Girl from Kansas City
03:07

Come tomorrow night, I could be back home
There's a girl from Kansas City I could call
I've looked around, for the color blue
The only thing I've found was me there without you
Me without your love, me without your care
You without the touch of moonlight in your hair
So tomorrow night when it's turning cold
I'm gonna grab the only ticket I can hold
There'll be a train coming right behind this one
But I don't think I'm gonna get on
Oh we all ride, all ride sometimes
Can't be underground for that long
Darling if I had, had another life
Another car, another road, more money too
I would spend it all, all on foolish things
I would spend it all to be with you
Everybody lies, everybody strays
What about a life where everybody stays
Dance with me tonight, call me on the phone
Or I'll spend a lifetime dreaming all alone
There'll be a train coming right behind this one
But I don't think I'm gonna get on
Oh we all die, all die sometimes
Can't be underground for that long
When I dream, I dream of love
When I'm in love, sometimes I dream
I dream of night, I dream of stars
Well I often dream of many other things
There's a town, and there's a road
It's getting cold, and far away
We dream of that place sometimes
If I make it back again I'd probably stay
There'll be a train coming right behind this one
But I don't think I'm going to get on
Oh we all fall in love sometimes
Can't be out of love for that long, I said now

Children of the Moon
04:11

We might be sleeping there
In different rooms
We watch the sun go down
We see the same lame moon
I said relax my love
I've got the perfect con
We can make em think it's over
We can lead em on
Oh yeah, I'm thinking life goes on
Long after the thrill of love is gone
We might be mowing down
Different lawns
When I turn in at night
I leave the porch light on
To watch the river flowing by me
On a holiday
Gonna sleep between the blankets
That your mother made
Thought we would never roll down
Or leave the porch light on
We can make em think it's over
We can lead em on
We've got to bury both our eyes
Maybe our lives will roll easy now
Gonna act like nothing's wrong
Better that way, it doesn't last too long
Daydream, think about you
Will it ever be true
Dreams last for so long
Even after our love is gone
Gonna make em think it's over
Days ride on
Gonna make em think it's over
In the cold grey dawn
Gonna make em think it's over
On a holiday
Gonna make think it's over
That we've gone away
We've got to bury both our eyes
Maybe our lives can roll easy now
Act like nothing's wrong
Better that way, it doesn't last too long
Daydream, think about you
Will it ever be true
Dreams last for so long
Even after our love is gone

Where'd I Go
03:48
|

Well I'm going where the water tastes like wine
You can jump right in and stay drunk all the time
It's the sweetest thing I've ever come across
But you can't get it back now when it's lost
Where I'm going every night is Christmas Eve
And there's parties there like you would not believe
And you wake to fields of freshly fallen snow
But you can't take it with you when you go
If you'd like to know
Where I've gone - where'd I go
Just don't ask what's wrong
Why did you - wait so long
Well I'm older now and I've forgotten you
Like the grass in afternoon forgets the dew
Like the winter trees forget the sparrow's song
And you can't get it back now when it's gone
If you'd like to know
Where I've gone - where'd I go
Don't ask what's wrong
Why did you - wait so long

Neon Blue
03:02

Hello, it's time you knew
How long we've waited for you
You're not alone as it may seem
Making it here wasn't easy
There's galaxies between our worlds
Light years of sleeping on floors
And decades more of waking dreams
Making it here wasn't easy
And we go up holding hands
Like it was something we planned
The lights go out it's neon blue
How long we've waited for you
Attraction of a tractor beam
Wonder in everything
We're balancing between two worlds
Pulling me up and I'm grateful
You made me forget my dreams
I'm not quite sure what that means
Covered the earth with sea and soil
We cut the trees, the oceans boiled
Gave us the gift of electric light
We left them on, erased the night
You made me happy for so long
And I can't believe you're gone

Lover, Don't Believe It
04:38

Lover, don't believe it can't be done
Been so many years don't know where I begun
Moses never made it to Canaan
Arthur fell asleep at Avalon
Write a song and I might sing along
But I may not
Sudden high waves and drowning islands
Humming highways and dance euphoria
Okay, I've seen it all, let's go
There'll be no promised land, I know
Watch the apples fatten on the trees
All of them will fall eventually
Shrivel, rot and dry up in the sun
Lover, I can't be the only one
Lover, don't believe it can't be done
Been so many years don't know where I begun
Moses never made it to Canaan
Arthur fell asleep at Avalon
Write a song and I might sing along
But I may not
Sudden high waves and drowning islands
Humming highways and dance euphoria
Okay, I've seen it all, let's go
There'll be no promised land, I know

Birds in Springtime
06:06
|

If you want me to tell my story I've got all day
But if you're looking for a happy ending there's an easier way
Just go, baby go
I was raised in central Kansas where the rails collide
There's a silver moon shining by the river tonight
Will I lose you out there later on
We used to see birds in springtime, now they're all gone
Nice to know, nice to know
The world's spinning fast, why not take it slow
Nice to know, you've been nice to know
But everything you love, sometimes you gotta let it go
L is for Loving, L is for Leaving
I'm hooked on a fortune, I'm hooked on a feeling
O is for Open, O is for Over
I'm caught up in Crimson, I'm cut down in Clover
V is for Very, Very Suspicious
You do the cooking, and I'll do the dishes
E is for Every, You know, Everything Ever
Man it don't work out that way all the time but never say never
But the obvious difference to me
I still like to do the things you do
The obvious difference to me
You don't love me but I still love you
If you want me to tell my story I've got all night
But if you're looking for a happy ending, won't make anything right
Hey, if you got a problem, there's the door
Don't think I can use it anymore
I don't know, I don't know
The world's spinning fast, why not take it slow
Nice to know, you've been nice to know
But everything you love, sometimes you gotta let it go
L is for Loving, L is for Leaving
I'm leaving behind all that troublesome feeling
O is for Open, O is for Over
My doors are open, if you're coming over
V is for Very, Very Ambitious
But I'll do the cooking, and I'll do the dishes
E is for Every, You know, Everything Ever
Man it don't work out that way all the time but never say never
But the obvious difference to me
I still like to do the things you do
The obvious difference to me
You still love me, I still love you
