•The Bad Sleep Well•
Give up what’s good
Give up what’s right
Give up what’s good
and Sleep through the Night
What do you love?
Dream of the ones you hurt
Dream of what you’ve done
Dream of the ones you hurt
and wake with the Sun
What do you love?
You stop trying to hide
You stop trying to lie
You stop trying to hide
What’s behind those eyes
What do you love?

•There•
When the Sun fails
and the Moon is lost
and the endless night
brings a bitter frost
I’ll be there
in spirit
I’ll be there
in your heart
Now the days are quiet
and the air is still
Commoners and Kings
lay beneath the hill
and you’ll be there
in spirit
you’ll be there
in my heart
Side by side in the soil
Rotting ‘neath the earth
Gold crowns won’t glimmer
Hidden from the stars
No divine faith
No politics nor medicine
Nothing at all
Could ever save them
and we’ll all be there
in spirit
we’ll all be there
in your heart

•Sun Song•
Rise up my darling
and let me taste true love’s heat
Just your warm gaze
makes birds sing so sweetly
and gives my heart reason to beat
The night was so cold
while you were away
Still I know
you could never stay
Here only a little while
to ever wander is your fate
While we lay and dream of your smile
and in those dreams we wait
Rise up, my darling
O sweet darling please rise up
shower me with your honey kisses
Fill me like a plentiful cup
Wrapped in blankets
I waited so long
Shivered the whole night
while you were gone
Here only a little while
to ever wander is your fate
While we lay and dream of your smile
and in those dreams we wait
Rise up my darling
and let me taste true love’s heat
Just your warm gaze
makes birds sing so sweetly
and gives my heart reason to beat
The night was so cold
while you were away
Still I know
you could never stay
Here only a little while
to ever wander is your fate
While we lay and dream of your smile
and in those dreams we wait

•Who’s Gonna Shoe Yr Pretty Little Foot?•
(traditional)
O who’s gonna shoe your pretty little foot?
O who’s gonna hold your hand?
Who’s gonna your kiss red rosy cheeks
when I’m in that far off land?
O when my eyes are smiling
then my heart is full of pain
‘cause I know when they put me
in the cold cold ground
I’ll never see you again
The pretty little birds did choose sad notes
and they sang a roundelet
They sang me a sad little goodbye song
‘cause they knew I was going away

•Ribbon Bow•
(traditional)
If I had a ribbon bow
to bind my hair
if I had a fancy sash
my own true love would find me fair
my red shoes would go dancing
wherever my fancy chose
I’d lark about on the sidewalk
and wear them foreign clothes
If I were like city girls
fair with smile
Not a man in all these parts
would know my heart
My red shoes would go dancing
wherever my fancy would
My love would wish
he had taken me while he could
If I had a ribbon bow...

•Wilt•
Lily says it hurts
whenever these feels come around
But there are things much worse
she knows
like being torn from the ground
Your day in the sun cut short
by some sentimental fool
Taken home to show off
‘til all that love starts to cool
Placed in glass,
watching the time pass
on the window sill
Gathering dust,
an object of lust
just waiting to fade...
Waiting to wilt.
Age before beauty
they say nothing good can ever last
and when you’re not watching, hun
you know those years go so fast
locked up tight while these
ungrateful shits just suck you dry
and once your petals start to wither
you’ll feel all that wasted time
Placed in glass,
watching the time pass
on the window sill
Gathering dust,
an object of lust
just waiting to fade...
Waiting to wilt.

•Nightblooming•
Nothing should come between us
Nothing should keep us apart
No secret hurt
No dark lust
Nothing but you in my heart
Things are truly what they seem
This floating world is but a dream
petals of light
radiant white
our love blooming in the night
Nothing is what awaits us
Nothing came before
Born to die,
to hold you in my eyes
and in the end, nothing more
Things are truly what they seem
This floating world is but a dream
petals so white
a flickering light
our love blooming in the night

•When I Gets Up Into Heaven•
(traditional)
When I gets up into heaven
I want you to be there too
I want you to be there too
I want you to be there too
I want to see my dear old pappy
I want see my mommy too
But heaven just wouldn’t be heaven
If I can’t be there with you
They say this place they call heaven
has a wide golden street
But if I can’t be with you in heaven
It won’t be no place for me
When I gets up into heaven
I want you to be there too
I want you to be there too
I want you to be there too
