Rainy Days 02:46
we are the rainy days we are the salted earth a holy roman come-what-may void of mirth we don't give holidays we're stiff, starched, collared shirts we will fashion mud from dirt we will not seek catharsis until the clouds subside be still for what will befall us has naught to do with spite we are the rainy days we are the salted earth a holy roman come-what-may void of mirth we're clogged up sewer drains we are a can of worms we are leaden chips of paint

Love Me 02:51
love me like a brother you can love me like a son you can love me however you want as long as it don't stop i set out from new orleans you better hope i didn't know love me came into my house one thursday morn and i cried out "hello!" you were in the bedroom door and i was home morning turned to afternoon we were shivering beneath the sun love me

Faber 03:10
if i was younger i'd have the heart to be smarter and sweeter to tell you to leave i'm a jug of wine for a long time i was bitter in pines i linger by the church i wonder how you fare with virility i'd make a move i'm not a sad song i'm only a touch of one in few i'd confide how my heart strings rode the bloody tide i close my eyes for now
4.
Prodigal Son 03:32
though just the good son not for naught the prodigal course eat well and travel abroad your wrongs will push you home to the out-and-out of a father's love this world is wilderness it is easy to get lost he seeks the blackguard sheep for to sling over his shoulders decisions we make are not always the healthiest ones but maybe that, that's what it takes though just the good son not for naught the prodigal course eat well and travel abroad your wrongs will push you home to the out-and-out of a father's love elder with silver coins should she lose but one she still will displace the furniture until she's found her piece (or peace) though just the good son not for naught the prodigal course eat well and travel abroad your wrongs will push you home to the out-and-out of a father's love
5.
i can't help it if a cold comes on i can't pay for what rises up lay your treasures with mothballs earthly trials will corrupt take precaution in case of sickness or injury i can't plan for the life in the sky nor the day when to dust my body shall return lay your treasures with mothballs earthly trials will corrupt take precaution in case of sickness or injury sickness or injury
6.
our days are our days are numbered our days are our days are num-- i've seen the coming of a storm high winds, high floodlines i've been away for sometime but now i'll be returning home soon our days are our days are numbered our days are our days are num-- how quick the candles melt down how the moon wanes word spreads across the state lines rough tide across the empty black sea
