1. IN THE GARDEN
EVERETT
HE MOVED ACROSS THE WATER UNTIL HE MADE DRY LAND AND DREW UP FROM THE MUDDY BANKS THIS VERY SIMPLE MAN
HE REACHED INTO MY BRITTLE CAGE WANNA HELP TO LEND A HAND AND UP UNTIL I SAW YOUR FACE I DIDN'T KNOW I'D NEED A PLAN
THE FRUIT FALLS FROM THE BRANCHES THE SCALES FALL FROM OUR EYES THE WORLD SPREADS OUT BEFORE US AND LOVE IS ALL I FIND
IN THE GARDEN WON'T YOU STAY WITH ME IN THE GARDEN DARLING NEVER LEAVE IN THE GARDEN I DON'T WANT I DON'T WANT TO BE FREE
THE YEARS THEY NEVER GET TO HIM THE WAY THEY GET TO YOU AND ME GUESS IT'S TRUE, WHAT OPHIDIAN SAID I WAS BLIND AND NOW I SEE
THE CRIMSON KISS THAT'S ON OUR LIPS THAT AIN'T NOTHING BUT A STAIN FROM LOVE THAT NEVER COULD FORGIVE THE SIMPLEST GROWING PAINS
IN THE GARDEN WON'T YOU STAY WITH ME IN THE GARDEN SAY YOU'LL NEVER LEAVE IN THE GARDEN I DON'T WANT I DON'T WANT TO BE FREE
WHAT WE WERE MEANT TO FIND THERE WAS NEVER MADE TOO CLEAR BUT FOOTSTEPS IN THE DARKNESS WON'T RUN ME OUT OF HERE
IN THE GARDEN WON'T YOU STAY WITH ME IN THE GARDEN SAY YOU'LL NEVER LEAVE IN THE GARDEN WON'T YOU STAY WITH ME I DON'T WANT I DON'T WANT TO BE FREE
2. NO PLACE TO HIDE
EVERETT/DELRAY
THERE'S NO PLACE TO HIDE DOWN HERE NO PLACE TO HIDE DOWN HERE WENT TO THE ROCK GOT ON MY KNEES I HEARD THE ANGELS WEEP FOR ME THERE'S NO PLACE TO HIDE DOWN HERE
WELL WHERE'S MY BROTHERS KEEPER? WHO HOLDS THE FLAMING SWORD? THE FIELD HAD TURNED TO CRIMSON THOUGHT I HID IT FROM THE LORD BUT SOMEWHERE EAST OF EDEN HIS BLOOD CRIED OUT FROM THE GROUND I HUNG MY HEAD IN SHAME WHERE I WAS FOUND
THERE'S NO PLACE TO HIDE DOWN HERE NO PLACE TO HIDE DOWN HERE WENT TO THE ROCK GOT ON MY KNEES I HEARD THE ANGELS WEEP FOR ME THERE'S NO PLACE TO HIDE DOWN HERE
NOW I'M A WANDERING STRANGER A SCAR FOR A NAME A MARK SO DEEP AND BLACK MY CHILDRENS CHILDREN WEAR THE SHAME OH MERCIFUL AND GRACIOUS LORD, WHEN SHALL I BE RELEASED? WAS BLOOD THAT HAS CONDEMNED ME ONLY BLOOD CAN SET ME FREE?
THERE'S NO PLACE TO HIDE DOWN HERE NO PLACE TO HIDE DOWN HERE WENT TO THE ROCK GOT ON MY KNEES I HEARD THE ANGELS WEEP FOR ME THERE'S NO PLACE TO HIDE DOWN HERE
3. LLOYDS SUMMER VACATION
EVERETT-LYRIC EVERETT/RASPANTE/COHEN/BEASLEY-MUSIC
NOW LLOYD WAS UNACCUSTOMED TO THE COMPANY HE KEPT THAT NIGHT HE PULLED OUT ALL THE STOPS YEAH, IT WAS NOTHING BUT THE BEST HE PROFFERED KOSHER FUNNEL CAKES HELL, HE POWDERED EVERY PLATE POURED THEM ALL SOME MANISCHEVITZ SO THEY WOULDN'T MIND THE WAIT
HE WAS ALL LIKE, "COME IN, COME IN NOW. PLEASE, PLEASE TAKE A SEAT" WHILE HIS GIGGLING GIRLS, THEY TWITTERED DOWN THE HALL BUT YOU COULD ALMOST SMELL THE TENSION THROUGH THE WINDOWS, FROM THE STREET YEAH, YOU COULD ALMOST READ THE WRITING ON THE WALL
YEAH THE WRITINGS ON THE WALLS
FOLKS GREASED UP THEIR LITTLE TORCHES AND THEY PITCH FORKED 'ROUND THE HOUSE THEY CRIED, "WE'D LIKE TO GET TO KNOW THEM LLOYD, WHY DON'T YOU SEND THEM OUT?" SLIPPING THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR, LLOYD HE BEGGED THEM TO DECIST THEN HE MADE THEM ALL AN OFFER EVEN HE COULD NOT RESIST
MEANWHILE, HIS GUESTS ARE GETTING RESTLESS AS THEY SCRAPE BACK IN THEIR CHAIRS POKE THEIR BEAKS OUT OF THE WINDOWS AND GLOWER DOWN THE STAIRS THEY YANKED OL' LLOYD BACK IN THE HOUSE TOLD HIM, "GOOD GOD MAN, PACK UP THE KIDS, PACK UP THE WIFE, AND FIRE UP THE VAN!!"
SOAKING UP THE RAIN WITH A SHAKER FULL OF SALT GOTTA GET AWAY YOU BETTER, YOU BETTER SOAKING UP THE RAIN WITH A SHAKER FULL OF SALT GOTTA GET AWAY
SO LLOYD PACKED UP THE FAMILY AND THEY HEADED IT OUF TOWN (THIS WAS BEFORE THE OCEAN DIED, SEE, AND WALLS BURNED TO THE GROUND) THEY SAID, "JUST KEEP ON DRIVIN' MAN. MAYBE HIDE OUT IN THE WOODS." SO VERY FEW INSTRUCTIONS EVEN FEWER UNDERSTOOD
NOW MAMMA, DON'T LOOK BACK IN ANGER MAMMA DON'T LOOK BACK AT ALL BUT SHE NEVER COULD CONTAIN HERSELF (NO IT'S REALLY NOT HER FAULT) SHE HAD HER MOTHERS CRYSTAL CHINA AND HER DADDYS CRYSTAL BALLS THEN A FLASH, THEN A BANG, THEN A SHAKER FULL OF SALT
SOAKING UP THE RAIN WITH A SHAKER FULL OF SALT GOTTA GET AWAY NO IT AIN'T HER FAULT SOAKING UP THE RAIN WITH A SHAKER FULL OF SALT GOTTA GET AWAY POOR OLD WHAT'S HER FACE…
LATER IN THE EVENING AFTER EVERYTHING THEY'D SEEN THOSE WHISPERING, GIGGLING GIRLS COOKED UP A NASTY LITTLE SCHEME THE BUGGERS AND THE BEGGARS WOULD HAVE SHOOK THEIR HEADS IN SHAME BUT THEY DIDN'T GET THE CHANCE MAN, THEY WAS SOAKING UP THE RAIN!
A LITTLE DROP OF POISON IN A JIGGER FULL OF WINE YOU KEEP IT IN THE FAMILY, IT ALL WORKS OUT IN TIME SEE LLOYD WAS NOT THE KIND OF MAN TO LOVE AND LEAVE A LADY HE RAISED UP TWO STRONG DAUGHTERS THEN HE MADE HIS OWN GRAND BABIES!
4. BEYOND THE WALL
EVERETT/COHEN
BEHIND HER WALL THERE LIES A GARDEN THAT I'LL NEVER KNOW AGAIN THE SCENT OF SAFFRON AND THE CROCUS STOLEN BY A JEALOUS WIND
AS THE WAVES MARCH OUT TO MEET ME AS I FACE THE RUSHING TIDE I SHED A TEAR FOR TERRA ROSA AND THE ONE I LEAVE BEHIND
LOVE WILL RISE LOVE WILL FALL FROM KINGDOM COME TO GARDEN WALL
HERE I LIE TO KEEP MY PROMISE HONOR BENT AND HONOR BOUND I SMILE AND DREAM OF TERRA ROSA WHAT WAS LOST MAY SOON BE FOUND
LOVE WILL RISE LOVE WILL FALL FROM KINGDOM COME TO GARDEN WALL
KINGDOMS RISE KINGDOMS FALL ALL I LOVE LIES BEYOND THE WALL
5. PENNSYLVANIA
EVERETT/COHEN
A BORROWED SUNDAY SUIT A PAIR OF SNAKESKIN BOOTS AND A HAND SPUN TALE OF WOE WHICH OVERCAME THEM
OF A WHEEL WITHIN A WHEEL A DREAD THEY ALL COULD FEEL OUT THERE IN THE FIELDS OF PENNSYLVANIA
AFTER BREAKING BREAD HE LOOKED AT THEM AND SAID, "THERE'S A FIRE COMING SOON, BUT I CAN SAVE YA"
SANG AN OLD FORGOTTEN SONG AND THE CHILDREN SANG ALONG VOICES RISING UP IN PENNSYLVANIA
SO CLAP HANDS STOMP FEET LOVE HAS COME NOW LOVE TO SET YOU FREE
WHEN THE HAMMER HITS THE WHEEL THERE'S SMOKE THERE IN THE STEEL THE WORD IT FELT SO HEAVY IN HIS HAND
THEN JUST LIKE THAT, HE'S GONE THE SPIRIT PUSHES HIM ALONG HE SLOUCHES NOW TOWARDS EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA
SO CLAP HANDS STOMP FEET LOVE HAS COME NOW LOVE TO SET YOU FREE
THE DARKNESS DROPS AGAIN THEN THE WHEELS BEGIN TO SPIN BURNING DOWN THE FIELDS OF PENNSYLVANIA
6. THE GREAT FISH
EVERETT
THEY'RE GRASPING AT STRAWS, THICKER THAN THIEVES JUST STUMBLING AROUND FOR WHAT THEY DO AND DON'T NEED
NO ALBATROSS, NO MARITIME RYHME JUST WHAT THEY CAN FLOAT AND WHAT THEY CAN FLY
SO I GUESS I'LL BE ON MY WAY
WAVE AFTER WAVE I'M DROWNING DAY AFTER DAY I CAN'T BREATHE I PRAYED AND I PRAYED YOUR LOVE FOUND ME NOW SET ME FREE
I'M DOWN IN THE GALLEY OF YOUR BEAST COOKING UP EXCUSES EVEN I DON'T BELIEVE
IF I EVER WASH UP BREAK OUT ON YOUR BEACH YEAH I'LL DO AS I'M TOLD, NO YOU WON'T HAVE TO PREACH
THERE'S JUST SO MUCH LOVE I CAN TAKE
WAVE AFTER WAVE I'M DROWNING DAY AFTER DAY I CAN'T BREATHE I PRAYED AND I PRAYED YOUR LOVE FOUND ME NOW SET ME FREE
IT'S A LONG, LONG DARK ROAD TO GRACE
7. RISE UP

8. LOVE CUT ME DOWN
EVERETT
I AM JUST A MAN YOU SEE A MAN THAT WON YOUR TRUST FELL TO THE GROUND BENEATH YOUR FEET FOUND LOVE DOWN IN THE DUST
THE PROMISE THAT WAS HIDDEN IN THE RIDDLES OF YOUR RHYMES SOME THINGS WERE MADE ANEW AGAIN AND OTHERS LEFT TO DIE
I DID WHAT I DID AND I'D DO IT AGAIN THE CLAY TAKES IT'S SHAPE IN THE POTTERS HAND NOW I HANG MY HEAD I STARE AT THE GROUND LOVE CUT ME DOWN
MEMORIES ARE ALL I HAVE WHAT'S LEFT OF YOU AND ME IF I COULD HOLD THEM IN MY HAND LORD, I WONDER WHAT I'D SEE
NOW SONS OF FATHERS CAME TO TOWN AND LEFT ME AT THE GATE A CRUST OF STALE AND BITTER BREAD NO REASON LEFT TO WAIT
I PLAYED MY PART THAT YOU CAST ME IN THE WATER DID FLOW AND THE WHEEL DID SPIN I HANG MY HEAD I LOST MY CROWN LOVE CUT ME DOWN LOVE CUT ME DOWN I DID WHAT I DID AND I'D DO IT AGAIN THE CLAY TAKES IT'S SHAPE IN THE POTTERS HAND NOW I HANG MY HEAD I STARE AT THE GROUND LOVE CUT ME DOWN
9. LIKE A SONG

THERE WAS FAITH THERE WAS HOPE THERE WAS JUST ENOUGH ROPE TO HANG ON I WAS LOST IN THE CROWD AND WHEN I TURNED AROUND YOU WAS GONE WITH THE WORDS YOU SAID STICKING IN MY HEAD LIKE A SONG I TRY TO SING ALONG
PISTOL PETE PULLS OUT HIS PIECE AND HE WAVES IT AROUND THE ROOM THEN HE KILLS SOME TIME 'TIL HE SPILLS THE WINE TALING ABOUT THE BRIDE AND THE GROOM JINGLE JOHNNY TRIES TO CHILL THE SCENE BUT POOR JJ HE GOT THE SHAKES PULLS THE BLINDS KILLS THE LIGHTS AS THE GROUND BENEATH HIM ACHES
THERE WAS FAITH THERE WAS HOPE THERE WAS JUST ENOUGH ROPE TO HANG ON I WAS LOST IN THE CROWD AND WHEN I TURNED AROUND YOU WAS GONE WITH THE WORDS YOU SAID STICKING IN MY HEAD LIKE A SONG I TRY TO SING ALONG
SO I SLIDE OUT AROUND THREE AM JESSE MESSIN' WITH MY HEAD AND WHEN I ROLL BACK DOWN TO THE CRIME SCENE THEY TRY AND TELL ME YOU AIN'T DEAD PISTOL PETE HE'S LIVIN' LARGE AND GRINNIN' EAR TO EAR BUT JINGLE JOHNNY SLIPS RIGHT BY ME AS I FINALLY TASTE THE FEAR
THERE WAS FAITH THERE WAS HOPE THERE WAS JUST ENOUGH ROPE TO HANG ON I WAS LOST IN THE CROWD AND WHEN I TURNED AROUND YOU WAS GONE WITH THE WORDS YOU SAID STICKING IN MY HEAD LIKE A SONG I TRY TO SING ALONG
10. SAPHIRA

11. PRETTY GOOD PLAN
EVERETT/LLOYD
WHEN THE SUN CAME UP AND THE WORLD WAS NEW THERE WAS NOT A THING THAT WE COULD NOT DO WITH HEARTS ON FIRE AND FLOWERS IN OUR HAIR
AND WE SANG OUR SONGS AND WE CLAPPED OUR HANDS AND THE LAME WOULD WALK AND THE WEAK WOULD STAND SINGING, "MY SWEET LORD, I'LL MEET YOU IN THE AIR"
YOURS WAS MINE AND MINE WAS YOURS LOVE WOULD OPEN EVERY DOOR BUT SOMETHING CHANGED CAN YOU HELP ME UNDERSTAND I THOUGH IT WAS A PRETTY GOOD PLAN
WELL YOU PICKED YOUR SPOT ON THE HIGHEST HILL AND YOU RAISED YOUR CUP AND YOU DRANK MY FILL LOOKING DOWN ON WHERE WE USED TO STAND
SO WE GATHERED ROUND THERE BENEATH YOUR FEET AND YOU BUILT A TOMB WHERE WE ALL COULD MEET BUT DID SOMEONE SET THEIR ROCK ON SINKING SAND
THERE WAS LAWS AND THERE WAS RULES SOME FOR KINGS AND MORE FOR FOOLS WE ALL TRIED TO UNDERSTAND YOUR PRETTY GOOD PLAN I GAVE MINE AND YOU TOOK YOURS HID BEHIND YOUR GOLDEN DOORS IT ALL GETS STRANGE WHEN THE MONEY'S CHANGING HANDS THOUGHT IT WAS A PRETTY GOOD PLAN
OUR GOOD INTENTIONS MAY PAVE THE ROAD AHEAD WHY DO WE ALWAYS FIND OUR HEARTS ARE SOMEWHERE ELSE INSTEAD
WAS LAWS AND THERE WAS RULES SOME FOR KINGS AND MORE FOR FOOLS WE ALL TRIED TO UNDERSTAND THIS PRETTY GOOD PLAN I GAVE MINE AND YOU TOOK YOURS HID BEHIND YOUR GOLDEN DOORS IT ALL GETS STRANGE WHEN THE MONEY'S CHANGING HANDS WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PRETTY GOOD PLAN
