I’m in a town I hardly know even by daylight
I’m stranded here by snow, won’t you stay with me tonight
Whoa, whoa
Tell me a tale that I’ll remember for a while
Tell me a tale that I’ll remember…
Tell me a story about your family and school
Pitch your ambition before I leave you
This bar is called the Ocean View but I just can’t see why
Out in mid-Nebraska, snowy anvils in the sky
Whoa, whoa
Tell me a tale that I’ll remember for a while
Tell me a tale that I’ll remember for a while
Tell me a tale that I’ll remember for a while
Tell me a tale that I’ll remember…
Tell me a story, won’t you bend my ear
Take me away to anywhere that’s miles from here
Tell me a tale that I’ll remember for a while
Tell me a tale that I’ll remember for a while
Tell me a tale that I’ll remember for a while
Tell me a tale that I’ll remember…

Blushing Rose
03:20

She came down from Montreal through the Adirondacks, Adirondacks
Stopped beside a stream, dreamed a lucid dream
In the sun she felt it come like it was washing over, washing over
Felt it arch her neck til the clouds brought her back into the present
She drove a hundred miles through the valleys, through the valleys
Felt the earth slipping through her fingers
Felt the earth slipping through her fingers, through her fingers
Where the trees hang over the road, she drove, Blushing Rose
Whispered secrets she knows, let go, Blushing Rose
She pulled off for the night by a mountain lake, a mountain lake
With banks so steep and high, she felt that she could fly
And when she closed her eyes, that dream came back again
Every scene the same, repeated frame by frame
Where the trees hang over the road, she drove, Blushing Rose
Whispered secrets she knows, let go, Blushing Rose
Every secret I’ve been told hung like leeches on my bones
Poison sirens left behind like feathers in a cage
Where the trees hang over the road, she drove, Blushing Rose
Whispered secrets she knows, let go, Blushing Rose
Let go, Blushing Rose
Let go, Blushing Rose

Keeseville

I have most of what I want
A little house and orchard that I own
A husband who plants cherry trees, a nursery for a child
And the stars go on for miles
A pile of rocks is my only orchard fence
It’s always quiet out here in Keeseville
And Casey’s corner store has the cheapest cigarettes
For miles around
I found Heaven
You can stop lookin’
I found Heaven
You can stop runnin’
Come on back to me
One chair on the porch faces the street
I’ll pick cherries til I hear you call
I stained my fingers and cut my lips, my blood still runs the same
Just tell me when, just tell me when
I found Heaven
You can stop lookin’
I found Heaven
You can stop runnin’
Come on back to me
Standing at the back of my wedding
Came to see if I would run
Then you smiled and disappeared again
And I hated you for moving on
I found Heaven
You can stop lookin’
I found Heaven
You can stop runnin’
Come on back to me
Come on back to me, come on back to me
Come on back to me, come on back to me
Come on back to me

Row row your boat to my window
Row row to my kitchen door
Row row your boat to my window
Row row to my kitchen door
You gotta eat to stay on your feet
Your knees will buckle and drop
I’ve got the dish that you can not miss
Honey, you’ve gotta make a stop
You’ve gotta make a stop
Row row your boat to my window
Row row to my kitchen door
Row row your boat to my window
Row row to my kitchen door
Sugar and beets and everything sweet
All got tossed long ago
I’ll make your blood boil and retinas coil
With every trick I know
With every trick I know
Row row your boat to my window
Row row to my kitchen door
Row row your boat to my window
Row row to my kitchen door
Nothin’ up my sleeve
‘Cept some old time recipes
Just say “please”
Row row your boat to my window
Row row to my kitchen door
Row row your boat to my window
Row row to my kitchen door
Row row your boat to my window
Row row to my kitchen door
Row row your boat to my window
Row row to my kitchen door

Tiny Turns
04:05
|

Tiny turns we take
Roadside rules we make
Lying wide awake
Buckle up, honey, it’s a thousand and one miles
You can sleep in the back, it’ll take a while
Checkin’ you out in my rearview mirror
We’re broke as hell but we’ve got style
Hold on, hold on
We’re gonna crash and burn
Tiny turns we take
Roadside rules we make
Lying wide awake
Staggered steps we start
Battered broken heart
Seatbelt, sweetheart, these parts are almost past
Shot-out limit speed signs and shattered glass
From my former rearviewmirror
We’re broken as hell and proud of the fact
Hold on, hold on
We’re gonna crash and burn (hold on)
Waitin’ on the left-hand turn (hold on)
Sweep up the pieces and see what we learned
Tiny turns we take
Roadside rules we make
Lying wide awake
Staggered steps we start
Battered broken heart
Tiny turns we take
Roadside rules we make
Lying wide awake
Tiny turns we take
Roadside rules we make
Lying wide awake

I’m walking backwards in flip-flops
Watching the sun drop, drinking gin
I’m walking backwards in flip-flops
Listening to hip-hop, smiling again
It’s a long beach, full of footprints and dirty shells washed away
My summer feet are broken in kicking your ass out into the street
The sand’s so nice once you get past the flies
And they nip at your ankles and thighs
I’ve got stale cocaine and I’ve still got my name
And a town full of people to meet
I’m walking backwards in flip-flops
Watching the sun drop, drinking gin
I’m walking backwards in flip-flops
Listening to hip-hop, smiling again
Out on the pier, can’t see the other side, waiting on the next hurricane
Standing and dancing and way too high, waiting for someone to crash down on me
The sand’s so nice once you get past the flies
And they nip at your ankles and thighs
Down on my knees with six Long Island Iced Teas
And we all know nothin’s for free
I’m walking backwards in flip-flops
Watching the sun drop, drinking gin
I’m walking backwards in flip-flops
Listening to hip-hop, smiling again
Life was much simpler when the earth was flat
I’m walking backwards in flip-flops
Watching the sun drop, drinking gin
I’m walking backwards in flip-flops
Listening to hip-hop, smiling again
I’m walking backwards in flip-flops
Watching the sun drop, drinking gin
I’m walking backwards in flip-flops
Listening to hip-hop, smiling again

Charlotte

Charlotte stole all the foil from the kitchen
When she stayed for the weekend
She said she was making pastry in the entry
Cooling them by the door
I never met her
Somebody warned me Charlotte could leave any day
Somebody warned me Charlotte could leave any day
Walking through the branches, pushing trilliums away
Sunlight wraps around her shoulder in the foyer
Picking sage for the bread in the garden
Mixing bowl in her hand
I never met her
Somebody warned me Charlotte could leave any day
Somebody warned me Charlotte could leave any day
A dining table, an empty chair
A missing sister, a vacant stare
Somebody warned me Charlotte could leave any day
Somebody warned me Charlotte could leave any day
Somebody warned me Charlotte could leave any day
Somebody warned me Charlotte could leave any day

Mud in the River
04:10

Oh, there’s mud in the river
Mud in the river, mud in the river
Oh, there’s mud in the river
Mud in the riverbed
The miners came in the 1900’s
Dug their caverns, tailed their sluicings
Left their pools high in the mountains
They weren’t ever supposed to overflow
Oh, there’s mud in the river
Mud in the river, mud in the river
Oh, there’s mud in the river
Mud in the riverbed
My mother died when I was twenty
I was twenty, I was twenty
Left me here in the land of plenty
Left me to drown alone
Oh, there’s mud in the river
Mud in the river, mud in the river
Oh, there’s mud in the river
Mud in the riverbed
There’s a funny thing ‘bout snow in the mountains
Snow in the mountains, snow in the mountains
It finds its way down to the flatlands
Down to the valley below
Oh, there’s mud in the river
Mud in the river, mud in the river
Oh, there’s mud in the river
Mud in the riverbed
This river here has flowed forever
Clear blue water, down from the mountain
Now, it’s a different color
It’s gold, gold
Oh, there’s mud in the river
Mud in the river, mud in the river
Oh, there’s mud in the river
Mud in the riverbed
