Wake up in the morning I’m here alone you’re at my place
Come home in the evening nowhere to be found you’ve gone away

What I don’t understand when I’m not around
You’re telling everyone how you’re so let down
You make believe the situation I try to make some sense of it all
You’re never at home

You know I try to understand but I believe the opposite of everything you tell me
I don’t have a reason here
Now why should I believe what I already knows a lie
I know whatever I did wrong I did for you
I did for you

When it comes to conversation
You want no part cause it’s my way
When it comes to condescension
You know that you’re driving me insane

Were you pining for attention? How much did you want?
Were you tryin’ to make me be something I’m not?
You make believe the situation I try to make some sense of it all
You’re never at home

You know I try to understand but I believe the opposite of everything you tell me
I don’t have a reason here
Now why should I believe what I already knows a lie
I know whatever I did wrong I did for you
I did for you

What i said goes in your head goes in one ear and out again
What you said I won’t forget till you regret those things you said
Now i’m gone, gone, gone, gone

You know I try to understand but I believe the opposite of everything you tell me
I don’t have a reason here
Now why should I believe what I already knows a lie
Why should I believe what I already knows a lie
Why should I believe what I already knows a lie
I know whatever I did wrong
I did for you I did for you I did for you

I know whatever I did wrong

Spit fire and save the matches, nova
Spit fire and save the matches, nova
Up in the valley
Down on the hill
Drinking to forget her
But you know you never will
Nova, nova, nova

Driving hard
Driving fast
She Runs like the devil
Build for speed but not to last
Nova, nova, nova

Spit fire and save the matches, nova
Spit fire and save the matches, nova
Over to the city
Sleepy Sunday drive
She got them cruel intentions
and a loaded 45

Driving hard
Driving fast
She runs like the devil
Build for speed but not to last
Nova, nova, nova

Ninety five cents in my pocket again
Driving round town with my new friends.
Couldn’t help but notice
What’s on the radio
Never heard a song and felt so alone
Guess I”m gonna go my third round again
Third time around again and I don’t know this song

You want it you need it
To see your name in lights
This silence it’s killing
It’s time we busted out

Back in the old car
The speaker’s burning
The fire is burning hard again
Torn between two
Times I wonder
How I’ll wander back again

You want it you need it
To see your name in lights
This silence it;s killing
It’s time we busted out

February morning
Teardrops clouding up my view
Arriving five weeks early
Meager tangled up and blue

We’re both the same
We both became
The next one over

Please son do better than I’ve done before you
My road’s bent another way
Please know a better day’s in store for you I know
When you’re a man someday

You seem to find you’re learning
Fumbling the way I do
Tune your ear to wisdom
Turn your heart and follow true

I know you’ll fall
That’s how you know
I’ve been trying

Please son do better than I’ve done before you
My road’s bent another way
Please know a better day’s in store for you I know
When you’re a man someday

I’ve seen you grow
I made you wonder
Please hear the words
They’ll make you stronger

Please son do better than I’ve done before you
My road’s bent another way
Please know a better day’s in store for you I know
When you’re a man someday

Dawn breaks on a day that slips away
You drive off in a haze and all the
Thoughts fade to gray
It’s unfolding all the same
By the choices that you’ve made
But you blame it all on fate

At the slightest touch you turn away
You show your back to those reaching in
You’ve wrapped yourself in barricades
Of course the quiet is deafening

You stand alone in this crowded place
With sadness tinged mask of strength
That’s meant to hide, hide away
The subtle coward too afraid to face
The idle hours of all those days that
You’re content to let drift away

At the slightest touch you turn away
You show your back to those reaching in
You’ve wrapped yourself in barricades
Of course the quiet is deafening
You’ve wrapped yourself in barricades
Of course the quiet is deafening

You don’t know what to say
So you say nothing
The daylight bathes your face
Won’t you feel something
If you turn away you won’t see
That door creep open

Don’t walk away just yet
Don’t walk away this time

Just wait, it’s not easy
Just stay, it’s not over now

Have you been gone so long
You’ve been forgotten?
You’re not the only one
Who’s missing something
Did you think you’d fade away
Like you meant nothing

Don’t walk away just yet
Don’t walk away this time

Just wait, it’s not easy
Just stay, it’s not over now

Some may say we’re better of divided
Some may say we’re already done
I believe there’s reason to be excited
I believe that we will overcome

Cause we’re fighting for the future
And we don’t forget the past
Stronger when w’ere together
We will fight till the last

Someone whispered something from the bible
Someone said a silent solemn prayer
I can feel it pulsing through the water
I can hear it ringing in the air

Fighting for the future
We don’t forget the past
Stronger when we’re together
We will fight till the last

Someone whispered something from the bible
Someone said a silent solemn prayer
Now we feel it pulsing through the water
And now we hear it ringing in the air
Some may say we’re better of divided
Some may say we’re already done
I believe there’s reason to be excited
And I believe that we shall overcome

Fighting for the future
We don’t forget the past
Stronger when we’re together
We will fight till the last

Cracked dirt calls your name
A parched earth cries for rain
Dust swirls around your face
The dry lands stretch far away
Your hands shape lifeless clay
And they say “No, not today”

Clap your hands
Let them fly
From the mud they rise
Clap your hands
Lead us far away

Carve them out, set them free
Exhale rouse them from their sleep
Break them loose from earth’s embrace
Breath out and fill their wings

Clap your hands
Let them fly
From the mud they rise
Clap your hands
Lead us far away

When darkness falls and hope snuffed out
Rend the sky and let the rains pour down
Let the waters all stream out
Wash the dirt away

Clap your hands
Lift me up

Clap your hands
Let them fly
From the mud they rise
Clap your hands
Lead us far away

It’s so good to see you gain
I was wondering where have you been
It’s been too long since we were together now

The time’s flown since I can’t say when
You checked out, found yourself again
But the past never lasts and I’m glad that we’re better now

Oh if you could know what I’ve been doing here on my own
Walking this strange road and now I’m feeling right at home

It’s so good to see my friend
I was wondering what happened to him
I thought I would ask since we’re all better now

I heard that he took off when
You said how much you loved him
It’s just too bad you’re not together now

Oh if you could know what I’ve been doing here on my own
Walking this strange road and now I’m feeling right at home

I’m so glad that we can be friends
So the next time you’re alone here again
I’ll say “There, there, I’m sure it will heal somehow”
I’ll say “So long, but I’m glad that we’re better now”

The last goodbye is looming now
The sun is going down
But we can’t go back again

We try to stave it off somehow
And we’re just stalling now
But we can’t go back again

Now I’m bracing for goodbye
The moon is on the rise
And the tears are in our eyes
Now that we’ve run out of time
You’ll be fondly on my mind
But we can’t go back again

Tomorrow you’ll be moving out
And this is the last round
But we can’t go back again

We talk of nights on the town
And we’re both smiling now
But we can’t go back again

Now I’m bracing for goodbye
The moon is on the rise
And the tears are in our eyes
Now that we’ve run out of time
You’ll be fondly on my mind
Cause you won’t be back again

Now I’m bracing for goodbye
The moon is on the rise
And the tears are in our eyes
Now that we’ve run out of time
You’ll be fondly on my mind
Cause you won’t be back again

A fine day the city hums away
The sounds on the breeze have no trace of you today
I wait in this place
Where you grinned and waved goodbye
Please stay

The echo of your footsteps fades away
And I know that these quiet streets won’t feel your feet again
Without you now I thought I thought this view might change
But even though these clouds roll by the sun sets just the same
You live in me

A fine day
You’re ringing in my head
And I know that I’ll nowhere
Nowhere hear your laugh and nowhere feel your tears again
Let me find you in this place
Please stay

The echo of your footsteps fades away
And I know that these quiet streets won’t feel your feet again
Without you now I thought I thought this view might change
But even though these clouds roll by the sun sets just the same
You live in me

You live in me
You live in me
You live in me

The sun streams through quiet trees
On heavy lids through the green leaves
The wind sighs and the river purrs
On stiffened limbs the sleeper stirs
On a cobwebbed bed in the tranquil glen
He shrugs off sleep and will rise again

He’s wide awake he’s wide awake
Wide awake he’s wide awake

He stumbles through hills at dawn
Towards lost years and friends passed on
The eagle calls in cloudless skies
A king did fall and a father rise
With quickening steps through the path he spies
A New World new through rested eyes

He’s wide awake he’s wide awake
Wide awake he’s wide awake

Hey now I know we just got started
I know you and I just met
They say he left you broken hearted
I’d say the best is to come yet

Do you feel what I’m feeling tonight
Do you believe in love at first sight
The Berkeley lights they shine so bright

You can’t explain away what we do
You kept me up awake until two
If you ever wonder if I want your number
Don’t you know that Jennie I do

Hey now this evening’s getting later
I know you know what’s on my mind
I say we take it even later
I say we take this thing outside

Do you feel what I’m feeling tonight
Do you believe in love at first sight
The Berkeley lights they shine so bright

You can’t explain away what we do
You kept me up awake until two
If you ever wonder if I want your number
Don’t you know that Jennie I do

I do, I do, I do

Don’t you know that Jennie I do

The weight of your hands
The weight that’s pressing down on me
Your silence in my head
I’m drifting this evening
The waves they hammer down on me
But you feel so far away

And if I call out your name
Would you hear and turn your head
Would you just leave me here?

This fire, this fire it burns tonight
If I called out now would I reach the shore?

Could I believe you?
Believe the things I wished you’d say.
Just the voice inside my head
Had hope for the morning
Hope your dawn would break on me
Just to feel it fall away

And if I call out your name
Would you hear and turn your head
Would you just leave me here?

This fire, this fire it burns tonight
If I called out now would I reach the shore?

I press on in darkness
Blindly stumble on my way
And breathe you in the air
Will I ever see you
In the broken light of day
Turn to find you there?

I hear hand grenades and bullets flying
My heart I can feel it slowly dying
For you can you hear the mountains crying
Do ya wanna hey ya wanna hey

Tonight what’s the point in even trying
My heart loves you and theirs no denying
For you can you hear the mountains crying
Do ya wanna hey ya wanna hey

Do ya wanna hey ya wanna
Do ya wanna hey ya wanna
Do ya wanna hey ya wanna hey

Sun dies moon is up and night is falling
You move, hoping I can call you darling
For you, can you hear the mountain calling
Do ya wanna hey ya wanna hey

Hanging around worn beat down
It’s alright
Do ya wanna hey ya wanna hey

Sometimes wonder if you even hear me
Right now happy that you’re even near me
Tonight can you hear the mountain singing
Do ya wanna hey ya wanna hey

Hanging around worn beat down
It’s alright

Do ya wanna hey ya wanna hey

Do ya wanna hey ya wanna
Do ya wanna hey ya wanna
Do ya wanna hey ya wanna hey

You left me long before you were gone
You closed your heart
It was nothing that you said to me
I could see it in your eyes and I

I was holding on to something not worth holding
And I don’t understand why you’d want to leave me again

What’s the point, Allyson?
You threw us away
What’s the point, Allyson?
I won’t stand in your way
Through the years we’ve stood together, but now I’ll stand aside
For you Allyson

You left me drunk again I was so blind

I could barely see
What was right there in front of me.
And then the scales fell from my eyes

I was holding on to something not worth holding
And I don’t understand why you’d want to leave me again

What’s the point, Allyson?
You threw us away
What’s the point, Allyson?
I won’t stand in your way
Through the years we’ve stood together
Now I’ll stand aside
For you Allyson

It’s darkening out and quiet now
The fire is dying down
Echoes of laughter fade
And we sift through
The silent ash beneath our feet
We’re left to wonder how it went so far

Is there light? Is there time?
To set our world to right
It’s late tonight, can we find a way
To make it all alright

Is it too late now for this burned out house
The shattered walls and splinters in our minds
Memories fall to the ground
Should we gather and start again?
Or should we let the embers burn
And let a dead world die?

Is there light? Is there time?
To set our world to right
It’s late tonight, can we find a way
To make it all alright

Is there light?
Is there time?

As I lay here quiet on this fold out couch
I wonder if I’ll ever see her again
She’s the one she made me stunned
She brought me down to earth
And then she knocked me right back up again

I had the most wonderful day
Everything is going my way

‘Cause I love her
But i don’t even know her
I can see her
Wanna remember just a smile
And I need her
To spend the rest of my life with
We’re just five minutes old
But I don’t mind

Still I lay here quiet on this fold out couch
Im wondering if she’s thinking the same
I’d love to stay another day but my plane is going
And I don’t know if she’s headed my way

I’m so glad I can finally say
Everything is going my way

‘Cause I love her
But i don’t even know her
I can see her
Wanna remember just a smile
And I need her
To spend the rest of my life with
We’re just five minutes old
Well our love is five minutes old
Just enough time for the intoxication to take hold

‘Cause I love her
But i don’t even know her
I can see her
Wanna remember just a smile
And I need her
To spend the rest of my life with
We’re just five minutes old
And I don’t mind

It’s been five minutes I’ve been waiting for you
To arise and in your eyes the light is shining through
These things I’m waiting on much bigger than rest
Seize the moment for a while you’ll lay here on my chest

Let’s make this last all day
All tangled up, I will say

Your eyes consume me
Your eyes surround me
Why don’t we stay?
We could play like yesterday

For a while can we go back to the start
Talking low moving slow we’ll move two beating hearts
Toss your hair again moving so close
Say let’s wait for a while let’s put them all on hold

Let’s make this last all day
All tangled up, I will say

Your eyes consume me
Your eyes surround me
Why don’t we stay?
We could play like yesterday

Sets her jaw and pretends as she turns all the lights on
One more moment alone before it all starts again
How much longer until the knock from the doorway
Until it comes and she swallows her hatred again

And she says
And she says

Close your eyes and take a deep breath
Hold on to yourself for one more day
Close your eyes and dream your somewhere
Where the water is warm and the sun’s overhead

The door opens he grins and shows the next caller
Shuffles close flicks his eyes but she won’t look away
She locks eyes and makes sure that he knows it
He’s just another means that she tosses away

And she says
And she says

Close your eyes and take a deep breath
Hold on to yourself for one more day
Close your eyes and dream your somewhere
Where the water is warm and the sun’s overhead

Dawn breaks on a day that slips away
You drive off in a haze and all the
Thoughts fade to gray
It’s unfolding all the same
By the choices that you’ve made
But you blame it all on faith

At the slightest touch you turn away
You show your back to those reaching in
You’ve wrapped yourself in barricades
Of course the quiet is deafening

You stand alone in this crowded place
With sadness tinged mask of strength
That’s meant to hide, hide away
The subtle coward too afraid to face
The idle hours of all those days that
You’re content to let drift away

At the slightest touch you turn away
You show your back to those reaching in
You’ve wrapped yourself in barricades
Of course the quiet is deafening
You’ve wrapped yourself in barricades
Of course the quiet is deafening

Washed away like sands to the oceans
I heard it said but I don’t remember why I came
Here instead
It’s life that picks you up and pulls away again

And I wish that I was there and not so far away
I count the hours till I come home
And you wrap me in your curl
And I’ll feel whole again
I’ll come back
Come back
Home again

Here today and gone by tomorrow
I say a prayer that the two of us will never part
Ways again
And once I’m gone I’ll never leave your side again

And I wish that I was there and not so far away
I count the hours till I come home
And you wrap me in your curl
And I’ll feel whole again
I’ll come back home
Come back home
Come back
I shouldn’t have walked away

She said she wonders what matters now
Still longs for something that’s over now
And she’s wondering where to go
CCR on the stereo

And she don’t have reason to believe
That she won’t be speeding toward relief

Yeah, she don’t run anymore
Now that it’s over now
She don’t run anymore
Now that she’s been and gone
And her head is on the floor

It’s like she’s living in Babylon
Going along just to get along
Undercover there’s something wrong
Now it’s time to be moving on

And she don’t have reason to believe
That she won’t be speeding toward relief

Yeah, she don’t run anymore
Now that it’s over now
She don’t run anymore
Now that she’s been and gone
And her head is on the floor

Can’t afford to buy herself a ride
Gonna keep on pushing across state lines
Move on move up move up roll out
Gonna find it out what it’s all about
Yeah she’s running now

Yeah, she don’t run anymore
Now that it’s over now
She don’t run anymore
Now that she’s been and gone
And her head is on the floor

You don’t know what to say
So you say nothing
The daylight bathes your face
Won’t you feel something
If you turn away you won’t see
That door creep open

Don’t walk away just yet
Don’t walk away this time

Just wait, it’s not easy
Just stay, it’s not over now

Have you been gone so long
You’ve been forgotten?
You’re not the only one
Who’s missing something
Did you think you’d fade away
Like you meant nothing

Don’t walk away just yet
Don’t walk away this time

Just wait, it’s not easy
Just stay, it’s not over now

Ninety five cents in my pocket again
Driving round town with my new friends.
Couldn’t help but notice
What’s on the radio
Never heard a song and felt so alone
Guess I”m gonna go my third round again
Third time around again and I don’t know this song

You want it you need it
To see your name in lights
This silence it’s killing
It’s time we busted out

Back in the old car
The speaker’s burning
The fire is burning hard again
Torn between two
Times I wonder
How I’ll wander back again

You want it you need it
To see your name in lights
This silence it;s killing
It’s time we busted out

Darkness hangs upon the street lights
Blessed sleep alights on all but you tonight
The shadows sting your eyes
You hear the train go by
And why?

The memories start to fade
You start to drift away
But your mind wants to stay
And deeper sinks the blade
Your thoughts they start to race
Your walls start to quake
And you simply lie away
And deeper sinks the blade

How did it get so late?
Trapped with all you’ve known
In this sleeping world alone
Your head aches and turns and spins
You hear the silence ring
Again

The memories start to fade
You start to drift away
But your mind wants to stay
And deeper sinks the blade
Your thoughts they start to race
Your walls start to quake
And you simply lie away
And deeper sinks the blade

How did it get so late?
How did it get so late?
How did it get so late?

Take me away come take me home
Wanna go wanna go wanna go wanna go
I’ve had enough, bring me no more
Take me home

I’m here right now until then
Wanna leave can I leave can it quietly end?
I’m at my limit, leave me alone
Take me home

It’s not my time, oh why
All this time
If I had my way, I’d be with you

It’s not my own to decide
Wanna leave gotta live, find a way to reside
I’m so unsure now, leave alone
Take me home
I’m at my limit, leave me alone
Take me home

It’s not my time, oh why
All this time
If I had my way, I’d be with you

Take me away come take me home
Wanna go wanna go wanna go wanna go
I’ve had enough, bring me no more
Take me home
I’ve had enough, bring me no more
Take me home

The last goodbye is looming now
The sun is going down
But we can’t go back again

We try to stave it off somehow
And we’re just stalling now
But we can’t go back again

Now I’m bracing for goodbye
The moon is on the rise
And the tears are in our eyes
Now that we’ve run out of time
You’ll be fondly on my mind
But we can’t go back again

Tomorrow you’ll be moving out
And this is the last round
But we can’t go back again

We talk of nights on the town
And we’re both smiling now
But we can’t go back again

Now I’m bracing for goodbye
The moon is on the rise
And the tears are in our eyes
Now that we’ve run out of time
You’ll be fondly on my mind
Cause you won’t be back again

The lad reached the river at the height of the flood
He searched for a crossing in vain
When the black steed appeared, a bit in its mouth
And the water dripped from its mane

It beckoned him on with a toss of its heard
And hid its ravenous eyes
He knew not why he climbed on its back
And it ran to the deepening tide

He hollered and he cried
Stuck fast to the demon’s hide
Till the water was up to his eyes

MacGregor was walking and heard the boy call
Too late he arrived on the shore
There was just bits of the lad washed up on the bank
And the water’s deafening roar

MacGregor went down to the river each night
He prayed to protect him from harm
He lay in wait, a cross round his neck
And a dagger tucked under his arm

MacGregor swore revenge
On the demon horse’s head
That it won’t go a-drowning again

One night from behind him he heard a horse neigh
He turned and prepared for his doom
Felt a chill down his spine when he saw the black steed
Trotting out of the gloom

He felt it calling him and he reached out
He took a step toward it in dread
He summoned his will and drew out his knife
Cut the bridle clean off of its head

It bellowed and it cried
And the color went from its hide
And the fury blazed in its eyes

MacGregor swore revenge
On the demon horse’s head
That it won’t go drowning again

He snatched up the bridle and turned on his heels
A voice from behind him did cry
“Return it to me or by my soul
In a day I will wither and die”

MacGregor went running toward his abode
With hoofbeats behind the whole way
He ducked inside while the cross on the door

Kept the foul demon at bay

It hollered and it cried
While MacGregor hid inside
And the next day it withered and died

MacGregor swore revenge
On the demon horse’s head
That it won’t go drowning again

It’s hard to get moving when you don’t know where you’re going
Motivation’s lacking when you’re standing still
I don’t want to find out when you’re out there on the highway
Saying what I want to hear right now, saying what I want to hear

Turn the back seat down
Turn the back seat down
There’s no one around

I don’t remember why you called me in the first place
I don’t remember why I even picked up the phone
Must have known that I would still respect you in the morning
Saying what I want to hear right now, saying what I want to hear

Turn the back seat down
Turn the back seat down
There’s no one around

Heels up on the dashboard as you motion over to me
I pull over and I put my fear on hold
The way your eyes see through me as they shimmer in the moonlight
Saying what I want to hear right now, saying what I want to hear

Turn the back seat down
Turn the back seat down
There’s no one around

Full of love and three foot seven.
The ladies say that I’m the cutest thing my age.
Old guitar and a Donald Duck sweater.
Horned rim glasses and a scarf that’s tailor made

So many times before
I run right through the door

My name is Beemo
My name is Beemo
My name is Beemo
Spickelmeyer

No I’m pushing five foot eleven
The ladies seem to have up and gone away
My momma said I should have known better
Than to play this old guitar in the hopes of getting paid

So many times before
I run right through the door

My name is Beemo
My name is Beemo
My name is Beemo
Spickelmeyer
