White Horses

All those nights in bluest December Waiting round for you to feel better Constellations falling from the sky Broken bottles blood on the table All these years and I wasn’t able To find a voice you would recognize I told you once before I don’t love you anymore I don’t love you anymore You know I tried There’s nothing left to say You don’t know me anyway You don’t know me anyway And that’s all right There’s nothing left to do Except walk away from you So I’ll walk away from you At least I’ll try Been a year since our last December All I’ve got to make you feel better Is a song you won’t recognize Empty voices awake in the night air Falling silent and I really don’t care If I’m wrong or if you think I’m right I told you once before I don’t love you anymore I don’t love you anymore You know I tried There’s nothing left to say You don’t know me anyway You don’t know me anyway And that’s all right There’s nothing left to do Except walk away from you So I’ll walk away from you At least I’ll try Given over I was Given over I was Giving over all my life

Bullet Train 04:24
So you’ve got it made Sunlight on your grave The golden age Of light and shade You’ve got it made So you’re going black Train is off the track You cross your heart You cross the tracks You’re going black The hunter held a holy ghost And he came to me And I was overthrown So you lost your nerve Wrapped around the curve Blood in your veins You took that train You lost your nerve So the river’s wide From the other side The water’s deep The water’s wide On the other side The hunter held a holy ghost And he came to me And I was overthrown Well’s on fire Cold desire For somebody Outside So you’ve got it made Sunlight on your grave Wind in your veins That old ghost train It lost its way You’ve got it made You’ve got it made You’ve got it made

New Orleans 04:14
There’s a house on the edge of town Filled with things that we left around Empty bottles and broken mirrors Trying hard just to disappear There’s a river and its running free With its own possibility Throws itself out into the sea Somewhere outside of New Orleans I wanted I wanted you There’s a voice when it comes to me Breaks my heart with its melody Growing stronger with every hour Coming down from your broken tower There’s a house on an empty lot Overgrown with forget-me-nots Growing older with every hour With your arms full of broken flowers How you gonna walk the streets With no one there to find you When the money runs out How you gonna fall asleep With no one there to wake you When the morning comes round Its coming around Left my love down in New Orleans Do you know what you’ve done to me Left it all to the Southern rain All my love on a one way train In a letter you sent to me Were the words that would set me free All my love like a mystery Do I want you, do you want me How you gonna walk the streets With no one there to find you When the money runs out How you gonna fall asleep With no one there to wake you When the morning comes round Baby its just you and me There’s no one left to run to In this watershed town So come to me dirty With the world hung on your shoulders And we’ll shake it all down I wanted I wanted you Left my love down in New Orleans Left my love down in New Orleans Do you know what you’ve done to me Left my love down in New Orleans I wanted you

How Long 03:58
It's like waking without sleeping Out of shadows into light It's like sleeping without dreaming In the valley of the night O my sister, O my sister I won’t ask you not cry O my brother, O my brother I won’t ask you not to lie How long how long In the cold cruel light of morning You will come to take my hand You will ask me to remember Where I’m going, where I’ve been How long how long Blue blue the skies Before the summer storm You say we’ll be all right Who’s asking Blue blue your eyes Inside the perfect storm You say we’ll be all right Who’s asking How long how long
5.
Hold on In the dark before dawn Bridges burn all night long I will be your shelter Carry you through fire Over many waters In the darkest hour I will be your answer I wanted you Dark star Full of dark illusion Nothing could be proven Give me no good answer I wanted you Carry the weight I will be there If you want me Come down Heavy in your splendor Morning sun an ember Burning out your own light I wanted you
6.
Fall forward in the atmosphere It's a heavy load to bear I’ve been living for the longest years Now I’m running out of air Heard a rumor in foreign wind There’s a war around the bend Bet your life on your lover’s heart Now you can’t find a friend Tell your momma that you’ll come home soon Tell your brother not to cry Its a long way across a western plain ‘Neath a big country sky Where are you I am already gone Throw your heart out on the western wind Its a hard heart to break Sell your soul out for a southern hymn It's a hard road to take Call your momma call your daddy too Tell em I wasn’t there I’ve been living in your atmosphere And I’m running out of air Where are you I am already gone
7.
Who’s to blame for the stolen days Broken wings and yellow haze I close my eyes just to feel alive I close my eyes, I close my eyes Who’s to blame for the desert sun Burn to dust all that I have done I go outside and I take a ride I drive all night just to feel alive Who’s to blame for the memories Lonely nights and stolen dreams This old ghost town is still around But its catching fire and its burning down Can we make it Can we make it out Who’s to blame for this broken ring Call to arms all the suffering I close my eyes and I’m still alive I close my eyes, I close my eyes

She’s got her finger on the hand of time She’s got one foot forward and the other behind And she’s betting all her chances on another day Close the screen door night’s coming on He’ll be back in the morning coming on strong And you might as well take some shelter from the storm I know yeah I know yeah I know It's gonna be fine We don’t break into pieces We don’t break into pieces We don’t break into pieces Like we used to do What am I gonna do Sunday morning light in the church She’s got one hand over everything that hurts And she’s betting all her chances on the everlasting arms There she goes on a stained glass night She’s got money in her pocket she’s taking flight And she’s leaving every one of us in the hands of God She knows yeah she knows yeah she knows We’re gonna be fine We don’t break into pieces We don’t break into pieces We don’t break into pieces Like we used to do What am I gonna do If you asked me to follow Would I find you I don’t know if you made it out You had a one way ticket heading south And you might’ve crossed the border late last night I can hear your voice on the wind I can hear you saying its gotta end And you’re betting all your chances on the other side We don’t break into pieces We don’t break into pieces We don’t break into pieces Like we used to do What am I gonna do

White Horses 03:41
Forget it That’s the only way Still I feel like I had more to say Fall forward That’s the only road Still I feel like I have lost my way White horses Oh won’t you take me higher Like lightning catching fire So silent Angel over me Do you bring me a word of life or love So quiet World on its knees I don’t hear any answer so I leave White horses Oh won’t you take me higher Like lightning catching fire Going down to West Virginia Given all the love that’s in you I don’t think it’s gonna be the last straw Going down to Oklahoma Given all the years I’ve known you I don’t think it’s gonna be the last straw White horses Oh won’t you take me higher Like lightning catching fire

I think every song should be slow I think every note should be low Cause you shut me out shut me in Shoved me off of my feet again You know it’s a sin Keeping it in On the first day of the year I saw a bird fall from the sky That bird it was flying so high And you know it ain’t right To be brought down in flight When you’re singing your song You know that it brought me so low That bird had to know When she sang her last song And let it all go You told me all I wanna hear You told me you sang it so clear You know it ain’t right To be telling me lies Nothing is wrong Everything’s gonna be all right Its out of line To be singing your song Like a lie I told you all you need to hear I told you I made it real clear Don’t you call me up call me out Call me in call me anything To leave me behind You’re out of your mind On the first day of the year Cause you shut me out shut me in Shoved me off of my feet again You know it’s a sin Keeping it in On the first day of the year

All My Love (free) 06:04
So you’re gonna lie there on the floor You don’t know who you’re looking for I will go lightly through the darkness So you want a revolution I want more Well I have halos I have roses and a thorn and I wear em all well Sing hallelujah with your pretty tongue Roses and a thorn and you wear em all well Say you’re gonna reach him now one of these days Sing hallelujah going home Well I’ve got money I’ve got what it takes to get me back home Sing hallelujah from those pearly gates You’ve got what it takes to get you back home Say you’re gonna reach him now one of these days Sing hallelujah going home All my love All my love I will give you all my love
12.
I won’t be the first to leave Baby you can count on me Meet me in the morning And we’ll wash away your sins I won’t be the first to leave Baby don’t you go tonight Darling it’ll be all right Stay with me till morning And we’ll talk it over then You don’t have to go tonight Maybe we should go tonight Drive until the road feels right Cross another border Find another empty town Maybe we should go tonight Baby don’t you go tonight Stay with me you know its right Build your life on lovers That’ll only tear you down Maybe you should stay tonight
