They’re not your own, child Still beautiful in your eyes Slow down for rushing of love Pour out your blessings of above All of the miles mean nothing to you Turn on the smiles, they’ll help you through Nothing will change if you don’t try It’s easy to see where your heart lies Geography stacked against poverty All the greed of you and me They’re not your own child Still beautiful in your eyes Slow down for rushing of love Pour out your lessons of above They’re not your own child Still beautiful in your eyes Slow down for rushing of love Pour out your lessons of above They’re not your own child They’re not your own child

She didn’t leave a note on the door Left a muddy boot track on the floor Bloody fist gave the window pain Grief and shame CH: When the whisky ran low she went and lost her mind When the whiskey ran out yeah, she followed right behind Foolish pride filled an empty bed I cried into the couch regret unsaid Probably should have listened to my old man Wouldn’t understand CH: When the money ran low she went and lost her mind When the money ran out yeah, she followed right behind I guess your hearts not broke kinda like a bad joke That When the whisky ran low she went and lost her mind When the whiskey ran out yeah, she followed right behind When the money ran low she went and lost her mind When the money ran out yeah, she followed right behind She’s gone She’s long gone What went wrong Yeah, she’s long gone

I met you on a Sunday as the sun fell on down You gave me that look dear and my heart hit the ground But things they got colder as the time drifted by You left me alone dear and I’m not sure why CH: Don’t you tell me you’re leaving unless you’re sure that you’re gone As you walk away you become a song, you become a song I remember sitting on your porch late at night Kissing you so softly under moon’s ray of light Said we’d always be together but forever is gone Tonight belongs to my heart cuz you needed your song CH: Don’t you tell me you’re leaving unless you’re sure that you’re gone As you walk away you become a song, you become a song Some loves last forever now I see you’ve moved on As you walk away you become a song, you become a song I met you on a Sunday as the sun fell on down You gave me that look dear and my heart hit the ground But things they got colder as the time drifted by You left me alone dear and I’m not sure why CH: Don’t you tell me you’re leaving unless you’re sure that you’re gone As you walk away you become a song, you become a song Some loves last forever now I see you’ve moved on As you walk away you become a song, you become a song

Unborn, unraised, but often times praised. My love for this city in winter lights it’s pretty. Frosted windows and north winds Hills and where hills begin Ice breaks where rivers cross Head tilt back And sorrows lost CH. And I feel it now as Carson’s seats turn white And the trees bow down Where bridges dodge the light Double barrel belfries watch over us tonight Double barrel belfries watch over us tonight Not meant to last but these days go fast My years have burned like the seasons have turned On benches made of wood the whiskey tastes so good So many friends walked in now I wonder just where they’ve been CH. And I feel it now as Barstow Streets turned white And the trees bow down Where bridges dodge the light Double barrel belfries watch over us tonight Double barrel belfries watch over us tonight I think maybe we’re all just lonesome ghosts Don’t you? I think maybe we’re all just loathsome hosts What’s new? CH. And I feel it now as Carson’s seats turn white And the trees bow down And the music fills the night Double barrel belfries watch over us tonight Double barrel belfries watch over us tonight

It’s a foghorn love analogy The kind of love that says stay away from me It’s a frequency you can feel, you can hear It says danger stay clear It’s a church bell calling out connecting all The broken loneliness of some great and some small You’re all alone and you’re standing at the pier Danger stay clear She’s gonna crash in time I’m a fish trapped in a fishbowl And didn’t commit a crime I piss against the wind And think of you again You’re all alone and you’re standing at the pier Danger stay clear

I’m giving in for a little while I want you to know That’s it’s not so much the holding on As the letting go Just be still Just be still They say that time heals all wounds if you let it So I will, yeah I will Oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh Secret stargazing from behind the vault You see my arms aren’t closed they’re open Oh I’m turning it back I’m drinking it in Up until all hours in the dormitory Oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh I’m giving in for a little while I want you to know That it’s not so much the holding on as the letting go

Lost 03:36
Standing in the dirt palms out Looking for the shoes for her feet Holey torn dress, it’s all a mess Chin down She must have felt lost when she came to you She had no other choice Could you stand up for her? Would you be her voice? It’s breaking her apart It’s breaking her apart Father look at what he’s done Deliver up our secret You can go turn him in and they would lock him away What do you mean you’ve got nothing to say! That “it’s not worth the beating this family would take if you are not telling it straight” It’s breaking her apart It’s breaking her apart Too many times we go around blind Unwilling to face this crime Our daughters do the time Enough is enough, let’s lift them up Start to make things right In love Standing in the dirt palms out Looking for the shoes for her feet Holey torn dress that’s all a mess Chin down

Lovin' You 03:04
Loving you is like lying in a garden of nettles It’s like grasping the stem of a rose that doesn’t have any petals It’s like trying to quench your thirst with easy cheese You gotta take a big huge breath, you can only wheeze Now if a blade of grass can push itself through concrete Don’t tell me we don’t have a chance to grow A flower busts its way up down on main street So, shut your mouth and breathe through your nose You tried your way through her hard five-inch-thick skin Making your way through the dark until you smash your shin Tiny fragments of bone compound the issue Your eyes they burn so bad you should have saved the tissue And that instant flash of pain brings mind and mission Nothing is as clear and certain as hindsight and 20/20 vision Loving you is like lying in a garden of nettles It’s like grasping the stem of a rose that doesn’t have any petals

Looks like your moving on Just like I’m staying here River called to you tempting every thought After closing time you come crawling up inside my head Wishing you would be around you’re like a song One I haven’t written down Let’s take some time Talk it over Cuz it’s been a while and I’m not over you What would happen if we go down that road if we don’t jump I guess we’ll never know Mid-September here you are again What to say to you, could you understand I wasn’t missing you but now I find you right back in my head Wishing you would be around you’re like a song one I haven’t written down Let’s take some time Talk it over Cuz it’s been a while and I’m not over you What would happen if we go down that road if we don’t jump I guess we’ll never know If we don’t jump I guess we’ll never know I call out to you listen my old friend We’ve been back and forth should this be the end This is where you live you’ll always end up right back in my head Could you always be around you’re like a song one I’ve finally written down Let’s take some time Talk it over Cuz it’s been a while and I’m not over you What would happen if we go down that road if we don’t jump I guess we’ll never know If we don’t jump I guess we’ll never know

I’m feeling my way through the dark Just searching for some kind of spark Didn’t mean to break our plans, or your heart I’m just feeling my way through the dark Yeah, feeling my way through the dark Shiny figures dance in your head As leaves and twigs fall in your bed To stoke the fires that burn in my stead I’m Feeling my way through the dark Feeling my way through the dark Rivers and roads, pathways and plans All led me here with my head in my hands Full of regret, lost in my mind The importance of distance and time I left while you were asleep One last look is all that I need But the heartache that’s yours to keep I’m feeling my way through the dark Feeling my way through the dark
