Punish Me
Do I fuel my hunger deprive my dreams
Live my lonely worn out seam
Stitches weary and the scars they leave
Im the only one deceived
Please stand clear from the blast
As I purge demons from my past
Dont aspire to relieve
Do your worst and punish me
So I run fast I can
Die tomorrow half a man
Finish the story she said to me
I cant sit here and watch you bleed
Please stand clear from the blast
As I purge demons from my past
Dont aspire to relieve
Do your worst and punish me
Do I fuel my hunger deprive my dreams
Live my lonely worn out seam
Stitches weary and the scars they leave
Im the only one deceived

Prayer To St. Peter
Let them in peter for they are very tired give them couches where the angels sleep and light those fires let them wake whole again to brand new dawns fired by the sun not war-times
Dy guns may their peace be deep remember where the broken bodies lie god knows how young they were to have to die give them things they like let them make some noise give dance hal
Ds not golden harps to these our boys let them love peter for they've had no time they should have bird songs and trees and hills to climb the taste of summer and a ripened pear
Irls sweet as meadow wind and flowing hair and tell them how they are missed but say not to fear it's gonna be all right with us down here

Kentucky
The night before your wedding,
I dreamed what I would say,
Id beg you for forgiveness,
For all the mess Ive made.
I dreamed that you were gracious,
I dreamed you wished me well,
I dreamed that you were vicious,
You damned me straihgt to hell.
Chorus
But, oh, sweet kentucky
No matter where I land
I was just a boy for you
And he will be your man.
I was just a boy for you
And he will be your man.
Id tell you that Im lonely,
And fame has let me down,
Living like a stranger,
Traveling town to town.
And all my aspirations,

Letter To My Mother
Edwin McCain
Letter To My Mother
But theres a woman that we dont even know
She gave me life, then you gave me a home
I love you, Mama
But I want to tell her too
Is that her little boy still loves you
I close my eyes, does she look like me
Does she need my help, is she cold on the street
Am I forgotten like a bad childhood dream
A B-movie actor on the black and white screen
I love you, Mama
But I want to tell her too
Is that her little boy still loves you
Is that her little boy still loves you
Could I have seen her, Ill never know
Maybe shes always been there watching me grow
I wanted to tell her how grateful I am
For giving me life, Ive done the best that I can
I love you, Mama

Save The Rain
When you feel locked in and you feel left out
And you don't know if your face fits in the crowd
When you've made mistakes and your conscience shakes
And you don't know what belief is all about
Chorus:
A paper moon that turns to gray
Will save the rain from yesterday
The summer snow that melts away
Will save the rain
When you've hoped for more and you're left unsure
And you know that there's no time to work it out
Then the doorbell rings you forget those things
And you know you'll have to find your own way out
(Chorus)
And when the sun comes out to play
I'll save the rain from yesterday
When I've run out of things to say
I'll save the rain
Save the rain
(Chorus)

See The Sky Again
Whispered from my heart and soul to my unwilling eyes
Lift my vision from the ground lift it to the sky
Skies they used to be so ugly rain that stings my face
Opens up their glory just earth and sky and space
And your passionate embraces absolve me of my sin
Your life lifts me up so I can see
See the sky again
And Ive lived through all the flash-fire set off like lightening spark
Yes they burn so brightly and oh they burn so hot
And these fantasies of all our love tearing at the ground
Wrapped up in the vortex of sweat and sex and sound
And your passionate embraces absolve me of my sin
Your life lifts me up so I can see, see the sky again
Hide me
From the love Im too scared to send
Hide me
til I see the sky again
And your passionate embraces absolve me of my sin
Your life lifts me up so I can see
See the sky again

Holy City
Midnight in the holy city
Playground for restless souls
Graveyards for the sons of ft. sumpter
And the ghostly daughters
Wait for their boys to come home
Moonlight in the holy city
So thick it warms the air
Burned my heart on a sweet southern flame
Like a hug from your mama saying it will be ok
Spilt my blood, in the holy city
Seen the flood of a thousand rains
I ran away from the holy city
Heard the spirits in the steeple singing
Youll be back again
Sunrise in the holy city
The kings and queens shuffle by
Im born here of my own ashes
Just lay me down here when I die
Spilt my blood, in the holy city
Seen the flood of a thousand rains

Anything Good About Me
Rolled in last night to the dawn, the porch, and both our floodlights no excuse but we were having such a good time why, oh why cant I just walk the straight and narrow so ashamed b

Tried, but could not get through all these calls to warn you of my scoundrel heart but these walls and still they cant keep us apart chorus and I promise to take care and love you
You promise to keep seeing anything good about me . and I swear sometimes theres asphalt running through my veins and let me go and never ever pull my reins and Ill return with cuts
Ruises scarred but smarter lick my wounds and try again but twice as hard chorus

I'll Be
The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful stop me and steal my breath emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky never revealing their depth tell me that we belong together
dress it up with the trappings of love I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above I'll be your cryin' shoulder I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older I'll be the greatest fan of your life rain falls angry on the tin roof as we lie awake in my bed you're my survival, you're my living proof my love is alive
and not dead tell me that we belong together dress it up in the trappings of love i'll be captivated, i'll hang from your lips instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above choru
I've dropped out, burned up, fought my way back from the dead tuned in, turned on, remembered the thing you said chorus
