Down the willow's bed

he woke up at dawn, he woke up at dawn
with his ribs pressed against his heart,
into the dark, dark. hum... hum...
I am what's left of a dream I had,
a secret that I did not hear quite right

Oh the endless roads, from where my feet stands
and there is a smile at the end of every one,
but not for me

Because the rain knows my name,
she knows where i'm living
and she told my nightmares,
where I'm hiding, hiding
Down the willow's bed
Down the willow's bed

So I took one of them, the one that sang "my dear heart"
and I walked, and I crawled over the years
To an empty space, an empty, empty space

And so I stopped to stare at the buildings
where they were advertising your absence,
my dear heart, my dear heart
see this girl, she could tell a lie better than me,
better than me

Because the rain knows my name,
she knows where I’m living
and she told my nightmares,
that I’m bleeding, bleeding
Down the willow's bed
Down the willow's bed
Down the willow's bed
Down the willow's bed

Dreams & Feathers

With one glass of wine, you’ll make me stay
With two glasses of wine, you’ll make me go away

With three glasses of wine, everybody thinks you’re funny
Except maybe your mother, or some close, close friend

When all your hopes are dreams & feathers
And all you lose are dreams and feathers

Looking back on the years
And seeing how wrong I was
For making you go away
Hum, I should’ve never let you go away

When all your hopes are dreams & feathers
And all you lose are dreams and feathers

The friends I don’t need, and the lovers I’ve forgot
they all write me letters “please, please come back”
And it hurts, man it really hurts
To know you’re a crow
when you should have been a humming bird

When all your hopes are dreams & feathers
And all you lose are dreams and feathers
Oh momma
When all your hopes are dreams & feathers
And all you lose are dreams and feathers
