This is the Nicest Man On Earth playing Troubles Will Be Gone at the TakeRoot Festival in Oosterpoort, Groningen.
I think he had a bit of a bad day, he forgot some of his words, but the audience helped him out. For the encore, he asked me if I knew by heart how the first verse of Drying of the Lawns went, but I froze solid, because he was talking to me.

Incredible performance by a highly underestimated individual.

Lyrics:

Oh, when it's god I see in headlights kneeling down on frozen highways
And salvation in white knuckles on a wheel
And the deer is in the audience by the border of the darkness
where forgiveness grows and slowly winds away

Well there's a question somewhere asked with all the answers inside
But I'll never find the kid before she's gone
Well the day is never done, but there's a light on where you're sleeping
So I hope somewhere that troubles will be gone

But now the ghost is in my jacket and my stairs were built in anger
Winding forcefully but end up where I stand
But there are no rocks or salt and nails,
I load my cannons not to kill you
I simply lost the words to tell you I'm afraid

And there's a sign up to a hill to see the far of the land
Well the sign will tell you "turn if there is one"
Still the day is never done, but there's a light on where you're sleeping
So I hope somewhere that troubles will be gone

Oh darling, when it's you I see in headlights, driving down the golden highway
And salvation in the beauty of some brace
And the deer is gone without me to the valley of surrender
There is still another world along its tracks

But there's that sign up to a hill to see the far of the land
Well the sign will say "there's still a higher one"
And now the day is slowly setting, and the light's on where you're sleeping
So I hope somewhere that troubles will be gone...
