Intro: B

Vs:
I look at the sky
I see an airplane as it flies
Is this the way they said Jesus came?
Gone through St Louis
Gone straightaway
And I hear the winter will cut you quick
If tears were liquor Id have drunk myself sick

Chs: B D E B (x2)

Vs:
Woman are you home
A house of cards a frame of bones
Here I am earthly bound
Said Hallelujah Im going down
And the river Jordan is deep and wide
I think I see forever across on the other side

Chs: B D E B (x2)

Vs:
I look at the sky
I see a nightbird as it flies
Over the old bent cherry trees
Shivering in a row
Down here the winter will cut you quick
These tears are liquor and Ive drunk myself sick

Chs: B D E B (x2)

Outro:
And the dead of winter will cut you quick
These tears are liquor and Ive drunk myself sick

I have given to you jane
A torn and tattered love
But do you hear the tolling bells
That ring down from above?
Thought I’d rule like charlemagne
But I’ve become corrupt
Now I crawl the promenade
To fill my empty cup
And you’re free
You’re free again
One more time
Now if you found a razorblade
And took it to your wrist
Then I’d be here in my electric chair
Because of this
All last night and night before
I stood on the pier and cried
But I don’t want to turn away
For fear of going blind
And you’re free
You’re free again
One more time
I have given to you Jane
A bruised and beaten love
But do you see the cold white light
That shines down from above?
Thought I’d rule like charlemagne
But I’ve become corrupt
Now I’ll crawl the promenade
To fill my empty cup
And you’re free
You’re free again
One more time

You dont love me
Whats to love anyway
You dont love me
Would love be my saving grace
You dont love me

Its delirium
Its a childlike dream then it fades away
Its illusion
Would love put me in my place
The illusion
The delirium
The delusion
I?m going nowhere Now I?m going nowere

Intro: B5

I have to watch you come back to the river
Now it’s all I can do
Will you still be convinced wild flowers?
Are waiting for you

In my mind, I’ve done good things
And never cared why
And my mind is an open door, with nothing inside

AAAAAA aa AAAAAA aa AAAAAA aa AAAAAA 1x in lower register

Looks like the hour is upon us
It’s turnin’ so cold
When everything said’s either faded out
Or written in stone

If you could find an easier road, you’d take it today
You could have taken me anywhere
You just take it away

AAAAAA aa AAAAAA aa AAAAAA aa AAAAAA 2x in higher register

I have to watch you come back to the river
If it’s all I can do
Will you still be convinced wild flowers?
Are waiting for you

Have we ever done good things
And never cared why?
’Cause my mind is an open door, with nothing inside

AAAAAA aa AAAAAA aa AAAAAA aa AAAAAA 4x in higher register

When the willow bends towards the end of day
And twilight falls again
To the funny sound that a blackbird makes
Twilight falls again
As no good reason remains, I’ll do the same
Thinking of you
One day ship comes in
One day ship comes in
But I can’t say how or when
But I know somewhere a ship comes in everyday

There is no morphine, I won’t be sleeping
There is no crime to dreams like this
And if you could take something with you
Then you’d be right, something good
From my fingertips the cigarette throws ashes to the ground
I’d stop and talk to the girls who work this street, but I’ve got business farther down
Like one long season of rain, I will remain thinking of you
One day ship comes in
From far away ship comes in
One hundred days you wait for it
And you know somewhere a ship comes in everyday

There is no morphine, I won’t be sleeping
There is no crime to dreams like this
And if you could take something with you
It would be bright, just like something good
One day ship comes in
One hundred days you wait for it
Something bright, something so good
One hundred days, a ship comes in everyday
You know it’s good
Know it’s good, a ship comes in everyday
One day ship comes in, It’s good, I bet it’s something good

Hope you enjoy it, feel free to make Improvements

Not feelin’ any pain but I know that it’s real
Never see the color of the day, in the darkness I kneel
Prayin’ for sleep, prayin’ that it will come easy
But there’s something else, I see it miles away

Don’t know what time of year it is, I can remember the fall
Yet all my strange and simple games, play out on top of a wall
Prayin’ for sleep, prayin’ for something so easy
If only the moon would have left me alone

After the deadlock and dazzle
As good as, or better than gold
I lay down my guns on the table
First scarlet then blue growing cold
Black light and smoke
Making a joke
In the haze of a setting sun
Leviathan waits in the water
Skeletons hide in the trees
The hours crawl by like a spider
Hangman is following me
At sorrow’s door
A century more
In the rays of a setting sun
After the deadlock and dazzle
Glitters at night like it’s gold
You lay down your heart if you’re able
First scarlet then blue growing cold
Everyday a prayer
For what I never knew
But this is one I said for you

Baby, you’re going down in the dark
Show my lonely night is falling, I don’t have very long
I think my blood might boil, then my veins might burn
And you’re gonna make it better for a little while

Baby, you’re gonna die someday
See you when you’re crawling wasted, then you’ll start to fade
That won’t be so I’m sinking faster, I wouldn’t wait so long
It won’t get any easier in the dark, oh yeah
