You Promised
02:18
|

You say it's on,
Like a vampire on the phone.
Calling all souls to home.
Let's say it's true,
There's six more things to do.
You know the type.
All of similar stripe, doing everything at night.
A King of cons. To his tower hanging on.
You promised me an answer,
With your last dying breath, I accept.
It's not what you were after but laughter you don't get.
Makes you upset.
You wear the pants,
An aggressive stance no one else will get a chance.
You say it's true,
The miracle is you.
I feel the lo of something
Pocahantas grab your bow and a foe.
The arrows only matter,
When your aim is true, straight at you.
Raging is on,
Like a battle on the Sun solar flares at noon.
I'll get my gum and chew it straight at you.
With a fool that's what you do.

Like the Sun

Each time that you go
Best part of me leaves.
Just grass without green,
Maybe a water-less stream.
Your smile it's the cure
Straightens my back
Helps fill in the cracks
Keeps my heart from going flat.
When you're around I find
Myself likewise inclined.
Things that you do
Make me want you more
Days without you the're a bore.
Pointless getting up from the floor.
Is there such a thing
As loving too much? What stuff!
I'll never have my fill of you
I feel so renewed.
Feels like the Sun shining down when you smile.
The tears when they fall it's so I
Can stand tall and straight for a while
Until the clouds clear and you feel alright.
Sound bites and blue light,
Wake up around midnight
To pee you typing furiously
I say something funny
You smile at me and I
Fall back asleep.
It's like the Sun shining down when you smile...

I Waited So Long
02:56
|

I waited so long for you,
To sing my favorite song.
Something soft but sweet like me.
Like something from a memory.
I really, really, really
Kinda really need for you to see
That I'm a sailor on a sail boat
Sailing on an inland sea.
I waited so long to find
Believe the term for this is piece of mind.
Now a calm on us descends. Find yourself forgetting
When it starts and when it ends.
Fellas I'm a solo acapella
Singing slightly out of key.
Blame it on my age but i'm
Grateful for the stuff that comes between.
I waited oh so long,
I waited oh so long,
I've waited longer than
Anyone's ever done
Save for that Top 40 band
Playing in Des Moines.
I waited so long you see
Now I know you like my ABCs
That's the thing about getting close
Like slipping into favorite clothes.
I waited oh so long,
I waited oh so long,
I waited longer than
Anyone's ever done
Save for the guy pushing
Jesus tracts in Dubuque.

Feels the Same
03:31
|

I was thinking just the other day,
What a fine, fine time we had.
Me in a thousand pictures every which way,
Smiles to beat the band.
That's us sinking in the suds,
In a clawfoot tub with views along the shore.
Being young, singing songs seemed fun,
These songs I sung I high 'em all on your door.
Let me break it down in simple pieces so
If our places changed you would always know
I felt the same.
Sun sets shadows getting long
There's a song there if only I can wait.
Verses come when they do from unknown sources,
But I'm grateful just the same.
So sign it loud and sing it true,
There's not much time and so much left to do.
We'll run it through one more time and call it done,
I need you near to finish this old song.
Fight my way through all these words and phrases that,
Tie my hands behind me make me wonder if
You felt the same.
You got it wrong you picked up the phone,
I heard you laugh your mom said "Who's that?"

Summertime
03:09
|
|||
Hillsides of golden grass
Swaying in a dance
summer time the way
It's always been.
Coastal fog
hides the
Fiercest sun beware it will
Burn your skin
Every single track
Every cowpath, switch back
circles back to time when
I was young.
In my boots,
I stood 10 ft tall
Towering over
one and all
The pool feels cold
Agianst my skin
Watching ellow jackets swim
They bite you then bite him
Feels like it something
We just got right
Feels like it's something
We just got right
Mm hm
That's right.
We hike all day
To the Nike missle base
You heard me say
There's ghosts around that place.
Picken lichen
Of the cement walls
Tugin on the iron rings.
We drew some map
and made our way.
cross rancher's fence in May
Those were some days
Feels like it's something
We just got right.

You and Me
03:14
|

You and me,
It's a business bring your dog and we'll see.
Four legged friend loyal to the end,
Face every danger with me.
You and me,
If you count my demons make it "three."
Speaking in tongues, wrestling ghosts for fun.
A truer heart than mine you've never seen.
By the grace of gods whose names only you know
I stumble hard. My shin gets barked but we find a way...
You and me,
Driving to a friend's to smoke some weed.
Fighting for my soul while kicking in a goal.
Truer heart than this there's never been.
Ocean slows my thoughts until they float away,
Behind my back down to the crack I feel okay.
You and me.
Been down this road before you saving me.
Voices in my head filling me with dread.
Turvey-topsey times this destiny.
