Ghost

I don’t want your ghost
When it’s all that’s left to have
Hunts me like the wolf
And I’m running like the stag
Sleeping in the hollow
Of this love that’s left me cold
Another winter comes
Another summer goes
You are nothing that the sun can’t give me
You are nothing that the rain makes living
And I don’t care
If you are lonely
Cause you don’t love me any more.
You landed in my garden
A bird too broken to fly
I should have seen the way you fell to me
Some birds don’t deserve the sky
Living in the hollow
Of a love you’ll never know
Another summers gone
Another winter goes on
You are nothing that the sun can’t give me
You are nothing that the rain makes living
And I don’t care
If you are lonely
Cause you don’t love me any more.
Bridge
In those rivers where we waded
Like my bed when you unmade it
Like a fish behind a boulder
Reeled me in and fucked me over
You are nothing that the sun can’t give me
You are nothing that the rain makes living
And I don’t care
If you are lonely
Cause you don’t love me any more.

Lost at Sea
03:33
|
|||
|
Like a weather vein from me to you
These storms of people we walk through
And in the fray I guess you caught my eye
But I can’t chase it anymore
And I’m so far from any shore
The journey home is all inside of me
And so I’m lost at sea
And right here where I need to be
To navigate these tides
And cross the ocean in my own time
Could you wait for me?
I have this chart to get me there
Starlight eyes, rye-whiskey hair
Find you, though I’ve never really seen
Revised my thoughts, repaired my dreams
Helped my shipwrecked soul to heal
Just waiting for the wind to come to me
And so I’m lost at sea
And right here where I need to be
To navigate these tides
And cross the ocean in my own time
Could you wait for me?
Bridge:
And I can’t lie, the reason why
I have to sing the words I cannot speak to you
The only way to get it out
The only way I might be getting through to you
What else could I
Do
And so I’m lost at sea
And right here where I need to be
To navigate these tides
And cross the ocean in my own time
Would you wait for me?
Like a weather vein from me to you
These storms of people we ride through
And in the fray I guess you caught my eye

Fall for Me
04:05
|
|||
|
The sky we’re under
We needed thunder
Or a plan to steal the high-noon sun
And smuggle it through the dark
Set it free under the stars as they fall
Down, but it’s ok
We dance them back in place
Mending the gaps from our broken nights
When we were too hurt see
Each other through those evenings
A long night
Has gone by
Soul rise,
You’re a perfect morning
Light me
From so high
No, you don’t fall easily
But you can fall for me
And I will catch you.
I found a way out of my picture frame
I saw you walk out of a novel page
That’s where I met you on a bookshelf stage
Where each other was all we needed
CHORUS
***With every word I’m saying
The fear and doubt is fading
Some trusting in the trading
We’re taking the same chance--- oh whoa----****

Lose a Feather
04:05
|
|||
|
One time the stars all got together
And just this once they made plan
They wanted someone born to sing for them
So they made a woman and a man
And worlds can seem so far away
Like an audience from the concert stage
And then you catch a familiar face
And everything changes
And if life is one great big concert
The stars must love you on that stage
But even birds can lose a feather
When they’re flying through bad weather
And no one else can sing it better
And we do
We are thinking about you
The moon and planets turned and listened
To something so good the stars had done
And sometimes stars will hide away
The sun gets veiled behind the gray
But you’ll look back and laugh someday
When everything changes
And if your life is one great big concert
This audience would sing along
They sing
Even a bird can lose a feather
And at least you are together
And we hope you’re feeling so much better
Yes we do
We are thinking about you
Even a bird can lose a feather
Times like these we come together
And we can make it a little better
If we do, and we do
We are thinking about you.

Flip Side
04:07
|
|||
|
Wake you in the morning
Your ride is out there and waiting
And time’s steady marching on won’t wait
You travel to the sunrise
A hug to say it’s alright
And I am left here watching you go
I’ll see you on the flip side
And find a way to keep time
A little bit closer to home
I’ve shown you tricks that I’ve learned
Help you when it’s your turn
To keep love by letting it go
We talk over the distance
With fonts or circuit signals
But I miss the warming of your heart
It’s a journey just to find you
And get to stand beside you
To navigate by more than any road
I’ll see you on the flip side
And find a way to keep time
A little bit closer to home
I’ve shown you tricks that I’ve learned
Help you when it’s your turn
To keep love by letting it go
Bridge:
These hard skies
No crow flies
Straight as an arrow these days
But I’ll get there I’ll hold the line
And walk on through this windy night
Push right through the rain
Until we meet again

In These Arms Again
03:42
|
|||
|
It’s too late I love you
Even though you have gone
I stand in a doorway
Can’t step into the sun
I should go climb a mountain
Maybe sail on the sea
It’s too late I miss you
And time is not kind
The wheels keep turning
Will they re-align
And if you’re up in the mountains
Or if you’re out on the sea
And when your heart finds you
Would you come to find me
And hold you in these arms again
Oh and after all this darkness ends
I will hold you in these arms again
And keep safe your heart
So many days and miles of doubt have worried your heart
And the weight of your world to me, it broke my heart to hear it tears you apart
So I folded the world for us one time
And too soon it unfolded back
And I know
You are strong like a mountain
And beautiful like the sea
And when your heart finds you
I hope you come to find me

Wishes and Stones
03:59

|
Well I heard you were leaving this town
You were gone in the blink of blind eyes
And you left me with some of the X's and all of the Y's
And I thought you would take me with you
Yeah I thought that you would take me along
But they say you were feeling like maybe you never belonged
And I keep thinking you'll come back to get me
But then again I really hope you're free
And I don't think you'll ever find another
Good loving friend like you had in me
And I'm still here and you're out there somewhere
Chorus:
Every night at your window
Can't you hear me throwing wishes and stones
A silhouette in the streetlight
The epitome of looking alone
And it takes me all night to remember you're not home
I can picture you driving 80
You are singing with the windows rolled down
You are looking for a new existence
In some ghost town
Well I keep trying to forget you
But I end up in the same old place
Right outside you're bedroom window
Where you smiled down on my me like grace
And Im still here and you're out there somewhere
CHORUS
bridge:
Have you found your perfect life
Do the people treat you right
Is it easier to start all over again
do the roads there lead away
From the troubles of the day
So at any given time you can escape
Guitar solo
And I'm still here...
CHORUS

Return to Me
04:30

|
Regarding my own invention
Shaping your bones with my hands
I could never have left you like a stone in the sand
What is down there but gold and jewels
What is up there but stars and sky
In the days here without you before there was only I
Return to me, my love
I spoke and you listened you moved and I sighed
You shined and you glistened in the back of my eyes
I see my reflection at the edge of the sea
and when the waves crash you look nothing like me
If all you are is a vessel holding the ink of the soul
Make your mark with a loving pen
Complete the story, whole
Some find answers in reason
Others find question in truth
Doesn't matter what they decide
I've decided it all for you
Return to me, return to me, my love
I spoke and you listened you moved and I sighed
You shined and you glistened in the back of my eyes
I see my reflection at the edge of the sea
And when the waves break you look nothing like me
Some find answers in reason
See my reflection at the edge of the sea, my love
Others find question in truth
When the waves break you look nothing like me
I spoke and you listened
You sparkled and glistened

Dusty Mason Jar
04:02
|

|
Muddy waters stirred up by the pouring rain
Singing to the saints call each one up by name
I have sinned yeah, I have spilled the blues on holy ground
But I keep walking on, to the knock knock knocking sound, yeah
I'm feeling kind of hollow, I feel like scarecrow man
But I will keep taking steps till I reach that river shore, yeah
Top shelf of my closet in a dusty mason jar
Is where you keep my soul and a string from my guitar, yeah
Voodoo you do it keeps me in a state of mind
I'm on the bayou my downbeats just a bit behind
And if you set me free my soul it wouldn't go
Cause I found there's nothing sweeter than your muddy water love
Top shelf of my closet in a dusty mason jar
Is where you keep my soul and a string from my guitar
Top shelf of my closet in a dusty mason jar
Bound all up in a little doll with a string from my guitar yeah
Top shelf of my closet in a dusty mason jar
Is where you keep my soul and a string from my guitar

Missing Artifact
04:32
|
|||
|
There was no supernova
No signs that told me
Now I cannot find the sunlight
That burned inside me
Did you see it when I met you?
Was it somewhere in my eyes
Like a horse out on the prairie, running
With his mane on fire
And it's on my mind
That you're waiting for me
And my heart's still lost
Can you find it for me?
CHORUS:
Love went missing,
Love gone hollow
Along the tangled road to El Dorado
You were my Avalon
The map to you was in my hands
I lost it when I walked into the myst
Love is just a myth
I think I heard from someone
That you would follow me
But I’ve got to find this on my own
And that’s how it has to be
But someday when I come back
Like Indiana Jones
With my heart like a missing artifact
From the wreckage and the bones
And you’re on my mind
`Cause you're waiting for me
And my heart is gone
You can’t find it for me
Love went missing,
Love gone hollow
Along the tangled road to El Dorado
You were my Avalon
The map to you was in my hands
I lost it when I walked into the myst
Love is just a myth
Bridge:
And are these signals in the sky?
Stars that guided me this far
If they don’t lead me to what’s true
Then I’d like to believe
That maybe, maybe....
CHORUS
