If you must you can call me Sam
just leave me where I am
smoking on the stairs
freeing little white ghosts to the winter air
I'll take my precious time
I'm not going too far
I saw you in my dreams
you were shivering cold laying next to me
I wrapped you in my arms
you pulled away and said it did more harm than anything
so you left me where I lay
freeing little white ghosts to waste away another day
I feed my demons well
so they don't go too far
Sam Jones how'd you get so sad
they ask me, Sam Jones how'd you get so sad
well I feed my demons well
so they don't go too far
if you must you can call me Sam
just leave me where I am
freeing little white ghosts

Sweet Victoria

I met her on a Sunday morn
she was all dressed in white
whispering like a summers night
I fell easy for her honest little smile
Oh sweet Victoria
couldn't shake her out of my mind
she fell in love with my sad eyes
we got married well before our time
but oh how our love did grow
never was a wealthy man
i worked my fingers down to the bone
bought a house on the edge of town
one room with a little wood stove
Oh sweet Victoria
I don't think she ever complained
she turned that small room into a home
the winter howled but we kept each other warm
and oh how our love did grow
the winter ran long into the spring
and took its toll on everything
my mind was a darkened hall
and poor Victoria it wasn't her fault
I started drinking in double time
trying to sooth my troubled mind
she got quiet, Victoria
defeated by a stranger in me
and oh how my faults did show

I've never been a man who's wealthy in words
but I can speak when I really need
oh sweet Victoria sometimes it gets hard
for me to say what I really mean
you were the morning sun I was the night
growing darker with every hour
sometimes together we could be a dim light
we would flicker and then disappear
but oh to be so easily in love
in the summer sun we would melt away
and I would kiss your hand
I'd make the simple things so difficult
and you couldn't understand
I 'd get tongue-tied so twisted up
and you'd get so mad
and I would unwind with a flood of words
that I didn't know I had
oh to be so easily in love
and while the summer sun set on our skin
we were two little clouds of smoke

Feed My Demons

came inside
watched you breath
a thousand words
you'd never speak
my harmful arms
held you tight
bruised your skin
I thought I might
Oh Victoria I know I am to blame
dripping dry
free of tears
shook me off
you made it clear
you packed your bags
left your keys
shed your skin
and set yourself free
Oh Victoria I know I am to blame
you drove away
into a fog
I stood still
watched you disappear
but somewhere down
the snowy road
you fell asleep
and someone found you
in morning light
in twisted steel
your body cold
laying still
so here I sit
and recollect
my regrets
feed my demons
