Blue Moon

Dust is gathering on the floor
And no one walks down there anymore
From dusk to dawn
It used to be a record store
And every night the kids would hang out by the door
From dusk to dawn
Hey there sunshine this blue moonlight is fogging up my window
Hey there sunshine this blue moonlight will fade away with winter
The Boss's picture's fallen off the fallen
A faded mugshot, Chairmen of the Board
He's gone home
The King's heart gave out on the thrown
The Man in Black ain't staring back at me no more
He's gone home
Tonight I'll peel the writing off the wall
And tonight I'm dreaming louder than before
Hey there sunshine this blue moonlight is fogging up my window
Hey there sunshine this blue moonlight will fade away with winter

Jericho

Tell me that you'll never go across the Sound to Jericho
Gotta feel out this one babe
Tell m that you'll never go across the Sound to Jericho
Just let those walls come tumbling down
Nothing in this world will catch your eye
Like the shine of racing time
You're heart's spread thin for you're desire
Something else, that's you and I
So we can say at least we tried
You're heart's spread thin so go and find her
I'll hold on when you're gone
Once the hushed town whispers reach my ear they'll say
She left behind an empty home that day
Tell me that you'll never go across the Sound to Jericho
Gotta feel out this one babe
Tell m that you'll never go across the Sound to Jericho
Just let those walls come tumbling down
I'll hold on when you're gone
Nothing in this world will catch your eye
Like the rhyme of your disguise
A fleeting heart's on the horizon
Sky fallen down
Something else, that's you and I
So we can say at least we tried
We gotta feel out this one babe
I'll hold on when you're gone
Once the hushed town whispers catch my ear they'll say
She left behind an empty home that day
Tell me that you'll never go across the Sound to Jericho
Gotta feel out this one babe
Tell m that you'll never go across the Sound to Jericho
Just let those walls come tumbling down
I'll hold on when you're gone

Beauty in a Bullfight
03:58
|

I am old
Ain't got no one, no place to call home
In a storm, I'm stranded
She said there is beauty in a bullfight, ain't no easy way to me
I would run down every poor soul in this tow, girl
If you took on my name
You've got to understand
That my heart's in another's hand
And I could never be truly yours
You've got to make a stand
Don't need a child, I need a man
It's time to act like you want more
I am old
Ain't got no one, no place to call home
In a storm, I'm stranded
She said there is beauty in a bullfight, ain't no easy way to me
I would run down every poor soul in this tow, girl
If you took on my name
Would you care to indicate
To the courtroom here today
The man who broke into your house
A madman in a jealous rage
Stormed in shouting out insane
The man who shot my husband down
I am old
Ain't got no one, no place to call home
In a storm, I'm stranded
She said there is beauty in a bullfight, ain't no easy way to me
I would run down every poor soul in this tow, girl
If you took on my name

Betty's Boy
04:51
|

If I catch you knocking around here again
I'll surely call the cops
I've had all I can take from you
And this has got to stop
I'm sure you're just fine
But you ain't mine
Just 'cause you're Betty's Boy
Nine month tour and not a word
You moved out the next day
Betty, I was on my knees
Begging you to stay
I'm sure he's just fine
The kid ain't mine
Betty he is not my boy
Take him home away from here
Oh Betty he is not my boy

Old Stones

Long past the usual stone casting hour
And not far from the hill with the house atop the small slope
Dodging the line and sink that fell down out of the night
I try and hold myself together
If not for the sound, I would cast a stone
The moon must cast for want of wretched men
I would not be the first to speak wary of those thoughts
Conceived in lapping light, for they prod and prod again
And dangle hardly out of reach
In that moment of outstretched arms is the tug beneath your lip
Shame if I too should by lured by fool's tackle
Daybreak will see the clearing waters
And shame if I too should be caught in dark tides
Surely a moment apart from the restless churn
Of this night is but a stones throw away
The clap of stone on wave will not reach home
But fear that the daydreaming moon should turn spotlight in the night-
Tonight, after all, is not one for the casting of old stones.
