1.Blackbird
Blackbird she's flying an old dusty road
she follows her heart, a promise of gold
who lights her way one star at a time？
where will she sleep tonight？
Day is long, river's wide
I'll empty my pockets on the other side
Rock-a-bye baby how sweet the night
Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye
Over the mountains angels do sing
Stories they tell of how they got their wings
I hear their voices line after line
Or is it the wind in the pine？
Day is long, river's wide
I'll empty my pockets on the other side
Rock-a-bye baby how sweet the night
Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye
Just like the blackbird, one beautiful day
Heaven will call me to come fly away
Who'll light my way one star at a time？
Where will I sleep that night？
Day is long, river's wide
I'll empty my pockets on the other side
Rock-a-bye baby how sweet the night
Rock-a-bye, rock-a-bye

3.Follow Me Down
I will melt like snow on your tongue
And I will hold you like nobody's done
And I will whisper the world undone
Just follow me down
Follow me down, follow me down
Follow me down
Lay your head into my hands
You been found
And I'll pull down the shades of time
And I'll kiss every star in your mind
And I'll be the night just to see you shine
Just follow me down
Follow me down, follow me down
Follow me down
Rest your long divided heart
You're home now
4.White Dove
In the deep rolling hills of Virginia
There's a place I love so well
Where I spent many days of my childhood
In a cabin where we loved to dwell
White dove will mourn in sorrow
The willows will hang their heads
I'll live my life in sorrow
Since mother and daddy are dead
We were all so happy there together
In our peaceful little mountain home
But the Savior needs angels up in heaven
Now they sing around the great white throne
White dove will mourn in sorrow
The willows will hang their heads
I'll live my life in sorrow
Since mother and daddy are dead
As the years go by I often wonder
Will we all be together someday？
And at night as I wander through the graveyard
Darkness finds me where I kneel to pray
White dove will mourn in sorrow
The willows will hang their heads
I'll live my life in sorrow
Since mother and daddy are dead
5.Like This
If someone asks you
how the satisfaction of
all our longings look like
lift your face and say 'like this'
If someone mentions
the night sky's gracefulness
climb up on the roof
dance like this
If someone wonders
how Jesus raised the dead
don't try to explain
just kiss me on the lips like this
I'm a sky where spirit lives
stare into the deepening blue
while the breeze tells to you
secrets like this
When someone talks about
how the moon's undressed by the clouds
slowly loosen knot by knot
strings of your robe just like this
When someone asks you
what it means to
die for love just
point here like this
6.Illumination
In blue moonlight
stars burn and slide
and catch in tangles of her hair
with fireflies
She tears the pages
of books you have saved
and builds them into paper boats
and lets them float away
A photo begun
illumination
a story come undone
so close your eyes
and you'll see why
illumination time
Float paper on the river
let words disappear
the beating of a thousand red wings
can you hear？
7.When the Angels Call My Name
No more crying
No more pain
No more dying
When the angels call my name
No more sorrow
No more I'll roam
No more tomorrow
When the angels lead me home
No more grieving
No more fear
No more needing
When the angels draw me near
No more crying
No more pain
No more dying
When the angels call my name
8.Blue-Eyed Girl
Rambling around this old one horse town
twilight has faded the music away
another new bed, stars overhead
are they the same stars asleep where you lay？
Oh my girl, come to me my blue-eyed girl
Oh my girl, come to me my darlin girl
The road is a ribbon that cannot be tied
miles of new faces I've already seen
tonight the highway leads back to you
that long lonely ribbon a far away dream
Oh my girl, come to me my blue-eyed girl
Oh my girl, come to me my darlin girl
Oh my girl, come to me my blue-eyed girl
9.One Morning In May
When I was a young girl, I used to seek pleasure
When I was a young girl, I used to drink ale
Out of the alehouse and into a jailhouse
Right out of the barroom and into my grave
Come papa, come mama and sit you down by me
Come sit you down me and pity my case
My poor head is aching, my sad heart is breaking
My body's salivated and I'm bound to die
Oh send for the preacher to come and pray for me
And send for the doctor to heal all my wounds
My poor head is aching, my sad heart is breaking
My body's salivated and hell is my doom
I want three young ladies to bear up coffin
I want four young ladies to carry me on
And each of them carry a bunch of wild roses
To lay on my coffin as I pass along
One morning, one morning, one morning in May
I saw this young lady all wrapped in white linen
All wrapped in white linen and cold as the clay
10.I'll Wait
A paper thin sky rolls above me
the color of a dirty old dime
shot through with airplanes and telephone wires
and electric neon signs
It's four in the morning in the city
and the red brick is shadowed to brown
and the tin cans and the footfalls and the plastic bags
make a restless hollow sound
I'll wait when dreams don't come easy
and the night is sleepless and long
without you I'm going crazy
I'll wait for you to come home
Tar paper curls at the edges
on the rooftop where memories are hid
and I whisper your sweet name to the winter sun
steam rising from my lips
If I could fold the umbrella
of time that keeps us apart
I'd let the rain forever fall on my face
to be once more in your arms
I'll wait when dreams don't come easy
and the night is sleepless and long
without you I'm going crazy
I'll wait for you to come home
11.It's Better to Be Alone
They say every meeting ends in parting
And that endings are enfolded in every starting
Until someone thinks it's worth that just to hold me in their
arms
It's better to be alone than to be lonely
It's better to just close the door
Than to always be left needing more
It's better to feel the tears
than feel you gone when you're here
It's better to be alone than to be lonely
Desire is so bitter-sweet
My heart between your teeth
Leaving now is better than leaving slowly day by day
It's better to be alone than to be lonely
It's better to just close the door
Than to always be left needing more
It's better to feel the tears
than feel you gone when you're here
It's better to be alone than to be lonely
12.Going Across the Mountain
13.Reuben's Train
Oh Reuben's coming down the track and he's got his throttle back
and the rails are a carryin' him from home
If the boiler don't bust cause it's eat up with rust
I'll soon be a long way from home
If you don't believe I'm gone, look at the train I'm on
you can hear the whistle blow a thousand miles
I'm going down the track I ain't never coming back
and I'll never get no letter from my home
Well the train run so fast 'til I knowed it couldn't last
for the wheels was a burnin' up the rail
Old Reuben had a wreck and it broke old Reuben's neck
but it never hurt no hair on my head.
I got myself a blade, laid Reuben in the shade
I'm starting me a graveyard of my own
Oh me, oh my, I'm starting me a graveyard of my own
14.Romans
Well yes I guess it's true
I'm not as good as some of you
I may never wear a wedding dress of white
And you may think you know my worth
you keep his books down here on earth
and you know the cost of that heavenly flight
You may think you know the plan
that you're the judge at his right hand
you know His will, His wisdom, and His way
You think you'll stand by old Saint Peter
and whisper, 'No not that one either.
Just trust me and do as I say.'
But vengeance is mine said the Lord
I do believe that means that vengeance isn't yours
To heaven your vanity clings
But you can't hide your pride in angels' wings
You may think you have the right
that you are bathed in holy light
that you know who is lost and who is saved
But you can't know that holy mind
or know to Him which child's divine
or on whose heart the light of glory is emblazed
But vengeance is mine said the Lord
I do believe that means that vengeance isn't yours
To heaven your vanity clings
But you can't hide your pride in angels' wings
15.Darlin' Don't You Know That's Wrong
Darlin don't you know that's wrong
Darlin don't you know that's wrong
You love another woman and you don't love me
Darlin don't you know that's wrong
Can't get along with you
Can't get along with you
Work for my money, give it all to you
What else can a poor girl do？
Can't get a letter from home
Can't get a letter from home
Train's on the track, I can't get it back
Can't get a letter from home
Who's gonna shoe your feet
who's gonna glove your little hands
who's gonna kiss your rosy red cheeks
when I'm in a foreign land？
Papa's gonna shoe your feet
mama's gonna glove your little hand
her baby's gonna kiss your rosy red cheek
when I'm in a foreign land
Darlin don't you know that's wrong
Darlin don't you know that's wrong
You love another woman and you don't love me
Darlin don't you know that's wrong
16.Tonight You're Gonna Lose Me
Sometimes a kiss will make you see
what is and what used to be
so when he asks me 'is it alright？'
I know that you're gonna lose me tonight
Tonight you're gonna lose me
I want so that I can hardly see
and I'll be wrong and you'll be right
but you're gonna lose me tonight
My own heart I once thought I knew
I never thought that I could be untrue
but the way he looks into my eyes
I know that you're gonna lose me tonight
Chorus
Tonight you're gonna lose me
I want so that I can hardly see
and I'll be wrong and you'll be right
but you're gonna lose me tonight
There are things no one wants to say
when the tide of love pulls away
but this empty feeling I can't hide
and I know you're gonna lose me tonight
Tonight you're gonna lose me
I want so that I can hardly see
and I'll be wrong and you'll be right
but you're gonna lose me tonight
