Meet Me In The Morning

Meet me in the morning in California. I'll be there with a blue raincoat. I'll be waiting to hold you. If you don't come, I'll return the next day. If you never come, I'll write you letters. If you return those, I'll call. If you don't pick up, I'll fly to you. If you move your house, I'll check the book. If you take your name, I'll search. If you want none of this, I'll never understand.

Meet me in the morning in the bedroom. I'll be there with nothing on. I'll be waiting to love you.
If you don't come, I won't take another. If you never come, I'll hold your place. If you forget me and all my loving, I'll remember. If you turn cold to my touch, I'll warm your heart. If you replace me, I'll dream of you. If those dreams die, I'll never understand.

Meet me in the morning in the kitchen. I'll be there baking a pie. I'll be waiting to feed you.
If you don't come, I'll make another. If you never come, I'll save a slice. If your tastes have changed, I'll go to the market. If your belly is full, I'll take my time. If you cannot eat, I'll eat for you. If you don't want my home cooking, I'll never understand.

Meet me in the morning by the church bells. I'll be there wearing white. I'll be waiting to give to you. If you don't come, I'll pay the preacher to stay. If you never come, I won't send him away. If you won't stand beside me, I'll wear the ring. If your minds made up, I'll never understand

Don't Give The Devil Any Ideas

Well, you may dance around in your town like a ballerina on crack
Belting songs deep from your throat about Mr. Jill and Jack
While your eyes are busy spinnin lookin round at this and that

Don't give the devil any ideas

When the cigarettes you've been smokin taste so deaf dumb and flat
When the people you've been pokin for a philosophical chat
Send you off and out for battle with nothin but a bat

When your husband loses interest and your assets have been tapped
When the milk man seems to linger as you pour another glass
You may find yourself Temptation in a bizarre circus act

If you're scratchin at the front door for a warm welcome mat
And the home you once felt sweet in starts to taste of salt and rat
And your mind has drawn conclusions around distant future facts

When your mother seems to whimper like a Medieval cat
And your pa can't do nothin but lie down and take a nap
When your grandpa has been dead for too long to save your ass

When you cannot tell the difference between yellow, blue or black
When you switch around the stations looking for a new forecast
When you do not recognize your own face under a hat

If your pencils have gone nubby and your fingers cannot scratch
If your bark has lost it's biting and your mind becomes a trap
You may want to tie the noose around your neck like a cravat

If you've stumbled on a ticket that has no return address
And you think a plane will free you from the trials that have past
You may dance with the idea but it's a geographical mess

When the bank man keeps you strangled with a red rejection stamp
And the lawyers won't protect you when your enemies attack
When the idea of escape starts to resemble a track

Try to figure on surrender, god will give you if you ask
Humble pie can do you better than just actin' like a brat
And we all need our salvation when The Man comes with his axe

Don't give the devil any ideas

I'm Lovesick For You Tonight

I'm lovesick
I'm lovesick
I'm love sick for you tonight
Your words run through my mind
Like a tornado in the sky
I'm lovesick for you tonight

When you sat me down on that porch to talk
I didn't know you meant to take a walk
For good or bad
I can't say I'm glad
You cut me down

When you said you didn't know how to stay
I couldn't help but fade away
You're words were cold
And I should know
Better by now

I'm lovesick
I'm lovesick
I'm love sick for you tonight
Your words run through my mind
Like a tornado in the sky
I'm lovesick for you tonight

I begged the doctor for a pill or two
He said one day I'll get over you
But I don't believe
Anyway, I'd like to be
Well

I built a fire in my living room
With all the letters I got from you
But they would not burn
For more than an hour
Or two

I'm lovesick
I'm lovesick
I'm love sick for you tonight
Your words run through my mind
Like a tornado in the sky
I'm lovesick for you tonight

My friends told me I was being hard
On myself and taking this too far
But they don't understand
How very sick I am
Still

I tried to find another one, to care
Thought it could take my mind off you not being here
But he didn't walk right
And he talked too much
Just like you

I'm lovesick
I'm lovesick
I'm love sick for you tonight
Your words run through my mind
Like a tornado in the sky
I'm lovesick for you tonight

I made a visit to my congregation
Hoping they could help me with my occupation
But they shook their heads
Told me god is dead
I knew

When your sister took my brothers hand
I thought I had another chance
But just like then
You would not talk
Or feel

I'm lovesick
I'm lovesick
I'm love sick for you tonight
Your words run through my mind
Like a tornado in the sky
I'm lovesick for you tonight

I threw a party with many fancy guests
Then lost my ticket and I couldn't get in
So I stayed outside
Waiting for someone to come
But no one did

My blood is thinning and I'm getting weak
This time tomorrow I won't be able to speak
So don't ask my name
My head will fall
And roll

I'm lovesick
I'm lovesick
I'm love sick for you tonight
Your words run through my mind
Like a tornado in the sky
I'm lovesick for you tonight

I'm lovesick for you tonight
I'm lovesick for you tonight
I'm lovesick for you tonight
I'm lovesick for you tonight

I Will Turn My Face

I used to be an angel
Wide eyed and lovely
I used to sing
I used to believe
but now I'm nobody at all

I used to pray
Open mouthed and loud
I used to cry
I used to laugh
But now I'm nobody at all

I will turn my face
To another name
And no one will no me again
I will turn my face
To another name
You will not know me friend

I used to feel
Hard pressed and deep
I used to call
I used to write
But now I'm nobody at all

I used to think
Logically, metaphorically
I used to plan
I used to draw
But now I'm nobody at all

I will turn my face
To another name
And no one will no me again
I will turn my face
To another name
You will not know me friend
You will not know me friend
