I know that it is freezing but I think we have to walk I keep waving at the taxis; they keep turning their lights off But Julie knows a party at some actor's west side loft Supplies are endless in the evening; by the morning they'll be gone. When everything is lonely I can be my own best friend I get a coffee and the paper; have my own conversations With the sidewalk and the pigeons and my window reflection The mask I polish in the evening, by the morning looks like shit. And I know you have a heavy heart; I can feel it when we kiss So many men stronger than me have thrown their backs out trying to lift it But me I'm not a gamble you can count on me to split The love I sell you in the evening, by the morning won't exist. You're looking skinny like a model with your eyes all painted black You just keep going to the bathroom always say you'll be right back Well it takes one to know one, kid, I think you've got it bad But what's so easy in the evening, by the morning is such a drag. I've got a flask inside my pocket we can share it on the train If you promise to stay conscious I will try and do the same We might die from medication, but we sure killed all the pain But what was normal in the evening, by the morning seems insane. And I'm not sure what the trouble was that started all of this The reasons all have run away but the feeling never did It's not something I would recommend, but it is one way to live Cause what is simple in the moonlight, by the morning never is What's so simple in the moonlight, now is so complicated What's so simple in the moonlight, so simple in the moonlight

So be it, I'm your crowbar If that's what I am so far Until you get out of this mess And I will pretend That I don't know of your sins Until you are ready to confess But all the time, all the time I'll know, I'll know And you can use my skin To bury your secrets in And I will settle you down And at my own suggestion I will ask no questions While I do my thing in the background But all the time all the time I'll know I'll know Baby: I can't help you out, While she's still around For the time being, I'm being patient And amidst this bitterness If you'll just consider this Even if it don't make sense All the time, give it time And when the crowd becomes your burden And you've early closed your curtains, I'll wait by the backstage door While you try to find The lines to speak your mind And pry it open, hoping for a encore And if it gets too late, for me to wait For you to find you love me, and tell me so It's okay, don't need to say it

This is the first day of my life Swear I was born right in the doorway I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed They're spreading blankets on the beach Yours is the first face that I saw I think I was blind before I met you Now I don't know where I am I don't know where I've been But I know where I want to go And so I thought I'd let you know That these things take forever I especially am slow But I realize that I need you And I wondered if I could come home Remember the time you drove all night Just to meet me in the morning And I thought it was strange you said everything changed You felt as if you'd just woke up And you said "this is the first day of my life I'm glad I didn't die before I met you But now I don't care I could go anywhere with you And I'd probably be happy" So if you want to be with me With these things there's no telling We just have to wait and see But I'd rather be working for a paycheck Than waiting to win the lottery Besides maybe this time is different I mean I really think you like me

Chimney falls and lovers blaze Thought that I was young Now I've freezing hands and bloodless veins As numb as I've become I'm so tired I wish I was the moon tonight Last night I dreamt I had forgotten my name 'Cause I had sold my soul but awoke just the same I'm so lonely I wish I was the moon tonight God blessed me, I'm a free man With no place free to go I'm paralyzed and collared-tight No pills for what I fear This is crazy I wish I was the moon tonight Chimney falls and lovers blaze Thought that I was young Now I've freezing hands & bloodless veins As numb as I've become I'm so tired, I wish I was the moon tonight How will you know if you found me at last 'Cause I'll be the one With my heart in my lap I'm so tired, I wish I was the moon tonight

Have you ever seen the sunset turn the sky completely red Have you slept beneath the moon and stars, a pine bough for your head Do you sit and talk with friends, though a word is never said Then you’re just like me and you’ve been on the loose On the loose to climb a mountain On the loose where I am free On the loose to live my life the way I think my life should be For I only have a moment, and the whole world yet to see I’ll be looking for tomorrow on the loose There’s a train that I’ve been hiking, just to see where it may go Many places yet to visit, many people yet to know So in following my dreams, I will live and I will grow On the trail that’s waiting out there on the loose On the loose to climb a mountain On the loose where I am free On the loose to live my life the way I think my life should be For I only have a moment, and the whole world yet to see I’ll be looking for tomorrow on the loose So in search of love and laughter, I’ll be traveling through this land Never sure of where I’m going, for I haven’t any plan So in time when you are ready, join me, please, dear take my hand And together we’ll find life out on the loose On the loose to climb a mountain On the loose where I am free On the loose to live my life the way I think my life should be For I only have a moment, and the whole world yet to see I’ll be looking for tomorrow on the loose

Once upon a time, I went on vacation and was excited to resuscitate the Gladdest of Judies. I seriously haven't done this since 2012.
