-- Lyrics --
Drinking leads to my worried mind
My worried mind leads to you
Thinking of you leads nowhere
But to the devil and the ocean blue
I asked the moon for orchids
She said how about a drop of blood
From a rolling stone
She never fails to tickle my funny bone
How do you steal what you really want
When what you really want is free
And how do you deal when you’re lost at the wheel
Honey, thinking how it ought to be
You held my love for ransom
And posted a reward I could not afford
And dynamite from the ceiling to the floor
Yeah, from your one-eyed jacks to your rolled up trips
I'll be gone when your pocket aces flip
And it ain't no river that needs a damn
Just a slow and steady drip
I'll be your burn card
Lost in the shuffle
At the bottom of the deck
Trying to hide where the highway is low
And the low way is mine
You can burn me, turn me
Out to the snow and the wind and the rain
Again and again and again
I'm just'a leaving a little worse than when I came
Trouble is as trouble does
When it’s on a troubled mind
Reasons come and reasons will go
And the blind are following the blind
A coffin and a cradle
The daughter and the holy ghost in the same room
Me, I'm just making the dust fly with the broom
Yeah, from your one-eyed jacks to your rolled up trips
I'll be gone when your pocket aces flip
And it ain't no river that needs a damn
Just a slow and steady drip
I'll be your burn card
Lost in the shuffle
At the bottom of the deck
Trying to hide where the aces are low
And the blinds are too high
You can burn me, turn me
Out to the snow and the wind and the rain
Again and again and again and again and again
I'm just'a leaving a little worse than when I came

-- Lyrics --
On the second day of June
Beneath an almost crescent moon
We played echoes with the fireflies
You were almost seventeen
On the bright side of a dream
Blowing kisses to the paperboy
And the ribbons that we drew
On Magnolia Avenue
It was September before they washed away
We were driving in the dark
Getting lost in Echo Park
Heard The Luyas on the radio
At the tolling of a bell
Rays of sunlight, morning fell
Clouds cast shadow on the fields below
All of my words come tumbling down
Like violets in your curls
Oh, maybe it’s just this kind of man
Goes diving for a pearl
Till all my shackles and chains come off
I'm welded to the world
Was that so long ago?
With my ankles in the sand
Holding water in my hand
Disappearing beneath the shallow sweep
You were running with balloons
Some were yellow, some were blue
Tied a message and you let them go
What I wanted to convey
But it was more than I could say
Was how beautiful I thought that was
You were almost seventeen
On the bright side of a dream
Blowing kisses to the paperboy
All of my words come tumbling down
Like violets in your curls
Oh, maybe it’s just this kind of man
Goes diving for a pearl
Till all my shackles and chains come off
I'm welded to the world
All my leaves come autumning down
My mouth is full of birds
Maybe it’s just this kind of man
Goes diving for a pearl
Till all my wheels and gears come off
I'm welded to the world
Was that so long ago?
Was that so long ago?

Never Been a Captain

--Lyrics--
I've never been a captain
Always been a sailor
And until the sea releases me
A sailor I will remain
Well you worry 'bout your mama
Worry 'bout your baby
And you dream about a love that only comes your way
When you close your eyes at night
They may come to you with diamonds
May come to you with roses
They may come to you with promises
But darling, I promise only this
It’s a sad old world, sad old world
Got to keep on trying that's
All I know, all I know
If you're lucky enough to have her you
Hold that pearl, hold that pearl
If you're lucky enough to have her you
Hold that pearl, hold that pearl
Hold her, hold her
We all come here as strangers
Beggars at the table
But we leave here arm in arm
Laughing at the morning light
It’s a sad old world, sad old world
Got to keep on trying that's
All I know, all I know
If you're lucky enough to have her you
Hold that pearl, hold that pearl
If you're lucky enough to have her you
Hold that pearl, hold that pearl
Hold her, hold her
Hold her, hold her
Hold her, hold her
Old and new
Borrowed and blue
And everything, everything comes to you

-- Lyrics --
I could have warned you
But you were so young
I'm staying close to her
Never leaving her
These bodies mark the point
So bright
I'm staying close to her
I'm staying close
I'm staying close to her
