To Build My Dreams On
02:17
|

sun, I only need one to satisfy me
land, oh, I’ll make a plan to build my dreams on
water, be it a river or a waterfall, I’ll drink it all
fire – raging hot and tall; I’ll burn it all
sun, the only one burning into my heart
land, oh I’ll take your hand and where love may start
by the water, be it a river or a waterfall, I’ll risk it all
fire, you’re raging hot and tall; I’ll take it all
you – you’re the only thing I never thought I needed
you – you’re so good for me, hold onto
me – and never let me go
the sun – I only need one to satisfy me

Sailor's Valentine
04:55

he saw me behind a tree
I was hiding there, you see
he sang out and called to me
then I turned and ran to the sea
my boat is docked, my love is on the land
if the sea dried up, I would take his hand
I hear your voice like the wind in a gale
again one day to you I’ll sail
well the sea it called, and the sea is strong
so I can’t come back for very long
well the sea it called, and my love is strong
don’t cry my love, for life is long

Too Many Roads
03:15
|
|||
brick stoops are leaving me sitting without a home
oh lord, who am I kidding?
so many places are still left to roam
there’s a bird in a tree
there’s a bird next to me
oh, I never thought there were too many roads
I guess I’ll just let it be
high buttoned boots and those fiddle tunes are all you own
gave away all of your mama’s spoons
just to make sure you were out on your own
some folks are making a killin’ moving stone
but concrete don’t have any filling
you walk right by and don’t know that it’s gone

My Old Pal

|

my old pal, think of me, think of me again
think of me, think of me again
my old friend, think of me, think of me again
think of me, think of me again
oh, I met you long ago I know
I’ve known you for a while
I never thought that you’d be mind
but now I think it’s time
pancakes on the stove, boots on the floor
come to me, come to me again
sail away, sail away, but don’t forget me here
think of me, think of me again
my old friend, think of me, think of me again
think of me, think of me again

Here And Gone
04:35
|

two dozen eggs sitting on a shelf in my fridge
wonder what it would take for them to be gone today
two dozen years, not even a quarter of one hundred years
well that’s not long enough
like the breeze blowing by
like the snow in the sun
as short as the life of a fly
fast as a deer on the run
sudden as a stricken tree falls
sure as an ocean storm
like a breeze blowing by
I guess we’re here and then we’re gone
baker’s dozen, you’ll meet your match in time
though they’re gone we’ll always love them
oh, I guess we’ll be fine

In the Valley
02:51
|
|||
can’t stay long on the highway
can’t stay long without the hills
if I had it my way
there’d be more time to kill
there’s a birch tree standing by the river
and blue skies all around
and all through the winter shiver
that’s where I will be found
in the valley, I’ve been told
there’s a road that leads to home
and if you go, bring me along
I’ve been gone all day alone
can’t stay long in the city
my bones will miss the sun
and some might think it’s a pity
that I don’t need anyone
there’s an oak tree standing by a stream
that’s heard a thought or two
about the ramblings of a dream
and the light that shines from you

Oak Tree
04:23
|
|||
ran to an oak tree
there I found peace
there I also found the truth
my eyes can say what I can not
and mention things that I forgot
you’ll never know the things lost within the blue
what am I doing up here, sitting in this treetop?
all of the people below, where the acorns drop
wish I could stay up here, whistling in the wind
am I a bird or am I really a human?
have you found where I am from
have you been where I belong
I’m looking for a place to build a home
I know I can fly on my own
so what is life without a laugh?
and what is love with only half
of a heart that can’t be true?
the sun will rise, the sun will fall
I’m flying high, I’m flying far
I’m flying into the endless blue
