Blue Jean Baby, stop looking so sad.I’ve seen the future, it ain’t looking that bad.The trees were higher, you were still there.I’m not supposed to tell you anything about it.
You say that all is over now.But I’ve seen it, you’ll get through somehow.You must find the way.Because I’ve seen it, you’ll get through someday.
Blue Jean Baby, what have you done.You lost all faith in everyone.But Blue Jean Baby, it can’t be all bad.Finish this chapter, write another story now.
You say that all is over now.But I’ve seen it, you’ll get through somehow.You must find the way.Because I’ve seen it, you’ll get through someday.

My shoes,
They walked a hundred miles,
So you,
You could at least just stay for a while.It’s the least you could do.You sat staring at me,
I can't take you seriously,
When you looking like that,
Wearing a face like that.Headphones,
Keep me warm on the long walk home,
But you,
Could hold my hand so I'm not alone.It’s the least you could do.You sat looking at me,
I can't take you seriously,
With your hair falling over your eyes,
Trying to hide a smile.What’s the least you could do?

I'm a working man,And I've got working hands,And I've worked the land for ages, hmm.
But the toll this life has taken,Is a back that’s always aching,And if my scars could tell their tales,It'd take a long, long time,You'd hear about broken bones and splinters.
Yeah, tankard ales and long dark winters,A laureate who’s not worried at the rhyme.
Oh but when the rain comes down,I stop the rain from falling on the ground.
I'm a working man,And I've got working hands,I've worked the land for ages, hmm,For ages, hmm.

Traditional arranged byManuel Galvin & Jean-Jacques Milteau

There’s no way I could win against you I’m a sword and you’re the water Rusting me
I don’t care for titles, they’re yours to keep ‘Cause I’m leaving anyway
Now war with yourself

You won’t have to miss me, I’ll be home as soon as the snow covers the ground December is easy, it’s the months before that always bring me down
A ghost without a mission, another year gone by
I’ve been trying to listen to the tears we’ve cried
All I need you to believe is that I’ll be back when I am whole again I’ll find a card up my sleeve, a king or a jack to help me be a man A guest without permission, another gear gone dry
I’m still trying to listen to the tears we’ve cried
Unless you want to come away with me I guess we couldn’t go astray, Andie Andie
Unless you want to come away with me I guess we couldn’t go astray, Andie Andie

Baby I think something’s wrong
We’re living in the shadow of our future Well I’m just too fond of you
And the tidal waves they keep on Erasing our letters in the sand And the sailors won’t even know
Bring back the winter so we can write them in the snow Come on my lover, stay here, oh please don’t go
‘Cause I’m never free without you No I’m never free without you
Maybe we just don’t belong
You’re asking me to be somebody else Well I’m not as strong as you
And the tidal waves they keep on Collapsing our castles to the ground And the swimmers won’t even know
Bring back the winter so we can build them in the snow Come on my lover, stay here, oh please don’t go
‘Cause I’m always lost without you Yeah I’m always lost without you Without you

You're acting all brave like you don't feel a thing Your heart is in glass, you can't hide a storm from me Your tears running down your throat, swallow
A bowling ball, a mouthful of six inch nails
This pain inside your head is killing me
I won't be the one to say that time heals everything Well I know it's true, but you wouldn't want me to Though I've been there a thousand times before Still I never know the words to say
Now who made that hole in your chest Now you deserve some rest
Open the valves and let it flow
You wouldn't want to keep that cancer into you Just don't let your soul get stuck in muddy waters When the fog is gone, you'll find a road ahead
And I'll be there cheering for you Like you've been there before for me For me
