Go Away

Some people are blind
Some people can see
Some people become
Whatever they wanna be
So here’s a little story
Though, it might seem unkind
But somebody someday is
Gonna leave you far behind
Go away, go away, go away little friend
Don’t you come back again
When the summer is gone
I guess I don’t understand
As I looked into your eyes
I reached out for your hand
Did you think that maybe
It would be this way?
When I got up to leave
We both knew that I would stay

Fields of Light

Gonna sing my song
Hope I get it right
Gonna tell my brother
Got to speak my mind
Got to tell my brother tonight
Hope to set things right
Getting off this world
Once it stops turning
Hope you’re not surprised
But it was frightening
Gonna sing my song
Hope I get it right
While the music shines
Before the last note fades
Hope I won’t be telling myself
“Oh, the songs I might have made”
Fields & fields of white light
Fields & fields of light
Hope I find that road you’re on
Long before the break of dawn
Fields & fields of white light
Fields & fields of light
Hope I find that road you’re on
Long before I’m dead & gone
Fields & fields of white light
Fields & fields of light

The Argentine
03:25
|

|
Ode to a little turtledove
Who sings of spring & who sings of love
Reduced to saving souls from door to door
But when she sings you’ll want her more
Song for a blue jay away he flew
If I could fly I would do that too
And if you leave then don’t come back no more
But if you stay then close the door
A day of remembrance, lost at sea
When all had strayed towards debauchery
The sea can chill the blood right through the bone
Lets steer this ship to parts unknown
Sad little play friend, all alone
Upon her knees she will scream & moan
For fifty cents she’ll scrub your feet so clean
For thirty more she’ll do the Argentine

Jasper my friend
Where have you gone to now?
You left me at the bitter end
So far away from home
Jasper my friend
I know you’re gonna be too late
But when the others fail
I know you’ll come through again
Jasper where’d you go
When the story fades?
You’ll be the hero in the end
Then they’re gonna be your friend

Until the Morning Light
03:47
|
|||
|
Whispering winds sweep the dewdrops
That fly through the air
And finds shelter in your hair
Then if you’re feeling so low
Feel the breeze & the music
And let all your thoughts grow
But until the morning light
Until you’re feeling right
Oh, sing this song
Until you heal the pain
Until it’s pouring rain
Oh, sing this song
Every now & again near the dawn
The sun thinks best to rise
And reflects into your eyes
Then if you’re still feeling down
Once again hear the music
Find salvation in sound
I can hear birds singing so high
In mountains & deserts
But only in my mind
Then if you’re still feeling blue
Hear the words hear the music
That I know will heal you

Up in the Hills

My last thoughts on your lady friend
Who greets the world just a little too thin
Watching people as they pass you by
If they tell you the truth then you know it’s a lie
Old friend just how the hell you been?
You sell your soul do you think it’s a sin?
Anyway I was passing by
I hoped to hang a bit & to get you high
I’ll come back later when you’re up to it
Call the doctor if you need the hit
When I leave you should lock the door
We don’t need that trouble here anymore
If you’re feeling down and you want to die
Take a walk and look to the sky
Check out the clouds that go rolling by
And be happy that you’re safe and you’re still alive
They want to kill you and they always will
They want to bury you up in the hills
If you’re lucky then they’ll kill you fast
If not I’m afraid they’re gonna make it last

Canary

Spy two canaries sitting in the sun
The first one ponderin’ a-lovin’ someone
Other was happy, nothing on its mind
Sometimes love can be hard to find
Two little black birds sitting on a fence
The first won born into affluence
The second one born with nothin’ but a song
Wonderin’ what did I do wrong
A bluebird lands taking in the scene
Claiming the whole world’s obscene
I watch her fly up into the sky
Never did get to ask her why
Friend to the padre, the oriole
Ask her if she will save your soul
If she says no then you’re bound to die
You might as well bow your head & cry

Curiosity
03:37
|

|
They say it killed the cat my friend
But I don’t care about that
I’ve always had this strange desire
To put my hand into the fire
I always say yes when I should say no
I go a-stompin’ where I shouldn’t go
And I never ever look before I leap
Before I know it, I’m in too deep
Curiosity killed the cat
But I don’t care about that
I need to know what’s behind the door
And if it’s trouble then I only want more
If there’s something I’m not suppose to know
It only makes my curiosity grow
I need to find out, I need to shoot the gun
I need to spy, I need to look at the sun
And if I’m a-wonderin’ what’s it all about
I won’t be happy ‘til I find out

When the Chips Are Down
04:10
|
|||
|
Every once in a while I pray so to speak
Getting’ me through every day of the week
Cause I’m sittin’ and a staring as the walls close in
In this prison cell I’ve been sent
Now I don’t see you coming around
When my luck’s run dry & when the chips are down
I’m a sittin’ and a thinkin’ about where I went wrong
Where the days never end and the night’s always long
The hard time can’t help but take it’s toll
As the devil takes aim at my soul

Spring Will Follow
02:43
|
|||
|
Seasons came & seasons went
For several moons showed full
Now seasons haunt & flex with strain
How could you be so cruel?
For forty days & forty nights
Sweet mother earth lay dead
Revived by words the first of May
What were those things you said?
Trapped in a dream for all this time
You’ve had no cause for sorrow
Now that you’ve lifted up the veil
Pain will always follow
We were lost up in the hills
Without food or water
The thirst was more than we could bear
But hunger caused the slaughter
|

Oh, the waves were fierce
And the winds were cross
Death was near all could be lost
This could be the end we realized
I turned to row when the boat capsized
The sun went down
And the winds blew cold
The fear we felt cannot be told
To see such men so lost at sea
Hear comes a wave to set us free
And though this tale ends in such woe
I would not trade this life I know
I’m a sailor now & I’ve always been
And to the sea I’ll return again
|
||||
12. |

|
I’m walking down the street
Under the pouring rain
Haunted by the guilt
I rack my brain ‘til I’m insane
And I wonder
Wonder, walking down the lane
Why that train won’t take me home
Sitting at the bar
Along the old & glowing signs
Thinkin’ bout the past
And how I ever was so blind to the lies
That were all in my mind
And why that train won’t take me home
Now I’m sitting at the curb
Just as drunk as I can be
Dirty, cold & hungry
Really nothing left to see
And I wonder
Wonder why she left me
And why that train won’t take me home

Time doesn’t help you sometimes you don’t heal
“Is this what you want?” Guess you don’t know the deal
I can’t relate to your ‘heaven on earth’
When I don’t know what you want
(Still guilty cause I just don’t know what you want)
But up in my tree house I’m helping myself
Our conversation it just didn’t help
Up in my tree house I’m never wrong
I’m always the winner but I always am alone
I tried to remember but couldn’t explain
The difference between the two sides was the same
I’ll try to remember what time that it was
When I had nothing more left to give

Oh captain sir, oh captain please
A gypsy I be born but a pirate I will be
Oh to loot and pillage, to burn & steal
To deal a blow the likes of which will never heal
When the treasures flow with jewels & gold
Who ya gonna keel haul when your secrets have been sold
And you could even lose your soul that way
Oh captain sir, oh captain please
Set the sails for France by the ocean’s study breeze
When the skies grow as dark as your fate be bound
When the seas are still and when you cannot hear a sound
When the sailors huddle on the deck below
Mutiny’s a brewin’, when there’s no where left to go
When you walk the plank to the cold, cold sea
Who ya gonna curse when the leader of the crew be me
And you could even lose your soul that way
Oh captain sir, oh captain please
A gypsy I be born but a pirate I will be
Oh to loot and pillage, to burn & steal
To deal a blow the likes of which will never heal
When the treasures flow with jewels & gold
Who ya gonna keel haul when your secrets have been sold
And you might even lose your mind that way

If one & one makes two
Then I’ll forgive those things that you do
And I’ll forgot those times
When all my thoughts seemed set to unwind
And when the jury is out on you
I will be there to help see you through
I was on my way back home
When I lost my way
Stumbled to your doorstep & you
Let me in with a sigh & a grin & said
“Kick off yer shoes & stay a while,
I’ll do my best to make you smile
We all walk the fine line
Between the truth & conspired lies”
We all walk a fine line…
If one & one makes three
Then I’ll suppose the joke was on me
And I’ll forget those crimes
Are all those treasons I always find
But the jury’s still out on you
And all those wicked things that you do
