There is a fountain filled with blood Drawn from Immanuel’s veins And sinners plunged beneath that flood Lose all their guilty stains The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day And there may I, though vile as he wash all my sins away Eer since by faith I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply Redeeming love has been my theme And...Learn More

I was just 17 when I left St. Clair County And no one came looking for me So I never looked back but I carried that picture of us back when we were 13 We haven't spoken since I missed your wedding They don't parole you for that I'm so tired of the view from this road that I'm walking But, Lord, it's a long way back Chorus: There are ghosts that...Learn More

Do you think of me when you hold her? When the night is still above When the only sounds for miles around are your heartbeat and your love? Is the silence disturbed by whispers of promises breathed a thousand times?

The winter thaw had broken and the days were getting longer You saddled up to ride into the town All the dreary months of staring out the window, quite alone Had given you an itch to settle down That poisonous wind that followed you from Santa Fe to Tulsa Died down when you turned and headed north It might be just the time to end this...Learn More

She was a low-down, no-good snake in the grass Breathing fire and drinking from a stolen flask But I shot her in the chest and I watched her die; Won't say I'm sorry and I never will cry Chorus: O, Mother don't you know That the devil reaps all the seeds you sow? O, Daddy, can't you see That the bottom's hidden when the well is deep? I was a...Learn More

We were young. And we were only learning, how one touch could stop the turning of the clock We were strong, we thought no pain could come between us, that we'd lean on each other when it came When it came Chorus You don't need me anymore Though you promised me forever You can't see me anymore, but I still want to be together like we were Like we...Learn More

The first thing I don't miss about you, baby Is wondering where you are and where you've been Can't say that I miss your morning phone call Explaining why you didn't come home again Everything is easy, now that you are dead Next thing I don't miss about you, Darling Is trying everyday to turn your head Wanting to despise myself completely For...Learn More

I've wasted years now listening to you say you want me That you'd marry me when you were free to choose But I've opened up my eyes, see your words are only lies So I've taken on a lover to replace you Chorus: There is nothing I can get from you that I can't get from a bottle I still get the morning after shame, still lay in bed and curse your name...Learn More

Faith is being sure of what you hope for But is that the same as knowing what you want? I've tried to live the life that I have chosen But endless longing's all I ever got Chorus: How I wish that you were here To smile and tell me what a fool I am To tell me open roads and songs that taste of smoke and gin Let you down, just like people, in the...Learn More

I long to sing you to sleep And I dream about singing you to sleep It’s so quiet here at night And I long to sing you to sleep Now I lay here like a tomb And I lay here like a tomb And no living thing is stirring As I lay here like a tomb I won’t forget your lovely face I can’t forget your silent face And how the warmth was fading and you were...Learn More

I know what you're thinking about I know what you've done Won't be long til morning light finds you here or gone Chorus: The house is eerie in the dead of night But if we keep on running it'll be alright I see it in your eyes when you're afraid - Don't cry Lila. Don't cry Lila Hard to make out what went wrong But you know your hands aren't...Learn More
