1. _ Nullarbor Song
When the fire burns out here
It's brighter than the city lights
Warmer than a heart of gold
The dingo's howl just to break the silence
The sun comes up just to break the cold
Last night I woke
With the stars looking back at me
Swallowing the sky
I felt no anger, I felt no shame
I felt no reason to cry
If I'm not here in the morning
I'll cry a river of tears
But I'll learn to live in a new town
But my heart is staying here
When it's quiet out here
A hundred miles away
You can hear the train on the line
The whistle blows just to break the silence
I wave just to break the time
I close my eyes
I think of runnin' water
I think of runnin' away
But the fires burnt to ashes
And it's darker than before
But I can see as clear as day

2. _ This Mountain
Well a wise man once said to me
If your heart don't break you won't be free
I'm as free as a bird
Flying out over flying out over the sea
I call out to the wind
No one comes to let me in
I hear the thunder
The weight on my shoulders
The weight up on my shoulders crushing me
Shine down on this mountain
Rain down on my face
Call out to the river
To wash me out
To was me out of this place
Well I wish that I was a sailorman
With the wheel of the ship held in my hand
But I don't like the water
I'm more like the anchor
I wish I was the anchor in me
Sometimes I wish I was a sin
So the ones I love wouldn't let me ion
I wouldn't have to try to find the answers
To give |
3. _ Falling Into You
I've been crushed like paper
I've been washed like rain
I've been scared of sleeping
In case I wake up the same
I've been broken and battered
I've been lost in my home
I've been cryin' a river
I've been cold as a stone
But falling into you
It carries me far enough away
And everything you do
It lightens up my darkness side of day
I just hope that the wind
Doesn't blow you away
I've been left unattended
I've been thrown like a ball
I've been rolled with the punches
And I didn't feel a thing at all
I've been crossed by the wires
I've been blinded by the light
I've been burnt by the fire
I've been kept out of sight

4. _ A Little Bit Lonesome
I'm a little bit lonesome
I'm a little bit blue
I can't stop crying
Since I lost you
There's a pain in my heart
Like a lightening bolt
I'm a little bit lonesome
It's all your fault
Well everytime I wake up, I got you rolling in my head
Your eyes are lookin' at me but they're seeing her instead
I've got a big fat broken heart with a pain
Sharper than a steel-plated knife
We thanks to you these lonely blues
Are the best things in my life
Well the last time that I saw you she had hold of your hand
You waved across the street at me so I turned away and ran
When I got home I got a honktonk song
I played it til my eyes went red
I grabbed a glass I said |
5. _ Crossfire
I found the answer but I never liked it
I took my baby to the 10 step platform
I tied a reef knot on twice with the blindfold
I whisper 20 steps and point direction
Crossfire doesn't burn you
It only hurts when it gets you in the heart
If you don't hate me you'll learn to
I thought I had it clear from the start
I don't have a heart
I call my baby just to hang up on the phone
I take a rain check and I never ever check the rain
I leave the carton out for hours on summer days
I took a course on how to break the most hearts

6. _ Million Tears
Take my hand
Break my stride
Make me smile
For everytime I've cried
Hold my heart
In the palm of your hand
Don't listen to it breakin'
Just listen to the band
Do you wanna ride in my car
Its parked out on the street
Or just stay with me a while
Before I fall asleep
Take these tears
Wash your skin
I'm havin' trouble breathin'
Since you walked in
My hands are tied
My head is reelin'
My eyes have cried
A million tears
From wishin' you were here
All my life
I've welcomed pain
I've made up more excuses
To bring it back again
Now I'm here
And I'll drink to the shame
I'll drink to the madness
That made me this way

7. _ Runaway Train
I'm gonna take you down to the railway line
I'm gonna take you down to the railway line
I'm gonna take ya where your heart won't break ya
And the water tastes like wine
I'm gonna take you down to the railway line
We won't take money, we won't take the long way round
We won't take money, we won't take the long way round
We won't take money, we'll live off honey
When the train goes underground
We won't take money, we won't take the long way round
I'll drive faster
You'll hold tighter
I'll get wild
You'll get wilder
I'll make thunder
You'll make rain
We'll go down to the runaway train
Clear that track we're coming on down the line
Clear that track we're coming on down the line
Clear that track they won't take us back
They can stick it where the sun don't shine
Clear that track we're coming on down the line

8. _ If I Were You
If I was good
I'd tell everyone I know
If I was free
I wouldn't be so keen to go
If I was wrong
I would take it like a man
If I was smart
I would get out while I can
If I was broken
I would probably let it be
If I was dying
I wouldn't go out quietly
If I was lost
Well my heart would feel the same
If I was honest
I would probably be ashamed
But if I were you
I would notice me
If I were you
I would wait for me
If I were you
I would easily hold me and say
It's all gonna be OK
If I was rich
I would spend it on my own
If I was dignified
I'd only smoke at home
If I was dark
I would only dress in black
If I was chosen
I would gladly give it back
It's not for you to judge
From all this kind of stuff
I'm only half of what you see

9. _ Not Pretty Enough
Am I not pretty enough
Is my heart too broken
Do I cry too much
Am I too outspoken
Don't I make you laugh
Should I try it harder
Why do you see right through me
I live
I breathe
I let it rain on me
I sleep
I wake
I try hard not to break
I crave
I love
I've waited long enough
I try as hard as I can
chorus
I laugh
I feel
I make believe it's real
I fall
I freeze
I pray down on my knees
I hope
I stand,
I take it like a man
I try as hard as I can
chorus
why do you see
why do you see
why do you see
why do you see right through me

10. _ On A Bad Day
Everytime my tears
Have ever fallen
I keep 'em in my pocket
For a rainy day
So when it's pouring
I take them outside
I let the rain start washin'
My tears away
But on a bad day
When hearts are breaking
There's not enough rain to carry
All the tears away
Everytime I'm blue
I take my feeling
I hold it tighter
And I don't let go
When the sky gets whiter
And the air is colder
I throw my feeling
To the falling snow
But on a bad day
When hearts are breaking
There's not enough snow to carry
All the blue away
Everytime my heart
My heart starts breaking
I take this pain
And I hold it down
And I wait for the wailing
When the wind is comin'
And my pain is blowin'
Through another town
But on a bad day
When hearts are breaking
There's not enough wind to carry
All the pain away
Everytime my tears
Have ever fallen
I keep 'em in my pocket
For a rainy day

11. _ Still Feeling Blue
Time can pass and time can heal
But it don't ever pass the way I feel
You went away a long time ago
And why you left I never knew
The lonely days and lonely nights
I guess the world knows I aint feeling right
And when your gone the hours pass so slow
And now I'm still feeling blue
And baby since you walked out of my life
I never felt so low
Can't help but wonder why you had to go
There are many girls but I can't say
They come and go but still I feel this way
And ever since the day you said goodbye
No one treats me like you used to do
I hope your out and happy now
And doing up the town 'cos you know how
Everytime I hear your name I want to die
And now I'm still feeling blue

12. _ Barricades and Brickwalls
Barricades and brickwalls won't keep me from you
You can tie me down on the railroad track
You can let that freight train lose
Iron bars and big ole cars
Won't run me out of town
I'll be damned if you're not my man
Before the sun goes down
You can chain me down
On the edge of town
You can leave me there to die
But the railroad track
Will bring me back
When the lonesome whistle cries
You can lock me out
You can scream and shout
You can try to change your name
But by the end of the day
I'll take you away
Like a force 10 hurricane

13. _ I Still Prey
I still cry for Baby Jesus
And I still pray when I'm alone
And when I'm lost
He'll come to find me
Because he died to save my soul
When I can't walk he's there to carry
When I speak he hears my words
When I wake and I have nothing
He sends me gold, frankincense and myrrh
When I cry my tears of sorrow
When my heart will only ache
And if I'm troubled when I'm sleeping
He will hold me until I wake
