Honey how you gonna make it on your own?
Honey how you gonna make it on your own?
When you wake up in the night
And see the stars just city lights
And you can't find home?
You act like you don't need nobody else
And you dance like you don't need nobody else
And all the other moths need light
To circle round while you just fly
Around yourself
Oh I stir my sugar with a spoon
And watch your white dress float around the room
I try to see what you're about
But even my candles are down and out
Honey why you gotta hide your face from me?
Honey why you gotta hide your face from me?
Will I starve in this eclipse
While you treat every hungry kiss
Like one more mouth to feed?
Honey how you gonna make it on your own?
When you wake up in the night
And see the stars just city lights
And you can't find home?
You act like you don't need nobody else
And you dance like you don't need nobody else
And all the other moths need light
To circle round while you just fly
Around yourself
Oh I stir my sugar with a spoon
And watch your white dress float around the room
I try to see what you're about
But even my candles are down and out
Honey why you gotta hide your face from me?
Honey why you gotta hide your face from me?
Will I starve in this eclipse
While you treat every hungry kiss
Like one more mouth to feed?

All that love all those mistakes
What else can a poor man make?
But I gave up a life of crime
I gave it to a friend of mine
Something else was on my mind
The only ghost I'm haunted by
I hear her howling down below
Idaho, Idaho
Wolves oh wolves oh can't you see?
Ain't no wolf can sing like me
And if it could then I suppose
That he belongs in Idaho
Packs of dogs and cigarettes
For those who ain't done packing yet
My clothes are packed and I want to go
Idaho, Idaho
Well, out at sea for seven years
I got your letter in Tangier
I thought that I'd been on a boat
'Til that single word you wrote
That single word it landlocked me
Turned the masts to cedar trees
And the wind to gravel roads
Idaho, Idaho
Beautifullllll.
and the soft music. Very powerful and emotional song.
