The Devil Makes Five
02:22

I’m gonna drink until the keg runs dry
Then I’ll fill my bottle with the tears in my eyes
The tears in my eyes & the pain in my heart
Cause I love somebody and it’s tearing me apart
One for the money and two for the show
Hey bartender won’t you let that liquor flow
Three for the girl that’ll never be mine
Four to be forgiven & the devil makes five
Cigarettes, Whiskey & Barroom Light
I’ve been drunk over half my life
Half my life on an old barstool
Wishing she didn’t have to be so cruel
One for the money and two for the show
Hey bartender won’t you let that liquor flow
Three for the girl that’ll never be mine
Four to be forgiven & the devil makes five
One for the criminal one for the crime
One for the devil you can keep the lime
One for the singer and one for the song
One for the girl I’m counting on
Rum you’re the very best friend I got
No matter what I do I can have another shot
If I had another shot I could make it okay
It’s a shame that love don’t work that way
One for the money and two for the show
Hey bartender won’t you let that liquor flow
Three for the girl that’ll never be mine
Four to be forgiven & the devil makes five

Varadero Wind
02:42
|

|
We stepped down off the plane
Her ahead of me
Took the Via Blanca Highway
To a resort by the sea
She rolled down her window
and the truth came rushing in
But I held to love’s illusion
In the Varadero Wind
She looked across the waves
Never back at me
We were floating like that swordfish
In The Old Man & The Sea
Love is revolution
A battle to the end
I didn’t know what I was fighting for
In the Varadero Wind
The bus to Havana left
We stayed in our hotel
And that night the wind
Blew everything to hell
Now I’ve found another island
A better one for me
The winds are free & strong
Beside a deeper darker sea
Letting go was painful
When I opened up my hand
But I got more than I gave away
In the Varadero Wind

The Chain in Between
03:14
|
|||

You said your heart was a graveyard
It was a real dead end
A place to bury old lovers
And remember old friends
You wanted Love everlasting
What did you really need?
To skip the living or the dying
Or just the pain in between?
You were young & you were searching
You were relatively free
You took confusion for your compass
You followed it away from me
You wanted Love to be an ocean
What did you really need?
Was it a ship or an anchor
Or just the chain in between?
You don’t have to say you’re sorry
For any little scratch you made
You wanted Love to be a razor
You never even held the blade
Because when somebody cuts me
I need it to bleed
I need my heart with my mind babe
I need the vein in between

Forgive Me
02:11
|
|||
|
My heart has traveled twenty million miles
Proved itself through many bitter trials
Through tears & rage, betrayals & denials
But all my wounds are mended
In the shadow of your smile
So forgive me if I need you like a newborn needs a name
If I have to stand beside you like an old man with a cane
And if I love you till the mountains fall & only dust remains
And if I find you in the afterlife & love you there again
The melodies of guilt are low & strong
How could I sing of love when the key was wrong?
The music of my soul was nearly gone
But you’re my secret chord, babe
You’re the chorus to my song
So forgive me f I need you like a pendant needs a chain
If I flood your ears with music like a river in the rain
And if I love you till the sun burns out and nothing more remains
And if I find you in the afterlife & love you there again
I’m so sorry
Please forgive me
I’ve searched the Universe for you
So forgive me if I need you like a verse needs a refrain
If I wrote this pretty song for you & didn’t say your name
And if I love you when the song ends in the silence that remains
And if I find you in the afterlife & sing for you again

Lover's Tree
03:10
|
|||
|
The morning sky is paper thin
I’ll let you sleep & try to fill the colours in
A brush of blue, some grey & gold
Once I’m sure the paint will hold
I’ll wake you
You are my silver dream
My starry night, my golden mean
You are the blade in my lover’s tree
And your name is carved in me
I’ll sit & watch the colours run
You can do your hair & put your makeup on
My lonely grey & empty blue
Catch the light that shines from you
And radiate
You are my silver dream
My starry night, my golden mean
You are the blade in my lover’s tree
And your name is carved in me
When shadows & storm clouds collide over me
When I’m looking for shelter in my heart there’s a tree
And under the branches the shape of your name
Is written in lightning in the language of rain
You are my silver dream
My starry night, my golden mean
You are the blade in my lover’s tree
And your name is carved in me
