Feet hit the ground, she kissed my cheek
And said I love you baby
Upon the street, she grabbed my hip
Her heart, I say, she gave me
She smiled sweet and whispered soft
Into my open ear
I nearly wept, her words so warm
Said this will be our year
Agnes, hold soft and clear
Shine your love, lift fog of fear
Blanket of snow clung to the ground
So white and bright and blinding
Walked to the river where the water's
Holy, frozen, winding
She took my hat and pursed her lips
Said I'll care for you darlin'
And if the sun don't rise
Well, I'll shine for you in the mornin'
Agnes, hold soft and clear
Shine your love, lift fog of fear
And if the sun don't rise at mornin'
Shine for me beloved darlin'
When I awoke she held me close
And said I'll never let go
She smiled sweet, I realized
That I was already home
And as it rose the sun it smiled
For we were young and hungry
I prayed to summer for to thank her
For the love she gave me

Shine for You

She said if you don't know
Well, that's alright I do
All my loving I'm gonna
Give to you
And if the sun don't come out in the mornin'
I'll shine for you
Yeah, if the sun don't come out in the mornin'
I'll shine for you, baby, I'll shine for you
She said my Jackie Boy
Ever you're gone
You drink your whiskey
When your day is done
And if the sun don't come out in the mornin'
I'll shine for you
Yeah, if the sun don't come out in the mornin'
I'll shine for you, baby, I'll shine for you

Hold on Me
01:54
|

|
When I was born I was striking steel
Fire in the gutter and dogs at my heels
The sky cried, but I smiled away
Grab a hold on my, grab a hold on me
And baby, we'll set free
I saw you dancing with the messenger's son
I fell to ashes baby, you were the one
You say you found me, and I smile away
You grab a hold on me, you grab a hold on me
Baby, we'll set free
With the trade winds, we'll fly on
I'll be the wings and baby, you be the sun
You'll hold me, and I'll smile away
Grab a hold on me, grab a hold on me
And baby, we'll set free

Dear Heart
02:46
|
|||
|
You came to my door
In form of a dove
You cried on my floor
I gave you no love
But oh, my dear heart
Don't cry for me
I won't die
For thee
You rode off in white
Stolen heart in hand
On blizzardy night
You loved the man
But oh, my dear heart
I wait to see
The cold night
Of thee
I found you down
In unbound, snow-clouded dream
You tried to flee
You flashed your teeth at me
Malevolent thought
An absentee heart
I thrashed and I fought
The pain in the dark
But oh, Gypsy Heart
Come home in me
I will die
With thee

A Greyhound Bus
To the Great Northwoods
Of Michigan
At a BP Stop
On a long stretched road
She loved him again
He pulled his hat
Over his eyes
A choked throat to say
I'll see you light
In the city sky
If I go back that way
In a cool deep lake
With his mind still tied
Jack he did think
If I had that love
And the pretty one
I'd surely sink
He dove down deep
Where the water's cold
There he found her heart
But mistook here eyes
For the sudden rise
Of the cold and dark
Oh, heart wept for time gone
He cried, oh, you got your love wrong
Jack he let fly
A heaving sigh
Half his teeth hid
Birthed a dream
From the milk and cream
Of a midwest kid
A rose in hand
And a golden band
Around a skinny wrist
Diamond eyed
At the womanside
All the things he'd miss
Oh, heart wept for time gone
He cried oh, you got your love wrong

Cannot Hold
04:32
|

|
Lord, get thee to a nunnery
Oh, feel your love I cannot hold
Things I wanna say
But the words that I play with
They've all grown so cold
By the banks and dressed in flowers
Your heart so young and tenderly
Said baby, I could hold you
Lord, I could shine for you
So young and free
In crowded towns, I tried to love you
Oh, feel your love I cannot hold
The streets and the light dear
Became my nightmare
In love, I grew cold
And as we slept my heart grew heavy
The things I could not ever say
The words that I play with
The all grew sedated
My heart could not stay
But I'll be there Dear Agnes
In the river cold
Crowned in crimson roses
Never to see the age of old
And in the night I had decided
For my own love, lord, I must flee
For love and for roses
I took the road
Lord, set you free
In lonesome seas I slew my demons
Oh, feel your love revealed itself
I took to the dark
I removed my heart
Lord, cried for help
Well, I'll be there Dear Agnes
In the river cold
Crowned in crimson roses
Never to see the age of old

Lover's Lashes
03:16
|
|||
|
Before my love, I fell to flames
My lives became my ashes
And all my gilded thoughts did rust
I wept in my lover's lashes
My best armor fled to tell me true
My battles were unspoken
My lover cried in sobs and sighs
I lay bare and broken
A demon in the paint of God
I stood before unable
I left my heart upon the plate
At love's long banquet table
For beauty I forsook my eyes
They burned and cursed my body
But for my love, I cast me out
The light would never hold me
I took to seas of solitude
For my love I could not ask
Redemption save for tombs and graves
I unfit for the task
For Cinderellas and for slaves
I tried to save my Agnes
But in my plight, too hard did fight
Now I lay my love to rest

Damned if You Do(n't)
04:56

Damned if you do, damned if you don't
She said Jackie Boy don't go
But he set fire to everything she loved
Damned if you do, damned if you don't
Damned if you do, damned if you don't
Jack, he's long lost, lying alone
More lovely times than you'll ever know
Damned if you do, damned if you don't
It takes more than love, not to be alone
Damned if you do, damned if you don't
Damned if you do, damned if you don't
Angry sky, land you don't know
Jack his heart, frozen in stone
Man made to love and be alone

Thousand Years
06:58
|
|||
|
For roses, I saw your eyes
Red sundress and fox-mouth smile
You took my hat and said
Thousand Years and kissed my head
Clouds, the sun did paint
Glass to hide your perfect shape
In rain, the night did come
We to be our sacred one
In health, we rushed the dune
Lonely May bore Lovely June
We swam from sandy beach
Out to where the sky does reach
You crossed to fill my glass
Perfect in your every pass
Clear and cool you poured
Like in Eden lives before
I love you in that sundress
Tucked into my hollow chest
Forever in our hour
A thousand years kept away as ours
We held our hearts to flame
Melt away our frozen shame
But doom, we found the way
Light to lead we fools astray
Gone, forever now
Fell from you and casted out
Loss, the hardest part
But I'll keep your roses in my heart
