you said, "don't make plans for tomorrow night.
I think we both get off at nine.
let's get together, the timing's perfect.
my heart sank, well, it didn't sink so much as it fell
into it's tomb that it's known too well
let's get together, the timing's all wrong.
I remember when you used to be my important place to be
now you think you love me again and I ask myself if I'm that naive.
you said, "no, it's always made me think of you."
I lived the movie, so I figured, too.
let's get together, the timing's perfect.
I remember when you used to say
that our love would just get in the way.
now you think you're ready for it,
but the lights are dim and the wood's decayed.
he's gone, in some other state for a night or two.
we could get together, just me and you.
let's get together, the timing's awful.

My Favorite Things

pulling the hair from your head in your bedroom.
all your best friends have just left you in love with them.
wipe away cobwebs and tear down the shades.
you be the cold and I'll be the cave.
dreams of ex-lovers who've come back to greet you.
the boy from the bar so ecstatic to meet you.
wipe away cobwebs while you have it made.
you be the cold and I'll be the cave.
when the phone rings,
when heart brings summers bite and bark
I simply remember the way that you sing
and then I'm alone at last.
something possessed you, so who could you turn to?
you can't blend the colors the way the sky learned to do.
wipe away cobwebs while you're unafraid.
our place is in clouds your heart can't contain.

Oh, you tell me that your last good dollar is gone
And you say that your pockets are bare
And you tell me that your clothes are tattered and torn
And nobody seems to care
Now don't tell me your troubles
No I don't have the time to spare
But if you want to get together and fight
Good buddy that's what I want to hear
And you tell me that your job was taken away
By a big ol' greasy machine
And you tell me that you don't collect no more pay
And your belly is growing lean
Now if I had the jobs to give
You know I'd give them all a way
But don't waste your breath calling out my name
If you don't have nothing to say
And you tell me that you don't have nothing to do
And you keep on wasting your time
And you say when you want to get your family some food
You gotta stand in a relief line
Now it's a sin and a bloody shame
'Bout the way they're pushing you 'round
But when you decide not to take no more
You know I'll put my money down
'Cause I've seen your kind many times before
And I'll see 'em many times again
Oh, but every bad thing that's happened to you
Has happened to better men
So don't explain that you've lost your way
That you've got no place to go
You've got a hand and a voice and you're not alone
Brother that's all you need to know
And if you're still wondering what I'm trying to say
Let me tell you what it's all about
Now nobody listens to a single man
When he's walkin' 'round down and out
So if you're looking for an answer
He's standing there by your side
And you'll never really know how far you'll go
'Til you join together and try
So you tell me that your last good dollar is gone
And you say that your pockets are bare
And you tell me that your clothes are tattered and torn
And nobody seems to care
Now don't tell me your troubles
No I don't have the time to spare
But if you want to get together and fight
Good buddy that's what I want to hear
