Twilight

Over by the wildwood
It was a hot summer night
We lay in the tall grass
Till the mornin' light
If I had my way I'd never
Get the urge to roam
But a young man serves his country
An old man guards the home
Don't send me no silly salutations
Or silly souvenirs from far away
Don't leave me alone in the twilight
'Cause twilight is the loneliest time of day
I never gave it a second thought
It never crossed my mind
What's right and what's not
I'm not the judgin' kind
I can take the darkness, oh
Storms in the skies
But we all got certain trials
Burnin' up inside
Don't put me in a frame upon the mantel
'Fore memories grow dusty old and gray
You don't leave me alone in the twilight
'Cause twilight is the loneliest time of day
And don't leave me alone in the twilight
'Cause twilight is the loneliest time of day

Looking out the door
I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations
As their shoes fill up with water
Maybe I'm too young
To keep good love from going wrong
But tonight you're on my mind so
You'll never know
Broken down and hungry for your love
With no way to feed it
Where are you tonight?
Child, you know how much I need it.
Too young to hold on
And too old to just break free and run
Sometimes a man gets carried away,
When he feels like he should be having his fun
Much too blind to see the damage he's done
Sometimes a man must awake to find that, really,
He has no one
So I'll wait for you and I'll burn
Will I ever see your sweet return,
Or, will I ever learn?
Lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late.
Lonely is the room the bed is made
The open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one
Who dreams he had you with him
My body turns and yearns for a sleep
That won't ever come
It's never over,
My kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over, all my riches for her smiles
When I slept so soft against her
It's never over,
All my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
It's never over,
She is the tear that hangs inside my soul forever
But maybe I'm just too young,
To keep good love from going wrong
I feel too young to hold on
I'm much too old to break free and run
Too deaf, dumb, and blind
To see the damage I've done
Sweet lover, you should've come over
Oh, love I've waited for you
Lover, you should've come over
'Cause it's not too late

Plain Jane Heroin
03:45

There’s a stain upon the couch from where I tried to get you high
There's a bruise upon my leg again
I though we were making love but you were
Sticking it in my thigh
Now i cant feel my face again
I'm hooked on the plain jane heroin
I'm hooked on the plain jane heroin
I will never be the same without you Jane and your heroin
I thought I could dabble with you once or twice a week
I was in control of it
Now I’m swaying backwards with no shoes upon my feet
And I can't keep a hold of it
I'm hooked on the plain jane heroin
I'm hooked on the plain jane heroin
I will never be the same without you Jane and your heroin
I tried to live with mary just to get jane off my mind,
All it did was make the pain get worse.
Medicate the symptom and you never solve the crime
until you pick yourself up off the floor
Twenty-eight months sober and the days were all the same,
The sun goes up and down again,
But when I think about the way she felt inside my veins
I get bags under my eyes again
I'm hooked on the plain jane heroin
I'm hooked on the plain jane heroin
I will never be the same without you Jane and your heroin
