Seems like your heart stops working The minute they close the curtain And take off your mask And take off your costume And if anyone asks you're taking a small break Drinking some coffee But everyone knows what you're doing Seems like the bus moves slower Just cause you got somewhere to go So you take a few pills in Beverly Hills But if anyone asks you've got a prescription You got an addiction Who do you think that you're fooling John Doe, I just want the John I know Once you put the drinks on hold Maybe you could come back home John Doe, ooh oh oh oooh Oooh oh oh ohooh oooh Oooh oh oh ohooh oooh Errybody's addicted to something Errybody gotta grip onto something Even if it's just the feel too responsible to feel maybe once, maybe twice Maybe hundreds of times, hundreds of times Without it, it's just harder to function at times You race to the bottom of every single bottle As if there was someone or something to find You're struggling in your mind And you tell yourself lie after lie 'Til you get to the point where it's no longer private That people that you work with noticed the signs When you walk in the room It gets noticeably quiet So you break up the silence, you say you've been at the gym But the way look, can't blame on the diet So what you hiding? John Doe, I just want the John I know Once you put the drinks on hold Maybe you could come back home John Doe, ooh oh oh oooh Oooh oh oh ohooh oooh Oooh oh oh ohooh oooh Yeah, I've probably had too many things Smashed too many freaks Had too much to drop me Had too much to drink Left the club, ended up in custody Random drug test, passed it luckily My girl broke up wit' me cause she walked in suddenly With a woman up under me I told her "Wait! It ain't what it look like! I must've slip and fell, clumsy me!" Well, at least I admit it, cause the worst you could do Is to do it and not be man enough to say that you did it That's just how you prevent it, well I ain't no different I love all the money, the fame And the parties with beautiful women I spend so much time as an underground artist Cause I was afraid to succumb to the business And what I'd become But that what you'd judge I become The path with the greatest resistance That's how the tables can turn when they pivot And change you perspective and flip your entire position My whole life I've been dying to wish and to live and experience Everything possible When I told 'em my dreams, they just said they ain't logical Now, I can see it - it's optical (optical) John Doe, I just want the John I know Once you put the drinks on hold Maybe you could come back home John Doe, ooh oh oh oooh Oooh oh oh ohooh oooh Oooh oh oh ohooh oooh

Black faces pressed against the glass Where rain has pressed it's weight Wind blown scarves in top down cars All share one western trait Sadness leaks through tear-stained cheeks From winos to dime-store Jews Probably don't know they give me These late John Garfield blues Midnight fell on Franklin Street And the lamppost bulbs were broke For the life of me, I could not see But I heard a brand new joke Two men were standing upon a bridge One jumped and screamed you lose And just left the odd man holding Those late John Garfield blues An old man sleeps with his conscience at night Young kids sleep with their dreams While the mentally ill sit perfectly still And live through life's in-betweens I'm going away to the last resort In a week or two, real soon Where the fish don't bite but once a night By the cold light of the moon The horses scream the nightmares dream And the dead men all wear shoes 'Cause everybody's dancin' Those late John Garfield blues

May the Lord show His mercy upon you; May the light of His presence be your guide: May He guard you and uphold you; May His spirit be ever by your side. When you sleep, may His angels watch over you; When you wake, may He fill you with His grace. May you love Him and serve Him all your days, Then in heaven may you see His face.

One, two When he was young you'd not find him doing well in school His mind would turn unto the waters Always the focus of adolescent ridicule He has no time for farmer's daughters Alienated from the clique society A lonely boy finds peace in fishing His mother says, "John, this is not the way life's supposed to be Don't you see the life that you are missing?" And he says "When I grow up I want to be One of the harvesters of the sea I think before my days are done I want to be a fisherman" Now years gone by, we find the man who rules the sea He sets out on a dark May morning To bring his catch back to this small community He doesn't see the danger dawning Four hours up, oh, the ocean swelled and swelled The fog rolled in, it started raining The starboard bow, oh my God, we're going down They do not hear his frantic mayday As he says "When I grow up I want to be One of the harvesters of the sea I think before my days are done I want to be a fisherman" "I'll live and die a fisherman" Call him John the fisherman Call him John the fisherman We call him John the fisherman

This song was first released on the some days are diamonds album. it is the only album it has been released on. In the airport lounge she sat in a marlena dietrich hat The grandest lady i had ever seen Outside the heavy rains had grounded all the planes So i asked her if she'd like some company In my rhinestone studded suit, my cowboy hat and boots I must have been a sight for her to see But she said, "pull up a chair," as she fumbled with her hair A more unlikely pair you'll never see I was mogen david wine, she was chablis fifty-nine But there we sat, the cowboy and the lady She was evenings at the opera and summers in paree I was grand ole opry, nashville, tennessee The cowboy and the lady As diff'rent as could be But it seemed so right that rainy night In tennessee Then somewhere in between her harey's bristol creme And the seven beers i ordered for the lady We somehow came together for a night of stormy weather Now there's a bit of class in this old cowboy And there's a little bit of cowboy in the lady The cowboy and the lady As diff'rent as could be But it seemed so right that rainy night In tennessee We somehow came together for a night of stormy weather Now there's a bit of class in this old cowboy And there's a little bit of cowboy in the lady Words and music by bobby boldsboro

When the mountain touches the valley All the clouds are taught to fly As our souls will leave this land most peacefully Though our minds be filled with questions In our hearts, we'll understand When the river meets the sea Like a flower that has blossomed In dry and barren sand We are born and born again most gracefully Plus the winds of time will take us With a sure and steady hand When the river meets the sea Patience, my brothers and patience, my son In that sweet and final hour Truth and justice will be done Like a baby when it is sleeping In its loving mother's arms What a newborn baby dreams, is a mystery But his life will find a purpose And in time, he'll understand When the river meets the sea When the river meets the almighty sea

I am the eagle, I live in high country In rocky cathedrals that reach to the sky I am the hawk and there's blood on my feathers But time is still turning they soon will be dry And all of those who see me, all who believe in me Share in the freedom I feel when I fly Come dance with the west wind and touch on the mountain tops Sail o'er the canyons and up to the stars And reach for the heavens and hope for the future And all that we can be and not what we are
