Foggy coast lines
A long sought river,
Too far an ocean from home
Untended and forgetten holly
unfinished barns
stones and shells
stolen from the beach
still sit on the window sill
When God forgot us
we finally figured it out
As the cars drove by
In the eve
Of night
You are the person you miss
A long sought river,
Too far an ocean from home
Untended and forgetten holly
unfinished barns
stones and shells
stolen from the beach
still sit on the window sill
When God forgot us
we finally figured it out
As the cars drove by
In the eve
Of night
You are the person you miss

Works for me
Over the years
I've gotten to the point
Where I don't feel the need to say
Anything
It always seems to be wrong
Just say yes
And get it done with
I've gotten to the point
Where I don't feel the need to say
Anything
It always seems to be wrong
Just say yes
And get it done with

Oh
The buzzing of wings in
the backyard ivy.
Cold nights.
Clear days.
So many stones in my soil,
so few of what I grew.
I till it under
only to try again next year.
Like a starving man
digging for potatoes.
I am the blight
that slowly kills what I love.

So many stones in my soil,

digging for potatoes.
I am the blight
that slowly kills what I love.

Where it ends
All of the answers
Have been in front of you
The entire time
You can see it
But never reach an understanding
I had a dream I went mad
With laughter and denial
Telling everyone I met
I had no idea why I am this way
Met with scowls and disappoinment
Of disbelief and despair
I laugh it off
Only to wake up sobbing
Have been in front of you
The entire time
You can see it
But never reach an understanding
I had a dream I went mad
With laughter and denial
Telling everyone I met
I had no idea why I am this way
Met with scowls and disappoinment
Of disbelief and despair
I laugh it off
Only to wake up sobbing

Liars
It is easier to reject reality
Than it is to face it
To face it and know it is me
Who has the problem,
Not them
To face it and know
You've been playing poor little me
Without the mirror
There would be no others

Get help
Who do I turn to
When I can't face myself
What is there left
When I never had anything
Why should I live
If it means just existing
When I can't face myself
What is there left
When I never had anything
Why should I live
If it means just existing

Lost
I wouldn't know who to tell
Or where to begin
Would they judge me
Of course they would
Would they accept me
I have no idea
Or where to begin
Would they judge me
Of course they would
Would they accept me
I have no idea

Distant
An old gate, creaks in the wind
Crickets and wood smoke
Sunflowers leaning in the night
By the light of the harvest moon
The far away heartbeat
of a
bridge in the
rain
Fall came early this year
Crickets and wood smoke
Sunflowers leaning in the night

Past tense
Was I supposed
To say those things?
Who else would have heard?
I think
My words mean very little
To anybody
I wanted to tell you
I love you
Before I go
To say those things?
Who else would have heard?
I think
My words mean very little
To anybody
I wanted to tell you
I love you
Before I go

Headaches
Fresh dill and pipe tobacco
Cedar dust and fir
A quiet guitar
Sunset after a rainy day
They're still disappointed in us

What if
Make a decision
Stick with it
Stick with it
Damn it
Do it for you
Do it for them
.
Stick with it
Stick with it
Damn it
Do it for you
Do it for them

Take care
What should I do
When something from a year ago
Ten years ago
Still feels like it was last month
Yesterday
Just this morning
Do I let it go
Or hold onto it
Because I know damn well
That's about as good as it gets
