Ventura (lucinda williams)
(wma tuneage)
decide i'm gonna make myself a little something to eat
get a can
down off the shelf, maybe a little something sweet
haven't spoken to no one,
haven't been in the mood
pour some soup, get a spoon, stir it up real
good
go out with a friend, maybe a little music might help
but i
can't pretend - i wish i was somewhere else
i wanna watch
the ocean bend
the edges of the sun, then
i wanna get swallowed
up
in an ocean of love
put on my coat, go out into the street
get a
lump in my throat & look down at my feet
take the long way home
so i can ride around
put neil young on & turn up the
sound
drive up the coastline, maybe ventura
watch the waves make
signs out on the water
[ch]
stand in the shower, clean this dirty
mess
give me back my power & drown this unholiness
lean over the
toilet bowl & throw up my confession
cleanse my soul of this hidden
obsession

Blue (lucinda williams)
(wma tuneage)
go find a jukebox
and see what a quarter will do
i don't
wanna talk
i just wanna go back to blue
feeds me when i'm
hungry
and quenches my thirst
loves me when i'm lonely
and thinks of me
first
blue is the color of night
when the red sun disappears from the
sky
raven feathers shiny and black
a touch of blue glistening
down her back
we don't talk about heaven
and we'll talk about
hell
we've come to depend on
one another so damn well
so go to
confession
whatever gets you through
you can count your blessings
i'll
just count on blue
