[Verse 1: Kesha; Both] Downtown tonight, I saw an old friend, someone who I used to take comfort from long before I met you I caught a spark in his eyes of forgotten desire With a word, or a touch, I could've rekindled that fire But old flames can't hold a candle to you No one can light up the night like you do Flickering embers of love I've known one or two But old flames can't hold a candle to you Oh, yeah, ooh But sometimes at night, I think of old lovers I've known And I remember how holding them helped me not feel so alone (Feel so alone) Then I feel you beside me, and even their memories are gone Like stars in the night, lost in the sweet light of dawn Oh, but old flames can't hold a candle to you No one can light up the night like you do Flickerin' embers of love I've known one or two But old flames can't hold a candle to you But old flames can't hold a candle to you Oh, yeah

"These old bones will tell your story These old bones will never lie These old bones will tell you surely What you can't see with your eye These old bones, I shake and rattle These old bones, I toss and roll And it's all in where they scatter Tells you what the future holds" Oh, she lived up on the mountain 11 miles or so from town With a one-eyed cat named Wink A billy goat and a blue tick hound Her graying hair was braided And wrapped around her head And her dress was long and faded And her home a rusty shed In a little pouch of burlap Tied with a piece of twine There were bones all shapes and sizes Gathered through the course of time She'd throw them out before you She swore that she could see The present, past, and future She could read your destiny Everybody knew about her Came to get their fortune read Concerning health and wealth and power Who to love and when to wed "Well, I just like helping people I'm just glad that I could help Well, I know everybody's secrets But I keep it to myself" "These old bones will tell your story These old bones will never lie These old bones will tell you surely What you can't see with your eye These old bones, I shake and rattle These old bones, I toss and roll And it's all in where they scatter Tells you what the future holds" Some called her a witchy woman Some said she was insane Some said she was a prophet Still everybody came "Just because a body's different Well, that don't make them mad Well, they've crucified a many For the special gifts they've had" I had often heard about her Dreamed about her now and then For I, too, was clairvoyant Came about when I was ten I was fascinated with her And the things I'd heard about And I knew some day I'd meet her And one day it came about "Well, I knowed that you's a-comin' I could feel it in my bones These old bones have also told me That I won't be here for long Did you know that you got adopted? Did you know you once't was mine? But the county took you from me Said I wasn't right in mind" "But I just knowed I had to see you 'Fore these bones was laid to rest So I conjured up a message It musta worked, I guess This gift runs in the family I know you also know And I passed this gift on to you These old bones, they're just for show" "These old bones will tell your story These old bones will never lie These old bones will tell you surely How to livin', when you'll die These old bones, I shake and rattle These old bones, I toss and roll And it's all in where they scatter Tells you what the future holds" I held her hand while she was dying And with the funeral through I headed on back up the mountain For Billy, Wink and Blue And that little pouch of burlap With those bones so worn and old She gave me something special Now every time I throw "These old bones will tell your story These old bones will never lie These old bones will tell you surely What you can't see with your eye These old bones, I shake and rattle These old bones, I toss and roll And it's all in where they scatter Tells you what the future holds" "Now I can't tell you what you want to hear (these old bones) I just tell you what I see (these old bones) It's these old bones talking (these old bones) Blame it on them; don't pack it on me (these old bones) It's just like that time that there boy died (these old bones) Up at the sawmill (these old bones) Well, I know'd who done it, but I never said (these old bones) And I know'd when somebody is a cheating (these old bones) Or when somebody's baby was going to be born dead (these old bones) But unless somebody just plain out and asked me (these old bones) Well, I just figured there is no point (these old bones) Going around acting like you know everything (these old bones) Just because you might (these old bones) Ah, you know girl I want you to take these bones (these old bones) Because I don't want no young of mine going around unprepared (these old bones) You just remember that the magic is inside you (these old bones) There ain't no crystal ball" (these old bones)

(Hazel Dickens) Just a few old memories Slipped in through my door Though I thought I had closed it So tightly before I can't understand it Why it should bother my mind For it all belongs to another place and time Just a few old keep-sakes Way back on the shelf No, they don't mean nothin' Well I'm surprised they're still left Just a few old love letters With the edges all brown And an old faded picture I keep turned upside-down Just a few old memories Going way back in time Well I can hardly remember I don't know why I'm cryin' I can't understand it Well I'm surprised myself First thing tomorrow morning I'll clean off that shelf Just a few old keep-sakes Way back on the shelf No, they don't mean nothin' Well I'm surprised that they're left Just a few old love letters With their edges all brown And an old faded picture I keep turned upside-down

Well, I remember when I was just little Mama used to cook on an old black kettle On an old wood stove, she'd had since she was wed Well, the oven door was sprung a little bit So we propped it up with a forked stick But that didn't matter 'cause mama kept us fed My mama and daddy must have loved each other 'Cause I had 11 sisters and brothers And the girls worked just as hard as the boys did There was corn to hoe then we'd go hoe it We might have been poor but we didn't know it We'd heard that word but we didn't know what it meant Oh, we used to have such a good life And the days that I knew then are the happiest I've known And oh, didn't we have such a good time It's sad to think the old black kettle's gone Well, there was nothing that pleased us any better Than when we got an occasional letter From kin folks livin' up north in some big town We'd think of all the games we'd play And we just couldn't hardly wait When our city cousins said they'ze a-comin' down Now mama's done away with the old black kettle She used to cook in when I was just little And the door ain't sprung on her electric range That little farm and home we had It ain't there no more and that's too bad Folks are doin' away with the simple things Oh, we used to have such a good life And the days that I knew then are the happiest I've known Oh, didn't we have such a good time It's sad to think the old black kettle's gone Now, I just mean to say the simple things are gone The old black kettle's gone

I wanted you for life, you and me in the wind I never thought there'd come a time that our story would end It's hard to understand but I guess I'll have to try It's not easy to say goodbye For all the joy we share, all that time we had to spend Now if I had one wish, I'd want forever back again To look into your eyes and hold you when you cry It's not easy to say goodbye I remember all those great time we had So many memories, some good, some bad Yes and through it all, those memories will last forever There's peace in where you are, maybe all I need to know And if I listen to my heart, I'll hear your laughter once more And so I have to say I'm just glad you came my way It's not easy to say goodbye Goodbye

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know Where the tree tops glisten And children listen To hear the sleigh bells in the snow I'm dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white I'm dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white
