I let you down time and again
I’m not the same as I was back then
Baby won’t you give me a hand
And show me the new kind of man that I am
Oh my shoes are all worn through
From walking all these miles to you
I’ve seen the desert I’ve seen the storms
But nothing compares to being in your arms
Oh Theresa
Won’t you forgive me
I know I only ever caused you misery
But I think I’ll go insane
If this is the last time you call my name
I’ve come all this way
All this way
All this way
My hands are calloused, I’ve worked the land
I know what it takes to be your man
Theresa I want you back again
Oh won’t you give me one more chance
Oh Theresa
Won’t you forgive me
I know I only ever caused you misery
But I think I’ll go insane
If this is the last time you call my name
I’ve come all this way
All this way
All this way
Baby you’ve got eyes like wine
That fill this old heart of mine
Come on tear down your walls of stone
And I’ll build for you a hearth and home
You don’t have to live, live alone
Oh Theresa
Won’t you forgive me
I know I only ever caused you misery
But I think I’ll go insane
If this is the last time you call my name
I’ve come all this way
All this way
All this way

Down to the River

I went down to the river to pray
I hoped God would be waiting for me
I didn’t know I was strayin’, devils they were singin’
Waitin’ to take my soul away
Your heart’s the only thing I can see
You said you’d give me love for free
But Lord do I hate you and God how can I take you
When you killed and took my husband from me
Oh Lord
Oh Lord
Oh Lord
Who will comfort me?
Makin’ love by the light of the moon
The hangman will come for us soon
Oh the lawmakers wrote it, the law breakers know it
Sure as the knot in the noose
My heart’s the only thing you can see
You couldn’t get my love for free
I forced you to do it, I told you to shoot him
To put it on the line for me
Oh Lord
Oh Lord
Oh Lord
Who will comfort me?
Oh Lord
Oh Lord
Oh Lord
Who will comfort me?
So bury him in the side of the hill
Tell everybody else that he fell
Swallow up your fears and don’t hide your tears
Brother keep on ringin’ your bell
I went down to the river to pray
I hoped God would be waiting for me
I didn’t know I was strayin’, devils they were singin’
Waitin’ to take my soul away
Oh Lord
Oh Lord
Oh Lord
Who will comfort me?
Oh Lord
Oh Lord
Oh Lord
Who will comfort me?

Unfamiliar Ride

Help me Lord
I’m on the path
Nothing can stop me
Or face my wrath
I hear the rain
It’s comin’ down
And in white lightning
I will drown
It clothed the kids
It bought you bread
Now ‘cause of moonshine
You want me dead
I’ve been gone on that unfamiliar ride
And now I’ve come and it’s time to say goodbye
You brought the law
Down on my head
And all the waters
They ran bright red
I got the gun
And jumped the tracks
Baby you worried
But now I’m back
I’ve been gone on that unfamiliar ride
And now I’ve come and it’s time to say goodbye
So kiss me babe
Just one more time
This is your last chance
To make it right
You loved me
I was your man
But baby you forced me
You forced my hand
I’ve been gone on that unfamiliar ride
And now I’ve come and it’s time to say goodbye

Signals
03:54

I sent you a signal
A signal of smoke and breeze
Oh I sent you a signal
A signal through the trees
Come find me
I started a fire
Oh it spread like wild
I started a fire
And the flames only leapt higher
I’ll be here a while
I wrote you a song
But all of the words were wrong
I wrote you a song
And the wind carried it off
I won’t be here long
You called through the canyon
I remember hearing my name
It echoed and it landed
At my feet and to you I came
Oh I am changed
You tested these waters
Took my hand and led me to shore
And we’ll sail through these waters
I’ll pine for you no more
No more, no more
I started a fire
Oh it spread like wild
I started a fire
And the flames only leapt higher
I started a fire
Oh it spread like wild
I started a fire
And the flames only leapt higher
I’ll be here a while

Buried
02:48
|

|
Oh I’ll pick you up when you’re down
and you'd go and turn me around
I never thought that I would be crowned
King of the Innocents
You were lost in a field
I gave you the strength to be healed
You took my love and you
and you, you threw it all away
And you threw the dart
That pierced my heart
And you don’t care
And yet you were the one
Who went for your gun
And you don’t care
Well nobody calls when you’re around
They just leave you on the ground
You don’t make a single sound
As time goes by
And you leave too much to be found
I have to go asking around
You buried beneath the ground
This love that was ours
And you threw the dart
That pierced my heart
And you don’t care
And yet you were the one
Who went for your gun
And you don’t care
And you threw the dart
That pierced my heart
And I don’t care
And yet you were the one
Who went for your gun
And I don’t care
