Something must have left That's the only way I can explain You know me for who I am The man with the revolving door So did I spin your head around? Can we tell up from down? Risk is easy when its left unsaid But what's the point in that For circles and circles we ran for each other Found ourselves then found another You misperceived my intentions But where the fuck are the directions? ...And I'm so tired. I'm so tired. Something must have stayed From these feelings I can't refrain You knew us for who we were Two lost in a tumble twirl But are we what we could have been? It's hard to tell with your cord oh' so thin I feel sick and woozy but what does that mean? I can't tell right from wrong For circles and circles we ran for each other Found ourselves then found another You misperceived my intentions But where the fuck are the directions? ...And I'm so tired. I'm so tired.

Witch Doctor 02:57
They say she came from New Orleans A dead flower in her hair And the way she talked, it crept into your skin She'd laugh without a care She'd say "I aint' seen no witch doctor, but I've heard of all her tales. The one about the moon, the time you were swooning And the time that you were sure to fail." Her words they struck me in the night I couldn't get no rest Was she alive in my dreams, was this some kind of test? So I went down to the medicine man He had nothing but bad news "Sorry, son," he said to me, "You've got them wondering blues" "If you stay, I could play you a song that might delight your ears" "That's alright, I'll get on my way, I'm just counting down my years" Now I'm old, tired to the bone Time is just dragging along Her words still entwined deep in my soul And lay hidden behind this song She'd say "I aint' seen no witch doctor, but I've heard of all her tales. The one about the moon, the time you were swooning And the time that you were sure to fail."

I had a job just the other day Yea, I had a job that paid But winter came and I was on my way Talking about those unemployed blues Everybody seems to ask, "what do you do?" "I'm living proof," I reply My time is spent, but I'm without the rent Talking about those unemployed blues "File for E.I.," they say to me But, man, ain't that the pits Unless you've earned maybe it ain't your turn Talking about those unemployed blues But hell, I'm on the dole It feels like I'm pissing gold It's hard looking for work, man, with all these perks Talking about those unemployed blues They say it's about who you know And where you're from can come into play So I'm shaking hands in foreign lands Talking about those unemployed blues Some people play it all by ear Some people decide out of fear Between those to sides, I think I'll find my stride Talking about those unemployed blues

In the land of the pines I made up my mind I ain't gunna see you anymore Above the tree line I could see what wasn't mine And it stretched from here to yours Though which was once so bright Be now taken from our sight Hold close to what you know and know that its alright I may come and go, travel in the night So don't be a waiting As the clouds roll by without a care or a sigh I pray that you will understand Sorry if I lied This is my goodbye Fairly well my companion Though nothing can take back the hour In the splendour of the grass, in the beauty in a flower Please do not linger, rather find Strength in what remains behind As the rain turns to snow And the wind begins to blow I look back at what we had It wasn't long ago But looking back a little more I was young and I was sad Though which was once so bright Be now taken from our sight Hold close to what you know and know that it's alright I may come and go, travel in the night So don't be a waiting

Winter 04:32
Do you know how cold the winters are up here? If you choose to follow please come warm and near A morning's thaw, no tracks in the snow Dew drips from the fingertips off the trees to the shrubs below "But I'll go further north," she said, "How different can it be" "Water sheds and water brings life to you and me" See it through, don't let it carry you away Hold on true, I wouldn't have it any other way So don't stop What your singing Because I'm taken it to heart Keep What I'm playing It's been yours from the start And know That what you gave I'll always show For Jojo, forever ago Songbirds singing, roots reach through the soil Blossoms bring, and the tendrils toil Lose the rest and put it between you and I The water returns from the earth to the sky So don't stop What your singing Because I'm taken it to heart Keep What I'm playing It's been yours from the start And know That what you gave I'll always show For Jojo, forever ago
