From the Epic release 'Sweet Oblivion'
SHADOW OF THE SEASON
L. Conner, M.
Lanegan
The hour is
ending, can't you see
There is no way now, to get free
In the shadow of the season
Without a reason, to carry home
Without a reason, without a reason
And from the north
woods
Down on the valley
In a world of hurting, I'm moving on
Out from the lighthouse
Out on the ocean
Can't climb the mountain, so very tall
Said Lord please
give me what I need
He said there's pain and misery
Oh sweet oblivion feels alright
The hour is drawing ever closer
And rolling over, won't let me be
In the shadow of the season
To find a reason, to carry home
Said Lord please
give me what I need
He said there's pain and misery
Oh sweet oblivion
She calls me
onward to her side
And feels her song deep inside
And find a reason
In the shadow, of the season
To find a reason to carry home
In the shadow, of the season
To find a reason to carry home
Find a reason, to carry home
To carry home, to find a reason
To carry home, to carry home
NEARLY LOST YOU
V. Conner, M.
Lanegan, L. Conner
Did you hear the
distant cry
Calling me back to my sin
Like the one you knew before
Calling me back once again
I nearly, I nearly
lost you there
And it's taking us somewhere
I nearly lost you there
Let's try to see now
Drag me far enough
to know
I'm blind every mile that you burn
There's a rider that's fallen and
It's clear there's no time to return
I nearly, I nearly
lost you there
And it's taking us somewhere
I nearly lost you there
Let's try to see now
Did you hear the
distant lie
Calling me back to my sin
Like the one you knew before
Calling me back once again
I nearly, I nearly
lost you there
And it's taking us somewhere
I nearly lost you there
Well let's try to see now
I nearly lost you there....
DOLLAR BILL
M. Lanegan, V.
Conner
Torn like an old
dollar bill
Girl let them say what they will
That no one should hurt ya
And that's all I seem to do
That no one should desert ya
And that's all I seem to do
I gotta tell you, goodbye mama
We've taken this too far
Been trying to tell you what's going on
Trying to make it
easy on ya
Trying to make it better, make it easier on ya
It's all I came to do, It's all I came to do
Now down in the light, and I must be dreaming
Cause I see clearly, I see angels
Bringing something to me
Mother Mercy, I told a lie, I didn't need it
Good bye mama, I've taken this too far
Been gone awhile, been gone a long way
I don't want to
hurt ya, it's all I seem to do
Don't want to desert ya, it's all I seem to do
I gotta tell you, goodbye mama
I've taken this too far
Been down awhile, been down a long way
Trying to make it
easy on ya
Trying to make it better, make it easier on ya
It's all I came to do (x 3)
Torn like an old dollar bill
MORE OR LESS
V. Conner, M.
Lanegan, L. Conner
Now that we've run
this road so many times
Tonight it will not take us home
Gonna go to that deep river
Where the water's moving slow
Feels like there's nothing to explain (Nothing left here)
One more or less it's all the same
Now that it's feeling so much colder (Coming back again)
Just be glad that it's all over
Now that we've
closed our eyes so many times
Tonight I cannot see a thing
Gonna go to that deep river
Where the water's moving slow
Feels like there's nothing to explain (Nothing left here)
And now you know just who to blame
For why you're feeling so much colder (Coming back again)
Just be glad that it's all over
Gonna go to that
deep river
BUTTERFLY
L. Conner, M.
Lanegan, V. Conner
Changing memories
they fade away
The hours and the day
While in the sunshine, the sunshine bright
I kept you on my mind
Cry, cry butterfly
Heard it on the wings that you're going to die
Cry, cry butterfly
And I'm sick and I wanna go home
Up to an empty
room
Four walls around nothing to be found
Of empty promises in a lonesome town
Let me lay you down
Cry, cry butterfly
Heard it on the wings that you're going to die
Cry, cry butterfly
And I'm sick and I wanna go home
The changing
memories they fade away
The hours in the day
While in the sunshine, the sunshine bright
I kept you on my mind
Cry, cry butterfly
Heard it on the wings that you're going to die
Cry, cry butterfly
And I'm sick and I wanna go home
Cry, cry butterfly
Heard it on the wings that you're going to die
Cry, cry butterfly
And I'm sick and I wanna go home
Well I'm sick and I want to go home
That I'm sick and I want to go home
FOR
CELEBRATIONS PAST
L. Conner, M.
Lanegan, V. Conner, B. Martin
This is for
footsteps approaching the night
They keep themselves moving and do what is right
Now watch what you gather and hold in your hand
Numbers are many who misunderstand
Drink your wine
away instead
I won't remember all that's said
Say farewell and close the door
You'll find me nevermore
That I believe in
That I believe in
That I believe in you
Must be a crying shame
Tell you a story
of that which comes last
All of the sorrow that lives in the past
Now if you're tired of all that's been told
Don't be surprised that I've grown so old
Drink your wine
away instead
I won't remember all that's said
Say farewell and close the door
You'll find me nevermore
That I believe in
That I believe in
That I believe in you
Must be a crying shame
Breathing blind
shadows or dead on the vine
I'm there in the morning to take you sometimes
To watch what you gather and hold in your hand
The numbers are many who misunderstand
Drink your wine
away instead
I wont remember all that's said
Say farewell and close the door
You'll find me nevermore
That I believe in
That I believe in
That I believe in
That I believe in
That I believe in you
Must be a crying shame (x 3)
Oh yeah
Must be a crying shame (x 3)
THE SECRET KIND
L. Conner, M.
Lanegan, V. Conner, B. Martin
Lying in the quiet
darkness
Hitting high and low
Pictures shifting out of focus
Not as far to go
Eyes to the sun
One more blind
Secret kind
Yesterday is twice
removed
Tomorrow's close behind
Alone and unreliable
Windows out of time
Eyes to the sun
One more blind
Secret kind
Lying in the quiet
darkness
Hitting high and low
Pictures shifting out of focus
Not as far to go
Eyes to the sun
One more blind
Secret kind
(repeat)
WINTER SONG
L. Conner, M.
Lanegan
Jesus knocking on
my door
Late last night, and early this morning
Window glass, rusted and weary
I went straight through
And didn't hear no warning
Just a roll of the
dice, and a precious vice
To bring you 'round, it's easier
When I'm wasting my time
And I'm losing my mind
Oh my mind
Trying to wait for
the sky to fall
It's kind of hard now to see it all
Whisper a song of winter in your heart
Dead end street,
just out my back door
I heard what's seen, a young girl laughing
Now raindrops fall away like souls
I wondered if she ever heard mine dying
Just a roll of the
dice, and a precious vice
To bring you 'round, it's easier
When I'm wasting my time
And I'm losing my mind
Oh my mind
Trying to wait for
the sky to fall
It's kind of hard now to see it all
Whisper a song of winter in your heart
(repeat)
Jesus knocking on
my door
One last time, and early this morning
TROUBLED TIMES
L. Conner, M.
Lanegan, V. Conner, B. Martin
Lay it to rest,
you know my word ain't the best
This is just another question of faith
That I must take
'Til it's laid to waste
Laid to waste
I stood and I watched you weep
Until I'm gone you're sure to cry some more
I stayed, lit a cigarette
I thought we'd been here some time before
Booked and I got
to hurry
Troubled times and worry
Will turn your head away
Swear to you now I'm learning
Troubled times are turning
Turn your head away
She said that "it's five AM I think it's time for you to
go"
Got to hurry, got to get on board
And drink myself to sleep and home
Booked and I got
to hurry
Troubled times and worry
Will turn your head away
Swear to you I'm learning
Troubled times are turning
Turn your head away
Shoot me on down baby (x 4)
Booked and I got
to hurry
Troubled times and worry
Will turn your head away
Swear to you I'm learning
Troubled times are turning
Turn your head away
Booked and I got to hurry
Troubled times and worry
Will turn your head away
Swear to you I'm learning
Troubled times are turning
Turn your head away
Shoot me on down baby (X4)
Lay it to rest,
you know my love ain't the best
This is just another question of taste
That I must take
'Til it's laid to waste
NO ONE KNOWS
L. Conner, M.
Lanegan
Don't turn away,
you haven't yet awakened
Why don't you stay, remember what you said
Ten thousand miles and everyone's mistaken
Look where you've been
Where every woman's wasted
All the while you've been sleeping
Drifting on a wind never blown
Tomorrow you'll wake up aching
Wondering how,
when no one really knows
Don't speak a word, of all that you've been saving
If there isn't time then you should let it go
Into the fire and bring back all you've taken
Once more alone you'll never let it show
All the while you've been sleeping
Drifting on a wind never blown
Tomorrow you'll wake up aching
Wondering how,
when no one really knows
Now what have I do wrong
Can't you tell me what have I done wrong
Baby tell me what have I done wrong
Don't walk away,
you haven't yet awakened
Why don't you stay, remember what you said
Ten thousand miles, and everyone's mistaken
Look where you've been
Where every woman's wasted
All the while you've been sleeping
Drifting on a wind never blown
Tomorrow you'll wake up aching
Wondering how,
when no one really knows
Now what have I do wrong
Can't you tell me what have I done wrong
Baby tell me what have I done wrong
JULIE PARADISE
M. Lanegan, V.
Conner
A dog hides in the
night
No wrong or right
A dog hides from the heat
I need sugar sweet
I need some, but she
Says it's gonna ruin my mind
Something's gone wrong inside
I'm thinking
Paradise... all
that I want
And a little water
And a little water
Something's going wrong in my mind
Something's going wrong inside
I'm thinking...
Paradise
Julie your mother
cried
Sent home a bullet for the family
That's how your father died
Died a broken and lonely man
Something's going wrong in my mind
Something's going wrong inside
I'm thinking
Hey Lord keep
ahold
You don't ever know where to fall
Hey Lord keep ahold
You don't ever know where to fall
A dog hides in the
night
No wrong from right
A dog hides in the heat
I need sugar sweet
I need some, but she
Says it's gonna ruin my mind
Something's gone wrong inside
I'm thinking...
Paradise
Julie your mother
cried
Sent home a bullet for the family
That's how your father died
Died a broken and lonely man
Something's going wrong in my mind
Something's going wrong inside
I'm thinking...
Paradise...
Paradise...
Paradise...
From the Epic release 'Dust'
Halo of Ashes
She wears a halo
of ashes
Spectre on the wind
Waits on me so patiently
I no longer can pretend
Sky lies a
thousand mile below
Stars shine and the moon is clear
With nothing i can only warn
Won't you be left near here
I been a long long
time away
With one foot in the grave
Glorified in the dying of the sun
My angel pulls me
closer
As my poison she crawls thru
Walks with me so silently
I no longer can refuse
Tomorrow my
thousand miles behind
Starshine and the moon below
Wake me where you find me
Pretend you don't know
I been a long long
time away...(repeat)
She wears a halo
of ashes
Spectre on the wind
Waits on me so patiently
I no longer can pretend
Tomorrow my
thousand miles behind
Face painted in the moon below
Wake me where you find me
Pretend you don't know
I been a long long time away...(repeat 2x's)
All I Know
Bite the thorn
that pierce the skin
Come back down to earth again
The cold is creeping deep inside
You disconnect the telephone line
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Get away
Gotta get away
'fore the Lord gonna make me stay
All that i know
Shoulda been
Coulda been
Mine
I killed the last
way out of this
Persuaded by a deceitful kiss
That said you
better stay
Said you better stay
Better stay
Said you better stay
'fore it's all gone
Gone away
All that i
know...(repeat)
Bite the thorn
that pierce the skin
Come back down to earth again
The cold is creeping deep inside
You disconnect the telephone line
Gotta get away....
'fore i lose my mind
Said you better stay...
'fore it's all gone
Gone away
All that i know...(repeat)
Look at You
Her ghost hides
In my mind
In the night
In a way she's haunting me
I'm wanting her still
Thru rose colored skies
Or blue, blue moonlight
There's miracles on high
She's walking by
When i look at you
i've got a 2nd chance
Really need to have you now
One by one they fall it always breaks me down
The quiet
Cuts me thru
The candle burnt
The knife has turned
The pain withers
Alive i know deep inside
When i look at you
i've got a second chance
Really need to take it now
One by one they fall it always breaks me down
Her ghost hides
In my eyes
In the night...(repeat 1st verse)
Dying Days
All these dying
days
I walk the ghost town
Used to be my city
I seen a holy man
Seen him crying with the Mother Mary
All these dying days
Yes it's too late
This life isn't mine
Lord hear me pray
Can you ease my mind
Now they're gone forever
Jesus i done gone over
Sleeping alone you
Stay on your side
If i couldn't lie
Like all of a thousand other times
I wouldn't be on this highway
Taken on down this highway
all these dying
days...(repeat, waiting for the sunshine 2x's)
Make My Mind
Take a minute just
to breathe
Take a minute 'till i'm wide awake
And i'm searchin' once again
And the sun has left the sky
And you're on my
mind
And you're on my mind
Take a second to
believe
Just a second you won't have to wait
Don't ya turn your back on me
I couldn't look into your eyes
And i don't know
why
And i don't know why
But i'll try again
on another day
You make my mind
Just wanna leave this world behind
You make my mind (2x's)
Let the silence
creep in
(Let the silence creep in)
In the silence i'm awake all night
Just searchin' once again
(Searchin' once again)
Well could i reach you in the morning light
If i closed my
eyes
If i closed my eyes
Well you're here
right away
You make my
mind...(2x's)
You're on my mind
I'll try again on another day
And i don't know
why (2x's)
If i close my eyes (2x's)
Well you're here right away
You make my mind
Sworn and
Broken
Winter's setting
in again
And it feels
Like the end is near
Sensless sense and i'm alone
Watchin' the seconds
Passin' by
Come January i
swear this world
Won't be the one
That we once lived on
Took an oath
For a promise sworn and broken
All that's gone
Away
When Monday
morning you can't wake up
Still dreamin' of
What could've been
Something good has gone and left you
It's another tear
One won't deny
Come January i
swear this world
Won't be the one
That we once lived on
Took an oath
Another promise sworn and broken
All that's gone
All that's gone before you've changed
Well Monday
morning you don't wake up
Still dreamin' of
What could've been
Something good has gone and left you
It's another tear
One more denial
Come January i
swear this world
Won't be the one
That we once lived on
Took an oath
Another promise sworn and broken
All that's gone
All that's gone before
All that's gone before
Has changed
Witness
It's taken
everything
Everything i got and it's hung me on the line
Water rising up over me
And i think i'm gonna die
Think i'm gonna die
I told a lie
That's what i said
I told the one you know i'll always keep
Whose God is mine (3x's)
Whose God is
The one with the witness
Shine your lonely
light on me
I'll be there to hold the mirror
I can take you down with me
Show you lonely, lonely, lonely
Death wastes no
time it seems
And it's hung me on the line
Hung me on the line
Hard rain fallin' all over me
And i think i'm gonna die
Think i'm gonna die
I told a lie
That's what i said
I told the one you know i'll always keep
Whose God is mine (3x's)
Whose God is
The one with the witness
Shine.......
Traveler
It's a broken
morning outside
Go easy on my mind
'cuz you're this dream i'm hangin' on
And i'm tryin' to meet the dawn
And the longest
way i traveled
From the darkness to the light
Lord it's been a million miles
In these prisons i can't abide
I'm half way here,
i'm half way there (repeat)
All along i've been the traveler, yeah
Forever outta time
Forever just unwinds
I see the green beyond the blue
And i'm tryin' to make it thru
And the longest
way i traveled
From the darkness to the light
Lord it seems a million miles
All my brothers
I can't unbind
I'm half way here,
i'm half way there (repeat)
Oh Lord i been the traveler, yeah
It's why the world
is cold
Go easy on my soul
'cuz you're this dream i'm hangin' on (same as first)
I'm half way here,
i'm half way there (repeat 2x's)
All along i been the traveler, yeah
Dime Western
Born to work under
the way your velvet lies
Smoke unfolding hazy in the sky
Arise
I've been where
you never been
I've seen what you've never seen
I've dreamed what you've never dreamed
I've left what you'd never leave
But now i can only find one way
Take me higher
Rays of shattered
light to bleed my eyes
The spark has burned away until i'm blind
Inside
I've seen what
you've never seen
I've been where you never been
I've dreamed what you've never dreamed
I've left what you'd never leave
But now i can only find one way
Take me higher
There's only your
reflection left to hide
Once you know the aim i call you is
Still mine
I've seen what
you've never seen
I've been where you never been
I've left what you'd never leave
I've dreamed what you've never dreamed
But now i can...(repeat 2x's)
Take me higher(3x's)
Gospel Plow
If you wanna get
to heaven let me tell you how
Keep your hand on the gospel plow
Hold on(3x's)
Mary had a golden chain
Every link spelled Jesus' name
Hold on(3x's)
Mary had a golden chain
Hold on
If you wanna get To heaven let me tell you how
Keep your hand on the gospel plow
Wakin' up without
you now i'm on my own
Comin' down the sky burns into my soul
And i wanna know that you're mine
I gotta know you're mine
Come on back
tomorrow said you'll be all right
I'll never find the way now to kill the time
And i wanna know
what's in your mind
I gotta know you're mine
And i fell alone
And my dreams are torn
You're not at all
Not at all
Not at all
Who you say you are
Gotta know
Gotta know
Gotta know where
You're going
Wakin' up without you girl...(same as first time)
And i fell alone...(same)
