Owl Feather
02:07
|
|||
On silent wing, a feather falls
Have I lost my way,
In the dark night of the owls call
Have I lost my way, or do my feet know so well,
The way the forest moves,
And eats itself, and eats itself

Shepherd Coming Home
02:58
|
|||
Mourning dove calls across red sand
As we heard sheep throughout unbroken, changing land
Dove flies high, Dove flies low,
Your held me close, And let me go
You're coming home, you're coming home
Into yourself, into your song
As it lets go, as it lets go
Out of your throat, into the open
Thoughts get swept up in undertow,
But down in washes, Tobacco grows
Juniper hills, they roll and flow
If you get lost, seek out the western sunsets glow
You're coming home, you're coming home
Into yourself, into your song
As it lets go, as it lets go
Out of your throat, into the open

Shadow
02:57
|

Shadow, shadow, can’t you see,
You’re soft and sweet you fuzzy peach
Shadow, Shadow, answer me
Is this how we will always be
Frozen in time,
On your couch,
My feet wanna leave,
but my heart cant get out
We’ve both held so much,
Of each others grief,
We don’t wanna inflict
what this parting could bring
But I can't love you like you need,
And you can't hold me and still grow free,
Id meet you in some in between,
Or cut the cord connecting me
Frozen in time,
On your couch,
My feet wanna leave,
but my heart cant get out
We’ve both held so much,
Of each others grief,
We don’t wanna inflict
what this parting could bring
But I know a long time from now,
we will still be kin somehow
Yes I know a long time from now,
we will still be kin somehow

Fire Keeper
03:21
|
|||
There's a black smoke rising in the west
Oak leaves fall without a sounds
Theres a gray fog swirling in our heads
As our homes are taken back into the ground
Who knows the answers
To the land that only wants a tending hand
Who knows the answers
To the people that forgot to touch the land
Who knows
Who will be the fires keepers
In times as dark as these
And who will wash over the ashes
When beneath them sleep the seeds
Who knows the answers
To the land that only wants a tending hand
Who knows the answers
To the people that forgot to touch the land
Who knows

This Fucking Town
03:25
|
|||
The heart wants love all to itself
The head it wants autonomy
Jealous lover, jealous lover,
Breaking whats inside of me
Get me out, get me out,
Of this little fucking town
Cuz I dont give a damn about you now,
And I dont give a damn about your sound
I dont give a damn about you now,
And I don’t give a damn about your crowd
Do I want them, do I love them
Can I stand another of them
I break down, I break down,
When I watch them fuck around
Get me out, Get me out,
Of this little fucking town
Cuz I dont give a damn about you now,
And I dont give a damn about your sound
I dont give a damn about you now,
And I don’t give a damn about your crowd
Did they want me, did they love me,
Did they just find comfort in me
Please don't touch, Please don’t touch
I think that I’ve had enough
Get me out, Get me out,
Of this little fucking town
Cuz I dont give a damn about you now,
And I dont give a damn about your sound
I dont give a damn about you now,
And I don’t give a damn about your crowd

Riverside
01:20
|
|||
I had a small bed on the floor we would sleep in
A blue quilt with flowers that we would make love beneath
On riverside street
Beneath,
On riverside street
And every single night the street light would shine in
You couldn't sleep
You’d get up, cover the window with a sheet,
On riverside street,
A sheet,
On riverside street,
The night that you left me,
We split a peach,
I moved my bed to the corner
And the streetlight I could not see
It took a year to realize
I could just move my bed three feet
Three feet you will never see

Half A Peach
01:58
|
|||
Before you said you couldn’t love me,
First you asked me, do you wanna split a peach?
Peach spit up inside my toilet bowl
But your blood still stains my quilt and stains my sheets
Do you remember when we slow danced
To the music of our friend that passed away
Do you remember when we held hands
To squeeze I love you every goddamn night and day
Three squeeze- I love you
Two- how much
One big one, this much
Three squeeze- I love you
Two- how much
One big one, this much
Do you remember when we first touched,
bellies full of whiskey, kale and birthday cake
Drunk in your lap up in the trailer park,
Your eyes were shy you had a warmth I could not shake
Three squeeze- I love you
Two- how much
One big one, this much
Three squeeze- I love you
Two- how much
One big one, this much

Cormorant
03:44

Black Magic
Of the ocean
Deep in nights unfolding arms
Black magic
Keeps me from slipping
Like the black cormorants
that fly of the edge
There sounds a hollow creak from the redwoods by the sea
The tides hang deep creatures in the gallows
In daytime she sleeps
In the belly of the beast
The moon that pulls the minnows to the shallows
Black Magic
Of the ocean
Deep in nights unfolding arms
Black magic
Keeps me from slipping
Like the black cormorants
that fly of the edge
Shadows of my heart, tell me true
Am I enough, enough for you
Shadows of my mind, tell me right
When will I see clearly like the ocean mirror's sky

Show Up

All I ever wanted
Was for you to show up
Didn't need it for forever
Couldn't even get that from my mother
Hey world, what gives
Hey love, you've still got your life to live
Ah ah ah ah ah
All I ever wanted
Was for you to show up
