The Start Of Nothin' 03:35
lyrics

I was a young boy runnin’ My shoes a blur I had something to tell you Didn’t know where you were I was a young boy runnin’ Stumblin’ everywhere Blinded by these age-old tears Blinded by the sun through your hair This is the start of nothin’, darlin’ This is the start of nothin’ at all This is the start of nothin’ This is the start of it all I was a young boy runnin’ ‘Cross the opened fields Light fading in the ancient sky And only your face is real I stand beneath a willow tree Your straw hat in my hands I was a young boy runnin’

Whatever You Wanted 03:10
lyrics
buy track
Changed the locks round here Sure hope you don’t come back Rearranged the furniture Just like I like it. I changed my number You can’t call me up no more Strange to be here on my own But I like it Whatever you wanted Whatever you came here about Whatever you wanted Well, I’m all out Whatever you came for The thing that made you twist and shout Whatever it was Well, I’m all out I gave you everything Lock and stock and barrel too Slaved to be right by your side The one who really cared I gave myself away Now I’m starting over Savin’ all my lovin’ For someone who really cares I’m all out of sympathy I’m all out of grace I’m all out of romance Stay away from my place I’m all out of mercy I’m all out care I’m all out of money Go find it elsewhere

Crazy Heart 04:32
lyrics

What’ll I do with you, crazy heart? You got the wrong one in your sights again Your needs, they lead me astray Crazy heart What you got in store for me today? Now, don’t you start your games Crazy heart Can’t you tell when everything’s okay? You’re not to smart It seems What’ll I do? What’ll I do with you? What’ll I do with you, crazy heart? Crazy heart What you got in mind for me tonight? Now, don’t you start a scene Crazy heart Can’t you tell that everything’s alright? You tear me apart With your schemes What’ll I do? What’ll I do with you? What’ll I do with you, crazy heart? What’ll I do with you, crazy heart? You got the wrong one in your sights again. Old friend, won’t you mend your ways? What’ll I do? What’ll I do with you? What’ll I do with you, crazy heart?

Losing You 03:54
lyrics
buy track
Twenty four hours since you been gone And the daredevil in me carries on Tossed upon the white waters I take a spill into the river It’s not the chill that makes me shiver - It’s losing you Two days alone and I’m doin’ great I take a jump to celebrate Strapped into a parachute I wait a while to pull the cord I miss your smile. Landing’s hard - Losing you Reckless, wild I keep runnin’ I didn’t see this comin’ Losing you Three full days of rock and roll This lonesome boy’s out of control I set the volume to eleven I’ve played these songs so many times But something’s wrong…. I’m Losing you. A week of tasting everything The waitress at the diner brings I watch her lean against the jukebox Line from a song I heard: Freedom’s just another word Losing you

Sparrow 03:54
lyrics
buy track
Sparrow tells me: listen up, I’m tryin’ to tell you somethin’ good Your garden’s got the sweetest worms I like a juicy neighborhood Sparrow calls as I go by: Sorrow is not where it’s at You can’t see where you are goin’ You better watch out for the cat At least that’s what I thought I heard And then it flew Away, this bird Sparrow tells me: get a grip You’ve lost the plot again somehow This should be music to your ears Me telling you to buck up now Sparrow calls down from the tree You’re a jackass, that’s confirmed But don’t despair, I’ll tell you what Let’s you and I both dig for worms

Dream 04:35
lyrics

Dream Floatin’ here beneath the trees Dream Scent of huckleberry on the breeze ‘Moon River’ playin’ softly somewhere Just around the bend A crash of dishes and it seems my armchair Has run aground again I’m comin’ round again Dream Don’t fade to black Dream If I don’t move an inch and no one pinches me Won’t you come driftin’ back? Dream Clouds underneath my balloon Dream I reach out and touch the moon ‘Come Fly With Me’ playing softly somewhere Down on land A siren screams and it seems my armchair Has run aground again I’m coming down again

A Fool Who Cries 03:52
lyrics
buy track
No easy passage on to glory For an hombre cut right down to size Nobody’s dyin’ to hear the story Of a fool who cries No medals for the souls who lay low In quiet rooms to hide their eyes Nobody’s gonna put a halo On a fool who cries I’m the original Weeping clown whose teardrops spill Too easily I get emotional There is no cure, no pill No remedy For a fool who cries No cheering ringside for the fearful Shadow-boxers don’t take home a prize In the loser’s corner, hurt and tearful Stands a fool who cries It’s not fair I was next in line It’s not fair I never got mine It’s not fair Everyone stops to stare at fool who cries

Go Get Along 02:58
lyrics
buy track
There you go Goin’ over every Detail of my wayward ways Every slip Every trip that laid me low Each wasted day Have your say It’s plain to see It’s up to me I’ll just go Get along Now I know Nothin’ gives you satisfaction Quite like keeping score It’s clear Clearing out my things I should have done this long before Don’t be sore It’s plain to see It’s up to me I’ll just go Get along Right or wrong We couldn’t get along It’s plain as day I have to say I’ll just go Get along

Before 02:49
lyrics
buy track
Anyone would say These were hard times Anyone would say The tide was risin’ round your door Why didn’t you stay Under the covers Like before Anyone would think You’d never known trouble Anyone would think There’d be no better times in store Why didn’t you sink Under the covers Like before I’m counting Every wave that breaks here Where you washed up on the shore And wanting Everything to be the way it was Before Anyone should know You keep on fighting Anyone should know You keep on holding out for more Why didn’t you go Under the covers Like before

High 03:16
lyrics
buy track
High as a satellite Taking in the view High in this starry night Orbiting round you When you’re here When you’re near me O I just float away Won’t you stay Here near me Everyday. High in the rafters And there ain’t no coming down High on your laughter Keeps me holdin’ on When you’re here When you’re near me The blues just fall away Won’t you stay Here near me Everyday. Just one glance You smile at me I start to lose my ground There’s no chance For gravity When you’re around I’m high High as the morning star Waking next to you High, ‘cause there you are And no-one else will do When you’re here When you’re near me I feel like I can fly Won’t you stay Here near me And I’m high

Sad Songs 03:09

Sad sad songs Don’t ya start Before too long I’ll be a mess I’ll fall apart On my own Now you’re gone Sittin’ here in the dark Singing sad, sad songs All the sad songs All the sad songs I know Sad sad songs Let ‘em flow Before too long I’ll open up and Just let go All alone The only one Sittin’ here in the dark Singing sad, sad songs Night after night it’s all I can do Wondrin’ are you singing those sad songs too

The Long Ride Home 03:24
lyrics

Joey’s ridin’ shotgun he’s crankin’ up the heat Tommy’s yellin’: C’mon. Let’s go And he’s slapping on my seat I toot the horn for Jake there’s a girl he had to meet O, the boys are back in town, alright, the boys are back in town tonight All aboard, boys, for the long ride home There’s a grind of shifting gears, music still ringing in our ears, All abroad, boys, for the long ride home We killed tonight, that’s what they said, we knocked ’em dead Joey’s bitchin’ ‘bout the cold What he says strikes up a spark And Tommy goes all silent Writes a new song in the dark And Jake… well, there’s a cryin’ girl as he steps out of the park The boys’ll break your heart, its true, the boys’ll break your heart in two All aboard, boys, for the long ride home There’s a grind of shifting gears, music still ringing in our ears, All abroad, boys, for the long ride home We killed tonight, that’s what they said, we knocked ’em dead
