Bad Old Days

The gentle sound of your breathing, the murmur of the night. The sounds that really belong in music and someday I just might. Meantime I just lie here smiling wide wake at dawn.

Vertigo

Certainty is like a bone. Holding you up until it breaks. Fractures on an Icy river. It's good to know the stakes. . You built us castles on a mountain.

Maxwell

Maxwell was a measured man, played his cards with a heavy hand. Until the day his fortune fell, ask me how I knew him well. Born unto a family, stump in place of a family tree.

Soul Searching

I'm just a man making my way. Sometimes a sinner, sometimes a saint. I carry on, do the best I can. But still I struggle with who I am. . Soul searching.

This Ol' Building

This old building is crumbling down. Ain't no people to gather 'round. this old building is crumbling down to the ground.. . there's no place to hide,.

Freedom

So long to this cage I'm in. I don't belong anywhere I've been. I need a new song as I hit the road again. Into the wind. . Last call on everything in sight.

I Run To You

So many miles, so far from home. All of those nights I woke up alone. When every face tells me I don't belong. It's always been you that keeps me hanging on.

Let Me Know

Off the edge I'm fallin. Can't you hear me callin. Won't you come along into the light. All your questions answered. As we drift into the night. . Will your love be burning.

Sirens

1901: A Canyon Odyssey

1901. There beneath the August sun. A daring survey undertaken on the fly. . Colorado would request. Divert the river water west. For The Uncompahgre Valley was too dry.

Back Home

I've been having a hard time. I want to hear you on the other end of the line. I want the cold wind to blow me back on down the road. . I keep having the same bad dream.

Black Elk

The memory remains. They built an iron road to cross the plains. He was just a child. and the buffalo still were wild. He heard the voices in his head.

Gravity

Saw you from a distance. Swingin' from the high line. All that was before you. vanished in a moment's time. . We thought the race was a long run. We didn't know that we'd win it.

A Hard Life Makes A Good Song

Is your heart beating hard when you see the lawman. Do you feel like you've run your last mile. When you're out in the cold with the blue lights flashin'.

The Love That You Have

Oh my mama told me. 'Cause she say she learned the hard way. Say she want to spare the children. She say don't give or sell your soul away. 'Cause all that you have is your soul.

You Can't Stop The Changes

Ooh, ooh. Ooh, ooh. Ooh, ooh. Ooh, ooh. . When you wake in the morning. And I can tell it's not your best side. No good morning, good day. I stay to the right if I know you're mad.

Where The Rivers Run Cold

If I look like I'm weary. It's only for now. I'll get my rest in the ground. There's a lot left to do. In the time that remains. Before my last sun comes around.

Winds Of Change

Countin' the hours before the dawn,. and the curtain of night is silently drawn.. Through years I've thought had known my love. But now clouds gathered so violently above..

Tragic Life

I'm a long way from home. I don't know where I'll go. I a'int slept in days. And the water's running low. . Got a posse at my back. And bullet in my side.

Still The One

When I was young when I was brave. You took my hand and I took your name. Together we walked. Into the night. Side by side. Under the moonlight. . I had my doubts.
