Its Just Another Morning Here


The telephone is ringin' in the middle of the night
+
And I pull the bed clothes higher
+
Will it stop calling out if I turn on the light?
+
I'm afraid of these shadows here
+
'Cuz my past is truly frightening
+
And I'm afraid of the warmth in the down
+
Of a feathered heart in flight
+

[Chorus:]

+
It's just another morning here (it's morning)
+
It's just another morning here
+
It's just another morning here (it's morning)
+
And it's a miracle that it comes around
+
Every day of the year
+

The neighbors scream and their baby cries

+
I'm hiding in the corner
+
I won't be them, pray I won't be them one day
+
Maybe it's just the breath of August
+
So hot upon my shoulder
+
Or an open window for a winged heart
+
To fly away
+

[Chorus]

+

The telephone is ringin' in the middle of the night

+
I pull the bed clothes higher
+
Will it stop calling out if I turn on the light?
+
I'm afraid of these shadows here
+
'Cuz my past is truly frightening
+
And I'm afraid of the warmth in the down
+
Of a feathered heart in flight
+

[Chorus 2x to fade out]

Late Night Grande Hotel


I'm working on a morning flight to anywhere but here
+
I'm watching this evening fire burn away my tears
+
All my life I've left my troubles by the door
+
Leavin' is all I've ever known before
+

[Chorus:]

+
It's not the way you hold me
+
When the sun goes down
+
It's not the way you call my name that left me
+
Stranded on the ground
+
It's not the way you say you hear my heart
+
When the music ends
+
I am just learning how to fly away again
+
It's not the way you say you hear my heart
+
When the music ends
+
I am just learning how to fly away again
+

And maybe you were thinkin'

+
That you thought you knew me well
+
But, no one ever knows the heart of anyone else
+
I feel like Garbo in this late night grande hotel
+
Cause living alone is all I've ever done well
+

[Chorus 2x]

Its Too Late


You pace the pool and talk about it
+
I read my book and think about it
+
You've walked on water
+
As I'm turning the page
+
You say, "What's the intrigue here...
+
In reading when the sky is clear?"
+
You are in the sun
+
And I am always in the shade
+

[Chorus:]

+
It's too late to leave you
+
You know that I will never leave you
+
It's too late to know you
+
You don't like to be known
+
You would never hold me
+
I don't like to be held
+
I will always love you
+
In spite of myself
+

I can feel the weather changing

+
The leaves are tired and turned with anger
+
They fall around us like a veil
+
Of golden tears
+
You have never needed me
+
And I'm not good at being needed
+
This season will be leaving us
+
But we will still be here
+

[Chorus]

+

Do you miss me when I'm far away?

+
Do you save me for your rainy days?
+
Is my picture on the mantle...
+
Or is it in the fire?
+
It's odd the way the years fly by
+
They leave us standing side by side
+
You have been my mystery
+
And I've been your desire
+

[Chorus]

Fields Of Summer


I am fragile in the morning
+
I grow stronger in the day
+
I can sprint like a new spring doe
+
By the fall of the night
+
Love has chased me down
+
Through the cities and the towns
+
Until I stood beside the road
+
And let it pass me by
+
Like a fool I've missed the rain
+
Cuz I was crying
+

[Chorus:]

+
Then you are calling
+
Call my heart awake from years of slumber
+
And then I'm falling
+
Like a child head over heel
+
In fields of summer
+
Can you hold me?
+
Though I am inclined to
+
Leave my home and wander
+
Can you keep me...
+
Like a child head over heel
+
In fields of summer?
+
Fields of summer
+
Fields of summer
+
I am falling
+
Like a child head over heel
+
In fields of summer
+

Now that you have caught me

+
Are you sure you really want me?
+
Though I'm fragile as December
+
On your shoulder in the dawn
+
And when the day has made me stronger...
+
Can you satisfy my hunger?
+
When the night has come and I would race the moon
+
Across the sky...
+
Would you chase me through
+
Those open fields of summer
+

[Chorus]

+

Can you hold me?

+
Hold me?
+
Hold me?
+
Because I'm falling,
+
Like a child head over heel
+
In fields of summer
+

Heaven


I think I'll go to Heaven
+
There I will lay me down
+
Leave all the pain behind me
+
I'll bury it in the ground
+
Maybe they'll talk about me
+
I pray it won't be lies
+
I think I'll go to heaven
+
Heaven is in your eyes
+

I think I'll go to Heaven

+
I heard it's peaceful there
+
They don't allow your troubles
+
Everyone's had their share
+
And if I can be someone who
+
Never needs a disguise
+
Then maybe I'll go to Heaven
+
Heaven is in your eyes
+

People in Heaven never look back

+
Higher and higher
+
The past fades to black
+

I think I'll go to heaven

+
I'll sail on into the night
+
I'll watch as I set my soul free
+
Watch as my heart takes flight
+
Maybe I am too simple
+
Maybe I am too wise
+
And maybe I'll go to Heaven
+
Heaven is in your eyes
+

The Power Lines


Nobody seems to care about you
+
With your tool case by the roadside
+
There beneath the power lines
+
Or the pallor of your skin
+
Paled beneath fluorescent lights
+
In a Greyhound station's cruel midnight
+
Where you can't afford the ride
+
[Chorus:]
+
Oh, the power lines
+
They go from sea to sea
+
They carry voices
+
Love from him to me
+
The power lines you fall beneath
+
Are the rainbows you can't climb
+
And you will not climb the power lines
+
You are lost beneath the power lines
+
There's no place that you haven't been
+
And no place that you call your home
+
There's no place that you cannot go
+
With the gift within your hands
+
And the tools to build another's dream
+
That connects them to the power lines
+
You do not feel you need
+
[Chorus: Repeat 2X]
+

Hometown Streets


Everybody packs their goals
+
And sails away for better shores
+
I have seen times
+
My sails have held a brilliant shine
+
I hear tell that dreams come true
+
Along these crowded avenues
+
But, my peace of mind
+
Is a place I go when I close my eyes
+

[Chorus:]

+
I need a hometown street where the boys are pretty
+
And a friend is still a friend
+
I need a hometown street where the love you're given
+
Surely comes back 'round again
+

Hometown streets are paved in gold

+
With faces that you've always known
+
But, you'll never see them
+
Until you pack your dreams and leave them
+
The one I loved has moved away
+
It's hot in this city
+
Hey, it's always late
+
Here in this place
+
Love doesn't get the time of day
+

[Chorus]

+

Bridge:

+
I can't remember
+
What I came here for
+
I'm gonna pull up my anchor
+
And sail for shore
+

[Chorus]

Down N Outer


(Nanci Griffith)
+
I once was a lot like you
+
We share a dream I couldn't make come true
+
I was a child who wrote my name
+
Across a frosted window pane
+
And there are jobs that I might hold
+
If they'd just let me through the door
+
Without a shower and new clothes
+
That I can ill afford
+
[Chorus:]
+
Can you spare the time?
+
Can you spare a dime?
+
Can you look me in the eye?
+
I'm down 'n' out
+
And I am lonely
+
Do you ever think of me on
+
Sunday?
+
No. I don't live
+
Across the water
+
Hey, I live right here
+
On this corner
+
...just a bank account away from
+
America
+
I won't hurt your family
+
I don't want a house there on your street
+
And I know you think that I'm...
+
As lazy as a hobo's sigh
+
Now, you call me down 'n' outer
+
If there's a way out...
+
I've not found 'er
+
I only want to earn my piece of America
+
[Chorus]
+
I'm just a bank account away from
+
America

One Blade Shy Of A Sharp Edge


You honk the horn on your Mercedes Benz
+
I've rolled up my window so you're honkin' again
+
Your stereo could drive the devil out
+
Hey, you drink too much and you talk too loud
+
But you think you got it made
+
Think you got it made
+
Think you got it made
+
When you're one blade shy of a sharp edge
+

Republican is the way you vote

+
You've got a sticker on your bumper that's how I know
+
And you think true love is around this bend
+
You've been around the bend since the age of ten
+
But you think you've got it made
+
Think you've got it made
+
Think you've got it made
+
When you're one blade shy of a sharp edge
+

Now, I'm a little too old for your toupee curls

+
I'm a full grown woman and you're lookin' for girls
+
Hey, it's Saturday night so go on down the road
+
I'll cancel you out when I go to the polls
+
But you think you got it made
+
Think you got it made
+
Think you got it made
+
When you're one blade shy of a sharp edge
+

Hey, hey...

The Sun Moon And Stars


The sun, the moon and the stars
+
They make the wind blow
+
It took me twenty years to understand
+
Lost to me are how the lives of friends go
+
Like autumn leaves in Oklahoma wind
+
But it made me strong to be on my own
+
It never did me no harm to live all alone
+
Oh, but now and then
+
In the color of the evening
+
Drunken in a barroom
+
With a fan turning
+
I've come to miss a few
+

This afternoon was cloudy and the rains came

+
Third day of my first day San Miguel
+
Seems lately that I'm doubling as Storm bait
+
I've been followed like a shadow through the dell
+
But it made me strong to be on my own
+
It never did me no harm to live all alone
+
Oh, but now and then
+
In the color of the evening
+
Drunken in a barroom
+
With a fan turning
+
I've come to miss a few
+

Dear friends and relations

+
See what I have done
+
I've gathered all my fingers in one place
+
They breathe a breath that's deadly stale
+
Since they tooled a song for me
+
I guess mechanics never really set the pace
+
Cause I'm back and I'm strong
+
I'm here on my own
+
It never did me no harm
+
To live all alone
+
Oh, but now and then
+
In the color of the evening
+
Drunken in a barroom
+
With a fan turning
+
I've come to miss a few

It took me twenty years to understand
+
But lost to me are how the lives of friends go
+
Like autumn leaves in Oklahoma wind
+
...oh, but now and then
+
It's in the color of the evening
+
Drunken in a barroom
+
With a fan turning
+
I'll come to miss a few

The sun, the moon and the stars
+
They make the wind blow
+
It took me twenty years to understand
+
Lost to me are how the lives of friends go
+
Like autumn leaves in Oklahoma wind
+
But it made me strong to be on my own
+
It never did me no harm to live all alone
+
Oh, but now and then
+
In the color of the evening
+
Drunken in a barroom
+
With a fan turning
+
I've come to miss a few
+

This afternoon was cloudy and the rains came

+
Third day of my first day San Miguel
+
Seems lately that I'm doubling as Storm bait
+
I've been followed like a shadow through the dell
+
But it made me strong to be on my own
+
It never did me no harm to live all alone
+
Oh, but now and then
+
In the color of the evening
+
Drunken in a barroom
+
With a fan turning
+
I've come to miss a few
+

Dear friends and relations

+
See what I have done
+
I've gathered all my fingers in one place
+
They breathe a breath that's deadly stale
+
Since they tooled a song for me
+
I guess mechanics never really set the pace
+
Cause I'm back and I'm strong
+
I'm here on my own
+
It never did me no harm
+
To live all alone
+
Oh, but now and then
+
In the color of the evening
+
Drunken in a barroom
+
With a fan turning
+
I've come to miss a few
+

The sun, the moon and the stars

+
They make the wind blow
+
It took me twenty years to understand
+
But lost to me are how the lives of friends go
+
Like autumn leaves in Oklahoma wind
+
...oh, but now and then
+
It's in the color of the evening
+
Drunken in a barroom
+
With a fan turning
+
I'll come to miss a few

San Diego Serenade


Never saw the morning till I stayed up all night
+
Never saw the sunshine till I turned out the light
+
Never saw my home town till I stayed away too long
+
I never heard the melody till I needed the song
+

Never saw the white line till I was leavin' you behind

+
Never knew I needed you till I was caught up in a bind
+
And I never spoke I love you till I cursed you in vain
+
Never felt my heart strings until I nearly went insane
+

Never saw the East coast until I moved to the West

+
I never saw the moonlight till it shone off your breast
+
And I never saw your heart till someone tried to steal it away
+
Never saw your tears till they rolled down your face
+

I never saw the morning till I stayed up all night

+
Never saw the sunshine till you turned out the light
+
Never saw my home town till I stayed away too long
+
I never heard the melody till I needed the song
+
