Hey Magnolia I’m glad to see you
It’s been a while since I’ve been here
Twelve moons have crossed the sky
Feels like more than just a year
I’ve missed the street
I’ve missed the smell of spring
I’ve missed the breeze
I’ve missed everything
How it was when you were here
After the rains and the sky is clear
Hey Magnolia, Hey Magnolia
When morning comes I’m fighting
When the day is done I am through
Spend too long traveling in my dreams
The only time when I’m with you
Hey Magnolia, Hey Magnolia
Life at an angle always brings me back
No matter how I turn the wheel
There’s no getting off this one way track
Do you know how that feels?
Hey Magnolia, Hey Magnolia
Hey Magnolia, Hey Magnolia

Only Passing Time
I thought I’d change the world
But the world changed me
Threw your ashes in the river
Watched them drift towards the sea
You were only passing time
You were only passing time
You were only passing time
You were only passing time
There’s things I haven’t done
That I always thought I would
Some things that I got wrong
Still turned out pretty good
You were only passing time
You were only passing time
You were only passing time
You were only passing time
We suffer with too much
We suffer with too little
All the sages and such
say to aim for the middle
We’re only passing time
We’re only passing time
We’re only passing time
We’re only passing time
We’re only passing time

For A Little While
I left my favorite shirt
In the dryer in your apartment
You left a handful of hurt
Right here in my pocket
At my favorite coffee shop
Sitting in the morning sunlight
We don’t need to talk
We both know it’s all right
When I don’t know the song
Will you help me find it
When I need someone
You know I wouldn’t mind if
You held your body close to mine
For a little while
The ice cream truck rang it’s bell
And we ran out just in time
To sit there on the front porch
You with yours, me with mine
The sunlight on the water
The birds above in flight
We ain’t doing what we oughta
But we both know it’s all right
When I don’t know the song
Will you help me find it
When I need someone
You know I wouldn’t mind if
You held your body close to mine
For a little while

Love That Keeps On Trying
Take me back to that mountain road
The one that led to the swimming hole
The fish I caught with my line and pole
I let em go
I let em go
Do you remember when we were small
They couldn’t tell us a thing at all
We’d ride our bikes too fast and fall
But we’d get up again
we’d get up again
I wish you well and may you find
That kind of love that doesn’t mind
As the days and years go by
love that keeps on trying
Take me down that country lane
Wish I could see those smiles again
It’s gotten harder to see my friends
But not back then
Not back then
Grampa died before I was born
Gramma had to go it alone
But along with the sadness her eyes shone
With more love than I’d ever known
I wish you well and I may you find
That kind of love that doesn’t mind
As the days and years go by
love that keeps on trying
love that keeps on trying

Lost in the Dark
The brightest heart that I ever seen
Got lost in the dark and the in between
And that light can not be replaced
Hard to slow down when all you got is speed
Same old well but now the waters green
I wish that I could see your face
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I can feel it all around me
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I’m so glad you found me
Snow in the summer, California’s burning
Wish I could be there in person
Like everything you ever need
though I know every bodies hurting
With windows closed you can open the curtains
We are all that we can see
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I can feel it all around me
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I’m so glad you found me
Shed your fingerprints take off your cloak
Hum that old refrain again
what rhymes with tomorrow all the poets know
I will still be your friend
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I can feel it all around me
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I’m so glad you found me
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I can feel it all around me
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I’m so glad you found me
I’m taking aim and making bets
We haven’t done the last dance yet
There’s beauty all around us

All the mornings have an echo
All the mornings have an echo
The evenings keep me waiting
The future won’t stop talking
I can’t hear what it’s saying
Who knows how long I’ll be running?
Who knows how long I’ll be gone?
This life is trying to show me something
You‘ve probably known all along
I hope that old floor won’t give you splinters
I know you’ll never run out of yarn
I hope the Maine Coast in Winter
Will wrap you in it’s arms
Who knows how long I’ll be running?
Who knows how long I’ll be gone?
This life is trying to show me something
You‘ve probably known all along
Maybe I’ll move to Colorado
Maybe I’ll find something there
Maybe I’ll keep my finger on the throttle
Till I run out of air
Who knows how long I’ll be running?
Who knows how long I’ll be gone?
This life is trying to show me something
You‘ve probably known all along

Underwater

Underwater
We pressed together
Like two hands in prayer
Heads bowed, Souls singing hallelujah
I swear we’d met before
But I can’t say where
You don’t remember either, do ya?
Imagined futures
Purloined dreams
A cacophony of wishes
I can’t say I know
What all this means
But I can’t help but feel suspicious
I’ve been left
And I’ve done the leaving
This heart in my chest
Somehow keeps on beating
When there ’s nothing left for me to believe in
All this weight that I’ve been holding
I can’t wait another moment
To let it go
The only thing you ever gave me was advice
Back when loneliness was my only friend
I’m not the kind you have to tell twice
I never buy more than I spend
The knot unties
A little at a time
I’m surprised to feel the sun
After the long night and do you think it’s wise
To keep pretending you’re the one
I’ve been left
And I’ve done the leaving
This heart in my chest
Somehow keeps on beating
When there ’s nothing left for me to believe in
All this weight that I’ve been holding
I can’t wait another moment
To let it go
Your armour underwater
Will only drag you down
Waves don’t break underwater
But you can still hear the sound
Hear the sound

At Last You Find

At Last You Find
Where yesterday is closer
Than today will ever be
And the train that you ride nears the end of the line
Thats where you’ll find me
Your hands and your head feel crowded
You’ve heard more than you have seen
Your wish is adrift at the end of your list
Thats where you’ll find me
How long were you searching?
How hard did you try?
Will it all become worth it?
When at last you find…
the flash and the buzz don’t move you
you pull the plug from your screen
your wondering why you can’t see the sky
That’s where you’ll find me
When your name has grown fragile
Like the early frozen leaves
When your big and your small and your nothing at all
That’s where you’ll find me
They tried to govern your wildness
With the comfort of a digital leash
But the the rock and roll in your soul will not be controlled
That’s where you’ll find me
How long were you searching?
How hard did you try?
Will it all become worth it?
When at last you find…
How long were you searching?
How deep did you dive?
Will it all become worth it?
When at last you find…
When at last you find…
When at last you find…

Someday
He always said he’d set the world on fire
That’s what he told himself and he’s a pretty good liar
Gonna be cowboy not a gun for hire
Started out strong thought he’d never get tired
Met a girl in Barstow
Promised that he’s take her far away
Got as far as Reno
Found he had nothing more to say
He still wakes up dreaming
She still dreams of leaving
Someday
They got married on the 4th of July
Firecrackers, roses and box of red wine
You can say that he never tried
Jumped in the river but the waters to wide
Mmm.mm. mmm
Mmm.mm. mmm
Mmm.mm. mmm
Mmm.mm. mmm
He still wakes up dreaming
She still dreams of leaving
Someday

At the End of Everything
At the end of everything we’ve known
Will it all just start again?
If we can’t learn to let it go
What will happen to us then?
Days and years just slide and roll
As if we’ve nothing on the line
Nobody wants to lose control
Or be the one who’s left behind
Wish I knew what the future holds
Wish I could say one thing for sure
Can you feel it in your soul?
How much more can we endure?
Life and death dance round and round
It’s hard to tell which one is leading
When it’s time to take your bow
Do you know which way you’re leaving?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?

We may not ever make it home
I can’t find no peace
I can feel us coming undone
I can’t find no relief
I don’t have the will to run
We may not ever make it home
This could be our last go round
Don’t leave me standing on my own
Watching that red sun go down
Seems like all I’ve known is heartache
Seems like I’ve seen it all before
Seems like everybody else has left this party
And I’m the only dancer on the floor
We may not ever make it home
This could be our last go round
Don’t leave me standing on my own
Watching that red sun go down
They tore it down today
That old place we used to play
All those ghosts and memories
With nothing left to say
We may not ever make it home
This could be our last go round
Don’t leave me standing on my own
Watching that red sun go down

Sweet Dreams, Caroline
Sun beats down on the Denver pavement
Thoughts weigh heavy on my mind
Maybe the world doesn’t need us to save it
I can’t fault us for trying
Sweet dreams, Caroline
Saw some old friends, Made some new ones
Singing along and keeping time
A bed and a tooth brush, maybe that’s enough
I am not waiting for a sign
Sweet dreams, Caroline
Pulling on my heart strings
Waiting on the phone to ring
I’m up too early again
Tomorrow another town
Wish I could stick around
That’s not how the song ends
Its so much cooler in the mountains
I think I’ll stay another night
I might be swimming I might be drowning
Either way I guess I’ll be fine
Sweet dreams, Caroline
Living in a suitcase
In another time and place
We might have walked the same road
Is it what we’re born to
It might be me or you
Neither of us doing what were told
I’ll take the love over the gold
Mist is falling on the valley
The silver sun begins to rise
Colors ripple on the river
like the laughter in your eyes
Sweet dreams, Caroline
Sweet dreams, Caroline
Sweet dreams, Caroline
