I have travelled the world around
Wondered far from home
Sailed the ocean in foreign skies
Still further to go
Back into my babies arms
From this world of woe
That was such a long long time ago
Captain hollered the Cabin Boy
Stared into the sun
Shadows waltzing so close behind
Ever far I run
Back into my babies arms
Safe from this world of woe
That was such a long long time ago
Sirens capture my trembling heart
What's to be will be
Moon is hidden, the deal is done
Spread your wings for me
Back into my babies arms
Rising soft and low
That was such a long long time ago
. . .

And in the dawning of the day in late september
There came a weeping from outside my chamber door
Weary from fever I rose up ??
A Raven with a broken wing yet nothing more
I turn my head the once and bird become a damsel
With lips of cherry, ivory skin and lustrous hair
Open the doorway wide and smile for her to enter
Not in my lifetime seen a beast so rare
Sweet thighs of ruin how I loved her, and I loved her
She muttered low and helped me to her infant breasts
Deliverance was long and strong as god's my witness
Babylon burning sorrow known with each caress
And let the night in
For you were broken
Too ill to touch
Too much
And with the medal Eguinal had done their duty
The morning glory lying awoke with duly low
I breathed my last the day the warning bell was knelling
She smoothed her feathers down and flew out my window
And let the night in
But you were broken
Too ill to touch
Too much
And let the night in
For you were broken
Too ill to touch
Too much
And let the night in
For you were broken
Too ill to touch
Too much

Salvation, Salvation
I never really want it to believe
I always thought you flattered to deceive
Salvation, Salvation
My blood is flowing like the tide
And blood is thick and so's my own grey hide
Got to get up and moan
Got to get up and moan
Got to get up and moan
Got to get up and moan
And I went out in that bad old world to roam
And I was like a stranger coming home
Salvation, Salvation
I'm fortunes son and I took what I could get
I loved you dear and never will forget
Salvation, Salvation
When my bridges burned all I saw was you
On the other side too good to be true
Got to get up and moan
Got to get up and moan
Got to get up and moan
Got to get up and moan
And I went out in that bad old world to roam
And I was like a stranger coming home
And I went out in that bad old world to roam
And I was like a stranger coming home

Who built the road
That lived in my self esteem
Twisted and crunched
Black metal and bones
Who passed the buck
Who pressed flesh to yours
Spilling like wine
And sweeter than tears
(Oh, I'll do more than survive
With trembling visions that
Terrify)
So who built the road
Who turned it all around
Picked through the wreck
Scrambled in the dust
So who built the road
Who was the foolish one
Stepped out of time
Two hearts in the fire
Who lit the touch
Who fanned the flame
With sparks in the dust
Spent rivers of desire
(Oh, why don't we learn from mistakes
We stumble along with so many more to make)
So who built the road
Who could foresee
The answers we sought
Were many miles to go
Lah lah...
We were so lonely at times
Fading away
Sitting side by side
Now we built the road
We were the chain gang
We crossed that at war
The devil at my side
Dark angel within
The ever lasting fire
Lah lah...

Like a thief
Crawling through the night
Like a drunk
Brawling in a fight
How she gonna know what is
Right from wrong
Come on over, turn me on
Sunday best
You're my favourite suit
You make the team
You're no substitute
I know baby I'm your
Favourite son, listen up babe
Come on over, turn me on
Is it any wonder
Is it any wonder
I lay awake all night
Is it any wonder
On a Sunday soon
I see the light
Tell me baby
Tell me pretty lies
See the spider
Been out catching flies
Will you leave me I know it
Won't be long before you
Come on over, turn me on
Is it any wonder
Is it any wonder
I lay awake all night
Is it any wonder
On a Sunday soon
I see the light
Like a blind man
Driving at the wheel
Like a hound dog
Scratching out a meal
You and I both know it
You belong
Come on over, turn me on
. . .

[Back Burner]
Put it on a back burner momma
I ain't gonna let you down
Put it on a back burner momma
Promise you I'll stick around
Everybody up and sliding
Bump and grinding
I ain't gonna let you down
Promise you I'll stick around
Put it on a back burner momma
I ain't gonna let you down
Put it on a back burner momma
Promise you I'll stick around
Ain't gonna be back sliding
Up and out again
I ain't gonna let you down
Promise you I'll stick around
Everybody up and sliding
Bump and grinding
I ain't gonna let you down
Promise you I'll stick around

The flame that burns
The flame that burns
The flame that burns
The flame that burns
The flame that burns
The flame that burns
??
Can't stop the tears when they fall from me
The flame that burns
Beware my child
Beware
To take care my friend
Got to take care
You don't know who to love
Don't know who to trust
Might hurt so bad
But goes where it must
The flame that burns
Repay we shall
We shall be free
The stars look down
Like dust
Have heart my child
Oh but you must
?

Oh Daddy
Layin' on my bed
Oh Daddy
Layin' on my bed
You'd better take that shotgun
And fill it full of lead
Oh Daddy
Love to hear you moan
Low
Oh Daddy
Love to hear you moan
I know the night's for rambling
But baby come on home
Oh Daddy
Climbing on your knee
Oh Daddy
Climbing on your knee
Got an itch needs scratching
You take good care of me
. . .

If you ever find that you've fallen behind
Please keep me in mind sweetheart
If your love is true then my money's on you
And you'll know what to do sweetheart
Summer was high when you caught my eye
Though I was pledged to another
The feeling was strong when you came along
Now Lord only knows how I suffer
Oh, if you change your mind
Leave our love behind
Just keep me in mind, sweetheart
Please keep me in mind, sweetheart
Summer was high when you caught my eye
Though I was pledged to another
The feeling was strong when you came along
Now Lord only knows how I suffer
If it's part of God's plan
Then you'll find where I am
Please keep me in mind, sweetheart
Just keep me in mind, sweetheart
Just keep me in mind, sweetheart

There's a mocking bird
Singing in the tree
Outside my window
Looking down on me
Give me a reason
Something to believe
Another season
I will sit and grieve
That bad old sun
Forever shining on
The world keeps turning
Though my hope is gone
I close my eyes
And when the day is done
I hang my head
And dream about no one
Show me direction
And I'm good to go
I'm trying hard
Always fall so low
And when I fall
There'll be another star
I'm chasing my tail
Always running
Oh it is so hard
With the answers I find
Weary of heart
Weary soul
Weak of mind
Oh it is so hard
Now you heard my song
Will you turn and go
Give me a reason
And I'll say it's so
If you stand by me
I could never leave
You'd be the reason
Something to believe
Something to believe
Something to believe
Something to believe
. . .

Trouble, oh trouble
Haven't slipped a day in years
Haven't slipped a day in years
Haven't slipped a day
Trouble, oh trouble
Haven't slipped a day in years
Haven't slipped a day in years
Haven't slipped a day
When the neon lights that find you
Leave our memory far behind you
Down the line I will remind you
Listen how I love you
Trouble, oh trouble
Haven't slipped a day in years
Haven't slipped a day in years
Haven't slipped a day
Trouble, oh trouble
Haven't slipped a day in years
Haven't slipped a day in years
Haven't slipped a day
When the world steals all hope from you
Wonder where you dreams have gone to
You're the one I still belong to
Listen why I love you
. . .

Oh Sally don't you cry
Oh Sally don't you cry
A man's a man
Does the best he can
Oh Sally don't you cry
Oh Sally don't you moan
Oh Sally don't you moan
Go hang up the phone
Give the dog a bone
Oh Sally don't you moan
Sally it ain't so bad
Sally it ain't so bad
I see you are mad
But he's the best you've had
Sally it ain't so bad
Oh Sally sail on by
Sweet Sally sail on by
Oh the times are hard when you question why
Oh Sally sail on by
Oh Sally sail on by
Oh Sally sail on by
