Knocker of Gold

Buy me a knocker of gold someday
Now hey
By me a knocker of gold someday
Now hey
Buy me a knocker of gold someday
Put it on my door and people will say
He's got a knocker made of gold
Today
Find me a girl with eyes like
A bouquet
Sweet little girl with eyes just like
A bouquet
Sweet little girl won't never stray
Hold in her in my arms and I'll softly say
I love you girl, you're eyes
Like a bouquet
See that sun shine again
I pray
See that sun right shine again
I pray
See that sun shine again
A locked up man's as good as dead
I'm gonna see that sun shine again
I pray

No Place Left to Run
04:07

There's a face in my heart that looks a lot like you
Shines like the ocean at the start of the day
Told you my name and then you walk right through
Look down at my tracks and then I swept them away
And I got no place left to run
God it feels good just to fall
I got no place left to run
Home was right here after all
Branch starts shaking in the winter wind
Mind starts shifting around an empty stare
Made a blanket out of things no one else could mend
i wrap myself up when there's nobody there
There was a forest to the east I never thought could die
One good gust and it all fell down
We ran to the water without a look at the sky
We ain't got a vision but we sure got the sound

One More Try
02:58
|

|
Show me a light at the end of this tunnel
Read me the words on the wall
Give me a ride to the very next station
And I won't be back at all
Give me a light
Show me a sign
Point my eyes
At that place in the sky, yeah
Give me a ride
To the very next station
And I'll give this old world
One more try
Went and looked all over the house
I looked all over the town
What I want keeps slipping away
So i guess I'll stop looking around
Give me a chance to call you a friend
I'll show you the secrets I cry
The train goes by with one more soul
And the jaybird heads up high

Today

Something about the sky
Makes me feel alone
Flatness goes on up above the trees
Little kids are playing with their plastic in the sand
Kitchen light gets eaten by the breeze
Something in these wires
Is bigger than the spark
Something's always hidden in these walls
Colonizing, harmonizing blackness of its blue
There's something that my voice just never calls
How'd it go today?
How'd it go out there today?
I talked to you this morning
Before things got all gray
Tell me how it went out there today
Something that I looked at
In the markings down below
Penciled in, the colors scratched away
You might say they're left there by the dunces who got lost
But I'm stuck here and I wonder what they say
I bet that you got changed
Today

Trouble in Mind
04:36
|
|||
|
All alone at midnight
And my lamp is burning low
I ain't seen so much trouble
In all my life
Trouble in mind
I'm blue
But I won't be blue always
For the sun's gonna shine
On my backdoor someday
Going down that river
And I'll bring my rocking chair
If the blue don't leave
Gonna rock away from there
Gonna lay my head down
On a lonesome railway line
Let the 2:19 just pacify
My mind
Oh trouble, yeah trouble
I've got trouble on my mind
When you see me laugh
It's just to keep from crying

Just Like Snow
06:48
|

|
The feathers come down
Just like snow
The feathers come down
Just like snow
The hunger you feel
I'll never know
But I see the way of the wind
When I watch the feathers blow
Families go round
Young replace the old
Oh, families go round
Young replace the old
Try to fight against the rain
Buy our way out of the cold
Try to make a little sense
Of the stories we're told
The shadows in your heart
Are the lights inside your soul
Oh, the shadows in your heart
Light the way into your soul
It's like the thunder in the sky
Right before the thunder rolls
It's like the sudden gust of wind
That makes the feathers blow

Highway in the Sun
03:02
|
|||
|
The whole world's got a drink between its knees
You ain't got a fortune, only fees
The birds above they are the only ones
Who watch you walk that highway in the sun
Oh, watch you walk that highway in the sun
Your beard is just the color of the sand
The trees we save are worth a hundred grand
But what'll we give to our stoned out sweaty son
Who walks on down the highway in the sun?
Who walks on down the highway in the sun
Water in your face sets back your eyes
Colors shift in bottles no one buys
Smile might just be another gun
And you walk on down that highway in the sun
Oh, you walk on down that highway in the sun
Happy hour gets started with a bang
Kids in ties drink lightening just the same
But for you the day has only just begun
And you walk on down that highway in the sun
You walk on down that highway in the sun
The whole world's got a drink between its knees
You ain't got a fortune, only fees
The birds above they're not the only ones
Who watch you walk that highway in the sun
Who watch you walk that highway in the sun
Watch you walk that highway in the sun
Oh watch you walk that highway in the sun

Look at All the Stars
03:47
|
|||
|
Look at all the stars inside
Look at how it's quiet when we ride
Words just fall apart
Pieces in the dark
Look at all the stars inside
Hallelujah when it rains
How many stories in these stains?
You were born an only child
Every inch looked like a mile
Hallelujah when it rains
Please keep on walking at the sun
Please keep them shadows on the run
You were never even par
You were never keeping star
Please keep on walking at the sun

Into the Night
03:57
|
|||
|
I saw the tide start a-rising
Sitting on the ocean floor
I touched the glow of the horizon
Standing right outside of my backdoor
And it slipped on into the night
It slipped on into the night
The wind and the waves were a-stalling
Just before they hit upon the shore
Birds and the bees, they were calling
A song I never heard 'em sing before
And they slipped on into the night
They slipped on into the night
Canyons are cut by rivers flowing
Like someone who's got nothing left to hide
I left the coast not sure where I was going
Just knew the time had come to take a ride
And I slipped on into the night
Oh I slipped on into the night
Clouds above they look like diamonds shining
When rain's the only drink you can afford
Voice below, it's gonna keep on crying
Calling out for just a little more
And it slips on into the night
Yeah, it slips on into the night
I saw the tide start a-rising
Sitting on the ocean floor
I touched the glow of the horizon
Standing right outside of my backdoor
And it slipped on into the night
It slipped on into the night
It slipped on into the night
It slipped on into the night
