Like the Smoke

--Like the Smoke---
Got this feeling like a hollow tree
Calling out for you to answer me
Seasons changing/ I stay the same
Picking pockets of the rain
Got this feeling like you’re somewhere near
Fog is lifting but you don’t appear
Still the wanting/ that can’t be tamed
I can feel the lines around your frame
I’m a longing/ half a hope
Searching for a promise not yet wrote
When I build a fire/ I go for broke
Maybe I just like the smoke
Got this feeling like it’s all on me
Something ‘bout me it just don’t agree
Windows open/ cool night breeze
Is that you coming through the trees
I’m a longing/ half a hope
Searching for a promise not yet wrote
When I build a fire/ I go for broke
Maybe I just like the smoke

When You

--When You--
It’s getting dark in the middle of the day/ storm is rolling
Light the candles on the mantle-place/ until it’s glowing
Watching the roads through the window pane/ they’re all flooding
If you make it over you can come on in/ but are you staying
When you
When you come out the sun comes too
When you
When you come out the sun comes too
You know I want to be the trusting kind/ and loving
Is the flash of your smile a flash in the pan/ like I’ve been learning
What’s the point of being scared of fate/ when she’s pushing
But I’ve been wrong so many times of late/ is there no end
When you
When you come out the sun comes too
When you
When you come out the sun comes too
Walking around to get nowhere/ we’re stalling
Turn that hour into two/ until life’s calling
Turn the two weeks into three/ I should be going
But this feeling to my bones won’t let me be/ is it showing
That when you
When you come out the sun comes too
When you
When you come out the sun comes too

Call on Someone

--Call on Someone--
So you made it/ back into town
And you’re hoping you’ll see me around
All our friends say/ you’ve been taking it hard
Acting like you were moved by the stars
You better call on someone
You better call on someone
You better call on someone
But honey not me
You say you’re hurting/ from losing a friend
Is that all I was to you in the end
All or nothing/ is it too much to ask
When I’ve spent so much time begging for your scraps
You better call on someone
You better call on someone
You better call on someone
But honey not me
I’ve seen you down/ but never this low
Change is moving/ it’s moving too slow
You know it can’t be/ my job to save
You from living the choices you made
You better call on someone
You better call on someone
You better call on someone
But honey not me

In the Wake

--In the Wake--
Going under/ just to catch my breath
I know it’s only daydreams/ I’ll take what I can get
One more dance/ then try to forget
Our arms around each other/ this hammer in my chest
You’ve got something I can’t shake/ I can’t shake
Waves that leave me in the wake/ in the wake
Every time I walk away
The memory stays
Sitting her beside you/ I wonder do they see
I know every distance/ between you and me
Moon that pulls the waters/ does it even know
Or am I just the background/ steady as she goes
You’ve got something I can’t shake/ I can’t shake
Waves that leave me in the wake/ in the wake
Every time I walk away
The memory stays
It’s night across the city/ can I walk you home
All your little nothings/ like ripples from a stone
It doesn’t make me crazy/ doesn’t make me sad
That I’d rather be here longing/ for what I’ll never have
You’ve got something I can’t shake/ I can’t shake
Waves that leave me in the wake/ in the wake
Every time I walk away
The memory stays

Fool of Me

--Fool of Me--
Say that line over your shoulder/ you think that I don’t hear
Go and ask your loaded question/ i’ll make my answer clear
I see it in your eyes/ oh you poor sad dear
Well he’s got a brand new Baby/ and you just linger here
Crying, crying’s just a tease
All it does/ is make a fool of me
Catch me just in passing / I guess I’m doing fine
Why are people always asking/ when they just want their lines
Build that wall a little higher/ I know what’s behind
Thinking that I’m crazy/ I’d trade a dozen for that dime
Crying, crying’s just a tease
All it does/ is make a fool of me

Nothing Like New Orleans

--Nothing Like New Orleans--
Sky it goes on endlessly
Grey days to come and go with me
Try to shake this feeling that I’m nothing
And it’s nothing like New Orleans
Need a friend to call my own
Reaching through the telephone
Call you just to hear you saying nothing
And it’s nothing like New Orleans
It’s nothing here like New Orleans
The heat the bends the live oak trees
To kiss the ground/ made for dancing on
Mississippi where’d you go
I’m up here in the sleet and snow
Trying to be someone I don’t know
It’s nothing/ It’s nothing/
It’s nothing like New Orleans
Driving out at dawn it seems
Must be something wrong with me
Beauty everywhere/ but I feel nothing
And it’s nothing like New Orleans
Not long ago it seemed that we
Were wrapped in serendipity
Now look into the future/ you see nothing
It’s nothing here like New Orleans
The heat the bends the live oak trees
To kiss the ground/ made for dancing on
Mississippi where’d you go
I’m up here in the sleet and snow
Trying to be someone I don’t know
It’s nothing/ It’s nothing/
It’s nothing like New Orleans

Always

--Always--
I’ve been wandering round this world
Looking for always/ is there always
Found the moon/ I asked her soon
Will it be that day/ we start always
Think I dreamed of you
Woke and found it true
So if you don’t mind
Let’s pass some time
Driving home you take my hand
Like you do always/ always
Such a little thing to keep
But hold on always/ always
I looked that time
Knew you were mine
I’d live that day
A hundred times
Spinning time/ future lines
They meet on this day/ always
Take a leep a thousand feet
Beleving always/ always
Lean into you
Like lovers do
Was it in stone
Or did we choose
I’ve been wandering round this world
Looking for always/ is there always

-- By the Glassful--
Hello Mississippi you’ve been on my mind
You know I sure do miss those good time friends of mine
Sit around the fire and watch the ashes blow downtown
The bar is full of people/ they’re all having fun
Sometimes nights like this they make me wanna run
So we just stand outside laughing/ ‘till this show gets done
Time build a capsule
Of the way things used to be
Drink it by the glassful
When you’re lost in memory
When you’re lost in memory
We should out dancing/ two step on the town
Tell me what we’re drinking/ I will buy the round
Oh those country boys can sure get cruel/ but they’ll never keep us down
There’s a record playing/ sunsets turning too
And that front porch seat is waiting just for you
Won’t you come and sit awhile/ until these blues are through
Time build a capsule
Of the way things used to be
Drink it by the glassful
When you’re lost in memory
When you’re lost in memory

On the Line

--On the Line--
To you it’s just another day
Buried in the things you can not say
But if you want the best for me
Can’t you see it’s time to set me free
On the Line, On the Line
You just keep on pulling that string all the time
On the Line, On the Line
To know I’m yours but you’re not really mine
Run into you on the town
Should have known that I would see you round
Six months out and back to start
Feeling like my whole world’s come apart
On the Line, On the Line
You just keep on pulling that string all the time
On the Line, On the Line
To know I’m yours but you’re not really mine
Why’d you even come back here
Making everything a lot less clear
Not until you’re gone I see
That I was hoping you’d come back for me
On the Line, On the Line
You just keep on pulling that string all the time
On the Line, On the Line
To know I’m yours but you’re not really mine
To know I’m yours and you were never mine

-- Better Run--
Every pictures got a heavy frame/ for bad or good
In a flash I’m up there with the past/ all in encased in wood
Hello first/ this is the last
When you bring your future to meet your past
You old ghosts better run
You old ghosts better run
Lesson learned/ your time is done
You old ghosts better run
From the Blue Ridge to Pontchartrain/ we’ve rolled those dice
Made mistakes/ played the fool ‘till much too late/ learned to love you right
Hello first/ this is the last
When you bring your future to meet your past
You old ghosts better run
You old ghosts better run
Lesson learned/ your time is done
You old ghosts better run
Don’t you worry ‘bout the might have beens/ don’t believe the talk
If the floor creaks from someone else's feet/ tell ‘em take a walk
Hello first/ this is the last
When you bring your future to meet your past
You old ghosts better run
You old ghosts better run
Lesson learned/ your time is done
You old ghosts better run

A beautiful album. Sounds like it was made in the sixties. It's got rock 'n roll and romance and everything in between. I had a hard time picking my favorite track -Friend or Foe, Jump Down Baby, The Key, because there are so many great tracks on this album.
