Back Water Blues

When it rains five days and the skies turn dark as night
When it rains five days and the skies turn dark as night
Then trouble's takin' place
In the lowlands at night

I woke up this mornin', can't even get out of my door
I woke up this mornin', can't even get out of my door
There's been enough trouble
To make a poor girl wonder where she wants to go

Then they rowed a little boat about five miles 'cross the pond
Then they rowed a little boat about five miles 'cross the pond
I packed all my clothes
Throwed them in and they rowed me along

When it thunders and lightnin' and when the wind begins to blow
When it thunders and lightnin' and the wind begins to blow
There's thousands of people
Ain't got no place to go

Then I went and stood upon some high old lonesome hill
Then I went and stood upon some high old lonesome hill
Then looked down on the house
Where I used to live

Backwater blues done call me to pack my things and go
Backwater blues done call me to pack my things and go
'Cause my house fell down
And I can't live there no more

I can't move no more
I can't move no more
There ain't no place
For a poor old girl to go

The Riverbed

Moon,
How it falls on the field down among us.
Rain,
Falls on the king, and his men on the riverbed.
Now,
Now we meet after all these years.

Do you my king, do you remember me?

Yeah, I see your face before me now.

And I'm telling you tonight, that I know we belong,
Beyond this life.
The war has taken it's turn, and it ain't ever turning back.

I grew to be a man
A man who grew to be a king.
Got a job at the mill,
And when the war came
I signed up for you.

Every day now,
I send a letter to the people back home.
Oh, I bet you long for the life that you lived.
Me and myself I got nothing to lose but this war.
And I'm telling you the war that I fought
It was wrong,
And we must die.
Well, now the shells are hammering down on the riverbed.

Drums roll,
And we must go.
We must go, the enemy is upon us.
Rise from your knee,
And now, pull to the bridge.

Oh, brother don't turn, cause I'm right behind you now.
Go on, go on, on up from the riverbed.
For I'm telling you the war that I fought
It was wrong,
And we must die.
It doesn't matter much now anyway,
Tonight we unite.

And when we're pushing through,
I turn around one last time,
And through the fire and the rain
I see the king's white flag.

The king lives on,

But everyone

Everybody dies.

A little Bit Of Soul

Where are you, now

I can only see your face

That's not good

If only I could forget

I know your hips

I know your zips

I kissed your lips

And everything's so great

What I need baby

Is a little bit of your soul

But you're too cold, baby

And your blood don't flow

Well you taught me

A few tricks in a bed

And that a lover

Can't be your friend

So may be flying

Can be lot of fun

But getting shot

Might be somewhere in the plot

What I need baby

Is a little bit of your soul

But you're too cold, baby

And your blood don't flow

Dramamine

Traveling swallowing Dramamine

Feeling spaced breathing out listerine

I'd said what I'd said that I'd tell ya

And that you'd killed the better part of me

If you could just milk it for everything

I've said what I'd said and you know what I mean

But I still can't focus on anything

We kiss on the mouth but still cough down our sleeves

Traveling swallowing dramamine

Look at your face like you're killed in a dream

And you think you've figured out everything

I think I know my geography pretty damn well

You say what you need so you'll get more

If you could just milk it for everything

I've said what I said and you know what I mean

But I can't still focus on anything

Autumn

There's a sign, possibilities 

Failing on who I wanna be 

And I lost it all, and I lost it all 

when I lost it all. 

Autumn day

That's enough for me 

And I've lost all the certainty 

I think I can hold 

I think I can hold on. 

Kill it when night fall 

Reckless sometimes hold

I wish I'd say no 

I wish I'd say no
