The Miller Tells Her Tale 701
When paradise no longer fit for you to live in
Your adolescent dreams are gone
Through the days you feel a little used to
You don't know where your energy's gone wrong
Just your soul feeling a little downhearted
Sometimes life is too ridiculous to live
You'll catch your friends all on one finger
I know it sounds crazy, just the way that we live
But to your laugh and a tear
The smile in the mirror as you walk back
To your laugh and a tear
That's as good as it can get for us
And there ain't no reason to stop trying
When this cardboard town can no longer amuse you
See through everything and nothing seems worthwhile
A hypocrite used to be such a big word to you
Don't seem to mean anything to you now
Just try to live each and every precious moment
Discouraged by the world and the world around you
Try a future, forget your past
It's only past, but it'll be good to you
I know there's a balance, I see it when I swing past
To your laugh and a tear
The smile in the mirror as you walk back
To your laugh and a tear
That's as good as it can get for us
And there ain't no reason to stop
Trying
Hey, yeah, between the laugh and the tear
The smile in the mirror as you walk back
Between the laugh and the tear
That's as good as it can get for us
And there ain't no reason to stop trying
No
When paradise can no longer amuse you
Yeah, yeah

John Mellencamp from Scarecrow and Between a Laugh and a Tear,
the first Americana album I think I ever bought.
Well, hi and welcome along.
This is the Miller Tells a Tale with me, Karen Miller,
two hours of the best in Americana music.
And following on from last week's 700th show,
there were a lot of artists and songs I wanted to play that I couldn't fit in.
So they'll be on the show this week.
We're going to be hearing from bands such as Jeff Finland,
Karen Matheson, Michael McDermott, Kieran Kane and Kevin Welch,
Hipsway, Swag, Willie Nelson, James Taylor and more.
Right now, though, here is...
This is from Brookdown, it's Horseshoe Lounge.
Ricky got the quarters for the table and broke
While I pulled hard on the sorrow and smoke
Raising up my bottle, I looked for a chance
As you set your glass down on the bar with a glance at me
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
Shuffleboarders
and neon light
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
Cigarettes and whiskey tonight
Ricky said she's out of your league
Let her go
As I watch you pick your partner on that old dance floor
I know it didn't work out the first time we tried
But I'd do anything
To have you by my side
Again
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
Peel the label off a Miller Lite
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
I sit here thinking about you every night
Are you the one who faltered?
Was I the one who strayed?
Maybe God?
Left us out of the plans he made
So here's to missed beginnings
And things that never start
For these are the ghosts that run around in my heart
When I see that where I'm going isn't where I wanna be
I get the urge to look you up
See if you would come and meet me
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
Hey, buddy, have you got a light?
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
One more and I'll be all right
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
Peel the label off a Miller Lite
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
I sit here thinking about you every night
Are you the one who strayed?
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
Peel the label off a Miller Lite

I sit here thinking about you every night
I get the urge to look you up
See if you would come and meet me
Down at the Horseshoe Lounge
Peel the label off a Miller Lite

Hey, buddy, have you got a light?
I get the urge to look you up
When I see that where I'm going isn't where I wanna be

I don't know what to do
And now it's plain
I know nothing at all
I should have known better
The taste
But I took it all
On blind faith
And now the bad guys
Have all run away
Lonely won't leave me alone
I tried, I tried
But you won't let go
It's a pain
That won't go away
Lonely won't leave me alone
There was a time
I had pride
I had friends
Stood by my side
And a smile was all
I had to give
Under a spell
Under a cloud
I fell in
With the wrong crowd
And so I guess
I learned my lesson well
guitar solo
Lonely won't leave me alone
I tried, I tried
But you won't let go
It's a pain
That won't go away
Lonely won't leave me alone
Chalking days on the wall
Seems this night won't end at all for me
Patience leaves
Trace your smile on the glass
Try to make an hour last
Till I come back
And I'll start over again
on again
Come on again
Come on finger
We'll all hi-ya
Come on fine
We'll all hi-ya
Come on again
Lonely won't leave me alone
I tried, I tried, but you won't let go
It's a pain that won't go away
Lonely won't leave me alone
There was a time I thought I knew
About life and what to do
I tried, I tried, but you won't let go
Looking into your eyes last night
I was fighting, I was fighting
A losing fight, but I was fighting
Talking on the phone today
I was taken by the things
You had to say, you had me thinking
I stumbled, I fell
Under your spell, your spell
I crumbled, I crumbled
Under your spell, your spell
I crumbled, I crumbled
Thinking all night long
There'll be no sleeping, no sleeping
But I'm alone
Yeah, I'm alone
had me thinking
I stumbled
I fell
under your spell
spell
I crumbled
If I'm someone to love in this world
What can I be tonight?
With a couple of days
and a harsh morning light
I think I found my stride
Oh, but I felt it losing it
guitar solo
I stumbled
I fell
under your spell
spell
I crumbled
Thank you.
Kevin Montgomery and Pettibone, that Pettibone being Doug Pettibone,
from another long story that was stumbled.
We heard the Arlenes before that from Stuck on Love and Lonely Won't Leave Me Alone.
And I started with Slade Cleaves from Broke Down and Horseshoe Lounge,
a song he wrote with Karen Poston.
And it was a venue in Austin, a great venue.
I visited it two or three times, a place where you couldn't buy hard liquor.
You had to bring your own if you wanted that.
Anyway, you're listening to The Miller Tales of Tale with me,
Karen Miller, two hours of Americana music.
As I said, last week was my 700th show.
I played some of the songs that I have loved and have great memories for me from over the years.
And this is kind of part two of that because there were far too many to try and fit in.
If you want to find out full details about everything on this week's show

Well, coming now, this is Jim Bryson, a Canadian singer,
songwriter from his album The Occasionals.
This is One Cigarette.
One Cigarette.
Don't expect a penny from the teens.
Oh, much like a folkshit kind of dreams.
One cigarette didn't seem like much of a threat.
If you think I'm done, we'll never last.
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo. Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
In a pleasant past,
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
If you think I'm done, we'll never last.
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo. Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo. Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo. Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.
Do do do do do
Do-do-do-do-do
The gentleman collar in the blue suede shoes
He don't know what to do
He just wants to look good for you
So he rushes in to tell you what he did today
But he can't think of what to say
I think he'll listen anyway
He wants to have a good time
Just like everybody
He doesn't want to fall apart
You watch him as he stutters over what to say
It's just a little game you play
It's no easier for you someday
He wants to have a good time
You wish that you could tell him it'll be okay
But you feel a little shy these days
Cause everybody goes away
Oh, you just want to have a good time
Just like everybody else
You don't want to fall apart
You don't want to fall apart this time
guitar solo
I can look into your eyes
And see the mess we're in
Well, darling, if it's shit came out
Then I suppose that it's shit winning
Even though I couldn't say
I've been the places that you've been
You know I've been the places that you've been
Oh, he made my heart real strong
Even if he made my head real thin
I want to have a good time
Just like everybody
And I don't want to fall apart
Oh, I want to have a good time
Just like everybody else
And I don't want to fall apart this time
So would you please invite me in?
Oh, I really love a red-haired girl
I'm just another boy from Texas
Come on and take a spin
I've got a brand new set of wings
Oh, I
I've got a brand new set of wings
Oh, I really love a red-haired girl
I'm just another boy from Texas
Come on and take a spin
Hey, I've got a brand new set of wings
Man, I sure do love them red-haired girls
I'm just like all the boys from Texas
Come on and take a spin
Hey, little girl
I've got a brand new set of wings
Come on and take a spin
I'm just another boy from Texas
Come on and take a spin
In the fading spring twilight
She said, I'll do it, Jeannie, boy
As the thunderstorm blew in
Then they ducked inside to beat that rain
And let their lives begin
Jeannie worked the diamond mines
She knew not much else at all
She'd dig the dirt, fatten the herd
Then whack their heads and fall
If this life she ever questioned
She'd recall at a wedding day
And the words the preacher spoke
Before he sent them on their way
He said, isn't it a wonder
The sun ain't rising and it fall
Isn't it a wonder
Yeah, love, it conquers all
Isn't it a wonder
Let your conscience be your plane
Yeah, love, it conquers all
And you will come to see
These golden rings
As the perfect mark of king
Well, their love fell to a whisper
It almost never sang at all
And the speed would have it lead
One night a stranger came to call
She had killed and fried the fetid beast
For Jeannie and all his hounds
Then took them in and took a walk
To the bar outside of town
He was standing in the neon
In a black mortician's hat
Rhinestones splashing in the mirror
Over the wooden bar and back
He laid on and he hit on her
Which was little more than a hand
Which was little more than change
A few kisses and an understanding
Of the perfect mark of king
Isn't it a wonder
The sun it rise and then it fall
Isn't it a wonder
She failed nothing for so long
Isn't it a wonder
She stood laughing in the morning rain
With an aching head and a new tattoo
Of the perfect mark of king
Well she packed that ugly morning
With all her warning talons
And shattered things
And paid the ticketmaster
With a single golden ring
As the train pulled from the station
The winoist stumbled past the door
And she knew that losing everything
Was the only hope of finding home
Jeannie found a goodbye note
On a nightstand by the bed
And killed the pain of his broken heart
With a gunshot to the head
The family thought their love was perfect
As they washed them splattered doors
Until they read the note she'd left them
They found a couple on the floor
And said isn't it a wonder
Hello's just like goodbye
Isn't it a wonder
All the calm lies in the air
Isn't it a wonder
Living and dying's just the same
And it was signed with a teardrop
Yeah the perfect mark of king
Jeff Finland from the original Finn
Still my favourite of his albums
There's some fantastic songs on it
That was the perfect mark of king
We heard the counting crows
Prior to that from Hard Candy and Good Time
And I started there with Jim Brighton
First song I ever heard from him
From the album The Occasionals
That was One Cigarette
Well it's time for some weepies now
Starting with Beth Nielsen Chapman
This is such a wonderful song
A very moving song
It's Sand and Water
All alone I
Didn't like the feeling
All alone I
Sat and cried
All alone I
Had to find some meaning
In the centre
Of the pain
I felt inside
All alone I
Came into this world
All alone I will
Someday die
Solid stone is just
Sand and water
Baby
Sand and water
And a million years gone by
I will see you
In the light
Of a thousand suns
I will hear you
In the sound
Of the waves
I will hear you
I will know you
When I come
As we all will come
Through the doors
Beyond the grave
All alone I
Heal this heart of sorrow
All alone I
Will see you
a thousand times
All alone I will
Soon and truly
Words that are
I will see you
In the light
Of a thousand suns
I will see you
In the light
Of a thousand suns
All alone I
Santillan
Made a gift
To you
I will see you
In the light
Of a thousand suns
I will hear you in the sound of the waves
I will know you when I come
As we all will come
Through the doors beyond the grave
All alone I came into this world
All alone I will someday die
Solid stone is just sand and water, baby
Sand and water, baby
And a million years gone by
His wish to my free
His right now my leave
And a million years gone by
His right now my leave
I will never forget
And I will never forget
His right now my leave
And I will never forget
His right now my leave
The war is no longer in my hands
Thank you.
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it
All away
But I remember
Everything
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Go away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stain of my heart
I wear this crown of thorns
Of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way
I was going to try and play
a different song.
from Johnny Cash on this show
but I couldn't.
I had to play that one.
I love it.
Absolutely love it.
The video is incredible.
The song is incredible.
It was Hurt, of course,
from American Four,
The Man Comes Around.
We had Karen Matheson
before that from Down River,
a song called Crucian Navasta,
which is a song about
a parent who has lost their child.
It's another incredibly sad song.
In fact, you don't really need
to know the words to tell it's sad.
Karen sings it so well.
And we started with
Beth Nielsen Chapman
and Sand and Water.
You're listening to
The Miller Tales of Tear Up
with me, Karen Miller.
Show number 716.
Coming now,
Michael McDermott.
This is from his album
Willow Springs,
the song he wrote
about his father.
It's called
Shadows in the Window.
He was always standing
looking out that window
Or sitting in his easy chair
He was always a bit of a mystery
Always seemed so far away
Even when he was
standing next to me
We never had that much to say
He would always hear me
coming or going
From a million miles away
I'd see his silhouette
in the window
Every time I pulled out
of the driveway
I'd see his silhouette
in the window
I'd see his silhouette
Now there's a shadow
in the window that's missing
There's a shadow
in the window that's gone
I only want to tell you
I love you
And I'm doing my best
to be strong
And hold on
I always wondered
what he was thinking
Was he waiting for me to crash?
Or maybe he just wanted
to come with me
But I never thought to ask
And I wondered
what he was doing
Watching me every day
I was wondering
every time I drove away
And I wonder what he did that for
Maybe he just wanted me to stay
Now there's a shadow
in the window that's missing
There's a shadow
in the window that's gone
I only want to tell you
I love you
And I'm doing my best
to be strong
And maybe I'll see you in heaven
At least that's how the story goes
Now there's a shadow
in the window that's missing
And I'm having a hard time
letting go
And I'm having a hard time letting go
And maybe he felt like a prisoner
Bound by invisible chains
Hidden all around
Yeah, it took more out of life
than it took out of him
He said, son, I want you to be
So much better than me
I was never sure which ones were true
But he was too big for this small town
He was an Irishman through and through
And the bagpipes moaned on that cold day
The day we laid him to rest
But all I could say is I'd drive away
I'm sorry that it came to this
Now there's a shadow in the window that's missing
There's a shadow in the window that's gone
I only want to tell you I love you
And I'm sorry that things went so wrong
And maybe I'll see you in heaven
At least that's how the story goes
Now there's a shadow in the window that's missing
And I'm having a hard time letting go
And every time I see
Seems to take a part of me
That's the price that you pay when you're wrong
I cry when I have to
And I lie when I can
But I die when I can
I die a little slower
On the train to Birmingham
Got holes in both of my shoes
Got a guitar full of blues
A one-way ticket for my remedy
It's the same old lonesome song
Been a-singin' all night long
Hey, Porter, are we out of Tennessee?
I cry when I have to
And I lie when I can
But I die a little slower
On the train to Birmingham
A little slower
On the train to Birmingham
piano plays softly
Well, every year I take this train
To Alabama in the rain
When I get this lonesome feeling in my bones
And I never get to Birmingham
But getting there ain't the plan
Yeah
I just like the feel of going home
I cry when I have to
And I lie when I can
But I die a little slower
Yeah
On the train
To Birmingham
On the train
To Birmingham
Yeah
Ooh
Oh
away
mmm
ay
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in dinner
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes
Did I say that I loved you?
Did I say that I wanted to be at all?
I can't take my mind off you.
.
I can't take my mind off you.
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind
My mind
Till I find somebody
I've found no more
Where the ink bled through
Under a song
I was writing for you
Crumbled up in a drawer
Stained with blue
Quiet and easy
What I wanted to prove
The plainest thing
I walk right by it
It's just the plainest thing
Sun hits the floor
Same as shadows win
So I sat in the light
And I stayed very still
Heat on my skin
And I stayed very still
Bright in my face
I didn't have any questions
I didn't feel out of place
The plainest thing
I walk right by it
The plainest thing I walk right by it
It's just the plainest thing
It's just the plainest thing I walk right by it
I don't know how it works
I don't know how to say
I was thinking about us
It's the plainest thing
The plainest thing
I'll walk right by it
It's just the plainest thing
I forgot about it
It's just the plainest thing
Tiff Merritt, my favourite song from her album Tambourine, that was Plainest Thing.
Damien Rice before that from Oh! and The Blower's Daughter.
And I'm proud of that, it was Kieran Cain and Kevin Welch from Live in Melbourne.
I played this song a couple of weeks ago on my live performance show.
It was sung there by Kevin with Blue Rose Café.
It's a John Hyatt song, but that was with Kieran Cain from the Live in Melbourne album Train to Birmingham.
And I started with Michael McDermott from Willow Springs and Shadows in the Window.
Well, I played Jim Lauderdale on my show last week,
but I'm going to play him again.
I'm going to play another one from him because he is my favourite singer-songwriter.
This is the title track from his album The Hummingbirds.
And in fact, it was my ringtone for a number of years.
And I had Jim in the car once and it went off and I was really embarrassed.
But I think he was quite chuffed anyway. It's Hummingbird.
Well, the hummingbirds are coming back sooner than expected
Those of us on the ground watching them get their nectar
Well, you took me to a better place since we first connected
All the hummingbirds are coming back sooner than expected
The strings are flowering, what's a new life brings
You've got a wondrous heart, makes a lot of new lives start
Well, the hummingbirds are coming back sooner than expected
And the songs they bring with their wings fills the air with laughter
When I see you, it's living proof that love is resurrected
All the hummingbirds are coming back sooner than expected
Follow the coming buzz
They're looking close to the horse
All part of nature's plan
I couldn't take my hand
Well, the hummingbirds are coming back sooner than suspected
Suspended then, flying off what they have collected
Well, you showed me while they're hovering what I had not detected
Oh, the hummingbirds are coming back sooner than expected
All the hummingbirds are coming back sooner than expected
Well, the hummingbirds are coming back sooner than expected
And the songs they bring with their wings fills the air with laughter
When I see you, it's living proof that love is resurrected
Oh, the hummingbirds are coming back sooner than expected
The birds are coming back, sooner than expected

I would never deny
Well, the life of the prepared
Let me see what I don't get
The life of the prepared
Let me see what I don't
Pass me through the heat
Come on, come on
And pass through the heat
Catch a thief
A honey thief
I'm a thief
A honey thief
Don't get me
The life of the prepared
Let me see what I don't get
The life of the prepared
Let me see what I don't get
Surprise should be
Mmm
When love gets in the way
Stay here till the night
I come to steal your stuff tonight
You've got the sugar to satisfy
I'm the man you can never deny
Well, the life of the prepared
Let me see what I don't get
The life of the prepared
Let me see what I don't get
The life of the prepared
Let me see what I don't get
The life of the prepared
I'm the man you can never deny
When love gets in the way
Come on, come on
And pass me through the heat
Come on, come on
I'm a thief
Honey sucker
I don't get the whole thing.
The lie of deep regret.
Let me see what I don't get.

Let me see what I don't get.
The lie of deep regret.
Let me see what I don't get.
The lie of deep regret.
Let me see what I don't get.

Let me see what I don't get.
The lie of deep regret.
Let me see what I don't get.
The lie of deep regret.
Let me see what I don't get.
The lie of deep regret.
Let me see what I don't get.
Dear Trixie, tell me do you miss me
Though it was yesterday when you went away
Dear Trixie, do you ever wish we
Sometimes I think about, now I just do without
All day long I've been sitting singing sad old songs
Wondering when you'll come back home, home to me
Dear Missy, give this note to Trixie
Tell her I tried to call, it was no use at all
And if she doesn't seem to miss me
Then I'll just make believe she's coming back to me
All day long
Sitting singing sad old songs
Wondering when she'll come back home, home to me
And how long will I be waiting
And how long till you come home
Dear Trixie, oh and incidentally
I bought a ring today
Come on, what do you say?
Forgive me, I don't know what I'm thinking
Sincerely signed above
Someone you used to love
All day long
I've been sitting singing sad old songs
Wondering when you'll come back home
Home to me
Yeah
Dear Trixie, tell me do you miss me
Yeah
Swag from Catch All and Trixie
We heard Hipsway before that and The Broken Years
And I started there with Jim Lauderdale from The Hummingbirds and Hummingbird
Walked back to Canada for this next one
It's Justin Rutledge and The Junction 40
First album I ever heard from Justin
And I fell in love with his music there and then
It was called No Never Alone
This is Sleepless in Vancouver
You'll be watching Summer Is Over
Love never ends
How to come back from an old Christmas
Where everything Cynthia won't get
Made exist
Kissing you and I
With a hug lost
When the Perfume
Adfashionedly
Unaggrandizably
May you live
That will last hundreds of millions more years
No healing
No harder
Thank you.
How the weatherman
Complains about the heat
The tourist waves are carrying on the street
The clumsy thumbs of summer
Point to Kitsilano Beach
The trains are in the distance
How to reach
And the whales are rolling
Dazzling in fleas
And you were riding sleepless
In the car
And I was swaying like this
At the bar
You said that we'd be sweethearts
When I learned to play guitar
But man, I never learned
To play guitar
Oh, now I'm swaying like this
At the bar
guitar solo
Thank you.
And only memories remain
And through the ages I'll remember
Blue eyes crying in the rain
bass solo
Someday
When we
When we meet up yonder
We'll stroll hand in hand again
In a land that knows no party
Blue eyes cry in the rain
In my mind I'm gone to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine
Can't you just feel the moon shine
Ain't it just like a friend of mine
To hit me from behind
Guess I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
Karen she's a silver sun
You best walk her away and watch her shining
Watch her watch the morning come
A silver tear appearing now I'm crying
Ain't I?
Gone to Carolina
In my mind
There ain't no doubt in no one's mind
That love's the finest thing around
Whispers something soft and kind
And hey babe the sky's on fire
I'm dying ain't I?
Gone to Carolina
In my mind
In my mind I'm gone to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine
Can't you just feel the moon shine
Ain't it just like a friend of mine
To hit me from behind
Guess I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
In dark and silent date last night
I think I might heard the highway calling
Geese in flight美味ed bite
The signs they might be omen say I'm going
Going, I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
ạn
With a holy host of others
standing around me
Still I'm on the dark side of the moon
And it seems like it goes on like this forever
You must forgive me
If I'm up and gone to Carolina
In my mind
In my mind I'm gone to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine
Can't you just feel the moon shine
Ain't it just like a friend of mine
To get me from behind
Yes I'm gone to Carolina
In my mind
Gone to Carolina
In my mind
And I'm gone to Carolina
In my mind
Gone to Carolina
In my mind
Gone I'm gone
I'm gone
Always my favourite James Taylor song.
He's talking about someone called Karen, I don't know.
Anyway, it was Carolina on my mind.
And another favourite before that, Willie Nelson
from Red Headed Stranger and Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain.
And I started with Sleepless in Vancouver
from Justin Rutledge and The Junction 40.
Well Bonnie Prince Billy now
from Greatest Palace Music
This is Agnes, Queen of Sorrow.
There we go.
To doubled bass сы commendation
Though I love it
I don't know
But I will wait
Today
If you wait another day
I will wait
If you wait another day
Okay, okay
And if you wait another day
I will wait a day
And if you wait another day
I will wait a day
Every time I think you say
It's time for us to go our way
I say wait another day
If you wait another day
I will wait a day
If you wait another day
I will wait a day
Well, I got a letter that did say
That the kid passed
Away and everything it didn't say
Time's got me in its way
And though I'd like to ride away
I will wait another day
So if you wait another day
I will wait a day
If you wait another day
I will wait another day
I will wait a day
If you wait another day
I will wait a day
If you wait another day
I will wait a day
I'll wait with you

It can't happen any more
I'll explain it later
If you wait another day
I will wait a day
Without a reason or rhyme
And maybe right around the corner
It could come up from behind
A picture that I thought would fade
But I still clearly see
That's when I thought of you
It catches up with me
And it could happen on a winter drive
The sky above's a shade of blue
Driving down some lonesome highway
And you'll come into view
You're mile after mile rose by
And you'll come into view
But your face is all I will see
When I thought of you
It catches up with me
Thought of you
Comes into my mind
It always carries me away
To a better place and time
And it could happen in the dead of night
Any day of the week
Sometimes you will come and find me
And it could happen in the dead of night
And I'm in bed with you
And I will have that dream of you
And I sure like what I see
And I will have that dream of you
When I thought of you
Catches up with me
When I thought of you
Catches up with me
When I thought of you
Catches up with me
It catches up with me
Cocaine flame in my bloodstream
Sold my coat when I hit the road
Bought myself a hard pack of cigarettes
In the early morning rain
Lately my hands, they don't feel like mine
My eyes been stung with dust and blinds
Held you in my arms one time
Lost you just the same
Jolene
I ain't about to go straight
It's too late
I found myself face down in the ditch
Booze in my hair and blood on my lips
A picture of you holding a picture of me
In the pocket of my blue jeans
I still don't know what love means
Jolene
La la la la la la
Jolene
Been so long since I've seen your face
I've felt a part of this human race
I've been living out of this hair suitcase
For way too long
Man needs something he can hold on to
Nine pound hammer or a woman like you
Either one of them things will do
Jolene
I ain't about to go straight
It's too late
I found myself face down in the ditch
Booze in my hair and blood on my lips
A picture of you holding a picture of me
In the pocket of my blue jeans
I still don't know what love means
Jolene
La la la la la la
Jolene
La la la la la la
Jolene
When I first heard that song from Ray Lamontagne, it blew me away.
I thought it was incredible.
I thought he had the most amazing voice.
It was from the album Trouble.
It was Jolene.
Before that, Jimmy LaFave, a song that featured on my best of 2018 shows.
It was from his latest and final album, Peacetown,
When the Thought of You Catches Up With Me, a cover of a David Ball song.
And I started there with Bonnie Prince-Billy from Greatest Palace Music
and Agnes Queen of Sorrow.
Well, another all-time favourite of mine now is Chris Isaac in Wicked Game.

With you
This world is only going to break out
No, I
This world is only going to break out
Nobody
Loves no one
Friends stop by
With cards and flowers and bottles of wine
I just smile and tell them, yeah, I'm doing fine
Ah, but if they only knew
All I see
Are shattered dreams and might have been
All I see
And these empty rooms I'm barely living in
And I don't send me no roses
Cause what do you give
The man who had everything
What do you give
The man who had everything in the world
Now that his whole world
Has been torn in two
What's the man who had everything to do
Friends say I need to get out there
And start living again
But how can I get out
When I've already given in
Ah, but if I only knew
How to stop
This worn out movie
That constantly plays
Endless frames of blue sky
Better days
Keep your sympathetic lunches
What do you give
To the man who had everything in the world
Who's the man who had everything
What do you give
To the man who had everything to do
The man who had everything in the world
Now that his whole world's been torn in two
What's the man who had everything to do
Yes, I don't need to get away
So what's the man who had everything to do
Tripped to some exotic place
Where I'll only think of you
And end up paying for a view
I won't sleep
It don't make any sense to me
Cause what do you give
To the man who had everything?
What do you give
To the man who had everything?
Now that his whole world
Been torn in two
What's the man who had everything to do?
I'm shipwrecked in the night
I watched a girl with eyes like thin ice
To dive into these pools of blue
But I tripped over the ice
For you
I curse these cool whispering lights
I curse the things that keep me from you
Again my patience makes the climb
Will my tears buy me time?
In your light I crumble
Forgot what I've been told
I never thought that I could feel so whole
You're at the center
Of everything I do
Wherever I go
I'll walk the last mile with you
I heard you say
Dissolve in my arms
And run to fall
In these meadows
But you're just a memory
From a mocking old dream
But I cling to my dreams
I'm drawn to things that kill me
It's safer to pretend
But I'll deceive myself again
In your light I crumble
Forgot what I've been told
I never thought that I could feel so whole
You're at the center
Of everything I do
Wherever I go
I'll walk the last mile with you
I've seen the whole world turn to gold
It's just like a fairground ride
Sometimes it turns out
That the tyrants of the world
You'll always know
Someone loves you in this world
I want you to burn
I want you to burn like I've burned
I want you to burn like I burn
I'll wake up to the harsh light
Spill my heart in a cold night
I've got too much time to kill
I wrote your name upon my wall
In your light I crumbled
Forgot what I'd been told
I never thought that I could feel so whole
You are the center of everything I do
Wherever I go
I'll walk the last mile with you
Walk the last mile with you
In your light I crumbled
Forgot what I'd been told
I never thought that I could feel so whole
You are the center of everything I do
Wherever I go
I'll walk the last mile with you
. . .
