Never Really Gone
(M. Carothers)
Along the orchard road
Before daylight
She’s the borrowed light of moon
That used to be all mine
She used to be all mine
Indian giver
I’m your whiskey liver
And I’m your bottle return
Every Monday morning
Every Monday morning
Mr. pawn shop
Will you please be kind?
‘Cause this wedding silver
Is all that’s mine
She’s gone
I left his ashes in Tennessee
And I rode the Greyhound dog
Across the Mississippi yeah
And Texas too
Texas too
Up the coast
Of the promise land
Of California sunshine
Dimming in the headlights
With the flags half mast
The voices change
Just like the weather
And my lost, my soft address
She’s my lost, my soft address
With the flags half mast
And the past is past
But never really gone
She’s never really gone

Easy Wolves
(M. Carothers)
Please don't call on God
While sleeping through the sun
I know it's something you're on
She won't wake up for you
So just hang up the phone
Easy wolves will call
From fields you don't belong
Forgive me, I am
Absolute, absolutely
Far
Absolute, absolutely
far… so far, from you
Sleeping through the Sun
She won't wake up for you
She won't wake up
For you
Easy wolves will call
Sleeping through the Sun

Note On The Table (M. Carothers)
She left a note on the table by my uniform
Written in red, my dirty uniform
She left a note on the table by a glass of turned milk
It read: take good care of yourself if you remember how!
That’s what she said to me
If I’m lying I’m dying
And maybe I am
Well her rings off her finger by the telephone
The ghost in our bed, something’s wrong
When she calls me up, late at night
And says, “leave the way that you came in!” and I did
You know I did
If I’m lying I’m dying
And maybe I am
The jailer, the convict
The truth could be
The noose, the cradle
The poem could be
When the nurse and the leper
All sing to me
“Take good care of yourself if you remember how!”
That’s what they said to me
If I’m lying I’m dying
And maybe I am.

Collapse the Map
(M. Carothers)
Everyone knows it’s slow there
Everyone knows you go where
The lighted chose
Where no one goes
We’re behind them.
Return our gift
Antiqued by risk
Collapse the map when
We’re behind them.
Everyone knows it’s slow there
Everyone knows you go where
The lighted chose

A Tribute to Machines (J. Campbell)
I can see summer
in the rear view mirror but
It's fading fast as flowers
outside your house at night
It compliments your heart
Halloween has come and gone
without the change of colors
it's all just cold and wet
forever seems to last so long
and that's all
she wrote
and that's how
it goes
your flag doesn't shine so bright
since you've been accused of murder
the mud has tracked across
the brand new kitchen floor
there's no where for you to turn
better shut your shutters
New Year has come and gone
without the benefit of snow
and that's all
she wrote
and that's how
it goes
when you're in the dead hearts club
the days just last so long
so long, get me out of here
so long, get me out of here
alone, pull me out of here

Take My Ghost Away
(Anderson/Carothers)
This story’s borrowed
From a weather vane
Just after I gave up
I gave it all away
With the moon on the rise
I whisper to the pine
In a voice old and thin
As a bible page
Tiny revelations
Call to the dawn
Figurine saviors
Riding along
Left my pennies on the tracks
And listened close for trains
Leave the bottles on the trees
To take the ghosts away
Everywhere I’ve been
Everything I wanted
Was haunted then
And unfit to stay
Now I ought to be going
Listen for the train
With a whistle blowing
From a haunted place…
With a bird in the hand
And a snake in the grass
They will haunt this land
As I turn south again
My story’s borrowed
As a bible page
This story left untold
It will never change
From a haunted place
From a haunted place
Leave the bottles on the trees
To take my ghosts away
