LONESOME DAY
Baby once I thought I knew
Everything I needed to know about you
Your sweet whisper, your tender touch
I didn''t really know that much
The joke''s on me, it''s gonna be okay
If I can just get through this lonesome day
Lonesome day
Hell''s brewing, dark sun''s on the rise
This storm will blow through bye and bye
House on fire, vipers in the grass
A little revenge and this too shall pass
This too shall pass darling, yeah I''m gonna pray
Right now, all I got''s this lonesome day
Lonesome day
It''s alright, it''s alright, it''s alright, yeah
It''s alright, it''s alright, it''s alright, yeah
It''s alright, it''s alright, it''s alright, yeah
It''s alright, It''s alright...
Better ask questions before you shoot
This seed of betrayal''s a bitter fruit
Its hard to swallow comes the end of day
That taste on your tongue don''t easily slip away
Thy kingdom come I''m gonna find my way
Yeah, through this lonesome day
Lonesome day
Lonesome day
Lonesome day
It''s alright, it''s alright, it''s alright, yeah
It''s alright, it''s alright, it''s alright, yeah
It''s alright, it''s alright, it''s alright, yeah
It''s alright, it''s alright, it''s alright, yeah
It''s alright, it''s alright, it''s alright, yeah
It''s alright, its'' alright, it''s alright, now
Lonesome day
Lonesome day
Lonesome day

INTO THE FIRE
The sky was falling and streaked with blood
I heard you calling me then you disappeared into the dust
Up the stairs, into the fire
Yeah, Up the stairs, into the fire
I need your kiss, but love and duty called you someplace higher
Somewhere up the stairs, into the fire
May your strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love give us love
May your strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love bring us love
You gave your love to see in fields of red and autumn brown
You gave your love to me and lay your young body down
Up the stairs, into the fire
Up the stairs, into the fire
I need you near, but love and duty called you someplace higher
Somewhere up the stairs, into the fire
May your strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love give us love
May your strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love bring us love
May your strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love bring us love
It was dark, too dark to see, you held me in the light you gave
You lay your hand on me
Then walked into the darkness of your smoky grave
Up the stairs, into the fire
Up the stairs, into the fire
I need your kiss, but love and duty called you someplace higher
Somewhere up the stairs, into the fire
May your strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love give us love
May your strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love bring us love
May your strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love bring us love
May your strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love bring us love...
May your love bring us love

WAITIN'' ON A SUNNY DAY
It''s rainin'' but there ain''t a cloud in the sky
Must of been a tear from your eye
Everything''ll be okay
Funny, thought I felt a sweet summer breeze
Must of been you sighin'' so deep
Don''t worry, we''re gonna find a way
I''m waitin'', waitin'' on a sunny day
Gonna chase the clouds away
Yeah, I''m waitin'' on a sunny day
Without you I''m workin'' with the rain fallin'' down
I''m half a party in a one dog town
I need you to chase these blues away
Without you, I''m a drummer girl that can''t keep a beat
An ice cream truck on a deserted street
I hope that you''re coming to stay
I''m waitin'', waitin'' on a sunny day
Gonna chase the clouds away
I''m waitin'' on a sunny day
Hard times baby, well they come to us all
Sure as the tickin'' of the clock on the wall
Sure as the turnin'' of the night into day
Your smile girl, brings the morning light to my eyes
Lifts away the blues when I rise
I hope that you''re coming to stay
''Cause I''m waitin'', waitin'' on a sunny day
Gonna chase the clouds away
Waitin'' on a sunny day
Do do do doo do do do doo...

NOTHING MAN
I dont'' remember how I felt
I never thought I''d live
To read about myself
In my hometown paper
How my brave young life
Was forever changed
In a misty cloud of pink vapor
Darlin'' give me your kiss
Only understand
I am, the nothing man
Around here, everybody acts the same
Around here, everybody acts like nothing''s changed
Friday night, the club meets at Al''s Barbecue
The sky''s still the same unbelievable blue
Darlin'' give me your kiss
Come and take my hand
I am, the nothing man
Do do do doo do do do doo...
You can call me Joe
Buy me a drink and shake my hand
You want courage
I''ll show you courage you can understand
The pearl and silver
Resting on my night table
It''s just me Lord
Pray I''m able
Darlin'' with this kiss
Say you understand
I am, the nothing man
I am, the nothing man
Do do do doo do do do doo...

COUNTIN'' ON A MIRACLE
It''s a fairytale so tragic
There''s no prince to break the spell
I don''t believe in magic
But for you I will, Yeah for you I will
If I''m a fool, I''ll be a fool
Darlin'' for you
Well I''m countin'' on a miracle
Baby I''m countin'' on a miracle
Darlin, I''m countin on a miracle
To come through
There ain''t no storybook story
There''s no never-ending song
Our happily ever after Darlin''
Forever come and gone
Yeah, I''m movin'' on
I''m gonna believe
I''ll put my faith
Darlin'' in you
Well, I''m countin'' on a miracle
Baby, I''m countin'' on a miracle
Darlin'', I''m countin'' on a miracle
To come through
Sleepin'' Beauty awakes from her dream
Lover''s kiss on her lips
Your kiss was taken from me
Now all I have is this
Your kiss, your kiss, your touch, your touch
Your heart, your heart, your strength, your strength
Your hope, your hope, your faith, your faith
Your face, your face, your love, your love
Your dream, your dream, your life, your life
I''m runnin'' through the forest
With the wolf at my heels
My king is lost at midnight
When the tower bells peal
We''ve got no fairytale ending
In God''s hands our fate is complete
Your heaven''s here in my heart
Our love''s this dust beneath my feet
Just this dust beneath my feet
If I''m gonna live
I''ll lift my life
Darlin'' to you
Well, I''m countin'' on a miracle
Baby, I''m countin'' on a miracle
Darlin, I''m countin on a miracle
To come through
Well, I''m countin'' on a miracle
Baby, I''m countin'' on a miracle
Darlin, I''m countin on a miracle
To come through
Well, I''m countin'' on a miracle
Baby, I''m countin'' on a miracle
Darlin, I''m countin on a miracle
To come through
Well, I''m countin'' on a miracle...

EMPTY SKY
I woke up this morning
I could barely breathe
Just an empty impression
In the bed where you used to be
I want a kiss from your lips
I want an eye for an eye
I woke up this morning to an empty sky
Empty sky, Empty sky
I woke up this morning to an empty sky
Empty sky, Empty sky
I woke up this morning to an empty sky
Blood on the streets
Blood flowin'' down
I hear the blood of my blood
Cryin'' from the ground
Empty sky, Empty sky
I woke up this morning to an empty sky
Empty sky, Empty sky
I woke up this morning to an empty sky
On the plains of Jordan
I cut my bow from the wood
Of this tree of evil
Of this tree of good
I want a kiss from your lips
I want an eye for an eye
I woke up this morning to an empty sky
Empty sky, empty sky
I woke up this morning to an empty sky
Empty sky, empty sky
I woke up this morning to an empty sky

WORLDS APART
Li li li li li li li li li li
Li li li li li li li li li li
I hold you in my arms, yeah that''s when it starts
I seek faith in your kiss, and comfort in your heart
I taste the seed upon your lips, lay my tongue upon your scars
But when I look into your eyes, we stand worlds apart
Li li li li li li li li li li
Li li li li li li li li li li
Where the distant oceans sing, and rise to the plain
In this dry and troubled country your beauty remains
Down from the mountain roads where the highway rolls to dark
''Neath Allah''s blessed rain, we remain worlds apart
Li li li li li li li li li li
Li li li li li li li li li li
Sometimes the truth just ain''t enough
Or it''s too much in times like this
Let''s throw the truth away, we''ll find it in this kiss
In your skin upon my skin, in the beating of our hearts
May the living let us in, before the dead tear us apart
Li li li li li li li li li li
Li li li li li li li li li li
We''ll let blood build a bridge, over mountains draped in stars
I''ll meet you on the ridge, between these worlds apart
We''ve got this moment now to live, then it''s all just dust and dark
Let love give what it gives
Let''s let love give what it gives
Let''s let love give what it gives
Li li li li li li li li li li
Let''s let love give what it gives
Li li li li li li li li li li
Let''s let love give what it gives
Li li li li li li li li li li
Let''s let love give what it gives
Li li li li li li li li li li
Let''s let love give what it gives
Li li li li li li li li li li
Li li li li li li li li li li
Li li li li li li li li li li

LET''S BE FRIENDS (SKIN TO SKIN)
I been watchin'' you a long time
Trying to figure out where and when
We been moving down that same line
The time is now maybe we could get skin to skin
Don''t know when this chance might come again
Good times got a way of comin'' to an end
Don''t know when this chance might come again
Good times got a way of slippin'' away
Baby let''s be friends, come on let''s be friends
I know we''re different you and me
Get a diffent way of walkin''
The time has come to let the past be history
Yeah, if we could just start talkin''
Don''t know when this chance might come again
Good things got a way of comin'' to an end
Don''t know when this chance might come again
Good things got a way of slippin'' away
Baby let''s be friends, come on let''s be friends
Do do do doo do do do doo...
Baby let''s be friends
Do do do doo do do do doo...
Come on let''s be friends
Do do do doo do do do doo...
Baby let''s be friends
There''s a lot of talk going ''round now
Let''em talk you know you''re the only one
There''s a lot of walls need tearing down
Together we could take them down one by one
Don''t know when this chance might come again
Good times got a way of comin'' to an end
Don''t know when this chance might come again
Good times got a way of slippin'' away
Baby let''s be friends, come on let''s be friends
Baby let''s be friends, come on let''s be friends
Do do do doo do do do doo...
Baby let''s be friends
Do do do doo do do do doo...
Come on let''s be friends
Do do do doo do do do doo...

FURTHER ON (UP THE ROAD)
Where the road is dark
And the seed is sewn
Where the gun is cocked
And the bullet''s cold
Where the miles are marked in blood and gold
I''ll meet you further on up the road
Got on my dead man''s suit
And my smilin'' skull ring
My lucky graveyard boots
And a song to sing
I got a song to sing, keep me out of the cold
And I''ll meet you further on up the road
Further on up the road
Further on up the road
Where the way is dark
And the night is cold
But one sunny morning we''ll rise, I know
And I''ll meet you further on up the road
Well I been out in the desert
Was doin'' my time
Searching through the dust
Looking for a sign
If there''s a light up ahead
Well, buddy, I don''t know
But I got this fever
Burning in my soul
So let''s take the good times as they come
And I''ll meet you further on up the road
Further on up the road
Further on up the road
Where the way is dark
And the night is cold
One sunny morning we''ll rise, I know
And I''ll meet you further on up the road
One sunny morning we''ll rise, I know
And I''ll meet you further on up the road
Yeah, I''ll meet you further on up the road
Well, I''ll meet you further on up the road

THE FUSE
Down at the court house they''re bringin'' the flag down
Long black line of cars snakin'' slow through town
Red sheets snappin'' on the line
With this ring will you be mine?
The fuse is burning
Shut out the lights
The fuse is burning
Come on let me do you right
Trees on fire with the first fall''s frost
Long black line in front of Holy Cross
Blood moon risin'' in a sky of black dust
Tell me baby, who do you trust?
The fuse is burning
Shut out the lights
The fuse is burning
Come on let me do you right
Tires on the highway hissin'' somethings coming
You can feel the wires in the treetops hummin''
Devil''s on the horizon line
Your kiss and I''m alive
A quiet afternoon, an empty house
On the edge of the bed you slip off your blouse
The room is burning with the noon sun
Your bittersweet taste on my tongue
The fuse is burning
Shut out the lights
The fuse is burning
Come on let me do you right
The fuse is burning
Shut out the lights
The fuse is burning
Come on let me do you right
The fuse is burning
The fuse is burning
The fuse is burning
The fuse is burning
The fuse is burning
The fuse is burning

Mary''s Place
I got seven pictures of Buddha
The prophet''s on my tongue
Eleven angels of mercy
Sighin'' over that black hole in the sun
My heart''s dark but it''s risin''
I''m pullin'' all the faith I can see
From that black hole on the horizon
I hear your voice calling me
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
Meet me at Mary''s place, we''re gonna have a party
Meet me at Mary''s place, we''re gonna have a party
Tell me how do we get this thing started
Meet me at Ma
The Rising
Can''t see nothin'' in front of me
Can''t see nothin'' coming up behind
I make my way through this darkness
I can''t feel nothing but this chain that binds me
Lost track of how far I''ve gone
How far I''ve gone, how high I''ve climbed
On my back''s a sixty pound stone
On my shoulder a half mile line
Come on up for the rising
Com on up, lay your hands in mine
Come on up for the rising
Come on up for the rising tonight
Left the house this morning
Bells ringing filled the air
Wearin'' the cross of my calling
On wheels of fire I come rollin'' down here
Come on up for the rising
Come on up, lay your hands in mine
Come on up for the rising
Come on up for the rising tonight
Li,li, li,li,li,li, li,li,li
Spirits above and behind me
Faces gone, black eyes burnin'' bright
May their precious blood forever bind me
Lord as I stand before your fiery light
Li,li, li,li,li,li, li,li,li
I see you Mary in the garden
In the garden of a thousand sighs
There''s holy pictures of our children
Dancin'' in a sky filled with light
May I feel your arms around me
May I feel your blood mix with mine
A dream of life comes to me
Like a catfish dancin'' on the end of the line
Sky of blackness and sorrow ( a dream of life)
Sky of love, sky of tears (a dream of life)
Sky of glory and sadness ( a dream of life)
Sky of mercy, sky of fear ( a dream of life)
Sky of memory and shadow ( a dream of life)
Your burnin'' wind fills my arms tonight
Sky of longing and emptiness (a dream of life)
Sky of fullness, sky of blessed life ( a dream of life)
Come on up for the rising
Come on up, lay your hands in mine
Come on up for the rising
Come on up for the rising tonight
Li,li, li,li,li,li, li,li,li
Paradise
Where the river runs to black
I take the schoolbooks from your pack
Plastics, wire and your kiss
The breath of eternity on your lips
In the crowded marketplace
I drift from face to face
I hold my breath and close my eyes
I hold my breath and close my eyes
And I wait for paradise
And I wait for paradise
The Virginia hills have gone to brown
Another day, another sun goin'' down
I visit you in another dream
I visit you in another dream
I reach and feel your hair
Your smell lingers in the air
I brush your cheek with my fingertips
I taste the void upon your lips
And I wait for paradise
And I wait for paradise
I search for you on the other side
Where the river runs clean and wide
Up to my heart the waters rise
Up to my heart the waters rise
I sink ''neath the river cool and clear
Drifting down I disappear
I see you on the other side
I search for the peace in your eyes
But they''re as empty as paradise
They''re as empty as paradise
I break above the waves
I feel the sun upon my face
My City of Ruins
There is a blood red circle
On the cold dark ground
And the rain is falling down
The church door''s thrown open
I can hear the organ''s song
But the congregation''s gone
My city of ruins
My city of ruins
Now the sweet bells of mercy
Drift through the evening trees
Young men on the corner
Like scattered leaves,
The boarded up windows,
The empty streets
While my brother''s down on his knees
My city of ruins
My city of ruins
Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up!
Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up!
Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up!
Now''s there''s tears on the pillow
Darlin'' where we slept
And you took my heart when you left
Without your sweet kiss
My soul is lost, my friend
Tell me how do I begin again?
My city''s in ruins
My city''s in ruins
Now with these hands,
With these hands,
With these hands,
I pray Lord
With these hands,
With these hands,
I pray for the strength, Lord
With these hands,
With these hands,
I pray for the faith, Lord
We pray for your love, Lord
We pray for the lost, Lord
We pray for this world, Lord
We pray for the strength, Lord
We pray for the strength, Lord
Come on
Come on
Come on, rise up
Come on, rise up
Come on, rise up
Come on, rise up
Come on, rise up
Come on, rise up
Come on, rise up
Come on, rise up
Come on, rise up
