Gibson Moon 03:25
The nighttime owls they seem to stare As you tiptoe down the creaking stairs ‘Cause they know what’s up You smile at the world’s most deafening door The screen door mimics a fighter jet’s roar But you take off The thrill is alive No suffer, no sighs As your naked feet pound on the pavement below You gaze at the moon And sing her a tune She smiles at you as if she wants to say Hello, good night You’ve made it this far I’ll shine brightly for you So you make it through As long as I’ve got the moon I’ll always see I’ll always dream You’ve done it, you’ve made it, you’ve crossed the tide Now the past is behind you, you’ll be alright Give it all you’ve got You never meant to stay out all night But the laughs and the good vibes they took you ‘til dawn So you missed the sun The thrill is alive No suffer, no sighs As your naked feet pound on the pavement below You gaze at the moon And sing her a tune She smiles at you as if she wants to say Hello, good night You’ve made it this far I’ll shine brightly for you So you make it through As long as I’ve got the moon I’ll always see I’ll always dream And I wonder How many stars it would take to fill this canvas Wonder Would they really be enough to cover up this darkness As long as I’ve got the moon I’ll always see I’ll always dream

You be my Robert Frost And you my Emily Dickinson I won’t let them shut you out And I won’t let them shut you in Where do we begin You think in six and seven and eight and I abide in ten If we get this right Then we won’t have to stop for death by fire or by ice Beautiful words You write beautiful words You’re like beautiful words to me Beautiful words You breathe beautiful words You mean beautiful words to me I’ll be Burns And I’ll be Browning Counting all the ways It can wait ‘til the morning How do I love thee Better than I love my home, more than poetry What have we become Our best laid plans are prey to chance between a finger and a thumb Beautiful words You write beautiful words You’re like beautiful words to me Beautiful words You breathe beautiful words You mean beautiful words to me I can’t begin to count the times I’ve lost at life to win at rhymes We spend hours and days in a technical haze And we still don’t write what we want to say ‘Cause the essence of you and the essence of me Is its own strong kind of poetry The perfection we seek is a crippling myth And the truth of the matter distills down to this Your knuckles turn white as they strangle the pen Chasing a muse who deserts you and then Back in your flesh and your blood again The promise of paper seems fickle It fades into bitterness Darling these halcyon days Are too precious to waste on newspaper praise Love doesn’t give a damn about art Love sees you sharing a heart full of Beautiful words You write beautiful words You’re like beautiful words to me Beautiful words You breathe beautiful words You mean beautiful words to me

New England 04:16
I’m going out East to visit some friends Who I haven’t seen in God knows when We’re all running short on our time to pretend And I won’t get this chance again All of these roads I have taken before They end in a cliff or they end at a door And it won’t be easy to leave you alone But when the storms fall in New England I’ll be on my way home In the depths of the winter when my heart nearly froze I got to thinking about the homes that we chose And the fault is all ours that we’re sealed by the snows So I’m riding this wind while it blows All of these roads I have taken before They end in a cliff or they end at a door And it won’t be easy to leave you alone But when the storms fall in New England I’ll be on my way home These windows, these windows, I can’t keep ‘em clean They haven’t been rolled up since I turned sixteen And the wind hears me shouting God save the queen And I hope to God that God knows what I mean All of these roads I have taken before They end in a cliff or they end at a door And it won’t be easy to leave you alone But when the storms fall in New England I’ll be on my way home When the storms fall in New England I’ll be on my way When the storms fall in New England I’ll be on my way home

Not the One 03:28
The days come and go when we’re together And I know you’re waiting strong when we’re worlds apart Now every time, now every time you go, I start to wonder If we’ll be strong enough But with your head on my shoulder I’m not looking over mine And when you’re away I do it all the time Like something’s about to change Like I wake up alone one day and the dream that you loved me is gone And I’m not the one I’m not the one I’m not the one I’m not the one The days have all gone when love lasted Sixty-seven years past the war when it started In my grandmother’s, in my grandfather’s time, he punched holes through the wall But they were strong enough to hold, they were strong enough And with your head on my shoulder I’m not looking over mine And when you’re away, I do it all the time Like something’s about to change Like I wake up alone one day and the dream that you loved me is gone And I’m not the one I’m not the one I’m not the one I’m not the one I’m not the one I’m not the one I’m not the one I’m not the one With your head on my shoulder I’m not looking over mine And when you’re away, I do it all the time Like something’s about to change Like I wake up alone one day and the dream that you loved me is gone And I’m not the one I’m not the one I’m not the one I’m not the one I’m not the one I’m not the one I’m not the one I’m not the one

Welcome to the nonsense song Follow breadcrumbs to candy And learn how not to trust, the fire’s just a warming light Leading you to bust your head open On all the rules and facts, what are these careful tracks we’ve laid Ever think that being a human demands a little bit too much Maybe it’s all nonsense, who’s to say they’re not all lying The ones who’ll tell you anything to make you believe in love What do they know Little do they know Only lips of red Skin white as snow I’ll piece together you into some memory I can use Before love fades and leaves me hollow To make me strong enough to follow tragedy like this And know not all of life is made of sorrow We cry until we crawl, we crawl until we hurt And as we walk, they bring us down just voices trying to be heard Don’t you know they’re all pretend, all part of a nonsense song But you I wanted real even if you were only snow in summer Snow in summer Let it snow in summer, and last through December As across the world I go, I’ll still be remembering when we were first there together And I wish you’d met me first, and I wish you’d made it last And I’ll never be satisfied until I’m gone into my grave Where I’ll be reaching on and on to touch those living still beyond My small existence, make me huge, make me greater than I am Let it snow in summer, and last through December As across the world I go, I’ll still be remembering when we were first there together And I wish you’d met me first, and I wish you’d made it last And I’ll never be satisfied until I’m gone into my grave Where I’ll be reaching on and on to touch those living still beyond My small existence, make me huge, make me greater than I am Because I’ll always remember all of you But I’d best be sure I’ll be remembered Perhaps if we don’t sleep We won’t wake until tomorrow

Stolen Land 04:58
A long time ago the asphalt rain Fell on these fields and flooded the plains Left one big river to chart the terrain And deep in the earth a spirit cries For someone still living to recognize How soft the fanfare when a nation dies Gone are the five and dimes Gone are the grifters, rosemary and thyme Gone are the workers, but their pyramids Still stand On stolen land Stolen land They say you’re wicked and I believe ‘Cause I’ve seen you laugh when you might have grieved Under the weight of your destiny And all Iowa boys and Nebraska girls Feel the smoke and the noise of their shrinking worlds You face the future with cracked lips curled Gone are the five and dimes Gone are the grifters, rosemary and thyme Gone are the workers, but their pyramids Still stand On stolen land Stolen land Don’t need no one to show you the way Don’t need no one to show you the way Don’t need no one to show you the way Don’t need no one No one Gone are the five and dimes Gone are the grifters, rosemary and thyme Gone are the workers, but their pyramids Still stand Gone are the five and dimes Gone are the grifters, rosemary and thyme Gone are the workers, but their pyramids Still stand On stolen land Stolen land Stolen land Stolen land

On the Vine 02:48
Staring into the dark backwards And I know it cannot be contained Tomorrow’s coming on like a tempest Another day of pounding rain Pooling up in circles on my brain All this time My better love’s been dying on the vine And when I think of it It kills me yeah it cuts me to the quick Spent a long old time on the highway When it was most important to be home Scrambling for destinations That I never would have picked if I’d just known Just because you’re gone don’t mean you're grown All this time My better love’s been dying on the vine And when I think of it It kills me yeah it cuts me to the quick All this time My better love’s been dying on the vine And when I think of it It kills me yeah it cuts me to the quick Oh be quick with your cautious steps And slow with your falling in love No one can be trusted as long as you don’t trust no one Pain ain’t nothing to be ashamed of And words are not enough All this time My better love’s been dying on the vine And when I think of it It kills me yeah it cuts me to the quick All this time Trying to complete a perfect rhyme When you and I Wordlessly complete more than I’d ever hoped to find

Carsick 03:58
I’ve been carsick for a while now And I don’t go for the pills I want the world to be still We’ve been drifting, counting miles now Your hands soft on the wheel While I grip the windowsill I need a break Or I’ll be gone, long gone by the time you hear this song And when the car breaks down you won’t know what went wrong I’ll be gone, long gone and if you find the road that I’m on You can drive it all you want for all I care, ‘cause I’ll be gone, long gone All these exits pass the window You saw it too late You’d rather wait But I’m sick of reading, daydreaming The world is beautiful now I won’t let it burn down Or I’ll be gone, long gone by the time you hear this song And when the car breaks down you won’t know what went wrong I’ll be gone, long gone and if you find the road that I’m on You can drive it all you want for all I care, ‘cause I’ll be gone, long gone Bend my thumb way back when the cold wind blows And the stars give way to rain I see clear enough from below and above All the ways to break away Always I’ll be gone, long gone from the shadows into the sun And when you see me leaving, you’ll be grieving just for one Gone, long gone, that’s how you’ll write me into your songs But nothing tastes the same without your name upon my tongue

Who could tell That from bitter fault We’d grow so well From last summer’s salt Doesn’t matter what came before The scars won’t hurt us anymore Won’t recall soon anyhow ‘Cause we’re stronger now When the leaves fall On this autumn town No winter wind Will blow us down Doesn’t matter what came before The scars won’t hurt us anymore Won’t recall soon anyhow ‘Cause we’re stronger now Sweet lies can open our hearts to sin To never be true to friends Yet let us be on our way I’d rather be cold and dead Than dwelling on what’s been said When a better path lies ahead When the leaves fall On this autumn town No winter wind Will blow us down Doesn’t matter what came before The scars won’t hurt us anymore Won’t recall soon anyhow ‘Cause we’re stronger now Oh, I do Oh, I do now
