The reel writes me another story About the bullets that fly through the north country The mamas cry their lullabies Of another black son dead tonight The streets are mourning this morning The sewers flood with papa's blood And nobodies child is safe in this place Where the devil kills for the chase Bad news, Im the bearer of bad news Oh Lord what we can I do Bad News, always bringing such bad news Oh Lord what should I do I must admit love I am afraid I cling to you but your far away I’ve lost my sword, I’ve lost me shield Dig us a well so we can be healed The devil walks, the devil is real to me Even as I sing I can hear him gnashing his teeth I feel your hand I see the wall You’ve locked him away and you will not let me fall

Plenty 03:26
Plenty pretty women but I dont know if Im one of them And my lover has eyes and lips for all of them See the ground crumlbes under your feet And the pipes break beneath the street The spider crawls round your grave Plenty pretty women but I dont know if Im one of them And my lover has eyes and lips for all of them And the blade that he pulled from my back bleeds more when Im away from him The spider webs your smile Drawing wrinkles for awhile Till your woven back as a child Plenty pretty women but I dont know if Im one of them And my lover has eyes and lips for all of them And the blade that he pulled from my back bleeds more when Im away from him And the vows that he gave unto me fade away again The spider webs your throat Pulling out the lies you have told Till there spun on the corners of my home Plenty pretty women but I don’t know if Im one of them And my lover has eyes and lips for all of them And the blade that he pulled from my back Bleeds more when Im away from him And the vows that he gave unto me fade away again

Tree of Life 02:20
Take us to the tree of Life It is there we’ll find our sight No more darkness No more lies When we gather in the sky The King has taken all our men Lined up and shot 'em dead The children walk on broken feet They have all but what they need The doves have fallen fast asleep I am sleeping too it seems All the grey did swallow you We have lost our point of view

Mama, oh Mama I can’t have a child of my own I’ve already grown two little girls that were taken from their home I gave them all my love and it stripped away my heart The valley between us is as wide as it is dark Doctor, Doctor I can’t have a child of my own I’ve already loved two little ones like they were my own The good book had no answers and troubled their little minds Why I was not their mother and their own mother died Write His words on your tongue, And walk firm in His love Forgive what’s been done I will hold you in the setting sun I will hold you in the setting sun Husband, oh husband, I can’t have a child of my own My womb is now weeping my seed has turned to stone I lived my life a stranger and a thief Now I’ll blow away the sharpness of My childless grief
5.
There are songs that have been sung That burned a face into the sun Then fell as rain on everyone faded to grey We walked all through the night Walked in search of guiding light But we found it much too bright and turned away All through out the night we search for day Watch us imitate ourselves Lose our minds inside the bells And as long as we’re for sale someone will pay It goes all along the road All along the way We walk blind some hold on, some go astray All through out the night we search for day

Lion 05:06
Your father was a gypsy man Played guitar in a travelin’ band You have his eyes/ You have his hands He left you here to rule this land And I will be your dancer I’ll sell my soul to your stage The movement holds the answers and the rhythm reveals the age Evil, evil Evil, evil How you entertain my fate Then the lion comes, the lion comes To lead me on my way Your such a sexy scented gal You strut your skin like a pearl You were born into an oyster shell And on the tip of my tongue you will dwell The earth beneath my back The blade between my teeth Where were you and what were they When I was screaming out for help The reflection of my fear When ‘no’ could not be heard Hopped up on the needle fire so I could be all that he desired My lover he is a soldier Defend me from my foes All the men that pushed me down Are buried in some dark hole Evil, evil Evil, evil How you entertain my fate Then the lion comes, the lion comes To lead me on my way

Pop, I know you had no choice Had to watch for yourself Taught me not to raise my voice Told me not to raise no hell But you raise the speed of my heart You raise the heat in my blood You could raise your fist up to me But you couldn't raise your son You wasn't no rolling stone A stone is something you can hold Real quick I had to get real grown Keep me an' mama outta the cold Pop, I never knew ya, I hope you didn't die alone And at the end of the day I Hope you find your way back home Grandpa Charlie was a giant man Had a lion's heart Used to pick me up in his hands Used to watch me play ball in the park Tellin' jokes/ kept our Christmas warm Jet-black coffee in his cup He never talked about the war He turned his hearing aid off Fifty years he made my Grandma his wife That night he left I know he loved us all of his life Right up to his last breath Charlie we were at your bedside You did not die alone And at the end of the day, I I hope you find your way back home Got some incense smoking Got a candle burning low Kitchen-wall clock is broken What day it is I don't even know I travel from city to city What is it that I'm trying to find? I know I can't take nothing with me Leave it all behind I know I done people wrong I hope that they're alright Gotta keep traveling on Travel on into the night Mama I'ma come back to you You will not die alone And at the end of the day I hope I find my way back home

What happened to your head? Who let you fall/ After I warned them all All our minds go rotten When we feel forgotten By the voices we ignore You’ll always be my brother Flow through my blood as I wander The sound of your voice puts me to sleep The Lord he told me He will keep you For the ones who love you All your words are lost/At the broken cross Over the orphans bed And what happened to your head/ Who let you fall After I warned them all You’ll always be my brother Flow through my blood as I wander The sound of your voice puts me to sleep The Lord he told me He will keep you For the ones who love you Oh to be a man/ No more a child Takes a little while Whats good to desire/ When the love you admire Feels so wrong

Ghost Dance 03:01
All along the prarie grass sinners pay their fines Toil through the burs and sticks to work away their lives A hundred Sisters line the walls/ Hands upon my eyes Their voices reach to heaven to plead for my life Never seen you so fearful/ Never seen you so bold A fever from the sadness/ A fever from the cold You can’t stop my ghost dance/ You can’t bleach my heart I will dance in prison/ I will dance in the dark
10.
When my heart stops/ pumping blood When my breath quits/ and I know that it’s real Don’t carry me/ a-top majestic mountains Bury me beneath the killin’ fields When my eyes fade away When my spirit leaves and all my sins revealed When the funeral fire gets done burnin’ Bury me beneath the killing fields Bury me, oh bury me/ bury me, Lord, Lord bury me Lay my soul, lay my pride/ where my people fought and died Bury me beneath the killin’ fields When my days don’t come no more/ death come knocking at my door Bury me beneath the killing fields When you hear the death bells roar/ from a politician’s war Bury me beneath the killing fields When my voice no longer sounds/ and my families gather ‘round Bury me beneath the killing fields When my heart no longer pounds/ and the reaper’s coming down Bury me beneath the killing fields Where my people lived as slaves/ came and left without a name Bury me beneath the killing fields With the warriors that came/ lived and died upon the plains Bury me beneath the killing fields
11.
Savior, O Savior/ Come to my door Unlock my window/ I can’t take no more I can’t take no more Pull me ashore Savior, O Savior/ What is this war? What is this freedom?/ I can’t take no more I can’t take no more/ Pull me ashore Savior, O Savior/ Look at your poor Look at your hungry/ I can’t take no more Can’t take no more/ Pull me ashore Savior, O Savior/ I’m broken and tore I’m restless and weary / I can’t take no more Can’t take no more/ Pull me ashore Savior, O Savior/ I walk through the thorns I’ve carried my burdens but I can’t take no more Can’t take no more/ Pull me ashore
12.
What a beautiful face I have found in this place That is circling all around the sun What a beautiful dream that could flash on the screen In a blink of an eye and be gone from me Soft and sweet/ let me hold it close and keep it here with me And one day we will die and our ashes will fly From the aeroplane over the sea But for now we are young/ let us lay in the sun And count every beautiful thing we can see Love to be in the arms of all I’m keepin’ here with me What a curious life we have found here tonight There is music that sounds from the street There are lights in the clouds Anna’s ghost is all around Hear her voice as its rolling and ringing through me Soft and sweet/ how the notes all bend and reach above the trees Oh now how I remember you/ how I would push my fingers through Your mouth to make those muscles move/that make your voice so smooth and sweet And now we keep what we don’t know/ Our secrets sleep in winter clothes With one you loved so long ago/ now he don’t even know his name What a beautiful place I have found in your face That is circling all around the sun When we meet on a cloud I’ll be laughing out loud I’ll be laughing with everyone I see Can’t believe how strange it is to be anything at all
