baby, now i can tell you my secret don't turn around you might miss it graceful and proud like a sunset baby, i'm scared to let go if you're leaving all that we see is it fleeting? hard to believe it was worth it baby, you took my heart i was sleeping now i don't know what i was missing clouded and vague reminiscing wake up wake up this is only a dream
2.
we can make plans i'll give all i can you were my man on the gulf coast sand you can go to new orleans take the riverfront line but don't leave my mind you can go where each day takes you someplace i can't find but don't leave my mind we can break plans i'll keep all i can you'll be my friend and start over again you can go to new york city get a place on the east side but don't leave my mind you can go where no one knows you where the winter is kind but don't leave my mind you can go where i can't find you there's no space, there's no time but don't leave my mind

In the Fog 03:23
when the hour is late and all is lost to find nothing more than a song can find its way out tonight to find you icy mists like ghosts move along these country roads they part their ways for me as i search for my love for you go now, i tell my song to find you
4.
Larraine 04:28
you grew up in a patch some say that it was cursed you spent your whole life trying to wash away the dirt they said that you were nothing with a rag under your shirt so you tied yourself away with a rag under your shirt oh larraine your daddy loved you wrong while he pointed his gun your mother turned her face being princess of grace oh larraine they left you in the woods to find your way back like a dog you cried in the dark while they drank beers on the lawn oh larraine oh larraine the nightmares wouldn't stop so you drank them to a haze but when you cut the lines they put you away you had a little girl who writes songs about your pain an episode of greys now she's livin in LA oh LA oh LA most of them i never knew and that is just as well even as i cry for you i know they're all in hell oh larraine don't you know it was all for you larraine? everything i did was for you larraine cause what they did to you they did to me
5.
there was wonder beneath the quilted sky did we stand too close to see the seams that night? can we keep it light with constant hints of time creeping in too soon? i've counted 37 signs it's probably just my mind that's what it likes to do were they out there? if i could give this a shot, could you? a safe to place our trust into we were victims of bad, bad timing all these reminders like the pink sun rising can we keep it light with constant hints of time creeping in too soon? i've counted 37 signs it's probably just my mind that's what it likes to do were they out there? if i could give this a shot, could you? a safe to place our trust into because i have been lied to and i've been made a fool but i would give this a shot if you would too
6.
if i could make your heart feel always loved i would give my world up to make you feel always loved if i could make your heart feel always joy i would walk a thousand miles to make you feel always joy if i could make your heart feel always love i would give my whole world up to make you feel always love if i could make your heart
7.
see shiny waves of silver sorrow come tomorrow, i'll be out of here as easy as it came, it's tough to swallow that it's gone feel it sting, a tongue of fire to your heart every turn a try a brand new start see the strangers in a strange way share some of nothing that they ever had crown me queen in the valley of the fire soft desire- drawing down the moon a fool to complain, it won't get better until you surrender all your remaining days feel it sting a tongue of fire to your heart every turn a try a brand new start see the strangers in a strange way share what we do we do the best that we can
8.
i'm a little worried that i killed something inside of me when i let you go days were dark with you in my mind i thought it best to be free but now the birds don't sing and the trees don't speak and i don't see signs in the leaves anymore i'm a little worried that i killed something inside of me when i let you go it's a stranger's eyes that won't meet mine there's nothing there left to divine cause the birds don't sing and the trees don't speak to me and i don't see signs in the leaves anymore i'm a little worried i'm a little worried that i killed something inside of me when i let you go
9.
oh i wanted love and permanence you wanted the night when the stars fell to their death and now i'm in the city where the lights burn so bright that i don't have to see them ever again but i miss them oh it breaks their hearts oh just how far i had to go from this place i came from darkness illuminated what our eyes missed oh terrible love has a way of showing you things so break my heart oh break my heart oh break my heart again....
10.
young girl by your side she asks no questions, so you don't lie how effortless it can be she feels lucky and you are free i shouldn't have loved i shouldn't have loved you that way i shouldn't love i shouldn't love you still i shouldn't have loved i shouldn't have loved you that way now it's been 2 years do they know you... still come here? day gives in to night then guilty morning light you shouldn't have loved you shouldn't have loved me that way you shouldn't love you shouldn't love me still you shouldn't have loved you shouldn't have loved me that way i shouldn't have loved i shouldn't have loved you that way i shouldn't love i shouldn't love you still i shouldn't have loved i shouldn't have loved you that way
11.
this first winter's fire i can't pretend that i didn't know just what you were when you walked into my door these hours that i stare into a land turned red oh i hear that train at night give promises of flight was i lost enough to believe in us? silhouettes dancing ghosts it echoes through my mind falling far behind oh i knew it would end this way but i chose it anyway was i taken up to your empty god? your haunted voice singing ghosts if you think of me sunspotted memory just don't- don't was i lost enough to believe in us? silhouettes dancing was i taken up to your empty god? your haunted voice singing if you think of me, sunspotted memory silhouettes dancing, silhouettes dancing ghosts
12.
sinking eyes, heavy spirit your drifting mind we lament with the passing of time hoping we never show it swallow these words from your mouth i thought i was strong until my strength wore out i was chasing this shadow as if i didn't create it it was long, long, long enough i had lost sight of what it's worth it was long, long, long enough do you want to be named in the end as the hunter or game you hurt or you're hurt, it's the same there's still part of you dying and where have you been? did you look, did you take it all in? are you walking in circles again? like you've lost the horizon it was long, long, long enough i was lost in a flash of light it was long,long, long enough
