För Sent för Edelweiss

Du säger att kärleken aldrig var till för dig
Att du aldrig känt vinden högt över trädtoppen
Du säger att den delar sig vid kinden
Och blir hel igen bakom dig
Varje moln är trasigt
Du räknar allt sorgligt natten lång
Och hon du älskade en gång
Och kanske älskar än
Spelar det någon roll?
Nej kanske ingen
Kanske allt egentligen
Du säger 'har du tändstickor?'
- Ja tillräckligt om du vill bränna ner stockholm
'Och har du vin och sprit?'
- Så att det räcker att få hela fjärden full av sorger
Allt, det är för sent
För sent för vin, för sent för kärlek ren som snö
Inatt finns ingen väg tillbaks
Och du undrar vem som kysser henne nu
Du undrar vem
Vem om inte du
Och läpparna, du kallade dina
Det gör ont att veta
Men lika ont att undra
Du säger 'har du tändstickor?'
- Ja tillräckligt om du vill bränna ner stockholm
'Och har du vin och sprit?'
- Så att det räcker för att få hela fjärden full av sorger
Allt, det är för sent
För sent för vin, för sent för kärlek ren som snö
Inatt finns ingen väg tillbaks, ingen alls
För sent för edelweiss
Ingen alls
För sent för edelweiss
Ingen alls
För sent för edelweiss

Metal Firecracker
03:03

Once we rode together
In a metal firecracker
You told me I was your queen
You told me I was your biker
You told me I was everything
Once I was in your blood
And you were obsessed with me
You wanted to paint my picture
You wanted to undress me
You wanted to see me in your future
All I ask
Don't tell anybody the secrets
Don't tell anybody the secrets
I told you
All I ask
Don't tell anybody the secrets
Don't tell anybody the secrets
I told you
Once you held me so tight
I thought I'd lose my mind
You said I rocked your world
You said it was for all time
You said that I would always be your girl
We'd put on ZZ Top
And turn 'em up real loud
I used to think you were strong
I used to think you were proud
I used to think nothing could go wrong
All I ask
Don't tell anybody the secrets
Don't tell anybody the secrets
I told you
All I ask
Don't tell anybody the secrets
Don't tell anybody the secrets
I told you

Little Birdie

Little birdie, little birdie
Won’t you sing to me your song
Got a short time to stay here
And a long time to be gone
I'd rather be in some dark holler
Where the sun don't never shine
Than for you to be another man’s darling
And to know you'll never be mine
Little birdie, little birdie
What makes you fly so high
When you know that my true lover
Is waiting in the sky
Little birdie, little birdie
Won’t you sing to me your song
You’ve caused me lots of trouble
What you’ve caused me too, too long

Kiss-me each morning for a million years
Hold me each evening by your side
Tell me you'll love me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me, goodbye
Sweeten my coffee with a morning kiss
Soften my dreams with your sighs
Tell-me you'll love me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye
If you must go, oh no, I won't grieve
If you wait a lifetime before you leave
Then if you must go
(Mmm)
I won't tell you no
Just so that we can say we tried
Tell me you'll love me for a million years
Then if it don't work out
Then if it don't work out
Then you can tell me goodbye

Blood Bank
03:15

Well, I met you at the blood bank
We were looking at the bags
Wondering if any of the colors
Matched any of the names we knew on the tags
You said, "See look there, that's yours
Stacked on top with your brother's
See how they resemble one another
Even in their plastic little covers"
And I said I know it well
That secret that you knew
But you don't know how to tell
It fucks with your honor
And it teases your head
But you know that it's good, girl
'Cause it's running you with red
Then the snow started falling
We were stuck out in your car
You were rubbing both my hands
Chewing on a candy bar
You said, "Ain't this just like the present
To be showing up like this?"
As a moon waned to crescent
We started to kiss
And I said I know it well
That secret that we know
That we don't know how to tell
I'm in love with your honor
I'm in love with your cheeks
What's that noise up the stairs babe?
Is that Christmas morning creaks?
And I know it well
I know it well
And I know it well
And I know it well
And I know it well
And I know it well
And I know it well
And I know it well

Tears Are In Your Eyes
04:07

You tell me summer's here
And the time is wrong
You tell me winter's here
And your days are getting long
Tears are in your eyes tonight
You tell me that you haven't
Slept in days
You tell me sleeping only makes you tired
Anyway
Tears are in your eyes tonight
Tears are in your eyes every night
Although you don't believe me, you are strong
Darkness always turns into the dawn
And you won't even remember this for long
When it ends all right
Please tell me how you know tomorrow
Staring at your shoes
Tears are in your eyes every night
Tears are in your eyes every night
Tears are in your eyes tonight

Fairest of the Seasons
03:10

Now that it's time
Now that the hour hand has landed at the end
Now that it's real
Now that the dreams have given all they had to lend
I want to know
Do I stay or do I go
And maybe try another time
And do I really have a hand in my forgetting
Now that I've tried
Now that I've finally found that this is not the way
Now that I turn
Now that I feel it's time to spend the night away
I want to know
Do I stay or do I go
And maybe finally split the rind
And do I really understand the undernetting
Yes and the morning has me looking in your eyes and seeing mine
Warning me to read the signs carefully
Now that it's love
Now that the candle's falling smaller in my mind
Now that it's here
Now that I'm almost not so very far behind
I want to know
Do I stay or do I go
And maybe fall another side
And do I really have a sound that I can ride on
Now that I can
Now that it's easy ever easy all around
Now that I'm near
Now that I'm falling to the sunlights and to song
I want to know
Do I stay or do I go
And do I have to do just one
And can I choose again if I should lose the reason
Yes and the morning has me looking in your eyes and seeing mine
Warning me to read the signs oh carefully
Now that I smile
Now that I'm laughing even deeper in the side
Now that I see
Now that I finally found the one thing I denied
I want to know
Do I stay or do I go
And it is finally I decide
That I'll be leaving in the fairest of the seasons

Pink Rabbits
03:43
|

|
I couldn't find quiet
I went out in the rain
I was just soakin' my head to unrattle my brain
Somebody said you disappeared in a crowd
I didn't understand then
I don't understand now
Am I the one you think about
When you're sitting in your faintin' chair drinking Pink Rabbits?
Am I the one you think about
When you're sitting in your faintin' chair drinking Pink Rabbits?
And everybody was gone
You were staring down the street 'cause you were tryin' not to crack up
It wasn't like a rain, it was more like a sea
I didn't ask for this pain, it just came over me
I love a storm, but I don't love lightning
All the waters coming up so fast, it's frightening
Am I the one you think about
When you're Sitting in your faintin' chair drinking Pink Rabbits?
Am I the one you think about
When you're sitting in your faintin' chair drinking Pink Rabbits?
And everybody was gone
I was staring down the street 'cause I was trying not to crack
I was solid gold
I was in the fight
I was coming back
From what seemed like a ruin
I couldn't see
You coming so far
I just turn around
And there you are
I'm so surprised you want to dance with me now
I was just getting used to living life without you around
I'm so surprised you want to dance with me now
You always said I held you way too high off the ground
You didn't see me I was falling apart
I was a white girl in a crowd of white girls in the park
You didn't see me I was falling apart
I was a television version of a person with a broken heart
You didn't see me I was falling apart
I was a white girl in a crowd of white girls in a park
You didn't see me I was falling apart
I was a television version of a person with a broken heart
And everybody was gone
You were staring down the street cause you were trying not to crack up
Bona Drag was still on
Now I only think about Los Angeles when the sound kicks out
Now I only think about Los Angeles when the sound kicks out
You said it would be painless
A needle in the dark
You said it would be painless
It wasn't that at all
You said it would be painless
A needle in the dark
You said it would be painless
It wasn't that at all (when the sound kicks out)
You said it would be painless
The needle in the dark (when the sound kicks out)
You said it would be painless
It wasn't that at all

Lost Highway
04:34
|

I'm a rolling stone
All alone and lost
Oh, the life of sin
I have paid the cost
When I pass by
All the people say
Just another guy
On the lost highway
Turn it on Mr. Turner
Oh, make your momma proud of you, boy
Yes
For a deck of cards
And a jug of gin
And a woman's lies
Built this road of sin
The day we met
I went astray
Started rolling down
That lost highway
Oh, that just flattens me up, really
Greatest thing in the world, i mean, man, that's great
I was just a lad
Nearly twenty-two
Neither good nor bad
Just a guy like you
Now I'm lost
Too late to pray
Lord, I've paid the cost
On the lost highway
Now, boys, don't start
Your rambling round
On this road of sin
Are you sorrow bound?
Take my advice
Or you're cursed the day
You've paid the price
Of the lost highway

In My Life
03:00

There are places I'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more
