Ladies & Gentlemen...

Stay

i saw it coming
i just thought that you should know
i'm feeling better every day
i'm only waiting if you stay

so don't feel bad
your faith was an illusion
and you're as loyal as your faith
will let you be

Golden

your expectation
it's not hard to live without
i'm feeling better every day
and emptiness still leaves a space
so don't feel bad
you lost all your emotion
and may you find all your relations
will keep you free

a careless bird is complicated
an empty nest still leaves a space

Au Revoir Simone

The Lucky

a dream of togetherness
turned into a brighter mess
a faint sigh my spoken best
now, now

make way for the simple hours
no finding the time it’s ours
a fate or it's a desire
i know

One

so i was the lucky one
reading letters, not writing them
taking pictures of anyone
i know

so let the sun shine
let it come to show us

that tomorrow is eventual
we know it when the day is done

Au Revoir Simone /// Million Dollar Hotel /// *

Fallen

we both know it's going
to be another long winter
the kind that freezes
shut the doors of early spring
but i still like the wind
when i hear you knocking
with a whisper
i'll open the doors
and i'll let you in

depressing things are empty
beds and lonely dinners
and women who are middle
aged with naked fingers
i'll buy myself a ring
to symbolize this marriage
every time i break
the laws to let you in

Snow

cause nothing's worse
than seeing you worse than me
and nothing hurts
like seeing you hurt like me
the consequence is less
than the happiness you bring to me
there's more to give
than what you take from me

believe in the things
that you know

sunshine
throw a starving man
a piece of bread

all i said, i didn't mean
the chill is strong
and nothing seems
to thaw the icy sentiment
of love that's gone
once winter's spent

Au Revoir Simone

Sad

play me a sad song

because
that’s what i want to hear
i want you to make me cry
i want to remember
the places that we left
lost to the mists of time

Song

i know that you’ll go soon
you’ll find out
so take me with you

always

on buses that move

through the night
we sleep on and on
we got off at memphis
black-top heat

will make us thirsty
we’ll never get sick

anymore

Au Revoir Simone

Didn't Leave Nobody

go to sleep little babe

go to sleep little babe

.

your momma's gone away and your daddy's gonna stay

didn't leave nobody but the baby

.

everybody's gone in the cotton and the corn

didn't leave nobody but the baby

.

you're a sweet little babe

you're a sweet little babe

.

honey in the rock and the sugar don't stop

gonna bring a bottle to the baby

But The Baby

don't you weep pretty babe

don't you weep pretty babe

.

she's long gone with her red shoes on

gonna need another loving babe

.

you and me and the devil makes three

don't need no other lovin' babe

.

go to sleep little babe

go to sleep little babe

.

come lay bones on the alabaster stones

and be my everlovin baby

Gillian Welch, Alison Krauss & Emmylou Harris /// O Brother Where Art Thou

I'll Be

close your eyes
close the door
you don't have to worry any more
i'll be your baby tonight

shut the light
shut the shade
you don't have to be afraid
i'll be your baby tonight
