missing you

how was I to know
that you were thinking of leaving
you never once let it show
that you were planning to tear my world apart
for a start
how did you think that I would take the news
how many lonely nights can I keep living through
missing you
where am I to go
everywhere is the same without you
you left me out in the cold
and I can't seem to find my way back home
on my own
why did you wait until I fell for you
you never gave me a chance to prove my love to you
I needed you

halfway house

halfway house, halfway house x1000
roll your bag down the street
wondering about the people you'll meet
people new, people strange
refuse of the golden age
let's go all of the way
we can while away our days
we can learn macramé
we can pray for substantive change
at the halfway house, halfway house
up the stairs, through the door
feeling like you've been here before
a tired smile, then say hello
you haven't quite made it home
let's go all of the way
you gotta work if you want to play
no one has a whole lot to say
we all know that crime doesn't pay
halfway house, halfway house
one down, 89 left to go
to show you got your life in control
find a job, make new friends
but you know you'll be back here again
halfway house, halfway house

tennessee sex cop

it happened at a routine traffic stop
you must be the queen of the donut shop
with a badge and a gun and a smile so sweet
can't live without you girl, you keep me off the street
tennessee sex cop you're the one I love
tennessee sex cop thanking god above
when I needed someone to keep me safe & warm
you were there to comfort me
in tennessee
back at the station you try to find
some compensation for your peace of mind
if everything is going wrong, and nothing comes out right
you can turn to the boys in blue to get you through the night
at the end of the day towards the end of your shift
you gave me a wink and asked me did I need a lift
this could be the last time that I ever saw your face
one more time would be no more disgrace

dreams of the dying
02:53

dreams of the dying, dreams of the dead
your dreams are dying, they're stuck in your head
here are some faces you used to know
here are some places you'll never go
home, you're going home
dreams of the dying can never be told
dreams of the dying, now you're growing cold
you can be certain, if you want to know
you can be sure there's no good way to go
home, you're going home
river flowing, never knowing
when it reaches the sea
it will cease to be
dreams of the dying, dreams of the dead
you'll see a guiding light shine up ahead
there is just one thing that you need to know
there is just one place left for you to go
home, you're going home

dissolution

when I told you I loved you I meant
that I'd love you till the end of time
I didn't mean to tell you a lie
but things are changing around me
and I don't know what to do
about the space between me and you
what happened to the love
my world is turning black
what happened to the trust
I don't know but / that I want it back
how can you laugh at me when
everything's falling apart
where did you learn to be so cruel
what I would give to live
more deeply in your heart
and once again feel close to you
and so the story goes
round & round, round & round
you push your luck but nobody knows
where you'll land or if you'll
have another chance tonight
to make everything turn out all right

where were you
03:58
|

|
where were you when I needed someone to help me
where were you when I needed someone to care
I was drowning, in deep despair
you were neither here nor there
I had a moment of doubt about where I was going
I had a moment of doubt about where I had been
I cried a thousand tears for you
but I never laid eyes on you
how long like this can I go on
how many teardrops in one song
must I always feel this way
does it get no better than today
