He’s mean handsome
Can’t hardly be decent together
He’s American rough
Eating the heart out of this room
He’s bumping uglies
With the luckiest queen
He’s American rough
Eating the heart out of this room

Under You

Another day and you’ve escaped
I rise alone barely too late
I fall deeper into your hand
This bed is just a stranger’s tomb
When you’re away beyond this room
Do you recall exactly who I am?
I’m under you
With a spell that can’t be broken
I’m under you
When your fingers trace my ear
I’m under you
Like a pillow on a high summer noon
Begging for the sun to return you
To me again and here we are
You hold me with the dawn so far away
In evening’s endless canyon
Your arms so strong, they keep me warm
I feel my blood, it’s been reborn
Let me stay a nickel in your fountain
I’m under you
Throw your clothes onto my chair
I’m under you
Rest your lips upon my brow
I’m under you
Like a shadow begging for a curtain call
On a full moon stolen away too soon
I’m under you
With a spell that can’t be broken
I’m under you
Rest your lips upon my brow
I’m under you
Like a pillow on a high summer noon
Begging for the sun to return you

Thought I heard you calling from the door
Hollering like the queen that you were
Saw your baby burning up the dance floor
I was bawling
Sometimes you’re the sunshine
Just leaning on my wall
Sometimes you’re my radio
Honky tonking all night long
Lavender Cowboy, stranger in your hand
Wander the highways with your ragged angel band
And come out singing when you can
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, by and by
There’s a better home a-waiting
In the sky
Sometimes you’re the neon
Just lighting my way home
Sometimes you’re the sweet smoke
Rolling off my bowl
Lavender Cowboy, stranger in your hand
Wander the highways with your ragged angel band
And come out singing when you can

Sunset in the area rug
Round the crook in the hallway
Clouds on the tabletop
Two-step to the balcony
Hear the helicopter roar
Walk the diamond dotted blue
Follow me, babe
Just a crack of light
In an old downtown window
Thunderbolt bourbon sky
Tucked away with a view
Hear the helicopter roar
Walk the diamond dotted blue
Follow me, babe
I’ll follow you
There’s nobody but us babe
Leave your boots by the door
Fall into me like hard rain
Relentless and sure
Of a love like this
A love where your kisses can cure
A love that can give
Shoulder to shoulder, hush
With a ring finger slowly
Touch the rest from just above
Make shapes for me only
Hear the helicopter roar
Walk the diamond dotted blue
Follow me, babe
I’ll follow you
There’s nobody but us babe
Leave your boots by the door
Fall into me like hard rain
Relentless and sure
Of a love like this
A love where your kisses can cure
A love that can give and give
Hear that helicopter roar,
Walk the diamond dotted blue,
Follow me, babe
I’ll follow you

Your Whisper
02:54
|

|
Your whisper swimming in my ear
Clear as the falling rain
I watch it pool around
Inside the window frame
Like my love around your name
Like my love around your name
Your whisper reaching for the ceiling
Just like the tulips do
See them crane, see them ache
What am I gonna do?
What am I gonna do?
Your whisper heavy in my hand
True as a golden band
Waiting for an answer
What am I gonna do?
What am I gonna do?

Gorgeous Things

Speaking of gorgeous things
You could be mine tonight
Just like the first bloom of spring
I don’t want you out of my sight
I won’t let you out of my sight
Speaking of biblical names
You’re someone I’d like to know
Wish I didn’t have to let you go
We shouldn’t be alone together
But I don’t want to leave your light
Boy, you’ve got a pair of eyes
Hanging on you tonight
Speaking of long goodbyes
I should’ve been home by two
He’ll be looking for my eyes
But they’ll still be looking for you
No, we shouldn’t be alone together
But I don’t want to leave your light
Boy, you’ve got a pair of eyes
And you’ve got a pair of little brown eyes
Hanging on you tonight
Just for tonight

You Turned Me On
04:26

I started looking for guys
That look like you
High and low, honey
Sweeping Halsted like a broom
No line up can size up
No other jawline will do
I’m looking all over town
For guys that look like you
My heart ain’t thinking it out
My mind is beating indigo blue
High and low, honey
Sweeping Halsted like a broom
How come the rain
Seems to fall down in your name
I’m looking all over town
For guys that look like you
Baby, you know I wouldn’t lie
I think about you all the time
Those dark September eyes
On every chiseled face out there
I picture your facial hair
Lift my little head and cry
And I’ll never be the same
You turned me on
I’ll never be daddy’s little angel
You turned me on

Love Songs

Now that you’re gone
I’m all alone
There’s no castle in the air
I can’t go on
Singing a song
That only brings me tears
I used to sing love songs
Crazy to be somewhere
Brandishing my daisies
Walking on air
You came like a memory
Salty, sweet and towering
Dancing through my daydreams
Leaving me there
Wrecked and I’m blue
Heartbroken too
Hanging on by a thread
I can’t go on
Singing a song
When I know how the story ends
I used to sing love songs
Crazy to be somewhere
Brandishing my daisies
Walking on air
You came like a memory
Salty, sweet and towering
Dancing through my daydreams,
Leaving me there

An heir of Don Juan
Horsetooth smile
With arms like trees
I melt away
On your low hard brow
You stare a hole in me
The eye can wander forever
Isn’t love where it lands
Isn’t love where it lands
After the rainfall
Where great storms cry
Shadows cloud my mind
I lost it all
With arms wide open
Never burn too many times
I’ll never burn too many times
The eye can wander forever
Isn’t love where it lands
Isn’t love where it lands

You’re fighting to be fighting
Don’t know another way
Second mass sirens and terrible timing
Bad luck on the good Lord’s day
Crying’s only crying
Don’t mean another thing
Smoke stacks smoking, high rises choking
Clouds holding back all the rain
Loving can’t be losing
When you know it by its name
Salt trucks chewing, street lamps cuing
Take the red line and walk away
You’re fighting to be fighting
At night you kneel down and pray
Like a strike of lightning, you said, “Ties only bind us"
Didn't Daddy fight the same way?

Wow! It's a wonderful, vibrant collection of rock songs. it's hard to believe i never heard of them until now. I hear some references to some of my favorite artists; Fleetwood Mac, Allman Bros, and Heart. Yeah, I am an old man but I can still rock out to this Album. I can't wait to get the rest of your works.
