"Mail Order Mystics" lyrics
"Mail Order Mystics"
You got money, child, and I've got time
Don't say yours is heavy if you ain't tried mine
Why don't you shake out your silver and buy me some wine
I'll sell you celebration if you'll buy my time
Don't tell me about your troubles, child, 'cause I've got mine
All I wanna talk about is lovin' and wine
Don't tell me death is easy when I'm dying so slow
Go tell it to your doctor, it's what you pay him for
If he's an old one, he'll be rollin', round on the floor
It ain't that I don't hear, I just don't listen no more
You can go ahead and shoot yourself, I don't mind
But all I wanna talk about is lovin' and wine
Can't you just go out and see the stars at night
Without asking someone lucky how to see them right?
Yes, mail order mystics never had it so good
You go ahead and listen like I knew you would
It's hours of conversation all about my sign
All I wanna talk about is lovin' and wine
Don't tell me about your troubles, child, 'cause I've got mine
And all I wanna talk about is lovin' and wine

Mary Gauthier - "Slip Of The Tongue" Honey sit down
I've got something to say
Last night I drowned
I got carried away
Swept up in the feelings
The words poured out of me
This morning I'm scared
I don't know how to be
My heart moves...

There's a place I love too well,
Where I spent many days of my childhood,
In the cabin where we loved so well. White dove will mourn in sorrow,
The willows...
The Be Good Tanyas - "Human Thing" You're a human thing
Who do you think that you're foolin'?
You're not foolin', not foolin' me
You're a human thing
You're so busy frontin'
Confusin' courage and acting
Move me
Move me
Could it...
Nanci Griffith - "Boots Of Spanish Leather" Oh, I'm sailing away, my own true love
I'm sailing away in the morning
Is there something I can send you from across the sea?
From the place where I'll be landing?
There's nothing you can send me,...
Bruce Cockburn - "Pacing The Cage" Sunset is an angel weeping
Holding out a bloody sword
No matter how I squint I cannot
Make out what it's pointing toward
Sometimes you feel like you've lived too long
Days drip slowly on the page
You...
