Too
Fucking Hip
Lift
me up I been dreaming
Seems it's early for goodbyes
No matter where you're yearning
I'll find the beauty in your replies
Take me sailing
Out on a crystal ship
Somewhere they can't find us
When the world
Gets too fucking hip
For dreaming
I can see you look at me
Please look away
I don't want to break your dreams
And leave you crying
Chorus
Empty days
We meet at night
Up above the wooden stair
I hold you in my arms
With just the sound of your voice
And the smell of your hair

Young
Boy Smoking Marijuana
Well
I'm nearer 40 to 50
At least last that I recall
But the crops been good, the wheat is ripe
And the corn just keeps getting taller
But last night I saw the strangest sight it kept me from my sleep
I saw a young man running naked through the barnyard
Smoking marijuana
It's them young boys
Smoking marijuana
Stealing tractors and tipping cows
It's a national disaster
It's them young boys smoking marijuana
I saw a young man running naked through the barnyard
Smoking marijuana
Well my wife passed away in 83
God rest her soul
And she's waiting for me in heaven
Lord knows that's where I'll go
But what's the use in living if
A man can't sleep at night
I saw a young man running naked through the barnyard
Smoking Marijuana
Chorus
So I waited up one night
And I shot that fellow Dead
Yeah I really lined him up and filled him full of lead
But when I got closer I saw he wasn't naked at all
He was wearing on of them flesh colored spandex suits
With running shoes and all
And in his hands there lay
A Marlborough cigarette
I thought I saw a young man running naked through the barnyard
And I shot him dead
Chrous
So here I sit in my 49th year
Don't really farm too much, no more nope
Now I just drink beer
But every now and then
I think about what a terrible deed I'd done
But at least I know that in hell they won't try to take away my gun
Chorus
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Whiskey
Jacks
If
I had the money
And the wasting of the time
I'd cut my ties
pack my bags and go
These cities and these towns
These villages and hovels
I'd pack my bags and go
They're more'n I can stand
Whiskeyjacks hate smokestacks and I feel about the same
Concrete lies a blanket like the blood lies in my veins
I feel like I'm caught in some
Giant spiders web
It's Shelob's lair but no one cares it's just
Supply in demand
If there was a country where I could rest my weary bones
Find a job without praying to god
Find a wife and find a home
Where the deer aren't scared to drink by the riverside
I'd cut my ties, pack my bags
And sail away
Chorus
Repeat first verse

Johanna
Dreaming.
Dreaming of the day that you get here
Knowing, just how fine that will be
You, you remind me of summer and sunshine
I'm waiting on the day when you're finally here
Like Springtime
Yeah I heard the ice was breaking
Down by the delta where the river meets the sea
You, I haven't seen you in forever
But I remember you so perfectly
So hey sleepyhead,
Why are you sleeping
Don't you know that it's the middle of the day
You, you remind me of summer and sunshine
I'm waiting on the day when you're finally here
Yeah you, I haven't seen you in forever
But I remember you so perfectly
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Worst
five Minutes
This
might be
The worst five minutes
I'll ever know
If you get a hold of it
Don't you let it go
You
There's ballet dancers on the 401
There's bumble bees racing on air filled tires
I forgot how much I loved you
I forgot how much I cared about
You
Don't be far it's not that bad
Wear the hat that makes you happy
You
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sunshine
Sunshine
Won't you come back now you hear
Sunshine
Won't you come back now you hear
Where's a blue sky
To dry my eye
Where's a blue sky
To my eyes
Lonely day
Sit by myself there in the shade
Just a lonely day
It's been a while since I saw your face
Where's a blue sky
To dry your eyes
Where's a blue sky
To dry your eyes
Nah nah nah nah
Sunshine
Sunshine
Sunshine
Sunshine

The
Sun Set Down
The
sun sets down on a crying world
The moon comes up
It's a shiny pearl
The red dress girl sings a beautiful tune
You take the sun I'll keep the moon
You take the sun I'll keep the moon
The radio plays on her birthday
She dreams of a man who once came
And took her tears away
But it's all the same now it's a dying dream
He evaporated just like
Evaporated just like steam
But a swan flies down to her window
He says climb on now it's time to go
And into the night sky they did ride
The two lovers side by side
Two lovers side by side
Around the fire bright they move
They dance in ones and the dance in twos
There's every color and every shade
One for every night and every day
One for every night and every day
They take it all down at break of day
There's nothing left
Not a broken blade
Just an old wizard in the shade
~~~~~~~~~~~~
In
The Light
I
could never marry you
I could not contain your soul
They say the sweetest love
Is when you love in letting go
But the winter wind is nothing to you
The winter cold it melts away
I stared into you and you blinded me with love
In the light
In the windows of the doorways
Of the hallways of the houses
There was never anyone to share
Your secret dream
That's where I found you and you gave me love and wanted nothing
But I will always love you my sweetheart of the sun
In the light
On a street in a city in the middle of the prairies
We held hands there
In the falling snow
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Love
Songs For No One
Love
songs for no one
But everybody wants to own one
To find the beauty that only you could love
Love poems for your heartache
The one that bends but never breaks
To always give but never take
He's the one that loves you
In your eyes a message
It's written out there just for me
Saying kiss me hold me I'm begging you darling please
Because it's cold outside
And the wind is blowing hell into that
Small town down by the oceanside
Musical break
It's one more day now
Before it fades away
And the music recedes back into the cave
Would you take my hand
Girl I know you want it bad
And it just might be the best you ever have
Repeat first verse
Love waits for some boy but he's never coming round
He's seen all the directions
And the way he knows is down, down
Down there underwater where the water fairies go
Like jelly fish we float towards the sun
Your warm heart you're a glimmer in the dark
A light that flickers, showing me the way
From this dark cave
Where the water drips and people stare
I found my way out now I'm on the run
Repeat first verse
