Gena Rose Bruce featuring Bill Callahan - Deep Is The Way
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXiclx6gtoE
I'm in love with you
So let me awaken you
I'm going to follow you through
The darkest day
Just like the sun
Sadness is real
Just like the sun
It's going away
So don't get lost in a world that favours fast living
Cause you've got a mind for drifting and dreaming
A beautiful mind that will both terrify and free you (And free you)
But for a beautiful mind, deep is the way
There is a place for you
There is light
It's just hard to see
Through the heavy fog
And I know how quickly
Thoughts can turn dark
But you can stay
In this place of love
Don't get lost in a world that favours fast living
Cause you've got a mind for drifting and dreaming
A beautiful mind that will both terrify and free you (And free you)
But for a beautiful mind, deep is the way
Don't let them break you
You're going to break through
Take the mind that time gave you
Take my love and my time too
A beautiful mind that will both terrify and free you (And free you)
But for a beautiful mind, deep is the way, deep is the way
Songwriters: Tim Harvey / William Rahr Callahan / Gena Rose Bruce

Tom Waits - "Downtown Train"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLtZKkCIVmI
Outside another yellow moon
Has punched a hole in the nighttime mist
I climb through the window and down to the street
I'm shining like a new dime
The downtown trains are full
Full of all them Brooklyn girls
They try so hard to break out of their little worlds
You wave your hand and they scatter like crows
They have nothing that'll ever capture your heart
They're just thorns without the rose
Be careful of them in the dark
Oh, if I was the one you chose to be your only one
Oh, baby
Can't you hear me now?
Can't you hear me now?
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train?
Every night, every night it's just the same
On a downtown train
I know your window and I know it's late
I know your stairs and your doorway
I walk down your street and past your gate
I stand by the light of the four way
And watch them as they fall, oh baby
They all having their heart attacks
They stay at the carnival
But they'll never win you back
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train?
Every night, every night, it's just the same
You leave me lonely
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train?
All my dreams, all my dreams fall like rain
On a downtown train
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train?
Every night, every night, it's just the same
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train?
All my dreams, all my dreams, fall like rain
On a downtown train
On a downtown train
All my dreams fall like rain
On a downtown train
