Hay, Hay, Make a Wish

From a far hill / life remains still / summer breeze through winter
chill / Carry us nigh / to that big sky / Past the time gone by and by
/ Born as a dream / haunting moonbeam /found In all its shining gleam
/ Carry us poems / that we might roam / to the love we call our home /
Hay, hay, make a wish and turn away

Shake Off The Loss

Instrumental

Hell If I Love

Lost in the eye of the sun / could you be the one / that’s ruining all
my days / since you went away / I spent the whole night dreaming /
dreaming of your song / would you sing along / love, if you could only
sing this song / Lost in the sight of the fight / as I fled into the
night / I was so compelled by love / when push came down to shove / I
spent the whole night dreaming / dreaming of your song / would you
sing along / love, if you could only sing along

It’s Alright In Your Eyes

This heart don’t start for no one / here we go again my friend / sorry
to bend your arm again / There’s no way I’m sorry today, go / When we
see it all through other people’s eyes / This soul don’t stop for no
one / here we go again my love / sent like a dove to me / Sorry to be
the one who’s not free to leave, go / When we see it all through other
people’s eyes / It’s alright in your eyes / How can I say, it’s
alright in your eyes?

Mackerel Sky

Mackerel Sky, neither wet nor dry / I trace with my finger, shutting
an eye / Devil’s of dust, tractors and rust / move with weather of the
prairie wind gust / We planted our dreams by the side of this road /
They’ll rise with the fog when we grow old / The rain gives flood
falls in the fields / shows that there is nothing that can’t be
revealed

No Clouds

I went to find the rain / I’d forgotten my own name / it never was the
same / I went to find the rain / I’d forgotten my own name / it never
was the same / Went out to the city to find myself a way / looking for
a job, a place, and a home where I could stay / Waited for something,
but something never came / Waited for too long / Now it’s gone / It’ll
never come around again / I went to find the rain / I’d forgotten my
own name / it never was the same / I went to find the rain / I’d
forgotten my own name / it never was the same / More than what life
seems / I’d forgotten all my dreams / busting at the seams / More than
what life seems / I’d forgotten all my dreams / No end for a means /
Went out to the wilderness to find myself a way / looking for the love
in life with hopes that I could stay / Waited for something, but
something was already gone / Waited for too long / Now it’s gone /
It’ll never come around again / It’ll never come around again. No,
no, no

Bellfountain Stars

I tell you this reminder that I’m not that far from home / Don’t you
worry for me, cause I’m not on my own / We like to go out far to see
these stars / We’ll leave out West to where the highways collide /
Comfort never leaves when you’re here by my side / We like to go out
far to see these stars / It’s not in the cars or the city bars / We
like to see those stars / You know my heart and you know where I stand
/ All the love that’s left in the world shows that I will be your man
/ We like to go out far to see these stars / It’s not in the cars or
the city bars / We like to see those stars / We’ll leave out West to
where the highways collide / Comfort never leaves me when you’re here
by my side / We like to go out far to see these stars / It’s not in
the cars or the city bars / We like to see those stars

Broken Hearted

Left to words unsaid / No, there’s nothing to relieve my aching head /
So I sign these cares to bed /cause I can’t find cures for thoughts I
often thread / Maybe I’m just scared of being broken hearted / or
maybe I’m afraid of getting lost / Still I am young / and I know this
long adventure’s just begun / Retire to be still / cause these carried
hopes and sorrows make me ill / Maybe I’m just scared of being broken
hearted / or maybe I’m afraid of getting lost / It’s a long road to
go, don’t you know / It’s a long bed to pretend that love will end /
Love will end

Saddest Songs

Honey, I save my saddest songs for you / Honey, I save my saddest
songs for you /
If I’d forgotten all the troubled times I wouldn’t be so true / Honey,
I save my saddest songs for you / Honey, through all my days I think
of you / Honey, through all the nights I dream of too / I rest in you.
When I feel blue your voice is always true / Honey, through all my
days I think of you / Honey, you know my heart belongs to you / Honey,
you know my heart belongs to you / Would you take hopes and stitch
them to yours that together they’d come true / Honey, you know my
heart belongs to you / Honey, I save my saddest songs for you / Honey,
I save my saddest songs for you / If I’d forgotten all the troubled
times I wouldn’t be so true / Honey, I save my saddest songs for you

Her Eyes Tell A Story

Give up I’m carried away / You left me with nothing to say / Even how
I saw in your eyes / there wasn’t the slightest disguise / I asked you
to go for a walk / so that we could bypass the talk / and the awkward
feelings inside / that we so often hide / Cause it’s not like I could
of forgot / what makes things start often stop / No, how could I
forget / just when our hearts met / Give up I’m carried away / You
left me without a good day / and without even saying goodbye / as you
left on a flight through the sky /Now I can’t even walk / I’m so
crippled I can’t even talk / with this awkward feeling inside / Now
all I want to do is go run and hide / Cause it’s not like I could of
forgot / what makes things start often stop / No, how could I forget /
just when our hearts met / It’s alright tonight

You Were The Sky

In the sun where I left you / you were the sky, so was I / And the
love that you took from me / you were the sky, so was I / The sun
rises in the East / This heart finds itself no peace / This love
carries from the North / In the sun where you haunt me / you were the
sky, so was I / And the love that you kept from me / you were the sky,
so was I / The sun rises in the East / This heart finds itself no
peace / This love carries from the North

The Wild & The Tame

Into the fall you will bawl / like a dog that makes its call / heard
by all they recall / that love has stayed the same / through the rain
/ the wild and the tame / there’s no shame in your name / as gracious
as the valley rains that carry us do fall / Into the spring you will
sing / like a bird that gets its wings / to your nest you gently bring
/ a sound that’s always kind in your mind / the love will always find
you / you will shine / you will shine / still clearer than the
mountain winds that carry us do blow

Find A Way

Maybe I’m a sucker for mercy / I could be a lover of love / All I have
is all I give / oh, to find a way / Singing out this protest song /
against the things I’ve done wrong / Been far too far for far too long
/ oh, to find a way / Living with a guilty fear / take a look in the
mirror / get out of here and find a way / oh, to find a way / Can’t
you see these tired eyes / spent from scanning the skies / The man who
tries is the man who dies to find a way / Reap what you’ve sown / out
on your own / Don’t worry you’ll find your way home / Now it’s clear
through the fear in your eyes / Don’t worry you’ll find what you know
/ It’ll show / Find a way, find a way, find a way / Holding out these
empty hands / only you could understand / I am still a simple man /
oh, to find a way / Carrying a heavy load / It’s a sight to behold /
Look and feel like you’re twice as old / oh, to find a way / Reap what
you’ve sown / out on your own / Don’t worry you’ll find your way home
/ Now it’s clear through the fear in your eyes / Don’t worry you’ll
find what you know / It’ll show / Find a way, find a way, find a way

Blue & Black

All done packed / I’m heading for the blue and black / and no one will
follow / Searching for what I lack / will get me through tomorrow / As
far as I know / I’m on my own / I’m leaving home / I’m leaving home /
Road signs lack / The radio slacks and my stereo sounds hollow / I’m
on track / with one gas station map I bought for a dollar / As far as
I know / I’m on my own / I’m leaving home / I’m leaving home / Home

Like a Tree

You were like a tree / You grew out to me / and you sank you’re roots
in deep / but you fell asleep / Though the wind’s gonna blow away all
your dreams someday / Though the seasons may change I know you’ll
remain the same / You were like a tree / You grew up to me / and you
gave it all to see / how good it could be / Though the wind’s gonna
blow away all your dreams someday / Though the seasons will change I
know you’ll remain the same

Devil’s Hand

You think that you have what it takes to be the man / with a lazy
fools smile you can’t hardly stand / you’re paying five dollars to
feed the devil’s hand / cause you think that you have what it takes to
be the man / In all, I look for tomorrow when you’re drowning in your
sorrow / You think that you have what it takes to be the man / Yeah,
you have what it takes to be the man / I’m telling you have what it
takes to be the man

Simple Man

Drove to the beach / to find something so out of reach / but as I find
/ it was just me trying to rewind / It takes a simple man / to make
simpler mistakes / It’s hard to see the next day / when a simple plan
/ just might take you by surprise / and you can learn to see a new day
/ in a new way / Drove to the farm / and I was driving with such alarm
/ but I lost my way / and never did find out what to say / It takes a
simple man / to make simpler mistakes / It’s hard to see the next day
/ when a simple plan / just might take you by surprise / and you can
learn to see a new day / in a new way

Pages Of Your Heart

I’d like to open up your book / for the chance to take a look / inside
the pages of your heart / on the chance that I’d renew / and find the
publisher he was true / inside the pages of your heart / On the day
that we had met / I hope there wasn’t the slightest regret / inside
the pages of your heart / cause when I lay awake at night / I hope
that somehow I could write / inside the pages of your heart / The
pages that never quite end / True desires sketched with a pen / Were
these words deep inside your heart? / Your heart / I’d like to open up
your book / for the chance to take a look / inside the pages of your
heart

Fire & Ice (lyrics by Ethan Demerast)

I had a dream that we were swimming in the Arctic Ocean / and the
sunlight was shining on the ice flows / And though it seemed that we
were sinking in the calm commotion / I could see you floating in the
distance / So run around, don’t come around, don’t come back and break
me to two / Covered in icicles, beautiful breakable you / I had a
dream that we living in the South of Iceland / where the grass is
greener than the sea / I heard you scream “The end is beginning” / and
I saw you running / with the frozen sunlight in your eyes / So run
around, don’t come around, don’t come back and break me to two /
Covered in icicles, beautiful breakable you / Run around, don’t come
around, don’t come back and tell me the truth / If you’re an angel an
angel is all I could use

Reaching Jefferson

Windows black / the sidewalk white / I’m looking down the road / and I
see that it’s just you and me / and we are all alone / Reaching
Jefferson / and it’s time to turn around / It’s time to go home /
Reaching Jefferson / and it’s time to turn around / cause it’s far too
cold / Street lights fade / the cars are still / and no one crowds the
alleys / Reaching Jefferson / and it’s time to turn around / It’s time
to go home / Reaching Jefferson / and it’s time to turn around / cause
it’s far too cold

Seasons

The leaves were falling yesterday / Look at the air outside / The
winter chills’ not here to stay / Look at the air outside

Fishing Song

I went out over the water / standing atop a mighty bridge / looking
down on the rocks below / We were out on that day / to catch some fish
/ This is a fishing song / I hope like to sing along / cause it’s that
type of song / We’ll my friend is standing beside me / a can of Hamms
in his hand / He’s got a rolly pressed between crooked lips / Tying on
bait and a weight / on an eight pound test / This is a fishing song /
I hope like to sing along / cause it’s that type of song / We waited
clear till the evening / bout when it was time to pack and go home /
After seeing all the faces that we didn’t know / We were wondering if
there was even one fish down below / Just then a bite / and a yell /
from my friend down the bank / We had caught just about the biggest
salmon you had ever saw

Freight Train

Feet flat on the railroad tracks / didn’t want to go didn’t want to
come back / Heavy bag slung over his shoulder / weighing him down /
feeling so much older / much older / Moonlight strikes through his
hair / filling his heart with dispair / as the troops marching through
his brain hit him / just like a freight train / a freight train / You
thought it was wise / to hide under the skies / but I / I’ve got eyes
/ I see through the lies / that you’ve got no disguise / It’s no
surprise

Her Eyes Tell A Story (Acoustic)

Give up I’m carried away / You left me with nothing to say / Even how
I saw in your eyes / there wasn’t the slightest disguise / I asked you
to go for a walk / so that we could bypass the talk / and the awkward
feelings inside / that we so often hide / Cause it’s not like I could
of forgot / what makes things start often stop / No, how could I
forget / just when our hearts met / Give up I’m carried away / You
left me without a good day / and without even saying goodbye / as you
left on a flight through the sky /Now I can’t even talk / I’m too
crippled I can’t even walk / with this awkward feeling inside / Now
all I want to do is go run and hide / Cause it’s not like I could of
forgot / what makes things start often stop / No, how could I forget /
just when our hearts met / It’s alright tonight

Home

I wake up in the morning on my own / As I’m dreaming / reaching out /
reaching for the phone / I listen to the dial tone / listen as it
drones / But it’s not so bad / No it’s not so bad / I’m reaching for
the door on the second floor / If you’re lookin’ for me / chances are
you’ll find me at the local store / People say my town’s a bore / but
I’ll say there’s something more / cause it’s not so bad / No, it’s not
so bad / I can trust my friends on the flip of a dime / They are
always there for me even when / I’m not on time / I would never dare
to call any other place my home / No, no other / cause my home is my
heart my soul / it’s close to me / as close as my own brother / and
it’s not so bad / No, it’s not so bad / Don’t you know what it’s like
/ to be living without a fright / Don’t you know what it’s like / to
be walking the pale moonlight
