from All For Love Vol. 1 (0000)
Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean Higher than any bird ever flew Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens I've been in love with you Stronger than any mountain cathedral Truer than any tree ever grew Deeper than any forest primeval I am in love with you I'll bring fire in the winters You'll send showers in the springs We'll fly through the falls and summers With love on our wings Through the years as the fire starts to mellow Burning lines in the book of our lives Though the binding cracks and the pages start to yellow I'll be in love with you Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean Higher than any bird ever flew Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens I've been in love with you I am in love with you |

Here's another little song for you. I hope you'll listen to it well. Means no different than the others do And it won't change you I can tell. Anyway, I love you Everyday I get more sure Anyway, I love you More and more and more and more and more. I have so much I can offer you More to please you with than most. But trying to tie you down is harder than Trying to hold on to a ghost. So if you ever feel the need for me Let it carry you along Don't be shy and try to hold it down Cause what you feel just can't be wrong |

Be on you way Don't try to say that You love me still. If we couldn't find The right dream by now Then we never will. We paid our dues at the door And never once saw the stage. We wrote our share of love's lore And never quite filled the page. So be on your way. Be on your way. Maybe someday we will Meet again. Try not to cry Tears make me think How it might have been. We loved as strong as we could But love only got in our way. We took our time to be free There's nothing much more to say but Be on your way |

Looking for a lady I'm looking for a lady To change my night to day Looking for a lady I'm looking for a lady To chase my blues away. Well, I have a few in mind But none in particular I have had them before But nothing that was for sure. And I'm in no position to barter And I'm in no condition to play the martyr And I'm sadder certainly But I'm smarter And I find myself. Looking for a lady I'm looking for a lady To share my empty bed Looking for a lady I'm looking for a lady To soothe my aching head. Well, I have a few in mind But none in particular I have had them before But nothing that was for sure. And my feelings have grown rigid like a wooden post. And my love is like a curtain that has been drawn closed And my life just isn't going The way I thought it was supposed to And I'm crying and I find myself. Looking for a lady I'm looking for a lady To change my night to day |

If there are any words That we haven't said, Let us say them. I know all too well How people's lies betray them. More than ever I'll wait for you there. More than ever I will need you to care And I'll never Need more than a prayer To be near you. To be near you. Time is a baby child Found in the rain Born of fever. She'll bring you pretty songs Laced through with lies But don't you believe her. More than ever I'll wait for you there. More than ever I will need you to care And I'll never need More than a prayer To be near you. To be near you |

Stood out in the rain Let it soak me down Before I called you...I called you. Didn't see me there Hidden by the rain Beneath your window...But I saw you. Putting on your face before the Mirror on the wall Dreaming that the looking glass was me... Catching your fondest gazes Living through your fickle phases I love you. And it's getting easier each day To weep about you Harder every night to sleep without you How many years must I be driven By this dream Of love with you? Spend my dimes on phones Trying just to talk but You don't answer...you let it ring. Spend my nights alone Catching falling stars to Give to you, love, They're just for you. For stars fall every time a lover has to face the truth And far too many stars have fell on me. And as they trail the skies And burn their paths upon my eyes I cry |

Watching the sun Watching it come Watching it come up over the rooftops. Cloudy and warm Maybe a storm You can never quite tell From the morning. Chorus And it's going to be a day There is really no way to say no To the morning. Yes it's going to be a day There is really nothing left to Say but Come on morning. Waiting for mail Maybe a tail From an old friend Or even a lover. Sometimes there's none But we have fun Thinking of all who might Have written. And maybe there are seasons And maybe they change And maybe to love is not so strange. The sounds of the day They hurry away Now they are gone until tomorrow. When day will break And you will wake And you will rake your hands Across your eyes And realize That it's going to be a day There is really no way to say no To the morning. Yes it's going to be a day There is really nothing left to say but Come on morning. |

Her nest in your eyes She's got you thinking that Her love is a prize And you'll go under from The weight of her lies As the raven flies As the raven flies She'll bring you stories That just never sound true She'll bring you secrets That were never meant for you. And just as you come round She'll send you back through She's in love with you She's in love with you Darker, darker Don't let her talk her way Into you Lonely, lonely. You know she's only No good for you.

I can see you in the distance
And you're heading for a fall Sinking deeper by the minute You're about to lose it all... You better change Before the sun goes down You better leave Before you are the last in town. You better raise Your fortresses or tear them down... Tear them down. Tear them down. There's an angel on your shoulder And a devil at your feet And that door you see before you Could be poison tasting sweet. You better change Before the sun goes down You better leave Before you are the last in town. You better raise Your fortresses or tear them down... Tear them down. Tear them down.

Changing horses in the middle of
a stream Gets you wet and sometimes cold Changing faces in the middle of a dream Gets you old Oh, gets you old. Looking farther than you'll ever hope to see Takes you places you don't know Search for someone you can't ever hope to be And still you go Oh, still you go. Don't you think it's kind of sad to say, Don't you think it's gonna change? Makes you think you'll have to stay inside For a while. Changing horses in the middle of a stream Gets you wet and sometimes cold Changing faces in the middle of a dream Gets you old. |

Late nights in the kitchen I'm pretending I still care But we both know there's nothing there And you just keep on starin' At the door.

I have these moments
All steady and strong I'm feeling so holy and humble The next thing I know I'm all worried and weak And I feel myself Starting to crumble. The meanings get lost And the teachings get tossed And you don't know what you're Going to do next. You wait for the sun But it never quite comes Some kind of message comes Through to you. Some kind of message comes through. And it says to you... Chorus Love when you can Cry when you have to... Be who you must That's a part of the plan Await your arrival With simple survival And one day we'll all understand... I had a woman Who gave me her soul But I wasn't ready to Take it. Her heart was so fragile And heavy to hold And I was afraid I might Break it. Your conscience awakes And you see your mistakes And you wish someone Would buy your confessions. The days miss their mark And the night gets so dark And some kind of message Comes through to you Some kind of message Shoots through -- Chorus There is no Eden or Heavenly gates That you're gonna make it to One day But all of the answers you seek Can be found In the dreams that you dream On the way. |

Now the wind is still
In a moment it will be raging Now my soul is young In a moment it will be aging. And high above the pines I wrote several lines And left them in a bottle For you to find. Now the dream is rising In a moment it will be past This breath is my first It will all too soon be my last. And on a windy coast I made several toasts To you and me and the sea And no one heard. Now the wind is still In a moment it will be raging Now my soul is young In a moment it will be aging. And high above the pines I wrote several lines And left them in a bottle For you to find. |

Here is a poem
That my lady sent down Some morning while I was away. Wrote on the back of A leaf that she found Somewhere around Monterey. And here is the key To a house far away Where I used to live As a child. They tore down the building When I moved away And left the key unreconciled. And down in the canyon The smoke starts to rise. It rides on the wind Till it reaches your eyes. When faced with the past The strongest man cries...cries. And down in the canyon The smoke starts to rise. It rides on the wind Till it reaches your eyes. When faced with the past The strongest man cries...cries. And here is a sunrise To set on your sill. The ghosts of the dawn Moving near. They pass through your sorrow And leave you quite still... Sitting among souvenirs. |

She was lost
And I thought I was found Even so I tried To bring her in... She was young And I had just begun To learn that even Losing men can win. We went the long way We went the long way We went the long way... Or maybe just the wrong way I'll never know. Overnight We were shown the light Neither of us knew To look away... So we burned And far too late we learned That lifetimes can't be lived out In a day. We went the long way We went the long way We went the long way... Or maybe just the wrong way I'll never know. So, goodbye At least me made the try Something can be said for love that's pure. If and when We ever try again One thing will be known to us For sure... We'll go the long way We'll go the long way We'll go the long way... Or maybe just the wrong way I'll never know. |

I used to think of myself as a soldier Holding his own against impossible odds Badly outnumbered and caught in a crossfire Of devils and gods. All I ever wanted to be was free All I ever wanted to see was within my eyes to see Oh, but, these days Are just like you and me These days Are just like you and me. You used to be something I could believe in How could you let me forsake myself so, You used to think of your life as a riddle With no answer known. All you ever wanted to be was free All you ever looked for was what was within your sights to see Oh, but, these days Are just like you and me These days Are just like you and me These days Are just like you and me. We used to live like there was no tomorrow Tasting our trials a day at a time Laughing at sorrow and crying for justice Such innocent crimes. All we ever wanted to be was free All we ever looked for was what was within our eyes to see Oh, but, these days Are just like you and me These days Are just like you and me Just like you and me.

He keeps getting nearer But I am not moving The man in the backstreet Is holding a trackmeet But I will not run. Someplace inside you a Seed has been born You've got to watch it grow Someplace inside you A river is waiting to flow Will you let it go? Those voices you're hearing Are never worth fearing They're only inside you They'll tempt you and taunt you They'll help you and haunt you But don't try to hide. Sometimes the sun will be Right at your shoulder Helping you keep your stride Sometimes you might have to give up A piece of your pride Have you even tried?

Next time I ain't gonna fall on my knees And come out of love emptyhanded. But next time I'll be even harder to please When will the next time be?

End of October The sleepy brown woods seem to Nod down their heads to the Winter. Yellows and grays Paint the sad skies today And I wonder when You're coming home. Woke up one morning The wind through the window Reminded me Winter Was just 'round the bend. Somehow I just didn't See it was coming It took me by surprise again. And I hear you're in San Francisco Living with your sister who's a mother to be. And her husband's way down in Georgia And I'm still in old Tennessee... Wishing you'd come home to me. Life here is easy I'm sure you recall How it's so warm and breezy In the Summer and the Fall. But Winter's upon me And I've got no heat here And I miss your fire so sweet, Dear I miss your fire so sweet. And I hear you're in San Francisco Living with your sister who's a mother to be.

I saw you running Ahead of the crowd I chased but never thought I'd catch you. You said you loved me But you had to be free And I let you. Why did I let you? We walked together Through the gardens and graves I watched you grow To be a woman. Living on promises That nobody gave To no one. They were given to no one. I started listening To the wind and the rain. You strained your ears But could hear nothing. One night I thought I heard them Whisper my name. And I went running. I left a trail of footprints Deep in the snow I swore one day I would retrace them. But when I turned around I found that the wind Had erased them. Now I'll never replace them. Fly away, my sweet bird over the land Take life for all the freedom you can But if you ever should need a man Well, the offer still stands. I hear you've taken on a husband and child and live somewhere in Pennsylvania I never thought you'd ever sever the string But I can't blame you none. So let the ashes fall And lay where they will Just say that once You used to know me. One last time sing that old song We used to know But this time sing A little more slowly. Fly away, my sweet bird over the land Take life for all the freedom you can But if you ever should need a man Well, the offer still stands |

Dancing shoes
On the wall above your bedside Saw it all as we performed our pirouette Fleshes fused As the flicker of the candles Threw upon the wall a single silhouette. Tu es dan ma coeur et dans ma t?te Dancing shoes We have loved on distant beaches Where the winter never reaches There we fell Dying swan On the dawn you danced before me Though your eyes were dark and stormy I stood still. Qui peut dire le faux et le r?el? Dancing shoes Though the distances divide us There's a paradise inside us We can't lose. Me and you Dance a 'pas de deux' Forever And I pray you never Shed your dancing shoes. |

Oil on canvas
Couplets and stanzas To divine who you are Pencil portrayals and Jealous betrayals Get you further afar. False faces and Meaningless chases I travel alone First places and Calendar races I need a home. Hostile hotel walls Footfalls and phone calls And you're on the line Gentle coercions and Bitter desertions When the truth is a lie. False faces and Meaningless chases I travel alone First places and Calendar races I need a home. Lover twice yearly That last battle nearly Cost me the fight. Broke through the ice And got cut down to size And escaped through the night. False faces and Meaningless chases I travel alone First places and Calendar races I need a home. |

Girl, what's the hurry? Love can wait if you're worried Then I'll try to ease your mind You say we're losing time But I've got to find A way to convince you. I've got cause to be wary For so long I've had to carry The weight of another soul You say I won't let go But how do you know I can? Give me some time now I've just got to find how I'm going to forget her And talk myself into believing That she and I are through Then maybe I'll fall for you. You're just Just what I've needed But I'd be Unfair and conceited To say you're the only one Woman, I'm on the run From something I have begun And can't seem to finish. Although it hasn't been recent I still think it wouldn't be decent To let you believe in me So soon I've got to make you see What she meant to me So please Give me some time, now I've just got to find how I'm going to forget her And talk myself into believing That she and I are through Then maybe I'll fall for you. |

You
With the past at your back And the future unsure Asked For the chance to try Love once more. Well aware of the consequences Should the dream fall through You threw down you last defenses Wanting to try something new Wanting to try something new. You found me In a sea of confusion Drifting with the tide Living On love that had long since died. But everytime that I touch you, baby I feel a little more alive And I'm reminded how much you've made me Believe in the love that survives Believe in the love that survives. Lessons learned are like Bridges burned You only need to cross them but once Is the knowledge gained Worth the price of the pain? Are the spoils worth the cost of the hunt? Are the spoils worth the cost of the hunt? Borne On the first warms winds of Feelings newly found Fly But remember Don't look down Take as much as you think you ought to Give just as much as you can Don't forget what your failures have taught you Or else you'll learn them all over again Or else you'll have to learn them All over again.

Climbing a mountain
In darkness Stranded alone on the ledge. Every attempt that I make to hold on Pushes me nearer the edge. Sensing the changes impending My thoughts are diffused by despair I feel like I'm swimming straight up Underwater Desperately racing for air I'm racing for air. And the chords struck at birth Grow more distant Yet, we strike them again and again. And we plead and we pray For a glimmer of day As the night folds its wings And descends Exposing the loose ends. Surrounding myself with possessions I surely have more than I need I don't know if this is justice, hard earned, Or simply a matter of greed A matter of greed. And the chords struck at birth Grow more distant Yet, we strike them again and again. And we plead and we pray For a glimmer of day As the night folds its wings And descends... Exposing the loose ends. And the chords struck at birth Grow more distant Yet, we strike them again and again.

Try your best to see through the
confusion Seems the more you see The less you try You don't know what's real and what's illusion If you don't know by now then how should I? (I've been thinking 'bout the) Love gone by Honey, has the well run dry? It's enough to make you cry Thinking 'bout the love gone by. Give me back my heart And call it even Ain't no use in figuring who's to blame Once I thought this love was made in heaven Now I think it's just a crying shame. (And I've been thinking 'bout the) Love gone by Honey, has the well run dry? It's enough to make you cry Thinking 'bout the love gone by. Winners never know the worth of losing 'Til the prize has slipped right through their hands Love will take a heart of its own choosing And break it if you try to understand. (We're left with nothing but the) Love gone by Honey, has the well run dry? It's enough to make you cry Thinking 'bout the love gone by. |

High on this mountain
The clouds down below I'm feeling so strong and alive From this rocky perch I'll continue to search For the wind And the snow And the sky I want a lover I want some friends And I want to live in the sun And I want to do all the things that I never have done. Sunny bright mornings And pale moonlit nights Keep me from feeling alone Now, I'm learning to fly And this freedom is like Nothing that I've ever known I've seen the bottom And I've been on top But mostly I've lived in between And where do you go When you get to the end of your dream? Off in the nether lands I heard a sound Like the beating of heavenly wings And deep in my brain I can hear a refrain Of my soul as she rises and sings Anthems to glory and Anthems to love and Hymns filled with early delight Like the songs that the darkness Composes to worship the light. Once in a vision I came on some woods And stood at a fork in the road My choices were clear Yet I froze with the fear Of not knowing which way to go One road was simple Acceptance of life The other road offered sweet peace When I made my decision My vision became my release. |

Every morning you wake up alone
And you shake up your soul But nothing stirs So you take the love of whoever you please But you can't find no reason For giving yours. 'Cause, once upon a time You held a love so strong and fine That all the others simply don't compare She's always on your mind But once upon a time You had her there. Drive into town 'most every night On the chance that there might be someone Waiting for you You tell yourself you'll Give it your best Maybe settle for less But you never do. 'Cause, once upon a time You held a love so strong and fine That all the others simply don't compare She's always on your mind But once upon a time You had her there.

Promises made
Promises broken Measures of our demise Secrets of souls that Rarely get spoken Pleasure's a thin disguise. Dozens of ways Dozens of reasons Shielding our hearts from pain Riddles of romance That distance may yet explain. Certain of nothing So fearful of love Nobody seems to show you enough Over and over The scenes are replayed And once again Those promises made. Feeling forsaken Broken in two How did this ever happen to you? Taken for granted Bruised and betrayed Lonely survivors These promises made. Dozens of ways Dozens of reasons Shielding our hearts from pain Riddles of romance That distance may yet explain. Certain of nothing You're so damn fearful of love Nobody seems to show you enough Over and over The scenes are replayed And once again Those promises made. |

Seldom seen
A scarecrow's dream I hang in the hopes of replacement Castles tall I built them all But I dream that I'm trapped in the basement. And if you ever hear me calling out And if you've been by paupers crowned Between the worlds of men and make-believe I can be found. Plans I've made A masquerade Fading in fear of the coming day Heroes' tales Like nightingales Wrestle the wind as they run away. And if you ever hear them calling out And if you've been by paupers crowned Between the worlds of men and make- believe I can be found. Garden gate An empty plate Waiting for someone to come and fill Scarecrow's dreams Like frozen streams Thirst for the fall But they're running still. And if you ever hear me calling out And if you've been by paupers crowned Between the worlds of men and make-believe I can be found. |

Late in the summer
When the cottonwood dies The fields are on fire With green bottleflies And I'm still seeing reflections Of me in your eyes And why did you leave Last summer? Now, the seasons are changing From summer to fall And I've still got that picture Hung on my wall And there's so much forgotten And too much recalled And why did you leave At all? Standing beside you Mid-winter day Hearts beating close Together. Wishing that we'd found Someway to make That moment last Forever. Standing silent--laughing-- Breathing steam Gazing down into a freezing stream... I saw the face of a child I saw the face of a child. |

Tell me a secret
Tell me a lie Tell me the truth if you have to Say what you see fit But don't ask me why Love never seems to last you. In times like these It's hard to keep a man off his knees In times like these It's hard to keep a man off his knees. Over a barrel Under a spell Money's the demon that drives you Limping through heaven Or running through hell Happiness smiles but denies you. In times like these It's hard to keep a man off his knees In times like these It's hard to keep a man off his knees. Nothing before you Nothing behind Thoughtlessly chasing the thunder Travelling lightly Travelling blind Never detouring to wonder why.

If I could ever say it right
And reach your hostage heart Despite the doubts you harbor then you might Come to believe in me. The life I lead is not the kind That gives a woman peace of mind I only hope someday you'll find That you can believe in me. Those other loves that came before Mean nothing to me anymore But you can never be quite sure And will not believe in me. Too many hearts have been broken Failing to trust what they feel But trust isn't something that's spoken And love's never wrong when it's real. If I could only do one thing Then I would try to write and sing A song that ends your questioning And makes you believe in me.

World spinning out of control
The odds diminish every die we roll But we are still in the game If we should lose there's only us to blame. Or have we gone too far Am I just wishing on a dying star Oh, tell me--have we gone too far? Look 'round you What do you see Six billion people where there's room for three So many mouths go unfed Oh Father give us all our daily bread. Or have we gone too far Am I just wishing on a dying star Oh, tell me--have we gone too far? Each year we find newer ways To turn this planet into empty space So close now to zero ground We've got to find a way to turn it 'round.

A bad situation
Right from the start She played me for a fool And she broke my heart An infatuation A hard loss to take But we all must make our own mistakes. Let her go I knew I had to let her go You know it wasn't easy It was painfully slow But I swear I finally let her go. All of these feelings Were so long ago I haven't felt a thing since I let her go But you don't believe it You still have your doubts And while you do the tension mounts. Let her go You know you got to let her go You know it's never easy It's painfully slow But you know you got to Let her go. I will not deny it I tried to hold on But human hearts can only stay broke so long I told you the truth How much more can I do Now, my love, it's up to you. Let her go You know you got to let her go You know it's never easy It's painfully slow But you know you got to Let her go.

She says no
When she means yes And what she wants You know that I can't guess When we want more You know we ask for less Such is the language of love... I say leave When I mean stay But she don't see And so she moves away What we really want You know we rarely say Such is the language of love. It's tooth for tooth and eye for eye We hide our hearts And then we won't say why It's truth for truth and lie for lie Such is the language of love. One cries foul And will not speak The other claims a little victory And all the time You know we fail to see This is the language of love. When a loves begins to wander No one ever knows But we feel it deep inside us Long before it shows Long before it shows. We hem and haw We balk and bluff Our words don't ever seem to say enough But a simple smile A tender touch Speaks the true language of love.

And so many never do So many hearts are lost With never a clue. So many nights are passed in sorrow So many days go by So many lovers lose And never know why. Still the lovers in the backseats claw And still the wives wait up Everybody's trying desperately to fill their loving cup. All through the night We thrust and parry Letting our best sides show Then in the morning light We lie and let go. Everyone searching for somebody Someone to kiss and tell More often than not Our heavens turn into hell.

Tucson, Arizona
Rising in the heat Like a mirage Tony keeps his Chevy Like a virgin Locked in his garage He brings it out at midnight And cruises down The empty boulevards And he prowls The darkened alleys That snake between The city's thirsty yards The lonely desert skies Reflect the anger in his eyes And it is dawn His father died of drinking And left five children sinking With his mom His older brother Bobby Never made it back From Vietnam With high school well behind him He lives at home and Works this shitty job And he thinks his '60 Chevy Is the only true amigo That he's got His heart is filled with sadness And his soul is like Some ugly vacant lot Mary Estelle Hanna Come out from Louisiana For the sun A deal gone bad in Dallas Left her burned and broke And on the run To make the rent and groceries She takes this job at $3.15 an hour Serving shots of whiskey and tequila In some smoky red-neck bar And she dreams some day She'll make her way to L.A. And become a movie star Tony saw her working He swallowed hard and Asked her for a date Mary laughed and answered "I would but every night I'm working late" He said he had some cocaine That she could have If she'd just ride along She said, "What the hell I may as well I haven't had no fun In so damn long" He picked her up at closing time They pulled out on the road And they were gone Tony's mom got frantic When she found her son Had not come home Mary's roommate panicked And called the sheriff From a public phone They asked her lots of questions She tried her best to tell Them what she saw And late that night They found poor Mary Lying in some narrow, dusty draw And the coroner reported That she hadn't been Deceased for very long Two weeks on they found it Buried to the windshield In the sand There inside lay Tony With a small revolver In his hand The papers simply stated It must have been the Drugs that drove him mad The neighbors speculated What could make a good boy Go so bad? Well, it might have been The desert heat It might have been the Home he never had |

Up every morning
Long before day Cooking her breakfast alone She quietly dresses And pulls up the shades And sits in the chair by the phone. But nobody ever comes by anymore Nobody ever calls Most days she sits and just stares At the windows and walls Windows and walls. Children all married Husband's passed on Nothing but time on her hands Most of her mornings Are spent in her dreams Or making her sad little plans. Maybe she'll go to the corner today And pick up the new McCalls If just to escape for an hour From her windows and walls Windows and walls. The clock on the mantel Chiming the hours Must be the loneliest sound She washes her dishes and waters her flowers And afterwards has to sit down. Sometimes she still can remember a child Playing with china dolls... Now all that she's left Are these memories and windows and walls Windows and walls (day after day) Windows and walls. |

Linda lost a lover
In the early part of autumn And she moved out to the country Hoping all would be forgotten The last time that I saw her She was makin' sure the winter Wouldn't come through that old door frame Where the door is several inches From the ground, the cold hard ground And it's hard to go down easy And it's hard to keep from cryin' And it's hard to lose a lover In the early part of autumn Well, she learned to cook the meals And she learned to start the fire And she learned to make jewelry Out of stones and precious metals She sits down to the table With her friends and several others And she tries real hard to never be alone And it's hard to go down easy And it's hard to keep from cryin' And it's hard to lose a lover In the early part of autumn Now the winter wind blows cold Upon a fair and gentle soul And she feels as if her time is a-passin' easy Her friends are sometimes lovers Though they'll always be another She thinks about when the night time lays on down And it's hard to go down easy And it's hard to keep from cryin' And it's hard to lose a lover In the early part of autumn And it's hard to go down easy And it's hard to keep from cryin' And it's hard to lose a lover In the early part of autumn |

There's a place in the Rockies
A place that I know Where the world cannot find me And the time goes so slow. In the piney wood forest There's a flower that grows Through the long months of winter And the high country snows. To a house by a meadow 'Neath the towering peaks Is a place where my heart goes When it's love that it seeks. There a woman lies waiting Like the wild growing rose Through the long months of winter And the high country snows. In the space of a lifetime A man misses much Till he finds him a woman And treasures her touch. When the lakes all are frozen And the wild wind blows I'll return to my darlin' And the high country snows. I'll return to my darlin' And the high country snows. |

Shallow rivers run between us
Where a stone may never sink. Though we taste, we are left thirsty For a deep and soulful drink. Narrow channels, barely open Fraught with dangers out of view; In the current, we are helpless Still I cling to you. Grab me woman, take me under, Till I can't tell up from down. We have barely got our feet wet and I want, I want to drown. Shallow rivers run between us Never mind the nevermore, Up ahead the water quickens; I can hear those rapids roar. Narrow channels, barely open Flood the waves with treachery, Hope I long to see the sunrise On a peaceful sea. Grab me woman, take me under, Till I can't tell up from down. We have barely got our feet wet and I want, I want to drown. |

In the Spring of Forty-seven,
So the story, it is told, Old John Sutter went to the mill site Found a piece of shining gold. Well, he took it to the city Where the word, like wildfire, spread. And old John Sutter soon came to wish he'd Left that stone in the river bed. For they came like herds of locusts Every woman, child and man In their lumbering Conestogas They left their tracks upon the land. Some would fail and some would prosper Some would die and some would kill Some would thank the Lord for their deliverance And some would curse John Sutter's Mill. Well, they came from New York City, And they came from Alabam' With their dreams of finding fortunes In this wild unsettled land. Well, some fell prey to hostile arrows As they tried to cross the plains. And some were lost in the Rocky Mountains With their hands froze to the reins. Oh... Some would fail and some would prosper Some would die and some would kill Some would thank the Lord for their deliverance And some would curse John Sutter's Mill. Well, some pushed on to California And others stopped to take their rest. And by the Spring of Eighteen-sixty They had opened up the west. And then the railroad came behind them And the land was plowed and tamed, When Old John Sutter went to meet his maker, He'd not one penny to his name. Oh... Some would fail and some would prosper Some would die and some would kill Some would thank the Lord for their deliverance And some would curse John Sutter's Mill. And some would curse John Sutter's Mill Some men's thirsts are never filled. |

Among the possesions of an outlaw of a low class kind
Is this little bottle of French perfume Taken as a last thought from a drug store in suburbia He said, "Lady, look what I've got for you." She said, "Jesse, I don't hardly even know you anymore. And judging from your grin, you'd think you held up Henry Ford. And I don't believe I want you a comin' 'round here anymore. Ooh." Jesse, he was hurt, boy, and he left there, and he slammed the door. And he wandered through the alleyways. Thinkin' all the while that she'd be proud of what he stole for her, And he tried to think of better ways. Dreamin' of a movie that he'd seen one afternoon, He drew out all his savings and he went and bought a gun. And he ran right home and stood before his mirror Acting like a thug, ooh. He waited for a dark night; he was frightened, boy, the fog rolled in, As a rich man, he came walkin' by, "Hold your hands up high," he cried, "I've come to make your fortune mine." But his eyes, they gave him right away, Jesse dropped the gun and they both stared at to where it lay. And Jesse asked the man if he'd please leave him in his pain. And the man tried to forgive him, but there's not much he could say. Ooh. Among the possessions of an outlaw of a low class kind Is this little bottle of French perfume Taken as a last thought from a drugstore in suburbia. He said, "Lady, look what I've got for you."

She's got a way of getting so inside you
That you think she's gonna steal your soul She's got a way of making sure that you can't let go. She's got a trail of broken hearts behind her Like a shadow where no shadow's cast I ain't the first one and I doubt that I'll be the last. Too long--too late You're wrong To ever think she'd wait. Chorus She don't look back. She don't look back. The lady don't look back And when she's gone she's gone. You can never tell just what she's after You can never read it in her eyes And in her laughter there's no hint of compromise. You can stare into the fire forever You can squeeze a stone until it bleeds But you will never find the kind of love she needs. Too much--too late You're such a fool to think she'd wait.

So full of pride that I could not see straight I thought you'd change If I could only wait I see the truth now but it's much too late Cause now you run from me And I will set you free If that's the way it must be. Oh--oh--baby how'd it ever get so cold and mean Oh--oh. Is there nothing left but silence in between. ( ) Baby how'd we hold on so long To something both of us must have known was wrong We're either fools or must be terrible strong. Cause now you run from me. And I will set you free If that's the way it must be |

Look...what you're doing
Baby what in heaven are you thinking of? Look...what you're doing Will you throw away such sweet, sweet love, Will you throw away such sweet, sweet love. You used to say that you would always stay But now you say you want to find your freedom. But are the promises of being free Worth the sacrifice of all you had with me. You know I've always tried the best I could To prove my love to you and make you happy And once upon a time if felt so good What has happened now to make you want to fly. Do you want to see me cry? Look...what you're doing Baby what in heaven are you thinking of? Look...what you're doing Will you throw away such sweet, sweet love, Will you throw away such sweet, sweet love. I ain't the fool that you believe I am You tell your lies but I can see right through them. Cause in your eyes I see another man But he will never love you like you know I can. Oh, girl, you know I can. (You better open up your eyes and) Look...what you're doing Baby what in heaven are you thinking of? Look...what you're doing Will you throw away such sweet, sweet love, Will you throw away such sweet, sweet love. |

There's thorns on the cactus tree
There's thorns on the rose There's thorns in the heart of me That nobody knows They tear at the flesh until The tears start to rise They form in my heart But they fall from Anastasia's eyes. And I was lost in the wilderness Without courage or hope I was setting my signal fires And watching the smoke When out of the smoke appeared The sweetest surprise And I knew I'd been found When first I looked in To Anastasia's eyes. There's thorns on the cactus tree There's thorns on the rose There's thorns in the heart of me That nobody knows But finally I've found out where My salvation lies It lies in the love that lives In Anastasia's eyes |

In the overcrowded cities where the nights are bright as day
You spend your weekly paycheck and turn your eyes away From the crisis we've created with our self-indulgent ways Living like there's no tomorrow, well that just might be the case Now they're tearing down the forests and the jungles of Brazil Without a second thought about the species that they kill But extinction is forever and still the forests fall And push it ever closer to extinction for us all But you're so blind to the truth, blind to the truth And you can't see nothing Cause you're so blind to the truth, blind to the truth And the judgment day is coming Now the politicians bicker on the early evening news Pledging their allegiance to whoever they can use The corporate bosses snicker as they watch the profits soar They don't care what they make next month just as long as it is more They take our farms and marshlands, drive nature to the wall Just so they can build another Goddamn shopping mall And it doesn't seem to matter if they cannot see the stars As long as they can keep on building obsolescent cars They're so blind to the truth, blind to the truth No they can't see nothing They're so blind to the truth, blind to the truth But the judgment day is coming Now you cannot drink the water and you cannot breathe the air The sky is ripping open and you still don't seem to care The soil is tired and toxic and unable to provide The clock is running out and there is nowhere left to hide Now there's laws that we must live by and they're not the laws of man Can't you see the shadow that moves across this land The future is upon us and there's so much we must do And you know I can't ignore it and my friend neither can you Unless you're blind to the truth, blind to the truth And you can't see nothing You're so blind to the truth, blind to the truth But the judgment day is coming |

Up through the branches
The stars shine above On the arroyos And mesas you loved And as the moon rises The black mountain mourns For the old friend He'll look on no more Jacks-In-The-Pulpit Bones in the sky Long winding rivers That never ran dry And the secrets she gathered From the wild blowing sands Breathed in her heart And her hands I sing to your spirit Where all my dreams dwell The vision, the freedom The life lived so well And I sing in your canyons And the echoes ring clear And I wish somehow You may still hear |

They came from Scandinavia, the land of midnight sun
And crossed the North Atlantic when this century was young They'd heard that in America every man was free To live the way he chose to live and be who he could be Some of them were farmers there and tilled the frozen soil But all they got was poverty for all their earnest toil They say one was a sailor who sailed the wide world round Made home port, got drunk one night, walked off the pier and drowned My mother was of Scottish blood, it's there that she was born They brought her to America in 1924 They left behind the highlands and the heather-covered hills And came to find America with broad expectant dreams and iron wills My granddad worked the steel mills of central Illinois His daughter was his jewel, his son was just his boy For thirty years he worked the mills and stoked the coke-fed fires And looked toward the day when he'd at last turn 65 and could retire And the sons become the fathers and their daughters will be wives As the torch is passed from hand to hand And we struggle through our lives Though the generations wander, the lineage survives And all of us, from dust to dust We all become forefathers by and by The woman and the man were wed just after the war And they settled in this river town and three fine sons she bore One became a lawyer and one fine pictures drew And one became this lonely soul Who sits here now and sings this song to you And the sons become the fathers and their daughters will be wives As the torch is passed from hand to hand And we struggle through our lives Though the generations wander, the lineage survives And all of us, from dust to dust We all become forefathers by and by |

You never get to stop and open your eyes One day you're waiting for the sky to fall The next you're dazzled by the beauty of it all When you're lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time These fragile bodies of touch and taste This vibrant skin, this hair like lace Spirits open to the thrust of grace Never a breath you can afford to waste When you're lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time When you're lovers in a dangerous time Sometimes you're made to feel as if your love's a crime But nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight You got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight When you're lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time Lovers in a dangerous time |

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain And let me be alone again The only girl I've ever loved has gone away Looking for a brand new start But little does she know that when she left that day Along with her he took my heart Rain please tell me now does that seem fair For her to steal my heart away when she don't care I can't love another when my heart's somewhere far away Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain Telling me just what a fool I've been I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain And let me be alone again The only girl I've ever loved has gone away Looking for a brand new start Little does she know that when she left that day Along with her she took my heart Rain won't you tell her that I love her so Please ask the sun to set her heart a glow And rain in her heart and let the love we know start to grow Rain please tell me now does that seem fair For her to steal my heart away when he don't care I can't love another when my heart's somewhere far away Oh listen to the falling rain Oh rhythm of the falling rain Oh listen to the falling rain Oh rhythm of the falling rain |

Broken clouds along the blue horizon
The sun is setting and the wind is dying down Outward bound, there is music all around Can you hear it, it's the song of the sea Soundings taken at the edge of darkness The widest silences the heart can ever hear You can steer to the stars along your lee Set you bearings to the, the song of the sea Oh and the song is as ancient as the days And the winds upon the waves Let it carry you away, so far away Trim my sails to greet the breaking morning Past the headlands to the rolling open sea And it comes to me, I have never felt so free As when I'm listening to the, the song of the sea Oh and the song is as ancient as the days And the winds upon the waves Let it carry me away, so far away Some were meant to watch the world from windows And never look beyond the road beneath their feet But for me, I was always meant to be One forever chasing the song of the sea The song of the sea The song of the sea |

I'm riding fast across this dusty road But I don't want to be, no I don't want to be Above the ridge an eagle flies In lazy circles in the western skies I want to fly with him I want to walk the spirit trail I've seen them come I've seen them go Off to the oilfields and rodeos To find a better way, they leave their native soil But I can hear a different song The drum within my heart is beating strong I want to follow it, I've got to walk the spirit trail Let every creature I see be a brother and a friend to me Let every step that I take leave the footprints of a warrior Along the spirit trail Heya-heya heya hiyo Heya-heya heya hiyo Heya-heya heya hiyo Heya-heya heya hiyo They took the land, they took control They robbed my father of his very soul To be like one of them, to be like one of them But I was born a native son And I will never be another one To give it all away I've got to walk the spirit trail Let every creature I see be a brother and a friend to me Let every step that I take leave the footprints of a warrior Along the spirit trail Heya-heya heya hiyo Heya-heya heya hiyo Heya-heya heya hiyo Heya-heya heya hiyo Let every creature I see be a brother and a friend to me Let every step that I take leave the footprints of a warrior Along the spirit trail Heya-heya heya hiyo Heya-heya heya hiyo Heya-heya heya hiyo Heya-heya heya hiyo |

I was walking alone through the lofty San Juans
With a heart full of light and a head full of songs I was thinking of time and how much it will cost To recapture the souls that we surely have lost In the cities and towns there are millions who dream But the traffic's so loud that you can't hear them scream There's a heaven on earth that so few ever find Though the map's in your soul and the road's in your mind So many mountains before us, so many rivers to cross Where is the wisdom to bring back the vision we've lost Can we gaze with the wonder of children into the deafening night Has it gotten so dark that we cannot remember the light When you sleep on the ground with the stars in your face You can feel the full length of the beauty and grace In the wild places man is an unwelcome guest But it's here that I'm found and it's here I feel blessed |

In the eyes of the world your touch is like gold Your reputation's so cool and cruel and controlled You count your money in your prison tower Made of concrete, glass, and steel Feeling cozy in the hallow warmth Of another business deal You've climbed your way to the top, but lately it seems That there's a hole in the heart of the American dream Sitting pretty in your trophy room With your shining souvenirs That just remind you of the wasted time And the lateness of the years Is that all? Is that all there is? Is that all? There must be more than this In the eyes of the world your touch is like gold Your reputation's so cool and cruel and controlled In a moment it could all be gone In the twinkling of an eye Then what's your pile of precious pride worth then?

There was a time A simpler time When a man could be sure of where he stood I used to work at the yard Working honest and hard The hours were long but the pay was good I had a family and friends So many friends We'd drive to the lake on holidays Back then it wasn't so dear For a sandwich or beer At night I still dream I can see their faces Certain things that you depend upon There are places that you know And the faces of America Oh, where did they go? Where did they go? I was born on a farm A midwestern farm I rode on the tractor with my dad And though we never had much It was always enough And we made the best of what we had Then came four years of drought And the bottom dropped out My father was broken like the rest I can still see his hands Signing over his lands And the bankers grow fat on the flesh of the dispossessed Certain things that you depend upon There are places I can go I sift the ashes of America For someplace I used to (someplace I used to) Someplace I used to (someplace I used to) Someplace I used to know There was a time A simpler time When a man could be sure of where he stood I used to work at the yard Working honest and hard The hours were long but the pay was oh so good Certain things that you depend upon I used to think were guaranteed Like the right of every man to work And feed his family And feed his family And the faces of America Seem so distant and estranged Have their eyes become too blind to see How much their hearts have changed?

Last night I dreamed I was looking down On the planet Earth spinning round and round And as I cast my gaze about I watched her lovely light go out The light went out And floating in the black of space I was looking into God's own face And in his hands he held this tiny Earth He said "Well ain't it a shame what they've done to her After I'd shown them to the holy road The holy road After I'd shown them to the holy road The holy road" "Well, I laid a bounty in their hands And only gave them ten commands But they never learned their lessons very well And they drove my garden straight to hell That's when they fell off of the holy road The holy road That's when they fell off of the holy road The holy road" (And then he told me) "Well the popes were frauds and the kings were fools And your presidents only dupes and tools Of the money makers and the Chiefs of Staff Who worshipped of that golden calf They turned their backs upon the holy road The holy road They turned their backs upon the holy road The holy road" (And then I told him) "Well, you made the sun and you made the sky The things that crawl and the things that fly And then you made the human race" And he said "Well, everybody makes mistakes I thought they'd want to walk the holy road The holy road I thought they'd want to walk the holy road The holy road" Even though it was just a dream It seemed as real as it could seem And often dreams the truth forebodes You got to get back children on the holy road Get back children on the holy road Get back children on the holy road Get back children on the holy road Holy road, holy road Got to get back on the holy road The holy road Got to get back on the holy road Holy road Got to get back on the holy road The holy road On the holy road The holy road On the holy road people On the holy road now On the holy road now Holy road On the holy road children On the holy road Holy holy, holy road |

I take my place along the shore And I wait for the tide It seems I've passed this way before In an earlier time I hear a voice, like mystery Blowing warm through the night The silent moon embraces me And I'm drawn to her light I follow footprints in the sand To a circle of stone And find a fire burning bright Though I came here alone And in the play of shadows cast I can dimly discern The shapes of all who've gone before Calling me to return There are no names That fit these faces There are no lines that can define These ancient spaces The spirits dance Across the ages And melt into a river of souls (Refrain espagnole) Lo que es mio? [What is mine? Lo que es de Dios? What is God's? Lo que es del rio? What is the river's?] Melt into a river of souls I take my place along the shore And I wait for the tide It seems I've passed this way before In an earlier time To every man the mystery Sings a different song He fills his page of history Dreams his dreams And is gone There are no names That fit these faces There are no lines that can define These ancient spaces The spirits dance Across the ages And melt into a river of souls (Refrain espagnole) Lo que es mio?

Joy at the start Fear in the journey Joy in the coming home A part of the heart Gets lost in the learning Somewhere along the road. Along the road Your path may wander A pilgrim's faith may fail Absence makes the heart grow stronger Darkness obscures the trail. Cursing the quest Courting disaster Measureless nights forebode Moments of rest Glimpses of laughter Are treasured along the road. Along the road Your steps may tumble Your thoughts may start to stray But through it all a heart held humble Levels and lights your way.

I saw her first in a beggar's game
Her eyes were wild but her laugh was tame Those people knew her by another name I knew that she'd be mine I knew that she'd be mine. She took me in on a winter's night The air was brittle and the moon was bright My heart was heavy but her touch was light Deep in the dance we wandered Deep in my heart she fell. The candles glistened and the water gleamed She drew a bath and the windows steamed She looked like every woman ever dreamed In the heart of a lonely man. In the heart of a lonely man. She took my blindness and she led me through As night retreated and the daylight grew And with the first rays of the sun I knew Love had another captive Love had another fool. The spell is broken and the chains fall free Finally my heart has come home to me It seems I've waited an eternity. I saw her first in a beggar's game Her eyes were wild but her laugh was tame Those people knew her by another name I knew that she'd be mine I knew that she'd be mine. |

Face the fire You can't turn away The risk grows greater With each passing day The waiting's over The moment has come To kill the fire And turn to the sun. They'll take your money And then take your health To line their pockets with Unequaled wealth These men are under The power of gold We won't be safe until we Shut them down cold. Face the fire You can't turn away The risk grows greater With each passing day The waiting's over The moment has come To kill the fire And turn to the sun.

I still recall the place When I first felt yourgypsy wind Playing on my face That summer's long since gone But gypsy winds have ways of staying on. Voices from our past Still insist on arguing That love will never last And though our hearts may turn It's only when you listen that you learn. And I wonder at the ways The strands of love meander Through our close and distant days The blood of passion plays Burns our thirsty souls And chases reason far away... Far away... And still your gypsy wind Will soothe my soul and call me back again. Growing wise with age We come to see the printing Through the pictures on the page Though something's always lost The gain is always tempered by the cost. And I wonder at the ways The strands of love meander Through our close and distant days The blood of passion plays Burns our thirsty souls And chases reason far away... Far away... And still your gypsy wind Will soothe my soul and call me back again |

Gonna pull in the shutters On this heart of mine Roll up the carpets and pull in the blinds And retreat to the chambers that I left behind In hopes there still may be Love left to find Still may be love left to find. Seek inspiration in daily affairs Now you soul is in trouble and requires repairs And the voices you hear at the top of the stairs Are only echoes of unanswered prayers Echoes of unanswered prayers. Well there's too many windows in this old hotel And rooms filled with reckless pride And the walls have grown sturdy And the halls have worn well But there is nobody living inside Nobody living inside... |
