May you return with the spirit upon you
Winds of The West in your hair
Your eyes filled with the gilded sunset
Fall breeze in the air
Tumbling down into the canyons
Yellow gold and evergreen
May the joy that you find there
Mix with the sorrow that you've seen
Tear your hear from the darkened lowlads
Climb into the mountains arms
Desperate lungs burning with longing
Go and do what must be done

Have I always been here
Or is this something new?
It all feels so familiar
When I'm lying next to you
Have I always been here
Standing in the rain
Waiting at your doorstep
Some things they never change
Season after season, year after year
Storm clouds gather, and then they disappear
And it feel like the last time, every time it comes around
So open up my eyes
When you're coming back to town
How long have I slept here
Lying in your arms
Where time is but a memory
And yesterday is gone
Where now do I go to
Tell me where is my home
Now the love that surrounds me
Has made itself known?

Someday

Well I wake up every morning
Just like a broken record
The same old song turning round and round
Put the needle to the groove
And I try to find my shoes
And walk until the sun is going down
The dog down at the corner
Thinks he has my number
Everyday is gonna be his day
But I don't think he wonders
Why its all repeating
No he just enjoys the chase either way
Yes he just enjoys the chase every day
But someday
The clouds are gonna break
And I think the sun might come crashing down
Yeah someday
My fevers gonna break
And I'll wave goodbye as I lay my grieving down
I hear cars up on the highway
And babies being born
Mockingbirds are making up a song
And I sing along beneath them
though the tune it doesn't change
It helps to move the time along

Lifted

Winter has lived here too long
Life frozen in the stream
The fire I built to keep me warm
Is ashen memory
Theres a hawk in the sky
Riding the wind
Blood on his tail, death in his eyes
He reminds me of my friends
Lifted on feathered dreams
We rise
Lay my hand down on the map
Trace the lines into my palm
San Francisco, Birmingham
I have chased this ghost too long
I'm learning to forgive myself
I'm learning how to love
It won't come from anyone else
It does not come down from above

Life Comes At You Fast
03:48
|

|
Its funny how life comes at you fast
If you close your eyes for a moment
The moment will pass
Running like a river through your dreams
Down into the ocean
Where nothing is as it seems
And you watch the seasons change
Listen to the rain
See the wind thats tied up in the tree
And you know just how it feels
Wishing you were free
How swiftly tears begin to fall
When the stories you have believed in
Are lies after all
So you pick up what you can
Cry a little longer
And start again

Alternative literate country against the backdrop of the US war in Iraq, too many mid-tempo songs but a fine collection, and "Good News" reminds me of A&M period Phil Ochs, the late & great.
