And Time

It’s the summertime
Best you’ll ever be
Don’t waste your time away, time ain’t for free
Dream your bad times away
like a cloud, like a daydream
Don’t waste your time away, time ain’t for free
Close your eyes and the moment’s gone
Sun sits low as the nights grow long
Witness the seasons drop in line
Fall on through another year in time
Summertime: In the Summertime
Summertime: Life was a breeze
It was the summertime
Best there’ll ever be
An old man said that his clearest mind was in the summertime
Summertime: In the Summertime
Summertime: Life was a breeze

Hey, Wait
03:51
|

Hey, wait, you look so tired
Wait, hey, so far gone
Hey, wait, can you force a smile,
when you live a life uphill?
Day after day – a love sits quiet
Day after day – a love so still
Wish I could know what stirs inside you
Hey, wait, what’s in your mind?
Wait, hey, what’s in the bottom drawer?
Do you keep a perfect secret?
Are you evening up the score?
Day after day – a love sits quiet
Day after day – a love so still
Wish I could know what stirs inside you
Used to be in someone’s arms - Used to be somewhere to run
Used to be in someone’s arms - Used to be somewhere to run
Hey Wait
A love sits quiet
A love so still
Used to be
Used to be somewhere to run
Used to be in someone’s arms
Used to be somewhere to run
Hey Wait: Used to be in someone’s arms
Hey Wait: Used to be somewhere to run
Hey Wait: Used to be in someone’s arms
Used to be somewhere to run

Woven

Travel and you’ll see the signs
Before, before you
Unravel all these things of mine
It becomes, it becomes you
Castles stand and rivers wind
To the sea that’s below you
Waves of blue rushing over you
Can you see the signs?
Can you tell what is mine?
You’re woven in these things of mine
It’s sign, before you
Pull it only makes it shine
Pull on yours, pull on mine
Waves of blue rushing over you
Can you see the signs?
Can you tell what is mine?
When the world falls off its hinge and your mind is wearing thin
As you shelter in your place turn around and feel the waves
Waves of blue rushing over you
Can you see the signs?
Can you tell what is mine?
I see waves of green rushing in between
I can see the signs
I can tell that you’re mine

Change Your Mind
03:21
|
|||
If I thought I could change your mind
Bring back the lights that shined
Well, I felt quite alone that day
And it’s hard for me to say
“That’s my sole regret”
“That’s my own sorrow”
If I thought I could change your mind
Take a look and you will find
That that’s my sole regret
That’s my own sorrow
But reality hit me in the eyes
But reality has hit me in the eyes
Had a thought that it could change
Tried to make a clearer way
But the words I hear you say
I don’t think that it can change
Had a thought that it could change
Tried to make a clearer way
But the words I hear you say
I don’t think that it can change
Had a thought I could change your mind
About a girl that I left behind
Fore it’s plain to see
Things are better this way
Better this way.
Better this way.

Over Easy
03:38

You wish it wasn’t over, but it looks like it is
Try to straighten up your shoulders, from that kick in the ribs
And I can tell you honey “you’re gonna be alright”
And I call tell you baby “it’s gonna be alright”
And maybe it will
Now you look to me for comfort, well what can I do
I can mix you up a cocktail, or I can play you the blues
Or I can tell you honey “it’s gonna be alright”
And I call tell you baby “it’s gonna be alright”
Baby, do you ever wonder
why I’m always there for you?
One day, maybe it gonna hit you
That I am the one
honey it’s gonna be alright
honey it’s gonna be alright
Baby, do you ever wonder
why I’m always there for you?
One day, maybe it gonna hit you
That I am the one
I’m glad that’s over, even if you’re not
I’m only getting older, I’m gonna take my shot
I’m gonna grab you honey and treat you right
And you can call me “baby” even just for one night
And maybe we will

Woodwork

Fix your hair, pack your wares, you’re leaving
Not a care, anywhere, this evening
You can tell this one yes, you can turn this one down, no reason
You’ve found your own way to turn God’s gift into freedom
The heat of the day, you can sleep it away
Lay your head, on a bed, by the sea
Watch the day turn to dusk as the breeze stirs the dust
Watch the day turn into dusk
Fix your hair, pack your wares, you’re leaving
Not a care, anywhere, this evening
You can tell this one yes, you can turn this one down, no reason
You’ve found your own way to turn God’s gift into freedom
Night is the time, with senses alive
It’s the time to take what they’ve got
See the world on your terms, pick and choose who to turn
It’s all there, for a girl at the top
In and out of the woodwork again
Falling in and out of the woodwork again
The heat of the day, you can sleep it away
Lay your head, on a bed, by the sea
Watch the day turn to dusk as the breeze stirs the dust
Watch the day turn into dusk
Come out
Come out
Of the woodwork

Steps to Summer
02:51

Some are named for flowers
Some for passing trends
She was named for summer
‘cause she followed spring
Nearby the wind chimes: Near
Some are named for flowers
Some for passing trends
She was named for summer
‘cause she followed spring
Nearby the wind chimes: Near
Step through the garden path
Unlock the gate, yeah
I’m gonna meet you
Inside a lilting laugh
Calls from the room in back
I’m gonna meet you
Some are named for flowers
Some for passing trends
She was named for summer
‘cause she followed spring
Outside the stars shine: Clear
Nearby the wind chimes: Near
Walk past the songbird bath
Up to the screen door
Inside a lilting laugh
Calls from the room in back
I’m gonna meet you

Witch's Tree
03:50

Hedge of stones, standing alone - Lining the Witch’s Tree
Lay you down, head on the ground - Watching the Witch’s Tree
Look and see I’ll take your word for it
Climb that tree Don’t want another disease
Look at me I wanna run for it
On your knees
Hedge of stones, standing alone - Lining the Witch’s Tree
Lay you down, head on the ground - Watching the Witch’s Tree
Look and see I’ll take your word for it
Climb that tree Don’t want another disease
Look at me I wanna run for it
On your knees
Closer you stand there the stiller the air is
This is the Witch’s Tree
Cracks in the pavement, stand through the ages
Take in the Witch’s Tree
Past is forgotten, now a notch in
A branch on the Witch’s Tree
Notches for others, lost at the crossroads
Marked by the Witch’s Tree
(Look and see, Climb that tree, Look at me)
Stand alone, draw near and you’ll see
Closer you stand there, the stiller the air is
This is the Witch’s Tree
Cracks in the pavement, stand through the ages
Take in the Witch’s Tree
Past is forgotten, now a notch in
A branch on the Witch’s Tree
Notches for others, lost at the crossroads
Marked by the Witch’s Tree

Chimney
03:55
|

Stare into the hearth
Evening into dark as ashes and embers fold
Tread on no one’s trail
Some ships only sail into harbors that welcome none
Kindle an open flame
Footsteps on a path
Cut in through the grass to a clearing that no one knows
Kindle an open flame
Chimney sits above
Ashes on the rug from a fire that no one tends
Kindle an open flame
Kindle an open flame
From the north, with the horseman’s knot
From the sea with Eurasian pox
From the north, with the horseman’s knot
From the sea with Eurasian pox
From the north, with the horseman’s knot
From the sea with Eurasian pox
Stare into the hearth
Evening into dark as ashes and embers fold
Chimney sits above
Ashes on the rug from a fire a worn man tends
Kindle an old man’s flame

Wisteria (Bloom)
03:31
|

With fading sunlight, you undress yourself
Lavender sequins
I’ve got a name for you
Wisteria (you)
Wisteria (bloom)
Steadfast and patient thought the winter’s cruel
Surrounds are barren
I’ll give a name to you
Wisteria (you)
Wisteria (bloom)
It’s only natural
To seed and to see that the bees see what they want in you
Your twining’s structural
I’ve got a name, I gotta name you
Wisteria (you)
Wisteria (bloom)
Now days are warming and the sun sits high (Wisteria)
Stretched out and open
I’ve got a name for you
Wisteria (you)
Wisteria (bloom)
Wisteria (you)
Wisteria (bloom)
I’ve got a name for you
