Ash & Coal 04:42
lyrics
I've been asleep a Million years I've been asleep a Million years A Trillion heartbeats a Billion tears missing in the breeze I lit a fire inside my soul I lit a fire inside my soul All that's left is a blackened hole dark as ash & coal Ash and coal, ash and coal Take a look inside it's dark and cold A Million years takes its toll turns you to ash & coal Ash and coal ash and coal Turn back time make me whole There's no replacement for what time stole It's only left ash and coal Ash and coal Ash and coal Ash and coal

Let It Rain 04:38
lyrics
Well pardon me I'm sitting under ashen skies Wondering what the hell is going on I do my best, it's never good enough for her She loves to tell me where I went wrong I got a whole weather system following me It started sunny now it's clouded over Feel like a Hurricane chaser with a storm about to break Or a river running through a town with more than it can take If that river breaks its banks, that river's running fast It's gonna take out everything that's laying in its path If there's a last man standing well it's gonna be me If she's the last woman standing then we'll see Oh let it pour ah let it rain Oh let it pour ah let it rain Let it wash away this feeling Let it wash away this pain Oh let it rain There's snow in the South There's hailstones to the West No way of knowing what's for the best No visibility I can speak of here No shelter to be found either far or near When it comes to love with her it's famine or feast If lightning's striking in the North I'm headed East Cause you can't fight a storm like this with two strong arms All you do is assess the damage in the calm Oh that storm will take it's toll cos that twister's spinning fast It's gonna take out everything that's laying in its path If there's a last man standing well it's gonna be me If she's the last woman standing then we'll see Oh let it pour ah let it rain Oh let it pour ah let it rain Let it wash away this feeling Let it wash away this pain Oh let it rain

Northern Lights 04:58
lyrics
I'm sitting on the edge of panic There's a tremor in my voice There is reason to feel manic And the terror of a choice Don't even try to estimate how hard this is to do Or disregard the sentiment of what I'll say to you I want to see the Northern lights with you Stand under glowing skies to see what you'd do To see that light of love in your eyes And hold you in my arms under Northern skies I'm sitting on the edge of reason Been sitting here a while I been crazy for a season But I made the other side Please don't try to read my mind It's hard enough for ME to do I've been spending all my time Waiting to say this to you I want to see the Northern lights with you Stand under glowing skies to see what you'd do To see that light of love in your eyes And hold you in my arms under Northern skies We're sitting on the edge of time Making history so I've heard There's nothing else half as mystical But I don't have the words I can't even try to explain myself But if I could I'd choose To take you to a mountain-top And share the skies with you I want to see the Northern lights with you Stand under glowing skies to see what you'd do To see that light of love in your eyes And hold you in my arms under Northern skies

A Place Without Love 04:25
lyrics
Go on, say your piece Break another part of me Well go on, like before Break the crockery Slam the door I don't want this, I don't want you Doing the things that you do I won't live in a place that's without love, Well come on, take a shot State your case ready or not Well come on, put me down Take me apart, push me around I don't want this, I don't want you Doing the things that you do I won't live in a place that's without love, I won't live in a place that's without love no I won't live in a place that's without love no I won't live I won't live I won't live I won't live in a place without love So move on, move along Take your leave and be strong There's no way to return A lesson that I've learned I don't want this, I don't want you Doing the things that you do I won't live in a place that's without love,

Sweet Rain 04:48
lyrics
There's a rain falling on a small Honduran town Wide-eyed women peer out between the bar Of a small Cantina painted Orange and Brown Dirtied by fumes of passing cars Children sweep rubbish to the side of the road For a few pesetas from the Gringo who works there They all know tourists will be by in the evenings So they put on their make-up and brush their hair And the sweet rain's falling again Washing away the dusty air That sweet rain falling again on the people living there Here comes 'Martin the cripple' on his skateboard With his stumps newly-bandaged by the Jesuit hospice He sits on the board on the patch he's worked for years Hope in his eyes with each passing Tourist Antonio the Pimp leans against his pick-up truck Crushing his cigarette slowly with his fingers Children play with a punctured football Slowly deflating like an innocence that lingers Well if it isn't Father Stephen, checking out what's going down Pointing out the way to heaven with a smile and then a slight frown There's two women standing talking about Madelaine (The hooker who died just the other day) And their voices sound like two Mandolins fighting As they argue back and forth and slowly drift away.

Sometimes 04:40
lyrics
Time makes it easier they say When someone you love goes away They should try saying that on a day like this It don't get any better When you still miss the sight and the smell and the sound You got that feeling they are still around You see them in the corner of your eye sometimes You get that feeling sometimes Waiting for those knowing looks you hate They're thinking you're not grieving any more Well I won't wear my feelings on my sleeve And they don't understand that I believe You can take the sight and the smell and the sound And that feeling you are still around Everywhere I go Sometimes I feel your smile I have that feeling I have that feeling sometimes I feel it in the family home I see you on my face, feel you in my flesh and bones In these faceless crowds we can be alone I get that feeling I get that feeling sometimes I'm getting on with my life I've got problems I've got strife Oh I could use your help at a time like You taught me how to cope but I still miss The sight and the smell and the sound and the feeling You are still around I see you in the corner of my life sometimes I get that feeling I get that feeling sometimes I feel it in the family home I see you on my face, feel you in my flesh and bones In these faceless crowds we can be alone I get that feeling I get that feeling sometimes

Low Down and Dirty 06:10
lyrics
Every day with my Woman's like a fight in a parking lot Every night is a horizontal battle if you like it or not She's like a WCW wrestler with your head in a full head-lock And one of the days she's gonna kill me if she don't stop I had a full time job at the Penitentiary I met her at a strip joint she made the prisoner of me She's a primal force of nature and like stopping a disease You got to be cruel to be kind at times like these Well she's low down and dirty Yeah she's low down and dirty Yeah she's low down and dirty And that's what's troubling me Yeah she's low down and dirty She's low down and dirty She's low down and dirty And that's what's troubling me She's lacking the social graces guess that's true She never had a chance to attend no finishing school And if you point it out to her she'll break your back in two Cos in her mind she's ten times better than you Well she's low down and dirty She's low down and dirty She's low down and dirty And that's what's troubling me She's low down and dirty She's low down and dirty She's low down and dirty And that's what's troubling me (Hear it from my guitar) I put a ring on her finger just to keep her quiet When she met the folks back home she nearly caused a riot Oh I can't get no peace with her Lord Jesus I'm so tired Won't you make this woman an Angel and ease my mind? That's what I said 'cos she's low down and dirty She's low down and dirty And that's what's troubling me She's low down and dirty She's low down and dirty She's low down and dirty And that's what's troubling me Low down, Low down, low, low, low, low... She's low down and dirty and that's what's troubling me

Kings Of My Lawn 03:33
lyrics
A flutter of wings The feeder swings in and out of green dappled shadow A flash of beak and glint of eye Too fast for mine to follow Oh Eagles have the glory Swans look down with scorn But to my mind your'e beautiful You're the kings of my lawn You're the kings of my lawn If I may explain Some think you plain just a common 'all garden' bird If they took the time they'd realise There's more to you than they have heard Oh the Pigeons have their prizes The Chickens get their corn But when you sing you make me want to sing You're the kings of my lawn The kings of my lawn Uh huh, the kings of my lawn When you spread wing to take flight Your crowning glory sings When the Sun's rays catch you right You're God's finest living things You're the kings of my lawn Uh huh, the kings of my lawn You're the kings of my lawn Uh huh, you're the kings of my lawn
