- Aching All the Time
When you're falling fast for someone but you know it just ain't right
And will it's true but all we seem to do is fuss and fight
And woe some love is all that seems to get you through the night
You'll find your mind is achin' all the time, all the time
You'll find your mind is achin' all the time
I heard it said in order to receive one must give
So in my heart I always did believe that's how I lived
You came along and proved it wrong, time and time again
- Barfly
Barfly
Just a barfly, baby, uh huh
Barfly
Just a barfly, baby, uh huh
Kiss me before you go
I'm going low and lately
Barfly
A barfly, baby, uh huh
- Be Here Now
Don't let your mind get weary and confused
Your will be still, don't try
Don't let your heart get heavy child
Inside you there's a strength that lies
Don't let your soul get lonely child
It's only time, it will go by
Don't look for love in faces, places
- Burn
Oh mama don't walk away
I'm a goddam sore loser
I ain't too proud to stay
But I'm still thinking 'bout you
And I'm so lonesome without you
And I can't get you out of my mind
Oh mama don't leave me alone
with my soul sat down so tight it's like a stone cold tomb
- Can I Stay
Can I stay here with you till the morning?
I am so far from home and I feel a little stoned
Can I stay here with you till the morning?
There's nothing I want more
Than to wake up on your floor
Lay with me in your thinnest dress
Fill my heart with each caress
- Empty
She lifts her skirt up to her knees
walks through the garden rows
with her bare feet laughing
I never learned to count my blessings
I choose instead to dwell
in my disasters
- Hold You in My Arms
When you came to me with your bad dreams and your fears
It was easy to see you'd been crying
Seems like everywhere you turn catastrophe it reigns
But who really profits from the dying
I could hold you in my arms
I could hold you forever
I could hold you in my arms
I could hold you forever
- Homecoming
Billboard, back road, meadow
Sunset through the trees
I can' t remember the faces I've seen
Low and mean
High rise, white light, shadows
Years in the air
I don' t recall all the "why"
- How Come
People on the street now
Faces long and grim
Souls are feeling heavy
And faith is growing thin
Fears are getting stronger
You can Feel them on the rise
Hopelessness got some by the throat you can see it in their eyes
I said how come
- I Still Care For You
Hear me out, day follows day
Light turns to clay in my hands
How to explain so pristine the pain
Kindness made the cut so clean
I still care for you
I still care for you
I still care for you
- Jolene
Cocaine flame in my bloodstream
Sold my coat when I hit Spokane
Bought myself a hard pack of cigarettes in the early morning rain
Lately my hands they don't feel like mine
My eyes been stung with dust, I'm blind
Held you in my arms one time
Lost you just the same
Jolene
- Lesson Learned
Well the truth it fell so heavy
Like a hammer through the room
That I could choose another over her
You always said I was an actor, baby
Guess in truth you thought me just amateur
That you never saw the signs
That you never lost your grip
- Lessons Learned
Well the truth it fell so heavy
Like a hammer through the room
That I could choose another over her
You always said I was an actor, baby
Guess in truth you thought me just amateur
That you never saw the signs
That you never lost your grip
- Let It Be Me
There comes a time,
A time in everyone's life
When nothing seems to go your way,
When nothing seems to turn out right
There may come a time,
You just can't seem to find your place
For every door you open,
- Meg White
Meg White
You’re alright
In fact, I think you’re pretty swell
Can’t you tell?
Meg White
Such a pretty thing
I saw your face on the cover
- New York City is Killing Me
There’s just something about this hotel
Got me wishing I was dead
Gotta get outta New York City, son
Somewhere I can clear my head
I was just kicking along the sidewalk
Don’t wanna look you straight in the eyes
Don’t wanna ask you how you’re doing
- Part Two - In My Own Way
Lock the door
Draw the shades
Close my eyes
I'm miles away
I'll spend the day in my own way
Count the hours
Lock the days
- Shelter
Shelter
I guess you don't need it
I guess you don't want me to repeat it
But everything I have to give I'll give to you
It's not like we planned it
You tried to stay, but you could not stand it
To see me shut down slow
- This Love Is Over
Going out of my mind
Don't even know my own name half the time
How'd I get so blind that I couldn't see
What was right in front of me?
Wish I was wrong
I wish that you were right here lying in my arms
Deep down inside I got to face the truth
- Till The Sun Turns Black
Can you see the young and pretty
Confident as cops
Blooming, laughing in the shops
Till the sun turns black
Can you see the old and lonely
Walking through the park
Pushing grocery carts
- Trouble
Trouble
Been doggin' my soul since the day I was born
Worry
Just will not seem to leave my mind alone
Well I've been saved by a woman
I've been saved by a woman
I've been saved by a woman
She won't let me go
- Winter Birds
It's the widow now that owns that angry plow
The spartan mule and the crippled cow
The fallow field that will yield no more
As the fox lay sleeping beneath her kitchen floor
The stream can't contain such the withering rain
And from the pasture the fence it is leaning away
The clouds crack and growl like some great cat on the prowl
- Without Words
Step outside the sea
They don't know you like I do
They don't know you like I do
Not all of life is cruel
Not all of life is so untrue
Not all of life is so untrue
- You Are The Best Thing
Baby, it's been a long day, baby
Things ain't going my way
You know I need you here
Here by my side
All of the time
And baby, the way you move me it's crazy
It's like you see right through me
