My Morning Jacket Album

Sittin' here with me and mine, all wrapped up in a bottle of wine
Little we can do... we gon' see it thru somehow
So... now are you ready to go? my lady
I been waitin' on the boat here I been waitin' so long
"Can he se me? does he feel me? does he know me at all?"
"Does it shiver? always deliver? does it know me at all?"
Bang! Bang! goes the night, all wrapped up in the firelight
Don't "rock bottom", just listen, just slow down
So... now are you ready to go, my lady?
I been waitin' on the boat here, I been waitin' so long...

Daybreak, nightfall, long as I believe
There ain't nothing glowing like the skin you're showin' and the keys you gave to me
Nightjails, poolhalls, some things are everywhere
So for the past I'm diggin' a grave so big, it will swallow up the sea
Oh I know... that it's easy... there's no trouble waitin' for me
Dancefloors, headlights, in my blood there's gasoline
For an urban boy on a dirty tour I never felt so clean
Loaded questions in an automatic world
You just won't be seein' the things you need, as if you thought you would
Oh, I know... it's never easy... when there's trouble waitin' for me

"Watchin' this streach of road,
Miles of light explode,
Driftin' off the thing I've never done before.

Watchin' the crowd roll in,
Out go the lights, It Begins.
Feeling in my bones I've never felt before.

People always told me,
That bars are dark & lonley,
And talk is often cheap & filled with air.
Sure sometime it thrills me,
But nothing could ever chill me,
Like the way they make the time just disapear.

Feelin' you're here again,
Hard on my skin again,
Feelin' good a thing, I've never known before,
What does it mean to feel?
Millions of dream 'come real,
Feeling in my sould I've never felt before.

And you, you always told me,
No matter how long it holds me,
If it falls apart or makes us millionares,
We'll be right here forever,
Go through this thing together,
And on Heaven's Golden Shore, We'll lay our heads."

I've got a master plan babe, I been workin' on it from the start.
Pluggin' in all of the numbers, watchin' it on all of the charts.
Just 'cause it starts off slow babe, doesn't mean it don't have a heart.
You'll be walkin' round showin' off someday
And it'll take you right back to the start.
It's everything that you want babe.
It's everything that you need.
Soft and warm all the time, make you want it over and over.
Strong on the horizon, but ends up bein' really so sweet... oh so sweet.
Sometimes I wanna lay down babe, sometimes I wanna stand up and fight.
Sometimes it runs its course in a day, sometimes it goes for night after night.
Know that it will start off strong babe, and it will end up weak in the end.
Just like the heart you break of a love babe, just like the hand you take of a friend.
It's everything that you want babe.
It's everything that you need.
Soft and warm all the time, make you want it over and over.
Strong on the horizon, but ends up bein' really sweet.... oh so sweet...

"Wakin' up, feeling, Good & limber,
When the telephone, it ring.
Was a bad man from California,
Tellin' of a stone he'd bring.

And of, better days,
From this town, we'd escape,
If we, holler loud, and make our way,
We'd all live, One Big Holiday.

So we listened &, Up the river,
And recorded all the sounds,
Was some shakin' & some, record playing,
All the leather kids were loud."

I will sing to you of greater things... money, gold, and diamond rings.
Just don't make it last any longer thatn it has to
Stories of the greater years... fill your heart and soul with beer (tears)
Just don't make it last any longer than it has to
I will sing to you of greater things... money! gold! and diamond rings.
Just don't make it last any longer than it has to
Stories of the greater years... what's in here won't disappear
Just don't make it last any longer than it has to

well the easy mornin rebel, well he has come.
come down from heaven, all bathed in sun
he'll take to flyin, he'll take to the road...
as long as he's movin to get dey blood!
he'll be the water if you'll be the wine.
sent down from heaven in this earthly disguise
well the evening rebel, his heart is stone.
this earthly body... just a temporary home
a dream of movin moves on thru the night
and he sure looks good when he moves in the light
he'll be the water if you'll be the wine.
sent down from heaven in this earthly disguise
black hearted ruler? I only knew...
that loving moment I had with you

Oh shit run! oh shit run! oh shit run thru the ghetto.
They will hear you.
Mornin' bell tolls at home, rings loud back where I come from, calls me back.
Often times I would hope and pray, then faith came my way.
Oh shit run! oh..............
It's what appears to me, it's what appears to me.
Oh shit run! oh..............
It's what appears to me, it's wha appears to me.
It's what appears to me.
Ahhhhhhhh...................

just in the nick of time you got me.. while I was sittin here
time I don't think I waste it, it just seems to disappear
sippin' the wine you got me, while eyes were rollin back
long hours and hard hard things just bring heart attacks
oh oh oh you had me, wrapped up in your mystery...
when the light vanished from on high
oh i'll never say I knew you, but my heart can't wait
to meet you on the other side
when I think about the story, one thing seems pretty clear
the warm things you left behind they still want you here
but only in time you find...that all things come back around
and just like the frown, we'll turn them upside down
oh oh oh you had me, wrapped up in your mystery
when the light vanished from on high
oh i'll never say I knew you
but my heart can't wait
to meet you on the other side

baby. there's just one thing
one thing that does it
does it for me
baby. we'll find a way
we'll go out
out for a day
and I want it so bad! it's the first thing I see when I wake
so bad! it's the first thing I see when I wake

So I do believe, none of this is physical
At least not to me
So, I do believe
That anywhere it goes
It's always with me
It's not the dream
That makes you weak
It's not the night that makes you sleep
But it's a voice, and it's a choice
To call you out, or stay at home
So, I do believe
None of this is physical
At least not to me
So I do believe
That anywhere it goes
It's always with me
It's not the beast, it's not the sheets
So soft and warm, all over me
But it's the touch, you need so much
To move around on this green earth
Take your money and your drugs
Take your money and your drugs
To anyone who wondered
What old jebus meant to me
Take him out to go diving
In red patoka sea
The brain melts in the twilight
With the boar and moving trees
Your skin looks good in moonlight
And Goddamn those shaky knees
The fact that my heart's beating
Is all the proof you need

on the way back home...how long did it seem?
3 days or 4? snow glazed all the trees
my mother held me...like a motorcycle, so warm...
we sang melody...
campin out all ngiht...slow moves in the light...
of all the things that you've seen...
was the motorcycle so warm you sang melody?
at that moment I'd know...just how close we could be
and though it always was mine...it always seemed new to me
10,000 colors in all...eyes like caves on my cheeks
to all the people I've loved...don't think poor of me
it wasn't till I woke up...that I could hold down a joke or a job or a dream
but then all three are one in the same
and ALL then are one in the same
and all us are one in the same
