My Last Cash

There's a lesson I learned I have to learn again
You'll tell me it's all okay, but then
I look in your eyes and know that's not so.
Affection comes back with a jolt and a flash
I'll tell you it doesn't fade, and well, that's
All you get from me, at least without a drink.
I always spent my love like my last cash.
I couldn't tell you how it all went so fast.
I should have taken time to ask you how you were.
Or maybe you told me, I can't be sure.
You can have me now, for all that it's worth
I always spent my love like my last cash.
I couldn't tell you how it all went so fast.
All I want is to kill some time with you now.
All I want is to kill some time with you now

I Remember You

I held my breath as the train pulled in the station.
How strange to be back home.
This is the first time you won't be waiting
on the platform when I arrive
For the whole ride I thought I reconciled
my feelings now that you're gone
But as I stand here
on my own with bag in hand
I only feel deprived.
I close my eyes,
keep the earth beneath my feet
The warmth of the sun
takes the chill out of the breeze
For a moment everything at peace
And I remember you.
This is the same path
we used to take together on autumn days
We'd walk in silence
no need for conversation, lost in our minds
I like to think that if I walk this path alone
I will feel you near
I'll pretend
you only wandered out of sight
or you're close behind.
I close my eyes,
keep the earth beneath my feet
The warmth of the sun
takes the chill out of the breeze
For a moment everything at peace
And I remember you.
I remember you my friend
I remember you
I remember you my friend
I remember you

The Ghost of Your Voice
02:49
|
|

The ghost of your voice rings but it's hollow
the echo is all that remains.
It floats on the air I barely can follow
quietly quickly it fades
I stumble and fall as I call thru the valley
I'm closer while chasing your name
The pillar of doubt casts a long shadow.
Which one of us lost their way?
The sun starts to wane. Will you be here tomorrow?
There's little light left in the day.
I stumble and fall as I call thru the valley
I'm closer while chasing your name
The farther I travel the more of a gamble
I make our direction's the same.
The ghost of your voice rings but it's hollow
the echo is all that remains.

It's a sixteen hour drive back East and we start before day break
I take the first shift since I know I'll be awake
and the darkness melts away before we hit Mile Marker 1
in front me all I see are the foothills and the sun
And it will be your turn to drive once we cross the Great Divide
for now you're fast asleep on the passenger side
Dark clouds gathering behind I won't pay them any mind
We'll keep in front of the storm and and we'll make it home alive
every mile thru the mountains brings more beauty than I've known
I should share with you but I prefer to see it on my own
with Painful on the stereo since I got behind the wheel
I sing with Georgia one more time "Do you know how I feel?"
And it will be your turn to drive once we cross the Great Divide
for now you're fast asleep on the passenger side
Dark clouds gathering behind I won't pay them any mind
We'll keep moving east and I know we'll be fine
We'll keep in front of the storm as we've done since before dawn
There will be nothing but clear skies before too long
There will be nothing but clear skies before too long
There will be nothing but clear skies before too long

The Right Way
02:52
|

You write novels in the second person
And can't think of anything worse than being told what to do
You don't like it when I am forthcoming
And there ain't no bigger drag than to get stuck next to you.
You talk love but say you've never been in it
And no matter the subject you know your beliefs to be true
Your leather cuff doesn't make you tough
You just try too hard for someone with nothing to prove
So you say
There's only so much I can take
I cant let this go another day
I'll think it over but I think it's the right way
You own the rights to a new kind of sadness
And if anyone takes up your hobby you tell them you're thru
You live by a code that's unspoken
And someday you'll reap that reward that's so long overdue.
So you say
There's only so much I can take
I can’t let this go another day
I'll think it over but I think it's time I
Had my say
There is no more I can take
I won’t let this go another day
Now think it over ‘cause I think it's the right way

How Far I've Run
04:10

I have a notecard in my pocket to tell me what day it is
I keep my journal close at hand
I use it to record the little things that add up to a life
I hope you understand
I check my notes
Put your face with a name
Remind myself this is New York not LA
I know it's not an easy task confabulations cloud my mind
Yet you stay by my side
It's a waste of time to compare self to what I used to be
Fill in all the lost time
I check my notes
Put your face with a name
Remind myself this is New York not LA
I used to fear there'd come a day I'd turn around and be 80
Missing years of my life
Now I have one request of you and it would mean the world to me
If we could cross that finish line
So don't tell me how far I've run
Don't tell me how far I've run
