Sugar From The Tree 03:15
lyrics
buy track
I’ve been gone so long now Not sure where I’ve been It was a long way around I can’t remember now It's been a long, long day Will the sun come back again Where do you think I have been I’ve been gone a long time One day I will melt into this big bad world One day I will be sugar from the tree I used to laugh at the outlaws I wondered why they strayed But sometimes I choose to listen to them anyway It's been a long long day The sun was heading down again Wonder where I’ve been I’ve been gone a long time One day I will melt into this big bad world One day I will be sugar from the tree I’ve traveled down some long roads There never was just one Dangerous turns they get hidden by the sun The path seems long But the end is sudden There has to be another place for us to run One day I will melt into this big bad world One day I will be sugar from the tree

What Can You Do For Me 02:54
lyrics

I see a fish with his mouth wide open He’s swimming away What can you do for me What can you do for me I see a bird flying south for the winter It’s way too cold up here What can you do for me What can you do for me I stay as close as I can To my distant past I used to say it would last Don’t do that anymore I see a fox near the hen house I see his eyes smile What can you do for me What can you do for me I stay as close as I can To my distant past I used to say it would last Don’t do that anymore I see a fish with his mouth wide open He’s swimming away What can you do for me What can you do for me I see a bull in the store on the corner He’s picking out plates What can you do for me What can you do What can you do for me What can you do for me What can you do for me What can you do

Nothing Like That 03:29
lyrics
buy track
I never did see Nothing like that I never did dream Nothing like that I imagined all the trees could see And the sun could move And the moon would slide Into a place to wait for eternity I never did say Nothing like that I never could hear Nothing like that I made an excuse that the world could arrange For my mood to change And not just wonder How to wait for eternity It’s all just brave talk It’s all such strange talk It’s not even straight talk And we’ll forget it all I wanted to see Something like that I wanted to know Something like that How I can grow and let it all go Like the wind and the years that are moving along To a place that we call eternity I may never feel Nothing like that Never as real Nothing like that I imagine all the trees can see And the sun can move And the moon will slide Into the place where we’ll spend eternity I imagine all the trees can see And the sun will move And the moon will slide Into the place where we’ll spend eternity

The Years Fall Down 02:44
lyrics
buy track
There he is now Up the purple hill Time will eat you up The years will take your crown Wind blows his hat I walk in step The years fall down Mash you flat It’s all so quiet But in my eyes He’s still walking by He keeps walking by A poet’s fuss A valiant touch Time will eat you up The years will take your crown The empty boat Flag flies at the bow The years fall down Mash you flat It’s all so quiet But in my eyes He’s still walking by He keeps walking by It’s all so quiet But in my eyes He’s still walking by He keeps walking by

The Feelings Don't Change 03:33
lyrics

At the top of the stairs is that small broken window I see its’ light here from the street And I know You are sitting there In the light or the darkness The feelings don’t change And your window from this corner Looks so different these days I remember that picture That you put by the bed I’d rather imagine us In real life instead I can see the day we took it When we put it in the frame In the light or the darkness My feelings don’t change It’s blinding my eyes Can I say I am sorry If I can find the right words Will it all be alright There’s a book on your bookshelf We laughed about buying Too broken to open Too expensive to try In the light or the darkness The feelings don’t change And your window from this corner Looks so different these days It’s blinding my eyes Can I say I am sorry If I can find the right words Will it all be alright At the top of your stairs I see the small broken window I see its’ light here from the street And I know You are sitting there In the light or the darkness The feelings don’t change And the window from this corner Looks so different these days

Afraid 01:48
lyrics
buy track
Afraid of trying Of breaking through Afraid of dying Afraid of you No direction No cutting through Afraid of rushing What isn’t due It’s always worse when it's viewed up close It’s always better if you just don’t know Afraid of lying Of telling truths Afraid of dying Afraid of you Want to cry Want to tell a secret Need some courage Need to learn to lie Never saw it coming Never caught my ear Didn’t want to laugh Seemed so insincere It’s always worse when it's viewed up close It’s always better if you just don’t know Afraid of trying Of breaking through Afraid of dying Afraid of you

Back in the Day 02:58
lyrics
buy track
Wish I’d been born When the Santa Fe rattled Through the flatlands and grasslands And the buffalo still had time Wish I had lived When the blacksmith mattered A hammer and an anvil Into the red orange void What a song I could have made If I had only lived Back in the day Wish I had traveled The El Paso Road Wagon trains one horse towns Westward Ho Wish my good fortune Was pulled from the gold rush Panning those rivers For money that’ll make you blush What a song I could have made If I had only lived Back in the day But here I am I see ice on the ocean Fog in the morning And a new moon at night I look out my window I’m that light in the snow storm With a place for my dreams And a place to stay warm What a song I can make If only I live Like today is the day What a song I can make If only I live Like today is the day

Canso, NS 03:30
lyrics
buy track
Canso I didn’t know you So many fish in the sea The telegraph down by the ocean Had a message for me Canso Nova Scotia I learned how you’d been hurting Like the fish in the sea And some people like me But I’m late to the party And the blue water The sounds of revival The songs in the wind I’m late to the party With the sons and the daughters The hearty and the hopeful And all the people who dream About starting again You never give up Dreams give nothing away Things you believe to be true On the darkest of days When the gale winds are blowing And they follow you home You can barely hang on to the lines And you’re sailing alone (don’t be ) Late to the party And the blue water The sounds of revival The songs in the wind I’m late to the party With the sons and the daughters The hearty and the hopeful And all the people who dream About starting again Canso I think I know you And all those fish in the sea The telegraph down by the ocean Had a message for me Canso Nova Scotia I learned how you’re healing With the fish in the sea And even people like me I was late to the party And the blue water The sounds of revival The songs in the wind I’m late to the party With the sons and the daughters The hearty and the hopeful And all the people who dream About starting again Starting again

Little Boat 03:31

I’ve got a little boat I’ve got a little boat I’ve got a little boat and I’m on top of the world I’ve got a little boat I’ve got a little boat I’ve got a little boat and I’m on top of the world When the trees all choose to look down on me I hold my head up high I hold it high When the wind blows fast past my looking glass I let it go by Let it go right by I’ve got a little boat I’ve got a little boat I’ve got a little boat and I’m on top of the world I’ve got a little boat I’ve got a little boat I’ve got a little boat and I’m on top of the world When the room gets empty And the walls so tall My voice gets small I feel so small When the meadow is filled with rocks and stones I leave them alone Leave them alone I’ve got a little boat I’ve got a little boat I’ve got a little boat and I’m on top of the world I’ve got a little boat I’ve got a little boat I’ve got a little boat and I’m on top of the world When I don’t know what is coming next I close my eyes Close my eyes The darkness lets me be surprised Not analyzed Not compromised I’ve got a little boat I’ve got a little boat I’ve got a little boat and I’m on top of the world I’ve got a little boat I’ve got a little boat I’ve got a little boat and I’m on top of the world The sun can hide on the longest day I hold my place Remain in place The cold will sometimes comfort me But it’s a strange embrace And I pick up my pace I’ve got a little boat I’ve got a little boat I’ve got a little boat and I’m on top of the world I’ve got a little boat I’ve got a little boat I’ve got a little boat and I’m on top of the world I’ve got a little boat I’ve got a little boat I’ve got a little boat and I’m on top of the world I’ve got a little boat I’ve got a little boat I’ve got a little boat and I’m on top of the world
