Red Velvet Twilight
03:57
|
|

just another cowboy
sitting in the barroom
late at night
funny how it changed so suddenly
when you kissed me
under the red velvet twilight
the band was playing so loudly
i couldn't hear nothing louder
than the colour of your eyes
rock and roll man
you got a woman at home?
or can i make you mine
in the red velvet twilight
don't seem to know
how it got this far this fast
can't seem to find any reason
or make any sense
but i don't mind
then we skip down to the diner
under a spell of whiskey
the Skyline shines like a beacon
telling you and me
this is where we ought to be
i'll be leaving in the morning
in the same old clothes
but a new state of mind
take the stars out of our eyes
and hang them back
in the red velvet twilight
just another cowboy

Mulberry Tree
02:45
|
|
||
in the middle of the room
you put a blanket down
we lay on it all night
until the sun came out
tell me all the ways
you're gonna love me
singing all my praise
while we're singing in harmony
and i hear your name
blowing through the mulberry tree
my heart is tied to yours
like fine embroidery
finally i think we found
the kind of love we both need
i know you are a rambler
and i'm a wild card
so we made those vows together
underneath the stars
that i'd hop a train
and ride it
right around the lake
for a love that felt so wild
for a love that felt like fate
and i hear your name
blowing through the mulberry tree
my heart is tied to yours
like fine embroidery
finally i think we found
the kind of love we both need
and i hear your name
blowing through the mulberry tree
my heart is tied to yours
like fine embroidery
finally i think we found
the kind of love we both need

another town another show
another fairground rodeo
what a beautiful sight to see
your name up in lights
wish they were shining next to mine
singing just like June and Johnny
man on the road
i wanna go
where you go
where you go
weary days and lonesome nights
can't seem to get you off my mind
sending you treasure as i go along
i've been around most every place
but when i'm standing on that stage
i'm always travelling back to your song
a man on the road
i wanna go
where you go
where you go
all my heart shines for you
sparkling like our rhinestone suits
what a beautiful sight to see
something borrowed something blue
you got me and i got you
the stars have written it to be
and now i go where you go
where you go
now i go where you go
where you go
where you go

Lend Me Your Hand
03:29
|
|

the spring air is blowing in
laundry line with clean linen
have not seen your face since there was snow on your Cadillac
wish i could lay by your side
and untangle your twisted mind
leave your thoughts as soft as the shadows we cast
lend me your hand
and i'll pretend to read your palm
find and answer in the line
running so long
why was our love right and our timing wrong
a letter from Mexico
water in Lake Ontario
i am looking North
are you still looking South
western novel that you would read
motel room with wine stained sheets
Mary at the front desk knows our names very well
lend me your hand
and i'll pretend to read your palm
find and answer in the line
running so long
why was our love right and our timing wrong
an old dog on a new trail
lead you down to the river mill
dreaming of the day we can walk in the sun
or retire from the kitchen
to my guitar and your mandolin
for me your song is the only one
lend me your hand
and i'll pretend to read your palm
find and answer in the line
running so long
why was our love right and our timing wrong

Plane from Saskatoon
02:43
|
|
||
back when you were young
feeling mighty lonesome
searching for riches hidden in the land
sweeping dust floorboards
cleaning up the cobwebs
from that old chapel you found abandoned
i was riding fast and free
smell of summer peaches
winding through the breeze of the grand escarpment
bet if i knew you then
we would have got on well
bet if i knew you then
we would have been good friends
i hear these days
you're feeling blue
why don't you fly to me
on that plane from Saskatoon
row your wooden boat
in the river running through town
cast out your fishing line
lay your worried mind down
bet if i knew you then
we would have got on well
bet if i knew you then
we would have been good friends
i hear these days
you're feeling blue
why don't you fly to me
on that plane from Saskatoon

Throw Me A Bone
03:27
|
|

can i have a bit of what you're having?
these days i'm feeling mighty low
lend me a bit of what you're thinking
so tired of having to decode
can you throw me a bone?
give me one more chance
let me redeem my heart
let me have some rest
tell me another story
about a time you made it out so clean
doggin' me around like a secret
does your momma know how bad you've been?
can you throw me a bone?
give me one more chance
let me redeem my heart
let me have some rest

The Long Road
03:29
|
|

the lilacs are here for the summer
but i want to go back to the winter
when you were talking like
it was gonna get better
and you were making a plan
for us to be together
then you put on that country song
the one we both somehow know
tell me every thought you got
before you have to go
wouldn't it be nice
if we didn't always have to take
the long road
there was a promise hanging in the wind
from a life that was so close i could almost taste it
and you were talking like it was gonna get better
and you were making that plan for us to be together
then you put on that country song
the one we both somehow know
tell me every thought you got
before you have to go
wouldn't it be nice
if we didn't always have to take
the long road
put on that country song
the one we both somehow know
tell me every thought you got
before you have to go
wouldn't it be nice
if we didn't always have to take
didn't always have to take
didn't always have to take
didn't always have to take
the long road

Only Sometimes
03:52
|
|

on the Northside of Ontario
we went driving
down a familiar road
swore i'd been there before
but couldn't recognize
any of the road signs
then suddenly i realized
you only took me there sometimes
an envelope no return address
sending me your very best
these things are awfully nice
but something don't feel right
then suddenly it all made sense
i recognize those sentiments
the ones you gave me only sometimes
only sometimes
am i on your mind
only sometimes
do i get to walk by your side
i don't want to be
so unholy
i want to be always
not only sometimes
fresh cut flowers on the table
don't it feel so simple
sitting side by side
watching the time go by
then suddenly it came to me
you were never mine to keep
i only kept you sometimes
only sometimes
am i on your mind
only sometimes
do i get to walk by your side
i don't want to be
so unholy
i want to be always
not only sometimes

Goodbye, So Long
03:16
|
|

The river mouth is wide
it ain't whispering no more
you tried to keep it quiet
tried to damn up the shore
looking at me like a pretty sitting duck
well honey this time you've run outta luck
oh my, come on sing
oh lord, come on sing
oh my, come on sing
oh lord
bad man
bit off more than you could chew
sliding out of town
running from the truth
memories in the trees keep me going strong
you done me wrong too many times
Goodbye, so long
oh my, come on sing
oh lord, come on sing
oh my, come on sing
oh lord
memories in the trees keep me going strong
you done me wrong too many times
goodbye, so long
oh my, come on sing
oh lord, come on sing
oh my, come on sing
oh lord
(memories in the trees keep me going strong
you done me wrong too many times)

Oh Moon
03:12
|
|

the grackle birds were in the backyard all day
i was thinking of the words that i oughta say
to tell you it was wrong
we could not keep on
the way that we were keeping on
then the dog decided to chew up your left shoe
and i drank more whiskey than either of us could use
funny how sometimes
you do not even try
and you blow it all up like a stick of dynamite
oh moon
can we make amends
for this night when it all had to end
so you light a fire to burn the last page
throw on a log and a handful of dried sage
oh sleep with me tonight
make it feel alright
pretend we are not living in a lie
oh moon
can we make amends
for this night when it all had to end
in the morning i was seeing you with new eyes
you were looking so much older
and i was less hypnotized
it was all the same
but everything had changed
talking to me like i don't even know her name
oh moon
can we make amends
for this night when it all had to end
for this night it had to end

feels like we've been here before
the words sound the same
but in conversations I still try to always bring up your name
despite all the ugly lows
and the beautiful highs
i keep you in my heart so close
keep you gentle on my mind
last call from Montreal
we knew we had to lay it down
hope you are doing well
hope i'll be seeing you around
i watched you on a TV screen
playing familiar sounds
and i tried to focus on the lies and all the times you let me down
but i can't help recalling
when we came to understand
that this love was gonna change it all
much more than we had ever planned
last call from Montreal
we knew we had to lay it down
hope you are doing well
hope i'll be seeing you around
now we've gotta lick our wounds
and keep playing our shows
i have learned that gentle patience is the only way to let the garden grow
so take me with you down the road
and maybe we will meet
in that place that we felt so safe
and our love was so easy
last call from Montreal
we knew we had to lay it down
hope you are doing well
hope i'll be seeing you around
last call from Montreal
we knew we had to lay it down
hope you are doing well
hope i'll be seeing you around
