Morning Phase
05:15
|

Wake up I'm gonna get my fill
Pour me a cup well you know in will
Make up my mind I'm on the verge
But I try so hard to let it slide so far over away from me
And in the end you'll find you give in this time the line is crossed
Light up pass it on this way
Drink up today is just another day
Pack up another one one more time around
Round up we'll have a good time
Give up your rights they are left behind
Pick up the mess that we leave and find

Wasted Time
03:45
|

Wastin' my day on you wasting my time on things old instead of new
I fell to the bottom & staggered back up I’ve had enough for now
The Rocks of time are eroding away my soul has been chipped from the bone
In dreams I see your embrace next to mine and I wake with tears welled up in my eyes
I stayed away for what seemed like a time then you broke down my door and crawled in
One by one you enter unwilling taking me down in one lonesome stride
For now I’ll stick to the methods I have persuasion is just an old trick
I made the decision to move on this time but the tracks in the mud will always stay wet

Hazy Nights
03:22
|

Through all the hazy nights and the lonely days
Through the lazy week, a snails pace
But then it comes along, knocks you to your feet
Where do you belong where do you agree
I will go out and find my way
May be a while but in the end it takes a day
When the seed has been sewn so low
Time slows down now you're all on your own
This time we can go and rule the streets
Ideas we can share from sea to sea you see
Play guitar all night under stars so bright
Walking home under the lonely moon what a pretty sight
When you live and you know that you are if you tried but you failed it can be so hard
The bridge can still be walked about a mile from the dock you can leave on a boat come home when you will

Shadows Of You And I
04:40
|

Went out one time in the dead of night
Didn’t come home til the sun was bright
Looked out a the lake in front of my eyes
Reflection of the trees they can tell no lie
And as I walk these trails like the back of my hand
Time lays still and I have no plan
Except to stay and listen to the whistling wind
And recall a time but I don’t know when
Well I’d rather be here than any city I know
In the peace and calm and the winter snow
In the summer in the shade with my head held high
I can tell by the shadow it’s just you and I
Looking at the path down below my feet
Finding my way through these evergreen trees
Where I will end up nobody may know
But I’ll find my way home through my tracks in the snow
On my face in the eve I can feel suns glow
At the end of the day nowhere else to go
So I'll sit on a rock and sing out a tune
And tell this story to my child one day very soon

You think we don’t belong the message comes along quite strong
But I believe that you are able think it through
You say you do no wrong but you're the one pointing the gun
Hands shaky on the wheel stay on course
When all your whining is done and the gold melts from your tongue
Maybe then can you be saved from what you seek
There’s nothing in the end there’s just dust and love and sin
All washed up together land and sea
All the riches of this world won't cover up your spoils
Cowards blinded by the gates of pearl
The selfish are not worthy they're the ones that like to hurry
And believe they stand before you in the light
All the stories as a child make believe they tame the wild
They hold us where they want us in their psalms
But late it is the hour put down your nail and hammer
Break the window stain the glass with real blood

Pouring Rain
04:05

Well it just started raining yea looks like it’s gonna pour
No I don’t feel like waiting I wanna see some more
When the thunder comes a rolling I can see the lightning just beyond the shore
Well the storm is where my home is I’ll get by on the chaos til I hit the floor
Well time please slow it down if I had the key I’d turn you back around
Summer day would be as long as the reach beyond the sun let’s hold all we have here and now
The hail came without warning lasted an hour til the cloud line broke
We're setting sail at daybreak we'll get by without words just oars
The fire started roaring and for once I could feel the smoke
And though my eyes were burning no I couldn’t keep em closed
So goodbye to the city in the evening I can hear you snore
I wanna go where no one else is take my time in a tree way up north
All I need is my family maybe a clock one that’s dead yea broke

The Trip
03:57
|

Are you ready pack up the bags come on hold steady
Are you coming to the forest we meet up might never come home
Bring a candle and a beer guide yourself there by the light of the moon
Well we gather over in the wood there's a spot on the hill
You may never come back and you know that's part of the deal
I can see the lights come from a mile
From a low lit path I can bear a smile
Then it turns on itself but it takes a while
Is this a dream or have I become viral
This is a calling to the ones out there unstill in their minds
Well come out now the night is young and the sky is red
Let it out all night back to world when the sun comes up
You and me and the world spins round
Gravity drags our bodies back down

Home At Last
03:53
|

It’s been a long day home at last
I’ll see you in the morning first light of the morning
When I wake up rain in my eyes
I blame it on the water from in front and behind
Well I know you wanna go
Before you do please tell me why
Run back to whatever you've been chasing
I'll see you when your back from on high
It’s been a long day home at last
I think about the things that have come to pass
So leave it all behind and keep a bad thing alone
Because a good thing is coming just up the hill from the storm
