Jersey Devil ~ Downbound Train

Hear me now! I was born 13th child, 'neath the 13th moon... Spit out all hungry and born anewDaddy drag me to the river tie me in rocksThrow me in where it's deep and wideI go down, I don't dieHole in the river bottom, I crawl throughCome back kill six brothers and sisters, kill papa tooSway down Mama, sway down lowThey gonna know me wherever I goInto my bed with her kerosene my mama creepSet my flesh to burning, whilst I sleepI burn, burn, burn, till my soul burn blackBlack rains fall, I come back, I come backGet down Mama, get down lowThey gonna know me wherever I go16 witches, cast 16 spellsMake me a guitar outta skin and human skullSing you a song like the wind in the sandy loamBring you baby out your happy homeRam's head, forked tail, clove hoof, love's my trailI sup on your body, sip on your blood like wineOut world theirs, this world mineSo kiss me baby till it hurtsGod lost in heaven, we lost on earthSway down Mama, sway down lowThey gonna know me wherever I goWherever I go, wherever I goWell I got a brand new loverI love her yes I do,She's my one and only and her name is Baby Blue...

I had a job, I had a girl... I had something going mister in this world... I got laid off down at the lumber yard Our love went bad, times got hard. Now I work down at the carwash, where all it ever does is rain. Don't you feel like you're a rider on a downbound train? She just said "Joe I gotta go, We had it once we ain't got it any more" She packed her bags left me behind, She bought a ticket on the Central Line. Nights as I sleep, I hear that whistle whining, I feel her kiss in the misty rain, And I feel like I'm a rider on a downbound train. Last night I heard your voice, you were crying, crying, you were so alone... You said your love had never died, You were waiting for me at home. Put on my jacket, I ran through the woods, I ran till I thought my chest would explode... There in the clearing, beyond the highway, In the moonlight, our wedding house shone. I rushed through the yard, I burst through the front door... My head pounding hard, up the stairs I climbed... The room was dark, our bed was empty, Then I heard that long whistle whine... And I dropped to my knees, hung my head and cried.. Now I swing a sledge hammer on a railroad gang ,Knocking down them cross ties, working in the rain... Now don't it feel like you're a rider on a downbound train...

Adagio ~ Slowly

I don't know where to find you... I don't know how to reach you... I hear your voice in the wind... I feel you under my skin... Within my heart and my soul... I wait for you... Adagio... All of these nights without you... All of my dreams surround you... I see and I touch your face... I fall into your embrace... When the time is right I know... You'll be in my arms... Adagio... I close my eyes and I find a way... No need for me to pray... I've walked so far... I've fought so hard... Nothing more to explain... I know all that remains... Is a piano that plays... If you know where to find me... If you know how to reach me... Before this light fades away... Before I run out of faith... Be the only man to say... That you'll hear my heart... That you'll give your life... Forever you'll stay... Don't let this light fade away... Don't let me run out of faith... Be the only man to say... That you believe, make me believe... You won't let go...

Je t'aimais, je t'aime, je t'aimerai

The heaven claims to know you, and while truly sublime, it never comes near, though I've seen it captured in your rays, The world is full of regrets, full of unfulfilled promises, but, your are the only one for which I was created I loved you, I still love you and always will. And regardless of what you do, there is love wherever you look - in the smallest recesses of space and the briefest dreams where you linger. Love - as if it poured bare onto the pebbles... Only the Light itself could erase the secret marks of my fingertips on your wrists.

Mon enfant nue sur les galets... Le vent dans tes cheveux défaits... Comme un printemps sur mon trajet... Un diamant tombé d'un coffret... Seule la lumière pourrait... Défaire nos repères secrets... Où mes doigts pris sur tes poignets... Je t'aimais, je t'aime et je t'aimerai... Quoi que tu fasses... L'amour est partout où tu regardes... Dans les moindres recoins de l'espace... Dans le moindre rêve où tu t'attardes... L'amour comme s'il en pleuvait... Nu sur les galets... Le ciel prétend qu'il te connaît... Il est si beau c'est sûrement vrai... Lui qui ne s'approche jamais... Je l'ai vu pris dans tes filets... Le monde a tellement de regrets... Tellement de choses qu'on promet... Une seule pour laquelle je suis fait... Je t'aimais, je t'aime et je t'aimerai... Quoi que tu fasses... L'amour est partout où tu regardes... Dans les moindres recoins de l'espace... Dans le moindre rêve où tu t'attardes... L'amour comme s'il en pleuvait... Nu sur les galets... On s'envolera du même quai... Les yeux dans les mêmes reflets... Pour cette vie et celle d'après... Tu seras mon unique projet... Je m'en irai poser tes portraits... A tous les plafonds de tous les palais... Sur tous les murs que je trouverai... Et juste en dessous, j'écrirai... Que seule la lumière pourrait…... Et mes doigts pris sur tes poignets... Je t'aimais, je t'aime, je t'aimerai.
