long to disappear without a sound Thunder on the mountain and fire in the hills Maybe love is nothing but a battle of wills I don’t blame you, dear, for the things you’ve done But it’s time that one of us learned to cut and run Time that one of us learned to cut and run And I keep coming back around All these miles I put between us, they just weigh me down White lines around my ankles, they chain me to the ground How I long to disappear without a sound

Sirens 05:30
Wild jasmine skin, sweeter than wine That wicked grin gets him every time I know he’s a goner, so please be kind to the heart I did not hold when it was mine to the heart I did not hold when it was mine From across the bar, you’ll cross your legs high and follow his gaze to the skin of your thigh You’ll give him a smile, he’ll lower his eyes Oh, the pieces get harder to sweep up with time Oh, the pieces get harder to sweep up with time Because death is more than enough when all it takes is love to undo a man, and lay down his arms But heaven help you if he comes to harm Oh, heaven help you if he comes to harm And the roses are falling for lovers we lost in the war who walked straight into cannon fire knowing what they were in for And I’m tempted to follow, and throw myself into the light Maybe all we deserve is a warm place to land for the night So I’ll take my part, and I’ll close my eyes Leave you to peace, and go searching for mine You do your worst, and you take your time And I’ll see you in hell with the rest of our kind Oh, I’ll see you in hell with the rest of our kind

Glory, Glory 03:43
I had years to forget about you and to set my demons free But the road was long, dear, and I got lonesome How much freedom does a body need? So I came crawling back over Jordan on my hands and bloody knees How I wish I could say I’m sorry But is that really all you need? "Glory, glory, Hallelujah," I hear you singing in your sleep Darling, I don’t know what you’re praying to but could you send one up for me? Time is wicked, the world uncaring and kindness is the rarest light and on some mornings, I wish you’d let me slither back into the night You never minded my cheap whiskey or the tremor in my hands I wish to hell I could keep from making this bed my promised land "Glory, glory, what a disaster,” I sing softly as I watch you sleep I was lost until you found me but I have secrets I still keep Glory, glory, hallelujah since I laid my vision down I am climbing Jacob’s ladder since I laid my vision down
9.
Unwelcome stranger, you made my body your home Felt your teeth in my bloodstream and your hands on my bones At first I grew stronger, living and breathing for two but your love grew heavy, and clouded my view Now I feel you rising in my lungs I’ll suck the poison out in blackened tongue That power in my veins was not my own I’ll get you out if it kills me At least I’ll die alone Unwelcome stranger, I am no longer your home I won’t be your mirror I’ll take the unknown But I still feel you rising in my lungs I’ll suck the poison out with blackened tongue That power in my veins was not my own I’ll get you out if it kills me At least I’ll die alone
10.
This Town 04:12
This town’s been a hole in my heart all the makings of a fire I can’t seem to start always calling me home like a voice on the wind a lover when all I needed was a friend This town’s been a gun to my head a lonesome choir singing a song for the dead a cold white morning in a stranger’s room harsh daylight when all I could bear was the moon It’s followed me down and turned me around haunted and heavy, far from sacred ground But it’s sweeter than sin to know in the end that the place you come home to don’t mind where you’ve been This town’s been a comforting word from an old friend who’s stories beat any I’ve heard the color of the paint before all the rust a promise I never quite learned to trust It’s followed me down and turned me around haunted and heavy, far from sacred ground But it’s sweeter than sin to know in the end that the place you come home to don’t mind where you’ve been
