Full White Moon Album Lyrics

As requested:

Full White Moon:

I will see you when the leaves turn brown
Lost inside a full white moon
Remember my eyes in their passing phase
We'll fall behind someday
Remember my eyes in their passing phase

Have you lost reason, has reason held you
Lost inside a full white moon
Remember my eyes in their passing phase
We'll fall behind someday
Remember my eyes in their passing phase

Watch the leaves turn brown
Child, as I lay you down
In the falling leaves
Child, won't you wait for me

My thoughts have strayed long apologized
Lost inside a full white moon
Do you hear me sing when I sing to you
Do you hear my words when I sing to you



We're Going to Hell

You just ease on out the door babe, I will ease into your mind
Entwined in every breathe you take like a grape is to a vine
My fingers paint the morning light stretched out before me on your skin
My breathe grows hot, your hair stands up, I lean back you take it in

Everybody wants to paint a picture
Everybody's got a story to tell
Everybody's on this road to nowhere
Sunday comes around, ain't no sermon to be found
I guess we're going to Hell

Well I can see your silhouette, outlined by the road
I'll keep my hands upon the wheel and I'll let the nigh unfold
Now you say I'm addicted, but addiction ain't my thing
I'll ease my seat back, ease your mind, and I'm sure that you'll agree

Everybody wants to paint a picture
Everybody's got a story to tell
Everybody's on this road to nowhere
Sunday comes around, ain't no sermon to be found
I guess we're going to Hell

I dreamt I came to you last night, your eyes lit in the gray
With all the senses I've maintained, child, how could I stay away

Everybody wants to paint a picture
Everybody's got a story to tell
Everybody's on this road to nowhere
Sunday comes around, ain't no sermon to be found
I guess we're going to Hell



East Side Window

I can feel it in my bones, the darkness moving in
Every time I turn around I hear you scream again

That east side window, that east side window's growing dim
That east side window, that east side window's dark again
Build a fire and keep away, pray to God that they don't stay

Hide your child and lock your doors, the night time's getting gray
Every moment that you withhold is a lifetime taken away

That east side window, that east side window's growing dim
That east side window, that east side window's dark again
Build a fire and keep away, pray to God that they don't stay

Please have mercy on me oh lord, save my tortured soul
I dare not scream for fear that they will toss me in a hole

That east side window, that east side window's growing dim
That east side window, that east side window's dark again
Build a fire and keep away, pray to God that they don't stay



Come Forth Be Born

Ages
Come forth be born
Come forth be born
Come forth be born
Rivers
Let them run dry
Let them run dry
Let them run dry

I'll turn around some day
When you've gone away
Our glory days are laid to rest
The fire burns, I face the western day

Forth and forth, and on and on
A different path, a different song to learn
And someday you will turn
From me and walk away
Come forth be born my son
What's said is said, what's done is done your shame
Will surely wash away
Lord, this is what I pray

Daylight
It burns away
It burns away
It burns away
Your love
It conquers me
It conquers me
It conquers me

I'll turn around some day
When you've gone away
Our glory days are laid to rest
The fire burns, I face the western day

Forth and forth, and on and on
A different path, a different song to learn
And someday you will turn
From me and walk away
Come forth be born my son
What's said is said, what's done is done your shame
Will surely wash away
Lord, this is what I pray



Like a Rose

I watched it rain for three goddamn nights, but not a drop in the day
I always felt that I should leave, but always wanted to stay
Well you snuck into my mind like a dream, into my mind like a dream
It's funny how the way things are are never how they seem

Well I saw you cross the way like a rose, cross the way like a rose
Child, you change the way a river flows, the way a river flows
Now you don't know what you've given to me, what you've given to me
You make a rich man beg, you bring a strong man straight to his knees
Straight to his knees

I walked along the river's calm to listen just in time
To hear the winds of change rolling in with the autumn's chime
Now a path runs through my heart, a season's time gives away
Child, don't say a word if there ain't nothing to say
Nothing to say

Well I saw you cross the way like a rose, cross the way like a rose
Child, you change the way a river flows, the way a river flows
Now you don't know what you've given to me, what you've given to me
You make a rich man beg, you bring a strong man straight to his knees
Straight to his knees

Silence is a scarlet moon in the evening sky
Silence is a whispered thought left out to hang and dry
Fire is the passion that would quench my soul
A demon on my perilous stage that I would overthrow

Well I saw you cross the way like a rose, cross the way like a rose
Child, you change the way a river flows, the way a river flows
Now you don't know what you've given to me, what you've given to me
You make a rich man beg, you bring a strong man straight to his knees
Straight to his knees



Hangman

Hangman don't wanna walk that line
So he'll rewrite the rules and they'll suit him fine
As for every one of you, well you better learn to behave
Hangman he don't care much for change
Got the inside scoop and a diamond ring
Got a brand new bus and a presidential wave

Don't you think it gets old praying for your rain
Say that things have changed, but they look just the same
Say we gotta bend, but we don't bend that way
Hangman, you're gonna hang yourself someday

Hangman can't afford a thing he's got
He's got a hand of playing cards, and his hand is hot
With and interest rate that will bring you to your knees
Hangman's got himself a new t.v.
Can't afford to pay the rent but the food is free
And he'll do just enough to keep his luxeries

Don't you think it gets old praying for your rain
Say that things have changed, but they look just the same
Say we gotta bend, but we don't bend that way
Hangman, you're gonna hang yourself someday

Hangman's driving an electric car
He's got his head held high like a movie star
But has no idea where electricity is made
Hangman wants us all to be the same
A one size fits all in a unique way
He's got everybody's problem, but just a few to blame

Don't you think it gets old praying for your rain
Say that things have changed, but they look just the same
Say we gotta bend, but we don't bend that way
Hangman, you're gonna hang yourself someday

Hangman fears what he does not know
He loves the pledge of allegiance and boarder patrol
He never knew who done it, but he swore that they would pay
Hangman's living the American dream
He's got a real bad feeling things ain't what they seem
But that's a feeling that he's gonna take right to his grave

Don't you think it gets old praying for your rain
Say the game has changed, but it's the game you made
Say the world will bend, and the world breaks away
Hangman you're gonna hang yourself some day



Broken Crown

The rubble's laying at my feet
Once again, I'm greeted by that sweet serenity
Oh, the good times, they'll come and go
This is one thing I've come to, I've come to know

I'm sitting in my ruined castle
And I'm wearing my broken crown
I don't remember the particular day
In which it all came down
Just the sound

A river's flowing through my mind

I'm hoping that it will wash your face away

Only the weak are left behind

There's no getting rid of me, no lord, I'm here to stay

I'm sitting in my ruined castle
And I'm wearing my broken crown
I don't remember the particular day
In which it all came down
Just the sound of silence



Queens Shall Cry

If I were younger I would climb that hill
If I were older I would be there still
Staring down, at this earth of dirt and steel
If I were stronger I would stand alone
If I were weaker I would turn and run
Looking for the place that I come from
Oblivious to the man that I've be come

It pulls at my heart
You know it calls my name
It tears a man apart
Just to feel this way
But if I grow tired
Oh child, won't you shake me awake

Beyond the mountains there lies blue and gold
Beyond the folklore and the days of old
Obvious, to the young and the unspoiled
Behind the curtain lies the smoke and mirrors
That had us fooled throughout all these years
Devious, and feeding off our fears
Courteous, of our sins, our prayers, our tears

It pulls at my heart
You know it calls my name
It tears a man apart
Just to feel this way
But if I grow tired
Oh child, won't you shake me awake

A child that dies of old age carries on

And to the sweetest voices he will run

Awaiting him, the mistress of the dawn

And so the legends become forged and told

Of men of valor and forgotten roads

Queens shall cry, and kings shall grow old

Love shall burn, and hearts shall grow cold

It pulls at my heart
You know it calls my name
It tears a man apart
Just to feel this way
But if I grow tired
Oh child, won't you shake me awake

The River

Don't go down to the river

Don't go down there my child I said

Don't go down to the river

Lord, my brother just drowned today

It happened down by the sandbar

It happened down by the ol river bank

It happened down by the sandbar

Lord, my brother just drowned today

Ice cold water

It just won't seem to leave me alone

Ice cold water

It just won't seem to leave me alone

I done told you once woman, you're better off staying at home

Jesus lord

The devil be on my trail

Jesus lord

The devil be on my trail

This night keeps on turnin, I'm forgetting bout my fear of hell

Muddy water

It's bound to just drag you down

Muddy water

It's bound to just drag you down

Well this river runs deep, and I reckon that he won't be found

Five Nights

An angel lays before me

With desperation in her eyes

Well she's put upon a pedestal

In which she's grown to despise

Her eyes have wandered from me

They've wandered once before

But the best things never come for free

So still I want her more

So child.....

An illusion of a paradise

I kept hoping it was real   

I'm a victim of my own device

A pain I never thought I'd have to feel

My shadow left me long ago

I've forgotten what it was all worth

But somehow I must surely know

To have it back I'd give anything on earth

So child

Child why won't you look at me

I said child

Child why won't you look at me

An undramatic ending, and unforgiving sky

I don't need no reason, trust me I'll be fine

But child

Child why won' you look at me

Hell, you got me round your finger, I don't know where to go

Easy on the details, I don't wanna know

But child

Child Why won't you look at me

Dirt Road

Give me a guitar, give me a dirt road

Give me a guitar, give me a dirt road

I got a lot on my mind that I wanna unload

So give me a guitar, give me a dirt road

I walked ten miles in the rain

I walked until I didn't feel no pain

I walked until I didn't feel a thing

I walked ten miles in the rain

Now that I look back

It wasn't all that bad

I remember all the good times

I should of had

I should of had

So give me a guitar, give me a dirt road

I don't want to wait til I'm gray and old

I don't care no more, let the story be told

Just give me a guitar, give me a dirt road
