River, stay away from my door You keep going your way I'll keep going my way River, stay away from my door I just got a cabin You don't need my cabin River, stay away from my door Don't come up any higher I'm so all alone Leave my bed and my fire That's all I own I ain't breaking your heart Don't go breaking my heart River, stay away from my door Oh lord, ain't I been faithful And worked damn hard in the sweat and sun Oh lord, didn't I pray to you And thanked you for all you've done Oh lord, you made the river But won't you try to remember that you made me too Oh lord, hear me pray to you And make the river hear my plea I'll keep breaking your heart Don't go breaking my heart River, stay away from my door Oh river, stay away from my door River, stay away from my door Paper bag I was staring at the sky, just looking for a star To pray on, or wish on, or something like that I was having a sweet fix of a daydream of a boy Whose reality I knew, was a-hopeless to be had But then the dove of hope began its downward slope And I believed for a moment that my chances Were approaching to be grabbed But as it came down near, so did a weary tear I thought it was a bird, but it was just a paper bag Hunger hurts and I want him so bad, oh, it kills 'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold Hunger hurts, but starving works When it costs too much to love And I went crazy again today Looking for a strand to climb, looking for a little hope Baby said he couldn't stay Wouldn't put his lips to mine and a fail to kiss is a fail to cope I said, "Honey, I don't feel so good, don't feel justified Come on put a little love here in my void," He said, "It's all in your head," And I said, "So's everything" but he didn't get it I thought he was a man but he was just a little boy Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh, it kills 'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold Hunger hurts, but starving works When it costs too much to love Hunger hurts but I want him so bad, oh, it kills 'Cause I know I'm a mess that he don't wanna clean up I got to fold because these hands are just too shaky to hold Hunger hurts, but starving works me When it costs too much to love Oh, hunger hurts but I want him so bad, oh, it kills Because I know that I'm a mess that he don't wanna clean up I got to fold because these hands are just too shaky to hold Hunger hurts, but starving, it works When it costs too much to love, hmm, hmm
That's still about three times the number of people that saw it live. I was lucky enough to be there. It was the second set of Jon's show and we had no idea what we were in for.
