To The Bone 02:44
TO THE BONE O my little one this is how it’s done you’ll play your part and I’ll play mine but your love drags me down like the clothes when you swim down deeper down like the roots of old trees my heart has no home you’ve bruised me to the bone O my little one can’t you see this is fate your bruise will fade and your bones didn’t brake but your love drags me down like the clothes when you swim down deeper down like the roots of old trees I shiver ’cause I’m cold but you don’t want to know

The Well 03:38
THE WELL I lean in to the well black water what can you tell a shadow swallows my reflection mother I see nothing at all the moon belly full of light all big and bright all alone in the sky alone as I a shadow swallows my reflection mother I see nothing at all I thought I saw your face how I wished it would be your face a shadow swallows my reflection mother I see nothing at all I lean in to the well black water what can you tell

No Death 03:09
NO DEATH my baby has a swollen face long stiff limbs them eyes are black pits of a place where I’ve been her hair is long still smells like mud she answered to my kiss with a rotten tongue no death can tear us apart her body is cold well its gonna get colder but my love will ignite what was left to smoulder I move my hips in her I am home I’ll keep on loving till the marrow dries from her bones no death can tear us apart all day I stay by her side but death has a claim and a right to my bride I shut the doors pull the curtains and hide I heard something moving somewhere outside no death can tear us apart but death comes a sneaking in trough the keyholes he’s clever and he knows what’s beneath the floorboards death comes to feast like a greedy hungry beast he wants it all and here he crawls and here he crawls and here he crawls...

No Hands 02:30
NO HANDS been riding my bicycle all day long up and down the old dusty dirt road look mother no hands see the sun filter through the trees I am happy the wind and the speed can’t see the danger look mother no hands
5.
Red 04:56
RED he said come out and play and it was all fun and games he asked me to dance and we danced his eyes where red and at the first brake of day my true love went away he’s evil she says he knows your nameand you’ve played his game he’ll eat your flesh and he’ll spit out the seeds those eyes will go red and at the first brake of day your true love will go away leave let me be let the devil take me leave can’t you see you cannot save me so I sit and wait ’till one night he came he asked me to dance and we danced his eyes went red and at the first brake of day my true love went away

Despair 04:17
DESPAIR despair came riding on the crest of a big black wave knocked me down on the floor said you’re the one I’ve been looking for it said dance with me ’till all the stars begin to fall dance with me till there’s nothing left of you at all all the stars come down tonight despair came riding on the crest of a big black wave thin as a scream and shouting out my name says no need to beg no need to fight his voice sends a shiver that brakes my spine all the stars come down tonight despair came riding on the crest of a big black wave and I was like child looking for a safe place to hide despair was standing with its jaws open wide swallowed me whole in to the big black night all the stars come down tonight

Joe 03:31
JOE Joe where do you go I’m going to wash my sins away an angel told me so when they find me in the river tell my mother I was a good boy the wind in the trees an angel holding hands with me I’m light as a leaf no sign of sorrow no sign of grief when they find me in the river tell my mother I was a good boy he folds his clothes goes wading in the birds are singing in the trees there singing for me when they find me in the river tell my mother I was a good boy

The Road 02:41
THE ROAD the hay hung low where the road leads I will go and it’s a hard and a crooked life when you’re a dead man’s unwedded bride the hay moves slow where the road leads no one knows and it’s a hard and a crooked life when you’re a dead man’s unwedded bride down by the road sits a man who’s gray and old says the hardest thing I know is to see your loved ones go down goes the road where the wildflowers grow there’s a lake that’s dark deep and cold there I shall lay my bones down I go gonna lay my bruised bones and the hardest thing they’ll know is just letting go
