Hills and highlands, goats and sheep and cats and dogs and all that creeps and you and me, in between, and I love you, so I do Hills and highlands, all that jazz and rain and coats and all wet grass and time machines, no thanks, I pass! I still love you, so I do Hills and highlands, open skies all we like sheep, like cat and mice, like wolves and rats just in disguise, and I love you, so I do There we go, astray, sometime, just to find new ways and partners in crime, there we go, astray, sometime, just to find new ways and maybe a dime Hills and highlands, goats and sheep and cats and dogs and all that creeps and you and me, inbetween, and I love you, so I do Hills and highlands, rocks and sea and hand in hand your beard and me walk in imperfect harmony, let’s see, I still love you so she says, so I do

Penny 02:52
If I had a penny for every thought that I keep on wasting thinking you'll go I'd be so unbelievably rich when you finally leave me But who knows, I sure don't, where or when, and if you'll still be with me until then, I'll be so damn lucky to have known you like that But there is, I'm almost sure, nothing I could do, if you want to leave first that's up to you, I'll die too for a little while but I'm oh so sure I will have loved you so deeply

Mayday 04:01
I think I'm dying, at least it feels that way, one cell per second, and I'll be gone by May and it hurts so badly, I can't even stand up straight, and I love you madly, until I reach heavens gate there's something strong inside me, eating me up alive now it could be Irish Moonshine, but it's longing grief and strife, and I miss you at night, and I'll miss you all day, and I miss you forever, and I'll miss you in May Mayday, mayday, mayday and all the while I'm dying, I shall be happy for you and all the tears I'm crying are just a Thank-you note My body dissolves in pain, and you wrecked my mind as well, but our souls will meet again, in heaven or in hell ashes to ashes, but you my soulmate I will find, all earthly clashes will be washed away like pints Mayday, mayday, mayday

If I Go 04:57
and if I go, will you still think of me once in a while, how hard I tried to love you like no other and how much more must I endure to say that that’s enough, I’ve had enough, my heart can’t bear anymore and why out of all did I choose you to love you with your baggage, you with your years, you with your women you with excuses, with drinks and weed, you with your damage, just like me you with your laughter, you with your love, you with your tender skin you with your music, you with your thoughts, you of my dreams who I love if only you knew how hard it is, if only you knew how much I wanna stay, if only you knew what you want yourself, if only you knew it could work out well and if I go, will you please keep in mind that I love you, I’ll always do, and I’ll let you go, if I go

Kentucky 04:05
I’ve never been to Kentucky But always far from home I’ve always thought that I’m lucky But never was I so alone As I’m now without you here I’ve never been to Texas But always far from home And all those attempts to fix us Did I always do on my own Without you near and you’ve never seen anything like that with your heart and you’ve never been closer we’ve been to NY and New Hampshire made snow angels in Vermont in Massachusetts we spent our time cooking in Rhode Island you taught me a song and I’ve been singing still of celtic Connecticut connections and friends Mr. and Mississippi In Minnesota we weren’t that close You bought me a ring in Wisconsin And we got rid of all of our clothes In the car on the way To Harmony, L.A. We shook hands But you’ve never seen anything like that with your heart And you’ve never seen closer and I’ve never been to Tennessee Where you seem to be at right now I’ve always thought that we’d be Close to each other somehow And I take a bow Cause it’s all over now
