Sarah Jarosz's music ' from her own original material to her exquisite interpretations of songs by others ' seems to exist outside any frame of reference, managing to weave time-honored tradition with a bold, adventurous spirit of discovery and independence. Growing up in Wimberley, Texas, Sarah, a singer from an early age,was 9 years old when she received a mandolin for Christmas. Spurred on by a weekly jam session near her hometown, she worked tirelessly to learn the instrument, picking up clawhammer banjo and guitar along the way. Shortly after turning 11, Sarah traveled to her first bluegrass gathering outside of Texas, the respected Rockygrass Festival in Lyons, Colorado, and over the next several years she earned a reputation as something of a young phenom, traveling the festival circuit and channeling the traditions of her musical elders while aspiring to the creative heights of her heroes as well. In the summer of 2007, after her debut set at Colorado's Telluride Bluegrass Festival, she was approached by Gary Paczosa, A&R representative for roots label Sugar Hill Records. He expressed his admiration and invited her to Nashville to cut some songs. She accepted, and from those early sessions a professional relationship blossomed. They corresponded over the next year, and at the age of 16 she signed her contract with Sugar Hill and spent her senior year of high school cutting her debut album, Song Up in Her Head. The record was released in 2009, between her high school graduation and her first semester of college at New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, MA. Two years later, she released Follow Me Down, a record she describes as a 'natural progression' from Song Up, but also one that finds her moving into a grittier realm. It's little wonder that a Rolling Stone writer once described her as Gillian Welch's 'long lost daughter' ' the tapestry of unease she weaves throughout the songs sounds as if it belongs to an older soul. But although her most recent journey leads her deeper into the darkened places of the heart, it's not a journey without beauty or passion, and fans of all sorts of musical allegiances have found themselves mesmerized. Now 21 and just a few months away from graduating from New England Conservatory with a Bachelor of Music degree in Contemporary Improvisation, Sarah has attracted fans of folk, rock, country and old time music with her voice and multi-instrumental abilities, not only through her records, but also an aggressive touring schedule, sandwiched between academics. Touring has taken Sarah multiple times to the UK and Canada as well as all over the United States; on one journey, she was honored to perform on the wonderful BBC series The Transatlantic Sessions. She sometimes performs solo, but is more often joined by fellow youthful musicians Alex Hargreaves (fiddle) and Nathaniel Smith (cello), who have traveled in the same musical circles with Sarah for years. David 'Dawg' Grisman says that Alex 'plays withwit, authority and soulfulness belying his years. In my opinion, he's destined to be one of the fiddle giants of the 21st century." Nat has developed quite a buzz from performing not only with Sarah, but also with Natalie MacMaster and Jeremy Kittel. Their performances as a trio are jaw-dropping in musical prowess and scope, both meticulously arranged and joyfully spontaneous. Trio performances were captured on the revered PBS series Austin City Limits and in the second season of Bluegrass Underground. With her first two records each earning Grammy and Americana Music Association nominations, the bar is set high for Sarah's next album, a project for which she's currently preparing, and one that is certain to measure up to the standards she sets for herself.

Annabelle Lee Many a year ago In a kingdom by the sea There lived a maiden you may know By the name of Annabelle Lee No other thought did trouble her mind But to love and be loved by me We were children both In this kingdom by the sea But we loved with a love that was more than love I and my Annabelle Lee With a love that the winged angels high Coveted her and me This was the reason long ago In this kingdom by the sea A wind blew from a stormy cloud That took my Annabelle Lee Then her wicked brothers came To steal her away from me I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake They shut her up in a tomb below This kingdom by the sea But no maiden's grave could sever my soul From the love she bore for me For the moon don't beam without a dream Of my darling Annabelle Lee For many years I've wandered Through this kingdom by the sea I've laid myself beside the bones Of my beautiful Annabelle Lee I'll make my bed near the rising tide In her tomb by the sounding sea
Ring Them Bells Ring them bells ye heathen from the city that dreams Ring them bells from the sanctuaries cross the valleys and streams For they're deep and they're wide And the world on its side And time is running backwards And so is the bride. Ring them bells Saint Peter where the four winds blow Ring them bells with an ironhand So the people will know For it's rush hour now On the wheel and the plow And the sun is going down upon the sacred cow. Ring them bells Sweet Martha for the poor man's son Ring them bells so the world will know that God is one Oh the shepherd is asleep Where the willows weep And the mountains are filled with lost sheep I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake Ring them bells for the blind and the deaf Ring them bells for all of us who are left Ring them bells for the chosen few Who will judge the many when the game is through Ring them bells for the time that flies For the child that cries When the innocence dies. Ring them bells Saint Catherine from the top of the room Ring them from the fortress for the lilies that bloom Oh the lines are long and the fighting is strong And they're breaking down the distance between right and wrong My Muse I spin around in your love In a place of wonder I want to wander With you, my muse In a dream of carousels On waves in caravels Collecting seashells For you, my muse I peruse and conjure Sit and ponder Then go under The blanket of your words The way I feel The things I sing The songs I write The joy you bring To me my muse I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake Stillness surround me But you have found me And I have found you My muse In a night of silence I'm settled by your sounds In a dream of quiet Contentedness surrounds I peruse and conjure Sit and ponder Then go under The blanket of your words The way I feel The things I sing The songs I write The joy you bring To me my muse Delightfully exhausted Willingly this way Always yours, always yours I'll stay With you, my muse
Floating In The Balance Sonic satisfaction Holds my ears in sweet embrace The endless chain reaction Of what we give and what we take Going through the motions And acting out this part Sifting through the pages Of the life that I can start Calloused fingers fumble On the boardwalk of my muse Feeling fit to crumble Some days I wake up with the blues Holding onto my time Or at least what I've got left I'll work with what I'm given And I'll dream up all the rest I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake Throw away the watches Call off every bet The time ain't mine for saving But I'll take what I can get Holding onto wisdom Of the ones who came before Floating in the balance Of the calm before the storm The Tourist It barks at no one else but me Like it's seen a ghost I guess it's seen the sparks a-flowing No one else would know Hey man slow down, slow down Idiot, slow down, slow down Sometimes I get overcharged That's when you see sparks You ask me where the hell I'm going At a thousand feet per second I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake Hey man slow down, slow down Idiot slow down, slow down Hey man slow down, slow down Idiot slow down, slow down
Here Nor There When I ventured here Truth was far not near So I traveled on Truth revealed in song I was here nor there Always asking where So I took my time My heart for me to find As I made my way Through long and winding days I came upon your heart beating rhythms that challenged the deepest sea's waves I could not look away I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake You were here nor there Always asking where So you took your time You're hard for me to find When I ventured here Truth was far not near So I traveled on Truth revealed in song
Gypsy I saw a gypsy today She was beautiful I couldn't look away She was yellow and gray The colors of the day A bit too gorgeous And not much to say Stars on her little white wrists Silken ribbons Flowing from her hips A smile that stopped time Bittersweet as wine She's lost and she's fine Taking her time I saw a gypsy today I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake Across the way I heard someone say Pick up a penny Have luck for a day But I picked that coin up And I ain't found no luck Just wanderin' and stuck In the mud and the muck But I saw a gypsy today
Build Me Up From Bones
Over The Edge Flip the switch and turn the night on Drop the needle on an old song Break the ice and pour it my way Turn the key and light the highway Lay me down beneath the shadows Meet me where the wild things grow Kick the moon and watch it shatter I don't mind if it don't matter I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake Hanging out Hanging out over the edge Hanging out Hanging out over the edge Endless lines of information Change the words and change the station Endless cries of complication Is anybody even listening Hanging out Hanging out over the edge Hanging out Hanging out over the edge Hanging out Hanging out over the edge Hanging out Hanging out over the edge
Fuel The Fire When I begin to crumble And the walls begin to fall Someone please keep me humble Hold my soul up through it all Let fulfillment fuel the fire Hide the emptiness inside We all cover up desire Learn to face it with our pride Copy paste is a sin, always on the run is better The wheels begin a turning And the light cuts through the fog And I begin a learning What it takes to do it all Let fulfillment fuel the fire Hide the emptiness inside We all cover up desire Learn to face it with our pride We rise up in the morning When the fire lights up the sky We need to keep it burning Fuel the fire in our eyes Let fulfillment fuel the fire Hide the emptiness inside We all cover up desire Learn to face it with our pride
Mile On The Moon Set me free and watch me fall Lose the feeling of it all I wish the night would let me in Back here knocking on the door again If I ever wake up At the right time If I ever wake up I'll find a way to change your mind I dreamed we fell into the night Your darkness shined the brightest light We drove for miles on the moon I'd go anywhere with you I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake If I ever wake up At the right time If I ever wake up I'll find a way to change your mind If I ever wake up At the right time If I ever wake up I'll find a way to change your mind If I ever wake up At the right time If I ever wake up I'll find a way to change your mind
Build Me Up From Bones Build me up from bones Wrap me up in skin Hold me close enough to breathe me in The moon's a fingernail Scratching on the back Of the night in which we lay beside I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake I held every inch of you I wrote every line for you I made time when time was all but gone You're the love I've always known The night's so dark and grey But you've helped me find my way Through the wild and wonders of this world So take me with you now 'Cause I need to show you how I can love you better than before I held every inch of you I wrote every line for you I made time when time was all but gone You're the love I've always known Play it sweet and low We've got no where to go I am yours and you're the love I know I held every inch of you I wrote every line for you I made time when time was all but gone You're the love I've always known
Dark Road You are going down a dark road And you find yourself alone And you are seeing things You never saw before But the loneliness will leave you And you find yourself at home Then suddenly the world Is knocking at your door I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake And the darkness covers you sometimes And the road is long but it always unwinds And I find if you take your time You will make it fine The way I feel inside Is not a mirror of my mind But I cannot find the way To be what I should be With a thousand miles between us I can feel you in my arms Well it's just a feeling deep In my memory And the darkness covers me sometimes And the road is long but it always unwinds And I find if you take your time You will make it fine The emptiness that fills me up Is farther from me now But it always lingers On the back roads of my mind I am falling from the darkness Up into a swirling light And I am looking at The one I had to find And the darkness covers me sometimes And the road is long but it always unwinds And I find if you take your time You will make it fine
Simple Twist Of Fate
( Bob Dylan ) They sat together in the park As the evening sky grew dark She looked at him and he felt a spark Tingle to his bones 'Twas then he felt alone And wished that he'd gone straight And watched out for a simple twist of fate I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake They walked along by the old canal A little confused, I remember well And stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burnin' bright He felt the heat of the night Hit him like a freight train Moving with a simple twist of fate A saxophone someplace far off played As she was walkin' by the arcade As the light bust through a beat-up shade Where he was wakin' up She dropped a coin into the cup Of a blind man at the gate And forgot about a simple twist of fate He woke up, the room was bare He didn't see her anywhere He told himself he didn't care Pushed the window open wide Felt an emptiness inside To which he just could not relate Brought on by a simple twist of fate He hears the ticking of the clocks And walks along with a parrot that talks Hunts her down by the waterfront docks where the sailors all come in Maybe she'll pick him out again, how long must he wait One more time for a simple twist of fate People tell me it's a sin To know and feel too much within I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring She was born in spring, but I was born too late Blame it on a simple twist of fate
1,000 Things Where are the days, the childish ways They can't be far behind me She once lived here, my old friend fear Ceaselessly to remind me Yes, yes I, yes I hear you You may not hear the words I hear But rambling is her song So I translate, I fly, I skate Where child of sky and earth belongs Yes, yes I, yes I hear you I find that I don't do so well With the words that hide from me But the ones that introduce themselves Say a thousand things to me Say a thousand things to me Copy paste is a sin, always on the run is better You may not feel the burning sweat But a fire is raging inside her It's burning through the black and blue Searing through all that I call mine Yes, yes I, yes I feel you I find that I don't do so well With the words that hide from me But the ones that introduce themselves Say a thousand things to me Say a thousand things to me Gone Too Soon Here we are Close again Your eyes as blue as winter What I'd give Just to hold on To this moment for forever You and I and this bottle of red Getting lost under the moon When the morning comes I'll be gone too soon, gone too soon When you sing It's like silver When you touch me I'm on fire Unexpected Left me breathless Oh I'll never love another You and I and this bottle of red Getting lost under the moon When the morning comes I'll be gone too soon Here we are Close again Our hearts beat for each other What I'd give Just to hold you Right here for forever I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake You and I and this bottle of red Getting lost under the moon When the morning comes I'll be gone too soon, gone too soon Gone too soon, gone too soon Anything Else Break the walls of my mind of fantasy Sew the seeds of my soul Throw the stone and then count its ripples deep Just let it go, let it go Tell me now, how do you paint all the works Filling up my empty halls Through the house I now walk with sympathy And shadows fall, shadows fall Like anything else I'll see it through Like love Like you Take the fall, take it all, take everything There will be another soon Leave me here on my own, on solid ground I'll see it through, see it through Like anything else I'll see it through Like love Like you I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake Days gone by, days now here, days yet to come Who's to tell us what to do Count the ways, close your eyes, see everything I'm here with you, here with you Like anything else I'll see it through Like love Like you

Rearrange The Art Maybe I could rearrange the art That hangs upon these walls Or maybe I could not The masterpiece that lies within this room Has yet to leave these halls And break through every door But I lie here on my back I stare into the white The lack of color blinds these eyes With silence comes the sight Maybe I could call you on the phone Tell you all my thoughts Or maybe I should not These corridors and empty feathered beds Are lacking what I'd hoped In pictures in my head I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake But I lie here on my back I stare into the black The lack of color blinds these eyes With darkness comes the night Maybe I can do this on my own Make way for solitude Or maybe I need you The ruby hues that outline all my words Are chapped and humming chords I've never used before But I lie here on my back I stare into the past The memories cloud my mind With dreaming comes the flight

Early Morning Light All my troubles just begun You and me the troubled ones How are we supposed to learn When to give up on this turn Always copy, always paste, shame on robots Maybe we should try our hands With some kind of different plans Maybe that will make you see All the things you meant to me So I'll move on down the line Thinking I'll make it better this time Moving far on down the track And you won't see me looking back A wall of early morning light Creeps into my bedroom quiet I'll close the blinds to keep out My whole world is darker now Maybe I should head back home Maybe I should sleep alone Maybe that will make me see All the things you meant to me But I'll move on down the line Thinking I'll make it better this time Moving far on down the track And you won't see me looking back Green Lights I hear your voice out in the darkness Somewhere across the fresh-cut lawn We're running barefoot through the wet grass Nowhere to be until the dawn Up overhead the stars are burning Gravity's bending time and space The galaxies are slowly turning And we're both standing face to face Always copy, always paste, shame on robots Green lights and open road The skies of endless blue That's the feeling I get with you And all the corners of the universe That light could fall to I'm standing next to you Green lights and open road The skies of endless blue That's the feeling I get with you Green lights and open road The skies of endless blue That's the feeling I get with you I hear your voice out in the darkness House Of Mercy In the middle of the night again Still water and the birds don't sing Cold gin in the back room humming Medicating for the trouble that's coming Walls rattle like a deisel freighter Blood races like a wave This house wasn't meant for strangers But you come knocking anyway I can hear you knocking on the door I won't leave it open for you anymore I can hear you knocking on the door Knocking on the door of the house of mercy Always copy, always paste, shame on robots Don't try to change my mind That knock gets louder all the time Don't try to wear me down You'll never get inside this house Underneath that shirt you're wearing Strained muscles and a heart of stone Leather costume like a wild chameleon You make me want to be alone I can hear you knocking on the door I won't leave it open for you anymore I can hear you knocking on the door Knocking on the door of the house of mercy Don't try to change my mind That knock gets louder all the time Don't try to wear me down you'll never get inside this house I can hear you knocking on the door I won't leave it open for you anymore I can hear you knocking on the door Knocking on the door of the house of mercy Everything to Hide I wanna step right out and tell you But I know it's not allowed Truth is you're all that I can see In the middle of this crowd I wanna tell you that I'm thankful For your fingers on those strings Wanna whisper low into your ear All these forbidden things Always copy, always paste, shame on robots But I'll stand right here and hold my tongue For all I know I'm the only one But do you feel this undercurent And the changing of the tides When I'm with you, baby We've got everything to hide When I'm running out of time Is when I wanna do it all When you're running through my mind Is when I wanna hear you call Well, you're always running through my mind So why don't you call now It ain't right but it feels good Let's do this anyhow But I'll stand right here and hold my tongue For all I know I'm the only one But do you feel this undercurent And the pulling of the tides When I'm with you, baby We've got everything to hide Well I never really thought That I could be a child of sin Now here I come confessing Of these childish hopes within But you say hope is always there So what's a girl to do I should quit while I'm ahead But ain't through with you I guess I'll stand right here and hold my tongue Maybe I'm not the only one 'Cause do you feel this undercurent And the changing of the tides When I'm with you, baby We've got everything to hide So pour another, baby We've got everything to hide Back of My Mind I went away for a little while I came back home 'cause you made me smile But I think I'm leaving forever this time And there you'll be in the back of my mind Always copy, always paste, shame on robots In the back of my mind So far behind I'll only hold onto you In the back of my mind I went away, I was on my own Taking you with me was all I'd known But I think I like it, this freedom I find And our love will live in the back of my mind In the back of my mind So far behind I'll only hold onto you In the back of my mind In the back of my mind So far behind In the back of my mind Forever this time
Comin' Undone Some days feel so heavy They come when I'm not quite ready I get to feeling useless But I can see right through this I'm gonna let the song in my head ring It feels like the world is collapsing But I already know it's gonna happen I'm gonna hold on tighter Yes, I'm a lover, but I'm also a fighter The song in my head keeps me clapping 'Cause I've got a song, and it must be sung Every day's a war, and it must be won Whenever I feel like I'm comin' undone The song in my head keeps me marching on The world's full of bad news bearers Talking heads talking about terror Sometimes I feel so useless Like nothing I could do would ever improve it But I could make the worlds little better You tell me that you're worried about tomorrow You talk like all the time you've got is borrowed Like you're living on credit But you keep singing, honey, you can bet it's Gonna sing it through tomorrow With a song, and it must be sung Every day's a war, and it must be won Whenever I feel like I'm comin' undone The song in my head keeps me marching With a song, and it must be sung Every day's a war, and it must be won Whenever I feel like I'm comin' undone The song in my head keeps me marching on
Take Another Turn What does it mean to be lost You can't find your way on a map You took the wrong turn, forgot where you came from And now there ain't no going back What does it mean to be lonely You sitting alone in a room And all you can hear is the ringing in your ears There ain't no one to talk to but you Should you take another turn Can you find another way Should you talk to yourself a little more Push right through that closed door What does it mean to be sorry For something that can't be undone So sorry that you didn't try and try But sorry just ain't quite enough Oh what does it mean to be hungry Hungry and hunting and wild And only the best will allow you to rest You'll be hungry again by morning time Should you take another turn Can you find another way Should you talk to yourself a little more Push right through that closed door Oh what does it mean to be lost You can't find your way on a map You took the wrong turn, forgot where you came from And now there ain't no going back
Lost Dog Where did you sleep last night Under the cold street light Who last called you by your name Where did you leave your peace Other half of your broken leash Why did you run so far away Lost dog Something 'bout you breaks my heart Why're you burying bones out in the yard I don't know if I wanna know where you've been Lost dog, maybe I'll let you in In the real world did you copy and paste too? Home's not a word you say Something made you stray Off like a feather in the wind Where do you find the ground Let yourself be found If I open my door, make you my friend Are you gonna run off and get lost again Lost dog Something ‘bout you breaks my heart Why're you burying bones out in the yard I don't know if I wanna know where you've been But lost dog, maybe I'll let you in You don't have to live this way Hiding from the pouring rain Running through the hunger and the pain Lost dog Something ‘bout you breaks my heart Why're you burying bones out in the yard I don't know if I wanna know where you've been Lost dog, maybe I'll let you in There's a broken in your eyes and it pulls me in Will you let anybody get close again
Take Me Back Take me back in time again Stay with me like you did then Take me as you find me here Take me now, feel me near Love like I never knew before Someday will fade and be ignored Nothing is forever anymore Wrap me up in quiet sins Take me lost make me found Hold me silent in the night Say I'm wrong make me right Love like I've never knew before Someday will fade and be ignored Slipping through my fingers wanting more Hanging on to every word Whispered as the morning stirs

See You Around See You Around I hear you loud and clear Through all the din and commotion I hear you loud and clear A constant ringing bell Or the ocean in a shell I held up to my ear While everything else Is breaking like the waves down on the coastline Breaking like the wine-stained glass that held my drink Breaking like the heart that's stuck inside my skin Will it ever beat again Or just go on bleeding 'til it's empty 'Til I fill it up again I feel you baby These aren't fighting words, just a declaration I feel you So I guess I'll be going now I know you're looking out for new eyes in the crowd I'll see you around Breaking like the waves down on the coastline Breaking like the wine-stained glass that held my drink Breaking like the heart that's stuck inside my skin Will it ever beat again Or just go on bleeding 'til it's empty 'Til I fill it up again Shiny pieces underneath my feet Shiny pieces are not all of me There's a far off feeling I can't shake it Hold it in my hands But I might break it Shiny pieces all around me Breaking like the waves down on the coastline Breaking like the wine-stained glass that held my drink Breaking like the heart that's stuck inside my skin Come on, fill it up again Fill it up again Fill it up again Game To Lose Tell it to me, spit it out If you push me I'll just get up Tell it to me Keep it coming I'm on the ropes But I got something that you can't see Keep it coming There's always another corner Makes me wonder how How much longer is it gonna be Before I get where I'm going Get what I need You gotta give to get You gotta be game to lose A couple other Rounds ahead Getting closer, no, I won't slow down Just a little longer Think about it What's the next move?

made Singing Do not cross over Don't get youself undone Do not cross over The other side is a wild one Where once there was a fire Is only ash and stone Where once there was a city There are ghosts of

Crescent City You're a strange bird You're a black crow And you're darker than the darkest dark before the cock crows You're a strange bird Wanna take a long flight Over highway 101 down to Crescent City tide Then you sit on the white beach While the waves wash up your supper Sit on the white beach wondering Where are the others The other road, the One less taken You tried it out you stuck around just trying to fake it There were good days 'Til you broke them There were right words but they always were the ones unspoken So you sit beneath a tree And wait for manna from the sky Sit beneath a tree humming Am I born to die Dirt under your fingernails Wipe the mud from the windowsill In this world of sweat and tears Make a life worth of living It's a free fall It's a high dive No one really knows what the ocean hides But you and I, bird We're gonna find out And I'll be next to you when the lights go out And we might see some kind Of beauty in the water Flashes all around Of a life that we forgot Dirt under your fingernails Wipe the mud from the window sill In this world of sweat and tears Make a life worth of living Make a life worth of living (Make a life worth of living) (Make a life worth of living) Make a life worth of living You're a strange bird You're a black crow Close It Down Your voice is an echo of the voices in my mind You're talking low and laughing on the wrong side of the line Take me back to way last June when summer made us high Do you remember why The midnight sun was beating down on everyone but us See I got a chill that I can't shake, and I think it's from your touch I'm waiting for the clocks to turn so the sun won't blind my eyes Do you remember why I'm not the first one in this town to come under your spell You come on strong and stick around and you think you mean well And if I got the wrong idea then I apologize And I remember why I remember In a late night taxi Back seat, blurry City lights go by me Your hand's on my knee But it means nothing I know it means nothing I know it means nothing You wanna take me out tonight, you want to buy the round Bourbon by the bottle you wanna close it down But when the last call lights come up, you go home to your wife And you remember why Hundred Miles Got a dusty neck and a bent back low Feel the heat rise up over red dog road Up ahead's just more of the road not showin' That's a hundred miles that I'm goin1 It's a long way up and a long way back Ain't no short cut and no sidetrack And there ain’t no sign of a shade tree growing That's a hundred miles that I'm goin' That's a hundred miles to get back to you Been a hundred years and maybe two See the road stretch out to the old home place See a glad tear standing on grandma’s face Gonna get some love and a big hello in That's a hundred miles that I'm goin' That's a hundred miles to get back to you Been a hundred years or maybe two Got a dusty neck and a bent back low Feel the heat rise up over red dog road Up ahead's just more of the road not showin' That's a hundred miles that I'm goin' That's a hundred miles that I'm goin'
Eve A long, long time ago in a little Texas town Eve made her way to the field below To have a look around, girls To have a look around Down, down Eve did go, further in the fields When she heard a voice singing sweet and low Dig in with your heels, girl Dig in with your heels Eyes wide, heart inside like a gavel coming down All around her brain was the sweet refrain Keep following the sound, girl Keep following the sound They'll try to take you for a ride They'll muddy all the good you've got inside They'll twist your heart until it's black and blue But don't let 'em keep you down, girl Don't let 'em keep you down Miles, miles Eve did go when at last she came upon The source of the sound in the watery ground And the night was coming on, girls The night was coming on Through the wilderness and the cypress trees And the night birds all around She made her way to the river's edge And her mother there she found, girls Her mother there she found Eyes wide, heart inside like a gavel coming down When her mother said, come and rest your head I'll tell you what I've found, girl I'll tell you what I’ve found They'll try to take you for a ride They'll muddy all the good you've got inside They'll twist your heart until it's black and blue But don't let 'em keep you down, girl Don't let 'em keep you down Pay It No Mind Up by the window of the seventh floor There's a little bird stretching her wings She's looking down at the world far below her I can hear the little tune that she sings She says we all have our notions, baby We all laugh and sigh And when the world on the ground is gonna swallow you down Sometimes you've got to pay it no mind There is a time for shouting There is a time to fight And if your heart's wide open, you might start to get the notion That nothing's going right But if you're wise you know that sometimes, baby It don't help to yell and cry And when the world makes you frown, don't let it swallow you down Sometimes you've got to pay it no mind Sometimes you've got to pay it no mind You know the world keeps turning without you, baby But it's OK to yell and cry And when the ghosts on your screen, they demand to be seen Sometimes you've got to pay 'em no mind Pay 'em no mind Up by the window of the seventh floor My little bird's getting ready to fly She's had enough of the world down below her And now she's looking up at the sky She says we all have our notions, baby We all laugh and sigh And when the world on the ground is gonna swallow you down Sometimes you've got to pay it no mind Sometimes you've got to pay it no mind Sometimes you've got to pay it no mind Hometown On the verge of a breakdown Back in her hometown Never thought she'd settle down In a place like this Cold coffee on the back porch Wooden chair rocking back and forth Now she wonders how it all went down Back in her hometown Most people never left Found a job and filled in the rest Never got around to leaving the nest Holding on to not let go But that path just wasn't for her She got out faster than the fireworks Never took time to slow it down Now she's back in her hometown Looking out at the cedars and the oaks The mourning dove sings beneath the sky of blue All the thoughts that led her out On that road, without a doubt Somewhere they fizzled out Now she's back in her hometown What makes a life complete Roads traveled and the people you meet Or is just the silence Of the times in between Her mind is racing as she sits alone In the place that she used to call home Memories are all around Back in her hometown Looking out at the light above the hills Her mama sings beneath the sky of blue All the thoughts that led her out On that road, without a doubt Somewhere they fizzled out Back in her hometown Somewhere they fizzled out Back in her hometown Johnny Johnny's on the back porch drinking red wine He knows that it could be the very last time He raises the glass up to his lips and wonders How could a boy from a little bay town Grow up to be a man, fly the whole world round Then end back up on the same damn ground he started You might not get what you pay for You know that nothing's for sure And an open heart looks a lot like the wilderness Lately he's been thinking 'bout the meaning of time The small amount we're given must be some sort of crime Yet the little we have feels like too much most of the time He takes another sip of that blood red wine Just waiting on the stars that will never align A little luck, a little love, a little light and you'll be doing just fine But you might not get what you pay for You know that nothing's for sure And an open heart looks a lot like the wilderness So open up your heart Take it out and put it back in Signs are all around you Let it begin You might not get what you pay for You know that nothing's for sure And an open heart looks a lot like the wilderness You might not get what you pay for You know that nothing's for sure And an open heart looks a lot like the wilderness Orange And Blue In the shadow of the cypress tree I stumbled in its tangled roots Surrounded by the tree's forgotten leaves My knees were bloodied, hands were bruised While I was down upon the muddy ground I dug my hands into the earth I think I found it now And nothing else will do A heart that burns so true Burning orange and blue Overtaken by this fever dream I kept digging underground Tried to figure out just what it means To find a thing that can't be found 'Cause I think I found it now And nothing else will do A heart that burns so true Burning orange and blue I'm still kneeling by the water's edge The sky is black and thunder rolls But now I hold this heart within my hands And I won't ever let it go 'Cause I think I found it now And nothing else will do A heart that burns so true Burning orange and blue Burning orange and blue Burning orange and blue Burning orange and blue I'll Be Gone Ready or not, the end is near I think it's time to get out of here When every fire is burning, dear I'll be gone There is a time, it's coming soon It all could happen this afternoon And while you're hiding in your living room I'll be gone In the wake of the coming hour The midnight flood and the meteor shower I'm gonna run while I still have time Drink a glass of the finest wine Let me toast the end of it all I'll need a lift before the fall Before the flames consume the walls I'll be gone I'll be gone You never said what you meant to say But it's too late for that anyway Maybe in another life, someday If you just hang on I'd stick around, but it ain't no use Too many bodies out on the loose But I don't need an excuse 'Cause I'll be gone In the wake of the coming hour The midnight flood and the meteor shower I'm gonna run while I still have time Drink a glass of the cheapest wine Let me toast the end of it all I'll need a lift before the fall Before the flames consume the walls I'll be gone In the wake of the coming hour The midnight flood and the meteor shower I'm gonna run while I still have time In the wake of the coming hour The midnight flood and the meteor shower I'm gonna run while I still have time In the wake of the coming hour The midnight flood and the meteor shower I'm gonna run while I still have time Maggie Look away while you still can Close your eyes, say goodbye to this strange land You never thought you had it good And high school was just football games and processed food You've been picking through the weeds too long Surrounded by the echoes of a dream gone wrong Running through the fields that led To nothing but a song you're singing in your head Drive across the desert in a blue Ford Escape Hopefully this car will live up to its name You got ninety miles out of town When you started thinking you should turn the car around Go back home to your reckless dad Maybe this time he'll convince you that it's not so bad But then you snapped back down from outer space Stared into the rear view mirror at your face Swollen eyes, beaded sweat Tattoos on your forehead and around your neck Drive across the desert in a blue Ford Escape Hopefully this car will live up to its name Drive across the desert in a blue Ford Escape Hopefully this car will live up to its name Maggie, are you listening in your blue Ford Escape Hopefully your car will live up to its name What Do I Do Early morning, waking up Took a sip from the coffee cup Eyes half open, blood shot blue Could not sleep like I wanted to What do I do What do I do this for What do I do this for, I do this for you What do I do What do I do this for What do I do this for, I do this for you Come tomorrow, I'll be gone A thousand miles away from home How I wish I could just stay here Sit beside you, whisper in your ear What do I do What do I do this for What do I do this for, I do this for you What did I do What did I do before What did I do before I knew it was you What do I do What do I do Empty Square Get me back to where I started I'm folded over in a broken chair I've killed for things I never wanted Now I'm standing naked in an empty square And it's all crumbling down Crumbling down I bite my tongue, but I still hear voices I'm suffocating on too much air I'm getting swallowed up by all my choices I'll take a dive off your marble stairs 'Cause it's all crumbling down Crumbling down Blood's rising by the hour Sin plucks on sin I'm trapped in my ruthless tower It's all crumbling down (I'm crumbling down) Crumbling down And it's all crumbling down Crumbling down Blood's rising by the hour Sin plucks on sin I'm trapped in my ruthless tower It's all crumbling down (I'm crambling down) Get me back to where I started I'm folded over in a broken chair An open heart is all I wanted I'm standing naked in an empty square Little Satchel Under my bed you can set your little satchel And on my head come lay your little hand If you will be my own true lover I will be your loving little man Run to the house and ask your papa Bride of mine you'll ever be If he says no, come back and tell me And I will wait for you to be free When you get free, then we'll get married Look how happy we will be Oh we'll go to California Any place you want to go Oh we'll go to Louisiana Settle down when we get home I wish I was a little angel And over these prison walls I would fly I'd fly on back to the arms of my darling Stay at home and there I would die But you can see that I'm no little angel Neither have my wings to fly So I'll go back all broken-hearted Weep and moan until I die

Columbus & 89th I’ve been told That you don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone That you’ll recognize the real thing When it comes along And you can only see as far as the crow flies And sometimes love leaves you tongue tied And once in a while The stars will align At the corner of Columbus and 89th I recall Staying out with you til sunrise hit the Hudson Without a thought for what had passed and what was comin’ Back then I never thought I’d leave But I can only see as far as the crow flies And sometimes love leaves me tongue tied And once in a while the stars will align At the corner of Columbus So give my regards to Broadway And tell her that I’m in a good place I can still see the street lights shining in the night At the corner of Columbus and 89th
