My dreams lead me west
Hopefully someone there will find me
Beautiful
I will be a pioneer
Heading out to follow the sun
I may need a covered wagon
Shelter me from all I don’t know
‘cause it’s not my home
My dreams lead me west
I will be a pioneer
Heading out to follow the sun
You could be my covered wagon
Shelter me from all I don’t know
‘cause it’s not my home
So, we’ll leave here
We’ll leave here together
Yes, we’ll leave here
We’ll leave here together
I will be a pioneer
I will be a pioneer
You could be my covered wagon
Shelter me from all that I fear
And we’ll leave here
We’ll leave here together
Yes, we’ll leave here
We’ll leave here together
Yes, we’ll leave here
We’ll leave here together

Yours & Mine
03:29

Babe, come on and take my hand
Shed expectations in
The autumn of the heartland
My love is all you need to understand
Girl, just look into my eyes
Vexatious details
Let us lay them by the wayside
Love is on our terms, yours and mine
Love is on our terms, yours and mine
Babe, just listen to your heart
Beating down yours spine
A knowledge to impart
Your love has been here growing from the start
Girl, your love is bittersweet
A tender heart so callous
With a way-worn disbelief
But this ain’t no fleeting thing, not for me
No this ain’t no fleeting feeling, you will see
Can you smell
A season ripe with love
Can you smell
A season ripe with love
There it is:
Don’t try to force it
It will come around again
Don’t try to shape it
It is blowing like the wind
Don’t overthink it
Let it fly
Love is on our terms, yours and mine
Love is on our terms, yours and mine
Love is on our terms, yours and mine

Elevator Man

Have you met the elevator man
In the tower on 5th avenue
Going up and down he calls that box his house
The world calls him a fool
In the stagnant night the building sleeps
And he stays inside and dreams
Haunted by everywhere he’s been
Every day I go into work I know
I will see him there
I press the arrow up and as I wait
The elevator man appears
I sense his broken gaze pass straight through me
So I ask him what’s your name
He turns to me and says
“What floor would you like?”
“What floor would you like?”
His reply reverberates in me
“What floor would you like?’
“What floor would you like?”
Have you met the elevator man
In the tower on 5th avenue
Going up and down he calls that box his house
The world calls him a fool
In the stagnant night the building sleeps
And he stays inside and dreams
Haunted by everything it seems
And he stays inside and dreams
Haunted by everyone like me
“What floor would you like?”
“What floor would you like?”
“What floor would you like?”

Dearly Beloved
04:29
|

Dearly Beloved of Mine
Pull anchor and the mooring line
Like chapel chimes bestow the sacred rite
Oh my, dear brother of mine
Could you fathom your love
With a sounding line
Yeah, your heads above water
But your heart’s down deep in the brine
Oh my, sweet sister of mine
Your love grew green like a cinnamon vine
Yeah, he came like lattice
But admit it was
A really short climb
Dearly Beloved of Mine
Christen with a sparkling wine
And a hail-fellow-well-met reception line
Oh my bold brother of mine,
the spindrifts whistle and swells arise
you’ve bright eyes for the bow if not the bride
Oh spritely sister of mine
Aft and windward weather black as night
Your lovers’ sighs drown out the sirens chime
winds move in passion, the torrents in truth
all your starry conventions be damned
Some love only for riches,
some riches in love
Beware the intentions at hand
Keep close, heave ho,
As tangled a knot as did ever I see
Funereal sky
Run amok, run awry
As the sea moves to swallow
The dearly beloved of mine
Oh mighty brother of mine
How you held to the helm
With Sisyphean pride
The bowline snapped
And the waves crashed starboard-side
Oh frightened sister of mine
You reached for your bag
as you fell from the ratline
A deafening cry
And the maelstrom’s swift reply
Dearly Beloved, it’s fine
How you swam with the wind
And you fell with the sky
Another tale told
Just debris adrift in the tide (x3)

Muscle To Bone
04:02
|

|
Beats skipping, moments drifting
Your words ripping through comforts
Meticulously tearing
At every page of the book
You’re bold and you’re brilliant
You mold like gum in your cheek
Each phrase, a play, every note
You intend, to suspend
This deepening discourse that renders
Us fools
You don’t owe me anything
We keep chasing these sheets over
Skeletal dreams
So save your sleepless soliloquy
I plead
You don’t crave the touch
Don’t cling to my lips like a flame to a torch
But you want to be close
So pull my arms around your bones
I hold you for silence
I hold your tongue in my teeth
I fold your mouth like a note
I descend, you ascend
A crescendo, a coarse rending whisper
You’re cruel
You don’t owe me anything
We keep chasing these sheets over
Skeletal dreams
So save your sleepless soliloquy
I plead
You don’t crave the touch
Don’t cling to my lips like a flame to a torch
But you want to be close
So pull my arms around your bones
You don’t crave the touch
Don’t cling to my lips like muscle to bone
But you want to be close
You want to feel love (repeat X2)

More To Offer
03:04
|
|||
|
Rotting so slowly
Blister in the sun
Mister, spare a moment
Share your favorite song
I’ve been so defeated
Your teeth have torn my skin
Aesop, spare your fables
This race you cannot win
I’ve got so much more to offer
Stake my trashbag raincoat
On your averted gaze
We’ve each our lottery high hopes
In more than one way
Not so easily defeated
Amass your words and wind
Why rave and rise to meet it
These circles have no end
Slow and steady now
I’m fighting
The battles of your doubt
But trust me
I’ve got so much more to offer
Slow and steady now
I’m fighting
The battles of your doubt
But trust me
I’ve got so much more to offer

Broken Things
05:07
|
|||
|
Came summer in shades
That danced within hazel eyes
That bathed in waning light
Such passion of late
Let strange colors resonate
And paint us how they please
As sweet as a kiss
As tender a moment, this
As ever came again
Could I
Could I engender this
Could I
Could I surrender this
When composure breaks across a face as fine as painted porcelain
That’s alright, I have got such a soft spot for broken things
When composure breaks across a face as fine as yours
That’s alright, I have got such a soft spot and many more
Ere autumn’s reprise
Where colors kaleidoscope
And passions realign
Quiescent we splay
To pillage our restless thoughts
In this twilight foray
What a summer of lust
How burning convictions flew
Like verger in the gust
Could I
Could I have engendered this
Could I
Could I surrender this
When composure breaks across a face as fine as painted porcelain
That’s alright, I have got such a soft spot for broken things
When composure breaks across a face as fine as yours
That’s alright, I have got such a soft spot and many more
Could I
Could I have engendered this
Will I
Will I remember this
When we spread our branches wide
Eager to receive the summer
Lush and golden in our eyes
When composure breaks across a face as fine as painted porcelain
That’s alright, I have got such a soft spot for broken things
When composure breaks across a face as fine as yours
That’s alright, I have got such a soft spot and many more

Think It Wise
03:51
|

|
Think it wisdom
Counting every stone
That they could throw a blessing
Lesson learned just
Color in the lines
If you think it wise
Think it wise to
Stand out in the cold
And toil on forever
Growing older
Long before your time
If you think it wise
Winter’s wisdom
Born of glacial thoughts
Moves not the heart so, my child
Savor seasons
Effervescent glow
Like rabbit’s coats
as white as sundrenched snow
Sweeping strides put trifles down below
Mountains looming rife with your reproach
Keep your footing, fleet as foxes go
Wither do you
Wander in your best
And restless way my darling
Take your sleep
Upon my weathered knee
If you think it wise
Don’t you think you
Had better roll out
Your rattled bones, your weary
Soul upon the
Hearthstone, come on home
If you think it wise
Best think it wise
Winter’s wisdom
Born of glacial thoughts
Moves not the heart so, my child
Savor seasons
Effervescent glow
Like rabbit’s coats
as white as sundrenched snow
Keep your footing, fleet as foxes go
Think it wise to stand out in the cold
Savor season’s effervescent glow

Shake The Night
03:38
|
|||
|
On the wind she had to go
A dancer to the ebb and flow
Like the rain she had to slip
Always through my fingertips
Like the thunder we must shake the night
Gotta find someone and hold them tightly now
With the clouds we got to roll
If you love someone then let them know
Oh, gotta let you
Know, gotta let you know
Oh, gotta let you
Go, gotta let you go
Like the leaves are we bound to fall
Outta love until the thaw
Serrated veins and broken ribs
Softened now beneath the drift
In moments first of winter’s breath
Came the last of autumns sweet caressing touch
Smooth as purpose hitherto
All things dissolve to come anew
Oh, gotta let you
Know, gotta let you know
Oh, gotta let you
Go, gotta let you go

Blue Horizon
04:42
|

|
We came to the cliff, you dared me to jump, so I did
Now I’m broken and bruised, darling, I’d do it over again
I was torn by the rocks and pulled under by the waves
You looked down from the ledge, like an angel you called out my name
And it echoed on the
BLUE HORIZON
And it echoed on the
BLUE HORIZON
Now I made mistakes, darling, I’m not a perfect man
I had lost all control, flailing and gasping for air
Still, I’m torn by the rocks, the current is pulling me deep
You look out from the ledge, are your eyes still searching for me
As you gaze upon the
BLUE HORIZON
As you gaze upon the
BLUE HORIZON
Now I made mistakes, darling, I’m not a perfect man
But if you could love me, throw yourself into the wind
You’ll be torn by the rocks, but we’ll be united again
And float out to sea to get lost in the blue horizon
As we float into the
BLUE HORIZON
And we’re lost inside the
BLUE HORIZON
As we float on in the
BLUE HORIZON
And we’re lost inside the
BLUE HORIZON
Yea, we’re lost inside the
BLUE

Fallout
Winter winds blew cold
Froze autumn in her steps
My how
Our revels came to rest
With all our summer clothes
And we retreat into
the shelter of our homes
Shrink into the shelter of our hopes
Fallout
Winters winds blew chill
In the middle of our fill
Feet frozen in the rill
Yeah, there’s time enough
to just be still now
Yeah, there’s time enough
to just be still now
Fallout
Silvered every pine
That wintered in our hearts
Call out
All you could not impart
All you cannot resign
Fear not, my dear, all things fall lightly here
Fear not, all things fall lightly here
Fallout
Winter sky, so clear,
Irradiate all fear
All we have feared to feel
Give us time enough to just be still now
And there’s time enough to just be still now
Just be still now
Just
Crystallize.
Breathe and sigh.
Repose. Reside.
Jettison, reprise.
Fallout
Winter sky, so clear,
Irradiate all fear
All we have feared to feel
Give us time enough to just be still now
And there’s time enough to just be still now
Just be still now
Just
