Heron 03:58
I met you in a country town, all dreams Heading for a hilltop so you could see The long and unraveled way you go in tune Oh I remember, I remember well If you leave another home where will you go One’s a load to carry don’t you think so I tried across the water we’re already there Oh I remember, I remember well Love, I don’t know It makes me so sad to see you go The rocky roads are winding to nowhere Follow to the end I’ll see you there Lay your body down a little while Can’t you feel your feet are getting tired Heavy all around your ever-thinning shell Oh I remember, I remember well Love, I don’t know It makes me so sad to see you gone The rocky roads are winding to nowhere Follow to the end I’ll see you there Oh I remember, I remember well

Lovers, or maybe Will loving you ever come easy Showed me the way to a good thing Don’t let it sleep A faceless, silent sign A message from another time No plan, no plan It’s all that we can go by Babe, it’s your game Play or come and rescue me Love you don’t need I don’t have the nerve to compete Clear in the thought of an ending No end to see Babe, it’s your game Play or come and rescue me Lovers, or maybe Can’t you make loving go easy I wade a way through the days Babe, it’s your game Play, it’s your game

Hey city boy blue I have waited long for you Gone and never to return Biding time I quickly learned The desert sun is ever more cruel Than these blurry moons Seen all the things I’d been fearing Tired and worn eyes tearing And these roads of empty are to blame And you get me on my feet again Hey city night time I like the way your pretty lights shine Always thought I knew myself It turns out I’m somebody else You can have your chance I had denied you All this time Seen all the things I’d been fearing Tired and worn eyes tearing And these roads of empty are to blame And you get me on my feet again Holding me where I was reeling Tired worn eyes tearing River on the road Hey city boy blue I have waited so long for you And these roads of empty are to blame And you get me on my feet again You get me on my feet again

Esk 05:03
I’ve come alone to see away from us It’s easy when you’re far Dream to show you someday the ways around But here is only now Lord I feel so cruel today Lord if I could choose today You’d follow me to Esk Here’s a place for growing, no job for you No soul to tend to Call North wherever if fog surrounds I’d rather not be found Lord I feel so alone today Lord it hurts every bone today In the cool water of Esk Give a friend loving arms, all in kindness When you know they’ll let you down In never-ending love you don’t even mind it If I could be with you, see with you somehow Lord I did all I could today Oh but it’s still no good this way Goodbye Esk I wish you all the best

We were walking through our dreams And wrestling thoughts that would not leave And the days were long See the blue river flowing Softly where we’ll soon be going too If we make it through Flow, river flow In the safe and shallow water Children play until they’re older And fall to the sea Dark and strong the waves go on No one there to rescue or to hear Captured And swallowed Little smiles of wonder and starry eyes Swimming for sunlight low and high Mothers can’t you see you need to go now Let them search and find We were walking through our dreams And wrestling thoughts that would not leave And the days were long All these years to find our way All it take is one more day and it may be gone Seems wrong Slow, river slow

Give me little smiles and hope to feel Give me reason not to run Give me a raincoat and a story about the sun Thought I’d see the answer come to me From a distance all mine I could really use a friend to pass the time Daylight soothes my fear All I hold my heart and I owe Wild and cold you’re all that I know See me come around, my heart and I’ve grown I was waiting for a sign to come Cruel skies have seen a change in me No more waiting in the dark Taught me everything I know about a heart I brought more than I can carry Found some more along the way One I hold so dear All I hold my heart and I owe Wild and cold you’re all that I know See me come around, my heart and I’ve grown I was waiting for a sign to come Really thought I had it all with me Never needed anyone Just a raincoat and a story about the sun Daylight soothes my fear

Tuesday over the valley, stand Building a sane tall pride And when I have enough to lose I’ll find a way out of you I only mean to keep you closer Why look around the corner Maybe the timberline rover Was running out of ways to love Linger on in the world we found Building a ladder down I’ll try to memorize you Where the sky is the only blue She only meant to see it closer Why look around the corner And see a timberline rover Running out of ways to love

Shaky Ground 04:52
Silence as we close our eyes And lay on this shaky ground Who knows what falls over all the vows We live well above the clouds Eyes on the road, man Cool hands of solitude Trembled in the afternoon Now we helplessly dance with you Earth moves to your lazy tune Eyes on the road, man Only danger keeps me knowing You have me safe and keep that shake below Leaning on the great divide We stumble side by side Strangers to the little lies Lovers forever tied Eyes on the road, man Only danger keeps me knowing You have me safe and keep that shake below

Black Sail 06:08
June on the hill, come play your thrills Secrets there never revealed Black sail summer floats along surreal Clouds arise and hold you down Shadows scare you to the ground But black sail thunder makes not a sound Mama I’m on the grey mile Let the breeze go where she feels And pour the sea on me Friendly fire’s a rattled bone Bruised on a mountain stone But no one boards the black sail alone Gold ring finger in the light Eleven hours to prove his might This black sail runner won’t kiss me goodnight Mama I’m on the grey mile Let the breeze go where she feels And pour the sea on me Mama I’m on the grey mile Let the breeze go where she feels And pour the sea on me Seems a sorry way to be But a passer-by will never see The black sail moonlight and all that’s glowing

Tomorrow I will leave Time has come now, so long It was all in my head And out here it all seems so wrong When we say goodbye Don’t you cry no tears There’s nothing to worry about When we say goodbye If ever you come by I can’t pretend I’ll be the same I see so much of you in the world Got me fearing the light of day When we say goodbye Don’t you cry no tears There’s nothing to worry about When we say goodbye Oh you’re at me somehow Cause baby inside I’ve been hurting Now I may miss you But I will not be returning Tomorrow I will leave Do whatever you please So when the time runs out we’ll say Aren’t we glad we had today When we say goodbye Don’t you cry no tears There’s nothing to worry about Don’t you cry no tears
