Words and music by Dar Williams
Are we the fools for being suprised that a silence could end with no sound
Like the silent movie era like with snow like when Sal's burned
down
Well yeah there was noise but nothing to mark the passing on
Of that great unspoken chance we had found
Where the night's end came well-trod and familiar
Like the Charlie Chapin walk that fades to black
And there wasn't anyone t
Anything You Like lyrics
You can lift that tremble right between my eyes You can study deep tongues 'til your'e blind and wise You can slide into the earth And you can witness your own birth You can brush the shado
rying to sell their soulsYou can lift that tremble right between my eyes You can study deep tongues 'til your'e blind and wise You can slide into the earth And you can witness your own birth You can brush the shado
They were only trying to buy them back
They were only trying to buy them back
Well yeah there was a Sal he walked with bulging pockets round town
Either he was up to no good or he just got excited watching things burn down
Well I guess he got the idea if you hold a chunk of gold in your hand now
For once in your life you can throw some weight around
And Sal you slimeball sell-out how ca
Denied lyrics
I'm trying, denying why won't you ever talk to me I know it, can't show it I guess it's kind of hard to see I'm learning, confirming the lies a thousand times before I know it, can't blow it n
n we blame youI'm trying, denying why won't you ever talk to me I know it, can't show it I guess it's kind of hard to see I'm learning, confirming the lies a thousand times before I know it, can't blow it n
We all want something to put our fingers on
And you never know the true throne that you've lost
Till the vinyl barstools are gone
Till the vinyl barstools are gone
If you toss around some words you might say that
Sal was carrying a torch for the mob
But the mob's gone too yeah the only sign of them left
Is on every screen at the multiplex and we go there no prob hey
Cause there ain't no cowb
I'm So Beautiful lyrics
Out out tonight feel like going out in the night I'm gonna walk the street walk the street I wanna feel the heat feel the heat. There ain't nobody better than me can't you see? Look at me
oys in this Connecticut townOut out tonight feel like going out in the night I'm gonna walk the street walk the street I wanna feel the heat feel the heat. There ain't nobody better than me can't you see? Look at me
No not anymore, no, not since Sal's burned down
Once you'd dip your tin cup down in the muse's watering hole
Or pioneer a new patch of common ground
Then you'd lie on your time-traveled bedroll
Quite amazed at the expansive terrain*
And if anyone said that you'd never have fame and fortune just
that bar
You know you'd ride that way again
I bet you'd ride that way again
