Dancing With Regret
05:36
|
|||
Here we are hiding with our secret
Now we are dancing with the regret
Wishing we could change our past
Now we see that poets couldn't save us
Now we can tell the playwrights just delay us
Looking for the answer to the problem
I'm not worried about the sorrow
Cause I have hope in something different
I'm not worried about tomorrow
Cause I have hope in something real
Stop looking back now there's nothing we can do friend
I know it's hard but it takes time for the heart to mend
Wanting out of this great abyss of fear
There is a question and I know the answer
You're always talking of all the things that we were
Waiting for this life to help you out
But I'm not worried about the sorrow
Cause I have hope in something different
I'm not worried about tomorrow
Cause I have hope in something real
Don't try to hide for fear

Politicians
04:10

Everyone a politician
Searching for dirty recognition
Everyone a politician
Speaking loud with false ambition
You didnt want to tell another lie
You didn't want to break your promises
But you got selfish and gave it all away
You burned bridges and we found you in tour grave
Everyone a politician
Stealing time to never listen
Everyone a politician
Faking smiles and always kissin’
You didnt want to tell another lie
You didn't want to break your promises
But you got selfish and gave it all away
You burned bridges and we found you in tour grave
Upper class, middle class, sand falls through the hour glass
Now you're lower class, burning pages, wishing you could rewrite your past

Skeleton Hips
04:14
|

So drink your vodka and have your fun
You're not fooling anyone
You stumble all about the room
Regret won't set in very soon
So hold your breath and take a moment
And close your eyes to see what you want
He eyes you from across the way
Heart is set on obtaining his prey
So he holds you down and demands your lips
Grasping on to those skeleton hips
So hold your breath and take a moment
And close your eyes to see what you want
Now you're drunk and alone lyin' on the floor
Hurt pourin' from your heart that's oh so sore
And now he's gone cause he wants more
Now you're drunk and alone lyin' on the floor
There's hurt pourin' from heart that's oh so sore
Now he's gone cause he wants more
So hold your breath and take a moment
And close your eyes to see what you want

False Banquets
05:57
|

I am a nautical dreamer
I am a mountaintop wanderer
I am a ghost town explorer
I am a traveling preacher
My soul's submerged beneath the water
The bow is crashing on the glass
My worn hands cling to the coarse rope
The anchor clasps to the floor
I know I'm not far from home
Cause I'm not far from death
Yeah I know I'm not far from home
Cause I'm not far from death
My flesh is frozen in the snow drifts
The pines they whisper in the wind
My fingers stiffen in the winter
The clouds envelop me with weight
My feet are weary from the crossing
These buildings exhale hollow breath
My lungs are dark and filled with regret
This lifeless city always sleeps
But I know I'm not far from home
Cause I'm not far from death
Yeah I know I'm not far from home
Cause I'm not far from death
My spirit's meager from false e banquets
The taste is bitter on my tongue
My fire's slowly lost its fervor
But I can see revival brewing
Don't let the anchor hold you down
Harbor intimacy until the Wedding Feast

So My Soul
05:37
|
|||
As the pines dance in the wind
So my soul dances for you
As the lark sings her morning song
So my soul sings for you
As the night rests beneath the sun
So my soul rests in you
As the deer pants for the streams
So my soul pants for you
Soon I'll see you're glory
And soon I'll sing holy holy
As the peaks float in the clouds
So my soul floats in you
As the sea falls upon the shore
So my soul falls in you
As the stream flows through the earth
So my soul flows in You
As the palms stand by the sea
So my soul stands in You
Soon I'll see Your glory
Soon I'll sing holy holy
Creation groans for Your return
My soul yearns to dance with You again
Soon I'll see Your glory
Soon I'll sing holy holy

Aloha

Aloha Kona hello my friends
Aloha sunshine and summers that never end
Aloha moonlight and stars so bright
Aloha feelings Ali'i drive at night
Aloha high tides and waves so strong
Aloha car rides and ice cream by the cone
Aloha Uncle you've drank too much
Aloha friendship I can't thank you enough
Aloha new life we've found real joy
Aloha Spirit there's freedom found in love
Aloha mountains and low hung clouds
Aloha streetside music for the crowds
Aloha Kona goodbye my friends
Aloha ocean the way the palm tree bends
Aloha memories and time well spent
Aloha seasons I'm so glad I went

Another lonely night at the Lenexa Inn
Thinking I’m waiting for my story to begin
And that’s alright
That’s alright
I’m not drowning in my feelings
I’m not trapped inside my mind
I’m just staring at the ceiling
With an endless amount of time
And that’s alright
That’s alright
I shouldn't be alive
Oh it's a wonder I ever arrived
You can't just kill a pilgrim kid
I know it won’t write itself
I know what I have to do
It won’t teleport to the shelf
And the words may feel so few
But that’s alright
That’s alright
The Infection was dark and strong
On that slippery interstate
And it sang a feverish song
And that semi was driven by fate
But that’s alright
That’s alright
I shouldn't be alive
Oh it's a wonder I ever arrived
You can't just kill a pilgrim kid
Well I poured out my heart
On the drive down from Portland
And I told her about the start
Of the feelings I was holdin'
And that’s alright
That’s alright
She said she didn’t feel the same way
I told her that was fine
It must mean that glacier
Rainbow wasn’t a sign
And that’s alright
That’s alright
Driving the Pacific Highway 101
Come around a corner
By a boulder, I’m left undone
But that’s alright
That’s alright
I’m at the waterfront of the Rogue
Across the bridge from Gold Beach
I’m staring at the Oregon Coast
Thinking of the memories I’ll keep
And that’s alright
That’s alright
I shouldn't be alive
Oh it's a wonder I ever arrived
You can't just kill a pilgrim kid

Homesick
04:17
|

Taking chances, chasing fire
New romances, real desire
I can feel you, in my bones
I can hear you, creation groans
I know I’ll be there soon,
As sure as sun and moon
This world will never be,
enough to satisfy me
Foolish pure love, it's what you give
Cast out fear now, I might live
Take me with you, where you are
Sing with me love, you're near not far
I know I’ll be there soon,
As sure as sun and moon
This world will never be,
enough to satisfy me
All this wandering, all for you
All this suffering found what’s true
You've been here now, all along
I'm not cast down, weak made strong
Your yoke is easy, your burden is light
I know you see me, worthy in your sight

The palms and the pines
The fields and the sky
The light all around in the daytime
The stars in the night
Shadowed by moonlight
The bear the boy the wind and the ocean
I'm drowned in a river of this love
Surrounded by things I might discover
I'm not bound by the fear that condemns
But I'm free to dance with you forever
The doe and the fawn
Mother and child
A choice a life the difference doesn't matter
Widows and orphans
Looking for a husband, a father a protector
In the war time
I'm drowned in a river of this love
Surrounded by things I might discover
I'm not bound by the fear that condemns
But I'm free to dance with you forever
A road like a spine
Speckled center line
It curves and winds and twists through the mountains
The words on a truck
Your favor looks like luck
The sun the moon the clouds
it's all a symphony
Tell me you love me again

I'm a Gypsy
05:11
|
|||
Well I'm wandering down this barren road and I'm looking for a lighter load
To carry, not on my own
And I'm searchin' for an open door to rest my head on this hard wood floor and I'm lyin', not on my own
And oh I'm a gypsy
I'm a pilgrim
I'm a son
I'm a bride
Everything in the world is awake it's alive and wondering how and I'm asking why and I'm doubtin', not on my own
And the waves they crash and the waves they rise and I'm lookin' for a reason why to open, these blood shot eyes
And oh I'm a gypsy
I'm a pilgrim
I'm a son
I'm a bride
And I'm longing for my coming home where the tears are gone and I'm running towards Your arms, always open wide
And the sweet embrace of my Papa's heart and that tender smile tears me apart in the most, beautiful way
And it's a foolish love I can't understand that He'd lead me here that He'd take my hand and I'd know, I'm not on my own
Oh I'm a gypsy
I'm a pilgrim
I'm a son
I'm a bride
And the Wedding Feast it's near not far and I'm longing just to be where You are again, not on my own
And the marriage wine it's sweet not dry and I'll drink it up and I'll close my eyes just to see, I'm never alone
I'm a gypsy
I'm a pilgrim
I'm a son
I'm a bride
