A River
03:22

Come in first now to the harvest
Still your eye in from the iris
A River once dry, overflowing tonight
Days of doubting, just a ripple, like a feather on an eagle
A river once dry, overflowing tonight
When I wake up in the morning sun
There's a feeling like a knot undone
I bring my cup with a new found love
Cause I'm ready for a change
Celebrations from the struggle
Stipulations have no level
A river once dry overflowing tonight
When I wake up in the morning sun
There's a feeling like a knot undone
I bring my cup with a new found love
Cause I'm ready for a change
Oh I found it, what a feeling
Rest my eyes up on the ceiling
A river once dry, overflowing tonight

Oh My Son
03:40

Oh my son this one is for you
I see you smiling in the prime of your youth
Don't let the world take this from you
Hold to yourself don't be swayed from the truth
Believe me the challenges will come
They'll prey on your weakness, until you stand strong
Your word are your bond, the truth is your strength
The lies will lead you only to pain
Ooh
Oh my son your born to this life
Decide what you want and do what you like
Learn from mistakes and do what is right
You'll know when your mind cuts doubt like a knife
Be kind to all who you speak
Some will insult you, but it's they who are weak
Your thoughts and your actions leave echoes in time
please care for them as they build and will bind
Ooh
In this time, in this time, I send these words to you.
In this time, in this time, when your struggling through
When your feeling blue, when you've lost your truth
Oh my son this one is for you
I see you smiling in the prime of your youth
Don't let the world take this from you
Hold to yourself don't be swayed from the truth
Ooh

Separate Tracks

I saw what you wrote, you said "Forgive me love"
Well I wrestled it with time, you crossed too many lines
and I forgive you, but there's just no way back
I forgive you , but we're now on separate tracks, we're now on separate tracks
It's not a light decision, it's heavy in the heart
You play the cards your given
My cards are saying walk
and I forgive you, but there's just no way back
I forgive you , but we're now on separate tracks, we're now on separate tracks
And I will be fine, I will be fine, don't worry about me
I will be fine, I will be fine , don't worry about me
The good memories will stay
I saw what you wrote, you said "Forgive me love"

And I will be fine, I will be fine, don't worry about me

Farther From The Truth
03:03
|
|||
|
So hard on myself, so hard on myself
Missed the obvious step and I messed up well
Now my thoughts they loop, into a thousand roots
and i can't help but feel like I'm falling farther
Falling farther, Falling farther from the Truth
If could be better, If I could just change
Someone clean and organize the inside of my game
But there's more than a few and every seed it grows new
and i can't help but feel like I'm falling farther
Falling farther, Falling farther from the Truth
and If I follow it in, oh it leads me back in
and If I follow it out, I'm not gonna let you down
I'm overthinking, I'm overthinking
Things could be simple but I want to make it tough
Make a mountain of a molehill in the rough
What kind of pleasure is gained from these twisted up view
I can't help but feel like I'm falling farther
Falling farther, Falling farther from the truth
How far will I go, away from my soul
how far will I climb from the truth to a lie
So hard on myself, so hard on myself
Missed the obvious step and I messed up well
Now my thoughts they loop, into a thousand roots
and i can't help but feel like I'm falling farther
Falling farther, Falling farther from the Truth
and If I follow it in, oh it leads me back in
and If I follow it out, I'm not gonna let you down
I'm overthinking, I'm overthinking

Jigsaw Melody
04:13
|
|||
|
It was all inside a dream, at least that's what I thought it
Holy water in the dirt, Lightening in the dark
And yes you were calm, when we told you of distant bombs
phobias of phobias relatively close to us
and everyone is just a mess, shaken up by the government press
and you relaxed and watched the dirt fall down to the bottom of the glass
and thats when the chorus sang a Greek refrain 100 years ahead
A match from all these pieces, a jig saw melody of Presidents
All chronologically placed, back to the river, not a waste
Oh you just sit there and paint, paint a glass of wine
It was all inside a dream, at least that's what I thought it.
Business bigger than life, a fork and knife.
And yes you were calm even when it was wrong
The edge of deranged or the edge of change
and everyone is just a mess, shaken up by the government press
and you relaxed and watched the dirt fall down to the bottom of the glass
and thats when the chorus sang a Greek refrain 100 years ahead
A match from all these pieces, a jig saw melody of Presidents
All chronologically placed, back to the river, not a waste
Oh you just sit there and paint, paint a glass of wine

My Angel
03:56
|

|
You pulled me through, when I lost heart
You showed up bright, when I was dark
Placed my feet where I feared
Showed me through those years
Oh my angel how did you know and where did you come from?
Oh my angel how did you know and where did you come from?
You saw right through, every doubt
Turned them all inside out
Pointed out in the right direction
Showed me what was true affection
Oh my angel how did you know and where did you come from?
Oh my angel how did you know and where did you come from?

Patient Ways
03:23
|
|||
|
A short in the bulb, a shout from the depths of the soul
Won't let me away, an old dream that comes back to stay
Like an owl to his prey
I will wait, wait for the right, wait for the right
Time to come, my will be done and these patient ways are won
The circle spins around again and I will overcome
A leak in the pipe, a crack in the shell of a life, who could have known?
A surprise with no hints to be shown, till I find them alone
I will wait, wait for the right, wait for the right
Time to come, my will be done and these patient ways are won
The circle spins around again and I will overcome
And it's not what I become, It's not what I become
But what I rise above, what I rise above
That sets me free
9 months and day, 90 years and I'll slip away
The rock and the water, resist till the 9000th hour
With my strength and my power,
I will wait, wait for the right, wait for the right
Time to come, my will be done and these patient ways are won
The circle spins around again and I will overcome

Sunday Night on the patio
Warm soup and the conversation goes
When you gonna make your movie?
How you gonna pay your bills?
How is your wife and children?
Man we're getting older now
Sunday Night on the patio
Dinner served and the conversation flows
Our we just foolish dreamers?
The day job's wearing me out
When you gonna finish your music?
Man we're getting older now
Sunday Night on the patio
It's getting late it's time to go
When you coming out the city?
Come out and stay if you want
Have a good 41st birthday
Man we're getting older now

Deserve Better
03:42
|
|||
|
I was awake when you tip toed out
Sneaking out the door, when your phone went off
Makes me wonder what I'm doing her
Putting up with things, that seem so clear
I deserve better
You tried to blame it all on me
I can only take so much you see
The truth is 1 and 1 make 2
When you argue with that there's not much to prove
I deserve better
and it's easy to get lost, when patterns repeat without pause, and its easy to let things slide, but the little things add up over time
I remember when we started out,
I saw the red flags wave about
Maybe it was all just fear
Putting up with things, it seems so clear
I deserve better
and it's easy to get lost, when patterns repeat without pause, and its easy to let things slide, but the little things add up over time

You got me in your water
You got me in your glass
I'm swimming in circles, All I see is the past
What do you want from me?
What do you want from me?
How long do we go, your love is attachment, my love is let go
Oh I see you smiling at me, like I fulfill your needs
but my heart is sinking like a stone in the sea.
What do you want from me?
What do you want from me?
How long do we go, your love is attachment, my love is let go

Dragonfly
03:46

Dragonfly caught my eye on the riverbank this morning
Made me thing of all the times I run away from the things
The rivers running high from last nights rain
I found this melody to cover up the pain
Woh..mercy on my mind, mercy on my mind
An old love that isn't anymore
An old life that was comfortable has shown me to the door
Shadows fall in the darkeness outside these tent walls
Just a thin veil between me and the madness of it all
Woh ..mercy on mind, mercy on my mind
Dragonfly in the molted body, under the water till you fly, under the water till you fly, underthewater till you fly
What is truth when it leads you away? A leading edge on a ledge, when all I got is faith,
What is belief? Seems like everything today. Seems like everything today.
Woh ..mercy on mind, mercy on my mind

You and I
04:36
|
|||
|
In the midst of the rain
The pattern returns
And I feel It is the end and a beginning
Workers hammering
Buildings climbing higher
Foundations unreasonably powerful
You and I no reason to hide
One day we'll die and it will be fine
You and I no reason to lie
One day we'll die and it will be fine
Rest in the circle of the soul she said
Magnificent like the water in flow
Take on the hardest course she said
The resistance becomes your support
You and I no reason to hide
One day we'll die and it will be fine
You and I no reason to lie
One day we'll die and it will be fine

Time To Go
04:01
|
|||
|
All in this moment the world came crashing down
Cracked up the moon and shot it to the ground
Her dress caught the wind and the ships heard her sound
What once was solid now was gone
You come once, you come once to make it real
The waves pull you in and push you up to feel
Set your sights and your sail and then persevere
You can't no love until you no fear
Watch with your father the close up of the moon
The darkness will return to light soon
With love in his eyes he teaches something new
Like birds in the garden, they know just what to do
Split at the waist, heaven and earth, take off your coat, It's time to go.

A Beautiful Life
02:59
|
|||
|
When I look back on my memories
And all the things that came
Into my life, the decisions that I made
It's dance between the fight
I'm still trying to get it right
It's a high balancing, circus wire
an apple to the knife
with a feeling of deep togetherness
A beautiful life
that shimmers, that shimmers,
Whether it's known or its not
It's all that you got
It's the darkness with sunlight on the water, waiting for you to see, waiting for you to see
Though I can't see around the bend
Or go through it all again
All the changes that hit me hard
were a blessing in the end
It's a dance between the fight
I'm still trying to get it right
It's a high balancing, circus wire
an apple to the knife
with a feeling of deep togetherness
A beautiful life
that shimmers, that shimmers,
Whether it's known or its not
It's all that you got
It's the darkness with sunlight on the water, waiting for you to see, waiting for you to see
