The ocean buried can you spill a secret lyrics

Here We Go. We laugh. It's done. We're in the final moment From far and wide we see the world in pieces When he comes around, it will all be gone Every penny resides under your arm Oh, the angle of love that twists in a time of war Here we go I waited for this all of my life Here we go Maybe the time is right The end is near. The Jesus Song I was sitting on my porch last evening singing songs and feeling high.

How you been? Put on a good show! She sends the shadows dancing with the fading light. A man had better keep his wits close and his eyes shut tight.

Just truths, untold. Climbed castle wall just to gaze upon blue, felt your song there. They bleed into water and sink far below. Will this heart of stone ever yield? The ax is already at the root of the trees.

Never Seen a Ghost [single]. Nine months there's a baby girl She'll grow up hated but she won't grow old I ain't never seen a ghost in this old house. To the Moon and BAck [single]. You may fall, but you'll get up You can't fail if you don't stop And I love you to the moon and back. And though I know this life is hard I'll be with you from the start, my love.

I Got Trouble I got trouble, I got trouble. Verona O fair Verona! This space is getting hot, you know this space is getting hot. I told Althea I'm a roving son, and I was born to be a bachelor. Althea told me, okay, that's fine, so now I'm trying to catch her.

Can't talk to you without talking to me, we're guilty of the same old thing. Been talking alot about less and less and forgetting the love we bring. In the attics of my life, full of cloudy dreams unreal. Full of tastes no tongue can know, and lights no eyes can see. When there was no ear to hear, you sang to me. I have spent my life seeking all that's still unsung. Bent my ear to hear the tune, and closed my eyes to see. When there was no strings to play, you played to me.

In the book of love's own dream, where all the print is blood. Where all the pages are my days, and all the lights grow old. When I had no wings to fly, you flew to me, you flew to me. In the secret space of dreams, where I dreaming lay amazed. When the secrets all are told, and the petals all unfold. When there was no dream of mine, you dreamed of me. One or two moments, a piece of your time Is all that I'm asking, and I'll give you mine One or two moments out of all you have got To show how I love you, believe it or not.

Remember the day I rolled in to town With my heart in my shoes, with my head hanging down Now my only trouble, the rest I forgot Is to show how I love you, believe it or not. Done time in the lockup, done time in the street Done time on the upswing and time in defeat I know what I'm asking, and I know it's a lot When I say that I love you, believe it or not.

I know I'm no angel, my prospects are high As the flood line in summer when the river's gone dry But I'll roll up my shirt-sleeves and make my best shot To show how I love you, believe it or not.

Right now while the sun shines on the crest of the hill With a breeze in the pines and a grey whippoorwill Making music together that guitars never caught Let me show how I love you, believe it or not. I had a hard run, runnin' from your window. I was all night running, running, Lord I wonder if you care, I had a run in, run around, and run down. Run around the corner, corner, Lord run smack in to a tree. I had to move, really had to move, That's why if you please, I am on my bendin' knees, Bertha don't you come around here anymore.

Dressed myself in green, I went down unto the sea. Try to see what's goin' down, try to read between the lines. I had a feelin' I was fallin', fallin', fallin', I turned around to see, Heard a voice al callin', Lord you was commin' after me. I had to move, really had to move, That's why if you please, I am on my bendin knees, Bertha don't you come around here anymore. Ran into a rainstorm, I ducked back into Novato. It's all night pourin', pourin', pourin', Lord but not a drop on me.

Test me, test me, Test me, test me, test me, Why don't you arrest me? Throw me in to the jailhouse, Lord until the sun goes down, 'till it goes down. All I know is something like a bird within her sang note 1 All I know she sang a little while and then flew on Tell me all that you know I'll show you Snow and rain.

If you hear that same sweet song again, will you know why? Anyone who sings a tune so sweet is passing by Laugh in the sunshine Sing, cry in the dark Fly through the night. Sleep in the stars Don't you cry Dry your eyes on the wind La da da da da da.

All I know is something like a bird within her sang All I know she sang a little while and then flew on Tell me all that you know I'll show you Snow and rain. When the last rose of summer pricks my fingers And the hot sun chills me to the bone When I can't hear the song for the singer And I can't tell my pillow from a stone.

I will walk alone by the black muddy river And sing me a song of my own I will walk alone by the black muddy river Sing me a song of my own.

When the last bolt of sunshine hits the mountain And the stars seem to splatter in the sky When the moon splits the south west horizon And scream of an eagle on the fly. I will walk alone by the black muddy river And listen to the ripples as they moan I will walk alone by the black muddy river Sing me a song of my own.

Black muddy river Roll on forever I don't care how deep and wide If you got another side Roll muddy river Roll muddy river Black muddy river, roll. When it seems like the night will last forever And there's nothing left to do but count the years When the strings of my heart start to sever And stones fall from my eyes instead of tears.

I will walk alone by the black muddy river And dream me a dream of my own I will walk alone by the black muddy river Sing me a song of my own And sing me a song of my own. All of my friends come to see me last night I was laying in my bed and dying Annie Beauneu from Saint Angel note 1 Say "the weather down here so fine". Just then the wind came squalling through the door note 2 But who can the weather command Just want to have a little peace to die And a friend or two I love at hand. Fever roll up to a hundred and five Roll on up, gonna roll back down One more day I find myself alive Tomorrow maybe go beneath the ground.

See here how everything Lead up to this day And it's just like any other day That's ever been Sun going up and then The sun going down Shine through my window And my friends they come around Come around, come around. The people might know, but the people don't care That a man can be as poor as me note 3 Take a look at poor Peter, he's lying in pain Now let's come run and see Run and see Run and see Run, run and see, and see. Arabian wind, the needle's eye is thin The ships of state sail on mirage and drown in sand Out in no man's land, where Allah does command What good is spilling blood?

It will not grow a thing "Taste eternity", the swords sing Blues for Allah, Insh'Allah They lie where they fall, there's nothing more to say The desert stars are bright tonight, let's meet as friends. The flower of Islam, the fruit of Abraham The thousand stories have come round to one again Arabian night, our gods pursue their flight What fatal flowers of darkness bloom from seeds of light Bird of Paradise fly in the white sky.

Blues for Allah, Insh'Allah Let's see with our heart these things our eyes have seen And know the truth must still lie somewhere in between. Look out of any window Any morning, any evening, any day Maybe the sun is shining Birds are winging, no rain is falling from a heavy sky What do you want me to do To do for you to see you through? For this is all a dream we dreamed one afternoon long ago. Walk out of any doorway Feel your way like the day before Maybe you'll find direction Around some corner where it's been waiting to meet you What do you want me to do To watch for you while you're sleeping?

Then please don't be surprised when you find me dreaming too. Look into any eyes You find by you; you can see clear to another day Maybe been seen before Through other eyes on other days while going home What do you want me to do To do for you to see you through?

It's all a dream we dreamed one afternoon long ago. Walk into splintered sunlight Inch your way through dead dreams to another land Maybe you're tired and broken Your tongue is twisted with words half spoken and thoughts unclear What do you want me to do To do for you, to see you through?

A box of rain will ease the pain and love will see you through. Just a box of rain, wind and water Believe it if you need it, if you don't just pass it on Sun and shower, wind and rain In and out the window like a moth before a flame. And it's just a box of rain, I don't know who put it there Believe it if you need it or leave it if you dare And it's just a box of rain, or a ribbon for your hair Such a long, long time to be gone and a short time to be there.

Fare you well, my honey Fare you well, my only true one All the birds that were singing Are flown, except you alone. Gonna leave this brokedown palace On my hands and my knees, I will roll, roll, roll Make myself a bed by the waterside In my time, in my time, I will roll, roll, roll. In a bed, in a bed By the waterside I will lay my head Listen to the river sing sweet songs To rock my soul.

River gonna take me, sing me sweet and sleepy Sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back home It's a far gone lullaby sung many years ago Mama, Mama, many worlds I've come since I first left home. Going home, going home By the waterside I will rest my bones Listen to the river sing sweet songs To rock my soul. Going to plant a weeping willow On the bank's green edge it will grow, grow, grow Singing a lullaby beside the water Lovers come and go, the river will roll, roll, roll.

Fare you well, fare you well I love you more than words can tell Listen to the river sing sweet songs To rock my soul. Gone are the days when the ox fall down note a Take up the yoke and plough the fields around Gone are the days when the ladies said "please Gentle Jack Jones won't you come to me" note b. Brown-eyed women and red grenadine The bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean Sound of the thunder with the rain pouring down And it looks like the old man's getting on.

Nineteen twenty when he stepped to the bar Drank to the dregs of the whiskey jar Nineteen thirty when the wall caved in He made his way selling red-eyed gin note c. Delilah Jones was the mother of twins Two times over and the rest were sins Raised eight boys, only I turned bad note d Didn't get the lickings that the other ones had.

Tumble-down shack in Big Foot County Snowed so hard that the roof caved in Delilah Jones went to meet her God And the old man never was the same again. Daddy made whiskey and he made it well Cost two dollars and it burned like hell note e I cut hickory just to fire the still Drink down a bottle and you're ready to kill note f.

There are times when you can beckon, There are times when you must call. You can take a lot of reckoning, But you can't take it all. There are times when I can help you out, And times when you must fall. There are times when you must live in doubt And I can't help at all. Three blue stars rise on the hill Sing no more now just be still All these trials soon be past Look for something built to last. A wind held by the collar, Yes, a cloud held by the breeze You can walk on coals of fire But sometimes you must freeze.

There are times when you offend me And I do the same to you If we can't or won't forget it I guess we could be through. One blue star sets on the hill Call it back you never will One more star sinks in the past Show me something built to last. Built to last till time itself falls tumbling from the wall Built to last till sunshine fails and darkness moves on all Built to last while years roll past like cloudscapes in the sky Show me something built to last or something built to try.

There are times when you get hit upon Try hard but you can't give Other times you'd gladly part With what you need to live. All the stars are gone but one Morning breaks here comes the sun Cross the sky now sinking fast Show me something built to last.

Come all you pretty women with your hair a-hanging down Open up your windows, 'cause the Candyman's in town Come on boys and gamble Roll those laughing bones Seven come eleven, boys, I'll take your money home. Look out, look out, the Candyman Here he comes and he's gone again Pretty lady ain't got no friend Till the Candyman comes around again.

Come on boys and wager, if you have got the mind If you've got a dollar, boys, lay it on the line Hand me my old guitar Pass the whiskey round Won't you tell everybody you meet that the Candyman's in townv. Look out, look out, the Candyman Here he come and he's gone again [repeat and fade].

Driving that train, high on cocaine Casey Jones you'd better watch your speed Trouble ahead, trouble behind And you know that notion just crossed my mind note 1. This old engine makes it on time Leaves Central Station 'bout a quarter to nine Hits River Junction at seventeen to At a quarter to ten you know it's travelling again.

Trouble ahead, the lady in red Take my advice you'd be better off dead Switchman's sleeping, train Hundred and Two Is on the wrong track and headed for you. Trouble with you is the trouble with me Got two good eyes but we still don't see Come round the bend, you know it's the end The fireman screams and the engine just gleams. Look for a while at the China Cat Sunflower proud-walking jingle in the midnight sun Copper-dome bodhi drip a silver kimono like a crazy-quilt star gown through a dream night wind.

Krazy Kat peeking through a lace bandana like a one-eyed Cheshire like a diamond-eyed jack A leaf of all colors plays a golden string fiddle to a double-e waterfall over my back.

Comic book colors on a violin river crying Leonardo words from out a silk trombone I rang a silent bell beneath a shower of pearls in the eagle winged palace of the queen Chinee. There's a chill in the meadow, of bottomless time I go on, I go on, I cannot fill my cup There's a hole in the bottom, the spring has dried up.

I run through the forests of linear time Chop through the branches and cut through the vines. I'll be back in a moment, though it may take me years In the lava rock canyons corroded with fears Of corruptible bodies and grief beyond tears. I'll go on till I hear the sweet voices behind That I've left for the comfort of cold Clementine.

Comes a time when the blind man takes your hand note 1 Says "don't you see? Been walking all morning Went walking all night I can't see much difference Between the dark and light And I feel the wind And I taste the rain Never in my mind To cause so much pain.

From day to day Just letting it ride You get so far away From how it feels inside You can't let go 'Cause you're afraid to fall But the day may come When you can't feel at all. Moving in closer note 1 Cut from a long shot Fade on a downbeat Ready or not, ready or not. Cruise through a stop sign Logging up short time Bird on a phone line Soaking up the sun Salt on the crow tail What can I do? I'm down by law But I'm true to you, true to you.

If, what, when and where and how note3 Told at the proper time Big black wings beat on the wind But they don't hardly climb There's a silver ocean Silver clouds on a silver sea A bird on the horizon Silver winging back to me. Corrina, wake it up baby Corrina, shake it down easy Corrina, shake it on up now Corrina, shake it back down. If, what, where and how Don't mean a thing to me I would love you even if You flew away from me I'll just stand here waiting On the far side of the sea There is no fear that lovers born note 5 Can ever fail to meet.

Cosmic Charley, how do you do? Kalico Kahlia, come tell me the news Calamity's waiting for a way to get to her Rosy red and electric blue I bought you a paddle for your paper canoe. Say you'll come back when you can Whenever your airplane happens to land Maybe I'll be back here too It all depends on what's with you. Hung up waiting for a windy day Kite on ice since the first of February Mama keeps saying that the wind might blow But standing here, I say I just don't know.

New ones coming as the old ones go Everything's moving here, but much too slow now A little bit quicker and we might have time To say "How do you do? Calliope wail like a seaside zoo The very last lately enquired about you It's really very one or two The first you wanted, the last I knew. I just wonder if you shouldn't feel Less concern about the deep unreal The very first word is "How do you do?

Go on home your mama's calling you Go on home your mama's calling you Go on home your mama's calling you. Your rain falls like crazy fingers Peals of fragile thunder Keeping time Recall the days that still are to come Some sing blue.

Hang your heart on laughing willow Stray down to the water Deep sea of love Beneath the sweet calm face of the sea Swift undertow. Life may be sweeter for this, I don't know See how it feels in the end May Lady Lullaby sing plainly for you Soft, strong, sweet and true.

Cloud hands reaching from a rainbow Tapping at the window Touch your hair So swift and bright, strange figures of light note 1 Float in air. Who can stop what must arrive now? Something new is waiting To be born Dark as the night you're still by my side Shining side note 2.

Gone are the days we stopped to decide Where we should go, we just ride Gone are the broken eyes we saw through in dreams Gone, both dream and lie. Life may be sweeter for this, I don't know Feels like it might be alright While Lady Lullaby sings plainly for you note 3 Love still rings true.

Midnight on a carousel ride Reaching for the gold ring Down inside Never could reach it, just slips away But I try note 4. I can't stay here much longer, Melinda The sun is getting high I can't help you with your troubles If you won't help with mine I gotta get down I gotta get down Gotta get down to the mine.

You keep me up just one more night I can't stop here no more Little Ben clock says quarter to eight You kept me up till four I gotta get down I gotta get down Or I can't work there no more. Lotta poor man make a five dollar bill Will keep him happy all the time Some other fellow's making nothing at all And you can hear him cry. Lotta poor man got the Cumberland Blues He can't win for losing Lotta poor man got to walk the line Just to pay his union dues.

Dark star crashes note a Pouring its light into ashes Reason tatters The forces tear loose from the axis Searchlight casting For faults in the clouds of delusion. Mirror shatters In formless reflections of matter Glass hand dissolving To ice petal flowers revolving Lady in velvet Recedes in the nights of goodbye.

There were days, and there were days And there were days between Summer flies and August dies The world grows dark and mean Comes the shimmer of the moon On black infested trees The singing man is at his song The holy on their knees The reckless are out wrecking The timid plead their pleas No one knows much more of this Than anyone can see Anyone can see.

There were days, and there were days And there were days besides When phantom ships with phantom sails Set to sea on phantom tides Comes the lightning of the sun On bright unfocused eyes The blue of yet another day A springtime wet with sighs A hopeful candle lingers In the land of lullabies Where headless horsemen vanish With wild and lonely cries Lonely cries. There were days, and there were days And there were days I know When all we ever wanted Was to learn and love and grow Once we grew into our shoes We told them where to go Walked halfway around the world On promise of the glow Stood upon a mountain top Walked barefoot in the snow Gave the best we had to give How much we'll never know We'll never know.

There were days, and there were days And there were days between Polished like a golden bowl The finest ever seen Hearts of Summer held in trust Still tender young and green Left on shelves collecting dust Not knowing what they mean Valentines of flesh and blood As soft as velveteen Hoping love would not forsake The days that lie between Lie between.

Since it cost a lot to win note 1 And even more to lose You and me bound to spend some time Wondering what to choose. Goes to show, you don't ever know Watch each card you play and play it slow Wait until that deal come round Don't you let that deal go down, no, no. I've been gambling here abouts For ten good solid years If I told you all that went down It would burn off both your ears.

Since you poured the wine for me And tightened up my shoes I hate to leave you sitting there Composing lonesome blues. In the timbers of Fennario the wolves are running round note 1 The winter was so hard and cold, froze ten feet 'neath the ground. I sat down to supper, 'twas a bottle of red whiskey I said my prayers and went to bed, that's the last they saw of me.

When I awoke, the dire wolf, six hundred pounds of sin Was grinning at my window, all I said was "Come on in". The wolf came in, I got my cards, we sat down for a game I cut my deck to the queen of spades but the cards were all the same note 2. In the back-wash of Fennario, the black and bloody mire The dire wolf collects his due while the boys sing round the fire. Sitting in Mangrove Valley chasing light beams Everything wanders from baby to Z Baby baby pretty young on Tuesday Old like a rum drinking demon at tea Baby, baby, tell me what's the matter Why, why tell me, what's your why now Tell me why will you never come home Tell me what's your reason if you got a good one Everywhere I go the people all know Everyone's doin' that rag Everywhere I go the people all know Everyone's doin' that rag.

Take my line, go fishing for a Tuesday Maybe take my supper, eat it down by the sea Gave my baby twenty, forty good reasons Couldn't find any better ones in the morning at three Rain gonna come but the rain gonna go Stepping off sharply from the rank and file Awful cold and dark like a dungeon Maybe get a little bit darker 'fore the day Hipsters, tripsters, real cool chicks, sir 'Cause everyone's doin' that rag Hipsters, tripsters, real cool chicks, sir 'Cause everyone's doin' that rag.

You needn't gild the lily, offer jewels to the sunset No one is watching or standing in your shoes Wash your lonely feet in the river in the morning Everything promised is delivered to you Don't neglect to pick up what your share is All the winter birds are winging home now Hey, love, go and take a look around you Nothing out there you haven't seen before now But you can wade in the water and never get wet If you keep on doin' that rag Wade in the water and never get wet If you keep on doin' that rag.

In came the girl with the sad eyes and asked him over again, Was I too weak? Was I a child? How much more can you take from me? You came from heaven, is all he said. You came from heaven and came here to me, and I love you…. He drove fast through the night and looked at his angel where she lay resting her head, and he closed her eyes.

Outside the heat and the summer faded. They took her from heaven and gave her to me. You can love her and you can love me at the same time. The scent of Thyme carried on the wind, stings your face into remembering that nature has won again.

Cruel nature, cruel, cruel nature. The land returns to how it has always been. The scent of Thyme carried on the wind. Jagged mountains jutting out, cracked like teeth in a rotten mouth. Do you remember the first kiss? Stars shooting across the sky.

To come to such a place as this. You never left my mind. All I need is you tonight. All through the rising sun, all through the circling years you were the only one who could have brought me here.

I slept facing the wall I dreamt of our building in pieces You slept facing the wall and you wanted less than I wanted. How dare you! Hear me, and you hear the law. All that rubbish inside your rotting mind. I am your guardian. I am your fairy.

Do my will. Such love as this is true love! Mummy, put your needle down How did you feel when you were young? What will become of us?

A small, red sun makes way for night — trails away like a tail light. Is that Jesus on the water talking to the fallen trees? Lie steady. Rest your head on me. And you believed me! Caught out again. Getting even. I was joking… Sweet babe, let me stroke it. Take, I give in. Lover had to leave me to cross the desert plains. He turned to me, his lady, tells me, Lover, wait.

Wind and rain haunt me. I look to the north and pray. Send me please, his kisses. Send him home today.

Left alone in the desert this house becomes a hell, this love becomes a tether, this room becomes a cell. How long must I suffer? This love becomes my torture, this love my only crime. Oh lover, please release me, my arms too weak to grip, my eyes too dry for weeping, my lips too dry to kiss. He said, Sheela na gig, Sheela na gig You exhibitionist! Put money in your idle hole. All those places where I recall the memories that grip me and pin me down, I go to these places pretending to think — I can think of nothing, but anticipate.

I freed myself from my family, I freed myself from work, I freed myself, and remained alone…. You snake you crawled between my legs said, Want it all?

No need for god no need for him. Just take my hand you be my bride just take that fruit put it inside. You snake I ate I true believed put rotten fruit inside of me. Oh Adam, please! You must believe that snake put it in front of me. Can I tell you something? Can I tell you a story?

Even the son of god had to die my darling Go on, say it. Jesus save me Jesus save me. Long goes the night. Longer the day. Teclo, your death will send me to my grave. Did she have pretty hair?

Was she soft-spoken? Was there our love there? I saw children through a fence, standing by blue canvas tents, I called to them, they moved like ghosts, gliding, silent and remote. A girl, whose mouth was a straight line, looked like a creature out of time. A grey boy, burnt by cigarettes, pushed his scarred hands through the fence. I found it difficult to breathe.

He said his school became a jail and armed men tore out fingernails of children tied with cord and wire. His face grew old before my eyes. And when I turned and tried to run I saw ten-thousand children were laid in lines, wrapped in white sheets along a godforsaken street. I prayed an angel from the clouds would free the children from their shrouds.

I prayed and waited for an age I waited but no angel came. Where have you gone Daniel, my youngest son? I keep expecting you to be here in your chair — sitting in your favourite chair. When you swam into the water I felt you leave through yawning miles. My heart slowed never to pick up again. Louis was my dearest friend fighting in the Anzac trench. Louis ran forward from the line and I never saw him again.

Twenty years on that hill. Nothing more than a pile of bones, but I think of him still. The school looks like a shit hole — does that look like a nice place? The super calls my name. He shoves me in a room. He calls two soldiers in. They clamp my head with irons. Their hands becoming fists. You will see us again.

You will remember this. They tie me up with ropes. They beat my legs with sticks. I cannot use my legs. They drag me to a desk. Behind it sits a man. Fingernails are on the floor.

He laughs and asks, What kind of freedom do you want? They push me down the stairs. Behind a cellar door, I hear two women howl. I see three men on racks. Their hands tied to their feet. Their faces pinched with clamps. Guards pulling at their teeth. They drag me to the gate. They dump me on the ground. The super laughs and says, Walk to your freedom now!

This image on repeat; A mouth that cannot speak. A huge force pressing in. A giant, looming fist. He came riding fast, like a phoenix out of fire-flames. He came dressed in black, with a cross bearing my name. He came bathed in light and splendour and glory. He said, Dance for me, fanciulla gentile.

He said, Laugh a-while, I can make your heart feel. He said, Fly with me, touch the face of the true god, and made me cry with joy at the depth of my love,. And my love will stay until the river bed runs dry, and my love lasts as long as the sun shines in blue sky, and I love him longer as each damn day goes, but the man is gone, and heaven only knows,.

Is he near? Is he far? So long day, so long night, oh lord, be near me tonight. Why did I come here? Please tell me again Why did you ask me? I long for, I long for I long for my home I long for a land where No man was known.

Oh love, you were a sickly child and how the wind knocked you down. Put on your spurs, swagger around in the desperate kingdom of love. Holy water cannot help you now. Your mysterious eyes cannot help you. Selling your reason will not bring you through the desperate kingdom of love.

I learn from you how to hide from the desperate kingdom of love. As soon as I am left alone the devil wanders into my soul and I pretend to myself — I pretend to myself. I go out to the old mile-stone insanely expecting you to come there knowing that I wait for you there — that I wait for you there.

Come here at once! Come on a night with no moon because all of my being is now pining — all of my being is now pining. Let me give you a little kiss, and he came knelt down before him and fell upon his knees said, I will give you gold and mountains if you stay awhile with me,. There inside the garden they kissed and the sun rose and he walked a little further and he found he was alone and the wind it gathered round him he was thinking of his sins he was looking at his songbird and he was looking at his wings.

How is our glorious country ploughed? Not by iron ploughs — our land is ploughed by tanks and feet marching. How is our glorious country sown? Not with wheat and corn — How is our glorious land bestowed?
