Name above of all names

There is nothing that I can do.
There is nothing that I can say.
You are my one desire,
You are my one true love,
Name above all names.

Til I'm In My Grave

Click here to listen.

What have I got myself into?
Did I just hear me say "I do"?
Now it's just me and it's just you
Til one of us sings the blues

But I'm not the man I hope to be
Give it a few months and you'll see
You're gonna need much more than me
I ain't enough to make you happy

But I can promise you three things
1. I'll be in your corner
2. I'm gonna work til I've worn away
3. For richer or poorer there's only you til I'm in my grave

Sit-You-Down

He killed himself on Christmas day,
or so it seems, and so they say
He hung himself in the garage
and a tree grew up from the floor.
A tree grew up in a crack in the floor,
and as I pass by the window I

see my face reflected there.

We pass each other like clouds in the sky
not knowing, oblivious.  No where or why.
So much flour and so little bread
for so very many mouths
We are all shattered and dead
mirrors on abandoned sidewalks.
All puddle and weed, so many pieces
I look for you but I

see my face reflected there.

This is what we do at my house
we take in orphans and we pass the beer
We say "don't you DARE ignore the here"
and grab you by the collar.
Sit
You
Down
I will hear no more of your excuses.
Do but look around at each one sitting, and

see my face reflected there.

i woke up at the end of the world

i woke up
at the end of the world.
arm in arm 
with my favorite girl.
lightening split the sky
and thunder shook the ground
i wasn't looking for the lost
they didn't want to be found.
Ooooo...

la la la la la

i once knew a man
who shot himself in the foot.
that sacramental limp
the holy oil of pain
its all by the book.
and i'm not looking for the lost
they don't want to be found...
Ooooo...

la la la la la

i woke up
at the world's end.
i was wrestling with angels...
He was wrestling with men.

la la la la la

(and i woke up at the end of the world.)
