Lighthouse of Love When all of a sudden the bottom it falls out And all your certainties turn into doubts And all your expectations turn out to be a hoax And all of the promises just dirty jokes When there ain't no signal coming down from above When all is lost in the raging flood Keep a weather eye out Keep a weather eye out Keep a weather eye out For the lighthouse of love When there is no light to penetrate the dark And only emptiness flows through your heart And you reach out but there's nobody there And you can find no resolution in the depths of your despair When there ain't no signal coming down from above When all is lost in the raging flood Keep a weather eye out Keep a weather eye out Keep a weather eye out For the lighthouse of love When you've been stripped down to the naked skin And the pain has started and you don't when it gonna end And you're all busted up and about to blow your top And you fall into begging Please make it stop When there ain't no signal coming down from above When all is lost in the raging flood Keep a weather eye out Keep a weather eye out Keep a weather eye out For the lighthouse of love

The Curse (free) 03:06
The Curse Big old garden snake bout as thick as a peg Crawled into the chicken coop, swallowed a wooden egg And when he tried to get back out the way that he come in He found out that old egg was twice as thick as him Oh, oh. The Curse Oh, oh. The Curse Ain't no snake ever born could go in reverse Oh. Oh. The Curse All that snake could do was to crawl straight ahead He found his-self a dangling down the side of that shed And since that egg weren't coming out his nether end He found his-self staring down at the end of him Oh, oh. The Curse Oh, oh. The Curse Ain't no snake ever born could go in reverse Oh. Oh. The Curse Now what's this story? What is it about Well the way you come in ain't the way that you go out And be careful not to bite off more than you can chew And never swallow anything that's bigger than you Oh, oh. The Curse Oh, oh. The Curse Ain't no snake ever born could go in reverse Oh. Oh. The Curse (one more time) Oh. Oh. The Curse

Country Song (free) 04:13
Country Song Out a work, puttering round the yard I guess I got into drinking a little bit too hard She was a working, started staying out Before I could bat an eye, the whole thing had gone south. Heading down that long road All I got is gone Feels like I am stuck inside A real bad country song I come home one evening she had moved out Oh, so sad and lonely inside that empty house We'd lived too long on credit, up to our necks in debt When everything had be sold, there wasn't nothing left Heading down that long road All I got is gone Feels like I am stuck inside A real bad country song She up and left me for another man Giving explanations I won't ever understand It broke like a glass on the cold concrete floor And I broke the key off in the lock when I bolted the last door Heading down that long road All I got is gone Feels like I am stuck inside A real bad country song Good bye everybody! You won't be seeing me around Nothing left for me in this town No, there's nothing left for me here And all I leave behind is just thirty years Heading down that long road All I got is gone Feels like I am stuck inside A real bad country song

Out of the Blue (free) 04:21
Out of the Blue When the rain obscures the horizon And the wheels hiss on the road And the darkness is descending And you've got miles and miles left to go. Maybe then you will remember When your mind's got nothing else to do And the memories will start descending Out of the blue Out of the blue Out of the blue When the wind is just a whisper And something in the shadows stirs And you forget what you are doing And your mind becomes a blur Maybe then you will remember When your mind's got nothing else to do And the memories will start descending Out of the blue Out of the blue Out of the blue Now that autumn is upon you And you're raking up the leaves The smell of smoke is in the air And it's finally time to grieve Maybe then you will remember When your mind's got nothing else to do And the memories will start descending Out of the blue Out of the blue Out of the blue

He Is Not (free) 03:46
He's Not Somewhere in the world a man just dropped Everything around him just stopped He left the room without making a sound Nobody noticed till the orderly made his rounds But he's not. Oh. Oh. He's not. Ain't no X gonna mark the spot where he's not Ain't no X gonna mark the spot where he's not Somehow he just slipped outa time Leaving only his remains behind An odd assortment of odds and ends Fingernails, toes, teeth and skin Cause he's not. Oh. Oh. He's not. Ain't no X gonna mark the spot where he's not Ain't no X gonna mark the spot where he's not You can't say that he moved on Cause there's no place for him to be gone He didn't fly high, he didn't sink low No, he didn't have nowhere to go He's just not. Oh. Oh. He's not. Ain't no X gonna mark the spot where he's not Ain't no X gonna mark the spot where he's not Oh! Time is a mighty tide It carries us far, it carries us wide It is the beating heart of the stars If you can still see'em you still are But he's not. Oh. Oh. He's not. Ain't no X gonna mark the spot where he's not Ain't no X gonna mark the spot where he's not

And So It Is (free) 03:51
And So It Is They put him in this big old place where very door is locked They don't want no one getting out, they might go for a walk He's feeling sad and lonely now so far away from home Not a single person there that he's ever known They take him to the window to get a little light Blind as a bat he don't know if it's day or night But his face like a flower, it turns to the sun And so it is And so it is Until his day is done All he's got now is the clothes upon his back And the things he carries round in a little plastic sack And all the fellas there, they are just like him A bunch of crazy, dying, and demented old men They take him to the window to get a little light Blind as a bat he don't know if it's day or night But his face like a flower, it turns to the sun And so it is And so it is Until his day is done God asks him questions nearly every night Problem is he doesn't get any of the answers right He's afraid he might fail God's final quiz And if there's any mercy at all he don't know where he is They take him to the window to get a little light Blind as a bat he don't know if it's day or night But his face like a flower, it turns to the sun And so it is And so it is Until his day is done

Around Once (free) 05:01
Around Once At first it looks like an endless road Millions of places to see, millions of places to go An optical illusion leads you astray There's no such thing as endless days Even old Methusala come to an end The same that waits for you and me around the bend You just get started and then it's done Yea, it's over before it's begun You don't got time to unpack your trunk And you only get to go And you only get to go You only get to go Around once Before you know it, it's half through What the hell have you done now, what the hell did you do Where the hell did all that time go And what the hell now do you have to show Choices on choices they make a fate The road once wide now's narrow and straight You just get started and then it's done'\ Yea, it's over before it's begun You don't got time to unpack your trunk And you only get to go And you only get to go You only get to go Around once Hopes all gone, goals unattained You struggled through the weather, the sleet, and the rain And looking back on the ruins of all that was You're lucky if you found someone to love And as you wait for the pains of the last You say to yourself, this too will pass You just get started and then it's done Yea, it's over before it's begun You don't got time to unpack your trunk And you only get to go And you only get to go You only get to go Around once

3 AM (free) 04:27
3 AM The days are so long, the nights are so cold I wake up frightened cause I'm getting old It's hard to find your sleep again When instead of counting sheep, you're counting days till the end The Night The Night The Night is very still I can feel the darkness pressing in Stark, raving awake at 3 AM Stark, raving awake at 3 AM Feels like I'm resting on a bed of rocks Amid the turmoil of unfinished thoughts All the things I did, all I left undone All the battles fought and lost, all the races run The Night The Night The Night is very still I can feel the darkness pressing in Stark, raving awake at 3 AM Stark, raving awake at 3 AM The poet at his candle continues with this toil Young lovers bring their passion to a boil The lonely soldier waits for that sudden sound And I can hear the world as it turns around The Night The Night The Night is very still I can feel the darkness pressing in Stark, raving awake at 3 AM Stark, raving awake at 3 AM

Heaven Bound (free) 02:53
Heaven Bound When she fell She fell like water No one saw her hit the ground Someone said she no ones daughter Mind long gone heaven bound Heaven Bound Heaven Bound When she fell she fell like water Heaven Bound To kiss the bright oblivion And not let the darkness in To find out just what happens Is there love and is there sin Is there sin Is there sin to kiss the bright oblivion Is there sin They buried her on Monday In a pine box with no name Seems the sorry that came with her Was to much for one to claim Claim her heart Claim her Claim her heart Claim her Claim her heart claim her heart The said a small prayer 'or her As they roped her to the ground And they lay upon her gently Some flowers they had found They had found They had found When she fell She fell like water heaven bound Heaven Bound Heaven Heaven Bound Heaven Heaven Bound Heaven Bound Bound Bound

Broken Hearted Melodies Broken hearted melodies seem to fill the air Sadness and sorrow I can feel it everywhere All of our dreams just went up in smoke We thought we was rich, turns out we was broke Nothing now anyone can do Just have to buckle down and try to see it through You can lean on me if I can lean on you The sum of my grief I cannot add it up But at the moment it feels a bit too much That's that now. The verdict has been sealed I can only hope the wound is not too great to heal Nothing now anyone can do Just have to buckle down and try to see it through You can lean on me if I can lean on you We are just children huddled against the storm Clinging together and trying to keep warm Funny how the wind, the wind can blow so very cold Hurting our bodies, numbing our souls Nothing now anyone can do Just have to buckle down and try to see it through You can lean on me if I can lean on you
