Down This Road

I’ve been walking down this road
I’ve been walking down this road
I’ve been walking down this road
Just searching for a friendly smile
I haven’t got a dime
No, I haven’t even got a dime
No, I haven’t got a dime
To make a call to even save my life
Oh…Oh…Oh…I’ve been
Walking down this road tell me why’d you go
I’ve felt rain and I’ve heard thunder
No time now to stop and wonder why
(Grab my hand and run for cover)
I’ve made mistakes and I’ve made blunders
You stole my love
And my heart is plundered now
And the rain is coming down…
Down on me
You left me all alone
Yes, you left me all alone
You left me all alone
And I don’t even like myself
Maybe it is true
I said maybe it is true
Maybe it is true
That I don’t even deserve to be saved
Oh…Oh…Oh…I’ve been
Walking down this road tell me why’d you go
I’ve felt rain and I’ve heard thunder
No time now to stop and wonder why
(Grab my hand and run for cover)
I’ve made mistakes and I’ve made blunders
You stole my love
And my heart is plundered now
And the rain is coming down…
Down on me
I’ve been walking down this road
I’ve been walking down this road
I’ll keep walking down this road
Just searching for your love again

Dreaming About Drowning

He’s sitting at the edge of the world
Watching the sun swallow up the sea
He’s been putting up his feet since the last century
Remembering the scenes of his own life’s little movie
He’s had something on his mind for a long, long time
Something, something on his mind
He’s been dreaming about drowning
Letting it go…sinking down real slow
He’s been dreaming about drowning
He’s wandered to the edge of the world
Walking on a beach feeling the sand in his toes
He’s think it must be heaven
Wading in the surf and feelin' the tide in his clothes
He’s had something on his mind
For a long, long time
He’s been dreaming about drowning
Letting it go…sinking down real slow
He’s been dreaming about drowning
Out here on the horizon
He’s only realizing
Everything is falling into place
He’s finally recognizing
Everything he’s been denying
He only wants to see her face
He’s been dreaming about drowning
Letting it go…sinking down real slow
He’s been dreaming about drowning

Hey, hey, hey won’t you stay with me now?
We could watch the sunrise.
It’ll be OK
Even if the sun should turn to clouds
And rain down in our eyes
I can tell by that wrinkled brow
That you think I...think I’ve lost my head
And I’m out of my tree
You can hold… your breath
Until you turn red
But stranger than the change I’ve seen
Is why it is you won’t talk to me
What do you want from me?
I’m the last man on Earth
What do you want from me?
I’m the last man on Earth
Who could set you free…
Hey, hey, hey…so you say I’ve completely lost my mind
But you’ve turned gray, don’t let your life slip away
And turn old before your time
If I were Edison, or Bell, or even Sherlock Holmes
Would you pass it off
Being out of my tree?
If I were Hemingway, or Mills, or Poe,
Or Woolf, or Pig, or Ridinghood
Being out of my tree
You can hold…a thorn until you bleed
But stranger than the change I’ve seen
Is why it is you won’t talk to me
What do you want from me?
I’m the last man on Earth
What do you want from me?
I’m the last man on Earth
Who could set you free…
Hey, hey, hey…what are you saying to me now
Are you going away or is that old rainstorm coming down?
Coming down on you
If I were Edison, or Bell,
Or even Sherlock Holmes
Would you pass it off
Being out of my tree?
You can hold…a thorn
Until you bleed
But stranger than the change I’ve seen
Is why it is you won’t talk to me
What do you want from me?
I’m the last man on Earth
What do you want from me?
I’m the last man on Earth
Who could set you free…

Here Comes the Ground

I’m not sure how I got here
It’s all a bit of a haze
I’ve been walkin’ on a ledge,
Spittin’ off the edge,
And living on borrowed days
Some things they don’t fit
And some things they ain’t right
You laugh at me and shake your head
And say I’ve thrown away my life
But it’s all coming clear to me now
There are some high-flying clouds
Flying over me
But I’m looking down
I’ve been falling down fast
But I’m starting to see
Yeah…here comes the ground
Here comes the ground
I’ve driven off the rails once or twice
But it was nothing I couldn’t handle
With some bourbon and some ice
I’ve burned bridges
Told some lies,
And I’ve gone crazy for a while
I’ll look at you straight in the eye
But there’s a devil in my smile
And it’s all coming clear to me now
There are some high-flying clouds
Flying over me
But I’m looking down
There’s nothing between the earth and me
I’m just looking around
I’ve been falling down fast
But I’m starting to see
Yeah…here comes the ground
Here comes the ground
And it won’t be look soft
Here comes the ground
And I feel a bit off…
There are some high-flying clouds
Flying over me
But I’m looking down
I’ve been falling down fast
But I’m starting to see
Yeah…here comes the ground
Here comes the ground
Here comes the ground
Here comes the ground
Here comes the ground

Big Clouds
04:20

Big clouds bumping up the mountain top
Car tracks in open field of grass
Zipping up my jacket, pulling up my hood
Honey, I’m afraid that this won’t pass
Downtown scraping up some grub, you see
Staring at my shoes as the rain came falling fast
I saw an old friend ‘cross the street hunkered by a paper box
Funny how it feels just like the past
And you are dead to me
And you are dead to me now
I’m walking…I’m just walking away
I’m looking to wash my hands of you
I’m hoping to say goodbye
Let me say goodbye
Raindrops running down my neck and back
Hoping for a change in the abject forecast
There’s a hole in my pocket and a hole in the sky
Money’s gone, but the sun is peeking fast
And you are dead to me
And you are dead to me now
I’m walking…I’m just walking away
I’m looking to wash my hands of you
I’m hoping to say goodbye
Let me say goodbye
And you are dead to me
And you are dead to me now
I’m walking…I’m just walking away
