Naming Hurricanes
04:05
|

|
Shaded by the sky it feels like rain
Only as high as scuffed up shoes
Watching as life runs down the drain
Keep myself dry with Sunday’s news
I’m just naming Hurricanes
I’m just naming Hurricanes
I’m just naming Hurricanes
For you
What’s done is done
Under my breath I’m placing blame
Walking around in a scarecrows coat
Is it these days or am I the same
Ask me the time, I just don’t know
I’m just naming Hurricanes
I’m just naming Hurricanes
I’m just naming Hurricanes
For you
What’s done is done
The world will forget and so will you
Impressions remain when you are pressed
Avoiding the eyes they look straight through
Move to the side like all the rest
I’m just naming Hurricanes
I’m just naming Hurricanes
I’m just naming Hurricanes
For you
What’s done is done

Avenue
04:30

Working all night to bring her to life
The subject is gone, the image survives
Lay down the brush the memories will dry
On the avenue
There’s always another person waiting
Avenue
There’s always another place to stay in
The Sun and Moon needed this place to light our faces
Avenue
I’m walking through
Most of the time a window’s a wall
People walk by barely noticed at all
Somewhere outside a friend gives a call
On the Avenue
There’s always another person waiting
Avenue
There’s always another place to stay in
Me and you needed a place to count our paces
Avenue
That’s what we’ll do
Some are locked away and some are all alone
Some just need the streetlight to bring them home
Noise from the hall ends little fears
As long as you’re heard you won’t disappear
Open the door and sing loud and clear
On the avenue
There’s always another person waiting
Avenue
There’s always another place to stay in
Me and you needed this place to light our faces
Avenue
We’re walking through

Never Heard Again
04:59
|

|
The lifeboat lost its meaning
The ocean never ends
Beneath the waves the crew is sinking
Never heard Again
The trees have changed with night fall
The path has split again
Running from the wolves call
Never heard Again
The first thing you say is they’ll not be forgotten
Then you put them away and try to move on
All of your strength won’t erase the fact that their gone
Because the memories we make are meant to stay
Leaning toward the echoes
As a wishful coin descends
Into the well she follows
Never heard Again
The first thing you say is they’ll not be forgotten
Then you put them away and try to move on
All of your strength won’t erase the fact that their gone
Because the memories we make are meant to stay
Along the road they are winding
Wheels below them spin
The edge called like a siren
Never heard Again
The first thing you say is they’ll not be forgotten
Then you put them away to try and move on
All of your strength won’t erase the fact that their gone
Because the memories we make are meant to stay

Take Away
04:08
|
|||
|
You raise your eyes and catch the sun
A moment blind, then undone
And it pains you to look away
Did something shine through you look away
You walk a wire to stay above
You still have miles to overcome
Take the long view then walk away
Don't look behind you, just walk away
Too many fires at every turn
You're growing tired and let them burn
When people drain you they take away
When others blame you they take away

Crazy Horse
04:08
|

|
When you find you’re lost again on familiar ground
Every bet you’re turning in has been doubled down
There’s a pair of eyes on you, You can feel the stare
No need to turn around when you know who’s there
She’s a Crazy horse
A sinner’s saint
She’ll take you in
Without complaint
Now the Smart ones would have made a safer choice
But now it’s far too late, recognize the voice
Drawing closer now, you’re against the wall
She starts to lean on you until you fall
She’s a crazy horse
A sinner’s saint
She’ll pin you down
Without restraint
Sinking in as you walk away
This place you’ve been isn’t where you’ll stay
Oh no
She’s a crazy horse
A sinner’s saint
She’ll let you go
To find your way

Searchlights
05:14
|
|||
|
Moon filled waves will lift you up
Winter swells will turn you around
Tides will change to bring home
When you arrive you float face down
Search lights, can’t find my Spirit
Firelight, can’t warm my soul
Stage light, I only fear it
Daylight, my path is shown
Desert sand will kiss your face
Dunes like lovers arms surround
Mother earth she will embrace
When your body is underground
Search lights, can’t find my Spirit
Firelight, can’t warm my soul
Stage light, I only fear it
Daylight, my path is shown
Darkness is cold that never fades
Brightness is lies of every shade
Colored gravel lines your road
Swing the rock to break your chain
Far too many knives to hone
Soon a stone will mark your place
