This city guards its river with a wall
in hopes that all the wandering hearts won't fall
But a wall will not dissuade them, no,
they'll find another way to make it to the shore
Tonight, right here, I sit pretending not to see
that my heart is sitting at the bar right next to me
Oh, I cannot remember when it was I saw it last,
without a heart to tick, the time slips by so fast
This city tries to keep our hearts out of the river,
it kindly prefers they slowly wither
Well my poor heart is sitting before it's fifth whiskey
and my poor heart is drunker than a heart should ever be
What's worse, I think I know whose on its other side,
I asked him if I'd left it there, I guess he must've lied
I'm beginning to consider it a possibility
that I didn't lose my heart, but it deliberately lost me
You can't talk a heart down from a wall,
No, there's nothing on this earth can save a heart from such a fall
I can't look away even as I feel my hollow shiver,
all I can do is pray that my heart won't make it to the river

My sweet and low down love don't come in no sugar packet,
No, he won't sweeten your tea
My sweet and low down love don't run around town, no
He won't lend his sugar to nobody but me
Ask anyone, they'll tell you, a pair as sweet as we, you never saw
Back when we were together, me and my darling sugar in the raw
A sweeter thing you never saw,
me and my sugar in the raw
I beg you don't despair,
my golden honey bear
My darling sugar pie, I
left down there on that plane earth,
but I didn't choose to leave, you see
Please try to understand, love,
the train that I rode wasn't up to me
I beg of you, don't despair, oh pretty puddle on a spoon
My golden honey bear, please, glisten still under that full moon
My sweet and low down love bears the weight of his long lost sugar,
he won't take no honey in his tea
Now that he's all alone-some,
he won't never love nobody like he loved me
A sweeter thing you never saw,
me and my sugar in the raw
I beg you don't despair,
my golden honey bear
My sweet and low down love, now, I watch over
hoping one day he'll stroll happily
My sweet and low down love, I love you still so,
won't you try to love another like you once loved me

I'm Going to Your House
04:43

I'm going to your house, gonna knock on the door,
I'm going to your house, gonna knock on the door
I know you're in there, why won't you see me anymore?
I call you on the phone, but you ignore each of my calls,
I call you on the phone, but you ignore each of my calls
Why won't you answer, do you not miss me at all?
I'm going to your house, gonna knock on the door,
I'm going to your house, gonna knock on the door
I know you're in there, why won't you see me anymore?
I'm lying in the grass in the graveyard by your house,
I'm lying in the grass in the graveyard by your house
I'm through, I swear, I'm through wasting time waiting for you
I will let the ants crawl all over me,
Oh, I will let the ants crawl all over me
Until they carry me away and there'll be no me left to see
I'm passing by your house, but I won't knock on your door,
I'm passing by your house, but I won't know on your door
You don't have to worry, you won't be seeing me no more

Close to a Ghost
03:07

I came close to a ghost
I lay down beside it
and the wide, open air tightened
I lay my hand on the sweat of his head on my chest
and the minutes, they stretched
The figure in the floral dress,
I feel her standing in the alley way
long after we all swore she'd left
I didn't want to believe what I saw,
they've come to his house to knock down his door
Because for a moment I had him alone,
now they'll shake the world from its core
He put his hands up in front of my eyes
I didn't know what to do, I apologized
He scoffed and took my mouth one last time
Then everything burst into impossibility,
the sky into thunder, the screaming
as she appeared at the window and forced her way in
The fault is the sweet in his scream
I came so close to a ghost
We didn't melt like we do in the memory
We sighed as our hands rose up from our sides

Take This Matter

Take this matter off my mind,
Lord take this matter off of my mind,
Lord take this matter off of my mind
So you don't want me, then you don't want me
and I can't be wasting my time,
Lord take this matter off of my mind
Well I've tried and I've tried
to take this matter off of my mind,
Lord take this matter off of my mind
If I can't have you, then I don't want to,
but I don't want no other kind,
Lord take this matter off of my mind
Take this matter off my mind,
take this blindfold off of my eyes,
Lord take this matter off of my mind

Summer Here
04:34

The sun, the sworn off sun of summer here
hides behind another mood
A tropic darkness settles in
regardless of the moon
I'm not trying to pull anything,
there is no fate that I can fight
And I promise that I will keep still
when I hear it coming from behind
The rain, erratic rain of summer here
relentless, volatile,
doing what it can to scare you off,
make you walk another mile
I'm not trying to pull anything,
there is no fate that I can fight,
but I don't care to keep hidden
what it hides behind
The bud, the blooming bud of summer here
so poisonous a flower,
doing what it can to scare you off,
make you kill another hour
I've resigned myself to anything,
there is no fate that I can fight
Guess I won't go on looking for
what may befall me in the night
Tortured souls, seagulls and summer here
I stay, but at what cost
The city that I call my home
drives me crazy from love loss
I've resigned myself to anything
and I can't be sure it's right
This city that I call my home
turns another face at night
Living, loving leaving summer here,
tried to promise that I'd stay
I'm going now, I don't know how long
but I'll be back again someday

My Undoing
02:27
|
|||
|
Thought I came to it all the wiser,
but I can go a little further
Thought I gave up already,
I'll take it slower
All these reasons to remain
hit me like breezes in the rain
Such gentle prodding
is my undoing
We are hearts away from home,
heads, hollow torsos
Hardly together in the first place,
then torn apart
But soon enough, I will be content
to have conversations on cement
Funny, I thought
this would be easy
If you want me, you know where I'll be,
A stoop this side of Kentucky
On to new things,
if you'll only let me
We are hearts away from home,
heads, hollow torsos
Hardly together in the first place,
then torn apart

I Don't Love You
03:13
|
|||
|
I watched you leave
through my open window
I pulled aside the lace
and it blew out like a candle
You were carried off on a breeze,
you were carried off on a breeze
Gentle love, you could have fooled me
All under a morning sun,
I mistook you for a good one
All in a morning's light
ended that dream of a night
What a fool I was
and leave it up to me
to offer the butcher
a goddamn cup of tea
I don't love you
and you don't love me
I don't love you
and you don't love me
You know which window is mine
You know which window is mine
Won't you come tap on it some time
Because I don't love you
and you don't love me
I don't love you
and you don't love me
