I watched from my window As she slipped from the house Once again she's leaving But Lord, she's not to blame This morning a memory phoned her And he's a habit she can't break So 'til she returns I'll wait for her Lookin' out my window Through the pain The devil drove the taxi That carried her away And it hurts to know she's hung up on Some guy from yesterday Once again she's chasing memories And I'm losing everything But I love her So I'll wait for her Lookin' out my window Through the pain I'll pick up the pieces When he lets her down again With love and understanding I'll give her reasons this time to stay And I'll close my eyes pretending Maybe someday she will change Then I won't be left lonely Looking out my window Through the pain Yes, the devil drove the taxi That carried her away And it hurts to know she's still hung up on Some guy from yesterday Once again she's chasing memories And I'm losing everything But Lord, I love her So I'll wait for her Looking out my window Through the pain

(Now people you know who I am, And you know what I can do, But I got a problem now and I'm gonna tell you about it, I'm looking for this woman, y'see, Listen, this is the way the story goes) Looking out my window Looking at the rain Nothing left but pain Why'd you go and leave me Sad alone and blue Looking out my window woman Tryin' to find you Why did you leave me?

I'd like to tell you about This little girl that left Me so alone and blue The trouble is if I paint the Picture too well you Might fall in love with her too She was about 5'6 A little bag of tricks My mama told me to watch myself but I didn't listen Because for you baby I'd scratch out my eye Looking out my window Down the railroad track Waiting for that little brown eyed girl She's coming back I gotta hear that whistle blowing Down the line Come back girl She'll be mine, oh mine Why did you leave me? Why did you grieve me? Woah Baby come on home I'm so alone Y'know I don't care what the world might say I'm gonna love you Oh baby I'm down on my knees And I'm beggin' you please Ah Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, I love you, I love you Come on home, come on home baby, come on home baby, come on home baby, to me.

Your shoes are in the living room And the keys are in the cellar The note's right where you left it And I guess I don't care Your mother keeps on prying But I don't think that I'll tell her Besides, you lied, I don't even know where you are And I'm flying up and off the handle But flying all the same Flying up and off the handle But flying all the same, mmm I think about your empty house And I think about your girlhood I think about you thinking of me That watery stare Well I just think and I think, think, think And I wonder if it'll do good Miscommunicating into thin air And I'm flying up and off the handle But flying all the same Flying up and off the handle But flying all the same Ohhh I, I, I, I, I, I I gotta be, gotta be, gotta be crazy I, I, I, I, I, I Shoulda been holding my tongue I, I, I, I, I, I I gotta be, gotta be, gotta be crazy I, I, I, I, I, I Shoulda been holding my tongue Oh-oh, oh-oh Oh-oh, oh-oh Oh-oh, oh-oh Oh-oh, oh-oh Oh-oh, oh-oh Oh-oh, oh-oh oh Well I dreamed, I dreamed, I dreamed, I dreamed I was choking on feathers Flowers of the bone Flowers of the bone And I swallowed 'em, swallowed 'em Down, down And my body got lighter And now I cannot sink, I cannot go home And I'm flying up and off the handle But flying all the same Flying up and off the handle But flying all the same Ohhh I, I, I, I, I, I I gotta be, gotta be, gotta be crazy I, I, I, I, I, I Shoulda been holding my tongue I, I, I, I, I, I I gotta be, gotta be, gotta be crazy I, I, I, I, I, I Shoulda been holding my tongue Oh-oh, oh-oh Oh-oh, oh-oh Oh-oh, oh-oh Oh-oh, oh-oh Oh-oh, oh-oh Oh-oh, oh-oh Oh-oh, oh-oh ohhh

Some kind of lover Some kind of bug in my mind Chewing up my conscience Spit out the seed and swallowed my pride I'm trailing blood I'm trailing blood from my hands A lit firecracker Between my lips, I'm a modern man At the edge of the wheel That'll never stop turning Spun away from the middle I've come alive, come alive I'll forget this fever I'll forget crawling back to your palm To feed off of your meaning 'Cause I know, I know, I know that it's gone I'm at the edge of the wheel That'll never stop turning Spun away from the middle I've come alive, come alive Your lip's got a quiver Telling me there's something wrong Oh-ooo-oh, oh-ooo-oh, oh-ooo-oh And my brain just got a shiver You gotta tell me if there's something wrong Oh-ooo-oh, oh-ooo-oh, ohhh-ooo-oh-oh-oh Goddamn the youth And goddamn this good excuse To curse through my teeth and lie And let my tongue tie a noose I don't need your pity And I don't need your warning I don't care if you hear me I've come alive, come alive At the edge of the wheel That'll never stop turning Spun away from the middle I've come alive, come alive

We drove there on the thirty-first And waited for the worst From underneath the bridge Crybaby bridge, crybaby bridge I was looking at her But she was looking away And her eyes swept the shadows From sea to shining sea We turned our engines off and stared In silence and in darkness On the bridge, crybaby bridge And did I hear a cry below? No one will wonder, and no one will know Did you crawl out the window? Well isn't that the saddest way to go? The river spoke quietly And wandered towards the sea And left the bridge to rust With tiny handprints in the dust I was looking at her But there was nothing to say And our hearts kept beating We knew we'd find an end But still it felt like forever Waiting there together on the bridge Crybaby bridge And did I hear a cry below? No one will wonder, and no one will know Did you crawl out the window? Well isn't that the saddest way to go? Ooh, oo-ooh, oooh Ooh, oo-ooh Ooh, oo-ooh, oooh Ooh, oo-ooh Mothers, we're coming home We're coming home to find you Fathers, don't turn your eyes away There's a new fire burning There's help on the way There's a face in the water: Do you recognize your son? Do you recognize your daughter? And do you hear a cry below? No one will wonder, and no one will know Did you crawl out the window? Isn't that the saddest way to go? Isn't that the saddest way to go? Isn't that the saddest way to go? Ooh, oo-ooh, oooh Ooh, oo-ooh Ooh, oo-ooh, oooh Ooh, oo-ooh, ooh

And he's a doctor And he's a doctor, my lord good day Heavy and empty Heavy and empty Heavy and empty Hearts on fire and heads to sleep And lovers on their hands and knees Be careful love can Be careful love can come And love can go to hell And it's a problem And it's a problem, oh well Heavy and empty Heavy and empty Heavy and empty Hearts on fire and heads to sleep And lovers on their hands and knees And now you and I And now you and I are out of love And I am born again Tonight I'm born again Heavy and empty Heavy and empty Heavy and empty Hearts on fire and heads to sleep And lovers on their hands and knees Hearts on fire and heads to sleep And lovers on their hands and knees

These eleven days of summer I have called you You always come when I call you But I don't hear your feet We swallowed up the river But still we never found you The season came and it drowned you In sorrow and in heat Oh, what's happening? Call it the nation's Call it the nation's war Oh, it's happening This morning we woke up This morning we woke up old Mmmhmmm I could feel your breathing Your healing heart was beating But now my head is beating Like the clapper of a bell The fireworks are funny The duds fall in the water Fizzling like futures The hissing sound of hell Oh, what's happening? Call it the nation's Call it the nation's war Oh, it's happening This morning we woke up This morning we woke up old Mmmhmmm From here the days get shorter Tireless, but older Come on, let's get older And keep our hands held down From here the days get shorter Tireless, but older Come on, let's get older And keep our hands held down From here the days get shorter Tireless, but older Come on, let's get older And keep our hands held down Oh, what's happening? Call it the nation's Call it the nation's war Oh, it's happening This morning we woke up This morning we woke up old Mmmhmmm

Take my body 'cross the ocean Let the world turn below Take me only where I'm going Don't you worry about my soul Just get me there is all I'm asking Back to the place where I was born Where all we learned about compassion We had to make up all on our own Is this a lifetime? No less, no less, no more Between the bright lines Oh no, oh no Is this a lifetime? Say yes, say yes or no Between the bright lines What am I fighting for? Who owns the land that holds my headstone? Who is the girl that loves him so? Who holds the hand that holds the weapon We should have buried long ago? Is this a lifetime? No less, no less, no more Between the bright lines Oh no, oh no Is this a lifetime? Say yes, say yes or no Between the bright lines What am I fighting for? Is this a lifetime Between the bright lines? Is this a lifetime Between the bright lines? What am I fighting for? Is this a lifetime Between the bright lines? Is this a lifetime Between the bright lines? What am I fighting for?
