Solace 02:29
Solace If you’ve come here for solace, dear people, come calmly. I cannot stop the rains. But I can bring to you handfuls of droplets like candy, morsels of hurricane. Each drop is a galaxy, a fish, and a serpent, a day’s work and an unborn child who knows that H2O is just a new word, and as all life, we live wild. And language, dear reader, is our hands in water, shaping current with dance. Meaning is the smile of a poor man’s daughter, a moment of elegance. So change the world. And be changed with it. For heaven often weeps. Know now you are eternal, shape-shifting in leaps and bounds.

More Than Angels Your smell is on me. It’s in my sheets. I want to know you, and you know me. I could be wrong yeah, it’s symmetry. But I know I won’t say that I love you. But I love you more than angels, More than strangers. I want to fold me between your needs. I want you to hold me, want you to tease. And one day, I’ll say that I love you. Because I love you more than angels, more than strangers. And I’ll say, Well hey Babe, I love you. Yeah I love you more than angels, more than strangers.

Ashley Virginia Ashley Virginia, you don’t have far to fall from the bottom, from the bottom where you are. You can cry in your ashes tonight. We’ll make things right in the morning. We’ll make things right. Ashley Virginia, you don’t have much to lose. Sex and booze - you got kicked to the curb again. You can cry in your ashes tonight. We’ll make things right in the morning. We’ll make things right. 2AM at the BP. You tried to sell me your body. And when I asked you if I could help you, you smiled awkwardly, you hid your teeth, you turned and walked away. Ashley Virginia, there’s a rose behind your eye, and it’s the thorn, the thorn that makes you cry. You can cry in your ashes tonight. We’ll make things right in the morning. So, close your eyes. You can cry in your ashes tonight. We’ll make things right in the morning. So, close your eyes. Ashley Virginia, close your eyes.

Curtain Call 03:44
Curtain Call I didn’t know it, You would be a fool. I didn’t show it. Oh you were so cool As you burned the way. I wasn’t humble. Is that some kind of joke? I courted trouble. Your life went up in smoke As you burned away. I go astray. I knew I could never be this way. I could not be grateful. And all I can recall Is burning in fire And drowning in alcohol. I couldn’t stop it. A train loose from the tracks. I tried to crash it. There was no turning back. So just burn the day. But I found my way. A grace came and lifted all the pain. And now I am so grateful. Still, I want it all. To be close beside you From now through the curtain call.

Stars and Sky and Love In the morning, I awake before the dawn. The house is quiet. I’m not alone. I’m breathing easy, and My family’s fast asleep. And I say, Thank you for the stars and sky and love. In the midday, I’m as busy as a bee. I’m engaged, and I’m an insect. But it all seems big to me. I build my castles, and I build them out of sand. And I say, Thank you for the stars and sky and love. In the afternoon, I jump into the race. We round the kids up, and We drive from place to place. It feels like bumper cars While people push and shove. And I say, Thank you for the stars and sky and love. In the evening, I’m in bed holding my wife. She is the only one With whom I’d spend my life. There’s curvy roads ahead, At least that’s what they say. But I say, Thank you for the stars and sky and love. The next morning, I’m awake and it’s still night. Drive with the top down, and The stars they are so bright. I see Orion in the crowded sky above. And I say, Thank you for the stars and sky and love.

Who in the World Just imagine we had the grain. And the power to make the water clean. Would we do it, or would we stake our claim? Line our pockets and try to dodge the blame? Just remember that when you want more, What on earth are we even fighting for? And who in the world will we even give it to? I see the evil on the screen. I hear the hate, the lies, the love for the obscene. When we’re locking kids in cages, we just can’t be good guys. It’s happening in stages right before our eyes. So, just remember that when you score, What on earth are we even fighting for? And who in the world will we even give it to? The roar of victory as markets soar. The half that own them are gaining more and more. The half don’t well they’re falling fast behind. Spoils to the riches, and fate she’s so unkind. So, just remember that when you’re at war, What on earth are we even fighting for? And who in the world will we even give it to? And just remember that there’s so much more On this earth we could be fighting for And there’s the whole world that we can give it to. So who in the world will we even give it to?

Reason 02:30
Reason Everything in life has a reason. Tell me if you think that’s true. It doesn’t say as much about life As it says about you. Could you believe me? Even though I broke your heart And made you bereave me? Would you want to even the score And try to deceive me? Don’t know if I’ve said it before, but All I really want is you. Everything in life has a season. Tell me if you think that’s true. I just keep falling through winter And then into blue. Can you forgive me? What can I go do in this life To make you forgive me? Will you be forever my wife And want to give me All I really want in this life because All I really want is you. Everything in life has a reason. Tell me if you think that’s true. It doesn’t say as much about life As it says about you.

Sit Beside You Wait for me, girl, I won’t be gone long. I’ve got to see the world And keep on writing songs about it. I know one day I’ll come back And you’ll be by my side. But I can’t tell if that’s a smile Or if you just rolled your eyes. I can’t wait on you, boy, While you sing your song. It’s been great, you bring me joy. I hate to see you be long gone. But I don’t know what’s down my road and the sky looks clear to me. I’d like to sit beside you for a while. You look great to me, girl. Man it’s been too long. And your date, he seems eager. But that’s not why I asked you to step Outside in the moonlight where I could speak close to you. But I just breathe, there’s no speaking. I don’t know what to do. It’s not too late, she said. And I wanted to cry. I still date, she said, But every night I dream about you. I don’t know what’s down my road But the sky looks clear to me. I’d like to sit beside you for a while. I don’t know how life will go But it seems clear to me. I’d like to sit beside you for a while.

Wake 03:51
Wake Wake today and tomorrow to be great and be gay, free from sorrow. The day to day can easily creep to sadness as my feelings grow deep. The floor it gets so suddenly steep. I’m alone. Falling ash around my bed. Where’s my stash? It’s in my head. It’s so fake today as tomorrow, and at stake is my faith in my sorrow. The day begins to lazily creep to sadness and my feelings so cheap. The floor is just so stubbornly steep. And I’m alone. Where’s the sun? It’s behind the door. Have I come undone? What’s in store? But wake today and tomorrow will be great and be gay, free from sorrow. Day to day will be counting sheep. Walk around in some kind of sleep. Looking for something to keep. Us alone.

My Head and My Heart I see you smiling at me. It warms my heart. I know that love and laughter are never far apart. So we head into the living room where we can laugh and play. And I’ll take this opportunity for you to hear me say, I’ll never be far, in my head and my heart from you. I’ve loved your mama now since she was just a girl. My companion through the seasons of the world. Now we live and laugh together, each and every day. And I’ll take this opportunity for her to hear me say, That I’ll never be far, in my head and my heart from you. The days go on about how time it never sleeps. It seems a year has passed as I kiss your cheek. I want you to grow older and strike out on your own. But I want you to remember that you always have a home. And I’ll never be far, in my head and my heart from you. No, we’ll never be far, in our heads and our hearts from you. The love in our hearts will never be far from you.
