On The Rocks 04:33
Lay me down On the rocks of some other town Break me out From the chains I've been draped around Rake me over the coals Hold my hand All I want is the feeling of home again Crag of sand If you fall all I got is a field to plant Sand me down to the heartwood Lay me out On the edge of a mountain that's fallen down Leave me there On the rocks with my stomach bare Burnish me to a fine glow Can't you see that I know?
2.
Only Love 04:02
I will wait for you to come home And I will hold you like the sweetest dawn tonight Only god knows what the stars would say All my love longs for the end of day tonight Sometimes I fight like a strangled dove Why try to do right if it's only love tonight

I walked down to you I bowed down to you I had faith in you I felt safe with you I was in love with you We've been walked upon We've been trodden on We've been left to rot We've been plain forgot We've been drinking scum We've been stolen from We've got your poison guns We've got nowhere to run All we want is a little land to haunt I was schooled by you I've been fooled by you Blindfolds are tough to lose I've had enough of you We've had to sink or quit We have our lives to live Don't you remember it Don't you recall a bit? All we ask is for a little land to have And all we know is the hope for land to call home
4.
I know that I've got a hard road back Got a long night ahead, got a long path to tread I know now, gotta go somehow Find a place for to rest for the long road ahead But I thought you were dead If the light shines in, why do I hide it? Why don't I jump the fence if I've got a long road ahead? And the things I do, they're what I do for you It must be for the best if it's for the long road ahead But I thought you were dead All the while I've been killing time While the time I pass passes me by And the dreams I had of living free It was a noble plan but it wasn't me It was all I had and it was just a scheme

Baby Tree 03:32
Baby tree, baby tree, drop all your leaves on me Why won't you fall? Orange leaves, orange leaves, let them loose down on me Can't you see all? Baby tree, baby tree, why won't you rain on me I'm just a seed in the ground Orange leaves, orange leaves, take all the shame from me Take it like water from clouds And I know I will come home Fire bright, fire bright, reflect in my wide eyes Clear out the thick forest floor Flaming sky, flaming sky, set your sun in my sight Show me what evening is for And I know I will come home Baby tree, baby tree, why don't you love poor me? Can't you see how hard we try? Orange leaves, orange leaves, wash your gold over me Paint me the color of fire And I know I will come home

Ashland, OR 02:55
Fifteen below I felt that cold City aglow Stranded in snow I nearly froze Open your eyes It's blindingly bright Have we outlasted the night? I'll love you despite That great wall of white Falling in front of my sight
7.
Already Glow 04:15
From the darkness comes a sign That my light is the only one Say I'm wrong, say I'm just a child But this darkness knows me well enough I was born to believe in love Even though it's never enough All I need is a sign my time is up Even though time's never to trust As I slept in the fading light I dreamt That he called me his precious love What a thing to be so heaven-pressed To mistake him for my only one I was made to always know That I walk my path alone All I want is your light to bright my own Even though mine already glows
8.
No More 03:47
We're in a cloud now, our house just fog-filled air Rain on the windows, and your hands are in my hair We're dancing circles around the kitchen floor Your eyes are hungry and my heart can't break no more No more... I'm in a dream now, where my mind can't hold it all Yet I am ready to toss that flaming ball Show me the water, the well I'm waiting for My heart is hungry but my eyes can't take no more No more...
9.
My world Only a dying bird Only the finch that came So small Fit in my mittened palm Fit like a dying flame And even the beaver was cold My heart Peeling like birch bark Laid like a rug for death With gold plates And gifts for those passed away Gifts like a bird's last breath And even a spirit gets bored You and I we're only a fishing line Cast in a flowing stream If I Can hold a bird to die Why wouldn't the world hold me? And even a dreamer grows old And even a beaver gets cold And even a dreamer grows whole.
