Just sweet sixteen and now you’re gone
They’ve taken you away
I’ll never kiss your lips again
They buried you today
Teen angel, can you hear me?
Teen angel, can you see me?
Are you somewhere up above
And am I still your own true love
I’m not gonna lie
I’ll not be a gentleman
Behind the boathouse
I’ll show you my dark secret
I’m not gonna lie
I want you for mine
My blushing bride
My lover, be my lover, yeah
Don’t be afraid
I didn’t mean to scare you
So help me, Jesus
She sits on the dock a fishin’ in the water uh, huh
I don’t know her name she’s the fisherman’s daughter uh, huh
Come on down to my boat baby
Come on down where we can play
Come on down to my boat baby
Come on down we’ll sail away.
I thought that they were angels
Much to my surprise
They climbed aboard our starship
We headed for the skies, singing
Come sail away
Come sail away
Come sail away
With me
Ride, captain ride upon your mystery ship
Be amazed at the friends you have here on your trip
Ride captain ride upon your mystery ship
On your way to a world that others might have missed
This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend
The end of our elaborate plans
The end of everything that stands
The end
No safety or surprise
The end
I’ll never look into your eyes again
She said we couldn’t do no wrong
No other love could be so strong
She locked up my heart in her bottom drawer
Now she took my heart, she took my keys
From in my old blue dungarees
And I’ll never go to Texas anymore
All my exes live in Texas
And Texas is the place I’d dearly love to be
But all my exes live in Texas
And that’s why I hang my hat in Tennessee
This time tomorrow
Reckon where I’ll be
Hadn’t been for Grayson
I’d-a been in Tennessee
Well now, boy
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and cry (oh, boy)
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Poor boy, you’re bound to die
Ask those trees for all their wisdom
They tell me my ears are so young (home)
Go back to from whence you came (home)
My family tree my family name (home)
For some strange reason it and to be (home)
He guided me to Tennessee (home)
I talk to the trees
But they don’t listen to me
I talk to the stars
But they never hear me
The breeze hasn’t time
To stop and hear what I say
I talk to them all in vain
[Clint Eastwood…? Huh.]
I talk to the wind
My words are all carried away
I talk to the wind
The wind does not hear
The wind cannot hear
Give to the winds thy fears,
hope and be undismayed;
God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears;
God shall lift up thy head.
I never did it, no, I won’t admit it
Why should I lie for you anymore?
You never loved me, you pushed and shoved me
I see the woman I never saw
I saw you laugh when the knife was twisted
It still hurts, but the pain has shifted
I’m lookin’ back at the time that drifted by
But I won’t cry for the wasted years
'Cause you ain’t worth the salt in my tears
Bend me, shape me
Anyway you want me
Long as you love me, it’s all right
Bend me, shape me
Anyway you want me
You’ve got the power to turn on the light
When I came apart
I wasn’t made of sand
When you fell apart
Clay crumbled in my hands
Long way a life load
Statues and haloes
He’s got you and me brother in his hands he’s got you and me sister in his hands
He’s got you and me brother in his hands he’s got the whole world in his hands
He’s got the whole world in his hands…
When I was a young boy
My mama said to me
“There’s only one girl in the world for you
And she probably lives in Tahiti”
I’d go the whole wide world
I’d go the whole wide world just to find her
The boy lies in the grass with one blade
Stuck between his teeth
A vague sensation quickens
In his young and restless heart
And a bright and nameless vision
Has him longing to depart
You move me
You move me
With your buildings and your eyes
Autumn woods and winter skies
I was once out strolling one very hot summer’s day
When I thought I’d lay myself down to rest
In a big field of tall grass
I laid there in the sun and felt it caressing my face
As I fell asleep and dreamed
I dreamed I was in a Hollywood movie
And that I was the star of the movie
This really blew my mind
The fact that me, an overfed long-haired leaping gnome
