On the road And now I sleep without you In my new shoes Far from home But I’m by the phone And I can’t wait to hear your call In the morning Waking up to hear your voice. The road moves on And this song that I wrote On the back of the love note You left inside Of my bag the night That I left town is on my mind As I drive Through the night to another town Oh the mountain folds Meet the road As the snow falls down among the sound. Oh the stars at night Shine bright And the light of the moon fills the sky. Driving home As the sun sets over the West Coast And I’m dressed in my best clothes With the radio high And I’m making time Cause I can’t wait to see you smile In the morning Waking up to see you there Oh the Ocean rolls And I feel my soul Move among the ghosts of old Oh the spirits rise And I see the sign And turn towards this heart of mine And I’m turning Towards you now Because good Gets better somehow

I I often feel And without knowledge That we will rise again It is a feeling and I’m powerless To stop it Follow the Sun II I often feel And without knowledge That we will fall again It is a feeling and I’m powerless To stop it Follow the Moon Moon is out Slow play Forrest Moon III We’re in the dark, Dark, dark woods. Soft wind through the trees. In the dark Of the woods Time to make a change Moon is out Slow play Be a light For the world.

Pictures of doors and walls We used to pass through. All a lifetime ago, But it was our home. Pictures of fields In the fading light With smoking hands Locked into each other When days roll into Nighttime’s soul, And we swapped our sins For sails and all the Deep earth washed over Our heels and we dug into Life’s easy flow. Dug into the things we know. And talked and measured The weight of the stage Of ourselves with eyes Fixed to forever and Always knowing the end of Things are filled with life’s Promise of love anew. Again and again forever through The fading light. --- So let us renew each day Loves promise. Let us hold vigil to The truth of who we are Beyond the skin and After the birth and All time imagined is the magic. And the light that fades For now, as we see it. But always a new breath is Drawn and new dreams are Made and new days and nights Hold the balance and the beat Of the sacred dance we play Again and again forever through The fading light.

Paper Rose 04:36
Thrown out with a kind withdrawal. The shelter descends on the paper walls. I lie beside a dead man talking of machines, That build paper halls. But in the blood that we drink When we're sworn in is the thing we chose. And at our feet in the mud When we sing at our hearing Is a paper rose. A paper rose.

Ranting over what you own. Threatened though I'm just like you. Underneath these rags. Beneath this charade of visual mud. Lies weakness for the world To stretch out and hold myself. Within itself and help me cradle this broken spirit. And hold you in her heaven. But I'm just like you. Surrounded by a fragrant fight. To win against yourself. Against what it is that lets you be beautiful. But you're just like me. In all your shrouded misery. There lies a lie which holds at bay the world you want to open up. And hold you in her heaven.

Photographs of fields in May As the sun goes down. Memories of worlds away In a sleepy town. Driving through the summer air With the windows down. A secret life for all to see In this High Falls town. As the Sun goes down And the waters sound. Sleep among the laundry rooms Waiting on my mind. With just a smile and a way to go And a song inside In all the Bars and Bawler rooms Moving in disguise The Lady of the Wounded Heart Praying for our lives As the Spring goes down Like the waters sound In the olden town In this High Falls town

I want to bury my body Under the mud Drive it 10 miles down And make a deal with the Devil That when we meet again On the other shore That our souls share a moment Like two lights in the night All the faithful departed Hold a flame in their hearts Like the bluebird that sings In the quiet of the dark. I hold him close and he sings To me that love is for the birds. So let’s go gently Down to Hades Where we’ll dwell forever In the quiet of the now. All our lives that came before Are stretched out on the river forlorn But hope will guide us home Where we’ll stay and make a life someday. When all our walls have come down And we’re no longer afraid of ourselves Cause fear is For the birds.

We Us Two 04:46
The two of us, We, Move through walls Together. Alone. Our words Are Naked And Heavy. The God Of Garbage, Ascends To The Old Worlds Floors, And Waves his Garments Through our Good intentions, And our not wanting To hurt Us. So let us hold ourselves Tight This night together. The night Is full Of ghosts, And tunes, And times. Together in Rooms move We, Us, two.

Call me out From this world above What moves me Is so much easier to see From a time so far away Called out my love Come and join me On this cloud above For all I know Is your love From that place in your heart I see you’re so free That’s why You’re so fine to me Call me out To sing about our love Walk the sunlight We’ll be there above All I know is i’ve Stepped into a dream And we swing On this golden perch above And we swing On this golden perch above And we swing On this golden perch above
