Barton Hollow
20 Years
Joy Williams and John Paul White
There's a note underneath your front door
That I wrote twenty years ago
Yellow paper and a faded picture
And a secret in an envelope
There's no reasons, no excuses
There's no second-hand alibis
Just some black ink on some blue lines
And a shadow you won't recognize
In the meantime, I'll be waiting
For twenty years and twenty more
I'll be praying for redemption
And your note underneath my door
And your note underneath my door
I've Got This Friend
Joy Williams and John Paul White
I've got this friend, I don't think you know him
He's not much for words, he's hidden his heart away
Oh, I've got this friend, a loveless romantic
All that he really wants is someone to want him back
Oh, if the right one came
If the right one came along
Oh, if the right one came along
I've got this friend, I don't think you know her
She sings a simple song that sounds a lot like his
I've got this friend holding onto her heart
Like it's a little secret, like it's all she's got to give
Oh, if the right one came
If the right one came along
Oh, if the right one came along
It'd be such a shame if they never meet
She sounds lovely, he sounds right out of a dream
If only, if only, if only
Oh, if the right one came
If the right one came along
Oh, (I've got this friend)
If the right one came
If the right one came along
Oh, (I've got this friend)
If the right one came along
C'est La Mort
Joy Williams and John Paul White
Swan dive down eleven stories high
Hold your breath until you see the light
You can sink to the bottom of the sea
Just don't go without me
Go get lost where no one can be found
Drink so long and deep until you drown
Say your goodbyes but darling if you please
Don't go without me
C'est la vie
C'est la mort
You and me
Forevermore
Let's walk down the road that has no end
Steal away where only angels tread
Heaven or hell or somewhere in between
Cross your heart to take me when you leave
Don't go, please don't go
Don't go without me
To Whom It May Concern
Joy Williams and John Paul White
Why are you so far from me?
In my arms is where you ought to be
How long will you make me wait?
I don't know much more I can take
I've missed you
But I haven't met you
Oh how I want to
How I do
Slowly counting down the days
Till I finally know your name
The way your hand feels round my waist
The way you laugh, the way your kisses taste
I've missed you
But I haven't met you
Oh how I want to
How I do
How I do
I've missed you
But I haven't met you
Oh I've missed you
But I haven't met you
Oh but I want to
Oh how I want to
Dear whoever you might be
I'm still waiting patiently
Poison & Wine
Joy Williams and John Paul White and Chris Lindsey
You only know what I want you to
I know everything you don't want me to
Your mouth is poison, your mouth is wine
You think your dreams are the same as mine
I don't love you but I always will
I don't love you but I always will
I don't love you but I always will
I always will
I wish you'd hold me when I turn my back
The less I give the more I get back
Your hands can heal, your hands can bruise
I don't have a choice, but I still choose you
I don't love you but I always will
I don't love you but I always will
I don't love you but I always will
I don't love you but I always will
I always will
I always will
I always will
I always will
My Father's Father
Joy Williams and John Paul White
I hear something hanging on the wind
I see black smoke up around the bend
I've got my ticket and I'm going to go
Home
The leaves have changed a time or two
Since the last time the train came through
I've got my ticket and I'm going to go
Home
My father's father's blood is on the tracks
A sweet refrain drifts in from the past
I've got my ticket and I'm going to go
Home
The winding roads that led me here
Burn like coal and dry like tears
So here's my hope, my tired soul
Here's my ticket, I want to go
Home
Home
Home
Barton Hollow
Joy Williams and John Paul White
I'm a dead man walking here
But that's the least of all my fears
Ooh, underneath the water
It's not Alabama clay
That gives my trembling hands away
Please forgive me father
Ain't going back to Barton Hollow
Devil gonna follow me e'er I go
Won't do me no good washing in the river
Can't no preacher man save my soul
Did that full moon force my hand?
Or that unmarked hundred grand?
Ooh, underneath the water
Please forgive me father
Miles and miles in my bare feet
Still can't lay me down to sleep
If I die before I wake
I know the Lord my soul won't take
I'm a dead man walking
I'm a dead man walking
Keep walking and running and running for miles
Keep walking and running and running for miles
Keep walking and running and running for miles
Ain't going back to Barton Hollow
Devil gonna follow me e'er I go
Won't do me no good washing in the river
Can't no preacher man save my soul
The Violet Hour
Joy Williams and John Paul White
Girl With The Red Balloon
Joy Williams and John Paul White
There's a pub on the south side of town
Time stands still while there's still wine around
She's the one in the calico
The one who's always and never alone
Did she let him go?
Or did the four winds blow him away?
Does she even know?
She's the girl with the red balloon
Keep her glass full of cheap champagne
She will tell of a man with no name
Smoke and mirrors have done her in
She's in love and she won't be again
Did she let him go?
Or did the four winds blow him away?
Does she even know?
She's the girl with the red balloon
So lovely
So lonely
Floating away
Did she let him go?
Or did the four winds blow him away?
Does she even know?
Did she let him go?
Or did the four winds blow him away?
Does she even know?
She's the girl
She's the girl with the red balloon
Falling
Joy Williams and John Paul White
Haven't you seen me sleepwalking?
Cause I've been holding your hand
Haven't you noticed me drifting?
Oh let me tell you, I am
Tell me it's nothing
Try to convince me
That I'm not drowning
Oh let me tell you, I am
Please, please tell me you know
I've got to let you go
I can't help falling out of love with you
Why am I feeling so guilty?
Why am I holding my breath?
Worried about everyone but me
And I just keep losing myself
Tell me it's nothing
Try to convince me
That I'm not drowning
Oh let me tell you, I am
Please, please tell me you know
I've got to let you go
I can't help falling out of love with you
Won't, won't you read my mind?
Don't you make me lie here
And die here
Please, please tell me you know
I've got to let you go
I can't help falling out of love with you
With you
Haven't you noticed?
I'm sleepwalking
Forget Me Not
Joy Williams and John Paul White
I've been a-waiting for you
And you've been a-waiting for me
Tell me that you'll always be true
And you'll be the only one for me
Forget me not, my dear, my darling
Forget me not, my love
I just want to hold your hand
Hang on every word you say
Let's write a song for us
And sing it till we're old and gray
Forget me not, my dear, my darling
Forget me not, my love
I'm coming home real soon
Please leave a light on for me
Tell me that you'll always be true
And you'll be the only one for me
Yes, you'll be the only one for me
Birds Of A Feather
Joy Williams and John Paul White
Where she walks no flowers bloom
He's the wall I see right through
She's the absinthe on my lips
The splinter in my fingertips
But who could do without you?
But who could do without you?
She's the sea I'm sinking in
He's the ink under my skin
Sometimes I can't tell where I end
Where I leave off and he begins
But who could do without you?
But who could do without you?
Oh, aren't we a pretty, pretty pair?
Yes, we are
All, all the king's horses and all of his men
Couldn't tear us apart
Dancing with a ball and chain
Through it all we still remain
Like butterflies around a flame
Till ashes, ashes, we fade away
Poison & Wine EP
Poison & Wine
Joy Williams and John Paul White and Chris Lindsey
You only know what I want you to
I know everything you don't want me to
Your mouth is poison, your mouth is wine
You think your dreams are the same as mine
I don't love you but I always will
I don't love you but I always will
I don't love you but I always will
I always will
I wish you'd hold me when I turn my back
The less I give the more I get back
Your hands can heal, your hands can bruise
I don't have a choice, but I still choose you
I don't love you but I always will
I don't love you but I always will
I don't love you but I always will
I don't love you but I always will
I always will
I always will
I always will
I always will
Go
Joy Williams and John Paul White
Why do you keep looking out the window
Is it something left behind or never found
Hm, do I even want to know
Now if you knew what I was thinking
I wonder if it'd even draw a dear
Oh, there's just one way to find out
Go
Go
Go
Did sirens steal your heart when you weren't looking
Where'd you learn to lie the way you do
Looks like you made up your mind
I'd have to say I didn't see this coming
But who does
You want to see me standing in the door
So go
Go
Go
I don't want to hurt you (Do you ever listen)
I don't want to run (You're not the only one)
I don't want to touch you (Tired of being broken)
Oh look what we've become (Look what we've become)
I don't even care (I don't really need you)
I don't want to go
Go
Go
I don't want to go (I don't want to stay)
I don't want to stay (I don't want to go)
Pressing Flowers
Joy Williams and John Paul White
Meet me in the garden where the weeds grow tall
Down by the gate
I got a secret that I might tell
It'll give me away
Ooo whatever you do
Ooo keep it with you
Meet me on the back porch where ivy climbs
We'll sit on the swing
Soak up the color of the midday sun
While the ocean sings
Ooo whatever you do
Ooo keep it with you
You and I o we're just pressing flowers
They are dying
But they're ours
Meet in a poem of an iron bed
Wipe the dust away
Meet me in the tintypes from long ago
Trace the lines of my face
Ooo whatever you do
Ooo keep it with you
Ooo whatever you do
Ooo keep it with you
Tip of My Tongue
Joy Williams and John Paul White
You're a red string tied to my finger
A little love letter I carry with me
You're sun light, smoke rings and cigarettes
Old lines and kisses from silver screens
Oh dear, never saw you coming
Oh my, look what you have done
You're my favorite song
Always on the tip of my tongue
You own me with whispers like poetry
Your mouth is a melody that I've memorized
So sweet, I hear it echo
Everywhere I go day and night
Oh dear, never saw you coming
Oh my, look what you have done
You're my favorite song
Always on the tip of my tongue
The tip of my tongue
Oh dear, never saw you coming
Oh my, look what you have done
You're my favorite song
Always on
Oh dear, never saw you coming
Oh my, look what you have done
You're my favorite song
Always on the tip of my tongue

He's not much for words, he's hidden his heart away

Like it's a little secret, like it's all she's got to give
Oh, if the right one came
If the right one came along
Oh, if the right one came along
It'd be such a shame if they never meet
She sounds lovely, he sounds right out of a dream
If only, if only, if only
Oh, if the right one came
If the right one came along
Oh, (I've got this friend)
If the right one came
If the right one came along
Oh, (I've got this friend)
If the right one came along
