Desolation Overture
Cold as betrayal
Black as the crow who knows the story well
The pale horse
The tolling bell
We're all just sand
Falling through hourglass in the devil's hand
Throwing stars on the sea
When the time has come
It's the only thing that's already said & done
But you'll write the words below your name
When the scythe cuts you away
You sow & you reap
And he'll harvest the crop
Nothing's here to keep
The ones you love the most
Replaced by ghosts
Then dreams turn to prayers
Between the cradle & the rocking chair
While the devil deals another card somewhere
Reads the time has come
It's the only thing that's already said & done
But you'll write the words below your name
When the scythe cuts you away

Sundown
Oh lazy sundown
I'd wait there for you
And lay my guns down
I still adore you
This could be your last song
So, I've got to let you know
I tried to hold on
But time let you go
I never let it show
I hope she knows
Was only time
That let her go

Solitary Man
I have been a solitary man
Ever since you quit my side
I held the stone & learned to walk alone
With my heart strings untied
Sweet woman, I can never chain your love
But that's a game of win & lose
The sun won't always shine, know that I'll be doing fine
Long as I can shake off these solitary blues
You're only a dream, only a dream to me
And I don't want to wake
All that I want, how could you always walk on
And leave these heart strings playing
I have been a solitary man
Like an island or a jail
Learned to stand through solitude, a taller man
But only love could pay the bail

Ramshackle Heart

Ramshackle Heart
Once more, my ramshackle heart
Has gone & let me down again
Like before, my ramshackle heart
Wouldn't let my head explain
Falls in love like a bullet from a gun
Only to be torn
Into fire & feathers thrown against a storm
Or like a child that's just been born
Dumb & frail, my ramshackle heart
Has gone & let me down again
Need a hammer & a nail for my ramshackle heart
To build a shelter from the glorious pain
Falls in love like a bullet from a gun
Only to be torn
Into fire & feathers thrown against a storm
Or like a child that's just been born

Me & Melancholia

Me & Melancholia
Me & melancholia
Wait by the hollow for her
To wake from her sleep
But she never wakes
By moonlight, I wonder
Was the spell she's under
Cast only by me
Inside a dream
Where her wild heart goes
I'll never know
Goodbye, golden sun
The day, now, is done
But me & melancholia
Still wait by the hollow for her
To wake from her sleep
But she never wakes

Poor Jenny
Poor Jenny was a girl of the night
Down on Lower Robert Street
Poor Jenny wasn't strong enough to fight
Where the hollow tunnels meet
In the heart of old London Town
No one heard the kicking of her feet
Jenny's killer swung that hammer to the ground
Down on Lower Robert Street
The Victoria took the Adelphi
Away from the flowing Thames
Then the criminals took poor Jenny
Down to where all rivers end
Some say you can hear the ghost of Jenny scream
When the witching hour crows
Where the road marks the end of Jenny's dreams
And Lower Robert Street is closed

The Longest Winter
You're always with me through the sun & snow
You're always with me wherever I go
The longest winter, the biting frost
Still, there ain't no love like the love you've lost
You're always, always
You're always, always
You're always, always
You're always with me
Though life is colder, not a day goes by
When you ain't on my shoulder, when you ain't on my mind
And once two people have laughed & cried
And said hello, they never really say goodbye
You're always, always
You're always, always
You're always, always
You're always with me

Devil Got My Baby
Looks like the devil's got my baby, now
And I will never get her back, no matter how
Hard I try to fold the sky, there's nothing left to save
I'll take it with me all the way down to the grave
I see her in a dream & I call out her name
And I just blame myself, there's no one else to blame
My head is filled with sorrow, my heart is in the ground
I was the devil child who spun the wheels that ran her down

Lucky Old Sun
I hope you're rolling on
Round heaven with that lucky old sun
Cause sometimes, when something's lost
It's lost forever & that's a cost
Some say, it's just a trick of the cup
Love can save your life or love can fuck you up
Maybe I just need a friend
Just hear them say
It's not too late to start again
So, I hope you're rolling on
Round heaven with that lucky old sun
Cause down here, the sun don't shine
But I'm doing alright, half the time
Maybe, I'll fly down to Andalu
Have I been in the wrong damn crowd, my whole life through
Tonight, I just need a friend
Just to hear them say
It's not too late to start again
