Storming through endless desert
Breathing in endangered air
In my sleep I’m softly weeping
Envisioning your smile so fair
But only in my dreams
Our children at your feet
Markets in German winter
Reveille is echoing
I finally find the perfect words to tell you
Everything your loving means
But only in my dreams
I’m lost to say such things
I can’t, can’t know, know home without you
I won’t, won’t grow, grow old without you
(Maybe I can say it loud enough, Maybe I can say it light enough
Maybe I can say it tight enough, Maybe I can say it how I want
Maybe I can say it loud enough, Maybe I can say it right enough
Baby even when I’m fighting tough, It’s true)
Lightning bugs, central texas
Fill the woods around our creek
The waning moon sings aloud our dreams
I love you more than anything
Not only in my dreams
My best friend here with me

Draggin this bag of these bones
Up somewhere no one can follow
But I’ll never leave me alone
Uh, huh
Building this nest with these crows
A worried machine in the hollows
We never could find the controls
Uh, huh
Momma I’m makin a ghost
A slice of my soul for tomorrow
A lie that I hold in my hopes
Uh, huh
I do what I want
It’s a beautiful haunt
A deciduous flaunt
I could never be
Evergreen
It ain’t my speed
I’m temporarily tryin
All that life can be
Tryin to keep my feet
For the road that we walk, is winding.

For You
04:22

I went walking by the river
In a whirling, wandering wind
There you stood like a storm-swept angel, ah
You were talking about the past, and
How you turned your back on him
Now you only see the future, ah
Leavin town on a midnight horse
Taking the reins gonna make a new course
This life is finding out just what we’re put here for, ah
And honey for you, I am for you
I am for you, I am for you
In a wild and oh, familiar way
We were watching the swollen sunset
With our woes all well behind
There you stood like a sun-soaked angel, ah
You were talking, said you loved me
And it set my soul afire
And we walked off there together, ah
Leavin town on a midnight horse
Taking the reins gonna make a new course
This life is finding out just what we’re put here for, ah
And honey for you, Iam for you
I am for you, I am for you
In a wild and oh, familiar way

The Song in My Soul
02:48

Where did you go my faraway land
Where did you go my faraway land
With dog’s-tongue hot sun and coarse toe-fire sand
Where did you go my faraway land
Where did you go my bright future boy
Where did you go my bright future boy
With painless wide smile, no shame to enjoy
Where did you go my bright future boy
Where did you go my unconscious dream
Where did you go my unconscious dream
Evaporate from me like droplets of steam
Where did you go my unconscious dream
Where did you go old lovers and friends
Where did you go old lovers and friends
Passed like a river, deep-blind in its bends
Where did you go old lovers and friends
Where did you go the song in my soul
Where did you go the song in my soul
I stand forgotten the long highway’s toll
Where did you go the song in my soul

Harzman Road

I grew up in the valley, oh, the valley so low
Down an old dead-end street, there, on the left side of the road
There was my blue mailbox, oh, and the driveway made of stones
I need you to believe me, oh, for it is no longer so
Yes it is no longer so
Oh sister, with hair of gold
We tore up all the carpet, oh, and we sanded down the floor
Nixed the kitchen cabinet for to see friends walk through the door
Remember when I lit the yard on fire playing with my friend
And father’s strong right bicep torn in the chainsaw accident
Oh father, with strings of bronze
The door to the front office, there, by the yellow peaceful rose
The moon-shape of our garden, there, by the line where we never hung our clothes
The front yard was my forest, oh, where I climbed mulberry trees
I need you to remember, oh, for they’re only memories
Yes, they’re only memories
Oh mother, with eyes of emerald

Hey little one
The older that you get the less you want
You learn to let it go
Fight all you want
You outrageous debutant
You’re never in the know
We were born to burn up.
Sweet little thing
You could smell the fire from the street
You’re breathing in the smoke
Lie on the ground
Let all of the emptiness surround all you ever know’d
We were born to burn up.
Sweet little ghost
The innocence is what we miss the most
Everybody grows
There’ll be war in the morning, you’re gonna start it.
All of your secrets spilled on the carpet
Oh, you’re never gonna win
We were born to burn up.

I had a dream last night
I pulled back the covers to see you
But the face wasn’t right
And, oh, am I finally there-
Where I don’t remember what you look like?
I know you’ve got your life and
I know that you’re probably happy
And that once in awhile
Your mind wanders far away toward me
And do you smile? Remember home?
Well I hope so.
Hey, why did we walk away?
Why did we walk away from this?
Why? Why oh why’d you and I?
Why did we say goodbye?
We had a good thing right?
And nothing is ever forever
We only get one life
And everything fades in the fray
Oh, where did you go my nose to nose?
Where did you go?

Moments of Peace
07:16
|
|||
|
When the sunlight heals your memory
And the full moon calls you by name
And a whole new wave of dreams shows you your way
Be happy that you’re still dreaming
Even though you’re swimming upstream
Be happy for what your eyes have seen
Be thankful you’ve made it this far
Be thankful for so few scars
Be thankful you’ve remained who you are
There’s nothing wrong with counting blessings
There’s nothing wrong with you at all
You’re just too much in touch with these times
And not your own mind
Be thankful for moments of peace
Be thankful your love has not ceased
Be thankful you are still upon your feet
Be thankful you’ve made it this far
Be thankful for so few scars
Be thankful you’ve remained who you are
Track 9 (hidden track): REACH
It’s been awhile
It’s been awhile since you laid eyes on me
How’s the ennui?
Money?
Is that the mirror you’re looking in?
You gotta take it in
You gotta take it in
Would that I could take a right motion
I could reach you then
So you’re standing on a bridge
Look at all of it
But you don’t know
Is it time?
Is it time to hit the road again?
Pay a toll and then
Put your foot down
Let the ribbon from your hair, fucking fly
Hands to the sky
Would that I could make a right motion
I could reach you then
I could reach you then.
