"Valdese" lyrics
"Valdese"
Please return the focus to the setting where I left
I'll picture you floating with the ghost above the trees
My camera is the soul to those armies long forgotten
And the picture tells the story in the chapter of Valdese
Valdese
For leaving can be golden on the wing
And I can't swim, but if I can I'll sing
The mail arrives, I read and then I leave
Cause the more I read, the more I feel deceived
The more I read, the more I feel deceived
Do you ever feel locked in?
Do you ever feel that you can't win?
The mad man can slide the knife inside
But who then has their sights set on him
And the ghost in the orchard will sharpen his teeth
And climb way up in a tree
And wait for some poor fool to wander beneath
On his blind journey to Valdese
To Valdese
And nine is the number great lover, great lover
I'll picture you floating with the ghost above the trees
And nine is the number great lover, great lover
And nine is the number great lover, great lover
Valdese
To Valdese
And nine is the number great lover, great lover
And nine is the number great lover, great lover
And nine is the number great lover, great lover
And nine is the number great lover, great lover

Greensky Bluegrass - "Living Over" These same songs that we keep writing
Are gonna keep us honest, at least so I'm hoping
And speaking of honest, I lie a lot
Lie down with strangers when I'm sleeping
I lie about drinking, I lied about...
The Allman Brothers Band - "Stand Back" I recall once upon a time,
Livin was so easy and I felt so fine.
But, my, my, my right before my very eyes,
Satan came with fire to burn me,
Wouldn't listen when they warned me.
A dagger in my back...
Futurebirds - "Burnout" You don't love me now say you're bored to death
Always recycling the conversation
But you lit my fire and then you threw me in
I became the flame and burned us down
But you can't put my flame out...
The Black Crowes - "Soul Singing" I've been down
Cascading and blue w/out a sound
Now I've traded my black feathers for a crown
So feed me milk & honey
Lay me down
Lay me down
Look around
Show me holy places not yet found...
The Band - "Ophelia" Boards on the window, mail by the door
What would anybody leave so quickly for?
Ophelia
Where have you gone?
The old neighborhood just ain't the same
Nobody knows just what became
Of Ophelia
Tell...
