I Can't Hold On

What can I say?
I guess we fell out of tune
My heart hit the floor when you entered the room
And there I stood in a puddle of glass
I wanted to cry but you started to laugh
I can't hold on for you
You said you'd be back, but I 'm smarter than that
With blood on my plate and a side of fat
I'll drink 'till I'm done then the morning comes
You're lips were dirty My fingers were numb
I can't hold on for you
Ten days clean and what tomorrow brings?
I'll wash these hands, I'll throw away these rings
And there I stood in a puddle of glass
I wanted to cry, but you started to laugh

New York Waltz

Took a train to New York City
Where everything is new again
Like that morning in September
Can you remember when?
I told her she looked pretty
She reached out to hold my hand
In the days that followed after
We just stood there listening
It's good to be home
Well, I know things can change and sometimes get worse
And I know I haven't been the man you wanted
But hope still shines in the strangest of places
Like that day, do you remember when?
I can see it on the faces I pass on the streets
I can see it in their eyes
And this city has laughed and this city has cried
Tonight, it feels so alive
And it's good to be home

Forgiveness
04:20
|
|||
|
Peace, Love, and Understanding
What a funny thing to say
As the daytime turns to evening
And I know that you'd be leaving
And there's nothing left to say
Lust, Pride, and Envy
What an awful thing to say
As the demons fight inside me
And there's no one here to guide me
And it's too late to come back from where I came
Hope, Faith, and Charity
What a lovely thing to say
As the sky falls all around us
And this land has chosen silence
And there's nothing left to say
We all need Forgiveness

She's on Fire
03:52
|
|

Well, you buy the drinks
I will buy the train fair
You ask was it worth it
I say that it ain't fair
She's on Fire
It's a simple world for me
Just magazines and TV
Nights and papers
Ink pens and reading
She's on Fire
So bring out the audience
I'm ready to jump that fence
I'll sing a song or two
And make them scream for you
Now we're on fire

Take the Place
03:17

She said stay away, but I cannot say
That I'd forever stay away from this place
I saw this man just the other day
He talked to me about past responsibilities
I don't think that I could ever be that man again
You see these days have made my hairs turn gray
I know for me I miss the nights of drinking wine and tasting your body
What you got to take the place of me?
What I got, I know you cannot see
The people come, my cup is full
I can't remember when it's ever been this way
I tell them all and I push on through
And I'll be alone and I'll walk for twenty days
A carnival I see in you, I think I'll go and I'll beg for a little change
I know its time and I'm overdue and I'll leave this place, but I'll never, never...
What you got to take the place of me?
What I got, I know you cannot see

Dirty Your Heart
03:13

What's it gonna be she said?
What's it gonna be?
Is it him or me, I said?
Is it him or me?
Where did we go wrong girl?
Where did we go wrong?
And why'd it take so long girl?
Why'd it take so long?
And I'll dirty your heart
Don't fall apart
You'll find yourself in the end
Like I said from the start
It'll tear you apart
You may not find solace again
Why'd you walk away, she said
Why'd you walk away?
I had to find some change girl
I had to find some change
Where did we go wrong, can you tell me?
Where did we go wrong?
Why'd it take so long, please tell me?
Why'd it take so long?
And I'll dirty your heart
Don't fall apart
You'll find yourself in the end
Like I said from the start
It'll tear you apart
You may not find solace again
Well she gave me a choice
She said it's me or your boys
Come find yourself in the end
She said to make a decision
It's me or your drinking
You may not find solace again
I do the right thing every day
Well I do the right thing almost every day
At least I try...

I stayed around this place too long
Things went wrong and I was gone
You'll never break this heart of stone
Break this heart of stone
I must have died a thousand times
Cause I know I've lived a thousand lives
You'd think by now I'd get it right
Maybe in the next life
She took me in from out of the cold
Now I'll never find that pot of gold
The devil called me Tommy
He was my only friend
Took me by the hand as he lead me down the wrong path again

Mr. Champ

It happened years ago
I watched my life flash by through a window
She said you look pretty worldly, like you've seen it all
Yeah, that might be true
But, what's the scoop with you?
You look like you've seen a pretty good bit yourself.
That's why they call me Mr. Champ
I've seen lots of luck
I've been around the block a couple of times
And everything I touch turns to gold
Take me by the hand my man
Show me the way of the land
Get me the hell out of this place, it's god damned cold
That's why they call me Mr. Champ
It happened years ago
I watched my life flash by through a window
She said I know where I'm going, but not where you've been
And you look like you've been to Vietnam in those pants
C'mon baby how 'bout one more chance
She said I don't want you going to where you're going alone

All the Witches
03:37

You used to be my muse
Now, you just amuse me
And now I do as I choose
You no longer abuse me
And this goes out to all the witches
All the nights they pulled me out of those ditches
Saved me from that cold,dark place
I want to thank you to your face
I was out there looking for something
She made me feel like there was nothing
She made me feel so sad and lonely
You make me fee like you're one and only
There were nights that I couldn't stand
You were there with a helping hand
There were mornings when I'd had enough
I want to thank you for all that stuff
And now I'm out here having it all
Because of you I'm not afraid to fall
Now I'm out there walking at night
Because of you I'm gonna be alright
And this goes out to all the witches
All the nights they pulled me out of the ditches
Saved me from that cold, dark place
I want to thank you to your face

Santiago

Outside San Pedro
There's Smoke and it's freezing
North of Santiago
Ten days before Christmas
And I'll run away from this place
I ran into this kid
He asked me where he'd been
I fell for a second
I think I scraped my chin
And I'll run away from this place
I saw the ginger man
He asked if I had a plan
The plates, the yard, the bed
When nothing left is said
And I'll run away from this place
Outside San Pedro
There's smoke and it's freezing
North of Santiago
Ten days before Christmas
