It's cold and I am thin and it is sinking in
It's cold and I am thin and you can see my battered skin
It's cold and I am thin and it is sinking in
My God it's sinking in
Before you came along I was a broken mess
Before you came along I was all locked inside my head
Before you came along I was a broken mess
I really like my dress
It's cold and I am thin and it is sinking in
It's cold and I am thin and you can see my healing skin
It's cold and I am thin and it is sinking in
My God it's sinking in
It's cold and I am thin and it is sinking in
It's cold and I am thin and there;s no marks upon my skin
It's cold and I am thin and it is sinking in
My God it's sinking in
My God it's sinking in
My God it's sinking in

All I Know
03:48
|

Paint the sky a dismal grey
Come with me this autumn day
You look like sun and walk like wind
Reminding me I've always been
Oh safe in your arms
Yeah you wear me like a scar
Lie with me beneath the trees
Watching fire fall like the leaves
Close your eyes and listen close
Feel the Lord inside your soul
Take my hand and follow close
As we haunt this town like ghosts
All I know is your the only thing I see
All I know is that God's been listening to me
Answered prayers have brought me here to you
All I ask is that you've prayed for me too
Spirits high and hearts aflame
I won't let this die between us again
Though we fight and though we brawl
When I'm with you I'm ten feet tall
Leave this place in our dust
Till the wheel come off from rust
A hundred years seem like a day
When you look at me and say
All I know is your the only thing I see
All I know is that God's been listening to me
Answered prayers have brought me here to you
All I ask is that you've prayed for me too
And in the night you'll walk right through my door
And I realize I've dreamt of this before
Fall asleep on my cotton bed alone
Always forget that for years you've been gone

Sweet Talk
03:43
|

Am I worth more than one line
Just one grain in the sands of time
They never count the years you've grown
Only tally the years you've earned
Won't you fly to my house tonight
We can find another way out
Just one more night here
One more miserable blessed fight til you're near
Oh take me away
I can't stand one more day in your heart
My trails went cold
But you're still digging for gold in my arms
Still feel your shivers down my spine
Still feel you fingers wrapped around my mind
A brighter place they say
But all I crave now is your sweet embrace
Oh take me away
I can't stand one more day in your heart
My trails went cold
But you're still digging for gold in my arms
They say don't give in
But you've been sweet talkin' me for hours now

Remember Me
04:16
|

Remember me when I was 17
And how the way things ought to be
When we found ourselves in the backseat of a truck
And I was young and I was innocent and I thought love was enough
We got drunk on your father's back porch
And we broke bottles on the trees in the yard
And I hate that it got too strong
But she was sweet and she was beautiful and she never did me wrong
So I'll wait on the outskirts of town
Waiting for that old pickup truck to come around
But I know that your busy that day
And we both know you'd never ask me to stay
And I drive by the house every year or two
Just to see the way our little baby girl grew
And I love in the yard she plays
And I hate that I'm the one, the one that got away
So I'll wait on the outskirts of town
Waiting for that old pickup truck to come around
The corner and I wonder if you ever miss me at all
But I know that your busy that day
And we both know you'd never ask me to stay

Don't
05:06
|

Don't leave me in the woods
I'm a crooked mess
I'd be lost for good
Don't leave me in the dark
I'm too scared to hide
I couldn't run that far
Don't leave me on this shore
It will all return
to how it was before
Don't say goodbye to me
I've been left enough
They didn't have to leave
Don't say goodbye to me
Don't say goodbye
Don't say
Don't leave me on this shore
it will all return
to how it was before
Don't say goodbye to me
I've been left enough
They didn't have to leave
Don't say goodbye to me
Don't say goodbye
Don't say
Please just stay
under these bright stars
with my broken soul
When you go
I'll be lost
Please just stay
under these damned stars
with my broken soul
When you go
I'll be lost
I don't want to be alone
Don't say goodbye to me
Don't say goodbye
Don't say

Easy Life
03:03
|

I've got holes in my heels as I walk this highway road
Been like this for three damn years
Try to hear son, hear what I've been told
You'll search the world for this pot of gold
It's the easy life living day by day
It's the easy life never a word to say
I'm the open road a thousand days a year just know that I miss you dear
I hope you found your love I know that I've found mine
Don't spend your earned on pillows and cheap wine
Keep the kids warm tell em' father sends his love
Don't need no drunkard keeping them from their wants
I like the easy life living day by day
I like my easy life never a word to say
I'm the open road a thousand days a year just know that I miss you dear
And when the time comes to make my way back home
I'll get a clean shave and a pack of cigs for two
And we'll go down to the creek where we first met talk all night through
Nothing but trees me and you
But I love my easy life living day by day
I love my easy life never a word to say
I'm the open road a thousand days a year just know that I miss you dear

What do you say dear father
What do you say dear father
Will I grow up to be a big strong man
What do you say dear brother
What do you say dear brother
Will I grow up to be a big strong man
Will I grow up to say I've done all I can
What do you say dear mother
What do you say dear mother
Will I grow up to be all that you were not
What do you say dear sister
What do you say dear sister
Will I grow up to be all that you were not
Will I grow up to to learn to follow the plot
How can I start
when our family's love been ripped and torn apart
How can I begin
When I live on separate houses on the weekend
How can I start
when our family's love been ripped and torn apart
How can I begin
When I live on separate houses on the weekend
What can I do when I'm told I'll have to choose between the two of you
How can I live
When I see the love between you die again and again
What do you say dear family
What do you say dear family
Can I grow up
Can I grow up
What do you say dear family
What do you say dear family
Can I grow up
Can I grow up

Reprise
05:36
|

When you're lost I won't try to understand
I'm not the kind of man to even ask
And when it's done and you know you've finally won
I know of a certain one you need to find
But at the end of your days
And your strings have all been frayed
And you're looking down a barrel of a gun
You've got a home that waits for you
And a man that waits for you
With the love of a thousand beating hearts
When these days now consist of these crooked politicians
That turn out to be morticians of our daily bread
And these wars I know they just won't stop
And there seems to be no plot to it all
My hope lies up above
With his mercy and love
Even though this whole worlds shot to hell
You can't way me down
I'm meant for Heaven's town
Where the pain of this world is no more
What do you say dear family
What do you say dear family
Can I grow up
Can I grow up
What do you say dear family
What do you say dear family
Can I grow up
Can I grow up
