A knot of sparrows on a summer breeze
Cut like a river through the evergreens
Under safety of a wild northern sky
They came upon a field, a yellow sea
Where black eyed susans and the foxes sleep
All surrounded by blackberry and thyme
Rambling through the hills you should follow the brook
You’ll find us if you look
‘Cause we went up where the gardens grow
Where the fire’s high when we’re feeling low
Settle down easy, breathe in
An evening rain or the morning dew
It’s just a shower of light that’s falling over you
In the valley we’re taking
All the heat of the sun
A pair of ravens calling one, two, three
For lack of home or a conspiracy
Keeping watch over the meadows and mice
Who scurry about and hope that no one sees
Their camouflage beneath the fallen leaves
Captivating — the struggle for life
Rambling through the hills you should follow the brook
You’ll find us if you look
‘Cause we went up where the gardens grow
Where the fire’s high when we’re feeling low
Settle down easy, breathe in
An evening rain or the morning dew
It’s just a shower of light that’s falling over you
In the valley we’re taking
All the heat of the sun

With The Morning

Do you sit alone when the night comes around?
When heaven and earth just keep spinning you down?
And leave you listening to the sound
Of cicadas and voices that pierce the dark
Awake with a dream and a life yet to start
With how it all feels just a little far
But I will carry you
It’s a long way home tonight
I will carry you
It’s a long way home tonight
The cross is bending
Midnight is passing
May some peace come with the morning
I can see how the walls that you built caved in
From everything storming around here instead
Muddy waters rushing to the end
But I will carry you
It’s a long way home tonight
I will carry you
It’s a long way home tonight
The cross is bending
Midnight is passing
May some peace come with the morning

Down The Shore

This town is dead
No storefronts, instead
Boarded windows along 5th and Main
Where the theater once stood
Just rubble and soot
Tired faces reflecting the change
An envelope tears
At the notice he stares
It announces the third shift is closed
When the factory’s been razed
Three hundred bills to be paid
And the mayor just ran unopposed
In newspapers read about plasticine dreams
Search for a while, ain’t no looking glass smile
On the suit and the tie with his focus-group lie
That pleads, “follow me”, but I’m packing my things
I’m down the shore
I’m down the shore
I’m down the shore
Shoulda been here before
The wind and the sea always calling to me
I’m down the shore
The seasons will change
To snow and then rain
As she waits for a knock at the door
“There were pills by the bed”
The policemen they said,
“Ma’am I’m sorry, he ain’t with us no more”
In newspapers read about plasticine dreams
Search for a while, ain’t no looking glass smile
On the suit and the tie with his focus-group lie
That pleads, “follow me”, but I’m packing my things
I’m down the shore
I’m down the shore
I’m down the shore
Shoulda been here before
The wind and the sea always calling to me
I’m down the shore

Brother, why you call me a stranger?
Brother, are you struggling to see?
Yeah, Brother
Take a look at all these crying eyes around us
They’re crying out to be free
We gotta let love
Roll down like water
Roll down to the sea
We gotta let love
Roll down like water
Like an ever-flowing stream
Brother, feel the temperature is rising hot
Brother, hear the footsteps in the streets
Yeah, Brother
Listen to the voices calling all around us
They’re calling out to be free
We gotta let love
Roll down like water
Roll down to the sea
We gotta let love
Roll down like water
Like an ever-flowing stream
Like an ever-flowing stream
Like an ever-flowing stream
Let it roll to the sea

Saved a picture of you in that dress and heels
On the wall, now I sit and stare as the paper peels
And your old grey coat’s on the corner of the bed
Got a fifth of bourbon that’s been rushing through my head since you left me
Since you left me
Do you ever get drunk at night?
Do you ever refuse to fight?
When all the memories seem so real
Do you think that you’re strong enough to heal?
‘Cause maybe I’m not, maybe I'm not
I remember being young enough to dare
And dance our way, moving through that cool September air
And we talked all night, never wondering where we’d be
When I’d step right on over that line that you laid down in front of me
Right in front of me
Do you ever get drunk at night?
Do you ever refuse to fight?
When all the memories seem so real
Do you think that you’re strong enough to heal?
‘Cause maybe I’m not, maybe I’m not
Sifting through the words that you won’t hear
I write ‘em down but on paper they all look so insincere
Do you ever get drunk at night?
Do you ever refuse to fight?
When all the memories seem so real
Do you think that you’re strong enough to heal?

Take Me Out

When every day that comes just feels the same
Like a stack of magazines sitting outside in the rain
The pressure tends to ebb and it tends to flow
It sometimes leaves me overwhelmed, and other times lets me go
And now my hands unsteady, and no relief in tears
But if you want I will be here
Take me down, take me out
To all the places that we talk about, and if you
Take me down, take me out
I’ll be the last to know what this was all about
When every day that comes just might explode
Like a match to gasoline, better watch out if it blows
I’m looking for some patience to abide
The bitter taste of anxiety, it hasn’t come yet no but still I’m trying
And now my chest is heavy, weighed down by fear
But if you want I will be here
Take me down, take me out
To all the places that we talk about, and if you
Take me down, take me out
I’ll be the last to know what this was all about
Paralyzed as though crushed, constricted, restrained
Christ, will the night be ending today?
Awake in this bed, all alone in my head
Repeating words over and over again
Take me down, take me out
To all the places that we talk about, and if you
Take me down, take me out
I’ll be the last to know what this was all about
