CAN'T GET ANY PEACE
When they gonna leave that poor man alone
and stop looking at his life and take a look at their own?
I was around to see the tears in his eyes,
I watched that poor man curl up and die
Now he’s dead in his grave and still he Can’t Get Any Peace
I want to grow like a tree on a riverside
Change like a rock on a riverside
Flow like the water that’s going by
So this is the way that it’s gonna end,
I saw it in the beginning but I didn’t say anything then
He was dying while he was alive,
He was dying while he was still alive
Now he’s dead in his grave and still he Can’t Get Any Peace

GOLDEN THRONE
Once I thought I was some kind of king
Wore a crown and a pinky ring but now,
I’m not so very certain
Once I thought, yes I think too much
About everything I see and what I don’t touch,
I do believe, I do believe, it is killing me
Make no mistakes when you have found your home
You don’t need a Golden Throne
Once I thought I could live alone
Build a palace out of little stones
Now I see, oh now I see the curtain’s coming down on me
Once I thought I was some kind of king
I wore a crown and a pinky ring but now,
I’m not so very certain
Make no mistakes when you have found your home,
You don’t need a Golden Throne
Once I thought I was some kind of king
Now I don’t think anything

LOOK-ALIKE
The sheriff in this town just won’t leave me be
He pulls my car over every time that he sees me
I’ve done no wrong, ain’t driving drunk
I’ve got nothing illegal inside of my trunk
There must be a Look-Alike here
I’m afraid you have got the wrong man
Some drunk dude at the local saloon
I don’t know him but he says that I do
He’s got two bashed eyes and three missing teeth
And he thinks that the reason is me
There must be a Look-Alike here
I’m afraid you have got the wrong man
Oh so many people in the world
There’s gotta be a Look-Alike every now and again
Oh so many people in the world
There’s gotta be a Look-Alike every once in a while
Pretty city girl, won’t you please tell me why (tell me why)
You slap my face every time I go by?
You say that I’m mean to you, you say that I’m cruel (so cruel)
I can’t say that I know you but I sure would like to
There must be a Look-Alike here,
I’m afraid you have got the wrong man
I’m afraid you have got the wrong man

RED ROSE CITY
Lonely on a frosty fall day
All petals have fallen since you’ve gone away
Time and time again it always turns out this way
You leave back to the Red Rose City
And so I sit alone inside of my room
The fire won’t warm me, no entertainment will do
People everywhere but I’ve got no one to talk to
You’ve gone back to the Red Rose City
Back to the Red Rose City
There is some place in this world I’m trying to find,
I can’t put it in words but I see it so clear in my mind
Someday when I’ve saved up some cash
When the spring time's a-bloomin’ and the cold dark winter has passed
I'll hop in my car and I'll put my foot down on the gas
At last I’ll be in the Red Rose City
I’ll be in the Red Rose City
I’ll be in the Red Rose City

RIVER RISING
I’m a voyager, I close my eyes and surprise I am gone
A good part of the day has slipped away before I return
River Rising, it’s almost at my feet
Where do you go in the night? There is nobody that knows
I heard the other day somebody say they saw you wearing no clothes
River Rising, it’s almost at my feet
I’m a voyager, I close my eyes and I never come back
River Rising

LEAVING TOMORROW
Summer has aged into fall
Your leaves they’ve scattered but not them all
With a big black bag I collect what’s left
But time has left me with a mess again
If spring time ever comes again
You’ll be wrapped in your own end
No map I’ve got could help you out
When the only certainty is doubt
I know you’re Leaving Tomorrow
But please, please come back again
Circle the sun and you’ll come alive
We’ll be one, yes we will thrive
Meet the moon when it hits the fields
And you will feel our forces heal together
I know you’re Leaving Tomorrow
But please, please come back my friend
Tick, tick, ticking away everyday
But oh tell me a reason
Or find me five faces please,
That won’t age with the seasons
I know you’re Leaving Tomorrow
But please, please come back again
