I don’t want to take and baby I don’t want to break and baby
I don’t want to try and make you anyway
I just want to lie down 
Tell these tired brains to lie down
And then fall away

I won’t be alone I won’t be waiting by the phone 
I won’t be dreaming of you dreaming of me anyway
Tell me where you’ve been 
And I will tell you where I’ve been
It will be all ok

I don’t have a home it’s not a chain it’s not a throne
It’s just a picture of a picture tossed and torn away
Of that anger on your face
Still not as strange and not as brave
As when you turned away

I won’t be the one when all is said and all is done
I won’t be breathing like you breathe into the light of day
No I’ll be in the yard
Still taking pictures in the dark
Of all our torn up praise

Leave me not alone I won’t be chased I won’t be thrown
I won’t be bleeding for you bleeding for me everyday
You can tell me where you’ve been 
And I will tell you where I’ve been
It will be all ok

There’s dogs calling awfully out here
There’s cows with their mouths filled with tears
And there’s black water curling all around where we layed
Yes and I have been sad now for too many days
And she would harness my heart if it harnessed that way
So babe, I am going, I’m going away

The women are all gorgeous down here
They’re long and brown and bashful like deer
And she is always arriving in her dark river skirt
Winding holes through the valleys, bending bones into dirt
Hiding poems I had tossed under blankets of sand
And babe, I am sorry, I’m sorry, I am

It never gets cold way down here
And I can live off of watermelons and beer
And I will never go hungry and I will never go home
And never call to my lover, ‘Lover, leave me alone’
And never harden my heart like some fruit in the snow
But I will walk, babe (I know this) unnoticed, unknown

(Willie Nelson Cover)

It’s not supposed to be that way
You’re supposed to know that I love you
But it don’t matter anyway
If I can’t be there to control you

Like the other little children
You’re gonna dream a dream or two
But be careful what you’re dreamin’
Or soon your dreams’ll be dreamin’ you

It’s not supposed to be that way
You’re supposed to know that I love you
But it don’t matter anyway
If I can’t be there to console you

When you go out to play this evenin’
Play with fireflies ’till they’re gone
Then you rush to meet your lover
And play with real fire ’till the dawn

But it’s not supposed to be that way
You’re supposed to know that I love you
But it don’t matter anyway
If I can’t be there to console you

When you go out to play this evenin’
Play with fireflies ’till they’re gone
And then you rush to meet your lover
And play with real fire ’till the dawn

But it’s not supposed to be that way
You’re supposed to know that I love you
But it don’t matter anyway
If I can’t be there to console you

Tell me baby have you had enough
I know sometimes I play too rough
I know sometimes it can be too much
But tell me baby have you had enough

And tell me honey have I gone too far
I know I spend most of my life in these bars
Just bangin around on this old guitar
But tell me honey have I gone too far

And tell me baby did I go too far
I know I’ve spent most of my life in these bars
And I know honey it can be so hard
But tell me baby did I go too far

And tell me baby have you had enough
I know that sometimes I can play too rough
And I know that sometimes I can be too much
But tell me baby have you had enough

Tell me baby have you had enough
Tell me baby have you had enough
Tell me baby have you had enough

(Leonard Cohen Cover)

I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm
Your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm
Yes, many loved before us, I know that we are not new
In city and in forest they smiled like me and you
But now it’s come to distances and both of us must try
Your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that’s no way to say goodbye

I’m not looking for another as I wander in my time
Walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme
You know my love goes with you as your love stays with me
It’s just the way it changes, like the shoreline and the sea
But let’s not talk of love or chains and things we can’t untie
Your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that’s no way to say goodbye

I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm
Your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm
Yes, many loved before us, I know that we are not new
In city and in forest they smiled like me and you
But let’s not talk of love or chains and things we can’t untie
Your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that’s no way to say goodbye

O I wish I was in heaven, sittin down
I wish the road we were taking
Wasn’t made for breaking down
I wish those nights of pleasure 
And those days of pain
Weren’t so tightly bound
And I wish I was in heaven, sittin down

They done kept me out here on this road so long
My babe back home she finally said, “So long”
I try to call her on some foreign telephone
But she is not around
And I wish I was in heaven, sittin down

O I wish I was in heaven, sittin down
I wish the road we were taking
Wasn’t made for breaking down
I wish those nights of pleasure 
And those days of pain
Weren’t so tightly bound
And I wish I was in heaven, sittin down

I been out here so long baby my back and my shoulders are tired
And my mind, though sound, has found itself so wired
But the wheels on this old thing
They keep turning around and around
And I wish I was in heaven, sittin down

O I wish I was in heaven, sittin down
I wish the road we were taking
Wasn’t made for breaking down
I wish these nights of pleasure 
And those days of pain
Weren’t so tightly bound
And I wish I was in heaven, sittin down
O I wish I was in heaven, sittin down
