Marry Me - Demo

Sittin' in your old Ford on the edge of town
We were riding high and hummin' tunes, with the windows down
You swore you were only joking around when you said
Marry me, and be my queen
I'll drive an old truck and pump the gasoline
Don't mistake this for somethin' new
I've always been dreamin' of you
Stealin' kisses in the corner of a college bar
Spring break in Mexico never got us this far
Now I don't think I wanna be apart and you said
Marry me, and be my queen
I'll drive an old truck and pump the gasoline
Don't mistake this for somethin' new
I've always been dreamin' of you
Now my bad nights seem outnumbered
All the old dreams are up and gone
When I'm sleepin' I sleep on pillows and memories of you

Traveling Song - Demo

Time to sit down and write me another traveling song
I'll set down the words by the fire and watch it burn
Snow on the bushes and ice on the pond
The whole world sleeps
There's snow in the treetops, no red to be seen
Guess I'll wait till Spring
Time to sit down and write me another traveling song
I'll get down the words on the road once we go
Birds know the way as they're headed south
We're chasing V's
Tracks on the meadow and frost on my nose
Making angel's wings
Time to sit down and write me another traveling song
Set down the words by the fire and watch them burn

Time - Demo

I was born in a box car over the hill
I've been picking up stories, I've been kicking up thrills
When I met you I found out that I wasn't the only one
Stuck with a dream that hadn't yet begun
This was supposed to be the part where you would come in
But you always were bashful when I started singing
Bet you didn't know you weren't the only one
That hadn't learned all the words to these love songs
Won't you please just give it a little while?
Cuz I think I might need a little of your time
I was born on a hot, summer night in July
Riding shotgun in slow lanes and shooting the night sky
When I met you I found out I wasn't the only one
Who knew all the words to these Hank Williams songs
This is supposed to be the part where you come in
But you always got bashful when I started singing
Bet you didn't know you weren't the only one
Who knew all the chords to these old jazz songs
Won't you please just give it a little while?
Cuz I think I might need a little of your time

Lonely - Demo

When I found out you were lonely
When I found out you'd been crying
All the same songs I'd been singing
I heard harmony all night
On the train ride in the morning
My blues began it's slow decline
And it's warmer out the window
As the sun begins to climb
As I'm standing on the platform
My nerves begin to fade
And the glow that's been growing
Spreads ore my face
I'm dreaming about castles
And fairytales they've made
I'm thinking, hoping, wishing the plan's about to change

Don't you take it too bad
If you're feeling unloving
If you're feeling un-feeling
If you're feeling alone
Don't you take it too bad
Cuz it's not you to blame, babe
No, it's some kind of game made
Out of all of this living
That we got left to do
And if you go searching
For rhyme or for reason
Well you won't have the time
That it takes just for talking
Bout the places you've been, babe
Bout the faces you've seen made
And how soft the time flies
Past your window at night
And we just can't have that, girl
Cuz it's a hard, lonesome, cold world
And a man needs a woman
For to stand by his side
And whisper sweet words in his ears about daydreams
And roses and playthings
The sweetness of springtime
And the sound of the rain

Caught you at the best part of your life
Funny how it started when we met
Now, pressed up against your skin,
Feels like the only life I'm in
Caught you at the best part of your life
Funny, how we weren't really meeting, then
Now, pressed up against your skin
I breathe the rose you're bathed in
You will lead me home
Will you lead me home?
Caught you at the best part of your life, so far
Funny how it started in Mexico
Now, in the morning glow
You reach over for my hand
Caught you at the best part of your life, so far
Funny how it started with a song
Now, all i wanna do
Is keep singing along with you
You will lead me home
Will you lead me home?
(un-recorded)
It's gonna feel better, baby
When you're home
Come on and feel better, baby
Start coming home

Ashes - Demo

What do you want to say now?
The morning cracks the window and you still have me lying in the dark
I've exposed myself to you
I'm not so patient, waiting
The fuse isn't burning at both ends
Commit yourself to fire
You're so warm until the morning
I'm poking in the ashes for a coal
I've exposed myself to you
I ain't used to conversation
But it seems to be the only thing we'll do
I ain't indecisive
I just can't figure out why you don't think I'm in love with you
Commit yourself to fire
When the morning strikes the window
I'll start planning my day home to you
What do you want to say now?
The morning strikes the window and you still have me lying in the dark

Où sont mes chaussures
Où sont mes chaussures
Où sont mes chaussures
Where are my shoes?
Où sont mes chaussettes
Où sont mes chaussettes
Où sont mes chaussettes
Where are my socks?
Où est ma chemise
Où est ma chemise
Où est ma chemise
Where is my shirt?
Well, I guess I have to go, now...
And all I've got is pants, somehow
If you see me on my way
I hope you smile
I hope you wave
