High, Lonesome Road

On this high and lonesome road
I broke down and called it home
And I keep both my eyes on that road
You say “Everything is fine”
Frowning down into your wine
Taste like another bitter night
One too many one more time
You...
Get mad and throw your shoe at me
I walk out into the street
You’re drunk, and I hate everything
Sometimes I wish we never met
Tonight, I’m through with this
And I just need to take a ride
Up this high and lonesome road
Where I go to be alone
It’s just me and the moon in the night
On this high and lonesome road
I ain't ever going home
And l sleep on the porch of the sky
The moon is fox red
The sky is cornflower blue
A potholed gravel strand
But God what a view
I said everything would change,
But then I just stayed the same.
Oh well, I guess that I’m to blame.
And you were gone before I even came.
Up this high and lonesome road
I don’t want to be alone
But I made my own bed here I lie
On this high and lonesome road
I broke down and called it home
And I sleep on the porch of the sky
I’ve never been too great
At reading the signs
Must have crossed
A thousand dotted lines
Stars are crashing over
Balsam and pine
Seems just fine to me.
I’ll be alright.
On this high and lonesome road
Where I go to be alone
It’s just me and the moon tonight

Summertime

Oh the sun is rising
Through the mist o'er the Will-o'-the-wisp
Of the Banshee's wailing
For a friend long ago, long ago
Oh the town is mourning
For a future stolen away
I'm a lonely, leary, wasted son of a bitch
In a worn-down, weary, old mill town in the sticks
Makeup can't hide your crooked lines
A gruff voice is spelling out the signs
And if there ever was a dream out here it died
But summertime
Feels alright
It feels just fine
It feels alright
It's another "Going out of Business" sign
It's another freight train hauling ass down the line
Your boutique downtown is bound to die
'Cause Walmart's just Wallstreet without the tie
And the people look like they're about to cry
'Till they resign
To summertime
It feels just fine
Feels alright
Oh the mountains are calling
Calling me, I must go, I must go

Moonlight

Moonlight moonlight
Swing her on the crest
Soft kiss, sweetheart
Spilling happiness
(Will you) wander over
In your favorite dress
Fire burns in the rye
You’re perfect, you’re a mess
She’s singing
Swing me on the crest
In her favorite dress
Has it been so long?
Summer’s come and gone (and it’s gone)
Firefly, glow bright
Has it been so long?
Kiss her I might
Before the night done
(Will you) be here be here
When the summer’s gone?
Hiding, feelings
Like we’re still so young
She’s singing
Swing me on the crest
In her favorite dress
Has it been so long?
Summer’s come and gone (and it’s gone)
Walk into her room
Go in go in
Life is in full bloom
Go in go in
Summer...

Hymn of the Wild

In the deeps of time
In the deeps of time
There’ll be love in the ruins of a home
There’ll be peace and joy
There’ll be peace and joy
All the love that was promised at our birth
I want peace like a river
I want hope in my soul
I want you to know
You are forgiven
Even though, even though
Oh the birds will sing
O’er the world turned green
And made new by the choices that we make
Oh the Earth will spring
With water cool and clean
And the winds that blow will carry us to sing
And we will sing
I want peace like a river
I want hope in my soul
I want you to know
You are forgiven
Even though, even though
Brother Bluebird flies
In Carolina skies
And he sings above the ruins of our home

Until We Say Goodbye

Summer days begin
With a song on the wind
And I kick off my shoes outside
With my feet in the sand
Where the ocean meets the land
I am shaking off those winter blues
There’s a storm passing by
But you pay it no mind
You keep playing in the rising tide
And it’s all I can do
To not run up and kiss you
But I keep all those thoughts inside
A stone is thrown into the sea
Angles left then out of reach
… To be alone
Well these days they become our life
With all their joys and strife
We’re in love with everyone
Until we say goodbye
Summer nights begin
With a few of our friends
And we dance 'round a fire so bright
Fall in love once again
As the stars start to spin
She sings a lullaby as ships float in
The moon is rising o'er the sea
Getting late but stay with me
…You don't have to be alone
Well these days they become our life
As the nights bend out of sight
We’re in love with everyone
Until we say goodbye
We’re all passing out on the beach
Stars still just a bit out of reach
You’re in love with everyone
But you curl up next to me
