Blackest Night
02:57
|
|||
|
Blackest night and the moon’s but a sliver
You promised that the darkness would soon deliver
There’s a hole in my heart since we had to part
I’m supposed to move on from the start
When you were gone my world did end
I had to keep moving to begin again
Now I’m working my way trying not to fight
I watched it get dark now I’m waiting for Light
The Heart has many desires
Mine says please won’t you keep on stoking that fire
If the flame goes out I’ll be cast out to sea
And all the little fishies will be feeding on me
Love lost, love again
The sun keeps burning as soil we tend
Love lost, love again
The garden growing and hearts do mend
Stars and fireflies collide
A melding of the minds between the land and the sky
It’s summertime and your with me my friend
There’s life after death and I’ll find you again
Chorus
Blackest night and the moon is but a sliver
You promised that the darkness would soon deliver
Now I’m working my way trying not to fight.
I watched it get dark now I’m waiting for Light

Crows
04:38

Crows know something that I don’t know
As they gather ‘round in the cold cold snow
Making the skies of gray into a better day
Lifting our eyes as they fly through the skies
To another world
In the trees where they reside
Hear their mournful cry
Oh yeah the mystery and wanting to be
Infused with light on the darkest night
Wings carry me on the wind
To a better way
Shadow of wings through the trees
From the fire light burning through the night
On the embers we blow
So we can watch them glow
O Big blue moon in the clear night sky
Well I’m up in the tower
Watching the hours go by
O see those lights coming down the road
O I see them coming across the snow
Maybe it’s you and you’re coming for me
Lifting me up, set me free
Crows know something that I don’t know
As they gather round in the cold cold snow
Making the skies of gray into a better day
Lifting our eyes as they fly through the skies
To another world

Friend
02:46
|
|||
|
You are a friend to me
Holding hands living wild and free
Pavement moves so fast under our feet
Endless dancing to the different beats
Even when you’re far away
You’re a part of my heart and my family
Love stretches out and touches us all
Keeping us connected no matter where we are
Where did you go?
What do you know?
Hearts don’t break but expand
Are we eternal or do we turn to sand?
No matter what they say or do
You’re a shining star
You’ve got to know it’s true
We need to know this we need to believe
Let the wind blow the clouds of distorted beliefs
If the burden to much to carry
Reach out to me you know that I’ll come running
Climb the highest mountain travel along
Come back home where you belong
You are a friend to me
Holding hands living wild and free

Kid

You’ve got a lot of heart, Kid
To do that thing that you did
What you think they’re gonna say
When they come home
And you’ve gone away?
Looking back over your life
Seeing more than struggle and strife
Didn’t you climb the highest hills
How many seas did you sail?
Hear the neighbors through the walls
They’re laughing and having a ball
It’s a certain kind of joy
Shedding light on where there’s a void
Now you’re not here with me
I’m walking blindly through the trees
A table with an empty place and
Pictures are your only face
Watching the minutes pass
Like hours only not as fast
Why’d you go and leave me here
To cry this river of tears
Pull myself from misery
See the forest through the trees
A numbness that seems to save
And gets me through another day
Someday, one day
Maybe we’ll understand why
Might fill the hole in the hearts
Of the people you left behind
You’ve got a lot of heart, Kid
To do that thing that you did
What you think they’re gonna say
When they come home
And you’ve gone away?
Looking back over your life
Seeing more than struggle and strife
Didn’t you climb the highest hills
How many seas did you sail?

Let it Be
02:49
|
|||
|
Let it be what it is, starshine sunrise
Ride the flying horse across skies
When we want we’re bending time
Stop and listen to the wild rose
Swallows you whole where no one knows
Know the wisdom that she wants to share
Hear her voice take you there
Let it be what it is, starshine sunrise
Ride the flying horse across skies
When we want we’re bending time
History of mystery is here and now
Heart of home, what you allow
Tangled threads we sew into place
Just our way to keep us in grief
Chorus
Stepping back off shaky ground
Coming from Love and the answers we found
A journey and risk to arms that hold you
It’s getting easier to bounce the blues
Let it be what it is, starshine sunrise
Ride the flying horse Across skies
When we want we’re bending time
Chorus

Let it Burn
03:47
|
|||
|
We come gather around
Bringing our hearts
To the burning ground
Flames lick the black
Warming the air
Faces in the night
At the fire we stare
We’re gonna let it burn
Twilight across the motherland
Let it in let the darkness expand
O we’re building a fire gonna watch it burn
We’re gonna watch it burn
Mesmerized by the flames
Scry the meaning of the shapes
Sounding out and back again
A circle, a friend
Chorus
The shadows are long
The lights are down low
Come on over baby
Let’s take it slow
We’ll go down
And watch the river flow
We’re gonna let it go
Chorus
She is of the night
A smouldering skull
With diamonds for eyes
Hands that soothe and claw that rake
Finding a home in the flame
Chorus

Outside Her
03:15
|
|||
|
You left me standing on a dark and wooded path
By the light of the moon, I can study the shadows cast
I left myself standing with my head hanging low
Staring at my feet on the dirt below
I’ve got one foot on the high ground
And the other in the gutter
Sorrow once again, will be my only mother
Outside looking inside her
Burned by the fire, tangled in the briar
Inside looking outside her
Sticks and stones, rocks and bones
If the mountain were to crumble and fall into the sea
If the sky were to tumble would you come running to me?
From the depths of the ocean to the winding of the streams
When the moon is in the high sky, it’s the only light we’ll see
Chorus
Oh I won’t be afraid when the shadow’s being cast
When the sun is in the high sky the shadow cannot last
Chorus

Running Like a Cat
02:28
|
|||
|
Running like a cat all alone
Got no place to call my own
Forsake yourself for another
Do you do you want to be a lover?
Can’t go back, moving forward
Away from the hills where the buffalo roam
Sun so hot yeah the days are longer
Trying to get back to where I’m from
See that house up on the hill
Nobody lives there but their walking there still
Four walls standing unoccupied
Empty and vacant ‘cause nobody would try
Empty and vacant ‘cause nobody would try
Is it a liar who doesn’t know?
Killing a house and it’s healthy glow
Now I’m burning like a woman on a funeral pyre
Burn baby burn, only gets me higher
Rock the boat babies all night long
There is no calm before the storm
A gift in the moment and a fire inside
Rock the boat babies as hearts collide
A phoenix from the flame rising from the pyre
An open road and burning desire
Now I’m running like a cat all alone
Got no place to call my own
Got no place to call my home
