Train Song (Paler Shade of Grey)

I try to recall what it was you said to me just then
but this train keeps on rocking me back to sleep
and I fear come tomorrow I won't even remember your name

I'd make myself remember
Make myself recall
but these promises and these vows I made you now
seem to have no voice at all
The color of the canyons
When first it was said I love you
But these colors and these canyons
now all seem silly and small
I don't understand at all
how these colors in my memory just fade
into such a pale shade of grey

and cold rails remind me of your cold feet
and my eyes expect to see you behind every door
but when I shut my eyes
I can't even recall what it is that you wore
My god was that only yesterday
I can't even remember your face
I feel so far away

I make myself remember
Make myself recall
but these promises and these vows I made you now
seem to have no voice at all
The color of the canyons
When first it was said I love you
But these colors and these canyons
now all seem silly and small
I don't understand at all
how these colors in my memory just fade away
into such a pale shade of grey

*I say to myself My god I used to love him
I wanted to share with him my womb and my world
But now I stare at him as though through a glass wall
I say I used to love him but now I feel nothing for him at all
My god how could this be
Won't you please explain this to me

Now sleep sings to me in a sweet and urgent voice
And I fear that I have no choice but to forget these flowers
these daisies you gave me, the offerings you made me
the vows that we swore by, swearing we'd be together
always and forever, the children we named and now we'll never have
and I know I'm supposed to meet you
I don't even think I'll remember your name tomorrow

I make myself remember
Make myself recall
but these promises and these vows I made you now
seem to have no voice at all
The color of the canyons
When first it was said I love you
But these colors and these canyons
now all seem silly and small
I don't understand at all
how these colors in my memory just fade away
into such a pale shade of grey

The Man Who's Already Gone

There's a man gonna have you if he can
But he don't want to wait, he's gone home
Passion in his hands, the desires of a man
Strung by the laces of his shoes
And Tuesday's another town
And Wednesday's hanging round
But Thursday don't want to see him anymore
Cause he can hold you
He can love you
But he won't be thinkin of you
He's the man who's already gone
There's a man gonna love you if he can
But he don't know which way he's gonna run
Daddy said go ahead, he said well you never can tell
which way the wind is gonna blow
because hearts may come and hearts may go
But you can't follow scent if it's cold
Cause he can hold you he can haunt you
But he won't be thinking of you
Cause he's the man who's already gone
Don't roam
It's a long road
It's a long road with no place to go
There's a man gonna have you if he can
But he don't know which way he's gonna roam.

The New Wild West

You see the ghost of the buffalo moving both fierce and slow
Like glittering prophesies on the edge of the horizon
As you drive glittering highways and beaten-up byways
That straddle and girdle our great and many-faced nation
You see the lambs in the ghettos who worship their Gepettos
Believing in, never seeing, the strings they think bind them
So we write to our congressmen with bleeding pens of the sorrow within
And in return, they just send tickets to the latest Tom Hanks show

Welcome to the new wild west
Each man for himself
A nation of civilized steeples
And lonely people
Welcome to the new wild west

There are so many factions and cue-card reactions
It's hard to keep clear the possibilities here 'cause there's no force to unite them
Privilege has ruled for thousands of years
Wars have been fought with bibles and tears
Yet liberation can't deny the temptation and soon becomes the oppressor
Show me a leader who's fit to lead
Who don't sow his seed in anything wounded enough to breed
Because after all, what fun is power if you can't act like a rock star?

Welcome to the new wild west
Each man for himself
A nation of civilized steeples
And lonely people
Welcome to the new wild west

As for me, I've been petty
Oh, and unkind, but I know my own mind
And since it seems clear there's no one leading us here
The only thing left it appears is to task ourselves to be better each time, than those before us
We'll be an army of thieves, of self-freed slaves, of mild-mannered maids
We'll fight with whispers and blades
So get ready, a new day is dawning

Welcome to the new wild west
Each man for himself
A nation of civilized steeples
And lonely people
Welcome to the new wild west

Till We Run Out Of Road

It's leavin' time again
I'm headed out with all my friends
It's a roll of the dice
I've never thought twice about the way I've been spending my time
Trying my guts out for every dime
Working in an office building tall
Don't know who's next to you at all
But being out here
The blood, the guts, the beer is a test
Only time will tell
Brings you close, man
Closer than hell

We're leaving, we're leaving again
Can't recall where all we've been
Guess we'll just go
Go till we're too old
Or we run out of road

The other day I talked to Lou
He quit back in '92
Says he misses it bad
Those were the best times we ever had
He said, "Give it hell till the end
'Cause once you quit you can't get it back again"

We're leaving, we're leaving again
Can't recall where all we've been
Guess we'll just go
Go till we're too old
Or we run out of road

Expensive cabs and shitty food
Washed down with cancelled flights
Missed wake-up calls
Missed holidays
You miss your boy and wife
All the late night drives that cause the dawn to strike you like a knife
Hey man, this is a beautiful life

We're leaving, we're leaving again
Can't recall where all we've been
Guess we'll just go
Go till we're too old
Or we run out of road

This Way

Love be still
Love be sweet
Don't you dare
Change a thing
I want to photograph you with my mind
To feel how I feel now all the time

Say that you'll stay
Forever this way
Forever and forever
That we'll never have to change
Don't move
Don't breathe
Don't change
Don't leave
And promise me
Say you'll stay
We'll stay
This way

I get afraid
Don't think ahead
Let's just stay
This way in bed
Feels so good inside your arms
Home is everywhere that you are

Say that you'll stay
Forever this way
Forever and forever
That we'll never have to change
Don't move
Don't breathe
Don't change
Don't leave
And promise me
Say you'll stay
We'll stay
This way

Don't move
Don't breathe
Don't change
Don't leave
Promise me
We'll always be
This kind, this sweet
This good to me
Promise me
You'll always be

Say that you'll stay
Forever this way
Forever and forever
That we'll never have to change
Don't move
Don't breathe
Don't change
Don't leave
And promise me
Say you'll stay
We'll stay
This way

The Other Woman
Jewel became enamored by this song after hearing the Nina Simone versions, which were recorded for her 1966 Phillips LP "Let It All Out."
Written by: Jesse Mae Robinson
Featured: June 25, 2002 This Way Tour - Oakdale Theater, Wallingford, CT

The other woman
finds time to manicure her nails
The other woman
is perfect where her rival fails
And she's never seen with pin curls in her hair anywhere

The other woman
Enchantes her clothes with French perfume
The other woman
Keeps fresh cut flowers in each room
There are never toys that's scattered everywhere

And when her baby comes to call
He'll find her waiting like a lonesome queen
Cause when she's by his side
It's such a change from old routine

But the other woman
Will always cry herself to sleep
The other woman
Will never ever have his love to keep
And as the years go by the other woman
Will spend her life She'll spend her life alone

A Thousand Miles Away

It's morning time, wonder where you are
wonder who you're talking to
wonder if the sun has risen where you are
it's morning time, i miss your hands on my skin
this bed's too big without you
oh god, what do i do?
I'm a thousand miles away, and I'm lying next to you.

The sun shines golden, and I feel like my car
a little run down, a little beat up, maybe just a little green
maybe it's my battery, maybe it's my starter,
maybe my heart's too weak
there's just this feeling, thought I had to get going
got too scary, got too big, got to get out of here
but now i don't know how to get home.
oh god, what do I do?
I'm a thousand miles away, and lying next to you.

Mama says take my vitamins,
daddy says "girl, don't stay out so late"
sister says "there's other fishes in the sea"
but love is not a rational thing, and my heart is beyond advice
no, love is not a rational thing
oh god, what do I do?
I'm a thousand miles away, and lying next to you.

these fields stretch out like patchwork, on my granny's quilt
she used to tell me that
"life is a series of strange and mysterious things
one minute you think you're up, the next you find you're down"
your mind says "girl, you gotta stick around"
but your heart says "I'm too weak in the knees"
oh god, what do I do?
I'm a thousand miles away, and lying next to you.

Tiny Love Spaces

I don't care if you leave your name after the beep.
Don't care if those are promises you intend to keep.
Cause lovers are just shadows that disappear with the light
And my happiness don't depend on if you come tonight.
Ahoh-oh oh

I don't think that you're cheap
I don't expect anything
You don't gotta leave what time you called on my machine.
Cause being in love just means calling places
when you can't afford the bill
Cause we all got these tiny love spaces that we need to fill
Ohoh oo

Filling up tiny love spaces
Getting lost inside of insatiable mazes
Looking for heroes in worn-out faces
Looking for a great big love in tiny places

You wake up, it's the next morning
Put my high-powered columbian crystals in the coffee machine
Read the newspaper, drink six cups of cofee, listen to Mozart's Fifth
Do most anything not to hear the phone ring
Oh oo ooooo

And I don't mind that you're emotionally blind
Don't care if I'm someone you want to see
You don't got to leave your number for me.
Cause I do not need your gosh-darn phone calls telling me how you feel
I only just need to make love to tell me that I'm real

Cause we all got these tiny love spaces that we need to fill Ohoh oooo
