Americana - The Miller Tells Her Tale

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

I get the urge to look you up

See if you would come and meet me

Hey, buddy, have you got a light?

I get the urge to look you up

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

or any of my other shows, then do visit my website, themillertaleshertale.net.

You can also find the listing on Facebook if you're on social media.

And I'm on Twitter at TMTHT.

These shows can be subscribed to as a podcast.

Just go to iTunes or other podcasting software

and you'll receive them miraculously in your inbox every week.

And you can also stream them on Mixcloud or listen on WRFN 1025,

Mystery Train Radio and Radio 6 International.

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

Sleepy cat

Honey sucker

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.

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.

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.

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

kal sek.com

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

. . .
