Flying over the Grand Canyon Or some other big riverbed Listening to the Captain talking About some turbulence ahead Hours in the air Hours more in store Layover in Nevada Then it's back up into the air Gone so far away I don't know where to go Gone so far away And being so far away's too close to home I went all around the world to find you Now I'm a world away Every place reminds me How you said I couldn't stay Had to leave your house Had to leave this town I don't want to be anywhere If you don't want me around Gone so far away I don't know where to go Gone so far away And being so far away's too close to home Don't ask me where I'm going Don't ask me where I live Don't ask me where I'm staying Or who I'm staying with Don't ask me where I'm going Don't ask me where I've been I'm just going I'm just going Gone so far away I don't know where to go Gone so far away And being so far away's too close to home

I'm gonna get you pregnant again And that's the last you're gonna see of me I don't wanna be cruel I won't lie to you But that's the way that it's got to be I'm gonna make it worth it your while I'm gonna make it I'm gonna make it worth it your while You're gonna look back and smile I'm gonna ring you out I'm gonna sink in deep You're gonna have a good time right about now You're gonna have a good night's sleep I'm gonna make it worth it your while I'm gonna make it I'm gonna make it worth it your while You're gonna look back and smile Even angels want a piece of the action Everybody's looking for some satisfaction I'm gonna lay you flat on your back You're gonna curse my name and wish me back We're gonna get wild I'm gonna make it worth it your while I'm gonna make it I'm gonna make it worth it your while You're gonna look back and smile We're gonna get wild

San Diego 04:09
This gun's for hire Too shot to fire Too blown to know Frayed at the wires I went to Westworld I did my best girl But sometimes the programming goes awry Before I go to San Diego There's something you should know I might not come back again You never know which way the wind blows Is it blowing me to San Diego? We shut down after dark We swam with the sharks If you bring the frozen peas It makes them all go crazy Eating all the edibles Everything's incredible All the girls are young And easy Before I go to San Diego There's something you should know I might not come back again You never know which way the wind blows Is it blowing me to San Diego? Don't the shoreline look pretty? I'm not trying to write another song About another city Before I go to San Diego There's something you should know I might not come back again You never know which way the wind blows Is it blowing me to San Diego?

Germany 03:56
The sinister accent The cold Teutonic stare The Hollywood heavy Everywhere Since World War II And what you did to the Jew That was generations ago It's got nothing to do with you How long must Germany pay for her crimes? How long must I? It might have to be forever I caught her heart And brought her here We got an apartment But I never made it clear How lost I was How little I had to give I never told her Til the day I left How long must Germany pay for her crimes? How long must I? It might have to be forever It's not the same There's no comparison What if God's to great To know the difference When He's dealing out the punishment? How long must Germany pay for her crimes? How long must I? It might have to be forever

I heard an ancient dance song Timeless and dated It reminds me of the date we had How long I sat and waited Only adolescent memories Can touch the soul that hides within me It's the memory of a memory The feeling of a feeling My heart is like a fortress A city under siege I thought I had a human moment But it was only The Human League We all feel that fascination But that fascination fades Love turns to lust And even that gets lost with age Only self-indulgent frenzy Can touch the heart that hides within me Steel turns to rust Self regard turns to self disgust My heart is like a fortress A city under siege I thought I had a human moment But it was only The Human League Didn't you ever want me baby? Would you want me now? Did you ever want me baby Who could want me anyhow? My heart is like a fortress A city under siege I thought I had a human moment But it was only The Human League

Candy Moon 03:23
It's a candy moon You better taste it soon Cause when the moonlight tastes this sweet The next girl you meet Could be your true love It's a candy moon Starry night in June And the next the boy that you meet Might just sweep you off your feet He could be your true love Hey it's a candy moon Hey good lookers It's all dripping with sugar Oh can't you taste it Don't you waste it Take me back when we were young And the whole night was right there on your tongue It was a candy moon When I met you It was night just like this And if you give me just one kiss I'll be your true love Hey it's a candy moon Hope to see you soon On a honeymoon It's a candy moon

Hitched 02:17
First they were strangers And that was safe These two looked at each other And they knew that that wasn't how they wanted to behave So they got together and now no other Is ever gonna do Now they've decided They got the love that's true They're getting hitched They're getting hitched Soon you won't know who's who And which is which They're getting hitched They're getting hitched You can tell They've got the itch They're getting hitched Soon they were cooking And before too long it wasn't even funny Cause she's so good looking And he, well, he must have a lot of money Every day It's like they're floating by on a bubble Here comes trouble They're turning into one of those married couples They're getting hitched They're getting hitched Soon you won't know who's who And which is which They're getting hitched They're getting hitched You can tell They've got the itch They're getting hitched Life might be a bitch But they don't care a bit They're getting hitched

Found a trouble sunbeam she was bouncing off the walls Caught you in my prism and I put you in my mirror ball Now every Friday night it shone like a Sunday morn And every day was better than the day before You can't keep a sunbeam you can't keep it all the time Flashes on and off and she goes right out of her mind She'll shine you in your eyes and make you blind Oh you went right out the window leaving me behind Now I'm looking for a little light I've been looking for you day and night All the bright lights they don't shine for me You've got to come on back to me I went to Jamaica, I went to Jamaica Queens I went to Coney Island and all the places in between More and more it feels like was all just a beautiful dream Fading on awakening, wondering what it means Now I'm looking for a little light I've been looking for you day and night All the bright lights they don't shine for me You've got to come on back to me I know I was wrong I know I was wrong I know I was a tyrant Now I'm looking for a little light I've been looking for you day and night All the bright lights they don't shine for me You've got to come on back to me

Saw your face In a cool blue light We swam through space together All night But that bastard Sun Broke the spell too soon Keep's breaking in All afternoon I could sleep all day I could sleep for days I could sleep all week I could sleep forever Let me have my dreams Til the morning breaks And takes them away I could sleep all day Roll me out I've got so many things to do I lie right back And dream of you Drag myself from the bed Straight to the desk Start typing letters Oh Dear God I need a rest I could sleep all day I could sleep for days I could sleep all week I could sleep forever Let me have my dreams Til the moment breaks And takes them away I could sleep all day And I'm more tired Than before I lay down Oh my arms and legs Are so heavy But I can't quit now Cause I've got to get out Got to clean myself Got to get ready But I'm not ready I could sleep all day I could sleep for days I could sleep all week I could sleep forever Let me have my dreams Til the morning breaks And takes them away I could sleep all day

Mermaid 03:19
Neil Young left his wife of many years for the lovely Darryl Hannah She played a mermaid, played and android, played a one-eyed femme fetale And now Neil Young, he wants to capture her in song The woman behind the glamour, he's got to wonder, can it even be done? Love takes us strange places Love leaves us in the wilderness Love makes us take chances If we knew any better we would never Let ourselves be swept away Florentino loved Fermina from far away for many years Fermina she got married, with her husband buried Florentino reappears He had so much love to give her, they went up and down the rive When asked how long this could go on they said "Forever" Love takes us strange places Love leaves us in the wilderness Love makes us take chances If we knew any better we would never Let ourselves be swept away You're my mermaid I'm your sailer I want this love To last forever But there's danger in every wave You've got to be brave Love takes us strange places Love leaves us in the wilderness Love makes us take chances If we knew any better we would never Let ourselves be swept away But I swear this love is here to stay

Haunted mansion in the woods Looked like it hadn't seen a soul in years Fixed it up the best I could Cleared a path out to its door Said Girl that's yours Despite the noise at night I thought we'd live in it together And everything would be all right And we'd live like that forever I'll be faithful I'll be true I give all my love to you I'll be patient I'll be strong You're what keeps me holding on And I give all my love to you The voices gave you no rest You thought that you were going crazy But our mysterious guest Said "I'm afraid it's not that easy I know the history of this place It starts in love, it ends in murder!" You laughed right in his face Told him "That's absurd sir." I'll be faithful I'll be true I give all my love to you I'll be patient I'll be strong You're what keeps me holding on And I give all my love to you Last thing I saw Was a figure in the drapes And I was torn apart But I think you escaped Cause I walk these halls And I haven't seen a soul in years And I haunt this house Just hoping you'll appear I'll be faithful I'll be true I give all my love to you I'll be patient I'll be strong You're what keeps me holding on And I give all my love to you

about

This album is the sequel to 2018's Your Love Is All I Can Stand, but works just fine as a stand-alone listen. Packed with songs of love and loss, it is a deeply personal public spectacle of pain and longing.
