Mountains

The bird's song is lost on me
the bird's song is lost one me
Tower's fall, mountains rise
I heard the cold coyote call
I heard the cold coyote call
through the wind of the Wyoming fall
through the wind of the Wyoming fall
Towers fall, mountains rise
Where's the harmony in these skies?
Where's the harmony in these times?
Where's the harmony in my mind?
Where's the harmony in these times?
I can see through the shallow creek
Where ya coming' from?
Oh, where do you lead?
Tell me I am not alone
Oh, shallow creek.
Come down from your tower now, come down
Will the sea ever cross the sand?
Come down from your tower now, come down
Lookin' down at all the hungry people
stacks of food around you...

Waiting For The Sun
04:12
|

|
Pack up, move out with nothin'
start buildin' the soil
Cut down, waiting for the sun now
cross eyed and tongue tied
waiting for the sun now
Will it ever come out?
Half drunk, how high is too high?
Closing my mind's eye
to keep up with the times.
Cut down, waiting for the sun now
cross eyed and tongue tied
waiting for the sun now...
I always seem to wander off the trail
caught in the thicket and in the mud,
but I know I'm not alone, I'm not alone
Space is a somewhat relative concept
Are we separate if we're goin' through the same shit?
No, you're not alone
No, we're not alone
The mountain always looks much different
goin' down than when you climbed up it
We're not the same, but we are chain...

Current Now
03:55
|
|||
|
Gunna run to the woods
I forgot that I could
get away from all the madness
I can hear the trees are breathin'
but the water's to cold for my feet
Heard the news and the violence
in a crowd full of pushin'
very few makin' efforts
to look beyond their own noses
so I'll find no trace of human life
Oh, the snow is in the river now
So be careful of the current now
So you wanna go floatin'
down another lazy river
but did you think of all the rapids
that you're gunna leave your children?
Did you teach them how to ride?
Oh, the snow is in the river now
So be careful of the current now
Break it down now,
to the level of neanderthals
another round of pass the bottle
let the fire feed the soul
Oh, the snow is in the river now
So be careful of the current now

Spring
03:31

I see in your eyes the coming of the spring
don't have to disguise anything from you, Darlin'
even when I do, you see me through
When I got you, it's all I need
Don't need a thing, when you're here with me
I wanna bring light when the sunshine hides from you
and I can't believe why you'd wanna stay here with me, Dalin'
When I got you, it's all I need
Don't need a thing, when you're here with me
Darlin', you got me, when I got you it's all I need

I spent five years inside the fog
gettin' by and givin' in
It's time I make a difference
I saw the dull reflection of
what I thought and what I was
The shadow of the light
Maybe my imagination's wrong
maybe I'm just thinkin' outta luck,
but my friends I'll think until the end
And I'm seein' now, the wind has blown me away
And I'm hangin' out, but I can't get you to stay
When you only read part of the page
and hang it in your window frame
it's no telling why you can't keep up
Your tongue feels bigger than your mouth
so take a knife and cut it out
there's no telling what you'll never say
You only criticize and never dare,
your eyes they look so unaware
there's a sliver in my stare
When I grow up, I'll take it up
When I stand up, I hope you feel my love
And I'm seein' now, the wind has blown me away
And I'm hangin' out, but I can't get you to stay...

Landlocked
03:13
|
|||
|
I've got time, even though I've got nothin'
but an elegant sentiment on the grapevine
Don't wanna sing the blues
because I'm seein' red now
and I've gone into my head enough to know I've timed out
I wanna self destruct
and never step up
Have I set myself up?
Set up for failure
No matter how clever a word I write
it feels useless
I wanna self destruct
and never step up
I wanna self destruct
and never speak up
It's not all
It's not all
I thought it was
I thought it was
It's so much more
It's so much more

Overboard
04:20
|
|||
|
Tired of starin' at the empty bunk above
while you exchange your words of love
I know it is rough to know your love fell overboard
she's lost on the ocean floor
But your friends they're not gone
they're fixing the sails
The storm it blows on
this ship has no anchor
As we swap the decks
memories of solid ground
filling our heads - the changing of the seasons
The falling of leaves
No, your friends they're not gone
they're fixing the sails
The storm it blows on
this ship has no anchor
Well, I hope you are free
you're her and your me
a rusting old reel of photographic memories...

Doubt
04:16
|

|
I got a feelin' this feelin' is no good
Back to the ceilin' no proof where I stood
disappeared into the sky, be back around nine
cause I got a feelin' this feelin' is no good
On and on, on and, on and on, on and
I got a feelin' this light is too bright
Never saw heaven, too close were my eyes
ugly is what ugly sees, and I believe
there's beauty in everything
On and on, on and, on and on, on and
Hallelujah to all religions
Hallelujah no matter where you're from
Hallelujah no matter what you've done
Hallelujah to everyone...

Slowin' Down Time
04:16
|

I'm slowin' down time
inside of my mind
Ain't waitin' in line
that goes in a circle
Yeah, I'm slowin' down time
You can send the wind my way
you can send the wind my way
cause the wind will never kill
never kill my will
I'm slowin' down time
speed's been makin' me go blind
Ain't waitin' in line
that goes in a circle
Cause, I'm slowin' down time
You can send the wind my way
you can send the wind my way
But the wind will never kill
never kill my will
In the snow and the cold
I will let go of the comfort of certainty
No, the wind will never kill
Never kill my will
I'm slowin' down time
inside of my mind...

White Dove
07:28
|
|||
|
There's a fire every night
flickerin' with such surprise
we watch the flames all burnin' bright
wait for someone to arrive
In a shadow overcome
my throat closed up
and I guess you could say I saw a demon
But now that I'm older and my perception's changed
it may have been an angel
but I was so afraid
of what I did not know
When the white dove flew up
the people who remained all raised their hands
When I give up, I hear a train
its whistle blows my fears away
When I have doubts I shout them out
they fill the clouds and rain down on me
When I look up across the flame
I see that I'm the one to blame
We've been standin' 'round the fire for so long
I think it's time we start dancing all live long...
