i call your name
i looked for you in the bitter wind
i looked for you in the summer air
i looked for you on every sidewalk
i looked for you but you weren't there
over the mountain
i call your name
over the mountain
i call, i call your name
if i cry, will you hear me then?
will you cup your hands, will you catch my tears?
if i cry will you cup your hands?
will you drink my salty tears?
over the mountain
i call your name
over the mountain
i call, i call your name
if i laugh will you let it go?
will you let it out, will you let me know?
if i laugh will you let it grow...
will you roll with me on the floor?
over the mountain
i call your name
over the mountain
i call, i call your name
i looked for you on the crowded streets
i looked for you in the sleepy towns
i looked for you in every doorway
hoping one day you'd come around
over the mountain
i call your name
over the mountain
i call, i call your name

butterfly
butterfly
land on me
pretty butterfly
land on me
chasing off the shadows
left behind when you were here
looking for a good dream
waiting for the sky to clear
butterfly
land on me
pretty butterfly
land on me
blinking in the sunlight
airing out my winter clothes
putting on some color
resting on the open rose...
i've been washing off
all your lies
standing on the edge
while the waters rise
butterfly
land on me
pretty butterfly
land on me

love is a hammer
how you do what you do
and sleep at night
when you say what you pray
people fight
love is a hammer
love is a hammer in your hand
telling lies well disguised
a jesus face
money down underground
save me a place
love is a hammer
love is a hammer in your hand
read a line chapter-verse
what is true?
who i am who i love
bothers you
love is a hammer
love is a hammer in your hand
got the book worked it out
cradle to the grave
roll the stone let him out
nobody's safe
when love is a hammer
love is a hammer in your hand

between girl and gone
grab the clothes from the line
there's a storm comin' in
all the little birds are aflyin'
tryin to reach home in this wind
i stand at the window
i stand at the window
somewhere between girl and gone
somewhere between here and movin' on
tell me that story again
about ukiah in the rain
tell me that story once again
about waiting in the kitchen
for the fruit train
i stand at the mirror
i stand at the mirror
somewhere between girl and gone
somewhere between here and movin' on
there's a little one on this plane
her momma says 'don't forget to fall asleep soon'
she's laughing at everything
makin up stories for the moon
i stare out the window
i stare out the window
somewhere between girl and gone
somewhere between here and movin' on

for love
that guy shouts like caesar
makes his woman carry water and wine
to win her heart he pleased her
then he clipped her wings so she couldn't fly
last night i was useless
i was so mean to my love
he knows all my excuses
some day they may not be enough
enough for love --- enough for love
now she's walkin' on the balls of her feet
lighter than she's ever been
she sees all the colors in the streets
she doesn't believe in sin
she says that's not love --- that's not love
you can melt the snow with a birdsong
heal a hurt with a laughing mouth
and when the whole world's gone wrong
let it in, let it out
and say that's for love
that's for love

to colorado
when i go to colorado
i hold my heart out in my hand
there's a town up in the mountains
where the people understand me
where they hold me like a mother
when when i'm weaving like a drunk
whenever i need shelter
that's where i'm gonna run
eedle e ya ya ya ya...
and now i don't remember winter
or any shiver in the cold
i'm laying out my blanket
resting on the summer's gold
and this road is like a river
and this car is like a boat
with my darling here beside me
on and on we float
eedle e ya ya ya ya...
when i go to colorado
holding my heart out in my hand
for a town up in the mountains
where the people understand me
where they hold me like a lover
when i'm stumbling lost and drunk
whenever i need shelter
that's where i'm gonna run
eedle e ya ya ya ya...

lonesome
driving out of your town when i
didn't wanna go
last night with the lights turned down
and supper cookin' slow
sitting around your table
drinkin' whisky and wine
singing songs for an old friend
who needs a lullaby
it's alright, i got you here in my head
it's alright, i hold you here in my heart
i't a good thing i got out when i did
'cause you make me lonesome for home
we're rollin' through nebraska
crows are in the corn
farmers at the harvest
taming one more dusty morning
me, i blame tomorrow
and that late bright sun
got me thinkin bout it all again
and missing everyone
it's alright, i got you here in my head
it's alright, i hold you here in my heart
i't a good thing i got out when i did
'cause you make me lonesome for home
i said i'd call on sunday
guess i say that a lot
and i don't know just what happened
but i'm sorry i forgot
i wake before i want to
and curse the dawning sky
you said 'these days are gonna haunt you'
and now i know why
it's alright, i got you here in my head
it's alright, i hold you here in my heart
it's a good thing i got out when i did
'cause you make me lonesome for home
i won't be so lonsome now
not so lonesome
you're with me
everywhere i go...

the mark
it was a gift she could not keep
nor bear to give away
she threw it out into the snow
and there it left a mark
and there it left a mark
i told you once i would not lie
you laughed and called me fool
but now you see that i was right
and everything leaves a mark
and everything leaves a mark
you pass me on some distant road
we blink and look away
i swear to you one day we'll know
that everyone leaves a mark
that everyone leaves a mark
so what if life is just a dream
where no one ever wakes
we touch each other one by one
and always leave a mark
and always leave a mark

let me down easy
let me down easy - oh, take it slow
let me down easy, if you're gonna let me down
i gave up everything for you
my house, my faithful wife
one strong wind and we're through
i should be sailin through this time of life
let me down easy - oh, take it slow
let me down easy, if you're gonna let me down
you told me lots of sugared lies
you said i was the one you needed
i listened to your whispered sighs
now i'm the one who's pleading
let me down easy - oh, take it slow
let me down easy, if you're gonna let me down
i'm going out for a walk
i'm going down to the bar
it does no good to talk and talk
i can't be anywhere you are
let me down easy - oh, take it slow
let me down easy, if you're gonna let me down
i guess i really shouldn't moan
i made my bed so there i'll lay
i'm not afraid to be alone
i'm just not sure today's the day
let me down easy - oh, take it slow
let me down easy, if you're gonna let me down

your rainy day
look up in the sky
big cloud rollin' over
darker than any eye
you better run for cover now
is this what you've been waiting for?
everything has turned to grey
is this what you've been saving for?
here's your rainy day
your pockets are full
your needs are many
this house is cold
your arms are empty now
is this what you've been waiting for?
everthing has turned to grey
is this what you've been saving for?
here's your rainy day
all that was close
is very far away
all that you were
is not who you are today
is this what you've been waiting for?
everything has turned to grey
is this what you've been saving for?
here's your rainy day

at the end of the road
i'm nobody's mother
but i'm a pretty good friend
i got a wounded heart
that's finally started to mend
at the end of the road i'll see you
maybe you'll miss me
maybe you won't
you said you were sorry
but i didn't believe you
now i'll see you at the end of the road
you planted a dark seed
it took for a while
till i pulled it up
till somebody made me smile
at the end of the road i'll see you
maybe you love me
and maybe you don't
you kept silent
while i kept cryin
so i'll see you at the end of the road
no making excuses
where is there to go?
you say time will heal
but this time it's not so
at the end of the road i'll see you
maybe you'll know me
maybe you won't
your love for me
was weaker than pride
so now i'll see you at the end of the road

everytime the sun goes low
maple and cherry, here in the deep
lay down your blankets, now go to sleep
dogs in the hollow, makin' a noise
everytime the sun goes low
string and bright paper - tied together
high in the window, so it can turn
here in the twilight, it'll surprise you
everytime the sun goes low
it's quiet in the house
it's quiet in the house
this is a good fire, let the winds blow
i look at you love, and then i know
here in your long arms - i can find rest
everytime the sun goes low
& it's quiet in the house
it's quiet in the house
such a grey morning, i woke up blue
where would i be if i didn't find you?
there is no sorrow, your love can't heal
everytime the sun goes low
