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?

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

Nowhere To Run
02:56
|

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

Long Road Back
05:19
|
|||
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

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

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...

The Bird Song
03:28
|
|||
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.
