Walk

my progress this highway
I'm bringing you along
all the peaks and valleys
we will walk
and never know
how much we left behind
stars midnight run towards them
what's found is never seen
all the peaks and valleys
we will walk
and never know
how much we left behind
all in time don't break line
from what's comin round the bend
all the peaks and valleys
we will walk
and never know
how much we left behind
live patient slow water
no questions no answers
now we're breakin through the bark
all the peaks and valleys
we will walk
and never know
how much we left behind

Song for the Frogs
04:11
|
|||
|
I've been awake for too long
now I'm frozen shut
search as I might for moments
to pardon my fight
(ch)
oh write me a song
to take through my dark
I'll sing it along
to the depths of this change
I have tried to blossom
but born we are in the sun
winter clouds may hide it all
so I'm on my back
(ch)
we seem to find a smile
and the river starts to run
asking how, or why, or when
is no way to live
(ch)

2 Heads
03:04
|
|||
|
I've been
changin
thinkin
somethin
you said
hearts lie
can't find
you're dreamin
It's like
there's two heads
in one head
and one says
you're right
you're wrong
can't hear
the song

Away
02:39
|
|||
|
I'd really like to see you
but I'm traveling far
blind my eyes to the sun
when I'm away
when I'm away
This same old moon
circling I said
how do you seem so free?
when I'm away
when I'm away
all the ways I
seek and hide
will I ever find
peace in my mind
I've been bound to the sea
that keeps me away
that keeps me away
for some time
I've been bound to the sea
that keeps me away
that keeps me away

Tracking
02:43
|
|||
|
time caught in ears
I cling to the years
but from way outside
I think I can hear
how the wind and the rain
start to sing
we're never told
hearts can hear that song
I just now found
the tracks of a hound
that take me all around
but make me notice the ground
cuz the wind and the rain
start to sing
we're never told
hearts can hear that song
days locked in ice
we hum through the nights
the tunes that we hear
from frogs, cats, and deer
cuz the wind and the rain
start to sing
we're never told
hearts can hear that song
I see the stars
behind that great bird
that flies way up high and
makes grown men cry
cuz the wind and the rain
start to sing
we're never told
hearts can hear that song

In the Yard
03:17
|
|||
|
stuck out in the yard
screaming at the birds
I've been the same
for more or less of these years
inside these walls
there's no place at all
but something you said
could make waves of my dread
don't you find it hard
keeping my heart
softly beating by?
deep in my ear
there's a constant flowing creek
but I am the rocks
and I am the dam
see how I fly
the bird with no eyes
just burn all my ropes
and throw them to the wind
don't you find it hard
keeping my heart
softly beating by?
oh a ohhh a ohhh
don't you find it hard
keeping my heart
softly beating by?

Sleeping
03:15
|
|||
|
what is at hand
thinking of sand
so I run
and I hide
and I look to the side
listening to quiet grow
listening to quiet grow
what fades is fine
caught in a line
as my mind turns to day
I am part
I am time
listening to quiet grow
listening to quiet grow
what is to blame
what is the same
as day turns to night
I have salt covered eyes
listening to quiet grow
listening to quiet grow

Nelson County
02:30
|

|
oh how we flock
oh how we grow
oh how we walk these plains alone
sweet songs of memory
sweet songs of night
I believe in changing tides
I've been the rain
I've been the snow
I've been the lines inside the road
sweet songs of memory
sweet songs of night
I believe in changing tides
So take these stones
and let them go
into the stream that always flows
sweet songs of memory
sweet songs of night
I believe in changing tides

In Spring
02:04
|
|||
|
wake today
something changed
rabbits running high
all around
spring somehow
softly speaks her mind
in a moments time
like the bear
we've been there
hiding in a cave
see the signs
see the tides
rising up again
in a moment's time
the sun and moon and beech and you
show me how to change
in a moment's time
don't be lost
in the frost
what sprouts will come again
winter with
her blinking eye
says I'll see you again
in a moment's time
