Cassius Clay was hated more than Sonny Liston
Some like KK Downing more than Glenn Tipton
Some like Jim Nabors, some Bobby Vinton
I like 'em all
I put my feet up on the coffee table
I stay up late watching cable
I like old movies with Clark Gable
Just like my dad does
Just like my dad did when he was home
Staying up late, staying up alone
Just like my dad did when he was thinking
Oh, how fast the years fly
I know an old woman ran a doughnut shop
She worked late serving cops
But then one morning, baby, her heart stopped
Place ain't the same no more
Place ain't the same no more
Not without my friend Eleanor
Place ain't the same no more
Man, how things change
I buried my first victim when I was nineteen
Went through her bedroom and the pockets of her jeans
And found her letters that said so many things
That really hurt me bad
I never breathed her name again
But I like to dream about what could have been
I never heard her calls again
But I like to dream
. . .

Sorry that I could never love you back
I could never care enough in these last days
Her tears fell on her pages, found me out
On her words, I don't know what to do or say
Wading through warm canals and pools clear blue
The Tuscarawas flows into the prairie land
Riding back where the highway met dead end tracks
The ground is now cement and glass and far away
Heal her soul
Carry her, my angel, Ohio
Lingering in, what about the sweetness we knew?
What about what's good, what's true from those days?
Can't count to all the lovers I've burned through
So why do I still burn for you? I cannot say
Sorry that I could never love you back
I could never care enough in these last days
Heal her soul
Carry her, my angel, Ohio
Children blush and gather 'round the home, she rests
So poor and gold with their Midwest moon and sun
Flashes bringing on my open eyes, the lightning storm
The tortured mist felt soft, felt warm on my face
Craving dreams a million miles ago, you see
And the star that I just don't see anymore
Words long gone, lost on journeys we walked on
Lost are voices heard along the way
Sorry for never going by your door
Never feeling love like that anymore
Heal her soul
Carry her, my angel, Ohio

Salvador Sanchez
Arrived and vanished
Only twenty-three with so much speed
Owning the highway
Mexico City bred so many
But none quite like him
Street warrior
Pure magic matador
Pancho Villa
Would never rest
'Til 1925, he closed his eyes
'Til Manilla stars would rise
Gozo of the Phillipines
Choirs and angels sing
Ukelele strings play for his legend
Italy had a king
How have they gone?
Fell by leather
So alone
All bound together
Benny "Kid" Paret
Came a good way
Climbed to the gray sky to raise his hands
Stopped by the better man
Eyes of Los Rios
Cry for sons
Lost on distant shores, unforeseen horrors
Struck and delivered him
How have they gone?
Fell by leather
So alone
All bound together
How have they gone?
Fell by leather
So alone
All bound together
. . .

Every bird fell weak on lifeless ground
Every eye swelled from tears ever clear
Every seed broken in spring lived 'til fall
All your babies will be around to see them growing up
Will you be here with me, my love
When the warm sun turns to ash
And the last tide disappears?
All darkness near
I kept quiet so you'd think my heart was tough
I never showed you if I loved you enough
The dreams I had I kept, but I wouldn't dare
Share with you for fear of things still living in me
Will you be next to me, my love
When the cold moon vanishes
And the last cries, no yells
For it to hear?
. . .

Come to me, my love
One more night, come on
'Cause I don't want to be without
Without you
In the air tonight, so cold and strange
Winter of loss when I have changed
She is floating out too soon
So soon
In our room, inside
With these ones I want to hide
She is floating out too fast
Too fast
Come to me, my love
One more night, come on
'Cause I just want to talk with you
Again
Come to me, my love
One more night, come on
'Cause I just want to hold you close
Again
. . .

Smile down on us, sun
Show your rays when things come undone
All animals lead us to light
When we can't see
Stars, Saturn and moon
Glow for those who cannot get through
Rain fall and voice sound
For those of whom still are not found
Gentle moon
Find us soon
Gentle moon
Find us soon
Black sky and black sea
Lighten up when we can't breathe
All dreams escape fire
Over worlds, fly but won't tire
Slow down on us, wind
Hold us still when everything spins
All secrets and lies
Let them out
Dreams escape fire
They won't tire
Dreams escape fire
They won't tire
Gentle moon
Find us soon
Gentle moon
Find us soon
All calendars pass
Days die off and hope cannot last
But if love is like stone
Yours was mine through to my bones
Oh, but how can we give
Back to those with whom we can't live?
When will the flame break
And spare the good people it takes?
Souls escape fire
They rise higher
Souls escape fire
They rise higher
Gentle moon
Find us soon
Gentle moon
Find us soon
. . .

Here she comes breaking through my window
In the early morning hours
For the moment I am disrupted
But in time she'll make me smile
All the wondrous animals
Roaming around the earth
Bring us songs of calm
They do no wrong, they do no wrong
You don't know just how much I miss you
Yeah, my stomach aches in your absence
I don't know what I'd do without you
'Cause I'd have no one to follow
You are my love
I hold you above
Everything and everyone
Yeah, everyone, everyone
Hear outside, all the kids are playing
They're my wake up call each day
Look at them, their little lives beginning
I have watched them over years
Blooming like sweet roses
Drying their wet noses
No thought of the cold
Yeah, I feel old, I feel old
Yesterday we found a hidden passage
And I opened my sleepy eyes
Through the trees parrots swept up past us
And the gardens there smelled good
All the pretty houses
Decoratively colored
Tonight I want no other
Than my own, than my own
. . .

Looking out on my roof last night
Woken up from a dream
I saw a typhoon coming in close
Bringing the clouds down to the sea
Making the world look gray and alone
Taking all light from my view
Keeping everyone in
And keeping me here with you
Around you now
I can't sleep no more, baby
Around you still
Don't want to leave yet
Woken up from a dream last night
Somewhere lost in war
I couldn't feel my feet or hands
I didn't feel right anymore
I knew there I'd die alone
With no one to reach to
But an angel came down
And brought me back to you
I'd rather leave
This world forever, baby
Than let life go
The way it's going
Watching an old fight film last night
Ray Mancini and Duk Koo Kim
The boy from Seoul was hanging on good
But the pounding took to him
And there in the square he lay alone
Without face, without crown
And the angel who looked upon him
She never came down
You never know
What day is gonna pick you, baby
Out of the air
Out of nowhere
Come to me once more, my love
Show me love I've never known
Oh, come to me once more, my love
Show me love I've never known
Oh, come to me once more, my love
Show me love I've never known
Come to me once more, my love
Show me love I've never known
Oh, sing to me once more, my love
Words from your younger years
Oh, sing to me once more, my love
Words from your younger years
Oh, sing to me once more, my love
Words from your younger years
Oh, sing to me once more, my love
Words from your younger years
Come to me once more, my love
