Joanie 02:53
Joanie you ask me if I'm leaving
Listen Joanie I don't think I know the reason 
I was waiting for you to come along
There was hope in my eyes you could be strong Joanie you ask me if I'm leaving 
Listen Joanie Pain at times can be deceiving I was thinking about you in Dory Hill And now my heart keeps telling me I love you still Joanie what a tangled web we weave Listen Joanie The weight of the world is make believe Joanie Listen Joanie The weight of the world is make believe

I don't know how you can say that I've been thinking 'bout you Its been so long since you've been gone its crazy that you think I do I burned all your letters it ain't some kind of joke Now there ain't no fire for miles around me There ain't even no smoke I saw the way you looked at him I could tell it was true I had seen the glances dancing back and forth When the black had turned to blue I wish I had a treehouse high in a willow tree I'd waste my time and pay no mind I guess it comes naturally I just got to say it and I'm gonna say it slow There ain't no fire for miles around me There ain't even no smoke When we were lovers and I was wild and young Bridges burned, lessons learned and darling you were one That train left the station a long, long time ago Well, there ain't no fire for miles around me Ain't even no smoke

Drifting down the boulevard Halfway home but still unaware Turning over the final card Used to be I never knew you cared You don't have to worry no more Let it rain, let it pour Some times we don't know what to do I used to be a child, a child I never knew Now I can't stay here But I like the view Behind the door I hang my hat Kick my shoes off and go upstairs I make my bed I'm good at that Never too good at saying my prayers It's hard to know what makes me brave Barely breathing I'm long overdue My poor brain it won't behave No one else compares with you
5.
Something was lost along the line But something remains on the vine I been thinking 'bout the worries and the heartaches and the fields of wasted time There's a train i heard last night I heard it rumble in its flight Heard its whistle breathe a song through my heart On those rails running tight When I said I loved you those sleepless nights, worn so thin When I said I need you I meant it, you know I did I never knew you but I've seen the places you've been That'd be perfect if you came Cuz I'm the one who knows your flame Now my hands they're still shaking but i can't stop And I still love you all the same Everyone longs for heaven's gate But nobody knows how long they'll wait When you make an exception Paradise slips away once again
6.
I know your room, I've walked your floor After all this time, we've been here before The shades pulled down, your bed's unmade The shadows linger on until they fade Love is kind when you do your best We keep the good and throw away the rest When someone somewhere is thinking about you You never could be lonely if that's true Hear that lonesome whistle Calling out so long The house may be on fire The children are already gone Fly away Sally Nobody else can see But I'm still waiting rely on me Jesus Christ had a dream they say To sail his boat just to get away Well I don't know if that's really true

I Need You 03:08
8.
I'm rolling down the track once again I was saving myself for a rainy, rainy day Well I don't mind searching for what I might find And you already made up my mind The first time I noticed, you wore that red skirt The next time I saw you my lungs hurt Now I'd climb a mountain a thousand miles high Cuz you already made up my mind I've heard it said no one stands alone And where you hang your hat is what you call your home I don't mind people walking their own line Cuz you already made up my mind If I stop my running there's one place left to go Yes, I'll stop my running, but I can't go slow So I'll stay right here between these white lines Cuz you already made up my mind You already made up my mind You already made up my mind
9.
Only six years old and she's not afraid to go to sleep at night Her daddy tucks her in and tells her to dream again of something nice Shadows on the wall look like Jesus Might be scared if she believed it So she'll close her eyes cuz life seems so very long Something ain't right Something ain't right Something ain't right, ain't right with this world Her darling tucks her in and gives her a kiss that says the sun's gonna shine But she's much older now and she can read the doubt between the lines Frightened of the storm that grows inside Black as any hiding place you'll find Even the longest life don't seem to last very long So many shades of gray but she wants to taste the rain that falls at night They say it's no one's fault then dance around the coming waltz, they've seen the light Come on down she prays in the dark Come and prove You've got a heart So it is and was and so it will always will be
