Day And Night

You been on my mind day and night
You been on my mind day and night
You been on my mind day and night
When the cold wind blows and there’s no place to go
You been on my mind day and night
Maybe I’ve been staring off in space
Cause the snow won’t melt it’s piling up
And they’ve shut the highway down
You been on my mind day and night
You been on my mind day and night
You been on my mind day and night
When the cold wind blows and there’s no place to go
You been on my mind day and night
Locked up in the hanging threads of reverence
Don’t want to be a bother
Or some burden on your line
You been on my mind day and night
You been on my mind day and night
Everyday when you first spot the sun out east
I’ll have risen hours before
Pushing hard trying to keep up.
You been on my mind day and night
You been on my mind day and night
You been on my mind day and night
When the cold wind blows and there’s no place to go
You been on my mind day and night

Read It In The News
03:43
|

Driven to the wire again
Just like it’s always been
Out on top in the end
Out on top in the end
Surrounded by teams of youth
As they hang on every word
Out on top in the end
Out on top in the end
And we read it in the news
And we read it in the news
Photographs in black and white
Blurry bodies in motion
Out on top in the end
Out on top in the end
Ghostly sounds from the past
Shouted out through the air
Out on top in the end
Out on top in the end
And we read it in the news
And we read it in the news
He said he’s so conflicted
He said he’s so confused
Out on top in the end
Out on top in the end
And we read it in the news
And we read it in the news
And we read it in the news

Mary
04:06
|
|||
|
There was just one stop light in the heart of town
But man it sure made Mary awful mad
She would bang on the dashboard scream and holler
Like she was stuck in L.A. rush hour
Cause Mary you see was raised out in the fields
And to her a small town still was too big
Her life’s rules were made by the land
She had no use for the laws of man
I used to tell her...
Girl you belong in the country why you'd you ever come ‘round this way
You don't belong on the sidewalks and streets cause you never cared what other folks say
Mary had a mind all of her own
But it's not like she lacked sympathy
I've seen her pull over change a stranger’s tire
They said she was best under fire
But you never could tell Mary what to do
That's why she hated that stoplight in town
Her life’s rules were made by the land
She had no use for the laws of man
I used to tell her...
Girl you belong in the country why you'd you ever come ‘round this way
You don't belong on the sidewalks and streets cause you never cared what other folks say
Last I heard Mary moved outta town
Found a piece of land up in the hills
Been growing her crop the best of its kind
She's hard at work all of the time
Truth it be told underneath Mary was soft
And her heart was as big as the sun
Her life’s rules were made by the land
She had no use for the laws of man
I used to tell her...
Girl you belong in the country why you'd you ever come ‘round this way
You don't belong on the sidewalks and streets cause you never cared what other folks say

With All My Dreams
03:16
|
|||
|
I can’t believe what I worry about, as I page through a magazine
People all being scattered about, making all my thoughts fall apart at the seems
Fall apart at the seems, fall apart at the seems
With all my dreams
And I find myself here again, but there’s something to be said for that
The covers feel warm again, and it’s all lost on me
It’s all lost on me, it’s all lost on me
With all my dreams
I heard the words before, and I know it’s not a waste
Everything was so beautiful before, I can still see it now
I can still see it now, I can still see it now
With all my dreams

We Still Stand
05:05
|
|||
|
I saw you hurting
Standing next to me
And the bombs kept falling
Flashes of red and green
Ducking for cover
Tired and raw
You proceeded to spill
Everything that you thought
We still stand
We still stand
We still stand
We still stand
Now what can you tell me
Of his splendid decent
If he knew it was coming
Then why’d it go how it went
It was all rather shocking
I can see by your walk
But what I can’t make sense of
Is why you’re speaking of luck
We still stand
We still stand
We still stand
We still stand
Head to the ground
The twinge kind of ebbs
As everyone’s planning
How to honor the end
I sat by the fence
Things started to roll
I could tell by your questions
Time’s taken its toll
We still stand
We still stand
We still stand
We still stand
We still stand
We still stand
We still stand
We still stand

Don't Go Away So Fast
03:35
|
|||
|
Don’t go away so fast, when you’re going
Don’t go away so fast, when you’re going
But go and breathe the words
Spinning off the concrete in the street
Slowly take it in
Choose what to disregard and what to keep
Made a stand, stood my ground
Thought was the toughest part of all
But nothing’s like practicing the art
Of learning to watch you fall
Don’t go away so fast, when you’re going
Don’t go away so fast, when you’re going
Cause it's batter up, take a swing, you don’t connect
It doesn’t mean a thing
As long as you brush off the dirt
Step back up and take another swing
Wanna wrap you in a quilt of gold
Before you cross that threshold out the door
But it does no good to hide your eyes
From things I’ve seen before
Don’t go away so fast, when you’re going
Don’t go away so fast, when you’re going

Sacred Geometry
03:04
|
|||
|
Don’t have to write it all down for the whole world to see
Cause I love you even if you never do a thing
Don’t wanna hear senseless noise it’s all a blur to me
The dome of truth finds a voice in sacred geometry
And they’re only making shapes with their mouths
Don’t try to tell me they’re speaking
And they’re only making shapes with their mouths
Don’t try to tell me
Gonna drive to the gathering found words I wanna hear
The static from straining tongues only hurts my ears
I’m just trying to sit back, resist the urge to pounce
Takes all my concentration to keep from checking out
And they’re only making shapes with their mouths
Don’t try to tell me they’re speaking
And they’re only making shapes with their mouths
Don’t try to tell me

Some Years Ago
03:29
|

Some years ago, they rode thru the valley
Some years ago, their voices rang
Some years ago, they climbed up the hillside
Some years ago
And they would never raise up arms against each other
When they met out on that strip of land
Cause in the valley they saw today vs. forever
Miles and miles above the piles of sand
Some years ago, they rode thru the valley
Some years ago, their voices rang
Some years ago, they climbed up the hillside
Some years ago
And they bathed in the stories of the water
Underneath that shelter of stone
One by one all the sons and daughters
Some stand united some stand alone
Some years ago, they rode thru the valley
Some years ago, their voices rang
Some years ago, they climbed up the hillside
Some years ago

He always came this way, must have been his route
Nodding as he’d say good day, and carried on with walkabout
Never knew his name, only knew his shoes
Streets sometimes don’t look the same, that’s why it gets confused
And I just wanna know your name.
And I just wanna know your name.
Who will be the one, to crawl with parasites
Got to get your favors done, out beyond dim lights
Spoke in all dialects, words often give way
Frog stood up said, “Don’t dissect your dreams just cause they say!”
And I just wanna know your name.
And I just wanna know your name.
Seems rather amiss, how hearts get tossed around
And the way a simple kiss, can throw you to the ground
So quick to usher in, ideas that dazzle bright
But looking just beneath the glare it’s not quite so forthright
And I just wanna know your name.
And I just wanna know your name.

You never got your hands dirty
You always found a way
To slip out the backdoor
In the middle of the day
You left everyone stranded
And holding the bag
Cause you never got your hands dirty
You just couldn’t understand
From the very beginning
It was so hard
To dig in deeply
In the recesses of the yard
The shadows scared you off
You just turned your head
Cause you never got you hands dirty
Rolled all night long up in bed
Now you cry that you’re all alone
And you don’t wanna wither away
But let the truth be told
You were always so afraid
It mounts up to nothing
But cold wasted time
Cause you never got your hands dirty
You can’t pretend that it’s mine
