i was walking down the street from my friend's house one day
when i saw what must have been a goddess coming my way
she had these big green eyes and Sublime t-shirt on
her long red hair was all tied up in a bun

i said to myself, man don't be a fool and just let this girl walk by
maybe she will, maybe she won't, but you'll never know if you don't try

so i said excuse me but i need to know your name
i'm Tim and i think we were meant to meet today
i know that we might be walking opposite ways
but i'm not one to mistake coincidence and fate

i'd like to take a walk in your garden
and maybe see what we could grow
i'd like to talk to you for hours
about everything you want to know
i think my heart might break right open
if you just turn and walk away
i swear i won't try anything funny
but i digress i must confess 
that is unless you wanna let me

she said okay i guess that we could spend the day
and by the way you should know my name it's allie
we walked together singing songs by the shoreline
that must have been the best day of my whole life

but then i woke up

i woke to find she was a figment of a dream
i was so sad that i could hardly see
sure hope i do meet my sweet allie some day
at least til then i've got my guitar to play

someday i'll take a walk in that garden
someday i'll come in from the cold
because i know she's out there waiting for me
don't want to leave her all alone
because i know this premonition
was surely more than just a dream
until that day i will keep searching
until i find my sweet allie

Allie

the summer's gone
lines are drawn
it's time to go

the sun is gone
skies are grey
bring on the snow

it was a good time
but the party's over
stale smoke, cheap wine
but now we're sober

don't go
don't go
i heard myself say

i hate the snow 
i hate the cold
but summer won't stay

leaves fell from the trees
and now they're dying
they could have held on
but they weren't trying

and on the forth of july
we were the fireworks baby
and i know that it was right
least for that night

but now you've gone
so far away
this tattered scarf
all that remains

it was a good time
but the party's over
stale smoke, cheap wine
but now we're sober

Snow

"Arlene"

we stood on the edge of reason
just to see what lies below
throwing coins into the chasm
wishing to find a little hope

but the ground started trembling
the earth crumbled under our feet
and we fell to the darkness
where no signs of light could be seen

Arlene, Arlene, Arlene
where have you gone?

when i wake from this cold slumber
i'll burn this whole city to the ground
save for one small corner
where i know my baby can be found

as the ashes settle
i'll know that my work here is done
with the land to the earth
we're all back together as one

Arlene, Arlene, Arlene
where have you gone?

another one like me

darlin' you and i could be 
the greatest in history
and when i go conquer this world
i want you right there beside me

Hey, Ms. Carter

she is the trade wind
that blows the storm away
she is the sunshine
waking me up everyday

she's on a mission
driving down the road
no longer will we
have to face this life alone

my baby she's coming home

nothing can stop me 
with my love by my side
she gives me her heart
so i gave her mine

and those sweet kisses 
they get me so high
so come home baby
come make this soul shine

my baby she's coming home

Coming Home

sometimes i worry,
you'll be the death of me,
my darlin' can't you see,
the way we used to be?

and i hate to say sometimes,
i feel so dead inside,
but when i see you smile, 
it brings me back to life

sometimes

and i hate to admit,
i still think of you today,
but darlin just because,
i fear you dont do the same,

and you know i wish i could,
change the way things are,
sometimes i think i would,
if you would let me try

if only

sometimes,
i think i'm paranoid,
sometimes,
i'm just so paranoid,

that devils advocate,
that i keep playin,
really burns me,
right down to my core.

i miss you like the leaves,
in autumn miss the trees,
girl i miss you like,
lost you a thousand times,

you know it breaks my heart,
every time we say goodbye,
feels like i'm waitin' on some train,
never gonna arrive

sometimes

i cant help but wonder,
what you think,
my darling, what you think,
somtimes, i feel like the biggest fool,
often when,
when myself is showing.

most of the time i find,
i don't like sometimes,
got you stuck on my mind,
girl you're stuck right on my mind

i feel like such a fool,
to waste the chance i had,
it's not enough to love someone,
when you don't love yourself

sometimes

i tell myself i'm blind,
and i, tell myself i'm fine,
as i'm dustin off that same old pair of walking shoes
to take myself, right down the line

Sometimes

i've been laboring for so long,
i've worked my hands to the bone,
the only reward for all my trouble's,
been a hard day's night alone

girl you better make up your mind,
you better hop on the boat,
while you still can,
i got no time for 
fair weather friends, 
and all these rain clouds 
just mean wind for my sails

i wouldn't call myself heart-broken,
but i'm feelin just a little foul,
the prospect of gettin you off my mind's,
got me bouncin' round the walls in my house

so i grab my coat
and i head out for
a night on the town
but it's the same old crowd
so i give a quick wave
and its time to bail out

travelin back to the pad i discover
got no light fo my cigarette
askin every person who passes by 
i finally managed to find a match

as i light my square
i realize
that i made a new friend
here we go again
but then again
then again

wake up the next morning
and i'm surpried to feel so refreshed
sentimental sides got me feelin down
but pride kills the pain in my chest

i can't sit and wait,
inside of your back pocket no more
and if this persists prudence insists
that i head for the door

girl you better make up your mind,
you better hop on the boat,
while you still can,
i got no time for 
fair weather friends, 
and all these rain clouds 
just mean wind for my sails

girl you better make up your mind
you better make up your mind
your better make up your mind
girl you better decide
you better make up your mind
you better make up your mind

"REVOLUTION"
sittin' on the couch in my dad's living room
it'll be my bed for the next month or two
thinkin' 'bout a lady and how i'm makin' myself a fool
up all night writin' songs like there's somethin' to prove

one day my lyric book it's gonna write back to me
believe it honey cause it's gonna be qute the sight to see
under my pillow it'll hide after i fall asleep
waitin' til the morning when my new song it'll sing

it goes don't tell no lies and live life for yourself
put your weapons and armor back upon the shelf 
take a minute to breathe in the sweet summer air
remember how lucky you are just to be here

relax and dont forget that this joke is your life
and all good vibrations come in a matter of time
try not to get so tightly wrapped up in the math
the universal balance it'll take care of that

dont speak
not before you think it over
just breathe
reaction walks hand in hand with anger

cause people are always gonna try to pull you 10 different ways
but you've got to blaze your own trail at the end of the day
someone's always gonna think youre wrong no matter what words you say
so just keep on higher ground cause no one knows anything

and oh the foolish things we say when love creeps up in the mind
and things they never really fall into our little designs
my advice is be careful for that which you wish
because opinions, they often change with the wind

and when youre playin with the heart there's no such thing as safe bets
'cause when there's two to please there's usually one who ends up upset
so look forward live free and love without regret
cause the best loving comes when you dont even think about it

so smile 
and remember that live is beautiful
just relax
don't take this so seriously

but don't you ever let yourself lose sight of your dreams 
cause if you leave the house you'd be surprised at what you'll achieve
take it ones step at a time and hold this promise to me
don't you ever let them shackles get chained on your feet

'cause people come and go more often than a subway train 
so don't bother chasin' people it'll drive you insane
cause in this life there's just some things that we'll never change
and if you focus too much on details big picture can't be seen

don't stop
life's a jouney not a destination
look around
sometimes your worst enemy is hesitation

if youre walkin through the forest might as well climb a tree
cause its a beautiful view from up in the canopy
dont forget to take a look at where you might need to be
and remember that any thought can be entrusted to me

when i woke that morning my life forever changed
when my lyric book up and decided 
to let me know that it could sing
imagine all the fascinating things it would say
bust out from under my pillow and starts to enlighten me

one day my lyric book, it's gonna write back to me
believe it honey, cause its gonna be quite the sight to see
we'll start a revolution on that glorious day
and all my little problems are just gonna fade away

here i stand 
back where i began
walkin down an empty road
travellin westward 
as fast as i can
cause these midwest winters are gettin mighty cold

old sheriff watson, 
he wants me dead
caught me with his daughter 
in his wife's bed
and even though i love her
i had to go
cause a shallow grave's no kind of place to call home

and i'm still searching 
for that promised land
cause life gets lonely 
as a ramblin man
where i'll end up 
i just don't know
i'm searchin for someplace that's still got some soul

been through the cities
down the country roads
still can't find that place
where i belong

a place where the road rises up to meet me
a place where living and love come free

and i'm still searchin 
for that promised land
but life gets lonely 
as a ramblin man
where i'll end up
i just dont know
i'm searchin for somplace that's still got some soul

Promised Land

i can hear my neighbors fighting 
in that apartment downstairs
they're always going at it
and they don't fight fair

i can't sleep, i can't even eat 
without hearing them screaming 
they fight and carry on so passionately
i'll bet they used to love that way

and i'll bet there was a time when
everything was great
but i heard her fucking another man
while he was out today

perhaps they married too young
before they knew what love really was 
or what love really does

perhaps the fire burned out 
leaving only 
the smolders of resent

i still hear my neighbors fighting
in the apartment downstairs
they just wont stop with the screaming
and its getting hard to bear

i wish that there was something
i could say or do 
to resolve their dispute

maybe then they could be happy
and i might finally 
get some sleep
