Where are we going? 05:05
lyrics
buy track
I wasted my youth On strong convictions Rattling suspicions Now what am I to do Now that it's gone All done and gone? Am I what I'm supposed to be If only Am I coming through Why don't you (Ooh) Colour me green But I still want to Need to be free A hell complete To be held under Someone else's covers Am I what I'm supposed to be If only Am I coming through Why don't you (Ooh) I sold off my youth To be late on the rent For a promise never kept Was it the same for you Well you're born and then you die For a while you've got to live it through Am I what I'm supposed to be If only Am I coming through Why don't you (Ooh)

Golden Tone 03:20
lyrics
buy track
Common features of a coming fall A string of failures and some alcohol Still—nothing doing, nothing done Bring on the sun It's no secret that some coming time Will look different than what I call mine Getting back to where it begun Bring on the sun It's the same old Golden tone Shining out of frozen stone Happiness, You and me, Once again seen as friends Stars you can still see California is a state of mind So they tell me all wrapped in rhyme Something about how it's all one Bring on the sun It's the same old Golden tone Shining out of frozen stone Happiness, You and me, Once again seen as friends Stars you can still see

Million 04:08
lyrics
buy track
Is there longing In your life Sights on distant dreams Do you know What your chances are Of making that scene They're one in A million It's the same As anything Day folds into day Have you noticed When robins fly There's nothing in the way It's bloody Brilliant So there's something Keeping you here Or leading you astray If you could only See yourself You might incline to say You're one in A million

Meditations/Waves 05:13
lyrics
buy track
Do you feel it now That fleeting, golden glow That's the light It comes from beneath your mind The only thing you need know Know Know Is it you I know Have we met before Climbing up that ladder Just eight spokes on a wheel Turning 'round Round Round and round Heavy breathing Heavy load Is that love you're feeling Or just the fear of letting go Go Go Testament to steps we've taken Some big leaps we're still making If you're like me, often mistaken You know how hearts unwind It comes in waves That grim heartbreak In between sunny days We're only here a while A while None can ease you of the pain They've all got theirs just the same You can do all you want to numb it It always comes back again It comes in waves That grim heartbreak In between sunny days We're only here a while A while

Dewie Heavenstone Reisling 03:50
lyrics
buy track
There's an urgency That is calling From another Side of me One responsible For all my revelry But in this world Nothing comes free "Ooh we have to go out", he said "Time's a-wastin'" Dewie Heavenstone Reisling Lost in his head (again) Made in mettle And fired for latency Why'd I have to go And get so hard on me It takes but a whisper A song sung quietly But if good is good at something It's brevity It's sideways All the way "Ooh we have to go out", he said "Time's a-wastin'" Dewie Heavenstone Reisling Lost in his head (again)

Thunder on the Mountain 04:37
lyrics
buy track
In days of absent grace Seems best to play it close Then risk the outside chance Of wasting, going broke There's thunder on the mountain If you stop and hear it roll There's thunder on the mountain Every step a little slow Some fortitude, some wine, A bag man to do the time Still it won't matter much When you've run out of luck There's thunder on the mountain If you stop and hear it roll There's thunder on the mountain Every step a little slow Don't tire of the weeds my friends Though it may cost so much to work There's more on the wind Than where the shoreline breaks the surf There's thunder on the mountain If you stop and hear it roll There's thunder on the mountain Every step a little slow

Lamplighter 03:29
lyrics
buy track
Lamplighter, how you go off in the dark Shining light into the points of you That never see the stars It's taken years of my life To tell you my heart still blooms I can't say why As a song Like bells on the air Love rings on You can hear it anywhere Hang out, it's all right somehow The strings they play are still making waves On the air you're breathing now As a song Like bells on the air Love rings on You can hear it anywhere

As I breathe 02:13
lyrics
buy track
As I breathe I see it laid Out in front of me A culminating Life of dreaming And all its feeling Fine, now I think Better than fine I can breathe For the first Time in years Or so it seems Out of reach No more Out of reach It's here, now, unfolding Overflowing and free

Dawn 02:48
lyrics
buy track
Everything is staked upon Surviving what's already drawn And it seemed worth it Just to wait a while Wait a while Not sure it was right or wrong To leave you hanging for so long There was just something I had to find Had to find It's killing me as it's killing you Time and space or something new That spread us out from Here my dawn Here my dawn It's what makes the world go round Lonesome longing that makes a sound Singing "oh I love you" Calling out Calling out I see you when I close my eyes When open they see only lies It aches, the difference In our sights In our sights It's what makes the world go round Lonesome longing that makes a sound Singing "oh I love you" Calling out Calling out

Automatic 03:26
lyrics
buy track
Sun shining on my back Raining on my mind Colours folding into shape Your love folding into mine It may feel automatic The way that it goes down But it ain't static I can count the times I knew what to say Words failing me as often As night turns into day It may feel automatic The way that it goes down But it ain't static So I cut it down Keep it short and true Will you hear me this time, I'm calling now What else can I do It may feel automatic The way that it goes down But it ain't static

The sun is up 05:10
lyrics
buy track
Hello my friend, Come on out of my head Put your feet down again And take a breath Long, and fresh Right away Now you're here After so many years Recall songs we used to hear In the city Well they packed it in Raised the rents and called an end To the lighter days of sin Now you better run Button down, no more fun Right away It'll burn you out The one you shut up Forsake within "just for now" Man it's calling And you better listen Right away
