The sun's been coming up on me
Shining down in tender mockery
And your sweet waltz
Give out your dance
Has left me here
Without a chance
Electric
Clear blue Memphis sky
F Sharp minor
Because it makes you cry
And you smile down
Almost sweet
When I called you the apple
Of my eye
I'm giving you one thousand golden rings
Baked into a blackbird pie
Electric
Clear blue Memphis sky
F Sharp minor
Because it makes you cry

Imagining it

She says she's the girl with her heart
That always flies backwards
I said I don't mind I'm the forgetting kind
She says she's all through with heaven, tattoos, and parades
I said I was to
Their making me blue anyway
It's not in your head
Sit still, you won't get bit
Be here till its said
You're not imaging it
It's the way that it goes when that crazy wind blows
Come on my Molly
Do this one with me
Dance beneath ember chandeliers
We'll twist and we'll spin and
Molly you'll swoon
A roll in the clover
A kiss when it's over
And gone
By the light of the moon
It's not in your head
Sit still, you won't get bit
Be here till its said
You're not imaging it
It's the way that it goes when that crazy wind blows

The Long Goodbye
03:53

It was a broken heart
That you wanted to
Jumpstart
It was a sunken dream
Floating backwards
In between
It was a long goodbye
In the middle of the night
It was a long goodbye
In the middle of the night
How could I know that I would miss you
Miss you and
Spilling up to the sky
A firecracker in your hands
I did not even know
We were coming to the end
So, it was a long goodbye
In the middle of the night
It was a long goodbye
In the middle of the night
How could I know that I would miss you
Miss you and

Dust (For Chris Whitley)

From Houston, NYC,
To New Orleans
And Brussels
Which one
Had the better drugs
Told you the earth was flat
They couldn't pay you enough to
Believe that
And up, on the horizon
Does that sun set there as well?
Is it cold, dark, and empty or
Is the silence,
Beautiful
From above
Copenhagen is coming copper green
Think about your Belgian girl
Told you the earth was flat
They couldn't pay you enough to
Believe that
And up, on the horizon
Does that sun set there as well?
Is it cold, dark, and empty or
Is the silence,
Beautiful

Race Car Gasoline
04:34

|
As I was walking
Past her house
It's like walking through her dreams
Makes me wonder what she's seen
She's polishing machines
In her front yard
If you be my gasoline
I'll be your race car
Be my gasoline
As I was walking
Past her house
It's like walking through her dreams
Makes me wonder what she's seen
She's polishing machines
In her front yard
If you be my gasoline
I'll be your race car
Be my gasoline

Got so much time
Got my fever
Got my head
The radio receiver
Where's the source
Don't believe her
Got my bit, my bridle and my reins
Like a horse
You now can ride
Like a darkness
Sailing beside
Got no thing
to hide
Like the ocean
Now, I'm wide
Wide
And now you don't have to come on
I go down
But I don't know which side
Like a horse
Want you to ride me
Like the ocean
I'm wide
Wide
Got my change
Got my fever
Got my head
Like a radio receiver
Where's the source
Don't know if I believe her
Like a horse
Ride me till I
See her
Beside me
There's no darkness
In the light to hide
Go to the ocean
Now, it might remind me
I just want it
Want it to be
Wide
Wide

Bonjour jeff ! I received my Dick CD well today (France), thank you for that :-) It was the only Idaho LP missing on my shelves. I wish I could see you onstage one day or another but I never heard about an Idaho gig less than 3h drive from my home ; but it's okay, I feed on your records since the very beginning, I was a student, now I'm 52. Take care, C
