The heat's all gone
the oil is gone
I tapped the tank
and it rang all night
two more months 
of winter still to go

The waters cold
in my childrens bath,
Water is cold
in my childrens bath.
Oh how they cry
when I try and dry
them off

I work all day in a factory mill
where the heat comes in waves
and I have seen it kill

and I come home
to a cold, cold
home.

hang those quilts
your mother made for you
hang them over that
window sill
oh how your father kept
his family warm

I never felt so cold.

The oil's gone
the heat is gone
I tapped the tank
and it rang all night
two more months 
of winter still to go

More Sincere By The Day

It's a long wait for a train,
where I'll sit and I'll think 
how you sang my name.
Gone are the days,
of our simple ways
and holding you so near.

It's a cold seat where I sit
and my heart it wants me to quit.
But I think I'll be fine
with this bottle of wine
and this long wait for a train.

These tracks, they never do meet.
A perfect distance, they seem to keep.
They just go along
like nothing is wrong
until one day they just fade

It's a sad sight to behold
your lover's smile slowly grow cold
but I hope I'll be fine 
with a bottle of wine
and a long wait for a train.

This ticket I have in my coat.
It's the closest I'll get to a note.
My words made the right line,
just not in time
Now I believe they'll never 
arrive

How I want to stay by your side,
but my heart was slowly denied.
But I think I'll be fine,
with this bottle of wine
and a long wait for a train.

Long Wait For A Train

The Seventh Revelation

I wrote this when I lived in Boston (2005). I re sampled and reprocessed  my beloved Casio SK-1.  Listening back, the song has a slow start. I was kind of poking fun at the 808 kids.
