I hope it wont take long for you to get to me Been waiting for so long, and I'm thinking it's not meant to be I can't wait to see your flowing long brown hair Ooh, let's meet on the lake shore I'm not sure that if i'll ever get to see your face Been waiting for your letters and they still haven't ever came You keep telling me that I really should be sad But I know, we'll meet on the lake shore There's not much for me to do I probably wont be able to see you I'll probably have to wait a long old time Until I get back my peace of mind It's now getting late on this old gravel shore See the sun getting tired while it still screams out for more At least someday we'll meet on the skyward train line But for now, let's meet on the lake shore Let's meet on the lake shore Let's meet on the lake shore

Are you lonesome tonight? Do you miss me I say? Are you sorry we drifted apart? Does your memories cling to that bright summer day When I kissed you and called you sweetheart? Like the rose on the vine I am clinging to you As I did when we drifted apart I am wishing you back to that little shack Where I kissed you and called you sweetheart Does the chair in your parlor seem empty and bare? Do you miss me and wish I was there? Is your heart filled with pain? Shall I come back again? Tell me, darling, are you lonesome tonight? I have counted the days, I've counted the nights I've counted the months and the years I have counted on you since we drifted apart Tell me, darling, are you lonesome tonight?

I wish that evening sun was rising I wish that evening sun was rising It's been a damn hard year but I'll be safe when it's here I wish that evening sun was rising I hope that you're coming through my door I hope that your love's coming even more That big big fire in the sky It's so hot I'm thinking I'll die I hope that evening sun was rising I wish that evening sun was rising That star up in the blue dark sky It is lord of all that it sees Over the spirit and heart of the sea I wish that evening sun was rising

When I leave her tonight I'll take the train to the bay I won't shed a tear Break her heart for years When I leave her tonight I don't no remorse If I stay things just will get worse Don't come knocking my door Won't be home no more After I leave her tonight When I see her tonight Tell her everything is just fine Look straight past her My mind has gone so far I'll leave without her goodbyes Not much left for me now Tried everything I could do Hear her voice one last time Already made up my mind That I'll leave her tonight

Wheaton Town 02:00
Meet me down where the road bends Where the wind hits heavy and the streetcars end Our packs are heavy We walk so slow Miss my baby Miss my soul Meet me down in Wheaton town Where the snow covers everything around I need someone to stand my ground I need somebody

Not space left in my mind My feelings so hard to confine Been drinking nearly all day Drinking from these pools of decay Nothing from their voice will relent The static of their words filling me Anything that ever will be Will crush me like the weight of the sea These walls here are so thin It's judgement passing right through my skin The noise from the hall Tell me there's no hope here at all Stuck here in the staticity It's buildings crowding me I wish you lived her with me

Moviola 03:08
Moviola running through my head Motion pictures of things I've said Spread your pictures out on the floor Reel to reel running through my mind Everything I've ever said's a lie Slept well in your grave last night Still seemed very much alive Moviola running through my head Tired of everything I've ever said Spread your pictures out on the floor See a side I've never seen before

I wish there was some poison in the well I wish there was some poison in the well It'd sure be a change of pace And I'd force the hand of grace I wish there was some poison in the well I wish I could see His holy tomb I wish I could see His holy tomb I'm sure that he's not there And my soul would not care If I could not see His holy tomb I've heard a thousand times the shots ring out I've heard a thousand times the shots ring out All the president's tears Are just a battle cry I've heard a thousand times the shots ring out I wish I could change from the ways I've been I wish I could change my ways but I'll always sin I'm sorry for what I do And I hope it dont bother you Knowing that I'll probably just sin again I wish I was on the next train to you I wish I was on that next train to you I feel it in my heart That we won't always be apart I wish I was on that next train to you I'm hoping that I am freedom bound I'm hoping that I am freedom bound I'll keep breaking these rocks 'Till on heaven's gate I knock I hope that I am freedom bound Down that old river I'd love to roll Down that old rive I'd llove to roll Rather roll than be stuck Here by the Devil's snow Down that old river I'd love to roll
9.
There's not much left for you today There's not much left for me to say And I can't keep from crying Knowing that you're done I hope that you survive I heard that you're doing just fine Living day to day just getting by And I can't keep from crying I hope that you don't mind I'm sure that you'll survive

Prixesque 01:36
I wish I was a giant cloud I don't know why I'd float across the sky I wear my feet across this land Until I die My feet know no command The builder skews my view of you I don't know why I wish I could cry for you The birds they fly across my eye I don't know why I cannot fly to you The trees they grow outside your room I wish that I Could grow right where they do Late at night you lay you down I wish that I Could lay right next to you Before bed you say your prayer And I wish I Could say them just like you
11.
These leaves of grass Are tangled around my knees The warm wind blows Through the tall of the trees I'm wishing I'm wishing I can be that free I''m finding you here Through the rough of the waves It sure isn't fair How your stare saturates I'm finding I'm finding I may be that free The planets align To give you sight through the stars Oh, how can't you see Everything's wrong with me But, you can But, you can See me so free My Georgian love Sweep the dust off my hands Sleep me through the shade Take me from this land Oh, you make Oh, you make Me feel so free.
