Guess who died,
last night
In grey stockings,
in all might
It was no loss
The only God of mine
He fell down,
just to drown
In a sea
of delight
To tame champagne
And creatures of the night
As the water,
took him over
Filled his lungs,
inside out
I sold his gold
For flowers and rice
Speaking fire,
he would hire
Pawns and peasants
just like me
To feed upon the conquered ones
But now we are free
Down by the river by the boats
Where everybody goes to be alone
Where you won't see any rising sun
Down to the river we will run
When by the water we drink to the dregs
Look at the stones on the river bed
I can tell from your eyes
You've never been by the riverside
Down by the water the riverbed
Somebody calls you somebody says
Swim with the current and float away
Down by the river everyday
Oh my God I see how everything is torn in the river deep
And I don't know why I go the way
Down by the riverside
When that old river runs pass your eyes
To wash off the dirt on the riverside
Go to the water so very near
The river will be your eyes and ears
I walk to the borders on my own
To fall in the water just like a stone
Chilled to the marrow in them bones
Why do I go here all alone
Oh my God I see how everything is torn in the river deep
And I don't know why I go the way
Down by the riverside
Oh oh, hey hey
Down by the riverside
Brother Sparrow
Voices in the street,
footsteps on the concrete
Guess I hear just every sound
on the ground
From my window view,
I know a color blue,
that can bite so very hard,
the day apart
Picture fresh as water clear,
days have passed without you here
Street lights dancing on the dark
across the park
Waiting for a word from you,
waiting for a sign or two
Footsteps on the city ground,
you know the sound
Brother Sparrow,
come tomorrow
to my window
Brother Sparrow,
come tomorrow
to my window
Voices in the street,
footsteps on the concrete
Guess I hear just every sound
on the ground
From my window view,
I know a color blue,
that can bite so very hard,
the day apart
Picture fresh as water clear,
days have passed without you here
Street lights dancing on the dark
across the park
Waiting for a word from you,
waiting for a sign or two
Footsteps on the city ground,
you know the sound
Brother Sparrow,
come tomorrow
to my window
Brother Sparrow,
come tomorrow
to my window
Just So
Black turns beamy bright
Turning on the light
Today is gonna be the day
You hear somebody say,
We need you wide awake
Tiptoe over the floor
What are you waiting for?
So so and no more
That's all to be sorry for
Today is gonna be the day
You hear somebody say
We need you wide awake
You hear the minutes kick and play
The order of the day
Is hollering your way
The window shade
The nursing aid
To let it all just work the way
From head to toe
A shadow grows
Since forever and a day
Quiet moments hum
But some do you wrong
Today is gonna be the day
You hear somebody say
We need you wide awake
No time for tea or lemonade
Someone has set the date
We're only half the way
Drink a toast to the sun
To the things that never come
To the break of the day
That is all I say
Black turns beamy bright
Turning on the light
Today is gonna be the day
You hear somebody say,
We need you wide awake
Tiptoe over the floor
What are you waiting for?
So so and no more
That's all to be sorry for
Today is gonna be the day
You hear somebody say
We need you wide awake
You hear the minutes kick and play
The order of the day
Is hollering your way
The window shade
The nursing aid
To let it all just work the way
From head to toe
A shadow grows
Since forever and a day
Quiet moments hum
But some do you wrong
Today is gonna be the day
You hear somebody say
We need you wide awake
No time for tea or lemonade
Someone has set the date
We're only half the way
Drink a toast to the sun
To the things that never come
To the break of the day
That is all I say
Beast
I would know who roars mostly like the beast
going out to hunt and then back to feast
I consider you, I consider you
I consider you
From your hill of beans I will sit and roar
Thinking to myself: What are you waiting for?
I consider you, I consider you
I consider you
Let's go tonight, let the beast run a mile,
with the dogs and the cattle, let's go.
I know you said it's like a heel to the head,
or a girl in your bed and in your arms.
Curiousity you do not know
but with a gang of me you'll be on your toes,
I consider you, I consider you
I consider you
For a bit of skirt you do go my way
singing to the sky, oh like a bird of prey,
I consider you, I consider you
I consider you
Let's go tonight, to let the beast run wild
with the dogs and the cattle, let's go.
I know you've said, it's like a heel to the head,
or a girl in your bed and your arms.
For the butter on your bread, for the dying and the dead,
for your cheeks turning red, let's go.
Let's go tonight, let the beast run a mile,
with the dogs and the cattle, let's go.

What is wrong at the end of the day
What is really wrong no one dares to say
You know you're wrong when there's only one right
but what is wrong when right is out of sight
Right rode away long ago
Before rescuing wrong from below
I might be mistaken, I know
but hey we need to be somewhat
Foolish, feebleminded,
wrong and senseless
Right rode off long ago,
there's nothing more you need to know,
there's nothing more you need to show,
Let us disagree
cause wrong was made, for you to be
What is false when we can't hear no more
And there is nothing to cover for
What is wrong in this old wasted game
May right and wrong be one and the same
Right rode away long ago
Before rescuing wrong from below
I might be mistaken, I know
but hey we need to be somewhat
Foolish, feebleminded,
wrong and senseless
Right rode off long ago,
there's nothing more you need to know,
there's nothing more you need to show,
Let us disagree
cause wrong was made, for you to be
What is wrong at the end of the day
What is really wrong no one dares to say
You know you're wrong when there's only one right
but what is wrong when right is out of sight
Right rode away long ago
Before rescuing wrong from below
I might be mistaken, I know
but hey we need to be somewhat
Foolish, feebleminded,
wrong and senseless
Right rode off long ago,
there's nothing more you need to know,
there's nothing more you need to show,
Let us disagree
cause wrong was made, for you to be
What is false when we can't hear no more
And there is nothing to cover for
What is wrong in this old wasted game
May right and wrong be one and the same
Right rode away long ago
Before rescuing wrong from below
I might be mistaken, I know
but hey we need to be somewhat
Foolish, feebleminded,
wrong and senseless
Right rode off long ago,
there's nothing more you need to know,
there's nothing more you need to show,

Close Watch
Never win and never lose
There's nothing much to choose
Between the right and wrong
Nothing lost and nothing gained
Still things aren't quite the same
Between you and me
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I still hear your voice at night
When I turn out the light
And try to settle down
But there's nothing I can do
'Cause I can't live without you
Any way at all
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
Oh I'm sure
No harm will come to you no more
'Cause I find myself in your hands
Don't you be so hard on yourself
Never win and never lose
There's nothing much to choose
Between the right and wrong
Nothing lost and nothing gained
Still things aren't quite the same
Between you and me
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I still hear your voice at night
When I turn out the light
And try to settle down
But there's nothing I can do
'Cause I can't live without you
Any way at all
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
Oh I'm sure
No harm will come to you no more
'Cause I find myself in your hands
Don't you be so hard on yourself
Over the hill
I will be waiting for you
I won't pretend
That you don't mean nothing to me
Come now, come now,
Come back now, come back now
The doubt will creep
And crawl in on you
The dark can leap
And fall upon you
Come back now, come back now
Let it be, let it go,
Let it fall, let it blow
Let it come, let it go,
Let it fall, we will know
I will be waiting for you
I won't pretend
That you don't mean nothing to me
Come now, come now,
Come back now, come back now
The doubt will creep
And crawl in on you
The dark can leap
And fall upon you
Come back now, come back now
Let it be, let it go,
Let it fall, let it blow
Let it come, let it go,
Let it fall, we will know
On Powdered Ground
Go back and forward,
but all is melting like the snow
Taking all from us,
all we thought was left to know
On what we treasure
falls a dusty snow
taking us backwards
but where we will never know
Don't break your back on the track
Don't break your back on the track
Don't break your back on the track
Don't break your back on the track
This strong old blizzard
I will let it blow
to undiscovered places
underneath the snow
Don't break your back on the track
Don't break your back on the track ...
Go back and forward,
but all is melting like the snow
Taking all from us,
all we thought was left to know
On what we treasure
falls a dusty snow
taking us backwards
but where we will never know
Don't break your back on the track
Don't break your back on the track
Don't break your back on the track
Don't break your back on the track
This strong old blizzard
I will let it blow
to undiscovered places
underneath the snow
Don't break your back on the track
Don't break your back on the track ...
