hush pretty darlin

where are the boats
for the women and the children
who sink away so slowly
on the edge of the wave
they've gone every one 
to the sailor and the captain who
would not risk their lives
for the chance to be brave

oh sailor boy, sailor boy
when's my bride, when's she return to shore
i have waited such a long time here
and i can't wait here anymore

and what of the men
there's no sign of bone or uniform
the sturdy young boys who lost their
lungs to the sea
they've been over run
pretty mermaids just havin some fun
but a siren's the one
stole my true love from me

oh sailor boy, sailor boy
when's my bride, when's she return to shore
i have waited such a long time here
and i can't wait here anymore

and should ever the day come
when that lonely young siren
returns to her perch at the depths of the brine
you'll take all you came with
and some that you've gotten fresh
but i'll have you know you'll take nothin of mine

oh sailor boy, sailor boy
when's my bride, when's she return to shore
i have waited such a long time here,
and i can't wait here anymore
it's been so long since i've seen her
so long since i've felt her
so long since i've kissed her
so long since i've held her

oh sailor boy, sailor boy
when's my bride return to shore
i've waited such a long time here
and i can't wait here anymore

sailor boy

feat. dan trimble (guitar)

back seat bourbon and mississippi car tags
left a mile behind, the pied piper cut her real bad
now she sleeps with a crescent moon stuck between her eyelids
but she keeps a tornado tucked quiet in her pocket, oh

she lives in her head and she don't control her movements
she ain't afraid of nothin but the burden of contentment
she'd throw it all away sooner than she'd ever lose it
and if she had a heart the devil never let her use it, oh

she was only doin what she thought that she oughta
met him up late in the center of the garden
now there's too many holes and she's takin on water
she's runnin quick out of the charm that she barters, oh

bourbon

so you're stuck here with the curse that fell upon you
and the pity for the self you know so well
it's not a problem til it is your problem
and everybody else can go to hell

taking one last bitter look over your shoulder
fore you leave your home and feed into your fears
but i had fortune to be born a sailor
and love i haven't seen the shore in years

so if you're leavin, kick that motor over
and i don't wanna see you once you're gone
cause i don't got a single use for drifters
unless they're huntin down that western sun

when i was young
i made my life building chairs beside my father
now i can't even bathe without getting drunk

i can relieve you of your demons
but i will never feel your warmth

but i can turn water into wine
and i would do it all the time
if i ever thought that it would bring you home to me

i'll never raise a son
and i'll never know a family
my wisdom and my death are all that's left

i can send you straight to heaven
but i will never wake beside you

but i can turn water into wine
and i would do it all the time
if i ever thought that it would bring you home

i can't wait (star&micey cover)

it took me two hours to learn the words to the first verse well enough to record this.
i'll record the rest of it. someday.

don't kill my vibe (verse 2)

Sia -- Chandelier

always get what you want
gun inside yer pocket
always keep yer mouth shut
don't lock eyes with no one

yer presence overwhelming
goddamn if you ain't knowin
you and all yer army
just talk of drugs and glory

reclaim yer vulture
hit me with its sting
locked in yer sepulchre
cut of both my wings

i don't wanna sleep
i don't wanna sleep without ya
i don't wanna sleep here by myself no more

for little grace (on january 15, 1936)

did you feel lied to
when i said i love you

i swear that i did

i used to be alive (&when i was, i loved you)

woke up early this morning
and i said to myself
