Big boat stealing through the darkness
Will you bring me to my love?
Will you bring me to my only love?

In the night the light of oneness
And the one light guides you home
And the keeper turns his cards alone

From this shore my memory wanders
And I dance upon the sea
Can I dance with you upon the sea?

Oh, I love your brown-eyed madness
And your beauty was exposed
Now your memory's clinging to my clothes

(Ooh ooh)

Shining in my light
Shining in the light
Shining in my light
Shining in the light
Shining in my light
Shining in my light

(Oh ooh)

Shining in my light
Shining in the light
Shining in my light
Shining in the light

Ho ho
Hoah hoa
Oh hoah

Shining in my light
Shining in the light, oh hoh
Shine, oh oh oh oh

Oh oh hoh
Oh oh hoh ho

Oh, yeah, here I am
I've been here since all time began
Oh, oh, I'm here and then
Go 'round and 'round and back again

Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah

Hey hey, come look and see
My footsteps through eternity
Riding hard, strong and free
The messenger will hold the key, oh

Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah

I saw you
I knew you
I touched you
When the world was young

I saw
And I knew
And I touched
When the world was young
When the world was young, oh oh

High on a hill, home of my heart
Take me dancing 'round, oh, and 'round
Carry me still sweet home of my heart
Take me dancing 'round, oh, 'round

I saw you
And I knew you
And I touched you
When the world was young

I saw you
And I knew you
And I touched you
When the world was young

Oh oh oh oh oh oh ohhh
Round, round, round, round

I saw you
And I knew you
And I touched you
When the world was young

I saw you
And I knew you
And I touched you
When the world was young

Carry me still home of your heart
Keep me dancing 'round oh, and 'round

Oh, oh, oh
When the world was young
Oh, oh, oh
When the world was young
Oh, oh

First there was a fire that burned
After came the sea
Crawling through the rain and storm
For you, for me

Slowly walks the sacred fool
Countenance sublime
Shining in the light of love
Shining, shining

Oh, shine for me now
Oh, shine for me now

High upon a golden horse
Out upon the sea
Moves a man with simple words
Some for you now, some for me

Burn for me, burn for me, ah
Oh, burn for me now
Oh, burn for me, burn for me, ah
Oh oh hoh hoh hoh

Out there where the wild wind blows
Oh, where the soul is free
You will be my brightest star
Shining, shining

Oh, shine for me now
Oh, shine for me now, oh

Ooh, burn for me burn for me, yeah
Oh, burn for me, burn for me
Oh ohhhh

Shine for me now
Oh oh oh ohh
Shine for me now
Hey hey hey
Oh

Another day is ended
I remember when
My world came falling down

Out there the stars stopped dancing
Lost in my darkness now
The rain keeps falling down

Light of my life
Where have you gone?
Love's true flame dies
Without the warmth of your sun

Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah

Here comes a blue train rolling
Across my heart it crawls
The rain still falling down

Another day escapes me
A little later maybe
Love will roll around

Light of my life
Where have you gone?
Love's true flame dies
Without the warmth of your sun

I been waiting on a corner
Yeah, I been waiting for your sign now
Oh, I been waiting on a corner
I been waiting for a sign now, oh now

Light of my life
Where have you gone?
Love's true flame dies
Without the warmth of your sun

So you know the blue train go
It carry my heart and my soul, oh
Eh, whistle blowing, blue train rolling
Carry my darkness all around, eh
Whistle blow, blue train roll
Carry my heart

I been waiting on a corner
I been wishing for a sign now, oh
I been hanging on a corner
I been waiting for a sign now, oh, ooh

Whistle blowing, blue train going
Calling across my mind now, oh
Oh, yeah

I been standing on the corner
I been waiting for the sun to go down
Yeah, the blue train, it's the blue train
Oh, it's a blue train rolling

Caught out running with just a little too much to hide
Maybe baby, everything's gonna work out fine
Please read the letter, I pinned it to your door
It's crazy how it all turned out, we needed so much more

Too late, too late, a fool could read the signs
Maybe baby, you'd better check between the lines
Please read the letter, I wrote it in my sleep
With help and consultation from the angels of the deep

Aww, aww

Once I stood beside a well of many words
My house was full of rings and charms and pretty birds
Please understand me, my walls came falling down
There's nothing here that's left for you but check with lost and found

Aww, aww
Aww, aww

Please read the letter that I wrote
Please read the letter that I wrote

One more song just before we go
Remember baby, all the things we used to know
Please read my letter and promise you'll keep
The secrets and the memories and cherish in the deep

Aww, aww
Aww, aww

Please read the letter that I wrote
Please read the letter that I wrote
Please read the letter that I wrote

Aww, aww
Aww, aww

Please read the letter that I wrote
Please read the letter that I wrote
Please read the letter that I wrote

Who guards the truth, oh lord most high
A frightened dove in a starless sky, oh?
So high, most high, so high

Who hides the east from the blind man's eye
In the land of peace where the righteous cry? oh,
So high, most high, so high

Where are the words? I'm the king
Who moves the stars and all the sun
To the light where my spirit was born
Bring this wanderer home

While mercy sleeps in the hearts of liars
And the olive tree is consumed by fire, oh
So high, most high, so high

Where are the words? I'm the king
Who moves the stars and then the sun
To the light where my spirit was born
Bring this wanderer home, come on, come on, come on

When David's seed talks through his paper crown
And he spits hot steel see all the kids fall down, oh yeah, mmm
So high, most high, oh, oh yeah, oh

Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on

Better hurry, hurry
Better hurry, hurry
Better hurry, hurry

Most high, most high
Most high, so high, so high
So high

Do you gather flowers for me?
Moving softly through the trees
With the scent against your arms
Long ago I knew your charms

As I walk through the purple hills of soon forgotten
Know that my heart was in your hand
And my heart was in your hand

Do your lips still call my name?
Would your mouth still taste the same?
There I learned the sweetest words
What price of mercy, yeah

Though I steal all across the years
The memory lingers on
With my heart in your hand
Oh, my heart in your hand

Should I fall beside the road
Everlasting wandering soul
And the memory sublime
And my heart was there, yeah

As I walk through the purple hills of long ago
I know my heart was in your hand
Oh, my heart was in your hand
My heart is in your hand
Oh, my heart

When I was born I was running
As my feet hit the ground
Before I could walk I was humming
An old railroad sound

Things didn't get much better
When by the age of five
They found me walking into Clarksdale
Trying to keep my friends alive

No time for celebration
There was no known cure
Seems I was born and raised
In the wrong killing floor

And my loved ones gathered 'round
See if the experiment had worked
I was misplaced, out of time
Priveleged and worse

Oh, mama please
Don't cry for me
Tears to the river
Tears to be free

Now I see twelve white horses, yeah
Walking in a line
Moving east across the metal
Bridge on highway 49

And standing in the shadows
Of a burnt out motel
The king of Commerce Mississippi waited
With his hound from hell, oh

A shiny noon riverboat taking
Income from the poor
It's floating by the levee in
An artificial pool

There's a six mile tailback
Back on junction 304
A stranger at the crossroads
Believe I've seen his face before

Don't cry for me
Tears fill the river
Tears to be free

Oh, I'm sad to be leaving
The sun is going down and I really got to go now
I'm sad to be leaving
The sun's going down, I really got to go now
Really got to go now, ah

I gotta go
I've got to move
I've got to move, yeah, ah

I'm sad to be leaving
Sun's going down and I really got to go now
I'm sad to be leaving
The sun's going down and I really got to go now
I really got to go now, oh ooh

I'm sad to be leaving
Sun's going down and I really got to go now
I'm sad to be leaving
The sun's going down and I really got to go now

Really got to go now, yeah
Oh, gotta go now, yes
Yes, gotta go now
Yeah

My mind is cracked, I stand alone
And my way is dark as night
Back on the hill, the wind it moans
And big black clouds fly by

The rain fell down, it drowned my heart
It raged inside my soul
The pain that tore the skies apart
The twisted night unfolds

Oh, I'm burning up
Oh, I'm burning up
Ooh, I'm burning up
Oh

This lovely road that I must walk
All these tears that burn my eyes
In emptiness, my torment roars
In my silent loveless life

Oh, I'm burning up
Ah, I'm burning up
Ah, I'm burning up
Oh

Oh, can you hear me?
Hear me calling across a thousand years
Oh, would you love me
If I die die a thousand times?

(Like a volcano) oh, I'm burning up
(Like a volcano) I'm burning up
(Like a volcano) I'm burning up
(Like a volcano) Yeah, I'm burning up

(Like a volcano)
(Like a volcano) oh oh oh, no yeah
(Like a volcano) no yeah awww

(Like a volcano)
(Like a volcano) burn burn burn burn burn
(Like a volcano) burn burn burn, ohhh

I was reaching for the future
Slowly floating in the blue
When I was a boy
I dreamed a dream of you

I danced upon the tree top
I drifted with the stream
When I was a child
I held you in my dreams

Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Ooh

Once I was a soldier
In my castle strong
Oh, I stood so tall then
I could do no wrong
Innocence and slumber
When I was a boy

I was walking with a stranger
He left without a trace
When I was a boy
I slept at Heaven's gate

Once I was a soldier
In my castle strong
Oh, I stood so tall then
I could do no wrong
Innocence and slumber
When I was a boy

Once I was a soldier
In my castle strong
Oh, I stood so tall then
I could do no wrong

Innocence and slumber
Oh, when I was, when I was, when I was
When I was, when I was
When I was, oh, oh, ooh yeah

Once I was a soldier
In my castle strong
Oh I stood so tall then
I could do no wrong

Innocence and slumber
Oh, ooh yes, you know and so I wonder
Through it grows and grows
When I was a boy
I was a boy
I was a boy

Oh, speak to me, tell me the truth
Why don't you let me know?
Oh, throw me the key, I'm locking it up
I think it's time to go

Oh, when I think about it now
We built a house of love somehow

Oh, talk to me, you're packing your clothes
You leave me walking the floor
Oh, feels strange to me, I'm losing control
I can't feel you anymore, ooh ooh

Oh, when I think about it now
We built a house of love somehow

It hurts a little too much
It hurts a little too much

Oh, my crazy arms, so empty now
So cold like dying snow
Mmm, remember me, I can't forget
You touched my very soul

Oh, when I think about it now
We built a house of love somehow

A little too much
It hurts a little too much
It hurts a little too much
It hurts a little too much, ah

You know you hurt me girl
You know you really really do now
You know you hurt me child
You know you really really do now
But things get better baby

When I was born I was running
Yeah, just-a running so hard now
Ah, but things get much better baby
But things get so hard, so hard, so hard

Ah, keep a-running, keep a-running
Things get better baby
Oh my crazy arms, so empty now
So cold like dying snow
Oh, remember me, I can't forget
You touched my very soul

When I think about it now
We built a house of love somehow

Just a little too much
Oh, a little too much
Just a little too much
It's just a little too much

Oh, come on, keep on, keep on
Come on come on come on

Go fetch another white girl
To play with in the sand
The one I have right now is broke
The one I really want has planned
To get religion, to find another way
She's at the temple, all I have to say

I have to face it, I'm home alone
I feel quite naked, oh, so forlorn
I am united in, in disarray
I've no intentions, I know to pray

Send me a dreamboat
That I can sail away
Adrift in warm devotion, no memory
I feel no pain
I live for new beginnings
To ride the win to win the day
Out on the ocean, decide I've got to stay

I can't get started, I'm at an end
She's got religion, I've lost a friend
I talk in circles, I make no sense
I get so nervous, no recompense

I have to face it, I'm home alone
I feel quite naked, oh, so forlorn
I am united in disarray
I've no intentions, I know to pray

Bring me the brightest star
That I can wish upon
And close my eyes so very tight
Pretend that you're not gone
So deep is my distraction
Maybe I'll disappear
When you're not here

I can't get started, I'm at an end
She's got religion, I've lost a friend
I talk in circles, I make no sense
I get so nervous, no recompense

I have to face it, I'm home alone
I feel quite naked, oh, so forlorn
I am united in disarray
I've no intentions, I know to pray

I can't get started, I'm at an end
She's got religion, I've lost a friend
I talk in circles, I make no sense
I get so nervous, no recompense

Go fetch another nice girl
Another nice girl
Another nice girl
Another nice girl
Another nice girl
Another nice girl
Another nice girl
Another nice girl

Oh, take the whiskey from my glass and run
Yes, take the whiskey from my glass and run
Take the love from my heart - take it all now
You tear it up and tear it apart
Oh, take the whiskey from my glass and run

Oh, you broke my heart and gone
Yeah, you broke my heart and gone
You tore it up - you tore it down
Little bitty pieces on the ground
Yeah, broke my heart and run
Oh yeah

Oh, take this chain from my heart and run
Yes, take these chains from my heart and run
Take these chains from my heart - I can't explain
How it can tear me apart if you call my name
Oh, take the whiskey from my glass and run
