I’ll gather up the things you love best
Pull them close to my chest
I’m your lighthouse man
There’ll be no shipwrecks on this land
I’ll cast the net and bait the lines
For when there’s trouble you’ll pay no mind
I’m your fisherman - yes you need love and I know when
§
I’ll let the waves break over me
I’ll weather storms you’ll never see
I’m your lighthouse man
§
I’ll tend your garden by the hour
I’ll make it sweet when things turn sour
Be your right hand man, and with my left do what I can

Jolene (Don't Leave)

Think I'm gonna to take me a walk tomorrow
But it's going to be a lonely path to follow
For my boots are so full of sorrow,
And all I have is my pride to swallow.
'Cause you made me feel like I've done no good.
But that's so unreal 'cause I did what I could.
And I bite my tongue but I taste your blood,
I cry my tears but I drown in your flood
Oh but I'm bored, bored, bored, 'cause what is this old song for?
Jolene, think my weakness is showing
Jolene, she's a secret worth knowing
Jolene, don’t leave

Spinning round in circles and watching the sun go from west to east as shadows turn around and,
I’m feeling all lethargic without change or substance
As I try to be happy, as I try to find some constants
But I’m way down low
Getting over all the sequence, imperfections
I’m letting go of all my sweetness and affections,
I’m losing grip as I try to change direction and I fall down low
Place your hands over my eyes
To hide the things that I despise
Getting over all the waste and distraction
And I find that things they give me so much satisfaction
But it’s just too far, it’s out of reach
Like a whale that’s stranded on a beach and I’m way down low
Place your hands over my eyes
To hide the things that I despise
There’s too many things that I don’t know
And I’m still losing my grip as I slip below
