New Disguise
05:14
|
|||
I've sold it all. I ain't got a home.
Clothes on my back. I don't need no comb.
I can't wait to feel you, feel you in my arms until I die.
To tell this world how I love your sweetest laugh.
What your joy brings me even through a photograph.
I can't wait to feel you, feel you in my arms until I die.
The sun is shining all over my life and
baby you're the reason for the season of my new disguise.
Stockpile the money for a plan B or C.
Every plan I make involves your sweet company.
I can't wait to feel you, feel you in my arms until I die.
Whoever wants you, you tell them it's too late
and you talk all about my heart, baby, ain't that great?
I can't wait to feel you, feel you in my arms until I die.
We're hoping this time just flies on by.
We'll hide what we can from the electric eye.

It's A New Day
02:49
|

It's a new day.
Here's to the straight path.
It's a new day.
A nimble heart and skates to smooth your ride.
It's a babe's view.
Here's to the blue skies.
It's a new day.
Uncluttered thoughts and wonder all around.
Falling see the beauty in my sky.
Landing see the nest I hold.
In your dark hour let me shine a light
on your lonely trail coming through my door.
It's a new day.
It's a long life.
Here's to the sweethearts.
It's a new day.
Some time to share and friends to walk the mile.
It's a babe's view.
Here's to the blue skies.
It's a new day.
A nimble heart and wonder all around.

The Mists of Down Below
03:15
|
|||
Wild wind, take me home to the mists of down below.
I'll be flying come September day.
With no borders in my way, you'll find me home until the May sun burns
the heavy mists of down below.
I see the rivers flooding strong and people wishing they belonged
Free for anywhere they want to go.
When they pray they can look to the sky
and they'll see me as I pass by
heading for the mists of down below.
Without fields ripe from rain there ain't no way to feed my pain
dreaming of the mists of down below.
Down below is not my fate, there is no land from where I came
not even mists of old Mexico.
So I looked hard at reasons for the dreamers blowing door to door
dreaming of the mists of down below.
I'm sure they'd go anywhere they could if wings became their neighborhoods and there would be nowhere they wouldn't know.

This love was meant to be forever.
A world I found in your song.
If your song played forever I'd find the world to sing along.
Take my light forever I'll let it shine until I'm gone
and I won't speak of pain.
I'll dream of times that we shone.
Saturday night will be rocking. Keep me warming up.
With my lullaby angel in this rough and tumble world
we never get enough of each other.
I only want to comfort you. Sing away your pain.
Sometimes I'll need it to. Life can be a guessing game.
Take my light forever, I'll let it shine until I'm gone
and I won't speak of pain. I'll dream my happiness away.
Love me lost, love me lonely. Your world won't be denied.
I'll hold your dreams together in the sky where they can't hide.
We'll find happiness through thunder, no matter how we wander on.
Take my light forever and this darkness it rests upon.

Sure Fire Way of Taking
02:57
|
|||
I've got sure fire way of taking 'til that little heart of mine is breaking.
I'm hard to take and shake and make myself get down.
I've got that old standby just waiting for a new flirtation with my satan
and I can't guarantee I won't run you around.
I've got that old campfire swaying and I'm drunk but I'm still playing.
Not caving in to the glare behind the dawn.
I'm going to write her an old time love line and sing it in a song a thousand times to make up for the times I put her on.
She's just a dreamer. I'm just a coffee in need of creamer.
I'm bitterly just hoping to get by.
She's had many years going crazy being treated just like a lady.
I'm hard to take on the ground my money's tied.

A New Song of Beauty
04:10
|
|||
I sang a song quickly, it came from a mountain.
It came from a mountain and it laid in the sand.
Out of the great nowhere a new song was singing.
I felt it inside me going out to the land.
She wasn't a sad song or one I could hold on.
It was a sweet melody of plain truth to me.
She stayed in my heart and I heard it forever.
It was in my last moments before I would sleep.
Ooooh, sing a new song of beauty.
Ooooh, sing a song to feel through me.
Ooooh, sing a song to be with me.
Ooooh, a new song of beauty.
When sadness blew through the life I could not tame
with the people so wild with their sorrow and pain.
I felt the song shiver and bring me back to beauty.
Beauty I'd heard and felt were the same.
As evening passes through days long together,
when the nights are so silent while the dead reach the sky.
I'll always remember this new song of beauty.
It will always sing in me 'til my heart runs dry.

Renegades
03:20
|
|||
Crying at the blue in the moon on a night that still ain't dawned.
Which side are they on? How they shook us down so long.
There was nothing right to say watch our whole life fade away.
Caught between compliance and sticking it to the man.
Lone nights have filled the time we're wasting.
Thank the stars for the beauty we're still painting.
They can't take our love away, true soul never dies.
We'll be renegades torn apart no more.
When we tried to give some light to hide this night away,
since she's gone, I've been a wildfire in a storm.
If we don't go crazy, we'll be bound to lose our minds.
We'll give them everything they want so we can carry on these ties.
She's a keeper and she never whined in the cold.
This love's too young to go, "some space between the notes."
When unfair world undermine, even with a case of blues we'll shine.
If we could do it all over like a song, before the poisoned paperwork
drove the situation wrong.
When we tried to give some light to hide this night away,
since she's gone, I've been a wildfire in a storm.
Since she's gone, I've been a wildfire in a storm.

The Beauty Doesn't Know
03:16
|
|||
You say it's hard to fly but my feet don't touch the ground.
Would you root my wings and watch me tiptoe to my dreams?
You say we can't know the future, but my eyes have seen the sunsets
painted between heaven and earth, and know this day's a masterpiece.
Because the beauty doesn't know the rose from weed,
the man from the babe, the storm that shakes the trees.
The beauty doesn't find a road painted black,
but a wild horse charging me home.
You say that nothing lasts but my vision burns your sight.
Would you see me clear and battle a different fight?
You say that love's a duty, but my days have seen the comfort
of warm hearts holding space, and know that love will always be.
Hold tight.
Loose rein.
All of your might, hold tight!
All of your dreams, all of your light,
it's alright.

Little Bird
03:44
|

Little bird, little bird, crying in a cage.
Trying to assuage the tears that run down.
Wounded or burned, your beauty shines through night.
Your song fulfills my night, and freedom clouds float high above
the shattered stories gone.
Just let them fall, let them fall, fate scrawled upon your wall.
A breaking heart will mend and you'll be whole again, my friend.
Just let them fall.
Little bird, little bird, sorry that you bleed.
Don't perceive the need to lock the pains away.
When in the end, you'll spread your wings and fly,
circle to the sky.
Shatter off your chains and let them tumble to the ground.
If you take my hand, I'll make sure you stand.
See you through the end.
To catch the dreams you left behind, afraid to carry on.
Little bird, little bird. Let's picnic in the sun.
I thought our time had come, but now you're sitting near.
Glory be found, we'll pick feathers from the trees,
fall down on our knees.
Thank the angels who fell before you to soften up your fall.

Puddles in the Rain
03:30
|
|||
They're walking through life's little puddles in the rain,
looking for meaning in any kind of pain. Ooooh.
Daddy's sore, mama's working twice the time.
They're asking me for money but I ain't got a dime. Ooooh.
Sometimes I wonder why I was born.
To find a little line to walk when all I've got for shoes is torn.
Walking through the puddles in the rain.
Broken woman and man, staring at their lively child.
Wondering where their heartbeats went.
In the corner where their dreams are piled. Ooooh.
Walking through the puddles in the rain.
Walking through life's little puddles in the rain, on my way
to the big diesel train. Ooooh.
I'll be walking out when the sun is on the rise and I can see the happiness
in everybody's eyes. Ooooh.
To look at meaning, you've got to take yourself away.
Pretend you were never born, and that's how it's gonna stay.
Then you will see, it ain't you or me.
We're all walking through the puddles in the rain.
Sweet crystal youth, in the land of destruction.
Strung out on proof of the hand of corruption.
Waiting to die and burning the slums with their eyes.
Walking through the puddles in the rain.
Walking through life's little puddles in the rain.
Looking for meaning in any kind of pain. Ooooh.
