Traveler's Song (Ohio)
01:44

I remember oh so well
The night in Ohio.
Sleepless nights when we first kissed
'Twas many years ago.
What happened to my love my love?
What happened to our song?
Where did all the music go
The day it all went wrong?
We used to be so merry
We used to be so free
We used to prance around
And fill the world with glee.
The worlds are filling up my mouth
But I can't find the key.
A haze builds from the cigarettes,
It's almost time for tea.
Traveling o'er the River Jordan
To claim my love for thee.
The moon, the stars, the sky above,
They pour their light on me!
If I sit down and sing this song
Maybe you'll come to me.
Flowers circling 'round my bed,
They close my eyes for me.

Rain, Rain, Go Away

Rain, Rain
Go away
Come again another day
We don’t want to go and play
Save that rain for another day (Yeeeaaah!)
The man in the Mac
Is undisturbed by the rain
Trying to live his life in
Misery and pain
Let him live the delusion
It’s all you can do
It’s already too late
For me and you
Rain, Rain
Go away
Come again another day
We don’t want to go and play
Save that rain for another day
The girl in the blue
Is calling to you
I don’t know what she’s
Going to do
She wants love
Well so do you….
She wants to fuck
Both me and you
Rain, Rain
Go away
Come again another day
We don’t want to go and play
Save that rain for another day
The lady with the purse
Starts to converse
Always up for a
Time to rehearse
But the real world is
Her obverse….
She tries to go through life
But, shit, she is cursed
Rain, Rain
Go away
Come again another day
We don’t want to go and play
Save that rain for another day
Now that it’s time
To answer the cry
Poor lost souls
Bid us goodbye
The blind lead the blind
Well I don’t mind
They live in bliss
And… Unconsciousness
Rain, Rain
Go away
Come again another day
We don’t want to go and play
Save that rain for another day (Yeeeaaah!)
Rain, Rain
Go away
Come again another day
We don’t want to go and play
Save that rain for another day

Eating Waffles By Myself
01:42

Sittin’ in the café
Thinkin’ what I want to do
Drinkin’ beer and whiskey
And a couple of waffles too
My lady’s done left me darlin’
Don’t know what I’ll do
I guess I’ll just wait
For someone just like you
Eatin’ waffles by myself
Things really sure have changed
Ever since you left myself
I really have changed
Tryin’ to drink you off my mind
But nothin’ seems to work
I loved ya just too much
I loved every single quirk
I gotta learn to lose you baby
Oh how much it hurts
I don’t wanna lose ya
And now I feel like dirt
Eatin’ waffles by myself
Things really sure have changed
Ever since you left myself
I really have changed
Eatin’ waffles by myself
Things really sure have changed
Ever since you left myself
I really have changed

Tippecanoe and Tyler Too

Oh who had heard the great commotion
Motion, motion
All the country through
It is the ball a-rolling on
For Tippecanoe and Tyler too
For Tippecannoe and Tyler too
And with them we'll beat little Van Van
Van is a used up man
And with them we'll beat little Van!
Sure let'em talk about hard cider
Cider, Cider
And log cabins too
To only help to speed the ball
For Tippecanoe and Tyler too
For Tippecanoe and Tyler too
And with the we'll beat little Van Van
Van is a used up man
And with them we'll beat little Van!
Like the rush of mighty waters
Waters, waters
Onward, it will go
And the course will bring you through
For Tippecanoe and Tyler too
For Tippecanoe and Tyler too
And with them we'll beat little Van Van
Van is a used up man
And with them we'll beat little Van!

Black and white confusion
Everything is grey
Rain on my window
Wash the grey away
Away
All of my sadness
Running down the pane/pain
Open up my eyes and
Let me see again
Again
Rain
Rain down on me
I am not afraid
Let me let it be
Let it be
Black and white confusion
Everything is grey
Rain on my window
Wash the grey away
Away
Away

When the mountain
Touches the valley,
All the clouds are taught to fly.
So our souls can leave this land
Most peacefully.
Though our minds be filled with questions,
In ours hearts
We'll understand.
When the river meets the sea.
Like a flower that has blossomed,
In the dry and barren sand,
We are born, and born again
Most gracefully.
Thus the winds of time will take us
With a sure and steady hand.
When the river meets the sea.
Patience my brothers, and patience my sons.
In that sweet and final hour,
Truth and justice
Will be done!
Like a baby when it is sleeping
In its loving mothers arms.
What a newborn baby dreams
Is a mystery.
But in his life,
He'll find a purpose,
And in time, he'll understand.
When the river meets the sea.
When the river meets
The almighty sea.
