Coyote
Late in the morning, I got a call,
Got a warning
And it’s all I can do
To keep my heart from falling through
Lend me your nerve, dear
I have lost mine again
And it’s all I can do
To keep from running home to you
Coyote running through the fields
Followed by the moon
Wild thing you don’t bend or yield
It’s me who gives in too soon
Trouble has been hiding so long
I forgot
That we all pay the cost
For keeping things we should have lost
And Hearts do the talking
While our minds do the walking
And we all pay the cost
When days are short and hard with frost
Coyote running through the fields
Followed by the moon
Wild thing you don’t bend or yield
It’s me who gives in too soon
So lend me your nerve, dear
I have lost mine again
And it’s all I can do
To keep from running home to you

Roll With The Wind
It’s time that you were rolling on out of here
I never had the heart to say goodbye
You’ve been burning fires, burning pages, burning time
It’s time that you were rolling out of here
Winding ribbons in the merry month of May
All the girls with flowers in their hair
You’ve been hearing sirens in the sultry spring air
It’s time that you were rolling out of here
It’s time that you were rolling out of here
Take your time like you do
Take your time getting through
I can’t just roll with the wind like you do
So go on and roll with the wind like you do
Quiet rooms, quiet afternoons
Filled up with the ghost of our time
I’ve been haunting memories, holding wishes, healing crimes
Every time you roll on out of here
Yes, every time you roll on out of here
Take your time like you do
Take your time getting through
I can’t just roll with the wind like you do
So go on and roll with the wind like you do
Tag: I can’t just roll with the wind like you do
So go on and roll with the wind like you do

The Road is Divided
I’ve been waking up
So early is it morning?
When the moon is shining towards me
Like a spotlight on a dark stage
And there are shadows
Then there’s this dark where light is swallowed
And I’m wading knee deep through it
Where the stillness mutes the sound
And you never come around
Watch the snow melt
Watch the sky light up like fire
If you don’t buy you’re not a buyer
If you don’t fight you’re not a fighter
There was no hurricane
No earthquake and no thunder
Just a mild rain on a Monday
Did/ it call for something more
For the winds to wage a war
But I love you like a mother loves a child
We carried one another many miles
Now the road it is divided
Hmmmm….
Don’t get me started
I’m doing my best to be hard hearted
I’ve got my armour now, I’m guarded
To the love that made me blind
Now you’re right here being kind
But I love you like a mother loves a child
We carried one another many miles
Now the road it is divided
Hmmmm….

Out Of Time
All the time in the world is over
All the time in the world is done
I’ve been waiting and hoping and praying
But it’s out of time I’ve run
And the winds of change are blowing
And it’s spring but it’s still snowing
And although it is hard to say
It’s harder for me now to stay
‘Cause all the time in the world is over
All the time in the world is done
I’ve been waiting and hoping and praying
But it’s out of time I’ve run
I can always ask for forgiveness
I can always ask for more
But I can’t make up for lost time
And the time for us now is o’er
‘Cause all the time in the world is over
All the time in the world is done
I’ve been waiting and hoping and praying
But it’s out of time I’ve run
All the time in the world is over
All the time in the world is done
I’ve been waiting and hoping and praying
But it’s out of time I’ve run

Breath of a Wind
I can’t find the words but I’m trying to tell you
That I need to be heard but I don’t have the strength to
And I feel like I might fall apart on the breath of a wind
Yes I feel like I might fall apart
Well it comes and goes, I’ve learned it won’t stay
But it’s hard to remember on days like today
When I feel like I might fall apart with the breath of a wind
Yeah, I feel like might fall apart on the breath of a wind
For so long it’s been grand and I thought I could make it
But now here I stand feeling broken and naked
And it seems like I might fall apart on the breath of a wind
Yeah it feels like I might fall apart
So if you don’t mind could you hold me so tender
And tell me it’s fine and help me remember
That it’s kinder to fall apart than to keep it all in
Yes it’s alright to fall apart on the breath of a wind

The Tempest
How far from shore my love,
How far from shore mas the wind carried me
How far from shore my love
How far from shore has the wind carried me
Oh watch the wildest waves
Oh watch the wildest waves carry me away from you
Oh watch the wildest waves
Oh watch the wildest waves carry me away from you
Oh watch the wildest waves fall on us by light of moon
Oh pray the sun to rise and winds to die down soon
If I ever make back to shore I know just what I’ll do
I will never let the wind or waves take me away from you
How shall I e’er return
How shall I e’er return to you my dearest love
How shall I e’er return
How shall I e’er return to you my dearest love
Oh watch the wildest waves fall on us by light of moon
Oh pray the sun to rise and winds to die down soon
If I ever make back to shore I know just what I’ll do
I will never let the wind or waves take me away from you
Oh watch the wildest waves fall on us by light of moon
Oh pray the sun to rise and winds to die down soon
If I ever make back to shore I know just what I’ll do
I will never let the wind or waves take me away from you

Emmet’s Song
Too many times you’ve been stopped in your tracks
Now there’s no going back, I’m taking you with me
Too many times they have torn you apart
Now we’re back at the start, I’m happy to carry you
You’re not taking the easy way out
You’ve climbed up and down and around the highest of mountains
You’ve been imprisoned by fear masquerading my dear as love
But love it can’t hurt you
Watching you walk through the darkest of days
Your back always straight and your heart always brave
I lent you my hand but it’s me you have saved
Not everyone sees who you are
They’re blind to the moon and the stars, blind to your beauty
All they can see is one son, not knowing you’re one
But I see your lights never fading
Watching you walk through the darkest of days
Your back always straight and your heart always brave
I lent you my hand but it’s me you have saved

Night Crossing
Taking the ferry cross the North Sea
Bones of forgotten souls beneath
The only light tonight is the moon up in the sky
Night crossing
Faces of strangers all around me
I’ll have one more drink and then retire
Who knows when I might find another soul to ease my mind
On this journey
Oh my love
Oh my love
I’m coming back to you someday soon
Ghosts keep me company as we sail on
Waves rock me gently in my bed
I can’t seem to sleep as we cross this northern sea
Night crossing
Darkness so deep out on the water
Sun has to fight it’s way through
You know I struggle too, watch the skies turn deepest blue
The slowest sunrise
Oh my love
Oh my love
I’m coming back to you someday soon
Oh my love
Oh my love
I’m coming back to you someday soon

Sweet By and By

Sweet By and By
The wind is coming in now from the ocean
I’ve been sitting on this shoreline for days
Once I had the blues and once I lost them
I never did get the hang of all this change
But if you count the days like they are blossoms
And know it takes the cold to bring the heat
You can enter into any situation
And know it’s been the same since the very first heart beat
When I saw you on that day down at the local
I asked if you would come to see me sing
And you showed up like a prince among the pilgrims
You said you’d like to come and see me later in the spring
But the blossoms on the trees they are all fading
Summer it is fast approaching me
And I’ve got a list as long as that old highway
Of all the things that I must do and people I must see
But maybe in the summertime
When all the children are playing free and wild
You and I can sit outside
Just watch the days roll by and by, by and by, sweet by and by
When I met you in the back room of the local
You were sitting with your sister and her son
It was Mother’s Day how kind of you to mention
You must miss your mother still who died when you were young
And I know you feel it too the winds are changing
And I’m sad that it is time for me to go
But you’re welcome anytime if you are lonesome
Just hop onto the next train that’s headed eastward bound
But maybe in the summertime
When all the children are playing free and wild
You and I can sit outside
Just watch the days roll by and by, by and by, sweet by and by...

Out Of Nowhere
Sometimes I just watch the rain
Sometimes I just can’t complain
Feeling you get nearer dear
Now I’m watching faces in the mirror
Ask me why and I won’t know
How did this sweet love grow
Out of nowhere into sight
Now I’m waiting for you tonight
I don’t know what will happen next
Close your eyes and get some rest
We don’t need to know right now
Just wait for the sun to bow
Fool me once, shame on you
Fool me twice, now what to do
I have loved and I have lost
And it’s always been worth the cost
Ask me why, no I don’t know
How did this sweet love grow
Out of nowhere into sight
Now I’m waiting for you tonight

Come Back In
Don’t worry darling it’s just time rolling on
It happens every single day
I’ve been watching the tide roll out of the bay
All I remember is a cold summer’s day
Wrapped in a sweater on the north shore
You were asking if I would stay and I did
Yes I did
Now the boats are all tucked away for winter
Skeletons of trees move with the wind
You’ve been moving farther away from me
Come back in, come back in
Oh how love makes the heart ache
How the water shapes the shore
I can’t ask you to protect me here anymore
But what is home if it’s not with you
Feel the sun that’s lost its heat
I can’t ask you to change a thing, not for me
Not for me
Now the boats are all tucked away for winter
Skeletons of trees move with the wind
You’ve been moving farther away from me
Now the boats are all tucked away for winter
Skeletons of trees move with the wind
You’ve been moving farther away from me
Come back in, come back in
Don’t worry darling it’s just time rolling on
It happens every single day
I’ve been watching the tide roll out of the bay

All The Way In
All the clouds parting in the sky
All the stars coming out tonight
I can see your face by the firelight
I can feel your heart burning bright
And I am all the way in
I’m falling all the way in
You must leave me now it’s time to go
We both have our work to do I know
But when you finally get to the end of the road
I know you’ll turn around and come back home
And I am all the way in
I’m falling all the way in
Yes I am all the way in
I’m falling all the way in
Bridge:
Our lives have taken so many twists and turns
But it seems we’ve been headed here from the first
I’m all the way in
I’m all the way in
Sip your coffee now or drink your wine
Pour some whiskey at the end of the night
Say your prayers for the thousandth time
Everything’s going to work out just fine
Cause I am all the way in
I’m falling all the way in
Yes I am all the way in
I’m falling all the way in

Waiting On My Love
One foot in front of the other, that’s how we must go
One step ahead the next and we’ll get there nice and slow
See I’ve been waiting all of my life just to be with you right now
Let’s not waste a minute of this it could all let go somehow
I’ve been waiting on my love, yes I have
I’ve been waiting on my love
2 little birds go flying high up in the sky
2 little tears come rolling, falling from your eyes
I never promised you, there would be no pain
But I can promise you that it’s worth it just the same
I’ve been waiting on my love, yes I have
I’ve been waiting on my love
I’ve been waiting on my love, yes I have
I’ve been waiting on my love
Some things in life we win, some things we lose
Some things in life are given to us, other things we choose
I found a gift you you that can not be replaced
I hope that you know you are welcome here to stay
I’ve been waiting on my love, yes I have
I’ve been waiting on my love
I’ve been waiting on my love, yes I have
I’ve been waiting on my love
