Conspire to Smile

I like wide spaces and hot wild wind
You blew through me so I could think
Carved out my drought so I could drink
I like bright colors and quirks of fate
Survivors of the wreck of time
I'll save your heart and you'll save mine
I will keep you safe
And you will keep me wild
And we'll conspire to smile
Long field of adventure
Give away to the sea
What a simple gift it is just to be
Sometimes execution gets away from me, gets away from me
I will keep you safe
And you will keep me wild
And we'll conspire to smile
Keep me safe and I'll keep you wild
I'll smile
Keep me safe and I'll keep you wild
I'll Smile
Keep me safe and I'll keep you wild
Conspire, conspire, conspire to smile

I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' about half past dead
I just need some place where I can lay my head
Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?
He just grinned and shook my hand, "no, " was all he said
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And (and) (and) you put the load right on me
(You put the load right on me)
I picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hide
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side
I said, hey, Carmen, come on let's go downtown
She said, "I gotta go, but my friend can stick around"
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And (and) (and) you put the load right on me
(You put the load right on me)
Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say
It's just ol' Luke and Luke's waitin' on the Judgment Day
Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee
He said, do me a favor, son, won't you stay and keep Anna Lee company?
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And (and) (and) you put the load right on me
(You put the load right on me)
Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog
He said, I will fix your rack, if you'll take Jack, my dog
I said, wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man
He said, that's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can?
Yeah, take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And (and) (and) you put the load right on me
(You put the load right on me)
Catch a cannon ball now to take me down the line
My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time
To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone
Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And (and) (and) you put the load right on me
(You put the load right on me)

Sideways Train
The land was lying low and lean
Legends and black soot from the days of steam
Bare-knuckled boxcars
Bare bones to ride
Blank stares and old scars
And all the angels cry
All the Angels cry
They cried
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
May soul encounter soul on the cross-town bus
Ashes to ashes and smoke to flame
May soul encounter soul on the sideways train
She pulled the plug when he obsessed
She set him tight when he digressed
She was a photograph
Pretty as a picture to behold
He was a stumbling mess
In years and worries he was old
In years and worries he was old
They cried
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
May soul encounter soul on the cross-town bus
Ashes to ashes and smoke to flame
May soul encounter soul on the sideways train
Soul encounter on the sideways train
Soul encounter on the sideways train
Soul encounter
Come one, come all, come to this place.
All recent disciples and tired saints
You can cost the melt weight
Like all good counters must
Add it up or melt it down
All good engines rust,
Yeah all good engines rust
They cried
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
May soul encounter soul on the cross-town bus
Ashes to ashes and smoke to flame
May soul encounter soul on the sideways train

PEOPLE GET READY: Curtis Mayfield
People, get ready
There's a train a-coming
You don't need no ticket
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear the diesels humming
Don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord
People get ready
For the train to Jordan
Picking up passengers
From coast to coast
Faith is the key
Open the doors and board them
There's room for all
Amongst the loved the most
There ain't no room
For the hopeless sinner
Who would hurt all mankind
Just to save his own
Have pity on those
Whose chances are thinner
'Cause there's no hiding place
From the kingdom's throne
So people get ready
For the train a-comin'
You don't need no ticket
You just get on board
All you need is faith
To hear the diesels humming
Don't need no ticket
You just thank the Lord
I'm getting ready
I'm getting ready
This time I'm ready
This time I'm ready
I'm getting ready
Getting ready, oh yeah
I'm getting ready, yes I am

Sometimes

Sometimes I lay awake at night and wonder
Will I be alone again tomorrow?
Will I be alone again today?
Will I be alone again today?
Will I be alone again?
I wish I could find a way to disappear
Miles and miles and miles and no one near
Gotta settle my mind, gotta settle my mind
Gotta settle my mind, gotta settle my mind
Gotta settle my mind, gotta settle it
I've got a reason to believe,
Lonely days are gonna go away
I've got a reason to believe
I've come a long, come a long, come a long way
And I've come a long way
I wish that I was crippled and blind
Then I wouldn't have this on my mind
I wish that I was deaf and dumb
Wouldn't have to talk to anyone
Anyone...no, I wouldn't have to talk to anyone
Confusion, confusion
I'll I need, all I really need
Is an illusion, an illusion
All I know, all I really know is...
I've got a reason to believe,
Lonely days are gonna go away
I've got a reason to believe
I've come a long, come a long, come a long way
And I've come a long way
Sometimes I lay awake at night and wonder
Will I be alone again tomorrow?
Will I be alone again today?
Will I be alone again today?
Will I be alone again?
I'll get away, I'll get away, I'll get away
I'll get away, I'll get a, I'll get away....
I wish I didn't need a woman...
I wish I didn't need one
I've got a reason to believe,
Lonely days are gonna go away
I've got a reason to believe
I've come a long, come a long, come a long way
And I've come a long way

Look At Miss Ohio
Gillian Welch
Oh me, oh my-oh
Look at Miss Ohio
She's a-running around with her rag-top down
She says, I want to do right but not right now
Gonna drive to Atlanta
And live out this fantasy
Running around with the rag-top down
Yeah, I want to do right, but not right now
Had your arm around her shoulder
A regimental soldier
And mama starts pushing that wedding gown
Yeah, you want to do right, but not right now
Oh me, oh my-oh
Would you look at Miss Ohio
She's a-running around with the rag-top down
She says, I want to do right, but not right now
And I know all about it
So you don't have to shout it
I'm gonna straighten it out somehow
Yeah, I want to do right, but not right now
Oh me, oh my-oh
Look at Miss Ohio
She's a-running around with her rag-top down
She says, I want to do right, but not right now
Oh, I want to do right, but not right now

Sunshot
We are all fables
We are all silhouettes in time
We are all floating
In the stars
You are a stable
In the acres of my life
Your breath is mingling
With mine
I can all but hear
The beating of your heart as it's rushing
The sound is pounding and near
(yeah, yeah, yeah) Love can be crushing
Jewel of my bloodstream
In the lazy winter day
Your eyes alight
With sun shot rays
Riot of color
Is a banquet for your name
The world's alight
With coals aflame
I can all but hear
The beating of your heart as it's rushing
The sound is pounding and near
(yeah, yeah, yeah) Love can be crushing

I Wanna Feel It
Animal Liberation Orchestra
If a storm's coming on
You know I wanna feel it
No I won't go run and hide
Wanna stand up to my pride
Cause I wanna feel it
On my soul it's gonna bleed
But deeply through it I will breathe
Cause I wanna feel it
If silence is gonna fall
You know I wanna hear it
Not gonna move
I wanna face this vacant mood
Cause I wanna hear it
Gonna let this silence swarm
'Til it silences the storm
Cause I wanna hear it
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I don't wanna live behind a lie
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And if I fall I wanna find a way to fly
If a light is gonna shine
You know I wanna see it
Ain't gonna blink my eyes
Wanna fix them to the sky
Cause I wanna see it
With this light I'm washing out
All the darkness and the doubt
Cause I wanna see it
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I don't wanna live behind a lie
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And if I fall I wanna find a way to fly
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I don't wanna live behind a lie
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And if I fall I wanna find a way to fly

Whistle Clock
You may serve them roses
You may serve their delight
But when the working day closes
I sing you sweetly goodnight
Laughing bright eyed in the grass
I smelled your scent as your body passed
Dreading Monday at Sunday noon
You'll be returning here none too soon
The touch of a supple woman
The love of a dog
Soaking in simple pleasures
Like a crack in the fog
I saw pressure come pouring out
I cut you open and let it out
Then comes the piston stroke again
Compressing muscle like oxygen
The purr of a perfect lover
The curve of a song
Soaking in simple pleasure
Like a crack in the fog
You may serve them roses
You may serve their delight
But when the working day closes
I sing you sweetly goodnight
You duck your head when the Banshee screams
And pray for days shorter than they seem
Then comes the whistle clock again
You wanna leave but your legs can't bend
The touch of a supple woman
The love of a dog
Soaking in simple pleasures
Like a crack in the fog
You may serve them roses
You may serve their delight
But when the working day closes
I sing you sweetly goodnight
Still serving roses
Serving roses and red

Midnight Moonlight
Old & In the Way
If you ever feel lonesome when you're down in San Antone
Beg, steal or borrow two nickels or a dime to call me on the phone
And I'll meet you at Alamo Mission, where we can say our prayers
The Holy Ghost and the Virgin Mother will heal us as we kneel there
In the moonlight, in the midnight, in the moonlight, midnight, moonlight
If you ever feel sorrow for the deeds you have done
With no hope for tomorrow in the setting of the sun
And the ocean is howling for the things that might have been
And that last good morning sunrise will be the brightest you've ever seen
In the moonlight, in the midnight, in the moonlight, midnight, moonlight
