1. Keep Your Distance (Richard Thompson)
if i cross your path again
who knows where who knows when
on some morning without number
on some highway without end
don't grasp my hand and say
fate has brought us here today
fate is only fooling with us friend
keep your distance keep your distance
when i feel you close to me what can i do but fall
keep your distance keep your distance
for with us it must be all or none at all
it's a desperate game we play
throw our souls our lives away
on wounds that can't be mended
and debts that can't be payed
i played and i got stung
now i'm biting back my tounge
and sweeping out the footprints where i strayed

2. The River's Gonna Run (Julie Miller)
I GOT A HOLE IN MY POCKET
I GOT A TEAR IN MY HEART
I GOT A DOOR I CAN'T UNLOCK IT
I LIVE ON SHADOWS IN THE DARK
I HEAR THE SOUND OF A HEARTBEAT
I HEAR A SECRET IN THE RAIN
IT'S LIKE THE KISS OF A LOVER
IT'S LIKE A STRANGER KNOWS YOUR NAME
I'M GONNA ROCK ON THE WATER
i'm gonna dance on the flood
I'M GONNA LAY DOWN WITH THE WIND
and believe like a child
I FEEL THE SWELL OF THE TEMPEST
i feel the passion of a soul
LIKE THERE'S A STORM COMIN IN
a storm of love going wild
AND WHEN THE THUNDERHEADS START BEATING LIKE A DRUM
and the thunder cracks the sky in two
THE WIND IS GONNA BLOW AND THE RAIN IS GONNA COME
AND THE RIVER'S GONNA RUN
I WANNA WALK ON A WIRE
an unbroken line
I WANNA LIVE WHEN I DIE
and shake my soul loose from time
I WANNA RIDE WITH THE ANGELS
on that invisible street
AND LEAVE MY FOOTPRINTS IN THE SKY
and feel the stars beneath my feet
GONNA TAKE THE TRAIN THAT'S GONNA GET ME THERE
ALL THE TRACKS BEHIND ME ARE BURNING IN THE AIR
THE CURE IS GONNA KILL ME BUT I DON'T CARE

3. You Make My Heart Beat Too Fast (Julie Miller)
you make my heart beat too fast
you make me want this to last
you make me spend all my money
oh i think i love you honey
you make me think i could miss you
you make me think i should kiss you
you make me want your affection
we need to make a connection
you're so angelic
i'm psychedelic with emotion
and i can't come down
well my heart was playin dead
but love changes everything around
i wanna ride in your car
i wanna know where you are
why don't you make me your fool
come on baby take me to school
you make me want to be sweet
you make me walk down your street
you make me dance to your beat
i'm gonna save you a seat
you're making me lose my focus
you've got some bad hocus pocus
you make me think you're clever
i'm gonna love you forever

4. Forever Has Come To An End (Julie Miller)
WHEN YOU WROTE ME YOU SAID YOU WERE SORRY
AND YOU'D STILL WANT ME FOR YOUR FRIEND
BUT NOW YOUR HEART NO LONGER BEATS FOR ME
AND FOREVER HAS COME TO AN END
NOW IT MUST BE LIKE I NEVER LOVED YOU
LIKE YOUR SWEET KISS WAS NEVER MINE
I MUST MOVE ON AND STOP THINKING OF YOU
BUT SORROW HAS NO SENSE OF TIME
NOW THE SUN NEED NO LONGER TO SHINE DEAR
AND THE WORLD NEED NO LONGER TO SPIN
FOR YOUR LOVE IT HAS RUN OUT OF TIME DEAR
AND FOREVER HAS COME TO AN END
NOW THE ARMS THAT DID ONCE USED TO HOLD YOU
ARE EMPTY AS YOUR PROMISE WAS
WHAT'S TO BECOME OF THE SECRETS I TOLD YOU
WILL TEARS RUN LIKE A RIVER DOES
NOW THE SUN NEED NO LONGER TO SHINE DEAR
AND THE WORLD NEED NO LONGER TO SPIN
FOR YOUR LOVE IT HAS RUN OUT OF TIME DEAR
AND FOREVER HAS COME TO AN END
AND FOREVER HAS COME TO AN END

5. Little Darlin (Julie Miller)
little darlin love is not a crime
if it is i'll have to do my time
lock my heart up throw away the key
i'm a prisinor that don't wanna go free
come on baby kill me with a kiss
come on make me die of happiness
i know whiskey makes a man a fool
but darlin whiskey ain't got nothing on you
tell the doctor he ain't got no cure
i'm a gonner baby that's for sure
tell the lawman he ain't got no gun
that could hurt me like the way you've done
love can taste as sweet as muscat wine
but then go down more like turpentine
little darlin skies were meant to be blue
songbirds to sing and i was meant to love you

6. Rock Salt And Nails (Bruce "Utah" Phillips)
On the banks of the river, where the willows hang down,
Where the wild birds all warble with a low moaning sound,
Down in the hollow where the water runs cold,
It's there I have listened to the lies that you told.
Now I lie on my bed and I see your sweet face.
The past I remember, time cannot erase.
The letters you wrote me were written in shame,
And I know that your conscience still echos my pain.
Now the nights are so long, my sorrow runs deep.
Nothing is worse than a night without sleep.
I walk out alone, I look at the sky,
Too empty to sing, too lonesome to cry.
Now if the ladies were blackbirds and the ladies were thrushes,
I'd lie there for hours in the chilly cold marshes.
If the ladies were squirrels with them high bushy tails,
I'd fill up my shotgun with rock salt and nails.

7. Dirty Water (Julie and Buddy Miller)
well i don't need you hangin round my door
trying to drag me back down to the shore
and i ain't gonna drink your dirty water no more
well i got wet from my head down to my legs
and i drank dirty water down to the dregs
but i won't do it again i don't care who begs
dirty water now what's that for
dirty water i ain't drinkin no more
you've got a lie underneath your tongue where it can't be seen
and you wanna put the truth on a guillotine
but you might as well put out a fire with gasoline
well you can serve up dirty water from a golden cup
you can try to lock up the truth but the door won't shut
cause the truth just comes out like blood from a cut
well that is sparkle and shiny but it was just a trick
so you wash it down with a kiss just to get a kick
well that dirty water is about to make me sick
dirty water now what's that for
dirty water i ain't drinkin no more
you can try to sweeten turpentine up with grenadine
but i can still read you like a magazine
and i ain't gonna drink no more till the water runs clean
dirty water now what's that for
dirty water i ain't drinkin no more
baby you got the kind of love that i can't afford
and i don't have a taste for what's in that glass you poured
and i ain't gonna drink that dirty water no more

8. Wallflower (Bob Dylan)
wallflower, wallflower
won't you dance with me
i'm sad and lonely too
wallflower, wallflower
won't you dance with me
i'm fallin' in love with you
just like you i'm wondrin' what i'm doin' here
just like you i'm wondrin' what's goin' on
wallflower, wallflower
won't you dance with me
the night will soon be gone
i have seen you standing in the smoky haze
and i know that you're gonna be mine one of these days
wallflower, wallflower
take a chance on me
please let me ride you home

9. That's Just How She Cries (Julie Miller)
she is smiling
then she takes your hand
and with a kiss she lies
that's just how she cries
she is dancing
up above a flame
and without wings she flies
that's just how she cries
that's how she cries
without tears
that's how she cries
so no one hears
she is talking
but she speaks in code
like a broken heart replies
cause that's just how she cries
that's how she cries
without tears
that's how she cries
so no one hears
she is silent
without words she speaks
so listen to her eyes
cause that's how she cries
