Don't leave me in the darkness baby
Don't leave me in gloom
Don't leave me in the dark
Rope round my heart
You don't write no letters to me baby
No pictures you draw
I don't get no mail through the slip of my cell door
I'm always left out begging for more
So feed me the medicine darlin'
The one that you choose
To chew through the rope
That is wrapped round your throat...

Devil After Dark

That man becomes a devil after dark
Oh they say that man becomes a devil after dark
He drinks a quart of whiskey like it's rain
Says it helps him with the pain
His woman she's scared to live her life
Oh his woman you know she's sacred to live her life
She cries her quiet tears when he's away
Says it helps her with the pain
When he gets home
He'll take off his belt
And he'll hold it up high above himself
A crash of thunder follows lightning
Ohhhh release
Oh the day she died
Was a Saturday in late July
Oh before she left...she poured poison in the wine...

If I Had a River

If I had a iver
I'd sail it to sea
If I had a road
Then you'd never find me
If all of my dreams are just coins in a well...does that make this hell
I'm just a man about town nowadays
Buy all I need on my blue collar wage
But if I lived a dream for each hours that I slaved...I'd be made
Take me away...
I've been running around in circles
So give me a pen & I'll write it all down
In my little book that I carry around
And hopefully someday somebody will read
Something they think that somebody will need
And they'll take me away from this...
No more running around in circles
Give me something to fear
Miss my home...

Crow

Hey crow I hear your sorrow
I see you bad dream
I read you & weep
Sing me a story
Of when the stormy skies were miles away
Golden days of glory
Your mothers joy
The preachers book
The shepherds crook
I can't see what you see
10 feet walls surround me
Break it to me gently
Better yet, just don't leave
My days are long & empty without you...
My days are long & empty without you...
