1.
i see you at sunset wearing a long black dress oh i apologize i'm not looking my best and i take a walk by my old high school where i justify all of the horrible things i do i ain't too patient i'll sneak in through the back door and all we got left is lying on your floor and i take a night from the rest of my life when i bury it i'll say i'm doing fine and i know there's so much that i refuse to do but baby, this ain't got nothing to do with you
2.
Apparitions 05:11
hanging around with three sisters in the candlelight talking about apparitions and their nightly flight when i got you to myself in the black of night i tasted your breath and i lost my sight lost my sight oh please don't leave me like this because you put ghosts in my head, my dear and i could tell you what they said but you're not here because you're the ghost in my head, so cavalier and now i feel like i am dead when you disappear disappear
3.
Valley View 05:36
step aside from your life tonight you're going to dress up all in white because you're going somewhere new down to valley view if at first you don't know how to act just maintain an air of grace and tact and help yourself to a drink or two down in valley view look my friend, it's as good as it gets see the women turning pirouettes take her hand now she's turning you oh in valley view go ahead, man, she's in your hands it's all right, she understands no no don't shy away, hey oh i see you're very proud of yourself but don't confuse affection with wealth because we all have to pay our dues all to valley view
4.
baby please take away my glass of wine i believe i've had enough and if you press your lips against mine oh girl you called my bluff too many strangers don't you do me no favors you got something that i don't understand but i'll fake it the best i can and everything i got that you want, that you demand well it'll fit in the palm of your hand please take this halo off my head it's a weight i can't bear please strip these sheets from off my bed they got stains, girl, i can't wear
5.
The Deluge 03:53
even though the deluge was so far away i was drowning anyway i was lost in the sound of your voice and i had nothing to say but please keep me i want to stay with your diamond eyes and your blood like wine you are silver and brass somewhere cities are buried in the rain they say this will pass you and i hand in hand in the dunegrass with your porcelain palm and your midnight gown we were stumbling around out of breath we fall to the ground and on your head a crown to end the let and letting down
6.
Love Song 03:31
i'm tired of pretendingthat i don't miss you and i'm tired of seeing you once a year and i wonder how much longer it can last and i think foolishly that i'm living in the past but no, i love you but no, i love you the days are brighter when i find you asleep on my floor in the morning and our evenings last a thousand years and i'd give anything to stay right here because i love you because i love you love is wandering better take it when you can love your brother love your man
7.
oh don't tell me one more time what went down on ann street i can remember it fine on my own and don't tell me with your grin that you remember when you could feel a song in your bones you hide behind your cigarette and take all that you can get oh that house on ann street is just a monument to the ghosts of my friends so good luck, farewell i wish you the best but i don't want to make amends you hide behind your cigarette and take all that you can get like all the women in your bed it was all in your head so listen when i tell you once and for all i wasn't singing for you and if you need to find me please don't look on ann street i'm here at home on the avenue
