Dream Hard 02:21
2.
I've been waiting for you all these years and your sweet language does satisfy my ears and your trying hard and you see yourself afar but in a place like this your self ain't who you are If the leaves don't fall they'll never grow back new to shed your skin is to change what you do and you ask yourself about how each days spent cause after all your life has come and went
3.
The soundtrack of an open mind open heart its a sound that fills the belly up and its rare to find you've been giving your whole life, giving favors and I am new to what is right i'm new to these shoes and I am watching you and I would learn from you The Branches of all the living children underneath you the blankets one by one, your hands are kept full You've spent your time in the rain, in the shine Roots underground you're here you're gone and I am watching you and I would learn from you You've been letting people in to the inside seen all seven types of sin among those around you you've had your days your nights and your afternoons A train car, a memory thats past the living elder and I am watching you and I will one day be you
4.
Your face kissed by candle light it's a sight I passed through summer to see red moon november does bring The old field, the oak tree. the rocks in between shallow river, dry reviene let it come between us let it in, let it in between hidden like the crows nest huddled like the green of wild leeks grass stains in the palms and woodsmoke in the hair ancestral comb the body with ones own electricity
5.
Red Rock 02:42
Red rock piled high, the shore line, there once was a time 1929, the boom of a copper mine, money flowed from the underground there once was a day, families had a way, a simple life under the stars a number of those towns, swelled before they drowned, lungs they filled with ice and snow a handful of this earth doesn't have much worth, so put it back where it does belong.
6.
Water Inside 03:09
You are my water inside, the ocean it's tide and the moon Here lies all rusted and aged, the oldest ancestors we know Closed eyes we're watching the wind we're reading the river that flows Like time we always will grow, yet bound by the quilt we are sewn Knees bent receptive and true, this notion this wave rolls onto Recess, vacationing days we carve we are digging we are made for each other for a purpose we are made
7.
Hammering all day in an Illinois quarry a simple leather glove worn shiny a pickaxe in my hand not a cloud in the sky thinking about my past, not a thing I would deny a working mans glove a chisel on the table if its a simple life you love for work you must be able open your eyes in the morning sky its cold and theres snow but a cotton shirt and a lambswool hat will keep you warm to the bone so grab your tools and your leather gloves your off for your train when you come home the'll be love children to give you hugs a working mans glove a chisel on the table if its a simple life you love for work you must be able
8.
Rock Song 01:26
9.
Set it down in words set it in your blood whatever you had heard I was wrong folding into life, folding palms bending at the knees and curled in a ball Sinister the light its in you too whatever's in this night i'll blame the moon both of your hands over your eyes cold leaks in the room as you lay down and cry Some way some how in some form to feel as though you've been made new Its the way how you know its come time you breathe less heavy when it snows and Im waiting for you to hear Shy gold like the sun morning is near 12 days more to go, the gifts untold Held the brightest eyes the smell of smoke
10.
The Snow 02:32
11.
You've got flower pollen in your heart and I am a bee Because sugar blood runs through you it runs through me I land on your pedals we breathe, we bend with the breeze I'm a rock and a tree you're a stream, washing us clean With your pollen you pass on your bloodline wherever you can and within my hand I spread it around You are lush as a lilly flower open You are my home, no more alone, I lay myself down
12.
Work Harder 03:18
They both want you home They both want you home Take what you will and let it alone Take what you will and let it alone Someone else will come along soon Someone will work harder than did you A heavier type of skin and a sad long face So let it be unjustice in this place Here they won't see you the same at all, would you let go of the reigns Set free to the clouds in the sky, free to the sky Never would the diving take so long Never would be stronger or more alone And resting in the backseat of the car A second hand old camera and a guitar The scent of a brand new nature under my nose A whipping harmony blows through my clothes
