Little Wooden Boat

Here goes my Little wooden boat
over the deep dark sea
Gotta get across
You were meant for me
And though I'm all alone
Sea is gettin' rough
Though I'm always told
I am not enough
Chorus:
I'm gonna make my dreams come true
I'm gonna make my dreams come true
The sky is lookin grim
The anchor's been lost
I will reach you still
Though I'm tempest tossed
And when I feel this lost,
And the horizon never ends
Days so desolate
I'll remember then
(Chorus)
Well I've been lost and lonely
ridin out these waves
But I can see the perfect skies
Shinin through the haze
(Chorus)
We're all just tiny human beings
Doomed to sail a restless sea
We can sail on suffering
Or set our sorrows free
We're gonna make our dreams come true
We're gonna make our dreams come true...

Old Crows

Old crows fly home on a Sunday
Dark wings wide
Down here gets a little lonely
While I watch, while I wait
as they fly
when winter blows its ragged breath
and shards of you are all that's left
then spring comes down on a great wide wing
the trees make sound
the crows will sing
Old crows fly home on a Sunday...
when summer shines your footprints fade
but where you've gone its hard to say
when autumn leaves, the shifting skies
mean now its time
to say goodbye
Old crows fly home on a Sunday
Dark wings wide
Down here gets a little lonely
While I watch, while I wait
While I watch, while I wait
While I watch, while I wait
As they fly...

Winter Man
03:59

Winter Man, like a trembling leaf
Blew in from the north one August week
He had eyes like razors hands of earth
Singing songs I'd never heard before
He sang about his leaving and second chances lost
I could hear the heartache in his song
I was drawn to the wreckage, I could not resist
A call that I'd been hearing for so long
When he sang, it was clear
Day heard night's siren call
And knew as she was rising
She would fall
Among the yellow birches, on tracks above your town
Orion hovered aiming for our hearts
We sang every song we knew, verses and refrain
Voices rose above the wind and then softly fell apart
On bones and stones we took your town by storm
Plans were made and open roads appeared
We went walking backward to see the tracks we laid
There we met the shadows that we feared
But when we sang there was hope
Sun felt moon's lonely call
And knew as they were rising
They would fall
Beyond the trouble here
Beyond the hope and fear
When the swallows learn to fly
We will sing a soft goodbye
Beyond these shadows all our tears will dry
Winter Man disappeared just before the thaw
Rivers raged beneath the frozen ground
Little leaf I let you go, grateful now I know,
That sometimes being lost is better off than being found
And oh Winter Man you were right
Oh my dear, you said it all
That everything that rises must fall

Last Days
03:54
|

These are the last days, a storm’s blowin’ in
Earth shakes her back, she warns us again
High on a hillside, a tree stands all alone
Looking out over miles of wire and cities of stone
Now it's rations of hope
We hold in our pockets like a last hit of dope
Out of a dark sky a lonely eagle flies
There’s nowhere to land. She doesn’t ask why
CHORUS:
Oh we could be children in the garden
We could be waves inside the wind
But we build our towers higher
And we dig ourselves deeper in
We are running on empty promises,
And hollow kisses on the cheek
We are dealing with the Devil my friends,
But the goods they come so cheap
But we could be
(Oh, what we could be)
Nobody remembers when the tides turned
And no one can tell you why the rivers burned
Or how the seas rose or where to lay the blame
It's just an ocean of suffering… for a thimble of gain
CHORUS:
Oh we could build ourselves a paradise
We have the means within our reach
Instead of endless war, and dying whales
Stranded on the beach
We could be children in the garden
We could be rising up in song
We could carry those who cannot stand
And right our every wrong
What we could be, oh
What we could be, oh
When we hand this world over, how will it look?
For those who come after, could we rewrite the book?
The book of our Last Days, it is not carved... in stone

Around the Bend
04:48
|

Danny Boy was dancing in the colored light of day
We drove the clouds into the ocean, watched them roll away
I could hear you breathing, and I said a silent grace
suspend me here forever, inside this time and place
And if I'm only dreaming and we cannot scale this wall,
May the ocean raise its arms and catch us where we fall
Across a lonely continent you will hear me call
And I will go on dreaming... love will save us all
Clear cuts broke the tree line and light defined the land
Our shadows folded into one and danced along the sand
The climb was steep and twisted, around another bend
lay the great Pacific, a promise to extend
Let the bees keep buzzing, may the red kite's sway
Lift our vision high enough to see a better way
And if this day must die here, let the memory stay
And let me go on dreaming... love will save the day
Oh underneath a hollow tree, far above the swirl,
Hoping every breath I take will stop
The turnings of this world
Now I go on hoping the messages I send
Ride the rolling surf until they reach you friend
For what is bruised and broken surely wants to mend
And grace it is an ocean just around the bend
And I will go on dreaming
I will go on dreaming... love will save us in the end.

This River
04:52
|

When Darkness Calls
And my house on the hill is
Shut up and silent I
Breathe in the chill
And the waiting begins
Like the whole world's at bay
Darkness has promised me
Just one more day
CHORUS
And by day this river bathes me
I never knew that it would save me
from my past
And the light in this place
Is frozen in memory
Where soft sullen lullabies
Drifted in sweetly
And parted the night
With their holy refrain
And you could not promise me
One more day
CHORUS
I am merely passing through here
Hoping with my lonely heart
I believe you look right through me
You don't see me come apart
I believe you can't imagine what I see
CHORUS
