Come Back to Come Home
02:12
|
|||
See yourself, feel yourself you are gone
Tilt your head towards the light you’re still gone
Honey you try, honey you try
The stars in the sky are so bright on this night
That I cry
What if you forgot all the noise
What if you forgot all the chaos
And found yourself
deep in the woods
Is it the color of good?
Is it the smell of what should be?
Is it finding our way back?
Honey, I say
Don’t forget its not all bad
Don’t don’t forget its not all bad
Don’t dont forget to come back
Don’t don’t forget to come back
Come back home
You come back to come home
We come back to come home
Did I find it overhead, it was a quick whisper of the wind
I can’t tell you just what, but I found it buried deep within

Thin Black Line
02:28
|
|||
A chorus of cicadas
As the day gives way to night
The stars arrive above us
The moon is on the rise
The clouds move so slowly
They seem frozen in their flight
Pink glow gives way to shadow
As they settle into night
The mountains all decline
In shadowed glory, shadowed size
Now they’re just a thin black line
Between me and the sky
If you could hear them howling
If you could be so still
If you could hear this nature’s hum
I hope someday you will.

Wide Open Wild
02:13
|
|||
We are riding down one dark and windy road
The Night is still, but the stars are high and bold
Our light shines down the road, the lines lead the way
Sun has set behind the mountains and said goodbye to day
We see the birds and bats in silhouettes
The owl spreading its wings as it flies up from its nest
The coyotes are howling, the notes are all astray
Somewhere in the shadows a Jaguar stalks its pray
There’s darkness here that makes it feel like home
The twinkle in the sky reminds you, you are not alone
There’s a wide open wild for each of us to roam
There’s a darkness here that makes it feel like home
Chasing lights that burn a million miles away
I can’t sleep a wink, I’ll be awake until it’s day
My eyes fall on Orion with his belt and mighty spear
We’ve long looked to the skies to help us quell our fears
There’s a part of my heart that longs to stay
Walking this wide valley below the Milky Way
I hope this place stay wild so that I may soon return
To see its natural beauty of which my heart is sure to yearn
There’s darkness here that makes it feel like home
The twinkle in the sky reminds you, you are not alone
There’s a wide open wild for each of us to roam
There’s a darkness here that makes it feel like home
There’s a darkness here that makes it feel like home

I Could Almost Cry
01:59
|
|||
You’re still asleep
Our friend’s cat cradled at your feet
You speak two words, so soft so sweet
I’m afraid to blink
I used to fear
The great unknown and feeling all alone
A hate filled mind after it’s grown
Seeds yet sewn
You take the wheel
I point south you start to drive
We make the most of this once chance life
I could almost cry
Can you feel your feet
As they hit the beach
And the sun shining down
And the light is all around
Can you feel your heart
Put the gear in park
This is our life
I could almost cry

Treaties
03:29
|
|||
They’d heard this town was a dangerous one
And they asked why that was
How do I explain that kind of trauma upon trauma
And all of the bad it brings up?
Cause there was the booze and it never stopped and there were the drugs
Oh the dark black tar
But there is the hurt that you cannot erase
It’s passed down day by day
Cause oh a people don’t forget
When you don’t ever respect
Thei land, their love, thei ways of believing how this world was made
And where they fit in
Then they asked, what’s the solution
And I couldn’t help but cry
God if you know won’t you write it down in a book,
Cause I and no one else can turn back time
I was a kid painted with privilege
Inside and outside all at the same time
Thought I could save but who was I to be savin?
Instead I wrapped my guilt up in my mind.
Cause you can have love and you see pain
And you an acknowledge that you get to run away.
When everything that you love and everyone you knew
Is trapped up in a cycle and you don’t know what to do.
Is trapped up in a cycle and you don’t know what to do.
What have we learned?
How can we change?
Nothing can progress until we admit
Our great mistakes
Our great mistakes
It’s not just a piece of paper that you write
You can’t erase erasing someone’s life x2

I'm Letting Go
02:25
|
|||
I’m letting go
I’m letting go of
Counting time by spaces and lines
Leaving behind self prescribed alibis
Projections of how to spend my life
We walk the concrete by calendar days
Counting out minutes in meticulous ways
Writing down schedules in digital lines
Store it in plastic and metal and wires
We feed our fears by appeasing our taste
Hiding behind our consumption and waste
Things we don’t need too easily acquired
There’s a subscription for every desire
I’m letting go
I’m letting go of
Holding life in the things that I buy
Measuring status by a material line
Projections that value of my life

Green on Blue
01:41
|

Green on blue
Your hard truths
Ground fresh into a garden
Your favorite hue
Your kicked off shoes
Two breaths short of a panic
Right on cue
Your secrets due
The wave breaks right at the shoreline
Green on blue
Me and you
Just us two
Green on blue

Leaf Peepers
01:11
|
|||
Traffic’s Heavy on the 89
It’s Early October and they’re right on time
They come in droves and they wait in lines
It’s the leaf peepers
We Make our way out of Windsor County
Wind on over through Waterville valley
They’re here too fillin’ streets and the alleys
It’s the leaf peepers
We Head to Portland on the 95
We Try to out hike em on the beehive
They’re at the Lobster Pound eatin’ Whoopie pies
It’s the leaf Peepers
Look here babe, that color on the right
Pull over quick seems to b a good sight
What does the mean? Oh me oh my!
We’re the leaf Peepers
What does the mean? Oh me oh my!
We’re the leaf Peepers

Super Moon
02:08
|

I found you under the light of the moon
You found the truth there in me too
Super Moon, It was a super moon
We walked down to the beach to see the light on the sand
It lit up the sea as you took my hand
Super Moon, It was a super moon
You started a fire and I opened the wine
I slayed you at cards but you said it was fine
Super Moon, It was a super moon

I woke up with the light it was right in my eyes
You slept as I crept out of the back truck
Climbed on my bike and rode towards the sun in the sky
The birds sang like it might be their last song I couldn’t help but ride and sing along
It was a hopeful tune. A bit of joy for me and you.
Doo doo doo do do
I watched the wings flap feathers skin and bone
My bike, their beaks none of us alone
They sing just like July
Flying into November skies
Bare rock, loose dirt this desert road
These Stars leave dust when they explode
You made the coffee black
Sing to me when I get back
Doo do doo doo do do do
We ride at sunrise forever
Repeat
Bare rock, loose dirt this desert road
These Stars leave dust when they explode
You made the coffee black
Sing to me when I get back
Doo doo do do

More Than Blood and Bone
02:19
|
|||
Go out walking with your heart in your hand
Soak up the feeling of your feet on the land
Know you’re just a piece of the puzzle and the plan
Find your favorite story and live it if you can
You are not alone
More than blood and bone
You’ve got a hunger for the great unknown
the places you’ve been and the places you’ll go
It’s sewn like roots way down in your soul
It’s Deep like water and it’s hard like stone
Can you hear the call?
You are not alone
More than blood and bone
Go out walking with your heart in your hand
Soak up the feeling of your feet on the land
Know you’re just a piece of the puzzle and the plan
Find your favorite story and live it if you can

Alpenglow
00:50
|
|||
Moonrise over alpenglow
The sun sets in the west
Pink hues on the mountain snow
The moon shines overhead
The light tries her best
To extend the bridge of twilight
The crisp crunch of fresh fallen snow
A blanket on the earth
Footprints of all shapes that show
What else was here first
The light tries her best
To reflect this subtle shift
Of day to night
