Most of the time when I get off the train no one waiting with a raincoat in the rain the whole society burns into me I wanna stand but I hit my stride I wanna parade but I got my pride Counsel away, overtaking all the day and all the while hidden in the darkest, deepest well of the inside the destination, to stand aside What if days go by, what if days roll by like trains What’s it take to rise, rise and field the threats again, again Most of the time when I get out of the way talkin', no one listening to me (rolling out the archives, rolling through the heartlands) I won't go into the distances though There’s parts of the world that I would rather Be at in a way, come sail away across the scene to the beat the spread, the great divide, when against the darkening sprawl of the city you either fade or try What if days go by, what if days roll by like trains? What’s it take to rise, rise and field the threats again? What if days go by, what if days roll by like trains? What’s it take to rise, rise and field the threats again And grin a silly grin, and be up? Most of the time when I get over the hills and into over the valleys I see a long climb awaits, it all in front of me I won't go into the distances though as there's parts in the world I'd rather be at in a way it's time you said to take your alter-ego navigator's side What if days go by, what if days roll by like trains? What’s it take to rise, rise and field the threats again? What if days go by, what if days roll by like trains? What’s it take to rise, rise and field the threats again when everything seems to be seriously off

Debonair 02:52
Hey you kids behave yourselves it's time you were headed out because it's late and it's a Friday can't be hanging around the house caught between the strangers and the one you can't forget when you're haunted and impatient and just want the here and now there was always something stirring, there was always something there when you walked around the corner, that was very debonair and she the very circumspect and spitting image of the consummate damsel everybody's faithful til the journey's started out but then the hustlers are hustlers and there's mindlessness about somehow still are hanging round the one who let you down who says I'll always entertain you, I won't ever let you down there was always something stirring, there was always something there when you walked around the corner, that was very debonair. If I could be so forward as to steal a turn on the dance floor and perhaps un peu apres un parler avec la petite mademoiselle? start out hesitating, then you wind up on the fence start to question your intentions and the chance of blending in the moon and stars above you as the pause before to call between the waiting at half-dinner and the irony of it all there was always something stirring, there was always something there when you walked around the corner, that was very debonair, and she reportedly was into it as well as was mirrored with great evidence in the eyes of the consummate damsel. there was always something stirring, there was something there when you walked around the corner, that was very debonair. A point of honor to stick around and see who it was would be hoodwinked and who would prevail in this midwinter's tale.

We didn't take Fort Everett it wasn't meant to be had true were the men but few were left behind I held my rifle eyed their heads, I told the sergeant the entire brigade should recede—“denied” and I can tell you honestly yes I can tell you all that they were evil those eyes we seen Lincoln raised their levies we responded in kind we held the fields the cowards were then on the sides and there were wild men hounding us those were our very hides they were after even stakes And our pulses rose, we marched at the hill and they had at us, oh it was all we could do to hold the line under Shenandoah skies and we had to, our drill, and never once thought as the mortars fell we were equal, the same, our martyrs we didn't take Fort Everett whatever could that mean? We rushed the hill and they wore out and tore out our drive because we were taught to held to our drill heeded the corporals heeded the sergeants and were even slaves because we were taught to held to our drill did what a regular ought to do and we did the deedfor the stars and bars

I’ll adore you on a mountain morning When the dew comes fresh, and the spring runs cold and I’m gonna walk you through the hard-luck story Drug my feet up and down the world Always a mountain, over the horizon Where there’s a mountain, there I must Always a mountain, calls it to me Destination, meadow bluffs Fairly often, I tried to love my neighbour Tried to lend the party line to call Miner’s daughter, cross the cold, clear water Lugged my anchor round the world thought I told you not to worry about things you can't control It's a long while since the valley where we all slept in the fold All the azaleas, how I love the morning In the place that I was born Comes the thaw now, comes joe pieweed All the acorns, all the thorns Fairly often, I tried to love my neighbour, lend the party line to call a miner's daughter cross the cold clear water lugged my anchor in my hold If I don’t make it back to the county, to the place that I was born miner's daughter cross the cold clear water mountain neighbours sing me home

Mercys Girl 04:32
Mercy’s girl with the stone's throw eyes Whenever justice go her hands are tied but we collided all these years against the tirade of our fears left in arrears and woe betide watch a man roll down the waterfall putting your faith in the arms of the law she's the one wanna right me and It was all a show trial from the very beginning Mercy's girl with the awestruck face whenever justice come she know her place I guess one day the last straw broke and in some way the ax just dropped the waterclock and woe besides Watch a man roll down the waterfall Putting your faith in the source of all She’s the one gonna right the wind It was all a show trial from the very beginning watch a man roll watch a man roll justice's wheel with the worn out spokes got a laugh from a lot of folks still you pray that it's all not to waste, you're not the wheat you're just the chafe watch a man roll watch a man roll in a hotel city with the motel radiator going

Oh come on Sally Anne, you’re putting on quite a show You think things fast then you take them slow I know it’s been a few years but I… am still your friend I have seen things disappear upon the summer wind There were times that I tuned out and I'm sorry I did things we let be in doubt ought to never have hid it has been a long, hard day, don’t know where I’ve been But I pray these feet’ll find the way before the daylight ends Once were in a hurry but then we hit the skids I guess there's some onery ruts for the country kids I can tear your heart away, it can leave you thin I have seen you turn away, whenever daylight ends the many places that I've been, they're still on my mind many footsteps, sped the way, there’s a new shore to find many times I have meant to say what it means to‘ve been about a million miles away whenever daylight ends now the misty river's hushed And the wind besides Many things I’ve lived without ought to never have tried Let the road run 'fore us now, you’ll be on my mind when the rain creeps up that way, just from time to time it's those times when thoughts replay, all that might have been I have seen it hard to fade, whenever daylight ends So come on now Sally May, I’ll take you for a show We’re going out on that beach hill where all the green grass grows Gonna watch that last long ray where the horizon begins I will see you there someday, wherever daylight ends
