Down & Out

If you wake up tomorrow and you feel you’ve fallen down
You look all around you and see no one’s gonna help you out
You look in the mirror and it’s half past three
In Carolina, you would be here with me
But you’re down and out, you’re down and out
If you wake up tomorrow and you still feel free from sin
You better count all your stones cause I’m sure that you threw one of them
You won’t look in the mirror, afraid what you’ll see
In Carolina, you would not be with me
Cause you’re down and out, you’re down and out
There’s no use talking about it baby
There’s no use talking about it baby
If you wake up tomorrow and the beat won’t pull you through
If you look at your life, twenty eight, and still don’t know what to do
You can pick up your life and head for the city
In Carolina, you will never be free
Cause you’re down and out, you’re down and out
There’s no use talking about it baby
There’s no use talking about it baby

And I can’t change
And I can’t change the way that you feel
If you’ve given me all the emotion you can feel
It’s just not enough
I need so much more
Don’t take me for granted
I may walk out that door
It would be easier to find if all you left behind
Was a note or two, a card that you left for me so I could see
But it’s easier to find there’s nothing left behind
There’s nothing left for us to find
You hid it all
You’re undefined to me
If you would have given it all, then we could tell
There was always a wall, an excuse
A “wait until the time is just right”
Well, the time is tonight
When we are alone, my attention will be yours alone
It would be easier to find if all you left behind
Was a note or two, a card that you left for me so I could see
But it’s easier to find there’s nothing left behind
There’s nothing left for us to find
You hid it all
You’re undefined to me
Can’t you see that I feel alone right now
That I feel alone
It would be easier to find if all you left behind
Was a note or two, a card that you left for me so I could see
But it’s easier to find there’s nothing left behind
There’s nothing left for us to find
You hid it all
You’re undefined to me

It's All Over Now

Well, baby used to stay out all night long
She made me cry, she done me wrong
She held my nose open, that's no lie
Tables are turned and now it’s her turn to cry
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
She used to run around with every man in town
Spent all my money, trying to play those high-class games
She put me out, it was a pity how I cried
Tables have turned and now her turn to cry
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
I used to wake in the morning, get my breakfast in bed
Whenever I got worried she would rub my aching head
But now she's here and there, with every man in town
Still trying to take me for that same old clown
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now
Because I used to love her, but it's all over now

Goodbye

Everywhere we go, everybody knows
Where will we hide tomorrow?
If it’s up to me, you will not agree
We may have to part ways tomorrow
But tonight, you are still here with me
I have never wanted you so bad
While you lied to me so, oh, innocently
I took your words at face value
Now look, did I agree? I admit I wasn’t freely thinking
Of all the repercussions around you
But tonight you are still here with me
And I want you to listen to me
I have never wanted you so bad
As tonight, this is all we have
To remember or to forget
All the smells and the scents
How the lights hit my face
How I look, how you taste
How we’ll sleep together arm in arm
And sometimes wake to remember more
Of this night, for this is goodbye
But tonight, you are still here with me
I have never wanted you so bad
So just turn the other way, and I will do the same
We’ll leave what happened behind us
Now make you no mistake, it has to be this way
I could be spending a long time without you
You…
I have never wanted you so bad
As tonight, this is all we have
To remember or to forget
All the smells and the scents
How the lights hit my face
How I look, how you taste
How we’ll sleep together arm in arm
And sometimes wake to remember more
Of this night, for this is goodbye

Early Morning Snow

Like the early morning snow
I've covered my ways to go
I've left no stone unturned or dry
And in case of mistakes
In the early morning light
When the sun breaks through the night
Where we've been or gone doesn't matter now
It's been swept away
Like the early morning snow
I've covered my ways to go
I've left no stone unturned or dry
And in case of mistakes, I just think of your face
It keeps me in line
Won't you please come walk with me while there's light
The day will soon turn to night
And tonight we won't be alone
In the early morning snow
The wind cuts through wool, I'm told
It's never been this bad since long ago
But you're here with me
Have no reason to leave
And in case of mistakes
I just think of your face
It keeps me in line
Won't you please come walk with me while there's light
The day will soon turn to night
And tonight we won't be alone
