MIDNIGHT RAMBLE 03:24
lyrics

Okay, I've got a midnight ramble All night you find me walking through the brambles All morning, see me looking for my Spanish boots Made of Spanish leather Okay, I've got a midnight ramble All night you find me walking through the brambles Blue morning's gonna take me back part of the truth Forget where I left it I make believe we're on the same train, maybe Thought of the time when the conductor drove us crazy Not being lazy but I don't know what I'm going to do Thought of when I loved you Now I'm looking at your face out in the water When it gets hotter maybe thought I could've caught up I'd have a daughter, and a lot I should've thought of But as it stands it's morning rain without a dollar Passing through, you're on my mind again 'Cause even you are beautiful too Okay, I've got a midnight ramble All night you find me walking through the brambles Blue morning's gonna take me back part of the truth Waiting at the station 3:10 to Coimbra and I'm packing on the platform Goodbye to nothing, and I'm on the sleeping car that's warm They take my ticket, but I bought it back in '92 When I was a baby

lyrics

Ahab: "There's something ever egotistical in mountain-tops and towers, and all other grand and lofty things; look here, - three peaks as proud as Lucifer. The firm tower, that is Ahab; the volcano, that is Ahab; the courageous, the undaunted, and victorious fowl, that, too, is Ahab; all are Ahab; and this round gold is but the image of the rounder globe, which, like a magician's glass, to each and every man in turn but mirrors back his own mysterious self. Great pains, small gains for those who ask the world to solve them; it cannot solve itself. Methinks now this coined sun wears a ruddy face; but see! aye, he enters the sign of storms, the equinox! and but six months before he wheeled out of a former equinox at Aries! From storm to storm! So be it, then. Born in throes, 'tis fit that man should live in pains and die in pangs! So be it, then! Here's stout stuff for woe to work on. So be it, then." - Moby Dick, Chapter 99, "The Doubloon"

HEAT WAVE / SUN RISE 03:39
lyrics

Nick: Still it's time that grows in my brain Still it's time that calls me here Still I scream when time ticks Still I cringe when time strikes There's flies in the kitchen and nobody's listening to me The street's full of furniture, no-one turns to look at you, too late There's smoke in my pocket but nobody's talkin' bout old times Six days in the frying pan, trying to believe you can survive Some people tell you to stay Some people say it's a record breaking heat wave Sunrise and it's creeping in, can't believe it's happening to me Sunrise one year older, look over your shoulder, it's too late Some people try to move on Some people fall in with the products of their first love Sun rise and it's creeping in, can't believe it's happening to me Surprise when I told her I can't believe I'm older than Nick Drake Some people never move on Some people fall in with the products of their first love Some people never move on Some people say it's a record breaking heat wave

You can do what you want to do You can go where you're going to, Oh my You can have everything you see From the waterfront out to the sea Oh my Oh my The entire city's thrown The man picked up my poems, said he wanted to cry You can have anything you see Just don't pin anything on me Oh my Oh my You can die in the morning time You can die in the heat of July Oh my Entire cities fall But the wind keeps up the squall, Don't know why Oh... You could've loved anything at all We're gonna put your head on the wall Oh my... Oh my...

GOODBYE KEVIN 03:19
lyrics

Kevin is here, and he's got three dollars for me Can't you see He's a rover out on the road, And he reaps what he sows, And he spends five minutes at home, Then he's gone for the day Yeah, he's gone gone gone for the day Goodbye Kevin Oh my, was it a tightrope walker? Oh my, was it the feds Walking around his head Trying to say "Don't complain"? He's using his chords to reach people Reach out till he's bored Not for nothing Keep reaching the world, the world is listening Kevin is here, and he's got three dollars for me Can't you see, He's been so long out on the road He deserves what he's owed And he spents five minutes at home, Then he's gone for the day Yeah he's long gone, what can you say Goodbye Kevin Oh my, was it a tightrope walker? Oh my, was it the feds walking around his head only to say "Don't complain"? "Don't complain"?

MEMORY 04:14

Memory, come again I need you some again I need your love again And there between my years I measure Memory, come again I miss you some again I miss your love again And there between my years I measure Measure something new Measure part of you Remember, how easy to forget Measure something new Measure all of you Remember, how easy to forget Softly, rise and fall I'm seeing through it all When time slows to a crawl, And there between my fears I measure Softly, rise and fall The moment's here, that's all When time slows to a crawl, And there between my fears I measure I didn't know what to do, I was alone in my mind I didn't know what to do I didn't know what do I was alone in my mind I was alone in my mind

FAREWELL 02:42
lyrics

Farewell Silent town I walked this morning Summer sun is here beholding Us, my god, it seems so blinding All the years are ever-widening Even now, they some close up Close enough that they could hold you And even in the morning light, though much is taken much abides Oh well, Rather be where life is hiding Rather be where seas are winding Farewell Silent town I walked this morning Farewell Summer sun is come to hold you Summer noon is now before you
