1.
falling in threes is what the apples did from a limb on a tree on a lake next to your home waving from trees is what the birds did and we rode a red pickup truck up to your home i got cuts, i got bruises you can't win up here everybody loses so let's run from the school to the store let's buy some candy and steal some more now the hills fold me and the stars told me that we never have to grow old
2.
one more walk tonight making snow grey we click down the sidewalk street by street, feeling leaves my home is one the right and the city's so silent the moon is over the alley line by line the pages form when you heard me talk today could you sense all the change in my story finding a place to stay while angels walk before me let's by some bread and coffee and wait for the spring to come we can meet in the grass by the crucifix horns grow on my head
3.
I was a young boy And now I'm of age Traded my wisdom For a boxful of sage What will he do Oh What, Willie Dunn? For three hundred years He's been on the run On oldman river A dam blocks the flow And born with a tooth Is out on parole Three years in jail In a lonefighter's cell And the water don't flow Where there's power to sell If I was an old man I'd speak to my kid Tell him be strong Like the lonefighters did

Timber! 02:26
I can't see you I'm turning up the softlight I can't be there I'm lost in my own head tonight welcome back to all the friends you left behind i can't seem to lose the ones i tried to find feel i'm sinking noone here to pull me up sun comes through here spill the water from my cup there's no mention the future is a falling tree best intentions are gonna pave the road for me
5.
Hard time here and everywhere you go Times is harder than ever been before And the people are driftin' from door to door Can't find no heaven, I don't care where they go Hear me tell you people, just before I go These hard times will kill you dry long so Well, you hear me singin' my lonesome song These hard times can be so very long If I ever get off this killin' floor I'll never get down this low no more And you say you had money, you better be sure 'Cause these hard times will drive you from door to door Sing this song and I ain't gonna sing no more These hard times will drive you from door to door
6.
Lake bed dry as bone Gibraltar, silent stone When the fire passed too near Life was as sweet as it could Hangin' on like anyone would Doublewide by the river Livestock lost in the hills Smoke on the dead beetle kill Red pine on the ground I saw the flames on the mill From Michael's house on the hill And the horses in red smoke Black are the bones in the field Blackened, the way i feel Not like a robin
7.
St Joseph 06:42
wake up to your sun with the skyline haze and the spiral staircase where the radio plays across the country where dark things hide the ice is all melting it's warmer outside and churches reach pointing so high and seagulls wheel in the smoky sky and these old streets hold the map to my soul and spirit burns like a small piece of coal so sleep in your moonbeam that covers your head let our golden plans form on your bed and i am so far away from this place i should be the cuts on my fingers remind me
8.
Freight train, freight train, run so fast Freight train, freight train, run so fast Please don't tell what train I'm on So they won't know where I'm gone When I'm dead and in my grave No more good times here I'll crave Place the stones at my head and feet And tell them I've gone to sleep Freight train, freight train, run so fast Freight train, freight train, run so fast Please don't tell what train I'm on So they won't know where I'm gone When I'm dead and in my grave No more good times here I'll crave Place the stones at my head and feet And tell them all I've gone to sleep When I die please bury me deep Down at the end of Chestnut Street So I can hear old Number Nine As she goes rolling by
