there's this feeling i get
when it all seems dark
and hopeless
and it's more about
why to go on
than how
it's easy to know
what to do
when you're young
but after you've been
tossed about a bit and made to think
you feel the weight of
every decision
every call
every question
these songs are about
how it all feels
the weight
the heaviness of the answers
and the lightness of letting go
i'm in a bar
i'm in a bar again
those old tavern lights always seem to take me in
i'm thinkin' hard
thinkin' 'bout your love
without the courage to face all the things i'm so scared of
oh and i'm a dreamer
i dream of walkin' with you
oh but dreamers walk alone
and i walk like dreamers do
yeah i'm a dreamer
i can't help it it's true
oh but dreamers walk alone
and i walk like dreamers do
i'm on a stage
i'm on a stage again
another two hundred miles down the road from where i been
i turn the page
but the story's the same
another picker i'm a lover and a loser and a liar and a friend
well i was stranded
left for dead
on the backside of my dream
kicked down
almost beaten
by the things that i had seen
and i said hey
can you help me
'cause i feel i'm sinkin' down
and there ain't no room
for believers
in this fiery faithless town
i got the dirt on my hands now baby
i got their blood on my soul
i go
down to the river
wash these sins away / tear all their lies away
down to the river
on my knees i pray
deceit
and betrayal
rips the hunger from your heart
leaves you broken
and deserted
with a hate so black and hard
now if we all want the same thing baby
how come i feel so cold
well it's the promise
and the pain
and the faith that makes you strong
pay the price
take the blame
face the doubts that dog you all night long
now i been trav'lin' a long time baby
ooh now i'm comin' home
i know that you're downhearted babe
i been downhearted too
seems like we're askin' for a miracle
just to find the will to make it through
now i can't own your darkness
i can't crush it in my hand
but i can give you all the love i got
and a place to make your stand
so won't you stand by me
baby stand right by
you rescue me for a moment
i'll rescue you for a while
well now i've wandered through these winters
drank my summers all alone
i've known the boys of every highway
and learned what all the faithless know
after years of chasin' aces
i still don't know what is real
the only thing i trust in now
is the way you make me feel
well you shot her with that .44
and she fell down on the ground
then you turned that gun upon yourself
and you chased your demons down
there were beer cans in the bedroom
whiskey bottles on the shelf
and you had no friends to help you
so you poured the wine yourself
i guess the whole world knew i loved you
such a hard, unbending love
but when you swam out past the breakers
i knew it would not be enough
she was just some lady midnight
so i didn’t mind at all
'cause i had thought that i could catch you
but i could only watch you fall
goodnight dark angel
leavin' this old world alone
goodnight dark angel
another soldier's comin' home
comin' home
well your telephone kept ringin'
lord but i could not get through
and alone tonight in houston
this ol' heart's 'bout broke in two
goodnight dark angel
leavin' this old world alone
goodnight dark angel
another soldier's comin' home
goodnight dark angel
leavin' this old world alone
goodnight dark angel
another soldier's comin' home
comin' home
i'm a little more whatever than i used to be
you're a little more whoever now that i'm free
i'm free
i'm free
free to love you baby free to leave
i'm a little more lonely than i would prefer
in a little more darkness when i see her
with you
with you
i'm free to stand alone free to be true
yeah i'm free to find my way
out on the open road
free to dream the fortunes that must remain untold
free to find you wanting
and to leave without a sound
free to fall and free to hit the ground
i'm a little more something that i can't explain
a little more saddened by the broken chain
of you
and me
the bloodied bodies and the still remains
yeah i'm free to find my way
out on the open road
free to dream the fortunes that must remain untold
free to find you wanting me
and to leave without a sound
free to fall and free to hit the ground
i'm a little more something that i can't explain
a little more saddened by the broken chain
of you
and me
the bloodied bodies and the still remains
the bloodied bodies and the still remains
in this house where nothing has been gained
