Introduction

I’ll leave in the morning light
And wake up in the afternoon
Can’t remember who is wrong or right
But it’s just how it goes
And it’s what we choose
Every kite has a twisted tale
Built to rise but tethered underneath
Only comes to life, if it can sail
It’s just how it goes
On a string we reach

Holy River
03:07
|

|
I like the way summer hits on the trees
Like the winter was conspiring up a new shade of green
Like the color of my love when you're gonna leave
Holy river’s gonna do what it please
I like the way shadows cast on valley
Like the sky’s way of saying it's okay to be unhappy
I know a storm’s gonna roll right on through
But holy river is gonna do what it does
Oh Holy River won’t you shape this heart of stone
Break me to pieces so I can kneel at your throne
Oh Holy River won’t you shape this heart of stone
And move me right along, and lay me down where I belong
I feel the weight of the air hanging down
I like the taste of the heat as it falls to the ground
Nothing to do, but take it real slow
And holy river gonna go where it goes
I like the sound of the lightening bugs buzzin’
The night’s finest show and you don’t pay for nothin’
I know the light, won’t last here too long
But holy river gonna sing that same song
Oh Holy River won’t you shape this heart of stone
Break me to pieces so I can kneel at your throne
Oh Holy River won’t you shape this heart of stone
And move me right along, and lay me down where I belong
Oh Holy river don’t you leave me too long
Oh Holy river don’t you leave me too long

Room For Us All
03:27
|

|
Well if you want to walk proud
Or just a little bit taller
Then you can never look down at me on my knees
Cause that will make you grow smaller
When your heads hanging low
Days are long, nights get harder
But there is always my hand, baby
To help you get on the latter
So won’t you go on and shine, shine your light
Plenty of room in the sky
It’ll come back around
Cause the ground keeps us spinning
But will you do it the same old way that it came
Or will you change how your feeling
Could you hold your head high
Come judgment day there’s no warning
Ain’t no escaping the trial, baby
When the verdict is coming
So won’t you go on and shine, oh shine your light
Plenty of room in the sky
So won’t you come on and shine your light
There’s always plenty of room in the sky
It keeps on pushing us along
Till the moments gone
I’ll love you still
I can never take too long
It keeps on moving on
It always will
So won’t you go on and shine, oh shine your light
Plenty of room in the sky
So won’t you come on and shine your light
There’s always plenty of room in the sky

Cut Through
03:49
|
|||
|
It keeps on pouring, over and over
Nothing like deluge (delusions) to pull you down further
It goes like drip drop through the leak in the top of my mind
Pooling like rivers along mountainsides
They’re looking to find a way to cut through
Push on through
I’m looking to find my way to cut through
Push on through
And I’m never turning back
A turn of the table, play it over and over
Nothing like melody to soothe what is hurting
It goes like tick tock, get me lost in the rhythm of time
Pulling me closer and back to the light
That’s looking to find its way to cut through
Push on through
I’m looking to find my way to cut through
Push on through
And I’m never turning back
Well I’m never gonna get all kinds of upset
Over old news
I never feel the longing to get a sense of belonging
What’s the use
When nobody can do it like I do
I said that nobody can do it like I can do
Oh I’m looking to find a way to cut through
Push on through
I’m looking to find my way to cut through
Push on through
And I’m never turning back

Ship Has Sailed
04:36
|
|||
|
Oh I’m waiting on some blues skies
And praying for some rain
And I’m walking in the moonlight
Cause sunshine never came
And I’m talking to myself
Along with everyone else
Oh ain’t nobody can tell me now
That there’s two sides to every tale
If you’re looking for an easy way out
That ship has sailed
Oh i’m up driving up the coastline
Through Pescadero grays
And that river by the highway
Just doesn't run the same
And I’m watching the western lights
Build until they blind
So ain’t nobody can tell me now
That there’s two sides to every tale
If you’re looking for an easy way out
That ship has sailed
Plastic texas is breaking down
Currents currently
Toss it back and toss it out
At the cost of the mighty sea
So ain’t nobody can tell me now
That there’s a happy ending to this tale
If you’re looking for an easy way out
That ship has sailed
If you’re thinking just about yourself now
That ship has sailed
Give me some holy, holy water
Heal me from the deep
Holy, holy water
Only think that gonna set us free

Love on Loan
03:20
|
|||
|
I held your hand for the first time last fall
In a town that nobody knows
Well we danced through the night with nowhere to go
But my love was always on loan
Spent each night that winter with you by my side
The glow from the timber was warm
No loneliness calling me for the first time
But my love was always on loan
My love was always on loan
Oh the wind must blow it carries me along
Oh the tides must rise and I’ll just keep moving on
Well I drove to the city in search of the sights and sounds
Of the buses at dawn
Walked through the garden of shadow and light
Just to search for a love I could own
Well I saw you playing on the corner of Waverly
I tossed my last coin, paid hello
And I cried standing there in my jacket threadbear
I was lost in a love all alone
I was lost in a love all alone
Oh the wind and snow they carry me along
Oh the tides must rise and I’ll just keep moving on
I stopped by and saw an old friend of mine
His light was burning low
He held out his hand and said please come on in
Can I borrow some lovin’ on loan
Well we danced through the night with nowhere to go
Cuz my love is always
For now in all ways
My love is always on loan
And the wind will blow wherever it goes
But my love is always on loan

June
04:10
|

|
In a fey and wild mood
Ready for what’s to come
Like a match without a fuse
Or a rebel on the run
Well I’ve never been unlucky, baby
I’ve got sugar on my tongue
No wiseman can refute
What I’ve been saying all along
So June, what ya gonna do
With your pockets running empty and nothing left to lose
Oh June, what ya gonna do
With no friends around to help you, and no one to take you through the blues
You're a fly and classy lady
With a hold on a silver spoon
But nothing’s happened lately
And nothings happening soon
So won’t tell me now June, what ya gonna do
With your pockets running empty and nothing left to lose
Oh June, what ya gonna do
With no friends around to help you, and no one to take you through the blues
Oh come my way, cause there's nothing left to take in yesterday
Oh come my way cause getting kind of late to leave yesterday
And I know you hear the tune
Oh come on June, what ya gonna do
With your pockets running empty and nothing left to lose
Oh June, what ya gonna do
With no friends around to help you, and no one to take you through
Won’t you tell me June, Tell it to me true
With your pockets running empty and nothing left to lose
Oh June, what ya gonna do
With no friends around to help you, and no one to take you through
The blues
The blues

Switch in the Track
03:43
|
|||
|
Deep in the gaze of a looking glass haze,
How should I know where to go?
Smaller than right and I’m warped by the light
I don’t know where to go.
Places will fool you
In mazes you’ll lose your mind
So take me on back to the switch in track this time
I chased my shadow and caught in a thimble so I’m told
Flew out a window to chase down the bright of another world
Well I gotta go
Cause deserts remember there’s life
in the throws of a storm
So take me on back to the switch in the track before
I burned a hole in the center of all that’s been named
Came up the bottom and danced in a ballroom of fame
Well love after midnight
Is alight in times of pain
So take me on back to the switch in the track again
So take me on back to the switch in the track

Rhododendron
03:21
|

|
I stopped and started talking to a man named Jerry
Who was sitting on the corner of Church
Church and State
He said he was killing time because he lost his wife of thirty years
Just a month before
The current date
I said, I’d like to stay awhile
He said, let’s just sit and wait
Sit and wait
Cause you can’t settle down if you never sink in
Like rhododendrons blooming in the soft southern wind
Good things come to those who learn how to wait
So I guess I’m going home now
But I’m sure glad I passed this way
The sun started dipping low behind the smokey rim
Of the Blue Ridge mountain range
To mark another day
Cause’ out here in North Carolina the Laurel river
Drowns the sounds of the passing lanes
Of the interstate
I said I might just stay awhile
He said, it’s never too late
Just to sit and wait
Cause you can’t settle down if you never sink in
Like rhododendrons blooming in the soft southern wind
Good things come to those who learn how to wait
So I guess I’m going home now
But I’m sure glad I passed this way
I guess we’re all just killing time until we learn to live
And take it day by day
Ain’t no other way
Cause you can’t settle down if you never sink in
Like rhododendrons blooming in the soft southern wind
Good things come to those who learn how to wait
So I guess I’m going home now
But I’m sure glad I passed this way
