Wild Hawk Sky

|
In the dry heat of summer the wild hawk screams
And if you listen close you start to hear what he means
After months and months of snow and ice
The bright orange sun feels kinda nice
It feels nice, feels nice, it feels nice
It feels nice, feels nice, I guess it feels alright
And there’s a feeling in my stomach, it’s churning me like butter
When I look at you my beating heart can’t help but to flutter
I’ve been waiting such a long long time
For a feeling like this one to come on down the line
So come on, and come on, and come on down the line
So come on, and come on, and come on down the line
And we just past mile nine
Through the Jackson County Line
On the long long road through Tennessee
It was storming all night long but now the rain has stopped
And the way you make me feel it’s like my lungs are gonna pop
When I take your hand I’m immediately aware
Of the incredibly impossible lack of air
And my breath, my breath, you take my breath away
And my breath, my breath, you take my breath away
And if you think that’s impressive well you ain’t seen nothing yet
I know your body better than I know the alphabet
I’ve got a road map scaled at ¾ size
But somehow I can still manage to get lost in your eyes
I get la-la-la-la-la-la lost, lost in your eyes
I get la-la-la-la-la lost, lost in your eyes
And we’ve only just begun
We’re long past mile one
Underneath the burning sun
Firing faster than a machine gun
On the long long road through Tennessee
On the long long road through Tennessee

Eyes Open Wide
02:43
|

You’ve got to keep your head up
You’ve got to fight through the dust
And come out the other side
With your eyes open wide
No matter what they tell you
Don’t let the cold words get through
And make their way inside
You better keep it off your mind
Take a good look around
To the sky and the ground
And up to the trees
And take in the breeze
But when you feel all alone
Way down in your bones
You can lean on me
And take a moment to breath
You’ve got to keep your head up
You’ve got to fight through the dust
And come out the other side
With your eyes open wide

On My Way
01:27
|
|||
|
Not sure where to go
It ain’t too late to slow down
And take a look around
Tap a shoulder on the street
Don’t care who I meet today
Cause I’m on my way to you

Goodbye, Helsinki
02:34
|

If you come back today
When I’ve been staring at the door
Stay the hell out of my way
I’ve got the devil in store
And deep in my mind
Where I’ve done it countless times before
All of my stars align
And I will break through that door
But I’m not sure just where I would go
Maybe I’d move to Alabama or New Mexico
I hope I will survive
Your cryptic voice in the hall
Is all that I can hear
I see the patterns on the wall
As your suffocating presence draws near
So this is where it begins
Where the ending is so perfectly clear
I feel it crawling under my skin
And I know my time is here
Please don’t take this as me running away
I’m just trying to live to see another day
Hear me I am alive

Ash and Dust

Through the window, the morning light came.
I called out to you, but I forgot your name.
It’s been a long year without you my friend,
And I wonder if the nightmares will end.
I hope that you are happier now,
Wherever you are.
I’d carry it all, the pain in your heart.
If only I knew where to start.
All of these words I wish I could say.
I’d give it all up for just one more day.
I hope that you are happier now,
Wherever you are.

A Song For Highway 95
01:54
|
|||
|
Laying with you in the sand
With a lock of your hair in my hand
As wind from the north and west blows in
The casual look in your eye
Burns like a torch in the sky
As the world all around starts to spin
Heavy eyelids falling fast
Looking back on days gone past
It’s been a long night on the road
The engine scares the deer away
The thought of you keeps the fear at bay
It’s been a long night on the road

Junkyard Desperation
02:38
|

|
In the frozen winter air
I could have sworn I saw you cry
In my just as frozen heart
I swear I wanted to ask why
But the moon itself was rising
We were running out of light
Our problems never felt more real
Than when they danced all through the night
That’s when it all became clear
I was never coming back here again
I just can’t bring myself to feel
The things I wanna feel
It’s way too easy now
To say it’s all not real
But my face is now stupid
And my brain even more so
My heart is filled with
Things that yours will never know
That’s when it all became clear
That I was never coming back here again
That’s when it all became clear
I was never coming back here again

Just Outright Kill Me
03:09
|
|||
|
When I wake up all alone
In the back of my home
The world is frozen
The world is frozen outside
I hope the snow falls down forever
I hope it never goes away
I get up out of bed
And I try to clear my head
But I am dying
I am dying inside
The picture from our day
At the Alamitos Bay
Is on my window
Is on my window sill
Did you put it there
Why did you put it there
Maybe next time you’re feeling so kind
You could just outright kill me
Outright kill me
Yeah maybe next time you’re feeling so kind
You could just outright kill me
Outright kill me

The Last of Us
03:57
|
|||
|
When I look you in your eyes
I see a world gone by
I know nothing can bring me back
And I have a heart attack
When I see you in there
We’ve lost our way along the road
We can hear the concrete floors below
But I won’t give up
You and I are the last of us
When you look at me I can see
Just who I was meant to be
It’s all on the table now
But nothing matters anyhow
So hold on tight
In your arms I can’t let go
I’ve done things that you will never know
Yeah, I won’t give up
You and I are the last of us
I won’t give up
You and I are the last of us

Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears,
While we all sup sorrows with the poor;
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears;
Oh! Hard times come again no more.
While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay,
There are frail forms fainting at the door;
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say
Oh! Hard times come again no more.
It’s the song, the sigh of the weary,
Hard times, hard times, come again no more
Many days have you lingered around my cabin door;
Oh! Hard times come again no more.
There's a pale drooping maiden who toils her life away,
With a worn heart whose better days are o'er:
Though her voice would be merry, it’s sighing all the day,
Oh! Hard times come again no more.
It’s a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave,
It’s a wail that is heard upon the shore
It’s a dirge that is murmured from around the lowly grave
Oh! Hard times come again no more.
It’s the song, the sigh of the weary,
Hard times, hard times, come again no more
Many days have you lingered around my cabin door;
Oh! Hard times come again no more.
Oh! Hard times come again no more.
