Songbird

When you walk along boy / You will walk alone
There will be no comfort in the hand / Of the man who comes
Stay too long upon the Road / With he who can get it done
There will be a devil in the eyes / Of that rising Sun
Songbird / Sing a song for me
Songbird / Sing of my jealousy
Working for the plan, but / Not enough to get it done
I still have the dream in me eye / Of the rising Sun
Dusty is the land where I'm from / Hard to keep the body clean
Still I wander form the lost and the found / And everywhere in between
Songbird / Sing a song for me
Songbird / Sing of my soul and sleave
Fear not my woeful child / There is still flesh in my plastic smile
Run as far and fast as I can / Think it is magic but its just slight of hand
You can be alone / And have everyone around
You can believe the stars in the sky / Will come crashing down
If you don't know the time and the place / You can never get it done
Everyone has a dream in their eyes / Watch those rabbits run
Song bird / Sing a song for me
Songbird / Sing of my redemption please
We all come from / The same old Sun

Born In Sorrow
04:12
|

|
I was born in sorrow //
My mama had me before she could come of age
But my mama loved me //
So she said as she walked away
My daddy was a rockstar //
Spent all his time in the local quarry grave
Never done right, no
I've only done wrong
So won't you tell me a story
A happy, happy song
My lover missed me //
Walked on by and gave no comfort for shame
But I've got my whisky
And I've got my lightnin'
It helps to keep me warm as i freeze within
Never done right, no
I've only done wrong
So won't you tell me a story
A happy, happy song

Where Did It Go
05:32
|
|||
|
No matter what you do / Your vibration keeps on coming through
And its making my head spin again
Your looking with your eyes / And my body it just won't survive
Without you seeing me again my friend
I hear my name / And the waveform takes my veins
Keeps me in tune with you
I feel the heat / Of your Summer breath whispering
Wind upon my cheek
Where did it go / Summer breeze left me cold
What did I find / A wounded man can take some time
Where did it go / Don't you think I'd like to know
What did I find / A mended heart can bleed some time
The sight of your back / And the echo of your laughter
Haunts the air I breath
The views still there / Even though there's so much atmosphere
Bewteeen you and me
And I don't mind / Even though it seems I'm doing time
The grass ain't always greener over there
But I've got me / And all that I ever want to be
Don't disturb me if you can
Where did it go / Summer breeze left me cold
What did I find / A wounded man can take some time
Where did it go / Don't you think I'd like to know
What did I find / A mended heart can bleed some time

Way Down
04:23
|
|||
|
My baby left me alone
Said that we were all wrong
But when he opens the old shoebox
You know that I'll be gone
Way Down, Way Down
Way down where my heart wants to be
Way down in New Orleans
You're everything that you are
Is filled with pure delight
But your everything has me
Oh, well out of sight
Way Down, Way Down
Way down where my heart wants to be
Way down in New Orleans
It's been a hard, long night
But the morning, Blue Skies
And when that cloud comes rushing on down
You know I'll be on that ride
Way Down, Way Down
Way down where my heart used to be
Way down in New Orleans

Earth Is My Rocketship
05:31
|
|||
|
The sky is falling, don't you know
When it rains, it pours
Tell me more of who you love
And how and when it grows
Way... down
Where the river and the rain used be
I... found
A love that was so good to me
I... I found sun-shine
Earth is my rocketship
And it burns on green
Green is my rocketship
As it burns a my fingertips
Green green green green
Hear me calling, calling out,
Calling out your name
Tell me more of who you love
And how and when it's fain
Way... down
Where the river and the rain used be
I... found
A love that was so good to me
I... I found sun-shine
Earth is my rocketship
And it burns on green
Green is my rocketship
As it burns a my fingertips
Burns burns burns burns

The Warrior
03:45

as i rise above the ocean
and as i rise above the land
and as i rise above the desert
it's dry enough to make a stand
so bind my foolish heart
to the earth
so i may sleep
and sorrow is always on my mind
it shadows me
and blinds my light
and in the evening
it comes and keeps me alive
wait for the lucky and the brave
you will know them by
their unmarked graves
and the silence overcomes
the need to cry
bind my foolish heart
to the earth
so i may sleep
give me your ancient songs
and what's wrong
so you may see
take my foolish heart
and bat an eye
so i may die

The Entering Sun
06:09
|
|||
|
when i came from sorrow
i knew it right away
i give myself the fast times
just to keep it all away
believe me i'm not certain
where i may going from
but i know things will open
i know when the door will come
speak to me
like a desperate man
speak to me
so i may understand
i may be off the frisson
at least it's not for me
and i say in my abyss a long time
you know I could fold a dawn
i need a break forever
so i may not be flawed
and so the sun comes
out to greet me
the sun comes out to stay
and the sun can buy the river
the simple life's for me
lean on me forever
and i will be your guide
i may not know the reasons
but i know we know the reasons why
but don't count on me forever
i can't believe we're right
and sorrow may come on soon
you know you know the reason why
why
sun come out tomorrow
sun come out today
sun come on out to play

Heaven
04:47

wednesdays come
thurday's gone
for the time we know's at hand
waking calls from the culture's claw
let my fascist tongue be done
and as i let my course be run
and as i let my janey run
i know you are
heaven
i know you are
heaven
lift me up from the falling ground
and two by two we are inside
sleep for now in the underground
shut my mouth before it's done
and as i let my course be run
and as i let my janey run
i know you are
heaven
i know you are
heaven
as i let
as i let my course be run
my course be run
as i let
as i let my course be run
my course be run
as i let my course be run
and as i let my course be run
I know you are
heaven
I know you are
heaven

Gypsy Moon
03:23
|

|
gypsy moon shine
down on us
as we make our way through the storm
we don't want to head back
we're not tired yet
that don't mean weary don't know our name
satellites sparkling over head
feed sunshine joy and war upon our heads
it all depends on the chemical you blow
watch anything long enough
and it becomes your soul
the money you begged
was all you ever had
and the war you bought
it sidles up instead
your moral purity
through force is
dead
and the people you saved
was all in your head
gypsy moon
shine on me
shine on me, now
gypsy moon
lessons we learn inside
the darkest hours
make the daybreak warm
even if for just awhile
and the sorrow you bring
tries to rain on our parade
but if you take a look
it hovers over you instead
the money you begged
was all you ever had
and the war you thought
it sidles up instead
your moral purity
through force is
dead
and the people you saved
was all in your head
gypsy moon
yeah
the money you begged
was all you ever had
and the war you thought
it sidles up instead
your moral purity
through force is
dead
and the people you saved
was all in your head

Helping Hand
04:05
|
|||
|
Sun beats upon my face
Gifting me a warm embrace
Makes me want to till the land
Reach out and give a helping hand
Cause a helping hand doesn't understand
What is war
And a helping hand doesn't understand
You're not the same as I am
Woman smiled at me today, she said
Go forth son and make your own way
Mechanism clicks again
A mirror made from the eyes of my friends
Cause the eyes of a friend helps you understand
What is love
And the eyes of a friend help you understand
You are the same as I am
Through the vibrant gaze of green
The universe is calling 'yes' to me
Through the voice and sight unseen
Emotionally I've already been
Cause where I've been helps me recognize
What is life
And where I've been helps me recognize
The friend within those Eyes

I Tell You
01:35

i was mindin' my own business
i was walkin' that there line
and the weeds in my garden
had me workin' overtime
i tell you
i tell you
some day you'll know
some day you'll see
but someday someday
won't make love to me
when will you know
when will you believe
open your heart
or just let me be
i tell you
i tell you
open your heart
or just let me be
i saw hordes of people
standin' everywhere
starin' in the sky
because there's somethin' in the air
i tell you
i tell you
someday you'll know
someday you'll see
someday, someday
won't make love to me
when will you know
when will you believe
open your heart
or just let me be
i tell you
i tell you
open your heart
or just let me be

The World
03:24
|
|||
|
Will you see my heart
That lies beneath the tears you bleed
And guide my slippery walk
As I'm about to fall
Instead won't you hold my hand, just today
Run through our fields with no aspartame
The World should know
The Love it grows
The World should see
The Love we breath
When will I
Except that my love only cries
Water from the spring
That flows from Hope, and back again
But the eyes that can see, the world that is me
Reflects my soul in he mirror I see
The World should know
The Love it grows
The World should be
The Love it seems
And if your world should fall, I'd take it all
And if you'd just hold my hand, I promise I'll stand
The World should know
The Love it grows
The World should be
The Love it seems
