LYRICS

All The Luck In The World

you see the choice in front of you
and though it's hard to make
you feel you will come through

you feel how everyone has changed
but they know who you are
and they're watching what you do

when they say that they wish youall the luck in the world
when they say that they'll miss youwhen you're gone

you walked through their frozen worlds
you knew they would come down
as soon as you came to

you left them standing all around
the ghost that had been gone
the one they thought they knew

when they said that they wished youall the luck in the world
when you know that they'd loveto see you fall

you tried to do the best you could
it wasn't quite enough
but what else could you do

to find a way to make this real
a way to find your own
a way to stay true

when they say that they wish youall the luck in the world
when you know that they'd loveto see you fall

Angels On Hold

when they come for you
don't let them take your heart
if you forget what's true
just remember thateverything has its start
everything has its start

now, take a look at these hands
fields of blue, unfold
to greet the three wise men
who somehow forgot to puttheir angels on hold
their angels on hold

now, see those two lost gods
trying everything they can
to find a home in this world
they'll try anything to get you
to love them again
to love them again

so, when they come for you
pointing their fingers so cold
don't forget all of your friends
who would always be happy to put
your angels on hold
your angels on hold ...

Annabelle

it's 3 o'clock in the morning and we're still here
and everybody has been talking
about what went down this year, Annabelle
Annabelle, I wish you well

I hitched a ride to the desert to see uncle Jack
I spent the night in his cabin
without a care of coming back, Annabelle
Annabelle, I wish you well

you really came out of nowhere in no time at all
I know it ain't my business
but someone's bound to take a fall, Annabelle
Annabelle, I wish you well

could you live a life without bloodif you weren't on your own
and could you wave those diamonds goodbyeif you weren't so far from home

so now you go to the mirror but you can't trace
the broken path of your lover
who ain't concerned with saving face, Annabelle
Annabelle, I wish you well

so say farewell to the flowers that brought you here
and say hello to your homeland
you're coming home again my dear Annabelle
Annabelle, I wish you well

I wish you well Annabelle
Annabelle, I wish you well

could you live a life without blood ...

Virginia Dare

you were here, now you're gone
hoping just to find some place where you belong
let me know before too long
how the world's been treating you
and if you've finally heard that song
to make you wanna stay
and if so, let it play

I find it hard to see you now
as if you never even really come around
left behind, feeling down
it's not that I'd forgotten you
it's not as if I'd said a wordto make you wanna stay, anyway

oh, Virginia dare
you're on my mind
oh, Virginia dare

before the flood comes rushing in
we should try to find some place to start again
it's only life, it's always been
the same things confusing you
about the life you couldn't find
to make you wanna stay
what can I say

oh, Virginia dare
you're on my mind
oh, Virginia dare

To Look For You

waiting for someone to come to my door
to help me remember why I'm here
a face from a picture left on my floor
has told me this story so unclear

to look for you
to follow through somehow

gone are the lovers that I'd known before
and gone are my friends from long ago
above the bright blue there is no star at all
around them is nothing that I've known

to look for you
to find you, somehow
somehow
 

Pilot's Song

all the time you'd spent alone in your room
with all the dreams you'd set aside
they've all come back again and none to soon
and some might say just in time

but do you really need someone
do you really need someone to stay

the things you'd said to me I took to heart
I didn't want to and I tried
to let them drift away to stand apart
and just for once take this in stride

but I really need someone
you know I really need someone
you know I really need someone
you know I really need someone to stay

ring that evening bell, oh, when all is well
what it means, oh, but you can't tell
if it's lost or if it's just falling down

as all your pilots died one by one
their ashes scattered to the wind
you'll circle far'n'wide, face towards the sun
you'll never fly this high again

that's when you're gonna need someone
you know you're gonna need someone
that's when you're gonna need someone
you know you're gonna need someone

you know you're gonna need someone ...
 

Best to believe

everybody's leaving, they're going far away
they're taking nothing that might remind them of today
they're sweeping out the ashes and singing to the breeze
they only know that they're best to believe
they only know that they're best to believe

from the highway of diamonds I sent you all my love
I sent you good news every time they wished me luck
and now I'm passing by the brakeman who says just wait and see
he only knows that he's best to believe

he only knows that he's best to believe
he only knows that he's best to believe
the peddler and the parson asked for no reprieve
they only know that they're best to believe

the October ladies, they're just standing still
they talk of flying and being buried on a hill
they're shipping out this morning, they're praying for godspeed
they only know that they're best to believe
they only know that they're best to believe

all of your disappointments are hoping for a rest
they've asked for nothing except wishing you the best
of all that you have imagined but you never really see
they only know that you're best to believe

they only know that you're best to believe
they only know that you're best to believe
a sister and a brother might be just a dream
but I only know that I'm best to believe
a sister and a brother might be just a dream
but I only know that I'm best to believe
I only know that I'm best to believe
I only know that I'm best to believe

 

Name In Vain

they were supposedto be having such a good time
the flowers were there
but the guests had not yet arrived

but they prayed for you anyway
and they tried not to use his name in vain

my eyes going bad
I had to smile to see you cry
the bottom dropped outsomewhere along the way

but I won't drag your name around
when there's no one left to turn me down

expecting the worstwas the best that they could do
oh, just by a chance
would you ever make it alone

but they prayed for you anyway
yes, they prayed for you anyway
but they prayed for you anyway
yes, they prayed for you anyway
and they tried not to use his name in vain

they were supposedto be having such a good time

I Will Weep No More

the freeway is filling upas the sun is coming up
and I, I will weep no more
and my love was filling up
her flesh formed a cup
and I, I will weep no more

and everything that lays in scatter
from all of last nights chatter
and I, I will weep no more
the smoke that's still in turn
from the cigarette that burns
and I, I will weep no more

so let the memories just be
like the leaves around the trees
and I, I will weep no more
I, I will weep no more

and when ugly sight
means nothing to the blind
I, I will weep no more
and when our last fight
it seems utterly unkind
I, I will weep no more

and when the blood slows down
to a deep black sound
I, I will weep no more
and when the cheated groom
well he empties like the room
I, I will weep no more

I, I will weep no more ...

and when these tired eyes
can only see to the inside
I, I will weep no more
and when my careless tongue
speaks of nothing and no one
I said that I, I will weep no more

and when I turn away from you
and there's nothing to improve
oh I, I will weep no more
so let recklessness abide
to everything we cannot hide
'cause I, I will weep, I will weep no more

I, I will weep no more
I, oh I will weep, I will weep no more

Hands On The Plow

there is nothing I can say to you now
of all the years that passed away
with your hands on the plow

can't you see that they're gone
can't you see that they're gone

20 long years down the line
was all that you had to show
a trail of coaldust left behind
in the rain and the snow

you had to lay your body down
you had to lay your body down
on a homeground

you've always talked about the wind
and what a friend it could be
they'd never hear from you again
and though it's hard to believe

you had to bring your brother home
you had to bring your brother home, oh yeah

it was always blood and stone
that brought you to her door
on a ship so far from home
with only love as the law

she's all you need to carry on
she's all you need to carry on
oh, carry on

Break Even

hanging round the diner
just trying to break even
standing on a corner
just waiting to collect all of the moneythat you owe me
hello honey, how have you been

well, I didn't know that you'd been lost
I couldn't see the difference
between what you had and what you owed
you didn't seem to care or even worry
about the distance back when it mattered
but now it doesn't

and we won't be going too much further
and we won't be breaking much new ground
and we won't be feeling that much freer
from here on out

well, I was hoping that what we had might last
if only for a while
is it good to see a long lost friend
or would you rather not go through the trouble
to fake a smile
hey, maybe next time, don't even bother

I'll get up to see you out
and watch you through the window
but I'll be thinking to myselfthat nothing's really changedmoving in circles somewhere behind me
it used to matter but now it doesn't

and we won't be going too much further
and we won't be breaking much new ground
and we won't be feeling that much freer
from here on out

from here on out ...

You Don't See Me Crying

You tell me that you're so sad and blue
But I don't see you crying
It can't be that bad for you
If I don't see you crying

You're falling too fast
Finding out the hard way it's tough to make a good thing last

It's such a different world now
And it brings me down sometimes
If I make it back to you
You won't see me crying

It's all in the past
No one ever told me that time was gonna go so fast

Everybody's talking but I don't understand
I get a little lost in the time that I began
Now I'm living as fast as I can
I'm running as fast as I can

It's all in the past
No one ever told me that this could all be gone in a...

Flash-back to everything that we've been through
And you don't see me crying

You don't see me crying

Travelling After Dark
 

I'm travelling after dark
I'm running down the road
Straight into the heart
Of a place I've never known
I'm looking for a sign
Guided by the stars
But until I see your light
I'm just travelling after dark

Did we take the part of you?
Natural the most
The one thing that was true
The thing you held so close
Got bridges all burned down
Gotta head back to the stars
But until you make it back
You're just travelling after dark

Travelling after dark
Guided by the stars
Just dream another dream
And may it take you far
Travelling after dark

We all want something real
And we're all hoping to find
A closer way to feel
Just one thing to remind
Just one way to forgive
Sometimes you fall too far
Just someone to be with
When we're travelling after dark

Travelling after dark
Guided by the stars
Let's dream another dream
And may it take us far
Travelling after dark

It's time you go to him
Cus he really needs you now
His days are closing in
And you've never let him down
He's running out of time
You know this in your heart
You won't leave him behind
When he's travelling after dark
He'll just be travelling after dark

Travelling after dark
Guided by the stars
Just dream another dream
And may it take you far
Travelling after dark
 

A Message You Can Send
 

A quarter for a payphone-call to Houston
I see that writing on the wall
She's down and out again

Momma, will you still be her friend?
Momma, would you take her back again?

She's got no one to talk to
When she comes home at night
She's got no one to talk to
She keeps it all inside
She's got no one to talk to
She lays down in size
It's no lonely life

Well you'd be proud if you'd just come to see her
Lately I'm the only who even lends a hand
Momma, I will do the best I can
Momma, I don't think you understand

She's got no one to talk to
When she comes home at night
She's got no one to talk to
She keeps it all inside
She's got no one to talk to
She lays down in size
It's no lonely life
It's no lonely life

Tearing out the pages in my phonebook
I see the writing on the wall
I won't need this again
Momma, is there a message you can send?
Momma, you can't turn your back again

She's got no one to talk to
When she comes home at night
She's got no one to talk to
She keeps it all inside
She's got no one to talk to
She lays down in size
It's no lonely life
 

Too Far To Fall
 

When I'm all alone
I don't wonder why
I don't think of anyone

I just put my records on
I don't even try
To get through to anyone

Feeling good, feeling bad
Feeling nothing at all
If I could, I'd go back
But it's too far to fall

Wish I had the time to spend the day with you
And see your speckled shoulders
No rising line
And no one passing through
And no more getting older

It seems like every day, another night goes by
Another friend goes under
I tried to save them all, but I couldn't save myself
Sometimes it makes me wonder how this heart burns

Feeling good, feeling bad
Feeling nothing at all
If I could, I'd go back
But it's too far to fall

If you really won't be with me just say the word
And I'll be out of your way now
If you really won't believe me, tell me [???]
And I'll be out of your way now
Out of your way now

Feeling good, feeling bad
Feeling nothing at all
If I could, I'd go back
But it's too far to fall

 

Sundowntown
 

Sundown
Swept me off my feet
Downtown
I stepped inot the street

I never thought something that could take so long
Could be
Something that made me feel that went so wrong
You see

Sundown, downtown
What's it gonna be?

I'll wait for you to come my way
Take what you give me
I won't beg you to stay

Cause you know it's been a long time
Since I've seen your face
It's been a long time
Since I felt this way
Since I felt this way

Sundown
I'm feeling things I've never felt
Downtown
I just could not help myself

I never thought that I could ever hurt so bad
It's true
Over something that I've never even had
It's you

Sundown, downtown
What can I do?

I'll wait for you to come my way
Take what you give me
I won't beg you to stay

Cause you know it's been a long time
Since I've seen your face
It's been a long time
Since I felt this way

Don't you know it's been a long time
Since I've seen your face
It's been a long time
Since I felt this way
Since I felt this way
Since I felt this way
And I just can't stay

 

Sleeping Pills in Stereo
 

I've been waiting for a face to change
All I do is just sleep all day
All I do is just sleep all day

The world keeps spinning as the daylight fades
I wonder why you have to be this way
I wonder why you have to be the way that you are
And you are so far from me

Should I go away or should I come home?
Should I stay here with you or can I make it alone?
It's so hard to choose
Cus' either way I lose
Either way I'm losing you

I keep looking for someone in my dreams
I see her out at least once a day
I see her once and then just slips away

Sleeping pills in stereo your very best [???]
I hope they're doing all the things that you say
I hope they're helping to keep you the way that you are
And you are so close to me

Should I go away or should I come home?
Should I stay here with you or can I make it alone?
It's so hard to choose
Cus' either way I lose
Either way I'm losing you
Either way I'm losing you

It seems like so many years that we've been waiting
I never knew this could be so complicated
I don't know why but it's always been this way
Either way I'm losing you
Either way I'm losing you

I've been waiting for a face to change
All I do is just sleep all day
All I do is just sleep all day

Should I go away or should I come home?
Should I stay here with you or can I make it alone?
Should I go away or should I come home?
Should I stay here with you or can I make it alone?
It's so hard to choose
Cus' either way I lose
Either way I'm losing you
Either way I'm losing you
Either way I'm losing you

 

Remember What It's Like

Maybe it's too early to talk about this
But I can't wait
It's easy to act like you just don't exist
Or that it's too late

Let me be your friend again
Let yourself really feel again
Feel again

Do you remember what it's like?

Never before have I felt anything quite like this
The miles that I drive and the songs that I sing
The people I've missed

Bring them all back to me again
Let them all be with me again
Me again

Do you remember what it's like?
Do you remember what it's like?
Do you remember what it's like?
Cus I remember what it's like
I remember what it's like
I remember what it's like

I wish you were there just to answer my call
And talk for a while
To me it's as clear as your shadow on the wall
Could I ever call it mine?

Bring it all home to me again
I let myself really feel again
Feel again

Do you remember what it's like?
Do you remember what it's like?
Do you remember what it's like?
Cus I remember what it's like
I remember what it's like
I remember what it's like
 

Death of a Dream
 

I thought I'd learned my lesson
I thought i had it all
I never thought I had find myself with my back against the wall

I'm waiting in a corner
For a chance to make my move
To come as far as me
With still so much left to prove

Death of a dream
Death of a dream
How much do I have to see
Before I believe?

Before I believe?

I've got a ways to travel
Before I mellow out
I never thought I had find myself doing the thing I'm doing now

A blanket for Patricia
A straight bullet for me
We all know she is beautiful
But what does it really mean?

Death of a dream
Death of a dream
How much do I have to see
Before I believe?

Death of a dream
Oh, death of a dream
How much do I have to see
Before I believe?

Before I believe?
Before I believe?

Death of a dream...
