one song

[GPARSUNDA]

On a summer day you can hear her call,

But in a funny way she reminds you of the fall,

On a summer day you can hear her call,

But in a funny way she reminds you of the fall,

 

Thru the fields an the streams an the lakes an the trees,

An the grass an the logs run all my dogs,

And I am home again

 

In the autumn air,

You can see her smile,

But in a funny way she reminds you of a child,

 

In the autumn air,

You feel her soul unfold,

And in a funny way you feel your own explode,

 

Thru the fields an the streams an the lakes an the trees,

An the grass an the logs run all my dogs,

And I am home again

 

On a winter day,

You can hear her call,

But in a funny way when the snow begins to fall

 

On a winter day,

You can hear her call,

And in a funny way,

You love her even more

 

Thru the fields an the streams an the lakes an the trees,

An the grass an the logs run all my dogs,

And I am home again

 

Thru the fields an the streams an the lakes an the trees,

An the grass an the logs run all my dogs,

And I am home again

 

On a summer day you can hear her call,

But in a funny way she reminds you of the fall,

On a summer day you can hear her call,

But in a funny way she reminds you of the fall

"When I was a kid I went from ground zero to Pluto"

[Elixir Sue]

Early one mornin' the sun was shinin',

I was layin' in bed

Wond'rin' if she'd changed at all

If her hair was still red.

Her folks they said our lives together

Sure was gonna be rough

They never did like Mama's homemade dress

Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough.

And I was standin' on the side of the road

Rain fallin' on my shoes

Heading out for the East Coast

Lord knows I've paid some dues gettin' through,

Tangled up in blue.

 

She was married when we first met

Soon to be divorced

I helped her out of a jam, I guess,

But I used a little too much force.

We drove that car as far as we could

Abandoned it out West

Split up on a dark sad night

Both agreeing it was best.

She turned around to look at me

As I was walkin' away

I heard her say over my shoulder,

"We'll meet again someday on the avenue,"

Tangled up in blue.

 

I had a job in the great north woods

Working as a cook for a spell

But I never did like it all that much

And one day the ax just fell.

So I drifted down to New Orleans

Where I happened to be employed

Workin' for a while on a fishin' boat

Right outside of Delacroix.

But all the while I was alone

The past was close behind,

I seen a lot of women

But she never escaped my mind, and I just grew

Tangled up in blue.

 

She was workin' in a topless place

And I stopped in for a beer,

I just kept lookin' at the side of her face

In the spotlight so clear.

And later on as the crowd thinned out

I's just about to do the same,

She was standing there in back of my chair

Said to me, "Don't I know your name?"

I muttered somethin' underneath my breath,

She studied the lines on my face.

I must admit I felt a little uneasy

When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe,

Tangled up in blue.

 

She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe

"I thought you'd never say hello," she said

"You look like the silent type."

Then she opened up a book of poems

And handed it to me

Written by an Italian poet

From the thirteenth century.

And every one of them words rang true

And glowed like burnin' coal

Pourin' off of every page

Like it was written in my soul from me to you,

Tangled up in blue.

 

I lived with them on Montague Street

In a basement down the stairs,

There was music in the cafes at night

And revolution in the air.

Then he started into dealing with slaves

And something inside of him died.

She had to sell everything she owned

And froze up inside.

And when finally the bottom fell out

I became withdrawn,

The only thing I knew how to do

Was to keep on keepin' on like a bird that flew,

Tangled up in blue.

 

So now I'm goin' back again,

I got to get to her somehow.

All the people we used to know

They're an illusion to me now.

Some are mathematicians

Some are carpenter's wives.

Don't know how it all got started,

I don't know what they're doin' with their lives.

But me, I'm still on the road

Headin' for another joint

We always did feel the same,

We just saw it from a different point of view,

Tangled up in blue.

 

[Sweet Papa Crimbo]

It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe

It don't matter, anyhow

An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe

If'n you don't know by now

When your rooster crows at the break of dawn

Look out your window and I'll be gone

You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on

Don't think twice, it's all right

 

It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe

That light I never knowed

An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe

I'm on the dark side of the road

Still I wish there was somethin' you would do or say

To try and make me change my mind and stay

We never did too much talkin' anyway

So don't think twice, it's all right

 

It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal

Like you never did before

It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal

I can't hear you any more

I'm a-thinkin' and a-wond'rin' all the way down the road

I once loved a woman, a child I'm told

I give her my heart but she wanted my soul

But don't think twice, it's all right

 

I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe

Where I'm bound, I can't tell

But goodbye's too good a word, gal

So I'll just say fare thee well

I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind

You could have done better but I don't mind

You just kinda wasted my precious time

But don't think twice, it's all right

She placed her ring on the sill,

dishes piled high

She's on the front porch step

and the air smells like snow

She's thinking of the siege to come

and how she'll miss those weekends

in the park with the sun on her face

and her book by her side and that

lingering taste that he left on her tongue

 

He lifts his glass from the table

It leaves a ring where it stood

He sees the light from the window

caress her like he knows he should

He's remembering the first time he kissed her

and how he'd wake

and immediately he'd miss her,

like a spell, with each breath,

he'd taste her breath like a haunting,

irritating as hell

 

Do you remember when you'd pray

to never see the day

when someone would make you feel this way

'Cause you knew

they would cut right through you

and once inside, you were afraid they'd find

nothing to hold on to

 

He puts her ring on her finger,

she brushes back his hair

He takes a sip from his glass,

she inhales the cold fall air

And they're thinking of the long road ahead

and the strength that they will need

just to reach the end

And there in the silence they search for

the balance between this fear that they feel

and a love that has graced their lives

[Sweet Papa Crimbo]

She's waitin' for me

when I get home from work

oh, but things ain't just the same

She turns out the light

and cries in the dark

won't answer when I call her name

 

On the stairs I smoke a

cigarette alone

Mexican kids are shootin'

fireworks below

Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July

Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July

 

She gives me her cheek

when I want her lips

but I don't have the strength to go

On the lost side of town

in a dark apartment

we gave up trying so long ago

 

On the stairs I smoke a

cigarette alone

Mexican kids are shootin'

fireworks below

Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July

Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July

 

What ever happened I

apologize

so dry your tears and baby

walk outside, it's the Fourth of July

 

On the stairs I smoke a

cigarette alone

Mexican kids are shootin'

fireworks below

Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July

Hey baby, Baby take a walk outside

[GPARSUNDA]

The right of callous goes to malice

Molder in the grave

The scene to witness inner fitness

Leaves without a wave

To turn about inside the outer

Layer that we save

Becomes apparent when we wear it

Such is the beauty that you gave

 

You hypnotize my bloodshot eyes

the night life's latest craze

they twist their shouts and jump about

our memory isn't fazed

by doucumentors recent assent

into the freakish phase

remember that we are the purpose

of this human race

 

and oh so slowly

turn to show me

where our points

are shaved

to them that simply

see us empty

but for not our

amber waves of sin

 

a dialogue is half created

out of our own words

we like the texture and pretend

that this we haven't heard

its up to here in good defense

another loss is cruel

but some how with the help of

pills, I remain a pillar calm

 

lets guess the number of regrets

our good life will acquire

there seems to be some small

discrepancy between the truth and lie

but somehow we should work around the better half of dead

wake up wake up my little one

my little sleepy head

[Dude]

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping

While my guitar gently weeps

I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping

Still my guitar gently weeps

 

I don't know why nobody told you

How to unfold your love

I don't know how someone controlled you

They bought and sold you

 

I look at the world and I notice it's turning

While my guitar gently weeps

With every mistake we must surely be learning

Still my guitar gently weeps

 

I don't know how you were diverted

You were perverted too

I don't know how you were inverted

No one alerted you

 

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping

While my guitar gently weeps

I look at you all

Still my guitar gently weeps

[timbits]

I became a thin blue flame

Polished on a mountain range

And over hills and fields I flew

Wrapped up in a royal blue

I flew over royal city last night

We're fighting the harms of a new moon light

Caesars ghost I saw the wartime tides

The prince of Denmark's father's still unquiet

The whole world was looking to get dreamt

Dreams were a fist shaking themselves at the clouds

I looked over curtains all thing that I knew

That only a full house gonna make it through

 

I became a thin blue wire

Held the world above the fire

And so it was I saw behind

Heaven's just a thin blue line

Your God's up there he's in a cold dark room

The heavenly host or just the cold dark moons

He then bent down and made the world in seven days

And ever since he's been walking away

Mixing with nitrogen and lonely holes

Where neither seraphim or raindrops go

I see an old man wandering the halls alone

But only a full house gonna make a home

 

And I became a thin blue stream

The smoke between asleep and dreams

And in that clear blue undertow

Is a royal city far below

Borders soft with refugees

Streets are swimming with amputees

It's a bible or bullet that they put over your heart

It's getting harder and harder to tell them apart

The days are nights and the nights are long

Beating hearts blossom into walking bombs

And those still looking to the clear blue sky for a sign

Get missiles from so high they might as well be divine

And now the dogs are howling at your door

Singing about vengeance like it's joy of the Lord

Bringing justice to the enemies, not the other way around

The guilty were killed and they're killed where they're found

 

If what's loosed on earth will be loosed up on high

It's a hell of a heaven we must go to when we die

Where even Laurel begs Hardy for vengeance please

The fat man's crying on his hands and his knees

Back in the peace time he caught roses on stage

Now he twists indecision, takes Bourbon for rage

Like pellets peppering aluminum

Halcion, Laudanum , and opium

Sings "Kiss Thee Hardy" this poison cup

His wind up sheet is busy winding him up

And doctors he looks for the lights that have died

You need faith for the same reasons that it's so hard to find

And this whole thing is headed for a terrible wreck

And like tragedy that's what we expect

 

And then I made plans for a city laid down

The hips of a girl on the spring covered ground

Spirals and capitals and the twists of a script

Streets named for heroes that could almost exist

Fruit trees from Eden and the gardens that seem

To flow like the smoke from a lithium dream

Cedar trees growing in the cool of the squares

Young women walking in the puddles of prayer

The future glass buildings and the past in a dress

The wedding's in pollen and the wine bottomless

And all wrongs forgotten and all vengeance made right

The suffering verbs put to sleep in the night

The future descending like a bright chandelier

The worlds just beginning and the guests have good cheer

In royal city I fell into a trance

Cause it's hell to believe there ain't a hell of a chance

 

I woke beneath the clear blue sky

The sun had shot the breeze aside

The old hometown and the streets I knew

Wrapped up in a royal blue

I heard my friends laughing-out across the fields

Girls in the gloamin' and the birds in the wheel

The raw smell of horses and the warm smell of hay

Cicadas electric in the heat of the day

A run of Three Sisters in the flush of the land

and the lake was a diamond in the valley's hand

The straight of the highway in the scattered out hearts

They were coming together they were pulling apart

And angels everywhere were in that midst

The ones that I loved and the ones that I kissed

I wondered what it was I'd been looking for above

Heaven's so big there aren't no need to look up

So I stopped looking for royal cities in the air

Only a full house goanna have a prayer

 

Only a full house...

[GPARSUNDA]

She colourblind tired eyes

Her hallway aching

She'll never move him - likes it that way

He's just a walker and he'll never stop walking away

It's not too soon he said, it's not too soon at all

You might as well be dead he said

If you're afraid to fall, I said -, I know her

She said - why do you stare so hard

Wrapped up like a doll in bad dreams and broken arms

Make these old bones shiver

It's not too soon he said, it's not too soon at all

You might as well be dead he said

If you're afraid to fall, I said - I know her

The last time I saw you, you were standing in the dark

And with a freezing face, I watched you fall apart

It's not too soon he said, it's not too soon at all

You might as well be dead he said

If you're afraid to fall, I said,

Done your time, been in your place

I couldn't look you in the face

And tell you that it turns me on

It makes my stomach turn

I know her

[Analogman]

This must be the place

Second place in the human race

Down in the basement

Now I know what he meant

Secondary modern

But there won't be a problem till the girls go home

 

This is the hand that you never shook

You never gave me the chance that I took

Secondary modern

But there won't be a problem till the girls go home

 

Is it out of the question

Between you and me

Is it pleasure or business

Or a packet of three?

 

Nobody makes me sad like you

Now my whole world goes from blue to blue

Secondary modern

But there won't be a problem till the girls go home...

[Saint Genevieve]

Golden rod and the 4-H stone

The things I brought you

When I found out you had cancer of the bone

 

Your father cried on the telephone

And he drove his car to the Navy yard

Just to prove that he was sorry

 

In the morning through the window shade

When the light pressed up against your shoulder blade

I could see what you were reading

 

Oh the glory that the Lord has made

And the complications you could do without

When I kissed you on the mouth

 

Tuesday night at the Bible study

We lift our hands and pray over your body

But nothing ever happens

 

I remember at Michael's house

In the living room when you kissed my neck

And I almost touched your blouse

 

In the morning at the top of the stairs

When your father found out what we did that night

And you told me you were scared

 

Oh the glory when you ran outside

With your shirt tucked in and your shoes untied

And you told me not to follow you

 

Sunday night when I cleaned the house

I find the card where you wrote it out

With the pictures of your mother

 

On the floor at the great divide

With my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied

I am crying in the bathroom

 

In the morning when you finally go

And the nurse runs in with her head hung low

And the cardinal hits the window

 

In the morning in the winter shade

On the first of March on the holiday

I thought I saw you breathing

 

Oh the glory that the Lord has made

And the complications when I see his face

In the morning in the window

 

Oh the glory when he took our place

But he took my shoulders and he shook my face

And he takes and he takes and he takes

[GPARSUNDA]

And I hate candy

But I like rain

And I like substance

To tickle my brain

And I'd like to see you

And I'd like to say

that I can't wait

To see you today

 

Wheres my little trouble girl?

Theres no real trouble girl

Cmon cmon cmon

 

And I get serious

And I get sad

And I get nervous

With the problems we have

But I will want you

Through the leisure and loss

I will want you

No matter the cost

 

And I want you near me

Yes Ineed you by my side

And I guess this trouble will pass

So I'll take the good with the bad

 

Wheres my little trouble girl?

Theres no real trouble girl

Cmon cmon cmon

 

Wheres my little trouble girl?

Theres no real trouble girl

Cmon cmon cmon

Let the night air cool you off

Tilt your head back and try to cough

Don't say nothing 'bout the things you never saw

Let the night air cool you off

 

I ain't living like I should

A little rest might do me good

Got to sinking in the place where I once stood

Now I ain't living like I should

 

Can you hear that singing? Sounds like gold

Maybe I can only hear it in my head

Fifteen years ago we owned that road

now it's rolling over us instead

 

Richard Manuel is dead

 

God forbid you call their bluff

Like the nightmares ain't enough

Remember when we used to think that we were tough?

God forbid you call their bluff

 

First they make you out to be

the only pirate on the sea

Then they say Danko would have sounded just like me

"Is that the man you want to be?"

 

Can you hear that song? It sounds like gold

Maybe I could make it bigger overseas

Fifteen years ago we owned this road

now it only gives us somewhere else to leave

 

Something else you can't believe

 

Can you hear that singing? Sounds like gold

Maybe I can hear poor Richard from the grave

singin' where to reap and when to sow

when you've found another home you have to leave

 

Something else you can't believe

[GPARSUNDA]

I heard a rumor that I'm sad

or at least that I feel bad

whoever said that doesn't know

I'm pretty sure that I don't know

 

And if a case was made for this

Could it be something that we missed

Let's let the cat out of the bag

Let's let the neighborhood go bad

 

It take some time but there you go

It takes a lot of guts to show

The silly side of who we are

As if we'd ever go that far

 

So we can put away the watch

And we can throw away the cane

And we can walk through god's own will

Because he's crying crying still today

 

What are the odds that you are right

What will we have to eat tonight

What if I told you it's ok

To be my action figure

 

I've swatted bugs all afternoon

I've swallowed beer like a cartoon

and if old Waylon hung the moon

Will we be singing with him soon

 

And I will learn to look away

When there are thing I cannot bear

Perhaps you'll sing a diferent tune

Perhaps well learn to tell the diference

 

There are people that I know

Who live content within their limits

And we are lucky to be so

Completely interactive

[Nobody Girl]

Put me in your suitcase

Let me help you pack

'Cause you're never coming back

No, you're never coming back

 

Cook me in your breakfast

And put me on your plate

'Cause you know I taste great

Yeah, you know I taste great

 

At the hop, it's greaseball heaven

With candy pants and Archie too

 

Put me in your dry dream

Or put me in your wet

If you haven't yet

No, if you haven't yet

 

Light me with your candle

And watch the flames grow high

No, it doesn't have to try

It doesn't have to try

 

Well, I won't stop all of my pretending

That you'll come home

You'll be coming home, someday soon

 

Put me in your blue skies

Or put me in your gray

There's gotta be someway

There's gotta be someway

 

Put me in your tongue tie

Make it hard to say

That you ain't gonna stay

That you ain't gonna stay

 

Wrap me in your marrow

Stuff me in your bones

Sing a mending moan

A song to bring you home

[M. (hristine]

Are you out there

Can you hear me

Can you see me in the dark

 

I don't believe it's all for nothing

It's not just written in the sand

Sometimes I thought you felt too much

And you crossed into the shadowland

 

And the river was overflowing

And the sky was fiery red

You gotta play the hand that's dealt ya

That's what the old man always said

 

Fallen Angel

Casts a shadow up against the sun

If my eyes could see

The spirit of the chosen one

 

In my dream the pipes were playing

In my dream I lost a friend

Come down Gabriel and blow your horn

'Cause some day we will meet again

 

Fallen Angel

Casts a shadow up against the sun

If my eyes could see

The spirit of the chosen one

 

All the tears

All the rage

All the blues in the night

If my eyes could see

You kneeling in the silver light

 

Fallin', fallin', fallin' down

Fallin', fallin' down

Fallin', fallin', fallin' down

Fallin', fallin' down

 

Fallen Angel

Casts a shadow up against the sun

If my eyes could see

The spirit of the chosen one

 

All the tears

All the rage

All the blues in the night

If my eyes could see

You kneeling in the silver light

 

If you're out there can you touch me

Can you see me I don't know

If you're out there can you reach me

Lay a flower in the snow

[Dude]

Angel came down from heaven yesterday

She stayed with me just long enough to rescue me

And she told me a story yesterday

About the sweet love between the moon and the deep blue sea

And then she spread her wings high over me

She said she's gonna come back tomorrow

 

And I said

Fly on, my sweet angel

Fly on through the sky

Fly on, my sweet angel

Tomorrow I

Leave the bird you killed at your father's feet.

Let the sideways rain in the crooked street remain.

 

Leave whimpering dog in his cold kennel.

Leave the dead starlit on her pedestal.

Leave the acid kids in their green fishbowls today.

 

Leave the sad guitar in its hard-shell case.

Leave the worried look on your lover's face.

Everything must belong somewhere.

I know that now, that's why I'm staying here.

 

Leave the ocean's roar in the turquoise shell.

Leave the widower in his private hell.

Leave the liberty in that broken bell today.

 

Leave the epic poem on its yellow page.

Leave the grey macaw in his covered cage.

Let the traveling band on the interstate remain.

I know that now, that's why I'm staying here.

Yeah I know that now that's why I'm staying here.

 

Leave the secret tops on the trundle bed.

Leave the garden tools in the rusted shed.

Leave those bad ideas in your troubled head today.

 

Leave the restless ghost in his old hotel.

Leave the homeless man in his cardboard cell.

Let the painted horse on the somber carousel remain.

 

Cause everything must belong somewhere.

Just like the gold around your finger and the silver in his hair.

Yeah, everything must belong somewhere.

I know that now, that's why I'm staying here.

I know that now, that's why I'm staying here.

 

In truth, the fullest tears resound.

Each blade of grass as it lies down.

The world requires no audience.

no witnesses, no witnesses.

 

Leave the old town drunk on his wooden stool.

Leave the autumn leaves in the swimming pool.

Leave the poor black child in his crumbling school today.

 

Leave novelist in his daydream tune.

Leave the scientist in his rubik's cube.

Let true genius in the padded room remain.

 

Leave horses hair on the slanted bow.

Leave the slot machines on the riverboat.

Leave the cauliflower in the casserole today.

 

Leave the hot white-trash in their shopping malls.

Leave the hawks of war in their capitals.

Let the organs moan in the cathedral remain.

 

Cause everything must belong somewhere.

You lock the devil in the basement, God up into the air.

Yeah, everything must belong somewhere.

I know it's true, I wish you'd leave me here.

I know it's true, why don't you leave me here?

[GPARSUNDA]

Some kind a strange kind of feelings coming over me

I bled from the back to the front for the world to see

 

You gotta run

You gotta stay

Cause I'll be screaming to have had my way

I got my head in the gutter

and it looks as if it's gonna stay

 

I, just can't take it

I, don't you say it

I, I can't take it, oh

 

I, fuck me down now

I, run me down now

I, run around now, oh

 

I now have hit the ground

And just look at what I found

Everything is alright when you're down, hey hey

 

Strange as it can seem

Like livin' in a scream

Everything is alright when you're down, hey hey

 

Everything I say is going wrong

[embiggen]

I am a man of constant sorrow,

I've seen trouble all my day.

I bid farewell to old Kentucky,

The place where I was born and raised.

(The place where he was born and raised )

 

For six long years I've been in trouble,

No pleasures here on earth I found.

For in this world I'm bound to ramble,

I have no friends to help me now.

(He has no friends to help him now.)

 

It's fare thee well my old lover.

I never expect to see you again.

For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad,

Perhaps I'll die upon this train.

(Perhaps he'll die upon this train.)

 

You can bury me in some deep valley,

For many years where I may lay.

Then you may learn to love another,

While I am sleeping in my grave.

(While he is sleeping in his grave.)

 

Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger

My face, you'll never see no more.

But there is one promise that is given

I'll meet you on God's golden shore.

(He'll meet you on God's golden shore.)

My best friend knows this old guy who

Who keeps a picture in his shoe

He takes it out after a spell

Says -see

Shouldn't stare that way so long baby...

Stare holes into the walls

My dress hangs here for you to wear out

I walked in beauty too, till I met you

Here hangs this chain

This thing this old girl keeps

We got it easy

So why do you stare that way so long

Stare holes into the walls

We're all honey

Dripping through the honey chain

And lay our lives down

Down and pretty

In the honey chain

Please don't stare that way so hard baby...

Stare holes

I'll write you a letter tomorrow

Tonight I can't hold a pen

Someone's got a stamp that I can borrow

I promise not to blow the address again

 

Lights that flash in the evening,

Through a crack in the drapes

 

Jesus rides beside me

He never buys any smokes

Hurry up, hurry up, ain't you had enough of this stuff

Ashtray floors, dirty clothes, and filthy jokes

 

See you're high and lonesome

Try and try and try

 

Lights that flash in the evening,

Through a hole in the drapes

I'll be home when I'm sleeping

I can't hardly wait

 

I can't wait, hardly wait

I can't wait, hardly wait

I can't wait, hardly wait

I can't wait, hardly wait

I can't wait, hardly wait

So ambition cut you down

Ain't a love as perfect

Everybody knows it

Something drove you down

 

Something as good

Something new

Somebody good

Our ambition cuts us down

 

There's not a love that's perfect

But I, I live in hope

 

Somebody good

Somebody new

Something as good

Something that's mine

 

Ain't a love that's perfect

Everybody knows it

Ambition cuts us down
