Earth and Sky

I don’t plant crops
I don’t build fences
I don’t ride on rail roads
I don’t dig trenches
I’m just living in between
The earth and sky

I don’t go to school
I don’t go to churches
I don’t visit graveyards
I don’t know the purpose of ‘em
I’m just living in between
The earth and sky

Following phone lines
To good times and bad times
Under the star light
Under the moon shining
Down on me

I write letters
But I never send ‘em
The post script on ‘em
Is never ending
I’m living in between
The earth and sky

 

Easy to be Your Lover

Oh, how love is like your long hair
Its full of twists and tangles
And the fruit that you share
Is of a fallen angel

By day we work it all out
By night its tangles again
Is this a punishment 
Or just the way that love is

Its easy to be your lover
Its so hard being your man
But I would never let another
Be the man that you demand

There was a time I never worried
How long a love could last
How much the night would allow
How fast our days do past

But morning forces us to dress
Go out and work some kind of job
When all I want to do is rest 
In your arms

Its easy to be your lover
Its so hard being your man
I could never let another
Be the man that you demand

You said I cannot stray if I pretend to love
And that you will not stay if I break my promise
Come on, break your promise, we can let the light die
Bite into the fruit you where forbidden to try

Its easy to be your lover
Its so hard being your man
But I could never let another
Be the man you condemn. 

The Edge of the World

What can I say but that I do not love you
No, you don't shine in my mind any more
Misery may roll in like the fog
Happiness may never come at all

At the edge of the world
What did you want me to say
I've got my back to the wind
All my words are blown away

Inviting shores caressed
By the opaque water
Mysterious child of love
Is with his sea side mistress

At the edge of the world
What did you expect to find
I've got myself in a bind this time
I wouldn't mind if you helped me out

I've got to find safe passage
A harbor home where I can live
But I hear broken voices
Singing songs but the key is wrong

Would take my reaching arms
Would you pull me out by the hand
From the depths that I have swam
And put me back on the beach sand again

At the edge of the world
Could you hear my screaming voice
Can't you see that I had no choice
I'm going over ...

The edge of the world ....

Do you need a ride
Or we can walk side by side
Where’d you pitch your tent
I’ve got some wine we can get bent

Hey there watch your step
Come on do you need some help
Three days and nights I’ve spent
And still haven’t gotten it right yet

Emma Lee
What have you done to me
Emma Lee
You ain’t no beauty queen
Emma Lee
Was so pretty at the festival
But I’ve got to say good night

If you need I’ll hold you up
Just put one foot in front of the other one
Light your cigerette
Watch yourself don’t split your head

I wish I had a trunk
And a bus with seven bunks
But the ship has already sunk
And last night I just got drunk

We got high, we got high, we got high, we got high

Don’t feel bad
About the good times you’ve had
Its just another night
You drank too much, you'll sleep alright
