Now is the time oh to find a good woman
I used to feast on the roast of the season
I said goodbye
Her reply, what’s the reason
I look up to the clouds
Buried the seed
But no rain is coming down
When I was young wasn’t much of a dreamer
Content to be simple me never eager
Now I desire heavy heart when I see her
I look up to the clouds
Buried the seed
But no rain is coming down
Now is the time oh to find
A good woman

In a sea of sand a man sat, watched the sun roll
On his back no pack, no thing, just red-orange robe
He etched pictures in the sand that nobody saw
Gave up his home
Life on his own
To see if he might find paradise
But only he will know
In a sea of sand a man sat, watched the sun roll
On his back no pack, no thing, just red-orange robe
He's free
Gave up his home
Life on his own
To see if he might find paradise
But only he will know

N'After
03:59
|

After we build a fire
After we pick blueberries
After we drink whiskey
After we get high
Drop in the water
Find what we will find
We’ll tread the water
Just you and I
Nothing to kill the fire
Nothing that will make you leave
Nothing to wake us up
Nowhere I would rather be
Be Hopeful

Reruns

Memories play on the wall
Footage of all the old moments worth recall
But I've rewound too many times
The picture's worn
With colors dulled and sound muffled
I've seen life leap from the throat of a sheep
It's blood trickle down in a red stream that stained my feet
But now today that mark's washed away
Along with a memory that's so faded it seems fake
In my mind
No more
So I'd like
Some more
I rummage through all the old film
Watch it unfold like someone else's dream
Because I've rewound too many times
The picture's worn
With colors dulled and sound muffled
I've seen huge Spanish fallas ignite
Streak across the sky and rain sparks that burned my eyes
But the next day the ash blew away
Scattered so far I now almost doubt that fire
In my mind
No more
So I'd like
Some more

Giants
04:07
|

In the company of giants of wood with pine green tops
I walked alone
The sounds of men faded
Covered by the wind which then gave way
To the sound of none
And silence sang
I wandered off the trail
Pulled by a haze hung in the air
Pushed on nowhere
The signs of men faded
Swallowed by the ancient redwood grove
Left behind to wait
As old growth sang
Singing with no sound 'cross the woods
Like no voice could
Singing with no sound 'cross the woods
Like no voice could
Screaming with no sound 'cross the woods
Like nothing else could
Wailing with no sound 'cross the woods
Like no voice could
Howling with no sound 'cross the woods
Like nothing else could

An Inkling
05:51
|

I know you’re cold
‘Cause I feel your skin
Right now I feel the warmth
But I don’t know the reason
And we’ve been swimming in
This deep, blue hole
Forever
But I see dry
I see dry land
I know it’s cold
‘Cause I see your shiver
Winter winds take hold
But I don’t own a fear
And we’ve been hiding in
This dark, black cave
Forever
But I feel sun
I feel sunlight
Take one last look behind
Blood’s been shed in my mind
Tears been cried, stuck in time
Remember when
I feel a chill
An inkling down the spine
It comes and goes like a rose
Winter’s doom brings spring’s bloom
We’ve been holed up in
This sunken tomb
Forever
But I feel life

Timelines

There's one
There goes another
Who's this telling me when each moment's done
Here's one
Just past the other
Looking out from 'hind the bars of time on top of us
But I wouldn't know where to go without all those lines
How long before another
Don't know what a second's supposed to tell us
You take one
Forget the other
It's like writing with a big fat marker all over your life
But I wouldn't know where to go without all those lines
So I'll make sure remember all that falls 'tween those lines
