darling baby doll
couldn’t wait that long
summer’s come and gone
and we’re still here
better than we thought
better loved and lost
maybe we both lost our minds
and other things
no wind, lovely as ever
those trees, naked is better
what a waste, we both tried to save our own disgraces
well i’m done now i don’t care
sad as we both are
i hope you go far
hope you find a man
treats you better than i did
at least we both tried
two kids found inside each others arms and though it's
a while before we die
my arms are tired from the weight
sleeping, hair lost in the sheets
broken fingers and bodies
drunken youth, patience is awful
i can't wait for you there
so i'm done now i don't care
darling baby doll
couldn’t wait that long
winter’s come and gone
and i'm still here

treat you right

i’ve smoked my share of guilt
that's not enough for a liar
lost friends, they never bothered me
and if they did, i’m too tired
i’m a go-getter, i’m a broken heap
i’m a fake-grinner and a worthless cheat
i’m a bum, i’m a cancer that can’t be treated
i’ma find a way to treat you right
you’re golden as the sun
that’s burned this back of mine
and if you give me a chance
i’d let you burn me all the time
i’m a go-getter, i’m a broken heap
i’m a fake-grinner and a worthless cheat
i’m a bum, i’m a cancer that can’t be treated
i’ma find a way to treat you right
stop me, this path i know i’ve walked before
save me, it's times like these i know that this is what love is for
i’m a go-getter, i’m a broken heap
i’m a fake-grinner and a worthless cheat
i’m a bum, i’m a cancer that can’t be treated
i’ma find a way to treat you right
i’m a coward, i’m one helluva time
i’m a grave digger but i only work on mine
i’m a fuck, i’m a goon, i’m a helpless boy
i’ma find a way to treat you right

lucy come home to me
the nights are not warm without you
our room is a mess, and that
polka dot dress, it kills
lucy i swear i love you
it's drinking that makes me so hurtful
i promise to be
a man who will please you, dear
remember, my darling
those summers in brooklyn
the warmth of the sun on our lips
we danced in our khakis
and laughed at the Mackies
with my arms wrapped around your hips
lucy we've loved for too long
for me to end this alive
i'd rather be dead if you
weren't in my bed, my lover
remember, my darling
that autumn in brooklyn
the leaves took their time to change
i spilled wine on your new shoes
as i told you i loved you
and we laughed till the morn did the same

rocking chair

send my body down the river
with my baby close behind
all i promised her was loving
seems we just ran out of time
hold my head up by the oak tree
with my baby close behind
winters coming like the devil
seek thy heart and thee will find
darling death your hands are warm with peace.
lovers to the end of every street
like that rocking chair i made her
summer's come and gone at last
breathe, now, deep, my golden blossom
we can lay her down to rest
curl up close to me, victoria
use my body as a shield
as we float on down the river
i'm as dead as i am real
curl up close to me victoria,
use my body as a shield
as we float on down the river
i'm as dead as i am real
darling death your hands are warm with peace.
lovers to the end of every street

i could tell you that i want to know
ask you what you think of getting old
whisper close if i could hold your hand
but i don’t think that i can be your man
i don’t think that i can be your man
something about the way your eyes meet mine
makes me want to feel it all the time
better sit down i can hardly stand
but i don’t think that i can be your man
i don’t think that i can be your man
i hope you will not think less of me
if you knew my sins you would agree
you’re too pretty to be making plans
so i don’t think that i can be your man
i don’t think that i can be your man
little rabbit, won’t you lay with me?
let’s pretend the night is ours only
there is nothing you’re less lovely than
but i don’t think that i can be your man
i don’t think that i can be your man
i don’t think that i can be your man
