Now her shoes step
across the leaves
And old fall has come
to still the trees
I won't screw up endlessly
How have I come to
be alone?
Once at night I went
with her, through the winter snow
Way downtown to see
this band she knows, oh
Now her jeans lay against
the grass,
And new days have
killed the past
I won't screw up endlessly
How have I come to
be alone?
Lonely when I hear
the band
That used to play
when we were looking for music
Lonely when I hear
the band
Do you remember? Do
you recall?
Remember when you
held my hand you used to say I love you
So much
Lonely when I hear
the band
Do you remember do
you recall
So tonight I'm calling
you down the windy road
I can't wait up endlessly
you know
Now will you return
to me, before the winter snow
Can I plan to come
and drive you home, home?
Now her shoes step
across the leaves
And old fall has come
to still the trees
I can't wait up endlessly
How have I come to
be alone?
Lonely when I hear
the band
That used to play
when we were looking for music
Lonely when I hear
the band
Do you remember, do
you recall?
Remember when you
held my hand you used to say I love them
So much
Lonely when I hear
the band
Do you remember, do
you recall?
Remember when you
held my hand you used to say I love you
So much
Lonely when I hear
the band
Do you remember, do
you recall?
BACHELORETTE
Hey (hey-hey-hey)
Up above our nation
There's a field of
stars
And I know you want
to fly there
Far from your rusted
out car
So you search the neighborhood
Actually the neighborhood
bar
And you try to be
gentle
With the mortal men
we are
Look at you lonely
lady
Tired of the nightclub
yet?
Hey (hey-hey-hey)
Bachelorette
Hey (hey-hey-hey)
Bachelorette
All across our nation
Ocean blue to ocean
green
Women come down from
misty mountains
Just to bring me to
my knees
None of these lonely
ladies
Realize what they
met
Hey (hey-hey-hey)
Bachelorette
Hey (hey-hey-hey)
Bachelorette
Up above your table
A star called lonely
me
And the clock above
the bar there
Approaching that fateful
three
Up above our nation
Look at your sexy
stars
They would never take
the time now
To shine upon your
rusted out car
All you lonely ladies
Looking for Capulets
Hey (hey-hey-hey)
Bachelorette
Hey (hey-hey-hey)
Bachelorette
Hey (hey-hey-hey)
Bachelorette
Your mouth is my apartment
in the evening
Back down to the work
again
It's no place for
a living man
I ride around on the
ice cream bicycle
Dreamsicle in my hand
Once over the park
again
I sing bombpop'll
do you well
I wait for day to
be night again
Ringin' that foolish
bell
Your mouth is my apartment
in the evening
And I sleep in a ruby
dark bed
Back down in the dust
again
I see a vision that
I cannot stand
Another vendor on
a bicycle bender
Lollipops in his hand
Once over the park
again
I sing bombpop'll
do you well
I wait for day to
be night again
Ringin' that foolish
bell
Your mouth is my apartment
in the evening
And I sleep in a ruby
dark bed
And I work in the flames
(No love shines down)
But if your lips would
invite me
(to come round)
I would fly like a
starling from the mountain face
To your world and
a resting place
Whoah oooh, oh, oh,
oh oh
Your mouth is my apartment
in the evening
And I sleep in a ruby
dark bed
Your mind is like
a spaceship that the angels might fly
And I ride any place
in your head
Any place in your
head
Any place in your
head
Any place in your
head
Any place in your
head
WILL
YOU BE FOUND
On a distant country
Lies the rest of my
queen
Lies the rest of my
friend
jean
All her dreams are
unclear
Only music can she
hear
So she often rides
to find
jean
Oh, you must lie down
You've been searching
all around
Dear, you must lie
down
You've been looking
all around
Will you be found?
La la la la la
La la la la la
jean
Home she comes now
From the night out
Then she lays down
With the light out
And she looks out
On a land where
Hills are all green
And who lies there?
jean
She wakes up to see
Only moonlight and
old me
So she looks around
to find
jean
Oh, you must lie down
You've been searching
all around
Dear, you must lie
down
You've been looking
all around
Will you be found?
La la la la la
La la la la la
jean
DOWN
MY BLOCK
What I want to do
Is to get my ever-loving
hands on you
I want to see you
coming down my block
What you ought to
do
Is to come back where
I can take care of you
Do you remember how
we used to talk
Have you been out wandering
through the land alone
Now I want to have
you at home
How I long to be with
you tonight and talk
Oh I want to see you
coming down my block
So I sit right there
Looking out the window
from my back stair
How long til you'll
be walkin' up my walk
What you are gonna
find
Is a man who believes
that he's made up his mind
I long to see you
coming down my block
While you've been out
wandering through the dusty world
I can hardly help
it worry for you little girl
Have you been out
wandering through the land alone
Now I want to have
you at home home home
How I long to be with
you tonight and talk
Oh I want to see you
coming down my block
Oh I want to see you
coming down my block
Oh I want to see you
coming down my block
How I long to be with
you tonight and talk
Oh I want to see you
coming down my block
JILL
CAN DRIVE
In the old florescent
light
Jill took nights and
weekends at the store
Coffee's forty, gas
is five
She told you to take
it easy when you hit the door
And her home is where
she'd go, 'cause
All the bars closed
Men blow horns, angels
fly
Jill's got nights
and weekends nevermore
She is free and she
can drive
She quit that heavy
jingle, yeah she quit the store
Jill took nights and
weekends at the store
Jill's got nights
and weekends nevermore
And her home is where
you go when all the bars close
Jill's got nights
and weekends at the sore...nevermore
Yeah Jill is wise
She's got L.P. records
'til they touch the sky
Yeah feast your eyes
Stare at aqua make-up
'til you lose your mind
Men be free, but men
be kind
Jill's got wishing
moments when she waits for signs
Jill took nights and
weekends at the store
Jill's got nights
and weekends nevermore
And her home is where
you go when all the bars close
Jill's got nights
and weekends
Jill's got nights
and weekends
Jill's got nights
and weekends at the store...
nevermore
LOOK
AT MOON
Look at the moon
Look at the moon
Would you look in my
eyes for a moment
Let me see if I can
say so long
Funny, I can't smile
at the freedom that I wanted
And I can't smile
and try to lead you on
Would you mind if I
cry for a moment
'Cause I loved the
days when you were mine
Honey, I can't lie,
you won't see me any longer
Let me kiss your sweet
lips one more time
Look at the moon
Look at the moon
Hey, now you know
that I
Don't want you to
see me cry
Look at the moon
There were days when
the moon was bright above me
Then the haze that
came to make me blind
Have I lost my mind
to be leaving the seeds we planted
You can hear the engine
Runs out in the drive
Let me kiss your sweet
lips one more time
Look at the moon
Look at the moon
Hey, now you know
that I
Don't want you to
see me cry
Look at the moon
Honey, I can't lie,
you won't see me any longer
Let me kiss you sweet
lips one more time
GRAVEYARD
If you go walking
in the land between my arms
You will find a graveyard,
little graveyard
Since no light shines
there, I'm afraid you'll come to harm
In the holes you find
there, and the ground is cold and hard
And I walk with rings
and roses
Speaking like a child
You don't know cause
I might send you
Where love-light never
smiled
Green little graveyard,
grim little graveyard
If you should climb
dear, take a look behind my eyes
Someone you will find
there, in a wedding gown she lies
Lies all alone
Alone, dear!
No one you would know
When I'm forgotten,
in your newly painted home
Keep your eyes alive
dear, better check if you're alone
Cause I walk with rings
and roses
Speaking like a child
You don't know, cause
I might send you
Where love-light never
smiled
Green little graveyard,
grim little graveyard
You don't know, I
might send you
Where love-light never
smiled
Listen!

By Turtle Lake
The dawn began to
break
Green glowed that
bonneville, her father's car
We stayed out long
Her kisses were sweet
and strong
Far from the kitchen
of her daddy's farm
Into dreams we walked
Whistled and talked
Then from the yellow
bills of mourning doves
Came a daylight song
Happy sad song
Dreamed that we had
come to be in love
By Turtle Lake
The road began to
shake
(Dawn began to break)
Cars on that motorway
beyond the hill
(sun began to shine)
Both chairs reclined
She seemed so completely
mind
(A dream so completely
fine)
She lies beside me
in that Bonneville
On our way we heard
bells
Sunday school ells
She says her father
might be worried now
When her dad woke he
must've known that the dam was broke
Meanwhile she drives
me to my place in town
Into dreams we walked
Whistled and talked
Then from the yellow
bills of mourning doves
Came a daylight song
Happy sad song
Seems like we might
come to be in love
Coo coo coo coo
Coo coo coo coo
Dreamed that we had
come to be in love
Seems like we might
come to be in love
TODAY
YOU MOVE
Cold was the morning
in our old place
Sunday, today you
move
Down in the basement
with the full creates
Old coats, winter
shoes
Cold was the handle
of the van door
The old Ford, she
comes through
And I'm a helper to
my own fate
I've come to help
you move
Monday you'll wake
up
Ceiling lights are
strange
Tuesday I could ask
you
If you could stand
a change
Gold was the alley
of you new place
I drove here with
you
High in the shadow
of an oak tree
The window of your
bedroom
I'll come calling
I'll call up to you
I'll say come down
I've come home to
you
Now when your sister
came to our place
Nine days she stayed
with you
And every time I saw
her young face
I knew and she knew
I've been a vandal
to my own home
Under the snakey moon
So now when I come
to see the old place
I want to be of use
Monday you'll wake
up
Ceiling lights are
strange
Tuesday you could
ask me
If I could stand to
change
Now with the bed frame
up the staircase
We're through with
the move
And if you think you
have enough space
I'd move in with you
I'll come calling
I'll call up to you
I'll say come down
I've come home to
you
PATRICIA
Patricia said, Matt,
it's been years
I failed to hear her
speak of many things
The eyes I once believed
were swimming pools
Now she flaps and
blinks like leather wings
Oh, Patricia, have
you come to roost
You are the secret
Time has told
When the sky was brighter
years ago
I brought her to a
place within my arms
Heaven saw me bring
her precious fruits
Heaven saw me bring
that girl to harm
Oh Patricia, have
you come to roost
You are the secret
Time has told
IF
YOU MISS ME
When you lie down
In your bed tonight
Oh and I'm far from
sight
If you miss me
And you want to cry
Oh I would want to
die
When you wake up
And it's still not
light
So far from my sight
If you miss me and
you want to cry
Oh I would want to
die
And rise into the
blue above the highway
And fly across the
stars until I'm home
For I would rather
rise up from a world of darkness
Than know that you're
unhappy and alone
If you kissed me
In my dreams tonight
Oh, that would feel
all right
If I woke up
Far from your side
Oh I would want to
cry
And rise into the
blue above the highway
And fly across the
stars until I'm home
For I would rather
rise up from a world of darkness
Than know that you're
unhappy and alone
For I would rather
rise up from a world of darkness
Than know that you're
unhappy and alone
