The Parting Glass The Parting Glass Oh all the money that e'er I spent I spent it in good company And all the harm that e'er I've done Alas, it was to none but me And all the harm that e'er I've done Alas, it was to none but me And all I've done for want of wit To memory now I can't recall So fill to me the parting glass Good night and joy be with you all Oh all the comrades that e'er I've had Are sorry for my going away And all the sweethearts that e'er I've had Would wish me one more day to stay But since it falls unto my lot That I should rise and you should not I'll gently rise and I'll softly call Good night and joy be with you all...

Things That You Know Things That You Know It's been a long time since you saw your home Even those you call the closest Have slipped away somehow Feels like a lifetime you've been on the road With so many miles behind you You'd think you'd have left this world by now You've seen more than they could ever know No matter what they say You've earned the right to be so bold But this life it takes its toll on you Every face around you looks so tired and so old And you have not seen everything You have not seen everything But there are things that you know Things that you know From where you've had to go Where you've had to go Maybe soon you'll find a place To call your own To call your home You've walked a good mile in your brother's shoes 'Til your legs could walk no further And your tired soles would burn You know there's peace somewhere around the bend It's been a long time coming And you're ready for your turn And you have not seen everything You have not seen everything But there are things that you know Things that you know From where you've had to go Where you've had to go Maybe soon you'll find a place To call your own To call your home...

This Heart Of Mine This Heart Of Mine If all is fair in love and war I haven't seen the score But it can't be either of those And all this time, thought I was in control But fate she held her own Even when I thought I chose Now the coldest day of winter Has made a home of my heart It burns a cold right through me Tearing me apart When did I lose you? It feels like such a crime When did I lose all The reasons for this rhyme So many questions burning In this heart of mine A thousand memories Of when and where Four walls and a rocking chair Our story sticking to my skin A dusty wind Blows through this broken frame Echoes of your name Shadows fall and night pours in Now the coldest day of winter Has made a home of a heart Says it plans to stay forever Just like you did at the start When did I lose you? It feels like such a crime When did I lose all The reasons for this rhyme So many questions burning In this heart of mine Now the coldest day of winter Is here and here to stay And it burns a cold right through me 'Round the heart you threw away When did I lose you? It feels like such a crime When did I lose all The reasons for this rhyme So many questions burning In this heart of mine... The Wailin Jennys |
This Is Where This Is Where The wind howls 'cross the ice floes Send the frozen snow skimming A river on a river hardened over It doesn't know the way it's going Is it north or south or westward It just glides across the shoreline 'til it's over You came for me in fast forward On a claim for something ordered A way through and past the history that held you I'd tell my own story through you Tell it loud to never lose you A moth caught be the flame it could cannot measure And there we go again, wishing something bolder Trying to push and pull inside this moment Trying to mold this life within our hands This is where the whole world keeps on turning This is where we come undone...undone Will they measure me by branches Count the rings and take my ashes Mark the ground where I fell and carry on Or will we bite against the silence Fill our days with noise and violence Not recognize our hearts when we are done There we'll go again wishing something bolder Trying to push and pull inside this moment Trying to mold this life within our hands This is where the whole world keeps on turning This is where we come undone We don't know where it's going Is it north or south or westward It just glides across the shoreline 'til it's over...

Untitled Untitled To the man who lost his mind Left home for the last time They found him in the wintertime Looking for something he couldn't find They shipped him way out West Thought they'd put their minds at rest Now they've thrown the key away And there's nothing left to say Waiting for a saviour Show me you're so sad Wipe the tears that you've had Show me you're so sad To the girl who lives next door Wonders what her life is for She's waiting for her valentine To kiss her in the summertime He doesn't come and so she cries Locks her door and hopes to die Now she's thrown the key away And there's nothing left to say Waiting for a saviour Show me you're so sad Wipe the tears that you've had Show me you're so sad Now to the ones you've left behind Were they not worth your time They never heard you say goodbye They never got a reason why And here's to you who couldn't see What it was you did to me Now you've thrown it all away And there's nothing left to say And there's nothing left to say Waiting for a saviour Show me you're so sad Wipe the tears that you've had Show me you're so sad...
