Little Black Train

God sent to Hezekiah
A message from on high
You better get your house in order
For you must surely die
He turned to the wall in weeping
We see him there in tears
He got his business fixed all right
God spared him fifteen years
There's a little black train a comin'
Fix all your business right
There's a little black train a comin'
And it could be here tonight
Go tell that ball room lady
All dressed in the worldly pride
That death's dark train is coming
Prepare to take a ride
I see that train with engine
And one small baggage car
Your idle thoughts and wicked deeds
Will stop at the judgment bar
There's a little black train a comin'
Fix all your business right
There's a little black train a comin'
And it could be here tonight
O Lord won't you please spare me
I see my wicked plight
Have mercy, Lord, upon me
Please come and set me right
Now death had fixed his shackles
Upon his chain so tight
Before he got his business fixed
The train rolled in that night
There's a little black train a comin'
Fix all your business right
There's a little black train a comin'
And it could be here tonight
There's a little black train a comin'
Fix all your business right
There's a little black train a comin'
And it could be here tonight

All My Friends

All my friends are getting around
All my friends are getting around
Working their charm all over town
Low slung moons and alleyways
Rendezvous on sunny days in the park
All my friends are getting around
All my friends are getting around
Moving north right out of town
Rumbling city left behind
Golden skin and breezy mind every day
All my friends are getting around
All my friends are getting around
Spinning tales round and round
Dinner conversations flow
As last night's reverie unfolds sleepily
All my friends are getting around x4
And what've I got to show for it
I've got you, I've got you, I've got you

Fishy

In the deepest ocean, the bottom of the sea
Lived a little fishy, swimming so free
She swam very far and she swam very long
To see the ocean far from her home
When she came back many months away
She took a ragged breath and she started to say
Swim little fishies, swim for your lives
I've seen such things it cut me like a knife
What did you see there so far away?
That set your tail a'shaking, your fins turned grey?
I saw a mighty monster all covered in steel
It's eating up the sea for a meal
Big boss groper came and his face was a scowl
Don't you go telling lies and spreading it around
Where is the proof of the things you've seen?
It don't please me so you just leave be
In the deepest ocean, the bottom of the sea
Not so many fishies swimming so free
As they swam through the smog that pollutes the air
We wish we'd listened we wish we'd cared
We wish we'd listened we wish we'd cared

My Love Flies

My love flies
Ties ceaseless bows and knots around the morning
Sings loudly from his beating elfin ribcage
He leaves a feather on my pillow
He leaves a feather on my pillow
My love wades
The water folds like silken skirts around him
Stands tall just like the reeds and paperbark trees
He leaves a feather on my pillow
He leaves a feather on my pillow
My love dives
Into the restless silence of the ocean
Neck craning after silver scales of fishes
He leaves a feather on my pillow
He leaves a feather on my pillow
My love flies
Ties ceaseless bows and knots around the morning
Sings loudly from his beating elfin ribcage
He leaves a feather on my pillow
He leaves a feather on my pillow

Oh my love
Oh my love
It's raining, it's raining on us
Are your smiles
And your touch
Enough?
Oh my love
Oh my love
When you walked in on me
With my guard down
Completely
And you told me everything I needed to hear
And you held me for what seemed like a year
So now that we're clear let's get out of here
Yeah now that we're clear let's get out of here
Now you know
Not much left to show
So let's take ourselves to the sea
Let's find
A way
To be
And we can wash away, wash away the years
And we can lie in the sun and burn off all our fears
And no one will know that the end is always near
Yeah no one will know that the end is always near
