Louise 03:48
It's a long stretch to August from September 31st but I'd spend that time dunked deep in lime just to have you walkin by chorus: Louise I'm glad that you left Len he was layin on you oppressively lockin you in his pen 2. there's an alter piece at your feet and it's there I pilgrimage in this holy year though steeped in fear that your magic will have passed - chorus 3. It's a hard road through mountains slings and arrows there to bear but if to hear your voice I've got no choice I'm mountain bound to day - chorus

Nancy 01:55
Nancy are you appreciative of your effect on me palpitation, indecision, stereotypic symptoms of being in love pre-occupation with the object of love Nancy I'm conditioned predictably just like that Russian dog salivation follows love and I lust after you Nancy they're not metaphors my words your face glows and my blood roars I'm afraid of what I'll do I'd throw it all away for you Nancy

Spider's Web 01:27
I chanced upon a spider's web as many have before a winged thing there was struggling to free itself once more 2. the spider was approaching to secure her catch she came to spread her thread about the thing resisting now in vain 3. I wanted so to rescue the spider answered no what right have you to interfere my dinner's getting cold

Alaska 03:51
When I was down in Louisiana I was never harried like here in Alaska It's so bloody cold when the sun goes down night time falls thickly for months It's as cold as death 'till the Yukon thaws out that won't be 'till July I'm dreamin of the bayou tonight dreamin of the bayou tonight 2. I wake in the mornin the windows are frozen I scrape it away and the snow's like an ocean steel stove is red hot but the coffee is cold the wood pile gets smaller each hour my breath turns to icicles clear to the floor I guess I can't handle this life I'm dreamin of the bayou tonight dreamin of the bayou tonight 3. I swear that I'm leavin but I never remember 'till I'm standin too late in the snows of September I ain't heard another voice my radio died I'm sick of the echo of mine It's muffled by the howlin wind that roars without pause I fear that I'm havin a fright I'm dreamin of the bayou tonight dreamin of the bayou tonight

Memory Net 03:42
I'm pickin up some images for later on (do do do dooo) when I'm alone (alone) I can be with them then (intimately) whether on the street or at the laundry mat I'm ever on alert for somethin I can catch in my memory net memory net 2. my lease is up in just two days I gotta race (do do do dooo) one bigger place (bigger place) I can be with them there (intimately) whether on my feet or at my sittin shack I'm ever on alert for somethin I can catch in my memory net memory net 3. my hat is up my head is not I'm landin late (do do do dooo) so I don't forget (don't forget) I can be with them there (intimately) whether at my peak or at my ground floor flat I'm ever on alert for somethin I can catch in my memory net memory net

Chaos Woman 04:06
It looks as though I've got to go some place where I'm not known Chaos woman is passin through my town her goin price a lovin wife a family for a night she's merciless but she's the best chaos on the road 2. It's her again I think I've been through this some time before chaos woman is just outside my door she'll turn to me and then she'll leave a sick and sorry day she's merciless but she's the best chaos on the road 3. she does just what it is she wants she calls the cautious clown chaos woman is passin through my town she'll grant the dark a special spark which fades when she's gone she's merciless but she's the best chaos on the road
8.
Every arrangement that I made this week has left me lookin down at my shoe and everyone of them politicians they seemed the kind that you could trust chorus: I'm quittin today may my head turn grey if I ask another to stay I'm tryin to go it alone I couldn't stand another no so if you see anyone with me that ain't me that ain't me 2. I met a man in Macon in a boogie bar I looked into his holy face he was so sincere but after just three beer he wanted me to join his church - chorus 3. the rain comes fallin on my afternoon a chill comes up under my door the magnolia clean it's a winter green melancholy in my room - chorus

Whale Song 03:09
The sea the sand the grass the sea shore the gull the tern the herron the seashore the wet sand sticking to your feet the pebbles the shells the crab on the seashore the wind blowing sand across the seashore the mist rising up out of the sea the whalers passing out beyond the seashore the harpoons glinting in the sunlight the red whales hauled out of the red sea

Tuisku 05:40
I can hear your footsteps as they're fading away I can't believe you're getting farther away It's too late now and it's gettin too later you must be to Ohio and it's gettin too later take this with you I love you 2. I can feel you missin in the places you've left I can put my finger in the hole you have left the leaves are frozen brittle on this winter day ice is on the window and this cold winter day you were good to me you were good for me thank you for being when you were where I am I'm havin my breakfast cat on my lap I'm stoppin to think of you on your land your cabin with paintings fine winter books dulcimer sound in the wood you touch things with order you speak a soft word I can hear you from here I can hear you from here horizontal fence lengths parallel the wide mile beyond the yawning hill the hogs are in the hog pen potatoes in the patch the fog is down this morning there's a green Kentucky chill astounding moon this morning sliver thin of light the sun implied your yellow side the mountains I can't climb
