1.	A Gift For You (In My Closet) - Live At The Dark Horse Tavern 04:36	lyrics
There's a lover on the street tonight Calling for the missing heartbeat by their side There's a mother in a bed full of tears And a father with a rifle, a steering wheel, and a beer Have I got a gift for you in my closest There's an extra pair of shoes in my garbage There's a phone with a tone on the line And a cop and a dog in the woods with a flashlight There's posters on the poles of the town And two tone portraits in the fridges on the milks Have I got a gift for you that'll make you love me There's a red stain on my white shirt in the laundry I've tried and tried to impress you and this is sure to do it I have a gift for you in my closet Have I got a gift for you that'll make you love me There's a heartbeat in the basket with the laundry I've tried and tried to impress you and this is sure to do it Have I got a gift for you in my closet A living, breathing, gift in my closet
2.	The Banks Of The Margaree 06:03
