Blink of an Eye
02:47
|
|||
Don’t spend today always complainin’
Be happy for tomorrow
Everything’s different when you’re one hundred and four
Time flies in the blink of an eye,
Don’t you realize how you’ve grown now?
Don’t forget that yesterday you were born
Oh, pretend you’re cool,
Stating plans that you borrowed
Just forget the rules and fly like a swallow (oh yea)
Today’s a taste of what’s comin’ tomorrow
Why don’t you spread your wings and learn how to fly
Look at the world, spinning, spinning, spinning
Look at the world, spinning without ya
Doing just fine on it’s own
Well look at the universe, going on without ya
Didn’t even notice you were born

Cuckoo by My Window
03:01
|
|||
There’s a dear over here out walkin’
Stepping so light and low
When we cross the river, then he starts talkin’
Wanna hear him tell me some more
First you catch a trout in the creekbed
Gonna fry him nice and slow
Then you catch my heart in a weekend
Wanna hear him tell me some more
Cuckoo by my window
There’s a spruce branch on the floor
And there ain’t no good reason
For walkin’ out the door
Rainy days are the ones I leave and
Walk my own road to hoe
But sunny skies, they make me believe him
Wanna hear him tell me some more
Stubbed my toe on a branch out dancing
Looking for I don’t know
Could it be I get another chance now
Wanna hear him tell me some more

Before I Met You
03:57
|
|||
I was a young thing once in my life
And I did a silly thing twice or three times
But now instead of pavement there’s a rolling green hill
And since I have met you, I’ll go where I will
Well I coulda had one too many again
Because I never know when
And that much is true
And I coulda gone on downtown in my dress
Singing a song, oh what a mess
Before I met you
I found me a small path through the swamp in the woods
I picked me a flower because its color was good
I gave you the flower which seemed so forlorn
And now that you have it, a new love is born

Down by the Riverside
02:48
|
|||
Monday morning, it’s 2AM
I let him in, he’ll always win
Why do I look at you, you look at me
Why can’t I be free?
Why don’t we go somewhere alone
Down by the riverside
Tuesday evening, he’s back again
I let him in, he’ll always win
Why do I look at you, you look away
Well, you’ll be gone one day
We went on a trip
You fell, you took a slip
Your falling, your calling
Haunting, yet lovely
Your falling, your calling
And now I go there alone
Down by the riverside

Don't Think You're Mine
02:51
|
|||
Waiting by the phone, waiting all alone
When will you be home, won’t you call me?
You know I want you near; you know I love you dear
I just want to hear you say you love me
Where do you run to?
Should I be sitting, thinking of you
When I just don’t think you’re mine?
Shoulda listened to the way you told me you’d never stick around
Coulda gone by now and found a new guy
But the way you keep on rollin’ in made me change my mind again
And I just can’t win until I say goodbye
Fell out of the nest but I’m fine on my own
And you won’t be the reason I haven’t grown
I get to feeling numb, twiddling my thumbs
Waiting for someone who’s always long gone
And I start to feeling fine, done with tears and wine
And with the sunshine, I’ve got a new song

Good Mornin' Darlin'
03:02
|
|||
Good mornin’ darlin’, how are you?
I’ve been waiting with the sun
To rise and shine and be yours true
And set with you when the day is done
Good mornin’ darlin’, how’ve you been?
You’ve been in my dreams again
If you hold me close I’ll let you in
But I’m never lettin’ you go again
Wading in the water, waiting for your kiss
I can’t remember it being any better than this
Wading in the water with you
I understand your biggest fears
Well don’t you worry now, I am here
And if time should draw our paths apart
You’ll always have my whole heart
I know that you believe in me
You wouldn’t say it if you didn’t see
And you know that I believe in you
I wouldn’t tell you if it wasn’t true
Good mornin’ darlin’, so who are you?
I love everything you do
Where have you been for all these years?

Source of the Sun
02:28
|
|||
Through the window I can hear the world arising
Is it for or from the day that we all run?
Have you left your mind elsewhere and wandered aimlessly
Searching for the source of the sun?
Isn’t it true there’s more beauty in the light?
Isn’t it true there’s more blues in the night?
I don’t want to see the sadness,
So take my hand and run
Be the source of the sun
Before you were born there was a darkness
A safe place, but you were alone
Now we run about with hearts full of life and love
Searching for the source of the sun
Isn’t it true there’s more beauty in the light?
Isn’t it true there’s more blues in the night?
I don’t want to see the sadness,
So take my hand and run
Be the source of the sun
Nah I don’t want to see the sadness,
So take my hand and run
Be the source of the sun
I said now you should be the source of the sun
(One more time, boy) be the source of the sun

Eagle
04:31
|
|||
High above the land
Eagle on a branch
Asking me to dance
And in my heart, I know I should fly
Fly to the land that I love
The fire and the flood
The leaves, the trees, all love
And all that’s there is all I find

Good in the Kitchen
02:05
|
|||
If you wanna see my recipe
Good in the kitchen, and get ready to eat
Well I been workin’ all day, slavin’ away
Trying to get that salsa the most natural way
South Louisiana, North Carolina
I’ll bring the biscuits, you make jambalaya
Well I been workin’ all day, slavin’ away
Trying to get that gravy the most natural way

On the Road Instead
03:17
|
|||
Heading north in a rolling boat
Or is it all a joke? Oh honey, I don’t know
I’ve been given one life but I want more
‘Cause one life to live is way too short
I gotta make it overflow
Honey I could see taking you with me
But either way, I gotta go
‘Cause one life to live is way too short
Just when I think it’s the end of the road,
It’s just a bend in the road
I can’t help but wonder what I’m missing
When all I see is so many people flying
While I just stand there wishing
Too many nights that I’ve been safe in my bed
When I want to sleep on the road instead
Darlin’ I’ve been wasting time telling lies to myself
Because I can’t decide which way to go
But I guess sometimes you just gotta do something
Even if it’s wrong

New Pair of Shoes
03:13
|
|||
Won’t you go and tell your mother, dear
That I am taking you away from here
Won’t you go and tell your father too
That I am going with you
The days grow short now, and never long enough with you
But the sun will come around again, I know it’s true
So ask your mother to buy you a new pair of shoes
And I will walk a long, long while right next to you
Won’t you go and tell your sister, who
Will build a boat that will sail straight and true
And won’t you go and tell your brother now
For he will carve the bough

Shady Grove
03:08
|
|||
Peaches in the summertime
Apples in the fall
If I can’t have the man I love
I won’t have none at all
Shady grove, my true love
Shady grove, I know
Shady grove, my true love
Bound for the shady grove
Every time I walk that road
It’s always dark and cloudy
Every time I see that boy
He always tells me howdy
When I was in Shady Grove
Heard them pretty birds sing
Next time I go to Shady Grove
I’ll take along a diamond ring
Fly around, my pretty little miss
Fly around, my daisy
Fly around, my pretty little miss
Going back to Harlan

Honeybabe
03:56
|
|||
Walk this way, sit by the
Mountain stream, honeybabe
Hold my hand, understand
These changing leaves and this frozen stream
Life can be lonely
Time is not free
Love can be scary
But not for my honeybabe and me
Back again, standing in
This whipping rain, oh my honeybabe
Close your eyes, hear the sighs
Of my frozen heart as it breaks apart
We’re free like the New Moon in the morning
We’re free like the willow in the gloaming
For together, no matter where we’re roaming
It is we, my honeybabe and me
But not for my honeybabe and me
