Leave Him Alone 02:58
lyrics
buy track
She tries to shut him up in a shoebox in a drawer in the hall So that the only trace is an empty space And the hole where he hung on the wall She says that he doesn’t upset her I find it hard to believe Whenever he comes up she closes down She says that she just wants to leave Leave him alone Leave him alone Leave him alone Leave him alone Last night I heard her talking at 3 AM asleep in my arms I heard her mutter his name like a sad refrain To the years that only faded the harm I thought how she had to watch as he slipped into an endless sleep She buried him down But he’s still around in her head and she just can’t leave Leave him alone Leave him alone Leave him alone Leave him alone I wish I could just forget him let him dim like a dying day In the glare of the light nothing looks right All the colors here are turning to gray I’m digging him out of his box, looking at the man before me He’s a shadow he’s a ghost he’s the one she loves most And I try but I just can’t leave

Baby's A Big Girl Now 03:35
lyrics
buy track
She’s just a trick candle Burning for all of the men Watch how she’s able To heat up again and again She wears her smile like Soldiers wear a scar Fine as a shadow Cut from the wing of a moth Don’t touch her she’s fragile There she goes fluttering off She’ll find the brightest Bulb in this faded town Fly around Fly around Fly around Oh no one’s gonna bring her down Cause tonight She’ll do what she likes Baby’s a big girl now Everybody knows ribbons and bows Don’t tie her down now She’s gone long gone I’m still hanging around If you’re able to catch her Boy you better hold on She floats like a feather One puff of wind and she’s gone She’s fly around this faded neon town Fly around Fly around Oh no one’s gonna bring her down ‘cause Baby’s a big girl Baby’s a big girl Baby’s a big girl Baby’s a big girl now

Old Habits 02:39
lyrics
buy track
Take a drink and stagger, stagger here to me Your cup is filled up once again though the bar’s almost empty If you fall I’ll catch you I’ve always played that part Old habits are so hard to break and tonight’s no time to start Take a drink to dreams made strong by the number of their days May you never compromise, may your passions never fade For he who perseveres will win his due reward That’s something I do believe or at least it’s what I’ve heard Everyone wants to shine just like the sun Nobody wants to play by the rules Little boy lost, with dreams he should have tossed Playing the fool, playing the fool Take a drink and raise your glass to a life that’s bittersweet What goes up in time comes down, success comes with defeat But I try not to think too much, each man does what he must do And if he can’t change circumstance he’s gotta change his point of view Take a drink and listen to the wind out on the street It sounds like the shuffling of a thousand restless feet I do confess I’ve considered moving on My body might be able, it’s my heart that’s not so strong
