Relief 04:56
I am relieved Can’t fake a whole lifetime of ramblin’ In speeches and songs. I, I’ve been here before I heard her footsteps, quiet, in the morning When she walked out my door. Then I was feeling low Felt like orphan when I woke up Filthy and worn. And now, I think it best to move on For how can we mend the worthless, And make something meaningful/beautiful? I need anyone To make heart in this heartless old place And free my soul But places they change And I won’t remain here, no no no Won’t be here for long And the day keep changing, the world keep turning Sun keep your shine from the valleys, to the mountains, to my home. And I don’t need anyone So when you leave, leave the cold in your eyes Leave your harsh melody. Sipping on lilac wine, Where is my love? Get high to get by and forget time To remain and not run. Cause places they change I prey for those places I love And the ones I’ve known well Places they change If you need anybody when you’re low I’ve been there before

Just Like Me 04:53
In thick air, it remains And even in the rain Move like a train, And sing like one too Point the toes towards the road, always Simple and plain And change with the season I don’t have the words No, not anymore They’ve been gone since she’s gone And it’s emptied out me Early in the day I look to the sky Even if I pour like rain And babble like water And just as the sun Falls down from the sky Lay restless and hot In sweaty dark shadows But not alone, oh no A fool like me Move when the seasons change And now I don’t have the words No, not at all Just been thinkin’ about the season And the weather outside Think I’d like to wonder off westward With wine stains on my teeth Though I’m quite fond of New England And the rest of the east I’d like to find myself in freedom Wherever I be Up late at night Burrowed in my room Remain in the evening For as long as the moon I was thinkin’ about the past And the people I knew Some strangely beautiful Some untamed and foolish And most I haven’t the words to describe I supposed she danced good Cause the way that she move Strangely uneven She go- Walks alone late at night Cause she needs a new high Like I need a new girl Like I new pair of shoes I think I could die today And not even care at all So’s we can finish our glasses And leave work for the dawn Then we’ll push off the straps Tied to our packs I’d like to go to California Once the winter comes back But no, I don’t have the words No not right now But the burden remains. So let in the cool rain For my babbling brook Though I feel bout the same.
