Her name was Jane Know her name They others they Hadn't a clue She praises the moon And Johnny thought He knew it all He winked at Jane and hollard a call Johnny was dead by the end of fall I asked Jane one night On down by the river Do you ever get weary? Do you ever quiver? While swimming in the dark Swimming in the dark x3 No I'm not afraid To find my way In the absence of light At the end of the day Because the moon it shines And it speaks to me It shows me things Others don't want to see She's got Legs as long as the pine She's got Lips as red as blood She's got Bones to make her bread She's got The Devils curly hair x3

Another Day 03:19
Lying in your bed With your own bed friend Paul and Susie They always said We'll love each other till the day we die And we'll make some kids And we'll bake apple pie And we'll buy a little house And we'll get a car But why's it gotta be so damn hard Why's it gotta be so damn hard Paul had a job He traveled about Susie had a job She worked from home But time it passed and the kids got old And they were left with an empty home It'll be alright It's gonna be okay We just gotta look to brand new day We just gotta look for another way Paul and Susie They had a son He ran away from His only home And he's been trying so damn hard To write a new chapter With a broken heart And he wants to be like his ma Susie He wants to be like his pa Like he He wants to be like his pa Like he

She's the kinda girl That doesn't know I look at her When we're alone And she draws herself So bittersweet She means much more Than that to me And I'm the kinda man That doesn't see His reflection Is a mighty sea And she never feels Quite at home I can't be there While you roam

Him and I 03:17
What a feeling it is To peer in the mirror And see someone else So much clearer But him and I we share the same name Him and I we have the same brain Him and I we have history History The history of me x2 But I can't tell If he's real or not When I look at him The clock it stops But what he says is always so mean I can see him now I see him in my dreams He reminds me of things I've seen Things I've seen Of the people I've been x2 There are those that say From past lives you pay For the things once done For the dead mans weight But I don't know what he has done To deserve what I have become His pale blue eyes they stare back at me They stare back at me They glare with envy He wants to be free

The fire in my mind Oh it waists my time Oh the fire in my mind (x2) I'm waiting for the day until Joe leaves He headed for the prairie, I'm down on my knees And could you tell me girl, tell me now Is it worth the wait For that golden plow The fire in my mind Oh it waists my time Oh the fire in my mind (x2) I heard you were going to the Northern lands And while you're away, I'll be making my plans And when you're dipping toes on windy docks I'll be thinking of her And watching the clock The fire in my mind Oh it waists my time Oh the fire in my mind (x2) My she's a flower, she's one of a kind So I'm not giving up, I'm not cutting the line I'm not the kinda man to send bad luck and thorns I just want you and your man to be torn

Clothesline 01:41
Time will dry Like clothes on a line Our hot tears Our hot tears And she said I'll see ya at Our reunion In the 30 years And we fell Out of place When we made Our mistakes Because I said The wrong thing And she took The flowers too late
