Mischievous Song

The slow silhouette of a slide trombone
C#maj7
In an old time movie that never grew old
F#9 Bmaj7
Mysterious, Mischievous song
I could leave this town and never come back
And leave something I wish I always had
Soft as the pillow on my bed
Chorus: 2x Is it gonna be your dreams or love
What should I do
What should I do about lovin you
A7
Bridge Love letter lies
Laugh life and lust
C#7
Listening to a saxophone
Career casket casualty
Crushed coaxed and crafty
Captured creative soul

Moonlite
I find myself in an old wooden shack pineing over you
With an old Dusty Broom and some Worn out shoes
Another Red Light Another flat Tire Another Icy snow
It's hard to find meaning when you got nowhere to go
Chorus: When you stare up at the moonlite
and the stars fall at your feet
Don't Go back to sleep
The leaves fall so easily and then rest in peace
But I feel like an old ash tree with bugs digging in me
The drinking builds illusion but its' not the truth I seek
Desperately seeking fantasy
Chorus: When you stare up at the moonlite
and the stars fall at your feet
Don't Go back to sleep
I find myself in an old wooden shack pineing over you
With an old dusty broom and a bottle of booze
The drinking builds illusion and buys a little peace
Long enough to put my mind to sleep
Chorus: When you stare up at the moonlite
and the stars fall at your feet
Don't Go back to sleep

Angeline
D F#
Chorus Angeline, Angeline
G D
Sweet Angeline
G D A
I'm living in your heart shaped memories
G D
May your heart stay ruthless
F G
While your mind disagrees
G A D
Won't you please set me free, Angeline
D F# G D
The wind is blowing the snow in so many directions
G D A
And I feel like that snowflake in the breeze
I wish I could go, southbound down the highway
So the sun could melt this ice away from me
G D F# G
Cause this time of year is lonely, without you leaving me
G A D
May your love take back its curse Angeline
Now I'm sitting on my bags, on the edge of the highway
Cause this place will never be the same to me
I'm spending all my savings, on a brand new tomorrow
Cause the past is slowly killing me
May the cut be clean and the scar hard to see
May your love take back its curse, Angeline
Chorus

On its last cigarette
And your eyes have been
Closed for so long
My days have rolled over
But you could change all that

By Giving In
And letting your emotions go

Learning To Waltz
D A D
In a week, will you still know my name
D G D
Or will you forget me like the others just the same
G D
Will you give me a call, put my face on your wall
D A D
In a week, will you still know my name
In a month will you say we gotta talk
Let me down when we take that long walk
The old it's me not you is what your gonna do
In a month will you say we gotta talk
In ten years will you still talk to me
Or will you tell me you gotta be free
All the years and the babies turn the I do's to maybes
In ten years will you still talk to me
Can you ever forgive me my dear
For your love for me has always been clear
Time after time, you walked the line
Can you ever forgive me my dear

Darlin Come Home to Me
I left this rose on your bed
So I'll be there while you sleep
Darlin I love you so
Won't you come home to me
I saw you out by the river bed
Out by our old oak tree
I saw you lay you hands across our names
Darlin Come Home to Me
I left my heart in this song
I left it to you last week
Darlin I love you so
Won't you come home to me
