It's that time of year again, oh its that time of year again.
It's that time of year again, oh its that time of year again.
I went to a party with a few close friends.
Everybody else I couldn't recognize.
It was October and I was sober.
Everybody was drinking. Everybody was smoking.
But, then I met your eye, oh yes I met your eye.
But, then I met your eye, oh yes I met your eye.
And I asked you to dance.
And I asked you yo dance.
And you smiled at me and you gave me your hand.
And then we danced for what seemed like a really long time.
I never got your name, but boy you made my night.
And then I walked home
And then I walked home
Wishing that I could call you on the telephone.
So, if you hear this song, I hope you think of me
and maybe we will see each other next Halloween.

Ghost Father

We met in 1965,
the year the war started.
Had a baby in '69,
got married in 72.
In 1975 I died.
But, my daughter Jenny, she stayed alive.
Yes, my daughter Jenny, she stayed alive.
Well, the years rolled on.
Jenny's Childhood turned into formative years.
She got so strong. She got so smart.
When it rained it was my proud tears.
Jenny got her degree.
I was there in the crowd when she gave her speech.

You're like my shadow on a sunny day.
You're like my pa though, so I look away.

But, your defeated by the smallest things.

You're like my shadow on the sunniest of days.
(verse 3)
Now, don't go giving your heart away.
I learned my lesson the hardest way.

You're like my shadow on the sunniest of days.

(verse 1)
You ain't you till you've had your heart broken.
You ain't you till you've had your heart taken.
Why is is true that the best kind of lovers.
are the ones that are willing to dance after you've been fucked over?
(verse 2)
You ain't you till you've had your heart taken.
You ain't you till unless you have felt your heart breaking.
Why is is true that the best kind of lovers
are the ones that romance after you've been fucked over?
(verse 3)
You ain't you till you've felt your hear breaking.
You ain't you till till you've had your heart ripped out and taken.
But, boy, its true that the best kind of lover
is the one that you meet after you've been fucked over.

(verse 1)
I saw and angel, but it was actually a devil in disguise.
I saw a trusting friend, but it was actually a trustless man in disguise.
(chorus)
So, don't trust the angel on your shoulder.
Cause, he is probably the devil in disguise.
So, don't trust the angel on your shoulder.
Cause, he is probably a devil in disguise.
So, don't trust the angel on your shoulder.
Cause, he is probably the/a devil in disguise.

Farmer's Daughter

|
(verse 1)
She was the farmer's daughter.
She had a Christian mother.
She had a father who was a farmer's son.
She was the farmer's daughter.
Had a lover ten years older.
She died when she was only 21
(chorus)
Oh, sometimes the way things go is not good at all
is not good at all.
And, Oh, the sun can shine on shadow,
but sometimes shadow casts it shadow on someone.
(verse 2)
She was the farmer's daughter.
That's what the whole town called her.
She dreamed of going farther though they said she never would.
(bridge)
Let me tell you bout' the farmer's daughter.
Her name was Jenny, not a girl out there smarter.
It's really too bad that she died so young.
At the same age I am 21.
(chorus)
Oh, sometimes the way things go is not good at all
is not good at all.
And, Oh, the sun can shine on shadow,
but sometimes shadow casts it shadow on someone.

Stone Birds Don't Fly

(verse 1)
Lori-May had a denim heart.
It kept her warm except for when it rained.
And Adalay lay on the ground.
The two used to dance all around.
Now, Adalay lay in the ground,
six feet deep.
Lori-May visits her on Saturdays,
goes to her grave and lays down next to Adalay.
(chorus)
Stone birds don't fly,
Oh, stones birds don't fly.
Oh, stone birds don't fly.
(verse 2)
Lori-May has a denim heart.
It kept her warm except for when it snowed.
And Adalay play in the snow.
The two used to live in the same home.
Now, Adalay lay in the ground
beneath the snow, deep down
Lori-May visits her even when its cold.
(chorus)
Stone birds don't fly,
Oh, stones birds don't fly.
Oh, stone birds don't fly.
(verse 1 repeated)
Lori-May had a denim heart.
It kept her warm except for when it rained.
And Adalay lay on the ground.
The two used to dance all around.
Now, Adalay lay in the ground,
six feet deep.
Lori-May visits her on Saturdays,
goes to her grave and lays down next to Adalay.
