I worked my way up to you
To pay my union dues
The pain you left I earned
I’d work the weekends too
I’d hold you not change for you
True but insane
The secret in my heart remains
Driving down lake avenue to the gambler’s I knew near the pier
Money down on 11 and like you it disappeared
When you told me that we were through
I hadn’t woken up just yet
What’s in a dream can still seem to be
You got my luck now baby
I need a lot more heart
You got my lock now baby to keep our love from falling apart
Fighting hand over fist
Made my life a mess
Deep down dead and alone
You rolled away that stone
The hearts pound on the battery
With you hands in my coat pockets
With a smile that says love never forgets
I yearned for you through the radio
Imagining you were listening too
I hid my love in that song
Who was I too prove it wrong
I’d drive around with nomadic hopes
Summer heat winter storms
Battered and bruised
I was healed by you
I felt your hands on my eyes and I knew
You got my luck now baby
I need a lot more heart
You got my luck now baby to keep our love from falling apart
We got our love to see
What might be
You said that diamonds are dust
Love wasn’t meant to rust
I wait in Carnival Town
To make our deal go down
I see you at the Midway
Your bright lights and loaded games
I don’t care if things are never the same
If I were honest with myself
If I don’t tell no one else
What good is love
What good am I
If like the rest I didn’t try
I’d search alone on the desert trail
If I knew your love was there
Laid on the ground
I was healed all around
I felt your hands on my eyes
And I knew

When I saw you on the river babe
Out near eight mile light
I was driving between the rails and the ridge
Letting go what was left of my life
Clover
I helped you tie the lines
With my hands behind
To a heart packed deep in sand
I should have said my prayers
‘Cuz I could feel your tears
There’s no lie in a final demand
Clover, Clover, sweet Clover
You’re my fragrance of the night
Clover, sweet Clover, oh, Clover
Let me make it alright
I’ve an honest life
But they sharpened the blade
I’d cut if I could seem to care
What I found in your heart
Was a thousand little parts
I knew I could help you there
Clover, Clover, sweet Clover
You’re my fragrance in the night
Clover, sweet Clover, oh, Clover
Come and make it alright
You said you’re read the lines in my palm
But they were too criss-crossed to reveal my heart
Heart, you took it out of me, you took it out me, yea
You told me something, Clover in the morning
Driving on the highway, forever in the valley
I left the river, Clover in the morning
And you were with me forever in the valley
I left the river, Clover in the morning
And you were with me forever in the valley

Turn out the light
Hold back the day
It ain’t dark just yet
But it sure is looking that way
If you ain’t thinking this time
You’d better just learn how to pray
Now there’s something to be found
When the light turns green
There’s something to be had
In this mystery
Take my hand and I’ll give you something to hold
If we don’t help each other
We may as well be digging our hole
Right now along the river
Where we met our fate
Along the shallow bend our last mistake
Cover me with water
Carry me away
My last living memory
I had more to say
Turn out the light
Hold back the day
It ain’t dark just yet
But it sure is looking that way
If you ain’t thinking this time
I thought you were the friend to say
Now tell me again
What mirage you wanted
The last one to know you’d shove in front of
Make-believe that this love really was true
I saw the outside of that
And the inside I never really knew
Turn out the light
Hold back the day
It ain’t dark just yet
But it sure is looking that way
If you ain’t thinking this time
You’d better just learn how to pray

Blindfold my eyes
Turn me around
What reminds me of you couldn’t be found
Soften the light harden the dark
Could I still feel the glow at the edge of your heart
I realized reality
Wasn’t anything that ever could be
Going in circles
Don’t seem to get anywhere
I encircled your heart
It disappeared in the air
Am I going through this all again?
Open my eyes so I see
Between a dream and reality
Let my heart find a flame
That shows me the way
Turn off the light
Hide in the dark
We’d light a match but needed a spark
Cabaret legs just danced in the air
You said something I took for a prayer
Are you doing through this all again?
Open my eyes so I see
Between a dream and reality
Let my heart find a flame
That shows me the way
It’s summertime and something’s gonna change
On the breeze you keep coming back to me
And here we go again
Open my eyes so I see
Between a dream and reality
Let my heart find a flame
That shows me the way
Needed the spark …

Split Decision
by Makaya McCraven
What surprised me most are the "lyrical lines" Makaya's creates through the drum set. I get something new from each time I hear his songs.
