Stubborn Lover

I feel my branches move
you are shaking my tree
but I will not leave.
Like a wave on the sea
you roll under me but
my anchor is deep.
A rigid one i've come to be
folding my arms while you try to sing.
Oh my stubborn lover believe.
That your burden will set me free.
Reach out your arms dance with me in the dark
Press your body to mine you know we will be fine.
Like a carpenter's tool
you are whittling at me
but I am slow to believe.
That you're my burnishing stone
smoothing the cracks
I have made in our home.
A rigid one I've come to be
folding my arms while you try to sing.
Oh my stubborn lover believe.
That your burden will set me free.
Reach out your arms dance with me in the dark
Press your body to mine you know we will be fine.

I look to the blue
and the red desert sky
as the sun sets down
in the corner of your eyes.
As we drive through the fading light.
Me with you and you by my side.
With your feet on the dash
you turn and look at me.
The wind in your hair
and the sun on your cheeks.
You ask "whats the plan
how long will it be.
I'm felling tired and I could use some sleep."
Maybe we'll see lights
of some small town.
Like a ship on the sea
looking for a lighthouse.
I might be the place we could settle down
or it might be the place you burn on out.
I've never been down this road before.
So how should I know where it goes?
It's been a long time since I've seen a sign
All I know
Is I am driving through the night.
God only knows where this road ends
I know where we started
I know where we began.
In the passenger seat a photograph
a little girl and her daddy laugh.
I've never been down this road before.
So how should I know where it goes?
It's been a long time since I've seen a sign
All I know
Is I am driving through the night.

Dori you are chatting to the people around your table
a table in a cafe where you sit alone.
You're grabbing for attention.
Did they hear you mention you're designing clothes
and dresses for the stars
Every other day you come to this cafe
you're talking to the servers
talking your day away.
Spinning lies to anyone
let them think you're someone
someone to be loved and not alone today.
Dori don't you sit around that table to long
the boss man will come and ask you to move it along.
Those people like to talk politely to you
but in the back they call you crazy as a loon.
Cause every other day you come to this cafe
you're talking to the servers
talking your day away.
Spinning lies to anyone
let them think you're someone
someone to be loved and not alone today.
can you hear my voice
can you hear my voice
can you hear my voice
and it's undertone.
Singing I don't want to be alone
Singing I don't want to be alone

Garden World

Lazy bones awake from your sleep
there's no time for dreams
a monster's coming
and we have to go.
I know you don't believe me
but I saw our mother crying
when our father said,
"They're coming for our home."
"Don't be afraid"
Is what you say.
"Mom and Dad will never lose our home."
"Lay down your worried head
and tell me one of your stories.
Everything will be okay in the
morning."
Sister I know the way to the Garden World
Where you and I can run if those monsters should come.
Sister I know the way to the Garden World
Where our family can go if we should lose our home.
I heard the train out my window
Saw its track on the living room floor
I have always been a paranoid young boy
The officials say it's too early to tell
but I can tell they're lying.
I hear that train and it's coming for our door.
"Don't be afraid"
Is what you say.
"Mom and Dad will never lose our home."
Sister I know the way to the Garden World
Where you and I can run if those monsters should come.
Sister I know the way to the Garden World
Where our family can go if we should lose our home.
Sister I know the way
Sister I know the way
Sister I know the way

Burn Baby Burn
05:21

Sitting on a red gas can
I'm flipping matches in my hand.
Thinking about starting a fire
You're reaching for the garden hose
worried I might burn our home
trying to set my heart on fire.
Standing in the grocery line
with pretty women I am making eyes
pretending that I am falling in love
You're burning through some fantasy
in a romance novel you're reading.
We're trying to set our hearts on fire.
What did you see when you imagined life with me?
Cause I'm not who I want to be.
I can feel the flames growing higher
on the heart of a liar.
I want to burn baby burn it all away.
I want the ambers to glow
in the cold of my soul.
I want to burn baby burn it all away.
Trying to set my heart on fire.
One hot August night
I watched the station fires
burning down the mountain side.
The smoke rises to the sky
as the tears fill my eyes
trying to set my heart on fire.
I can feel the flames growing higher
on the heart of a liar.
I want to burn baby burn it all away.
I want the ambers to glow
in the cold of my soul.
I want to burn baby burn it all away.
So come on burn baby burn it all away
come on burn baby burn it all away.

Wild Unknown

Where will we roam when this war is done
Where will we roam when this war is no more.
Into the wild unknown
Into the wild unknown
Where is our home oh buffalo
Where is our home oh buffalo
Into the wild unknown
Into the wild unknown
This is our home.
This is our home.
The children roam with the buffalo
We animals know where to go
head to the storm with the buffalo
Into the wild unknown
Into the wild unknown
This is our home
This is our home
The children roam with the Buffalo
Don't mar the Soul for control.
Killing life's mystery.
Children believe that you are free
and this was never your disease.
Oh buffalo you can see that our
history repeats
Into the wild unknown
Into the wild unknown
This is our home
This is our home
Come back home
This is our home

Fishermen

How in the hell did I ever get here?
Sitting on this stone.
The bridge is blown from shore to shore
I can hear her yell across the gorge.
"Boy leave it be you're never going to know.
What's done is done, and only death is below
death below
so you best be heading home."
If that fall won't kill me
If that fall won't kill me
I fear that death would find me
sitting here.
My body broke and my blood went cold
as I crashed into the steam.
I floated by with a smile on face
for the fall hadn't taken me.
A tragedy is what they had seen
said those fishing in the stream.
"A broken heart meant to take his life.
Suicide." is what those fisherman surmised.
If that fall won't kill me
If that fall won't kill me
I fear that death would find me
sitting here.

Marathon

Lace up your shoes.
Take only what you need.
Come run like hell
out of this town with me.
The weight of your body
over your feet
press to the ground and release from the concrete.
Everyone who said that our love was done
is going to eat their words when they see us run.
Side by side my feet will pace with you.
On this marathon of life lover get me
Lover get me through.
They said we were done
we'd long been passed by.
Our road back home
burned out by lies.
Don't be afraid
as we run down the vanishing lines
to the point in the sky
where this world will die.
Everyone who said that our love was done
is going to eat their words when they see us run.
Side by side my feet will pace with you.
On this marathon of life lover get me
Lover get me through.
