FLOATER

Down over the window
From the dazzling sunlit rays
through the back alleys, through the blinds
another one of them endless days

Honey bees are buzzing
leaves begin to stir
I'm in love with my second cousin
I tell myself I could be happy forever with her

I keep listening for footsteps
but I ain't never hearing any
from the boat, I fish for bullheads
I catch a lot, sometimes too many

A summer breeze is blowin'
a squall is setting in
sometimes it's just plain stupid
to get into any kind of wind

Well the old men 'round here
sometimes they get on bad terms
with the younger men,
old, young, age don't carry weight
it doesn't matter in the end

One of the boss' hangers-on
Sometimes comes to call
At times you least expect
Tryin' to bully you, strongarm you,
inspire you with fear
It has the opposite effect

There's a new grove of trees on the outskirts of town
the old one is long gone
10 foot, 2 foot, 6 across
Burns with the bark still on

They say times are hard
if you don't believe it you can follow your nose
it don't bother me, times are hard anywhere
we'll just have to see how it goes

My old man, he's like some feudal lord
he's got more lives than a cat
I've never seen him quarrel with my mother even once
things come alive or they fall flat

You can smell the pine wood burnin'
you can hear the school bell ring
got to get up near the teacher, if you can
if you wanna learn anything

Romeo, he said to Juliet, you got a poor complexion
it don't give you an appearance or a youthful touch
Juliet said back to Romeo,
why don't you just shove off,
if it bothers you so much

They got outta here any way they could
Cold rain can give you the shivers
they went down the Ohio, the Cumberland, the Tennessee,
all the rest of them rebel rivers

If you ever try to interfere with me
or cross my path again
you do so at the peril of your life
I'm not quite as cool, or forgiving as I sound
I've seen enough heartache and strife

My grandfather was a duck trapper,
he could do it with just dragnets and ropes
my grandmother could sew new dresses out of old cloth
I don't know if they had any dreams or hopes

I had 'em once, though I suppose
To go along with all the ring dancing,
Christmas carols and all the Christmas eves
I left all my dreams and hopes
buried under tobacco leaves

Not always easy kicking someone up
got to wait awhile, it can be an unpleasant task
sometimes somebody wants you to give something up
And tears or not, it's too much to ask.

ONE MORE CUP OF COFFEE

Your breath is sweet
Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky.
Your back is straight, your hair is smooth
On the pillow where you lie.
But I don't sense affection
No gratitude or love
Your loyalty is not to me
But to the stars above.

One more cup of coffee for the road,
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below.

Your daddy he's an outlaw
And a wanderer by trade
He'll teach you how to pick and choose
And how to throw the blade.
He oversees his kingdom
So no stranger does intrude
His voice it trembles as he calls out
For another plate of food.

One more cup of coffee for the road,
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below.

Your sister sees the future
Like your mama and yourself.
You've never learned to read or write
There's no books upon your shelf.
And your pleasure knows no limits
Your voice is like a meadowlark
But your heart is like an ocean
Mysterious and dark.

One more cup of coffee for the road,
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below.

ONE CUP OF COFFEE

One cup of coffee, then I'll go;
Though I just dropped by to let you know
That I'm leaving you tomorrow;
I'll cause you no more sorrow:
One cup of coffee, then I'll go.

I brought the money like the lawyer said to do,
But it won't replace the 'eartache I caused you;
It won't take the place of lovin' you, I know,
So one cup of coffee, then I'll go.

Tell the kids I came last night
And kissed them while they slept;
Make my coffee sweet and warm
Just the way you used to lie in my arms.

I brought the money like the lawyer said to do,
But it won't replace the 'eartache I caused you;
It won't take the place of lovin' you, I know,
So one cup of coffee, then I'll go;
One cup of coffee, then I'll go;
One cup of coffee, then I'll go.

Bukalah Matamu
(Open Your Eyes Versi Melayu)

Disekitarmu tidakkah kau menyaksikan
Terbentang nan luas awan yang berarak
Langit yang membiru aturan cakrawala
Mentari dan bulan harmoni sempurna

Tanyalah ke dalam diri
Tak cukup lagikah bukti
butakah hati menolaknya ke tepi

Kita perlu buka mata hati dan minda
Saksikan semua petanda
Mampukah menafikannya
Terpaku tak terkata

Berikanlah kami petunjuk
Allah
Ke arah jalan Mu yang lurus
Allah
Dekat dengan Mu selama-lamanya

Dalam dirimu sungguh teraturnya
Tanpa kau sedari dialiran darahmu
Cinta, kasih dan rindu itu
Seluruh jiwa raga
Mampukah kau mengapainya
Bukankah ia nyata

Tanyalah ke dalam diri
Tak cukup lagikah bukti
butakah hati menolaknya ke tepi

Kita perlu buka mata hati dan minda
Saksikan semua petanda
Mampukah menafikannya
Terpaku tak terkata

Berikanlah kami petunjuk
Allah
Ke arah jalan Mu yang lurus
Allah
Dekat dengan Mu selama-lamanya

Lahirnya si kecil lemah tak bermaya
Kau lihatnya membesar
Kenapa kau buta dihadapan mata
Keajaiban yang nyata

Kita perlu buka mata hati dan minda
Saksikan semua petanda
Mampukah menafikannya
Terpaku tak terkata

Berikanlah kami petunjuk
Allah
Ke arah jalan Mu yang lurus
Allah
Dekat dengan Mu selama-lamanya

Lahirnya si kecil lemah tak bermaya
Kau lihatnya membesar
Kenapa kau buta dihadapan mata
Keajaiban yang nyata

Kita perlu buka mata hati dan minda
Saksikan semua petanda
Mampukah menafikannya
Terpaku tak terkata

Berikanlah kami petunjuk
Allah
Ke arah jalan Mu yang lurus
Allah
Dekat dengan Mu selama-lamanya

Buka mata hati dan minda
Saksikan semua petanda
Mampukah menafikannya

Allah menciptakan segalanya
Kami semua menadah tangan
Bersyukur selamanya
Alhamdulillah

Insya Allah (Versi Melayu)


Andainya kau rasa tak berupaya
Hidup sendirian tiada pembela
Segalanya suram
Bagai malam yang kelam
Tiada bantuan tiada tujuan
Janganlah berputus asa
Kerana Allah bersamamu

Insya Allah Insya Allah Insya Allah
Ada jalannya
Insya Allah Insya Allah Insya Allah
Ada jalannya

Andainya dosamu berulang lagi
Bagai tiada ruang untuk kembali
Dikau keliru atas kesilapan lalu
Membelenggu hati dan fikiranmu
Janganlah berputus asa
Kerana Allah bersamamu

Insya Allah Insya Allah Insya Allah
Ada jalannya
Insya Allah Insya Allah Insya Allah
Ada jalannya

Kembalilah Kepada Yang Esa
Yakin padaNya Panjatkanlah doa

Oh Ya Allah
Pimpinlah daku dari tersasar
Tunjukkan daku ke jalan yang benar

Jalan yang benar
Jalan yang benar
Jalan yang benar

Insya Allah Insya Allah Insya Allah
Ada jalannya
Insya Allah Insya Allah Insya Allah
Ada jalannya

Insya Allah Insya Allah Insya Allah
Ada jalannya
Insya Allah Insya Allah Insya Allah

LUAR BIASA

Seandainya mengalir di sini
Yang sejernih apa yang terkunci
Pastinya di dalam diari
Bagailah kasih hati ke hati

Bersemadi segala senyumanmu
Mengusikku oh mengapa
Tak terhidu kucupanmu
Berlagu merdu

Luar biasa
Landa senja suria
Padamu lalu menusukku

Luar biasa
Suara siksa membisu
Akhirnya membunuhmu

Hidup ini puas dipenuhi
Yang sesali tiada berganti
Natijah rasa dizahiri

Bagai dimensi dan hipokrasi
Berselari segala senyumanmu
Mengusikku oh mengapa
Tak terhidu kucupanmu
Berlagu merdu

Luarbiasa
Landa senja suria
Padamu lalu menusukku

Luar biasa
Suara siksa membisu
Akhirnya membunuhku

Tanpa kata tanpa rela
Biarkannya jatuh ke riba
Takkan pudar kisah kita
Nyata dirasa nyata dimatanya
Lalu menusukku

Luar biasa
Penjara siksa sesalan
Dikucupnya virus

Luar biasa
Landa senja suria padamu
Lalu menusukkku

Luar biasa
Suara siksa membisu
Akhirnya membunuhku

Maafkanlah diriku

Back To December

I'm so glad you made time to see me
How's life? Tell me, how's your family?
I haven't seen them in a while

You've been good, busier than ever
We small talk, work and the weather
Your guard is up, and I know why

Because the last time you saw me
Is still burned in the back of your mind
You gave me roses, and I left them there to die

So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you, saying I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time

It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, turn around and make it alright
I go back to December all the time

These days, I haven't been sleeping
Staying up, playing back myself leaving
When your birthday passed, and I didn't call

Then I think about summer, all the beautiful times
I watched you laughing from the passenger side
And realized I loved you in the fall

And then the cold came, the dark days
When fear crept into my mind
You gave me all your love
and all I gave you was goodbye

So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you
saying I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December all the time

It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time

I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile
So good to me, so right
And how you held me in your arms that September night
The first time you ever saw me cry

Maybe this is wishful thinking
Probably mindless dreaming
But if we loved again, I swear I'd love you right

I'd go back in time and change it, but I can't
So if the chain is on your door, I understand

This is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you
saying I'm sorry for that night
And I go back to December

It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I go back to December, turn around and make it alright
I go back to December, turn around and change my own mind
I go back to December all the time, all the time
