I saw him standing in the pale moonlight
I heard him say "I’m going crazy tonight"
Aw yeah "I'm going crazy tonight"
Somebody told me better watch that one-
Cuz he’s a bad mother son of a gun
Aw yeah- a mother son of a gun.
Betcha dime to a dollar- that man knows how to run
He said "Now baby, do you know how to dance?"
I said "I might", He said- "You may have a chance."
Aw yeah- he said "You may have a chance."
I said "Now baby, whatcha drinking there?"
He said "Don’t matter, girl- I like your stare"
Aw yeah- "I really like your stare."

He said "Don’t really need to know your name
Meet me on the dance floor
We gon’ put it to shame" aw yeah…

Falling slowly from you
Tail lights on black top, blue
A stoic dying for the truth
The one thing you could never do
So won’t you meet me on the back porch
And let me show you the light
Yeah won’t you meet me on the back porch
Show you how to love a girl-
How to love a woman right
Morning dew on the lawn
Your secrets open all along
The weakest one finds herself strong
And only the forgotten move on
Silent space in between
Your actions and words you never mean
Winter fades in between
Lovelorn requiem for a dream
So won’t you meet me on the back porch
And let me show you the light
Yeah won’t you meet me on the back porch
Show you how to love a girl-
How to love a woman right
So won’t you meet me on the back porch
And let me show you the light
Yeah won’t you meet me on the back porch
Show you how to love a girl-
How to love a woman right

Angel Waltzing in Time
© Graceful Riot Music
woke this morning and I heard the news
its hard not cry, not to get the blues
and i told myself baby you’re up there in time
singing songs, writing word on the hearts of mankind
an angel waltzing in time
angel waltzing in time
an angel waltzing in time
it’s been a longtime since I had a long talk with you
never told you the things that you already knew
should have done all the things that you taught me by now
and I promise you one day I’ll still make you proud
an angel waltzing in time
angel waltzing in time
an angel waltzing in time
no one knows how the body and soul of a man
hits the light and ignites all the fire of circumstance
but I’ve seen in your eyes and your words and your sighs
all the beautiful ways that you can hypnotize
and I know that you’ll always be here when you can
an angel waltzing in time
angel waltzing in time
an angel waltzing in time

Sober you, quiet me
I’m quarter to two, you’re half past three
You’re reaching out through fear and pain
As I’m leaving on a northbound train
Early morning, time to rise
Hot black coffee, sleepy eyes
You say you remember how to play the game
As I am leaving on a northbound train
I’ve already paid the price
Loved you once, can’t afford to love you twice
You left me standing in the cold and the rain
I am leaving on a northbound train
Sober you, quiet me
I’m quarter to two, you’re half past three
You’re reaching out through wind and rain
As I’m leaving on a northbound train
I am leaving on a northbound train
I am leaving on a northbound train

Westbound Train
© Graceful Riot Music
I don’t want to shine for you
unless you’re real, unless you’re true
Don’t want to hear you say my name
If you’re just another clever, westbound train
I’ve worked the carnivals til midnight
I’ve known a gypsy or two
Been on my knees in the garden of redemption
Lie to me, I’ll lie to you
I don’t want to shine for you
If you think you’ve got something more important to do
Don’t want to hear you say my name
If you’re gonna trade your good intentions for fame
I’ve been from here to Madagascar
Been to Paris, been to Rome
Seen the seven wonders of the world
and I can tell you, where you lay your head?
That ain’t a home.
Take my hand and let’s go dancing
Unleash the heart, the soul, the bones
This precious world is for romancing
No need to walk this road alone
I don’t want to shine for you
unless you’re real, unless you’re true
Don’t want to hear you say my name
If you’re just another clever, westbound train
I’ve worked the carnivals til midnight
I’ve known a gypsy or two
Been on my knees in the garden of redemption
Lie to me, I’ll lie to you
Don’t you lie to me and I won’t lie to you

Carolina Blues

Dirty little secrets, dirty little lies
Dirty little reasons, dirty alibis
See the paper, and the tv and the news-
Everybody out there praying for someone to lose
and when you lose?
Carolina Blues
Running on the front lines, somebody gonna fall
Running through the bedrooms, running down the hall
All the cryin, all the dyin for a dime
All the cheatin, all the lyin, all the crime
Nobody wants to wear their brother's shoes
But when they do?
Carolina Blues
When they do- Carolina Blues.
Fading into history, what are the stories you will tell?
Is it truth or is it mystery, is it heaven or is it hell?
Will you be the one to make an old day new?
It’s up to you.
Carolina Blues
It’s up to you.
Carolina Blues.
Yeah, it’s up to you
Carolina Blues...
