"Rogers Park" lyrics
"Rogers Park"
This towns dead tonight
I got no place to be
Moon is hung just right
Shine like diamonds on these streets
Red Line wind me lonesome
Its cutting clean through my heart
In my window smoking
While the midnights setting in on rogers park
I come here with hopes and
Guess I came here with dreams
Now I'm all alone
I can't even get to sleep
So take my heart and break it in
Send me back to the pines
Tired of lying awake at night
Feels like I'm running outta time
See my dreams before my eyes
Shadows on the wall
I ain't got no place I can fall
Snowing in off the lake
Punching holes in the dark
Through the lonely streets
Of rogers park
So shadow boys are begging and I
Hear them down in the streets
Corner girls are waiting
For someone to take them off for keeps
There ain't no hope in healing them
There ain't no prayer for the poor
And all that's lost in stealing
She can't hold me anymore
See my dream before my eyes
Shadows on the wall
I ain't got no place I can fall
Snowing in off the lake
Punching holes in the dark
Through the lonely streets
Of rogers park
Oh through the lonely streets
Of rogers park

Ryan Adams - "Come Pick Me Up" When they call your name, will you walk right up

With an old love letter?

Come pick me...
Wilco - "Either Way" Maybe the sun will shine today
The clouds will blow away
Maybe I won't feel so afraid
I will try to understand
Either way

Calexico - "Goin' To Acapulco" I'm going down to Rose Marie's
She never does me wrong.
She puts it to me plain as day
And gives it to me for a song.
It's a wicked life but what the hell
The stars ain't falling down.
I'm standing...
Townes Van Zandt - "If I Needed You" If I needed you
Would you come to me,
Would you come to me,
And ease my pain?
If you needed me
I would come to you
I'd swim the seas
For to ease your pain
In the night forlorn
The morning's born...
Hayes Carll - "Beaumont" I saw you leanin' on a memory
With your back turned to the crowd
In that little bar on Murphy
Where they play guitar too loud
There were people drinkin' whiskey
There were hearts about to leave
