One Beautiful Wife
Flowers & Things
Am I smoke - or an empty glass
What does it take to hold you
And I'm drunk - I've got nothing left
But the blue from your eyes
Heavy hearted - heavy handed
All this heaviness
Are you caught between all or nothing
Never enough to hold you
Damn my eyes - wanna follow you around
You're so god dammed beautiful
Heavy hearted - heavy handed - all this heaviness
And I can't hold you - no more
And I can't save you - anyway
I just don't love you the way
You want flowers and things
And you want everything - but me
Is this blood from a bloody bath
I'm wearing the red from your eyes
All the words - left completely dead
But I still hear the screaming
Heavy hearted - heavy handed - all this heaviness
And I can't hold you - no more
And I can't save you - anyway
I just don't love you the way
You want flowers and things
And you want everything - but me
And I can't hold you - no more
And I can't save you - anyway
You can barely save yourself
You want flowers and things
And you want everything - but me
'Bout Your Beauty
Baby come & save me
Come take the hammer from my hand
And steal the nail away
Baby - bring me your hands
Run over every inch of skin
And every drop of blood
- For one night - one night of comfort
I'll be your secret
Something tells me - I might compromise my heart
There's something 'bout your beauty
Something tells me - I might compromise my heart
There's something 'bout your beauty
See me - see I'm freezing
I feel so cold
I feel so cold so far inside
Could you want me
I feel so small
Could I be anything at all - to you
- For one night of comfort - I'll be your secret
Something tells me - I might compromise my heart
There's something 'bout your beauty
Something tells me - I might compromise my heart
There's something 'bout your beauty
You've got a pretty face
I wanna kiss you on the mouth
I wanna kiss you all around
Around the world
Something tells me - I might compromise my heart
There's something 'bout your beauty
Something tells me - I might compromise my heart
There's something 'bout your beauty
Until I'm Clean
Take me down to the water's edge
Got a lot of somethin' running through my head
I ain't a leaving here until I'm clean
I ain't a leaving here until I'm clean
Lower me in the cold blue bed
Bring the river all around me
My head is heavy and it might just - fall
My head is heavy and it might just - fall
Living can be so hard
Hard just to find the laughter
River oh river rise
Wash me 'way with your velvet hand (velvet hand won't you wash me 'way)
Everything inside of me, it feels so bad (velvet hand won't you wash me 'way)
Back to the beginning - need to love myself
River might be winning - need to love myself
Living can be so hard
Hard just to find the laughter
River oh river rise...higher...higher
Quiet now in the cold blue bed
Pull the river over me and I'll hold my breath
I ain't a leaving here until I'm clean
I ain't a leaving here until I'm clean
I ain't a leaving here until I'm clean
I ain't a leaving here until I'm clean
Living can be so hard
Hard just to find the laughter
River oh river rise
Living can be so hard (so hard)
Can't seem to find the laughter no more (so hard)
Can't seem to find the laughter no more (so hard)
Can't seem to find the laugh-ter
No - more
