Dry heart
A loss of all desire
Flee to the moon hill
Bliss, you're it
Night of gold
Incoming
Hello, freak
Can you see the sky ladder
By the limbo café
Leading to the green ray?
Sometimes it fades
Night of gold
Incoming
Night of gold
Incoming
Night of gold
Incoming
Night of gold
Incoming
In the wake of an accidental love
In the violence I will still my lungs
And live in the moments when I can't breathe
You silent my storm and tame my seas
Sweet obsession left me with no choice
You're an anthem I will lose my voice
I tethered myself to a dance with you
And I felt no fear when I came to
Rest your weary head, she's a longtime coming
Steady now, steady my heart when the lights go down
Steady my heart when the lights go down
With a shot I fall and I spill my love
I was naked arms around the sun
Should've held out for a stronger frame
Covered in red but I have no shame, no shame, no shame
Rest your weary head, she's a longtime coming
Steady now, steady my heart when the lights go down
Steady my heart when the lights go down
You couldn't know what you meant for me
Buried in love I will find some sleep
Rest your weary head, she's a longtime coming
Steady now, steady my heart when the lights go down
Rest your weary head, she's a longtime coming
Desolate, bury my heart when the lights go down
Bury my heart when the lights go down
Da draußen tobt doch alles weiter
Auch wenn ich heute nicht mehr wär'
Die Leute kaufen teure Dinge
Das Leben ist und bleibt unfair
Wir trinken Wein an meinem Fenster
Im Rausch schauen wir dem Ganzen zu
Und müssen beide wieder lachen
Irgendwie gehören wir doch dazu
Das ist dein Leben, das ist wie du lebst
Warum du liebst und lachst und dich selbst nicht so verstehst
Warum du dir wieder so fremd bist, in einer doch so hellen Zeit
Warum du den wieder vermisst, der dich sicher nicht befreit
Ja genau, das ist dein Leben; das ist wie du lebst
Warum wir manchmal fliegen; nichtmal wissen wie es geht
Und wir immer wieder aufstehen und anfangen zu gehen
Ja genau, das ist dein Leben und du wirst es nie verstehen
Dein Lächeln passt zu meinem Fenster;
Neuer Schein und altbekannt
Du sagst, wir haben uns nie verlaufen;
Wir haben uns ab und zu verrannt
Und die Sache wird schon laufen
Wenn man sich hier nicht verliert
Und bei all den kleinen Chancen
Wird's immer wieder neu riskiert
Das ist dein Leben, das ist wie du lebst
Warum du liebst und lachst und dich selbst nicht so verstehst
Warum du dir wieder so fremd bist, in einer doch so hellen Zeit
Warum du den wieder vermisst, der dich sicher nicht befreit
Ja genau, das ist dein Leben; das ist wie du lebst
Warum wir manchmal fliegen; nichtmal wissen wie es geht
Und wir immer wieder aufstehen und anfangen zu gehen
Ja genau, das ist dein Leben und du wirst es nie verstehen
Vielleicht überschwänglich groß oder doch zu klein geträumt
Hab ich bei all den andern Zweifeln, mein Happy End doch glatt versäumt
Es ist egal, wer da noch kommt oder schon gegangen ist
Es ist okay, dass du halt bist, wie du halt bist
Denn das ist dein Leben, das ist wie du lebst
Warum du liebst und lachst und dich selbst nicht so verstehst
Warum du dir wieder so fremd bist, in einer doch so hellen Zeit
Warum du den wieder vermisst, der dich sicher nicht befreit
Ja genau, das ist dein Leben; das ist wie du lebst
Warum wir manchmal fliegen; nichtmal wissen wie es geht
Und wir immer wieder aufstehen und anfangen zu gehen
Ja genau, das ist dein Leben und du wirst es nie verstehen
I get here early, and I go home late
Lately, what seems like every day
I keep my head up till I stop to pray
At the top of the hill is a sacred place
But down in the valley is where I roam
With these faded memories and half-written songs
And just when it seems that nothing else could go wrong
That's when I'm reminded we're not alone
There's a devil in this holler
There's evil in these hills
I'm just trying to make a dollar 'cause I've got to pay my bills
There might be gold on this mountain, but there's fire on the ground
Yeah, there's a devil in this holler, but he ain't gonna pull me down
Well, I throw my hand up when I'm driving in
Speak to the ones that ask me how I've been
By the time that I leave, I'm tired and in pain
I put the pedal to the floor on my way home to beat the train
I find my pride at the end of the day
My kids and my bride are why I live this way
Hand in hand at the table
Thank God for one more night
If I wake up in the morning, I'll be ready for the fight
There's a devil in this holler
There's evil in these hills
I'm just trying to make a dollar 'cause I've got to pay my bills
There might be gold on this mountain, but there's fire on the ground
Yeah, there's a devil in this holler, but he ain't gonna pull me down
There's a devil in this holler
There's evil in these hills
I'm just trying to make a dollar 'cause I've got to pay my bills
There might be gold on this mountain, but there's fire on the ground
Yeah, there's a devil in this holler, but he ain't gonna pull me down
Yeah, there's a devil in this holler, but he ain't gonna pull me down
You were my heart flower my poetry my song
Just one look at you and then I knew
On that day, serendipity smiled down on me
Time flew by swiftly; life was filled with dance and song
But it wasn't long before I learnt
On that day, you don't get to call the shots that way
I still think about the possibility of love
I see reflections of that moment now
From that day, just a fleeting glimpse that will not stay
You were my heart flower my poetry my song
But it wasn't long before I learnt
On that day, you don't get to call the shots that way
You don't get to call the shots that way
You don't get to call the shots that way
Come to me
Hold me close to your side
'Cause I still depend on your hurting words
Talk to me
Ease my need to be heard
Choke this flame that is burning our home
Are we strong enough to move on
From this never-ending loneliness?
Will we find the will to find hope?
Will our demons soon be laid to rest?
'Cause we're nothing but a shadow
Nothing but a shade
Nothing but a shadow
Nothing but a shade
Promise me
That one day when you're done
You will cut out this thorn from my heart
Because both of us are searching for a reason
A clue on why we have to carry on
So tell me why it feels like it is treason
To leave our home
'Cause we're nothing but a shadow
Nothing but a shade
Nothing but a shadow
Nothing but a shade
Time does nothing but help us heal
Still nothing will ever be as real
Nothing but a shadow
As the times we had
And that has now left our lives
Time does nothing but help us heal
Still nothing will ever be as real
Nothing but a shadow
As the times we had
And that has now left our lives
Trust me
It always turns out the same
Affection has always been a little game
Forgive me
It's one I've never understood
Love to me has been as bad as good
I've been drowning in the water
That you're walking on
Falling through the air as you float up
Hey ya, hey ya
I'll kiss your eyes and wash your skin
Hey ya, hey ya
Forget myself and let you in
Hey ya, hey ya
Because all I want is that cold affliction
Your affection
Affection
Believe me
It happens all the time
Affection can be as cruel as it is kind
Lover
Won't you give me a sign
Love can be as deaf as it is blind
I've been drowning in the water
That you're walking on
Falling through the air as you float up
Hey ya, hey ya
I'll kiss your eyes and wash your skin
Hey ya, hey ya
Forget myself and let you in
Hey ya, hey ya
Because all I want is that cold affliction
Your affection
Fall down into sleep
Into a fevered dream
Where I barely know what is going on
Except I know that I want you
And I know that I need you
And I tell you I love you again and again and again and again
Hey ya, hey ya
I'll kiss your eyes and wash your skin
Hey ya, hey ya
Forget myself and let you in
Hey ya, hey ya
Because all I want is that cold affliction
Your affection
Affection
Something's got a hold of me lately
No, I don't know myself anymore
Feels like the walls are all closing in
And the devil's knocking at my door, whoa
Outta my mind, how many times
Did I tell you I'm no good at being alone?
Yeah it's taking a toll on me, trying my best to keep
From tearing the skin off my bones
Don't you know
I lose control
When you're not next to me?
I'm falling apart right in front of you
Can't you see
I lose control
When you're not next to me?
Yeah, you're breaking my heart, baby
You make a mess of me
Problematic, problem is
I want your body like a fiend, like a bad habit
Bad habit's hard to break when I'm with you
Yeah I know, I could do it on my own, but I want
That real full moon black magic and it takes two
Problematic, problem is
When I'm with you I'm an addict
And I need some relief, my skin in your teeth
Can't see the forest through the trees
Got me down on my knees, darling please, oh
I lose control
When you're not next to me
I'm falling apart right in front of you
Can't you see
I lose control
When you're not next to me?
Yeah, you're breaking my heart, baby
You make a mess of me, yeah
I lose control
When you're not here with me
I'm falling apart right in front of you
Can't you see
I lose control
When you're not here with me?
Yeah, you're breaking my heart, baby
You make a mess of me
Nobody on the road Nobody on the beach I feel it in the air The summer's out of reach Empty lake, empty streets The sun goes down alone I'm driving by your house Though I know you're not home
But I can see you- Your brown skin shinin' in the sun You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone
I never will forget those nights I wonder if it was a dream Remember how you made me crazy? Remember how I made you scream Now I don't understand what happened to our love But babe, I'm gonna get you back I'm gonna show you what I'm made of
I can see you- Your brown skin shinin' in the sun I see you walking real slow and you're smilin' at everyone I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone
Out on the road today, I saw a DEADHEAD sticker on a Cadillac A little voice inside my head said, "Don't look back. You can never look back" I thought I knew what love was What did I know? Those days are gone forever I should just let them go but-
I can see you- Your brown skin shinin' in the sun You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone
I can see you- Your brown skin shinin' in the sun You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone
Tell her I'll be waiting in the usual place
With the tired and weary and there's no escape
To need a woman you've got to know
How the strong get weak and the rich get poor
Slave to love
Oho
Slave to love
You're running with me
Don't touch the ground
We're the restless hearted
Not the chained and bound
The sky is burning
A sea of flame
Though your world is changing
I will be the same
Slave to love
Oho
Slave to love
Slave to love (Nananana)
Oho (Nananana)
Slave to love
I can't escape
I'm a slave to love
The storm is breaking or so it seems
We're too young to reason, too grown up to dream
Now spring is turning your face to mine
I can hear your laughter, I can see your smile
Slave to love (Nananana)
Oho (Nananana)
Slave to love
I can't escape
I'm a slave to love
Slave to love (Nananana)
Oho (Nananana)
Slave to love
I can't escape
I'm a slave to love
(Nananana)
(Nananana)
Slave to love
I can't escape
I'm a slave to love
(Nananana)
(Nananana)
Slave to love
I can't escape
I'm a slave to love
(Nananana)
(Nananana)
Slave to love
I can't escape
I'm a slave to love
I'll take you places you've never been
I'll be waiting and I won't settle
We see the walls coming down and we breathe in
And for a second there we slow it down
We bring along beauty
And we'll seek the burnin' breeze ahead of us
Will you walk with me? Yeah
You won't imagine we've been there before
I'll tell you where we'll go
We've found the golden window here
The one where colours show
We're running on the edge of things
No one can catch up now
There's nothing else we need to feel
We'll hear the sound of crackin' ice
We'll jump feet first on to the ground
And race it all the way till we're leading
Will you walk with me? Yeah
You won't imagine we've been there before
I'll tell you where we'll go
We've found the golden window here
The one where colours show
We're running on the edge of things
No one can catch up now
There's nothing else we need to feel
Nothing else we need to feel
Nothing else we need to feel
Nothing else we need to feel
We've found the golden window here
The one where colours show
We're running on the edge of things
No one can catch up now
Well, you won't ima...
You won't imagine we've been there before
So, you don't...
You won't imagine we've been there before
There's nothing else we need to feel
Nothing else we need to feel
Nothing else we need to feel
Nothing else we need to feel
Nothing else we need to feel
You set the sun, I feel your waves
I look at the ocean, so big and brave
Am I only a ghost?
Cause what I fear the most is me
I left you on the coast for something only I can see
What kind of world will there be
When I wake up from this dream?
I hear you call so far away
Just keep me close when I'm afraid
And don't you give up on me
As I dive into the dark
Slip into the endless sea
Don't you give up on me
Are you swimming in the stars?
Breathing in eternity
Don't you give up on me
You are the moon, I feel your weight
You tug at the ocean, you help it change
And you keep on reminding me of a darkness only I can see
What kind of world will there be
When I wake up from this dream?
I hear you call so far away
Just keep me close when I'm afraid
And don't you give up on me
As I dive into the dark
Slip into the endless sea
Don't you give up on me
Are you swimming in the stars?
Breathing in eternity
Don't you give up on me
Don't you give up on me now
Don't you give up on me now
Don't you give up on me now
Don't you give up on me now
Don't you give up on me now
Don't you give up on me now
Don't you give up on me now
Don't you give up
And don't you give up on me
As I dive into the dark
Slip into the endless sea
Don't you give up on me
Are you swimming in the stars?
Breathing in eternity
Don't you give up on me
I used to be the one I used to be your getaway dreamer I couldn't get enough Thinking that we would last forever Don't know what you're thinking of Slipping further out of reach To the edge of town we could go Away from all the world to see
You were wild trying to set yourself free I didn't see the signs right in front of me
Oh, I'm running in the night so soon I've got nothing left to lose I'm leaving it all behind, running in the night with you I won't let you get away again We can see it through to the end But whatever we do I'm running in the night with you
I used to be the one I used to be your place to land Under the shadows Into the palm of my hand You're always changing the situation Just when we found paradise You're always shutting down the conversation I can never read your mind
Oh, I'm running in the night so soon I've got nothing left to lose I'm leaving it all behind, running in the night with you I won't let you get away again We can see it through to the end But whatever we do I'm running in the night with you
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh Running with the night Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh I'm running with the night

Oh, I'm running in the night so soon I've got nothing left to lose I'm leaving it all behind, running in the night with you I won't let you get away again We can see it through to the end But whatever we do I'm running in the night with you
Remember the words you told me? "Love me 'til the day I die" Surrender my everything 'cause you made me believe you're mine Yeah, you used to call me baby, now you're calling me by name Takes one to know one, yeah, you beat me at my own damn game
You push and you push and I'm pulling away, pulling away from you I give and I give and I give and you take, give and you take
Youngblood Say you want me, say you want me out of your life And I'm just a dead man walking tonight But you need it, yeah you need it, all of the time, yeah ooh ooh ooh Youngblood Say you want me, say you want me back in your life So I'm just a dead man crawling tonight 'Cause I need it, yeah I need it, all of the time, yeah ooh ooh ooh
Lately our conversations end like it's the last goodbye Then one of us gets too drunk and calls about a hundred times So who you been calling baby? Nobody could take my place When you're looking at those strangers, hope to God you see my face
Youngblood Say you want me, say you want me out of your life And I'm just a dead man walking tonight But you need it, yeah you need it, all of the time, yeah ooh ooh ooh Youngblood Say you want me, say you want me back in your life So I'm just a dead man crawling tonight 'Cause I need it, yeah I need it, all of the time, yeah ooh ooh ooh

Youngblood Say you want me, say you want me out of your life And I'm just a dead man walking tonight
Sundown
Gentle it falls on basement beds, bathed in red
My ancient heart and your eternal head
Dark days
All that I want, your chest on mine, breathe in time
I found my younger self inside your eyes
The night wind sings her song
Oh my lover, don't be long
I will wait until the dawn
I will wait
Frozen
My branches will wake when you rush in, kiss my skin
The edge of me is right where you begin
Oh and secrets
Things that our mouths weren't meant to say, let them lay
Beside us on this basement bed we made
The night wind sings her song
Oh my lover, don't be long
I will wait until the dawn
I will wait
The night wind sings our song
Oh my lover, don't be long
I will wait until the dawn
Sundown
Bare feet and hands are still for now, make no sound
To end my day with you is still profound
Detroit built brakes so that they could make a Chevy slow down
And a just-right midnight sorry might turn goodbye around
Bloody Marys and aspirin will give a hangover one hell of a fight
But my remedy for handling the hands of time
Is Seger singing "Hollywood Nights"
Even the losers get lucky sometimes
A paradise by the dashboard light
And I'm just fine, I'm doing alright
We ain't as young as we used to be
But young at heart is so easy
When you let some loud guitars and words that rhyme
Handle the hands of time
My go-to game day jersey's always Carolina blue
When I need to find forgiveness, I find a little small town church pew, yeah
After work I like to put my elbows up on a bar
And girl, I turn to the speakers when I need to speak to this ol' heart
And it's "Back In Black," "Shook Me All Night Long"
"Could You Be Loved," "Redemption Song"
"Luckenbach," "Home Sweet Home"
I'm "Where I Belong," "Ain't Nothing Wrong," yeah
We ain't as young as we used to be
But young at heart is so easy
When you let some loud guitars and words that rhyme
Handle the hands of time
Hands of time
Tryin' to hang on as the song rolls
Like gravity pulls on the grains of sand
We take our licks, life takes its toll
We say thanks and we fold our hands
And it's "Amazing Grace," how sweet the sound ("Amazing Grace")
Sunday morning coming down
Tuesday's gone, green grass of home (Tuesday's gone)
I come to the garden alone, yeah
We ain't as young as we used to be
But until under that willow you bury me
I'm gonna turn up some loud guitars
Turn up some loud guitars
(Turn it up loud) Turn up some loud guitars
(Turn it up) Crank some loud guitars
Crank up some loud guitars (Turn it up, turn it up now)
Wanna hear some loud guitars (Turn it up, turn it up now)
I'm gonna let some loud guitars and words that rhyme
(Turn it up, turn it up now, turn it up)
Handle the hands of time
I fell asleep, and when I woke up, I was old
I said goodbye to my youth, and my blood ran cold
I've got a feeling I just had to get away
I left it all behind on an endless road
But I see her face everywhere I go
I got everything I want, and I got nothing that I need
I got everything I want, and I got nothing that I need
I fell asleep, and when I woke up, she was there
With her long black hair and her ice-cold stare
She made me wish that I had never let her go
I threw away our love on the goddamn road
But I see her face everywhere I go
I fell in deep when you fell out of love with me
Now I got everything I want, and I got nothing that I need
If I believe, will you fall back in love with me?
Now I got everything I want, and I got nothing that I need
I got everything I want, and I got nothing that I need
I threw away my life on a goddamn road
But I see her face everywhere I go
I threw away our love on the goddamn road
And I see her face everywhere I go
I fell in deep when you fell out of love with me
Now I got everything I want, and I got nothing that I need
Just say the word, and I will change the life I lead
And I will push away the world just to keep you close to me
I'd give up everything I've got just to have what used to be
You're the one I'll never get, and you're the one thing that I need
I threw away my love on a goddamn road
But I see her face everywhere I go
I thought you'd be out of my mind And I'd finally found a way to Learn to live without you I thought it was just a matter of time Till I had a hundred reasons Not to think about you
But it's just not so And after all this time I still can't let go
I've still got your face Painted on my heart Drawn upon my soul Etched upon my memory, baby And I've got your kiss still Burning on my lips Your touch on my fingertips This love so deep inside of me, baby
I've tried everything that I can To get my heart to forget you But it just can't seem to
I guess it's just no use In every part of me Was still a part of you
And I've still got your face Painted on my heart Drawn upon my soul Etched upon my memory, baby And I've got your kiss still Burning on my lips Your touch on my fingertips This love so deep inside of me, baby
I've still got your face Painted on my heart Painted on my heart Painted on my heart, oh yeah
Something in your eyes keeps taunting me I'm trying to escape you And I know there ain't no way to To chase you from my mind
I've still got your face Painted on my heart Drawn upon my soul Etched upon my memory, baby And I've got your kiss still Burning on my lips Your touch on my fingertips This love so deep inside of me, baby
I've still got your face Still got your face Painted on my heart Painted on my heart Woo! Baby
Come on, come on, come on, come on, baby Come on, come on, my baby Come on, come on, my baby On my heart Woo!
I've still got your face Painted on my heart Baby Baby I've still got your face Painted on my heart
