Gotta throw back another Jim Beam baby
Gotta get close to your side
Tomorrow there'll be lots of drivin'
But I'll get there smilin' wide

You told me I was somethin' special
For you I thought the same
Stayin' here for lots of foolish reasons
Gotta see your smile again

Oh
Lying here awake and lie-in here
Lying here awake
Lying here awake and lie-in here
Lying here awake

If I could get up off this saggin' bed
My friends are kind enough to lend
I could get there as your sun is shinin'
But I can barely lift my head

These pretty ideas always hittin' late
The cocktail hour has knocked me down
Wonder if anothers' fancy lyin'
Has lured you off to paint the town

Oh
Lying here awake and lie-in here
Lying here awake
Lying here awake and lie-in here
Lying here awake
Hesitation

Maybe it's best if I just stay here thinkin'
And watch the hours tumble by
Like to feel your weight upon my hip dear
Wonder if it's all a lie

Oh
Lying here awake and lie-in here
Lying here awake
Lying here awake and lie-in here
Lying here awake
Hesitation

I don't live too well with secrets
Too much force to keep them down
Wasn't meant to have this bundle
Tied down close by my side
Tied down close by my side

Keep lookin' 'round my shoulder
Case the knot It doesn't stay
One day you're sure to notice
My eyes beggin' to betray
Eyes beggin' to betray

No one's thought to ask me
'Bout the secrets in my head
An unlocked door reminds me Of this
constant pulsing dread

This bomb is clicking loudly now
It's louder than my heart
That screams for your attention
I tire of this part
Tire of this part

No one's thought to ask me
'Bout the secrets in my head
An unlocked door reminds me Of this
constant pulsing dread

I pray for the explosion
Maybe trip up on a lie
Can't watch the slow erosion
Of my thoughts I'd rather die
Thoughts I'd rather die

No one's thought to ask me
About the secrets in my head
An unlocked door reminds me Of this
constant pulsing dread
Constant pulsing dread

IN DEEP words and music by Deanna Varagona me: acoustic guitar, voice, marimba Charles Kim: electric guitar sounds Dennis Cronin: trumpet Taken from album Tangled Messages

In deep and he clings besides her
Afraid she might slip away
In deep and he clings besides her
Afraid she might wanna stray
Hearin' winds calling her
Calling her

He used to be so independant
Never stopped to turn his head
Used to be so independant
Now he dwells on what she said
Hearing winds calling her
Calling her

Take a step
Take a step
Take a step
Away from this

He thinks of things that he'll do for her
Every minute they're apart
He thinks of things that he'll do for her
When they're together In the dark
Hearing winds calling her
Calling her

Well, sun sets down and She sits with him
Restin' , from a tired day
Sun sets down and She sits with him
Wonderin' what she's gotta say
Hearing winds calling her
Calling her

Take a step
Take a step
Take a step
Away from her
Shake my head
Shake my head
Shake my head

Days Pass Anyway
There doesn't seem Time to talk
At least that's how it feels
When I can't Open my mouth To speak
Silence makes me whince
As I look blindly around
But nothin' Fills the space Ahead

Feelings Rush on in
Love overwhelmes
The days Pass Anyway

Wonder why Sometimes it's hard
To reach out And touch the hand
Of those you love And want to stay

Feeling rush on in
Love overhwhelms
The days Pass Anyway

I quess it's all 'Spose to be
A slower pace Than what we want
A tangled message
Memory

Feeling' rush on in
Love overwhelms
The days Pass Anyway

Sun sinkin' slowly
The shadows grow long
And she kept on waiting
For years since you've gone
Familier footsteps
The turn of a key
You're brushin' your hair back
To look straight at me

Running so long
Running so long
Running so long
Running so long

Ears pick up gently
The breeze of your laugh
But I can't help wonderin'
What's left of this path
'Cause your heart grew fondly
For the girl lingering there
But I can't help wonderin'
What drove you from there

Running so long
Running so long
Running so long
Running so long

Warm hand on my shoulder
I turn twords your smile
The strength of your comfort
Will bade for a while
Lips start to mention
My worries and then
As fear lifts it's head up
I'm silent again
Running so long
Running so long
Running so long
Running so long

Looks out her window
Her eyes are cast down
She waits for the good times
When you'll come to town
Don't think that he knows me
The life that we share
I weep for us solely
As you linger here

Running so long
Running so long
Running so long
Running so long

He walked up
To her door
In a town without a name
A memory
He'll never shake away

In a note
Hung clearly
For everyone to see
Take my shovel
Lie me safetly in my grave

The angels
Rose swiftly
And fell into the night
He shuttered
And turned the doornob right
And as the door bent open
He lingered for a while
Tried to block the horror building in his mind

OH Lie me safetly in my grave
OH Lie me safetly in my grave

He took careful steps
Down her tattered hallway floor
And with each one the wood called out in pain

Seems like eternity
He finally drew a breath
Thought he heard her voice among the walls so plain
Thought he heard her voice among the walls so plain

OH Lie me safetly in my grave
OH Lie me safetly in my grave

A cold chill of night
Ran from the open door
It was then he saw her body on the floor

Her hand clutched a silver dagger
Plunged into her heart
The spark left from her eyes forever more
The spark left from her eyes forever more

OH Lie me safetly in my grave
OH Lie me safetly in my grave

He walked up
To her door
In a town without a name
A memory He'll never shake away

You look sad ,He said
But she was just tired of tryin' to push things his way

You look sad,She said
But he was just thinkin' how words sometimes get in the way

Hold on
And let 'em
Hide awhile
In their clouds
Of ingnorant bliss

Hold on
And let 'em
Push back the days
Of another
Goodbye Kiss
Goodbye Kiss

You look pretty
He said
'Cause he had been wondering
If another
Had turned her head

Well you're a sweet one
To me
And moved a bit closer
To rest
Her hand On his knee

Hold on
And let 'em
Hide awhile
In their clouds
Of ingnorant bliss

Hold on
And let 'em
Push back the days
Of another
Goodbye Kiss
Goodbye Kiss

He squeezed her hand
And smiled
And thought of the others
That had pleased him
And lain in his bed

She leaned towards him
And smiled
And took the small comfort
In the songs
Playin' inside

Hold on
And let 'em
Hide awhile
In their clouds
Of ingnorant bliss

Hold on
And let 'em
Push back the days
Of another
Goodbye Kiss
Goodbye Kiss

What an empty house. Empty house
Full of people,brimmin'
Not knowing what to say
Spewing letters anyway

I watch my Kay from across the room
It demands nothing, Glistening
It seems it had a name
But I forgot it

Watchin' me?
What about it?
Are you learning anything?
Doubt it
Or Maybe I am
All that obvious?
Naked

Blink once and mention nothing
The hours ran away
No knowing how to pay
Spewing bills anyway

Watchin' me?
What about it?
Are you learning anything?
Doubt it
Or Maybe I am
All that obvious?
Naked

Crack the window open
Let some outside in, Barely
It seems there was a thought
But I forgot it, Forgot it

Watchin' me?
What about it?
Are you learning anything?
Doubt it
Or Maybe I am
All that obvious?
Naked, To you now

Blue Blue, blue, blue
Enters my life again
Blue, blue, blue
If you came a bit closer
You could smell it

You can't see it
You can't see it
You can't see it
You can't see it

Blue, blue, blue
Come a little closer
Blue, blue, blue again
There now can you smell it

You can't see it
You can't see it
You can't see it
You can't see it
