Bluebird and Cicada
03:33
|
|||
|
The Bluebird walks in sunlight
She’s waiting for her lover tonight
Why don’t we break the strain
Why don’t we try to please
Where have you gone old friend
I ain’t seen you here for awhile
But had you been my son, son
A worried run cicada song
Count seventeen and look whats gone
A pitch to you to write things down
And fall a ways from tree to ground
Well he fed her so she could shine

Our Winding Road
01:28

There’s our Winding Road
With a tree down, end of the line
It’s where they write their songs
It’s here where I feel calm
It’s here where I belong
And in my oldest dream
The pictures were just words
Of words that called me out
The world’s upon the ground
And statues falling down
All that I could hear
Story told by notes
What is it all about
A memory no doubt

Lose All Control
01:16
|

I’m finally back
Yet still going slow
When you can’t find the track
Might lost all control

Tanglewood
04:24
|

|
Its a something kind of day
There's Tanglewood on paper walls
Little tiny pieces of your soul in the background
Its a good day for all
Now you heard about the bluebird
Lover gave his own life for her
The rest of her days are gonna be lonely
Ones
For steady writing
A change arises
The body obliges
The color of the sky is
Painted not the brightest
The body realizes
Well its played out in a pattern
The cyclical song of my life
And everybody’s looking at the ring around Saturn
Its a good night for love
And once I wrote about cicada
Lover took her final walk in the sun
In the best of his ways he looked to marry
Only one
Its alright
I love you

Whales Part I
04:30
|
|||
|
Picture yourself immersed in perfect light
How can you say what happens when we die
I can assume none of what’s next in line
Nobody can thats all the trick to life
Hey I
How many times not speaking said the Whale
Too many promises been broken
I was assured that change was yet to come
Nobody cares when all that’s left is gone
Water ways receding
Paper til depletion
Still they give us all their gifts

It's easy to fall in love
It's ain't hard to screw it up
Don’t worry about your baby
Don’t worry about her now
Its easy to write a song
Its ain’t hard to sing along
Don’t worry about me baby
Don’t worry about me now
I’d sing a line
And I try to harmonize
Look out the window til it comes
And give up nine times
Until the ink runs dry
Find paper and ashes at my foot
Im not who I was
Nor do I seem to be
Moving mountains with time
But I hope to be
Another picture perfect palindrome
Able was I ere I saw Elba
I think of what we have
Its still a lot like glass
Clearer than most but it could shatter
The fruit of our work
Past gone but sometimes hurts
No need for bygones to be here
I watch you rise up
Like a jewel ready for cloth
Polishing your energy once more
I hope you see
Dear lady what you mean to me
And know ill always be right there

Time Is Only Liquid
04:01
|
|||
|
Treat it like you said you would
But don’t be a fool to gold
Your passion is not who you are
Your love can’t be bought or sold
See it as it's meant to be
Cherish what you can
Time is only liquid now
Rise up feel the breeze again
Form a pack and call it good
Get yourself out on the road
Tantalize your sensory
Seeking only what you know
Analyze and compromise
Take a look at what could be
Position all your policies
And conquer all your fears

Pardon My Aging
01:13
|
|||
|
I feel fine I feel good
I feel better than I ever could
I see right from wrong
Depending on if it takes too long
A cold cold wind outside Madore
The tree life begins to shake
Icicles on tracks of all
Are leaving sooner than
The bluebird, cicada, and whales all behaving
Pardon my aging I’m looking for something
On my mind
Or in my head
Hey I

All My Chances
03:43
|
|||
|
I'm on fire now
But I’m too weak to be sure
Its so damn hot outside
I can’t find a cure
It's my policy
When I’m losing all control
To cut my hair off and pray
For a brand new
I'm alright my friends
I hope to see you once again
I've been wandering for too damn long
Tired of losing all my chances
I hate to leave the west
It's the place that I like best
But I must be getting on my way
Though id really love to stay
Sad to bring this news
If you could lay off of the booze
Or maybe we could just not drink and play
Follow up with what our brothers say
Skin turns icy now
Though stronger than I was before
To walk away from what was everything
Yet it brought me so much heavy pain
Have you seen my dog
I think I lost her in the fog
Her attitude is one I can’t explain
Fortune tell her that I’m lost again
