Rearview Mirror Sunrise - from "On a Full Moon Weekend: Saturday"
Coming Home- from "On a Full Moon Weekend: Saturday"
Hey mama, I'm coming home.
Wont you help me lay my Burdens down.
Deep inside me I feel so alone,
With everyone in every town.
Chorus:
I hate to say it, but they come to take me away again.
They come to take me away again.
Theres no better way, when you're young,
than to let them in.
Fix me up something like you used to make
And talk to me like mothers do.
My heart has taken all that it's gonna take.
I learned More than I wanted to.
Chorus
It's been so long since I've seen the sky
Can't see what's right in front of me.
If it don't hurt me I just walk on by,
If it does I just can't let it be.
Chorus
Wont you help me lay my Burdens down.
Deep inside me I feel so alone,
With everyone in every town.
Chorus:
I hate to say it, but they come to take me away again.
They come to take me away again.
Theres no better way, when you're young,
than to let them in.
Fix me up something like you used to make
And talk to me like mothers do.
My heart has taken all that it's gonna take.
I learned More than I wanted to.
Chorus
It's been so long since I've seen the sky
Can't see what's right in front of me.
If it don't hurt me I just walk on by,
If it does I just can't let it be.
Chorus
Green Line Train - from "On a Full Moon Weekend: Sunday"
Artesian Well - from "On a Full Moon Weekend: Sunday"
Gonna dig me a hole...in a ditch...at the bottom
of an old artesian well.
Gonna fix my pony with a letter to my baby,
send him straight to hell.
And oh God I hope he finds her there
so she'll know the reason why,
I dug my hole, now im crawling in to die.
There's a lark in the meadow, and the grass points west
with the wind of approaching rain.
And he sings his song like he'd rather be a sparrow,
he's been through too much pain.
And the road cirles 'round this lonesome place,
the travelers ask him why.
He said I dug my hole, now im crawling in to die.
Theres a lady in the dark with a fading spark,
and a scarf wrapped around her head.
Just a copper if you're tight in the failing light
will get her into bed.
There's a crack in the ceiling just wide enough,
to see straight to the sky.
She said I dug my hole, now i'm laying down to die.
of an old artesian well.
Gonna fix my pony with a letter to my baby,
send him straight to hell.
And oh God I hope he finds her there
so she'll know the reason why,
I dug my hole, now im crawling in to die.
There's a lark in the meadow, and the grass points west
with the wind of approaching rain.
And he sings his song like he'd rather be a sparrow,
he's been through too much pain.
And the road cirles 'round this lonesome place,
the travelers ask him why.
He said I dug my hole, now im crawling in to die.
Theres a lady in the dark with a fading spark,
and a scarf wrapped around her head.
Just a copper if you're tight in the failing light
will get her into bed.
There's a crack in the ceiling just wide enough,
to see straight to the sky.
She said I dug my hole, now i'm laying down to die.
Captain Collins- from "On a Full Moon Weekend, Sunday"
My old man fought in the war
and he talks of distant oceans,
But he can't say now what it was for
though he sees it here in me.
Good night Captain Collins
Say your prayers and sleep.
Lay down all your burdens
I am yours to keep.
And he drinks to laugh when he gets home,
for he's tired of his vocation.
But he works himself to the bone,
for the life he sees in me.
Good night Captain Collins
Say your prayers and sleep.
Lay down all your burdens
I am yours to keep.
It's hard knowing what to do
for yourself or for another,
But before my living is through
I will find it here in me.
and he talks of distant oceans,
But he can't say now what it was for
though he sees it here in me.
Good night Captain Collins
Say your prayers and sleep.
Lay down all your burdens
I am yours to keep.
And he drinks to laugh when he gets home,
for he's tired of his vocation.
But he works himself to the bone,
for the life he sees in me.
Good night Captain Collins
Say your prayers and sleep.
Lay down all your burdens
I am yours to keep.
It's hard knowing what to do
for yourself or for another,
But before my living is through
I will find it here in me.
