Twenty-Third Street

Well, the hotels in Chelsea, well they’re bleak and they’re dull
But I’m tired and it’s cold out and the snow is coming down
So I turn out the lights, and the beams they filter through
Throwing shadows on the bed and they remind me of you
Out on 23rd street my love
Down on old 23
Out on 23rd street my love
Out on old 23
Waning moon looks sad now, like an old gospel tune
snow is coming down hard on all those cars way downtown
where the kick up the dirt under marque bright lights
in this Chelsea hotel where I’m losing my mind
Out on 23rd street my love
Out on old 23
Out on 23rd street my love
Down on old 23

Blue And Gold
04:11
|

City streets, they’re slick from the rain
Ghostly lights in the cold November night
Old lovers and broken things
Tv static, I got nothing left to say
That’s when I’ll know, that’s when I’ll know, that heartbreak is blue and it’s gold
That’s when I’ll know, that’s when I’ll know, that heartbreak is blue and it’s gold
Yeah, heartbreak well it’s blue and it’s gold
Another record to make, an old hotel to haunt
I know the dawn it’s still a mile off
So, hold my hand I’ll be here when the morning comes
And when the time comes, we’re sitting round the table
There’s nothing left, 'cept the stain on the wood
It’s where his coffee cup once stood
And, I will kiss your wine colored bruise
For then I’ll know, for then I’ll know, that heartbreak is blue and it’s gold
For then I’ll know, for then I’ll know, that heartbreak well it’s blue and it’s gold
Heartbreak, we’ll it’s blue and it’s gold
Yeah, heartbreak, we’ll it’s blue and it’s gold

Memories
03:00
|

Coffee in the morning, comb your hair
An empty sky and a loaded look
I know my best days may have passed
The light of my love is burning on
For I will hold you when I’m old my love
I’ll watch the changes in your face
I will hold you when I’m old my love
I’ll keep your memories safe, I’ll keep your memories safe
Some say love is a fading thing
As fickle as a feather in a stream
I watch the leaves fall and count the years
Just like the silver in your hair
For I will hold you when I’m old my love
I’ll watch the changes in your face
I will hold you when I’m old my love
I’ll keep your memories safe, I’ll keep your memories safe

Power In The Light
03:02
|
|||
I followed the blues down a long black road
I saw the beauty and I saw the loss
Wolf and I we’re the biggest game in town
He’s wind swept and strong in the fight
There’s grief and anger but there’s power in the light
There’s grief and anger and there’s power in the light
There’s power in the light
There’s power in the light
There’s power in the light
I watch the ships as they leave the shore
I watch the shadows as they pass by her heart
Wolf and I we’re the biggest game in town
He’s wind swept but I’m strong in the fight
Grief and anger but there’s power in the light
There’s grief and anger but there’s power in the light
There’s power in the light
There’s power in the light
There’s power in the light

She was born in a real small town, somewhere north of where the snow came down
And the moon, well it bleeds for her, she rides on the back of charlie’s old mustang bike
In the grounds out by the graveyard
In the grounds out by her old home
In the grounds out by the graveyard
In the grounds out by her old home
She’s from a land where the winds they rule
They blow so hard and they blow cruel
They strip you of everything you have ever owned
They leave you with nothing, no house or home
Long talons and silver back wings
It’s only shadows that are blowing in the wind
In the grounds out by the graveyard
In the grounds out by her old home
In the grounds out by the graveyard
In the grounds out by her old home
She opens her heart at the very break of day
Thunder cracks blowing them pale clouds away
Lightning storms, but they don’t scare her now
She’s rides on the back of Charlie’s old mustang bike
In the grounds out by the graveyard
In the grounds out by her old home
In the grounds out by the graveyard
In the grounds out by her old home

When The Darkness Comes
03:39
|
|||
I’m as cold as an old Chicago wind, and I’m bitter as the fruit of the vine
She comes to call and I stay home
So send my best out to the boys in my band
For I’m never no sunny day
And lord, can I still have my rose-colored sun
When the darkness comes
Here in these bars, it’s real easy to hide
And I know true love is a little harder to find
My heart is broken for my love has gone
Maybe when I’m older I will understand
That I’m never no sunny day
And lord, can I still have my rose-colored sun
When the darkness comes
For I’m as cold as an old Chicago wind, and I’m bitter as the fruit of the vine
She comes to call and I stay home
My heart is broken for my love is gone

Sam, I know You Tried
04:21
|

We, we’ve been up for days in this house
Everything is quiet now you’re gone
Well, Sam don’t be scared, just hold my hand
I’ll burn that lamp down‘till its end
If you don’t make it back, I’ll know you tried
I want you to know we tried too
If you’re really gone, I’ll wait for you
But, don’t it, it looks like the dark
I will let go, but please know
Tonight my heart is with you
Let, let the air just take my breath
Don’t it, don’t it look like the end
Looks like, it looks like the end
Looks like, it looks like the end
Looks like, it looks like the end

I Miss My Friend
03:53
|
|||
I see his eyes and they burn just like embers
Underneath that starless sky
I watch the boats as they rock in the harbor
I’m searching for that place where I may lay my weary soul
I miss the past so much that sometimes I see no future
I know these memories may not last
I miss my friend and I miss the way he sings
I miss my friend and I miss the way he sings
Well last night I guess my friend he’d had enough
And now skies are only gray
Took myself on a drive to the ocean
I’m searching for that place where I may lay my weary soul
I miss the past so much that sometimes I see no future
I know these memories may not last
I miss my friend and I miss the way he sings
I miss my friend and I miss the way he sings
