He so old today he tried
 To remember how it felt to be five
 And a half at the edge of a sandbox Shipwrecks, castles, and warlocks
 Secretly hoping for chickenpox
 So you could stay in home from school
 Wouldn’t that be cool
 And you wouldn’t have to get it when you’re older He so old today he thought about
 All that stuff he shouldn’ta bought Like that shitty wind-up radio Nothing like the one he made in ’42 With his dad, a 1st world war veteran Or that sinister cat Why did I buy that
 I was right, it didn’t make me happy There came a time when he saw his life as he grew older
 As pictures laid out in the dust
 Put em all together one stitch at a time
 A little out of line saying
 Can you remember that day
 There were thirteen crows on our apple tree You said, “Tell me whatca think about that” He so old he looked around
 Imagining his world as upside-down Books falling onto the ceiling
 Huge step over the doorframe
 A daughter who would never say his name A son who wouldn’t call
 Winter walking at the mall
 Lucky that’s not now it happened He so old he took my hand 
Said, “Hunny, I’ll have you understand” There’s only two ways in this world to be You’ve got to be kind and you’ve got to be free I didn’t always do that so take it from me 
I have no complaints 
I’ll take it up with the Saints
 If in the end they let me into Heaven

Think Of Me 03:08
Think of me once in the daytime Think of me twice at night
 Think of me while you’re sleeping Can’t you see Can’t you see what you’ve done to me Bridge under troubled water Door slam never had the key I click my heals three times Can’t you see Can’t you see how it feels to me Do you do the things you do
 When you haven’t got a soul to tell em to Little white lie, little white lie
 I forgot how to be
 You forgot about me Think of me once in the daytime Call my name out twice at night Dream of me while you’re sleeping Can’t believe Can’t believe what you’ve done to me

Well we had a little fun but was it worth The heartache and the heartbreak
 All the stolen time
 Walk into a train wreck knowing all the time Carnage and wreckage And gruesome images 
Every time that you came onto me Don’t need to think about it now Who have I been
 I pulled the wool over my eyes Why am I surprised Oh I should have known
 Oh I should have known and I Came down hard and Came down fast There ain’t any part of this that’s gonna last
 Change my vows
 Change my dues Spend a little time in another girls‘ shoes Have I told you that I’ve been feeling scared Worrying I was lying 
Faking not trying
 Afraid of having to face what I’ve found
 Haven’t been the kind of girl that I want around I pulled the wool over my eyes Why am I surprised Oh I should have known
 Oh I should have known

O Rainy Day 03:49
O Rainy Day Where do you go When the West wind wild and wicked Blows clouds in full of snow Head to your harbour Do you set your sails for home You can paint the landscape later Once the chill's gone from your bones O Rainy Day
 On a summer afternoon
 With the sun so bright and livid It’s mockery to you
 Run to the water’s edge
 Your blue breeze disappears You can paint horizons later Mixing pigment in your tears O Rainy Day
 Will you watercolour me
 I’m feeling pale and portly Only rain will rescue me
 Drop by drop in orange
 Oar by oar in blue
 You can paint the surface later Rainy day see me through

Scott Free 03:24
How was your day How I’ve missed you Come to bed with me Turn out the light Tomorrow morning
 I am keeping you Your name in every breath and I say Oo
 Your fingers at my breast and I say Oo Will I ever know you Babe it’s late
 You had me worried
 Tell me what’s on your mind I toss and turn 
Something isn’t right
 You won’t say anything When the cops show up 
Oo
 Sixteen years don’t mean much Oo Did I ever know you? What if I stayed?
 What if I waited?
 What if you get off Scott free? We could pretend
 We could forget it
 Lord I can’t think straight Now your face 
In every memory 
I don’t know what it looks like Was it real?
 Were we happy?
 I’m selling everything When the cops show up 
Oo
 Sixteen years don’t mean much Oo I’m selling everything
