about

From "Songs From Abroad" (2014)

lyrics

I'm on my fourth stage of the night
And I ain't nearly done yet
My mind is writing all of the songs,
While my body plays the set
My eyes are moving back and forth,
Measuring the space
Searching the shadow of the crowd
For an unmistakeable face

Nobody can follow me
Way down that darkened street
I'm headed to the crossroads in my mind
Where heaven and the devil meet
If you want to save me, darling,
If you want to save my soul
Just keep me warm in bed and put
A bit of sugar in my bowl

I'M ON FIRE
I AM STONE
WIND AND WATER
SHAKE AND MOAN
