10 Josh Ritter is making history

Her eyes are like champagne, They sparkle, bubble over and in the morning all you got is rain -Girl in the War, The Animal Years

I traded all the innocence I ever had for hesitation. Right Moves, Historical Conquests

You said fusion was the broken heart that's lonely's only thought
And all night long you drove me wild with your equations
The Temptation of Adam, Historical Conquests

There's always whiskey and women and women and whiskey around
He can't tell which is worse to be dying of thirst or to drown
Next To The Last True Romantic

I fell in love with your sound
Oh I love to sing along with you
Good Man

What makes the water holy she says is that that it's the closest thing to rain -Wings

All the other girls here are stars—you are the Northern Lights -Kathleen

But I've flown a long way honey hear my confession then I'll go
I'd rather be the one who loves than to be loved and never even know -Snow is gone

All that love, all those mistakes
What else can a poor man make? -Idaho

If what's loosed on earth will be loosed up on high
It's a Hell of a Heaven we must go to when we die
Thin Blue Flame

Now I listen to my sweetheart and I listen to my thirst
I don't spend time listening to other people's words
Sometimes they're right most times the reverse
They say the best is for the best when the best's for the worse
Best for the Best

But I still remember that time when we were dancing
We were dancing to a song that I'd heard
Your face was simple and your hands were naked
I was singing without knowing the words
Wolves
