Leave the Forest
02:59
|

Is the heaven opening tonight?
Saw the little ones, saddle up then
Break the bread, shuck the corn
I’m gonna give you one more song about calling
It goes…
Is the heaven opening tonight?
Heard my little bitty god say “saddle up man”
Out the fire with the wine
If you take the call leave by morning
How can I be raising two little ones
On the little I take home
How can I be raising two little ones
With the big one calling and our keep keeps dusting away
Will I ever take the opening?
Will I ever saddle up King?
Leave the house…
Leave the forest….
Will I ever be the one who is calling?
If the heaven opens tonight
I’d take the call by first light
kiss the head of the sleeping boy
It’s the one that you’d die for

Three for the One
02:16
|
|||
Back home I had a little bit more
Let’s call it rain
And though a little hard to see the lane
I got back on my bone
Back then I saw a little bit more
Let’s call them days
And if I wanted it was hard to make
I had a picture of her heart
One trip to the corner
Two trips to the learn
Three trips to the one who got loved
Back then I hauled a little bit more
Let’s call it freight
And if the end was hard to make
I’d take a rest on the shore
I’d never let the hardships weigh
Tipping the scale
I know it was hard some days
I kept a picture of the lawn that had
One tear in the corner
Two chairs on the porch
Three trees for the one who got loved

Rolling Prairie
03:19
|
|||
Heaven help the one I miss
The one I drove away
I spent too long with nothing to say
Heaven is enough for her to have it her way
I know we dreamt of a day we'd find a way
You've been down and empty and I've been feeling nothing
I got sick last year the kind you know that's always been there
You've been loud and angry and you'll take all the money
And I'll go to the prairie out of harm's way
God bless the memories
The ones I couldn't keep
She's got them all keeping me away
Heaven help the one I miss
The one I've never met
i know we dreamt of a day when we could raise

Battering Ram
04:36
|

Where do you live?
In a bungalow?
Craftsman?
in the old Victorian?
Down, down in cabbagetown
With the rolling mill
The factory sounds
A southern mill town
Where do you live?
A row house?
A queen anne?
A tudor revival tenament?
Up, up in New York City
The Bronx are up the Battery's down
A northern trade town
Where do you live?
C-a-b-b-a-g-e town down, down in cabbage town
N-e-w Y-and-o-r-k up, up in New York City

Deep Down and Do Believe
02:16
|
|||
Every time I leave’s like coming back
You cannot run from this or that
If you hear the call, get back on the track
The track of it all
Working all day just to fill her up
Every one looks like they’re tired and fed up
If you hear the call, let it be enough
Even if it’s not right
I got a little bit of life in me yet
It’s not enough to pay the debt
I got a little bit of love in me yet
But not enough for it to be met
I got a little time to rest
But not enough to feel my best
I’ve got a little bit of money left for my big escape
Back down on the working track
If you get the chance to take it like that
Take it to the moon, and never come back
I won’t be hard on you
If I ever said hi I’d ever say back
I got you and you got the one I won’t do

The Side of Returning
02:40
|
|||
I was dreaming of something else there
It wasn’t about me
No it was a highway gone somewhere
Remind me…
It’s not something I have in my rear
So let me go
Cause in my way
I’m gone
To the claim of another love
Heart, not soul which takes it all
But maybe when I am on the side of returning
I could find its use…

Deep Black
01:40
|
|||
How do I lay the hard one down?
The back road…
The lake…
The one that you hate
Can not be rescued near or how
The why’s…
The waits…
The one I bathe
Black, black
The eyes do sag
The ‘I can’s’ back
The boat’s due back
Deep black, black,
Deep black, deep black
It’s so good to lay here in silence
How do I lay a hard one in?
Can I lift it up and show it to a friend?
Would you like the way it whips?
The way it woes?
The way it goes?
And away it goes…

Cow Calls
04:07
|
|||
I’ve never had to flee my fleet
I’ve always had a comrade in combat with me
I’ve never had to flee my fleet
I’ve always had a comrade in combat with me
I’ve never had to flee my fleet
I’ve always had a comrade come back for me
I’ve seen it clear away the slate that I wrote on
And I’ve seen it kill my ways like the horse that I rode in on
Too many of laws are waiting for call
The call the gather
All around the gate that I once sawed the lock off
Too many of my herd have fallen for the lure of a lock off
Too many of my songs have lost the the will to call me
Too many of my cows have lost the will to call

Dancing and Railing
02:56
|
|||
In my mind I go dancing
All on down by the railroad straight
There my lady goes dancing
Up on the railing
I'm an angry one, but when I see her dancing...
In my mind I go dancing
All on down where the railroad's straight
It's so good seeing you dancing
Cause you ain't dancing here
You ain't dancing here…
You ain't dancing here…
I was in love with your tremble and I was in love with your shake
I was in love the trouble that gave you need for me
I was in love with your temple, how I kissed it all the way…
I miss you dancing, dancing on me
In my mind we're still dancing
I do not know where we went wrong
But little lady she dances
Singing songs of the rail
She sings songs of the rail
Songs of the rail

Common Doom
02:49
|
|||
When you walk out on me I'll have a late start
When you walk out on me I'll have a cold heart
You say I talk too much
You say I drink a lot
You say that caring's more than living in the same house
You say I love in part…
...the part without a heart
You say I live too hard that you've got to pray for mine
And in that desperate kind you've been left behind
I'll brag in a fog about losing it all
You say I blame on you
You say that I don't think it through
You say I don't respond and I won't get help from anyone
You say I fall apart if fault lingers in any old remark

May Here Be Enough
03:05
|
|||
May here be enough
May here be enough
You are not around
I miss you tenderly
Low, low is where I go
Low, low is where I go
You are going home
I miss you tenderly
Come in from the dark
You had loved like that before
I was dreaming you said come home with you
It was all I dreamed you’d ask me
May here come back
May here come back
You are not around
Let me hide in you when you leave
Low, low is where I go
Low, low is where I go
A world is now all without you
But I will miss you tenderly

Run to the Wolf
02:22
|
|||
I like the way that your hand slips on the wall
With the blackened, blackened overalls
And the ones that you’re with say give it all
But I know that I’d never trap me in a key
When the little one leaves
You’re looking like you might cheat
Can I trust you in the sun?
Practice being calm one
The two of you are already done
I like the way that we could just leave it all
Move back, and back we’d up and lord
But that ones that you’re with say give it all
And I know that you’d never have enough with me
Your little hand is set free
You’re looking like you’re below leaves
Can I trust your name, and I
Practice being calm one
The two of you are already done

New Morning Clover
03:15
|
|||
I hope for you better
In all your ways, in all your ways
I hope for you better
For troubles gone, oh for troubles gone
Cause I tend to wrong you
I am a long way from view
Whatever you want you can have it
You can have it all
I don't want a single thing except some time alone
Everyone's been talking about a memory or three
Just take me to the river and let the river carry me
Though it gets lonesome
In every way, in every way
I'd rather it than staying
And trouble anyone, trouble anyone
I like the new morning clover
I just roll and roll and roll
|

Oh, Glassy Glades!
02:51
|
|||
In the morning I’ve been struggling to start it
The day is barely anything if anything at all
I travel to the store and back to close my eyes
I’m trying hard to liven
Holding out for rallying
Cause in the morning you get up and I’m just arriving
And when the light comes through my window I start again
The coffee’s warm, I let it sit and watch
The film atop it’s making
Soon I’ll microwave it
I’ve been holding out for something yet to come if I can make it
Or maybe holding out is to make it
Cause if the morning doesn’t stop its hardening
And every turn I turn tightens me to the room
I am gonna stop going to bed all
I’d rather I went crazy then trying to awaken
|

Dark One
04:07
|
|||
Here’s to the ones that got away
Expecting prophecy
But it’s my life and I want it home on the range of my wonder
Which is where I’ll stay tonight with the dark one
Here in the airport
Here in the subway
I walk slower when it’s getting away
Turn up the radio
Listen to the dark one on the radio
It’s the dark one
Here in Midas
There in Medusa
I get lost in bodies on the radio
It’s the dark one
Here’s to the ones that got away
I expected more from me
And it’s my life and I let it foreclose the range of my wonder
So find me tonight with the dark one

There is an aimless mountain
There is a calmer stream
Where part of the mountain drifts aimlessly
Let’s find a rebel
Let’s find a means
Let’s leave and drift and breach the harder things
But if you eat the rind, oh if you eat the rind
It’ll get you every time
That’s what you said to me
And if you live your life as if to leave your life
It’ll get you every time…
…and it’s good to be got
Back up the mountain
Just to see it move
Try to loosen up again
And be a better fool
Cause I've got an east coast temper
And I wish it gone
I'm bound up in limits that I have too long fought

Jerome

Somewhere in the land
I leave a little case which keeps my hands
And if I need to go away
Well I go there to know that it withstands
When I fight I don’t fight for you
When I fight I don’t fight for you
When I fight I don’t fight for you
I go all the way down fighting the river that you’re in
When you don’t go where I go
Out of the city
Out of the city
Fighting the way, trying to get out of the place I am in to where I’m from
It’s somewhere in the land…
I left a little land for to paddin’ up my plans
And if I need to I’ll play dead
So I can get a moment I can stand

Of the Desert
02:40
|
|||
I’ve been calling your name into the vacant
I’ve been calling your number for the last five minutes
And all we know is you’re waiting for replacements
But we want to know why you’re leaving us now
I’ve been calling your name into my mouth now
I’ve been calling your pistol for the last four years
Booked a train and bought you a jelly roll
But I want to know why you’re leave me now
Cause every time I hurt you haunts me
Makes me want a shell deep and heavy
But if you defy your army
I will, I will, I will not get out of this trench alive
How will I get out of this trench alive?
I’ve been calling your name into the vacant
I’ve been calling your number for the last five minutes
And as I start to see replacements
It shows me that you’re not around
When called your name I drafted latency
I knew that the first time I met you, Jay
No it’s of your face I cannot wait to see
No saint could ever keep you from me

Slow the Court
02:34
|
|||
It’s always a crowd, always a crowd
It’s always a crowd and in your eyes
I’m only a lucky one, and so round
It’s always the line, always the line yeah
It’s always the line, and I see you
Always through glass, and I meet eye
You’ve been sitting on the corner, yeah
Every perfect morning, yeah
And I play a game, oh I play a game now
I move in a body, you fall
I slow the court, but you do round
Will I see, will I see you somewhere out in a solid place?
You somewhere out in a solid place
I’m waiting for solid baby to come away

Hot Hand (On the Round)
02:27
|
|||
I cannot go there but I can trade it in
I cannot go there no, I know, I know you’ve been
I cannot go there, no I’ve been banned again
Where I want to go now is sure of an in
Hot hands on the round
Two down…
I cannot hold on
I cannot bend
I cannot run
I cannot fault him
I cannot go one more day in this swelling
Looking out for this world
I can’t stay in
Hot hands on the round
With two in the ground
I’m so far in this song
I can’t bring you along
I’m a bull talking alone
Weighing in with psalm
I cannot go there but I can trade it in
I cannot go there no, I know, I know you’ve been
I cannot go, and I cannot abandon and I cannot go on playing it down
With hot hands on the round and two down

Farther and Farther
02:21
|
|||
I got caught up
And I went farther
And then I went farther than anyone outta
When all is said and done
I guess it was never understood
That time can’t keep this one
That time can’t make this work
When I got caught up
It went darker
It went darker than anything outta

Leaving and Splitting
03:25
|
|||
Now it's four days that I can't sleep
In a back room covering my face
Four days with three more I can't take
How can I be listening to anything but the sound it's making?
Day, oh my room will haunt you
Day, oh my room will close in on you
Three more days now till I'm leaving
Now it's five days of steady heartache
I tried to end it on a break, but...
Five days with two more I can't take
How can I be leaving if there ain't no place I'm staying?
Call that a room, it'll haunt you...
Call that a room, it'll close in on you...
Two more days now I guess I'm leaving
Now it's six days with a dripping in the sick
Splitting up my brain calling off all games...
With one more i can't take
How can I be ready if I don't know where I'm heading?
I'm a room, I’ll haunt you
i'm a room, I’ll close in on you
One more day now I'm leaving
Now it's today that I'm leaving my place, my trace
Today, with nothing I can't take
It’s been too long of waiting now
It's time to be going
To find a new room to haunt you
Find a new room to close in on you
No more days now today I'm leaving
|

For Comrade
03:12
|
|||
Well I head for you
The way you’d head out for me
And I can be your friend
I will always be friend
But if I fail you
You won’t ever be finding me
Cause I could not explain why I’m always in shame
So long to my brothers, so long to my friends
In the bunker we all play dead
So long to my sisters, so long to my friends
We were comrades but I won’t see you again
Cause you were captured in fallout
You, you, you were captured in fall out
So long to my lover
So long to my kin
We were comrades but I won’t see you again
|

Abandon
02:24
|
|||
I want to see the thing
I go there to be near it, and that’s why I go to it
Don’t worry about the name
They’ve been worrying about it since she was first around him
You can stay with her if you keep going
You can stay with her if you don’t worry
I didn't go on a day that you were mine
I didn't go on a day that you were mine
I only went on a day that you were gone
I didn’t go that day no I don’t want to find that you are not mine
I’ve been losing sleep
Thinking all the ways around it
And how I should have found it
Now it’s summer and I can’t shake it
Come on and shake it
|
||||
25. |
||||
Ban the way I look and soften the way I talk
I let my leg slip
Cause why, why would I want a car that dragged me for too long?
Baby said rock, baby said roll
Maybe it’s for keeps then
I was allowed to stay with you while you were leaving
Ban the way I coo and soften my bellow
Do you like it when they call you a locust?
No, no but I can’t stand to be crow

Mingled, Mingling
04:41
|
|||
This life has been a disappointment
This life has been one thing, one after another
I took it hand in hand
Did a lot of it wrong
I didn't hear the words
Told the words they were wrong
Kept a big old stash down by the open road
Said it was mine alone and no one can help me, no
I ran from hope
Especially in the form of knowing
Where the good next one's gonna come from
No you should never know where the good next one's gonna come from
This life has been a disappointment
This life has been spells, doubts, and reposing
Mingling with the wrong good people
I took them hand in hand
Did a lot of them wrong
Though I'd love to roam with the great ones in the light of day
Instead I told them off with the temperament of knowing
Where the good next one's gonna come from
No you should never know where the good next one's gonna come from

Passing on Patience
03:14
|
|||
I'm passing on patience
There's nothing harder I've learned
I'll pass mine to someone for whom waiting around here adorns
In the lonely days of life I pass all that's good by
To find it again would keep me waiting, my friend
And I can't be held to begin with
In the heavy-laden day although anxiously tense
I have nowhere to go
I have no one to know
So my patience if used would go to waste
Although there's everlasting shame that I feel in a place
It will be there anyway
If i run, if I stay
At least to run makes me feel like a maze

It Will Too Later Ache
03:05
|
|||
I tried to find an ending
It was emotionally upending
You were sad to find that
You were emotionally offended
You’ll find that there are just oceans at that ending
Tried to find an ending it was multiple if any
You were sad to find that an ending is just an ending
You’ll find that It’s emotional regardless of an ending
Backing off because I know her
I’m backing off because I
Backing off because I know her
Oh watch me finally bow to you
Tried to eat some candy but it was already a headache
Try to save the wrapping but it gave itself to the wind and that’s okay
You’ll find that even if you save the sweet it will too later ache
If you save the sweet it will too later ache (you’ll find an ending)
Tried to eat some found things they were found atop ground (you’ll find an ending)
You’ll find that If it looks like it belongs, it doesn’t…
