Sad [Season of the Reason]
Lead Vocal: Glockler
This seems like the craziest part of the journey
It's always the prettiest time of the year
The snow's falling down I can watch it for hours
The new year will soon be here
I don't want to look at the past and be sad
There were plenty of good times and more to be had
I hope that I can see it
This seems like the prettiest time of the season
It's always the craziest time of the year
And she's had enough of my sorries and reasons
And she's had enough of my doubts and my fears
I don't want to know all the wrongs that I've done
cause every new day has a new setting sun.
I hope that I get through it
{chorus}
Now I've got a reason to tell you,
You've got a reason to know
I've got a reason to tell you
What you should know.
And I, I've got a reason to tell you,
You've got a reason to know
I've got a reason to tell you what you should know.
It seems like the craziest part of my lifetime
It's always the craziest time of the year
She's had enough of my sorries and reasons
She's had enough of my doubts and my fears, yeah
{chorus}
Same Old River (Sam Bush)
Lead Vocal: Genauer
Wish I was an injun
On a painted pony so fast
No one could ever catch me
Or get caught up in my past
I'd ride across many rivers
Use many moons to tell the time
And i'd tell all the other warriors
Many moons ago this was mine, all mine
{chorus}
Same ol river, same ol sea
Same ol water rushin over me
Same ol moonm same ol sun
Same ol race that we've always run
Same ol race that we've always run
I wish I was a pirate
I'd sail the ocean blue
Way before the big liners
Started sailin there too
I'd bury most of my treasure
So I'd leave a big hole
The only real sense of pleasure that I give
Is that I'd sail free of my soul
{chorus}
I wish I was a slave
Doesn't really matter what kind
I'd say a prayer for fallen angels
And try and stay free in mind
Then when no one was lookin
Well I'd drop my harvest plow
And find my own contemporaries
And wipe the sweat from their brow
{chorus}
Wish I was an outlaw
Runnin from the laws of time
No vigilante against the seasons
I can't help but rewind
I'd always carry my revolver
Steady and fast by my side
Id rob a train bound for glory
Cause I thought I needed a ride
{chorus}
Same ol race that we've always run ...
So many things I ain't never done ...
The Ballad of Samuel Aging
Lead Vocal: Genauer
Samuel Aging Spalding was from Spokane
Right around the corner from the church
And just above his temples he has fallen
Hear him pray, hear him pray
Dipped his pen in ink and stayed up writing
half that night and the following day
Breathing smoke and doing coke
And fighting to stay awake
To stay awake
A thousand chandeliers have been there shining
In the country of a cold sleep
He might've been steered to a faith that was blinding
Instead of stumbling in his own deceit.
Stumbling in his own deceit.
Many bells appearing as he laid there
From the church and spells and curses on his bed
Reflecting on a life devoid of feelin
They hurt his head
Hurt his head
You bestow your blessing on the heads of the living
His words are like a soft bell
Listen to the dead voice and the silence that is ringing
Like an echo in a dying well
Samuel, think I've said too much
Samuel, there's always something there behind you
Samuel, my sentence dead five times before it hit the ground
And it hit the ground. {repeat}
Well he raked his eyes and read what he had laid down
His tongue was dry his eyes were moist and red.
Exhausted from the work, he went and laid down
The writing read, the writing read
Run, walk, or stagger to your old life's hanging
Doesn't matter if it feels right
Funnel yourself thru to the world that you're planning
Writing on the insight
Riding on your insight.
Spells and curses
Bells and churches
Peeling bells
A silence swells
{repeat 3x}
See To
Lead Vocal: Trafton
"Why can't you just see," she asked me.
Seein how it is I guess.
Let's don't carry it on
Let's don't let it roll on
Let's just let it be where it belongs
Time was when I could find my way
Got my head in the sand these days
Let's don't carry it on
Let's don't let it roll on
Let's just let it all be where it belongs
{chorus}
If you need me to,
I could see it through
If you need to,
I could see to
Let it go
"Why can't you just see"
she asked me
See it how it is I guess
Let's don't carry it on
Let's don't let it roll on
Let's just let it all be where it belongs
We've been sitting here since time out of mind
We could sit right here and time our lives
{chorus 2x}
If you need me to,
I can see it through
If you need me to,
I can see right through
{repeat}
Sexy Sadie (Lennon/McCarthy)
Lead Vocal: Glockler
Sexy Sadie, what have you done,
You made a fool of everyone.
You made a fool of everyone.
Sexy Sadie, oh, what have you done?
Sexy Sadie. you broke the rules,
You laid it down for all to see.
You laid it down for all to see.
Sexy Sadie, oh, you broke the rules.
One sunny day, the world was waiting for a lover.
She came along to turn on every one.
Sexy Sadie, the greatest of them all.
Sexy Sadie, how did you know,
The world was waiting just for you,
The world was waiting just for you,
Sexy Sadie, how did you know?
Sexy Sadie, you'll get yours yet,
However big you think you are,
However big you think you are,
Sexy Sadie, oh you'll get yours yet.
We gave her everything we owned
Just to sit at her table,
Just as her smile would lighten everything.
Sadie, the latest and the greatest of them all
Shift My Step
Lead Vocal: Glockler
It's time to stop and look what you're doing
Before you take another step further
It's time to cool down, absorb what's around you
Your life is spinnin out of control
When I'm near you I could still feel the spark of your power
I hope that I wrong but I don't think I am
Are you still where you once meant to be?
Will everything still fall into place?
If you look back for a closer look at the picture
Wouldn't you agree that you've fallen off track?
I always thought that it was funny how you had all the answers
WIth that shit eating grin I gotta still hear you say
{chorus}
You're not gonna break me, not gonna shake me
I'm gonna shift my step
{repeat}
When we were younger the sky was the limit
Now it seems you're moving on empty faith
You hold your head up, but me you're not fooling
I can see reality there in your face
When I'm near you I could still feel the spark of your power
I hope that I wrong but I don't think I am
You just say . . .
{chorus, repeat 8x, last 4 over below}
Take my time
Walk the line
Won't be long
Movin' on
{repeat}
Ship That Won't Float [Don't Know Why]
Lead Vocal: Genauer
Old man, sittin by the water
Hardened son, think you can make it too far
You have a life, a wife and a daughter
Are you lost?
Do you know where you are?
See that boat, goin down goin down
See that boat it carries infinite lives.
Have a seat and I'll tell you bout it,
Have a seat and I'll tell you some lies
I don't know why.
I don't know why.
Swim aboard so for now we keep on turnin
But watch your step it's a long way to fall
Somewhere someone is hurting
Their tired teardrop a silent call
There is a bond between mother and child
There is a bond behind someone and you
You try to hold the eyes of your father
You live your life and that's what you do.
I don't know why.
I don't know why.
{chorus}
There's a place I don't know where
Takin my time gonna get myself there
And there's a time I don't know when
Fortune is calling you to get there again.
Young boy, hidin in the corner
A big old man smile comin down his face
Young girl hidin in the corner
Someone's child, someone's fate
There is a bond between mother and child
There is a bond behind someone and you
You try to hold the eyes of your father
You live your life and that's what you do.
I don't know why
I don't know why.
{chorus}
The Shooting of Dan McGrew (R. Service)
Lead Vocal: Smith
A bunch of the boys were whooping it up in the Malamute saloon;
The kid that handles the music-box was hitting a jag-time tune;
Back of the bar, in a solo game, sat Dangerous Dan McGrew,
And watching his luck was his light-o'-love, the lady that's known as Lou.
When out of the night, which was fifty below, and into the din and glare,
There stumbled a miner fresh from the creeks, dog-dirty, and loaded for bear.
He looked like a man with a foot in the grave and scarcely the strength of a louse,
Yet he tilted a poke of dust on the bar, and he called for drinks for the house.
There was none could place the stranger's face, though we searched ourselves for a clue;
But we drank his health, and the last to drink was Dangerous Dan McGrew.
There's men that somehow just grip your eyes, and hold them hard like a spell;
And such was he, and he looked to me like a man who had lived in hell;
With a face most hair, and the dreary stare of a dog whose day is done,
As he watered the green stuff in his glass, and the drops fell one by one.
Then I got to figgering who he was, and wondering what he'd do,
And I turned my head--and there watching him was the lady that's known as Lou.
His eyes went rubbering round the room, and he seemed in a kind of daze,
Till at last that old piano fell in the way of his wandering gaze.
The rag-time kid was having a drink; there was no one else on the stool,
So the stranger stumbled across the room, and flops down there like a fool.
In a buckskin shirt that was dazed with dirt he sat, and I saw him sway,
Then he clutched the keys with his talon hands--my God! but that man could play.
Were you ever out in the Great Alone, when the moon was awful clear,
And the icy mountains hemmed you in with a silence you most could hear;
With only the howl of a timber wolf, and you camped there in the cold,
A helf-dead thing in a stark, dead world, clean mad for the muck called gold;
While high overhead, green, yellow, and red, the North Lights swept in bars?
Then you've a hunch what the music meant . . . hunger and might and the stars.
And hunger not of the belly kind, that's banished with bacon and beans,
But the gnawing hunger of lonely men for a home and all that it means;
For a fireside far from the cares that are, four walls and a roof above;
But oh! so cramful of cosy joy, and crowded with a woman's love-
A woman dearer than all the world, and true as Heaven is true-
(God! how ghastly she looks through her rouge--the lady that's known as Lou.)
Then on a sudden the music changed, so soft that you scarce could hear;
But you felt that your life had been looted clean of all that it once held dear;
That someone had stolen the woman you loved; that her love was a devil's lie;
That your guts were gone, and the best for you was to crawl away and die.
'Twas the crowning cry of a heart's despair, and it thrilled you through and through-
"I guess I'll make it a spread misere," said Dangerous Dan McGrew.
The music almost died away . . . then it burst like a pent-up flood;
And it seemed to say, "Repay, repay," and my eyes were blind with blood.
The thought came back of an ancient wrong, and it stung like a frozen lash,
And the lust awoke to kill, to kill . . . then the music stopped with a crash,
And the stranger turned, and his eyes they burned in a most peculiar way;
In a buckskin shirt that was glazed with dirt he sat, and I saw him sway;
Then his lips went in in a kind of grin, and he spoke, and his voice was calm,
And "Boys," says he, "you don't know me, and none of you care a damn;
But I want to state, and my words are straight, and I'll bet my poke they're true,
That one of you is a hound of hell . . . and that one is Dan McGrew."
Then I ducked my head and the lights went out, and two guns blazed in the dark;
And a woman screamed, and the lights went up, and two men lay stiff and stark.
Pitched on his head, and pumped full of lead, was Dangerous Dan McGrew,
While the man from the creeks lay clutched to the breast of the lady that's known as Lou.
These are the simple facts of the case, and I guess I ought to know.
They say that the stranger was crazed with "hooch," and I'm not denying it's so.
I'm not so wise as the lawyer guys, but strictly between us two-
The woman that kissed him and--pinched his poke--was the lady known as Lou.
Sinner
Lead Vocal: Genauer
I've never been a winner but I wonder if I wasn't myself
Because I've always been a sinner but I never really felt like my own self
I remember days of infamy
I remember my friends and they remember me
And I guess I need a vision cause I never really listen to advice.
I guess I need a vision cause I never really listen to advice
My father was a preacher and my mother was a diligent wife.
I grew up with the choir singin',
I grew up straight but I raised up swingin'
By my own esitmation, I'm a drifter destination unknown.
{chorus}
And it's all I can do to stand up.
I'm really tired, but I raise my head and I step up
{repeat 2x}
By my own estimation, I'm a drifter destination unknown.
And I've never lived a life that I'm ashamed of being my own.
Call it sin, call it salvation.
Whichever one it is I know I've found elation.
High steppin' honey like a runnin' gun runnin' from the law.
Well I am high steppin' honey like a runnin' gun runnin' from the law.
And I've never been afraid of anyone or anything I ever saw.
A fist came up and it cracked my smile
Then a man went down and now he's sleepin' for a while.
He's got a dirt bed baby only baby he ain't never gettin' up
{chorus}
He's got a dirt bed baby only baby he ain't never gettin' up
I had a dog named Moses, Moses was a diamond in the rough.
For 14 years he walked my side
Walked this world that's where he lived and died.
He was meaner than hell but he loved me well indeed.
I've never been a winner but I wonder if I wasn't myself.
Because I've always been a sinner but I never really felt like my own self
Call it sin, call it salvation
Whichever one it is, I know I've found elation.
High steppin' honey like a runnin' gun runnin' from the law --That's all!
Sidestep Blue
Lead Vocal: Genauer
This is the story of Sidestep Blue, my, my, my.
Gets a lil sticky when the story's through.
{chorus}
So slap your knee and tie your shoe.
This is the story of Sidestep Blue
Sit right down and pour yourself a beer.
He was 17 when he first left home,
Got to be a man, I got to be alone
I got to find myself, and go out where I'm free.
I got 14 bucks and a bag of dope
Got a brand new pack and a fishin' rope
Gonna find myself and go out where I'm free.
{chorus}
He was drunk as hell and he was sittin down
In this little cafe outside of town
When a vixen came, took him by surprise
You can take my love but don't take my keys
Wanna drive my car, and if you please
I wanna find myself, go down where I'm free
{chorus}
He was drunk as hell, he was sittin down
In that little cafe outside of town
And that vixen came, took him by surprise.
(Alternate verse: He was drunk as hell, he was sittin' down,
When that vixen came, took him down,
Shook that boy, brought him to his knees)
So he tied his shoes and he hit the road
And he kissed that girl, that's what I'm told
I wanna find myself, go down where I'm free
{chorus}
This is the story of Sidestep Blue, my my my
Gets a little sticky when the story's through.
So slap your knee and tie your shoe.
This is the story of Sidestep Blue
Sit right down and pour yourself a beer.
High, high, high, lookin low, low low
High, high, high Sidestep Blue
High, high, high, lookin low, low low
Said sit right down and pour yourself,
Sit right down and have yourself
Sit right down and pour yourself a beer.
So Far Gone
Lead Vocal: Genauer
I fell in love for the first time
Golden hair hanging down
Seems to me I learned a lesson
Won't be the same second time around
And in my songs I tell a story
I couldn't wait for it to end
And from the darkness there comes insight
I lost my lover and my best friend
{chorus}
Didn't know, didn't know that I was so far gone
Did it show, did it show that I was so far gone
Some say I am the winner
to have known a love so true and kind
I'm looking inside from the outside
and I can't tell how I feel
{chorus}
So I live my life without her
It ain't that bad I'm learning now
Too weak to cry, it'd fate
Too bad, you're sad,
Too soon, too late.
And I can't tell how I feel
{chorus}
So turn it on and turn it off
My loves grows dimmer every day
But I am not a fucking light witch
Won't someone please show me the way
Show me the, show me the, show me the way
I live my life and I am strong
I've got myself and I got my songs
And I am happy
Most of the time
But I need somebody, and I need someone.
Show me the way.
So Well
Lead Vocal: Genauer
Well it's time for you to follow what you seek
Nothing is forgotten of the secrets that you keep
So well - oh so well.
Answer me a question in your name
When the body leaves forgotten
The soul of the tree remains
So well - oh so well.
I saw a sad sight, a man had died and gone
I saw a sad sight, that's why I sing this song
{chorus}
Forget me not, forgive me now,
Twenty years gone by.
I may grow old, that's what I'm told
But I ain't never gonna die.
Said I may grow old that's what I'm told
But I ain't never gonna die.
And we live in and of each other we will remain.
And we give and so discover we will remain.
A measure of your worth and not your wealth
The people that you see that's how you know yourself
So well - oh so well.
So you have departed from this ground
With the memory of your loved ones,
that's where your person's found
So well - oh so well.
I saw a sad sight, a man had died and gone
I saw a sad sight, that's why I sing this song
{chorus}
Well you can touch the people that you see
And you love so well
For who are you without them
and what is it you'd be?
So well - oh so well.
Children one and all, that you love so well
Your friend in the end and your mom and your dad
And the girl that you loved to call
So well - oh so well.
We came to Burlington
Body soul and mind
We came to Burlington to find ourselves to find.
{chorus}
Sometimes
Lead Vocal: Genauer
Sometimes I lay awake at night and wonder
Will I be alone again tomorrow?
Will I be alone again today?
Will I be alone again today?
Will I be alone again?
I wish I could find a way to disappear
Miles and miles and miles and miles and no one near.
Gotta settle my mind, gotta settle my mind.
{chorus}
I got a reason to believe,
Lonely days are gonna go away.
I got a reason to believe,
Come a long, come a long, come a long way.
And I've come a long way.
Wish that I was crippled and blind]
Then I wouldn't have this on my mind.
Wish that I was deafened and dumb
I wouldn't have to talk to anyone
Anyone, no. I wouldn't have to talk to anyone, anyone.
Confusion, confusion.
All I need, all I really need is an illusion an illusion
All I know, all I really know is
{chorus}
Sometimes I lay awake at night and wonder
Will I be alone again tomorrow?
Will I be alone again today?
Will I be alone again today?
Will I be alone again?
I'll get away.
I wish I didn't need a woman.
I got a reason to believe,
Lonely days are gonna go away.
I got a reason to believe,
Come a long, come a long, come a long way.
Songs We Sing
Lead Vocal: Genauer
When I am lonely, I sing about the night.
When I am feelin good, I sing about what's right.
When I am lonely I sing about the night
When I am feelin good I sing about what's right
Sing about it...
{chorus}
Songs we sing of life and love.
Every little thing that you're thinkin' of.
Thinkin of now.
After the winter sing about the grass
After a love affair you sing about the past,
You sing about it
{chorus}
He walked the rest
Left his cycle broken down
He came from Virginia
All the to this little town
Hair unkept, shoes undone
A second lost, a moment's won
A second lost, a moment's won
The song begins, the day's begun
He came from Virginia
all the way to this little town.
Hair unkept, shoes undone
A second lost, a moment's won. {repeat}
Second lost, a moment's won
The song begins, the day's begun
{repeat 3x}
Some sing of visions, of a life to live.
Some sing about the way they feel
And I believe that's all there is.
{chorus 3x}
