Trouble & Love Lyrics

 

When A Woman Goes Cold

Gauthier/Peters

She didn’t get mad, she didn’t even cry
She lit a cigarette and said goodbye
I must a’ missed a sign, I missed a turn somewhere
I looked in her eyes, I saw a stranger there

It’s the way she’s made it’s a natural fact
Once she’s really gone, she can’t come back
Ain’t no wedding dress ain’t no band of gold
Gonna keep her there, when a woman goes cold

You’re no longer her concern
Scorched earth cannot burn
It’s out of your control when a woman goes cold
She won’t give an inch she won’t be convinced
Ain’t no mercy in her soul when a woman goes cold

I wish she’d scream and shout, I wish she’d slam a door
I wish she’d curse my name like she’s done before
But she looks through me like I’m not there
And I’m dying here, and she just don’t care

You’re no longer her concern
Scorched earth cannot burn
It’s out of your control when a woman goes cold
She won’t give an inch she won’t be convinced
Ain’t no mercy in her soul when a woman goes cold
When a woman goes cold, when a woman goes cold
When a woman goes cold when a woman goes cold

 

False From True

Gauthier/Chapman

Jagged edges broken parts
Where you end and where I start
Got so tangled up in you
I can’t tell false from true
You woke up inside a cage
I woke up consumed with rage
A million miles from our first kiss
How does love turn into this?

A stranger showed up in your eyes
Hard as steel, cold as ice
I tried and tried but I could not break through
There’s two of you and one don’t feel
And I don’t know which one is real
Loving you has left me black and blue
I can’t tell false from true

Where’d you go where are you now?
Can you feel my heart somehow?
Still so full of love you
But it can’t tell false from true

A stranger showed up in your eyes
Hard as steel, cold as ice
I tried and tried but I could not break through
There’s two of you and one don’t fee
And I don’t know which one is real
Loving you has left me black and blue
I can’t tell false from true
I can’t tell false from true

 

Trouble and Love

Gauthier/Nolan

At the Downtowner, near the Roosevelt Baths
Forty-eight fifty if you pay in cash
Spanish television up through the floor
Desk clerk don’t look up when I walk by anymore

Blizzard outside, blizzard in her heart
Lonely travelers and cheap motel art
Snow is falling on snow that fell on snow
I said hold on baby please don’t let go

Trying to catch my breath, she moved so fast
Rumble strips, red lights, broken glass
Twisted steel, sirens, and blood
Love and trouble, trouble and love

SOLO                                                         

A head full of dreams, a chest full of hurt
Friends say walk on; it’s more trouble than it’s worth
But my will is gone and my head hangs low
It ain’t the leaving, it’s the way you go

Trying to catch my breath, she moved so fast
Rumble strips, red lights, broken glass
Twisted steel, sirens, and blood
Love and trouble, trouble and love
Love and trouble, trouble and love
Love and trouble, trouble and love
Love and trouble, trouble and love

 

Oh Soul

Gauthier/Glover

Black clouds blowing ‘cross a blustery sky
Black clouds blowing ‘cross a blustery sky
South of Highway 7 all alone crying
Oh soul I sold you away

When you sell your soul it opens a deep dark hole
When you sell your soul it opens a deep dark hole
Drink ‘ll leave you thirsty fire ’ll leave you cold
Oh soul I sold you away

Oh my soul I sold you away oh my soul I sold you away
Oh my soul I sold you away oh soul I sold you away

It started with desires sweet soft kiss
It started with desires sweet soft kiss
Ended in an alley with my face against a fist
Oh soul I sold you away

Oh my soul I sold you away oh my soul I sold you away
Oh my soul I sold you away oh soul I sold you away

Redemption, redemption have mercy on me
Redemption, redemption have mercy on me
A body’s but a prison when the soul’s a refugee
Oh soul I sold you away

I’m pulling into Greenwood to get down on my knees
Pulling into Greenwood to get down on my knees
By Robert Johnson’s grave pray my soul back to me
Oh soul I sold you away

Oh my soul I sold you away oh my soul I sold you away
Oh my soul I sold you away oh soul I sold you away

Worthy

Gauthier/Chapman

It took a mighty blow to crack me to the core
To finally come to know I could ask for more
I’ve wondered all my life, why I felt so alone          
Trying to survive, how could I have known?

Worthy, worthy, what a thing to claim
Worthy, worthy ashes into flame
Worthy

Left stumbling in the dark, I had to go within
So I traced my scars, back to where I’d been
A diamond in the dirt, perfectly concealed
Down beneath the hurt, it’s been so hard to feel

Worthy, worthy, what a thing to claim
Worthy, worthy ashes into flame
Worthy

bridge

I walked through a wall of fire
Left behind the only life I knew
No way back, no place to hide
When a voice came through

Worthy, worthy, what a thing to claim
Worthy, worthy ashes into flame
Worthy

 

Walking Each Other Home

Gauthier/Peters

I’m just now getting round to letting go
But you had your suitcase packed a long time ago
The road got rough and you got ahead of me
I tried to pull you back, now I know you had to leave

We put each other through a world of hurt
Maybe that’s the way it is on this side of the dirt
Nobody wants to be alone
I hope you’re happy now, I heard you found someone

I don’t know how this story’s supposed to go
I don’t know a lot of things that other people know
But it ain’t about the money, ain’t about who’s right or wrong
We’re all just walking each other home

Somewhere between Cain and Able, that’s where we live
It’s only human to take more than you give
To reach for a fix to fill you up
Take away the pain oh but that’s not love

I don’t know how this story’s supposed to go
I don’t know a lot of things that other people know
It ain’t about the money ain’t about who’s right or wrong
We’re all just walking each other home

Ain’t for me to say what’s bad or good
In the end I know we did the best we could

I don’t know how this story’s supposed to go
I don’t know a lot of things that other people know
It ain’t about the money ain’t about who’s right or wrong
We’re all just walking each other home

 

How You Learn To Live Alone

Gauthier/Peters

­

First you fall then you fly
And you believe that you belong up in the sky
Flap your arms as you run, every revolution
Brings you closer to the sun
You fall asleep in motion in uncharted hemispheres
And wake up with the stars falling down around your ears
When they hit the ground they’re nothing but stones
That’s how you learn to live alone
That’s how you learn to live alone

Bit by bit, you slip away
You loose yourself in pieces in the things that you don’t say
You’re not here, but you’re still there
The sun goes up, the sun goes down
And you’re not sure you care
You live inside the false, till you don’t recognize the true
People send you pictures, and you can’t believe it’s you
It’s been years since your house has felt like home
That’s how you learn to live alone
That’s how you learn to live alone

It don’t feel right, but it’s not wrong
It’s just hard to start again this far along
Brick by brick, the letting go
As you walk away from everything you know
You release resistance, lean into the wind
Till the roof begins to crumble and the rain comes pouring in
And you sit there in the rubble, till the rubble feels like home
That’s how you learn to live alone
That’s how you learn to live alone
That’s how you learn to live alone

 

Another Train

Gauthier/Glover

Got me an apartment
On the East Side
1411 13th Street
I walk on the tracks by
The Cumberland River
Over the bridge past lovers leap

I’m moving on, through the pain, through the pain
Waiting on another train, another train
      

Tore a hole in the pocket
Of the jacket you bought me
In that thrift store in Camden Town
Behind the station you wrapped your arms ‘round me
You built me up and tore me down

But I’m moving on, through the pain, through the pain
Waiting on another train, another train

December sunset
I can see my breath
Disappear in the cold winter night
Bums gathering driftwood
Down by the river
Whistle blows a lonesome cry  

I’m moving on, through the pain, through the pain
Waiting on another train, another train, another train  
Moving on, through the pain, through the pain
Waiting on another train, another train
There’ll be another train
