Unsatisfied Heart
|
[Verse 1] Sir, I am a pilgrim and a stranger in this land Once I had a home here and my salvation was at hand I lived in a house of gold, yeah, on a far hillside I had two beautiful children and a kind and loving wife
[Chorus] Can you live with an unsatisfied heart Can you live with an unsatisfied heart Can you live with an unsatisfied heart Can you live with an unsatisfied heart
[Verse 2] One day a man came to town with nothing and nowhere to go He came to me and he mentioned something I'd done a long time ago I allowed him into my home on his vow our secret would never see the light At night I'd lay awake in my wife's arms, she'd sigh, "Joe, you alright "
[Chorus] Can you live with an unsatisfied heart Can you live with an unsatisfied heart Can you live with an unsatisfied heart Can you live with an unsatisfied heart
[Verse 3] The life I had built so carefully, it fell before my sin My home became my prison, my truth hidden deep within One night I woke up and as my wife did sleep I got dressed in the darkness and I fled into the street
[Chorus] Can you live with an unsatisfied heart Can you live with an unsatisfied heart Can you live with an unsatisfied heart Can you live with an unsatisfied heart
[Verse 4] Well, night after night the same dream keeps coming 'round I'm standing high in the green hills on the outskirts of town The night air fills my lungs, the wind rustles my shirt I can see the house where we lived, the building where I used to work As I draw near the town's on fire, lit by a red summer moon Still feel your arms around me, I wake up in this room
[Chorus] Can you live with an unsatisfied heart Can you live with an unsatisfied heart Can you live with an unsatisfied heart Can you live with an unsatisfied heart
[Chorus] Can you live with an unsatisfied heart Can you live with an unsatisfied heart Can you live with an unsatisfied heart Can you live with an unsatisfied heart
[Chorus] Can you live with an unsatisfied heart Can you live with an unsatisfied heart Can you live with an unsatisfied heart Can you live with an unsatisfied heart

Something in the Well
|
[Verse 1] Woke last night to that same sound First, I thought it was you breathin' Got out of bed and went to the window Just as a cloud rushed 'cross the moon
[Chorus] Baby, baby, there's something in the well There's something in the well
[Verse 2] Lately, I've been watchin' that corner of the field Out where the old black willow fell Things can seem so safe and sure But you can never really tell
[Chorus] Baby, baby, there's something in the well Something waiting in the well
[Verse 3] Now, I boarded it up myself back a lot of years It's too long a story to tell But there was no more sadness, no more tears And since, I've guarded it well Oh, there's some secrets that should never be told There's some words that should never be said Now, I know there's things in this world, baby That should stay locked up forever, inside our heads
[Chorus] Baby, baby, there's something in the well There's something in the well
[Verse 4] Folks in town forgot, now they don't much care See, quiet years passed, but I could still feel it there Snow melted off the fields, summer crops came through Still, it stayed silent. Then, I met you
[Verse 5] Well, last night, darling, I did sleep Naked on the dark spring ground The leaves in the trees came alive and spoke to me And I could feel the dirt 'neath me movin' 'round Hey, the well was torn open and I stared down Into the muddy darkness, my black tears fell Stars spread their false light on the earth Moon slipped from the sky and fell And my love for you came rushin' forward And my fear and hatred as well Hell, things can seem so safe and sure But you can never really tell There's something in the well

[Chorus] I'm waitin', I'm waitin', I'm waitin' Waitin' on the end of the world I'm waitin', I'm waitin'
[Bridge] We hide from the truth in our hearts One look and everything would fall apart Here, in your arms a soft decay I can feel myself wastin' away
[Verse 3] Will you meet me in the halls Where light scatters and darkness falls Here in this feast of friends A breath and we begin again
[Chorus] I'm waitin', I'm waitin', I'm waitin' Waitin' on the end of the world I'm waitin', I'm waitin', I'm waitin' Waitin' on the end of the world I'm waitin', I'm waitin', I'm waitin' Waitin' on the end of the world I'm waitin', I'm waitin', I'm waitin' Waitin' on the end of the world I'm waitin', I'm waitin'

The Lost Charro
|
Godmother, when I die, make of my clay a jar And when you are thirsty, drink from it And if you feel a shadow, a shadow touching your lips It's the kisses of your charro
Pull the leather strip from your hair And your black tresses fall upon the dark skin of your shoulders Your dress embroidered with gold Moves like a choir of young girls, scarcely touching the ground
My rope winds as the smoke rises Burning the horn of my saddle My rope winds as the evening sun sets And we bring in the cattle
The traditions of the Charro are the same eternally No matter how much the horse changes No matter how much the horseman may want The cola is always the cola, the terna, the terna, the pial, the pial
My rope winds as the smoke rises Burning the horn of my saddle My rope winds as the evening sun sets And we bring in the cattle
For two seasons, I've picked the lettuce in Salinas The prunes in Santa Clara The oranges from the Ontario trees
I've traded in my leather for the denim of my campesinos Godmother, I'll return home soon, you'll see And tonight in my dreams
My rope winds as smoke rises Burning the horn of my saddle My rope winds as the evening sun sets And we bring in the cattle
Godmother, when I die, make of my clay a jar And when you are thirsty, drink from it

Inyo

Over the washes of the Big and Little Tujunga Above the Mojave in a two-horse buckboard Bill Mulholland, Fred Eaton set out for the Owens River Valley In the fall of 1904
Through the Tehachapi, up along the Sierra Nevada Through the Green Valley towards the Owens River mouth They come to bring that Owens River water Two hundred miles to the desert city south
Ain't you feelin' dry? Ain't you feelin' dry now My brother, ain't you feelin' dry
I was a blaster in the black hole of Elizabeth Hardrock tunneled five miles of the coast range In the black mud, we drilled and set the charges Blew through that mountain in just a thousand days
Owens River water for the Queen of Angels From the heavens of the High Sierra packed snow Owens River water for the children of the Queen of Angels Make rich the land syndicate of the San Fernando
Ain't you feelin' dry? Ain't you feelin' dry now My brother, ain't you feelin' dry
An uncle pushed the Paiute from their valley Cut out his homestead in blood and pulled crops out the desert sand Then the south, they come to share our water 'Cause the south was thirsty, my friend
Come the drought of '19, they started pumpin' Water from the Owens table underground Our big cottonwoods died, our ranches, they went dry The green fields, they blew dusty and brown
I set the first charges for the ranchers in '24 Fired the fuse on two hundred pounds of dynamite Blew a hole in that aqueduct I'd helped build Sent thunder rollin' out across the desert night
Ain't you feelin' dry? Ain't you feelin' dry now My brother, ain't you feelin' dry
Sacramento, the Kern, the Colorado The King, the San Joaquin, my friend For the power, for the water, for the prosperity And for the men with the money in the end
Tonight the Santa Ana's drawin' west across the Mojave Blowin' fire and dust onto L.A. County windowsills Bill Mulholland, Fred Eaton's dead in their graves The Queen of Angels, she remains thirsty still
Ain't you feelin' dry? Ain't you feelin' dry now My brother, ain't you feelin' dry
Ain't you feelin' dry? Ain't you feelin' dry now My good brother, ain't you feelin' dry

Adelita
|
[Verse 1] In the High Sierras, camped were the soldiers And a young soldada who valiantly fought Side by side with Francisco Villa Adelita
[Verse 2] Far from my home now, a Texacan soldier It's not for fortune or risk to the battlefield I fight I fell in love with Adelita with my very soul We'll stand in arms this night
[Verse 3] She said, "Johnny, if I should die in battle And my body be left in the Sierranea My love, my love, in God's name Fight on, and remember me That my blood will not have been spilled in vain"
[Verse 4] On horseback, a carbine full and at her side Over her blouse, cartridges filled her bandoleras Side by side, into battle we rode, Villistas My Adelita
[Verse 5] We met the enemy in the Zamoran mountains From their bullets, many of our soldiers died And wounded, I lay fallen with my comrades As Adelita stood above us Firing her rifle 'til the gunpowder turned her hand black
[Verse 6] And the sky was blue, 'neath the cannon the earth trembled Watched as a bullet pierced my love's side She fell amidst the brothers and sisters Smoke and empty sky in her eyes
[Verse 7] Adelita, my love, Adelita, my wife Adelita, my comrade, my life They'll remember your name when freedom fills the Sierranea I'll remember the warmth of your skin against mine
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 8] Tonight, I lay in the mountains with the campesinos My mind at peace from the vows I've made I know I'll never see Texas again
[Verse 9] Your portrait I carry deep in my breast pocket My rifle firing into the campaña, I ride with you 'round my heart Protected from this death by beauty

Sunday Love
|
[Verse 1] Monday, Monday, Monday brings the blues I put on my shirt and tie Someway I get by Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday brings the same Come sunny skies, come rain Paper and coffee on the train
[Pre-Chorus] As the weekend rolls around It's another lonely night on the town A stranger's kiss at the door But it's not what I'm lookin' for
[Chorus] Never had, I never had, I never had a Sunday love Flowers and Champagne I never had a Sunday love Long walks in the rain Each night I pray, each night I pray to God above Oh, I've never had a Sunday love
[Verse 3] Monday, Monday, Monday, the alarm clock rings I drag myself to the sink Run a razor 'cross my chin A spray of cologne for each sin Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, all goes gray 'Til you come walkin' my way God give me the strength to say Tonight, maybe you'll stay
[Pre-Chorus] Come the weekend, I wear out the soles of my shoes Trying to walk off these lover's blues Only to end up at your door I'll say a prayer, just two steps more
[Chorus] I never had, I never had, I never had a Sunday love Flowers and Champagne I never had a Sunday love Long walks in the rain Each night I pray, each night I pray to God above Oh, I never had a Sunday love
[Bridge] On and on through summer showers On and on, lost hours on hours On and on, I'm so uninspired On and on 'til you get so damn tired
[Chorus] I never had, never had, never had a Sunday love Flowers and Champagne I never had a Sunday love Long walks in the rain Each night I pray, each night I pray to God above I never had a Sunday love Oh, I never had, never had, never had a Sunday love Flowers and Champagne I never had a Sunday love Long walks in the rain Each night I pray, each night I pray to God above I never had a Sunday love
[Outro] Oh, I never had, never had, never had a Sunday love Flowers and Champagne Never had, never had, I never had a Sunday love Long walks in the rain

High Sierra
|
I was down on my luck, so down on my luck Packed my bags and left the big city and the trouble I'd seen Took the highway north, tryin' to find some place where the air felt clean I came upon that little café in the early spring Where, as you came through the door, above a little bell would ring
She was waiting there, in the High Sierras A flower in her long black hair, in the High Sierras I'd been down on my luck, so down on my luck
It was laughter and wine, and warm endless nights In that little motel, I could have stayed there the rest of my life
I found a job at the filling station, she worked at the luncheonette In the evening she'd set the table, as I washed off the dirt and sweat Then it was good as it gets, just as good as it gets
We were happy there, in the High Sierras Oh, so happy there, in the High Sierras And I'd been down on my luck, and she lifted me up
One day a man came through town, someone I used to know Reminded me of something I'd done a long time ago I told him I changed. He said, "We owe what we owe."
That evening I boarded the train into the big city I told her I'd be back again, soon, from the big city It's just old business that had to be done As the train left the station, they gave me my gun
The day smelled of ash The sky was hard and blue All I remember was my shirt, with the blood seeping through
At dusk she'd set the tables for the morning shift She'd sit on the motel porch with a beer and cigarette As the summer nights would drift Seasons passed and the winter snow melted come the early spring At the luncheonette she'd look up from the counter Each time that little bell would ring
We were happy there, in the High Sierras Oh, so happy there, in the High Sierras I was down on my luck, she lifted me up

Sunliner, carry me home Sunliner Sunliner, no more shall I roam Sunliner
Where the skies open wide, I belong My love at my side, my song
Sunliner, I'm in your hands Sunliner Sunliner, no tomorrows, no plans Sunliner
Gone are the ways that burden my soul And gentle are the days that make me whole Make me whole
Sunliner, I'm goin' back to those I love I sleep to the thunder of the steel on the tracks The silence of the stars above The dark of this night will be broken soon By the forgiving light The light, the light, the light The light The light

I'm Not Sleeping
|
I never go out, I just stay at home Change my address, disconnect the phone Turn off the TV because it bothers me I've seen all that, all that I wanna see And if my friends ask where I've been Just say I don't know what's become of him
I'm not sleeping I'm not sleeping I'm only resting my eyes I'm not sleeping I'm not sleeping I'm only takin' my time
Yeah, it's so hard to be responsible Knowin' everything, everything that's possible And when that bad wind, it comes blowin' in I pack my things, I move on again Feed the rich, eat the poor Stack their bodies outside my door
'Cause I'm not sleeping I'm not sleeping I'm only resting my eyes I'm not sleeping I'm not sleeping I'm only takin' my time
The world outside, it's such a dangerous place I don't dare, I don't dare show my face They got my number, yeah, they know where I live Got no more to say, got no more to give
Another night comes drawin' near I lock my doors and I disappear
I'm not sleeping I'm not sleeping I'm only resting my eyes Baby, I'm not sleeping I'm not sleeping I'm only takin' my time
I'm not sleeping I'm not sleeping Yeah, I'm only resting my eyes I'm not sleeping I'm not sleeping I'm only takin' my time
I'm not sleeping I'm not sleeping I'm not sleeping I'm not sleeping I'm not sleeping I'm not sleeping I'm not sleeping I'm not sleeping I'm not sleeping I'm not sleeping I'm not sleeping I'm not sleeping

[Verse 1] Down at the water, I held my Marie She said, "Now Johnny, your love means no more to me Than rain in the river Than rain in the river"
[Verse 2] In bloody boots, I stood on shadow ground Her long black hair beneath me, falling down Like rain in the river Like rain in the river
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3] Last night, I put on my jacket and I went for a ride Smelled sweet mustard fields, had my Colt at my side Like rain in the river The rain in the river
