Used To Know Her Mother
03:14
|
|||
|
In a backwater town that people don’t leave
The apples don’t roll far from the trees
Every child shares the same path
Every child wants to fall in love
One day my son met a girl
He wanted to treat so right
I met them in a bar on their second date
None of us will forget that night
She’s so beautiful
She looks just like her mother
She’s so memorable
Reminds me of her mother
She never knew her dad
I used to know her mother
But she’s got my eyes
Because I used to know her mother
In a backwater town where people stay too long
What seems right could turn out so wrong
Every child shares the same path
Every child wants to fall in love
Been two years since my son left town
Left my home and that girl so sad
Don’t think they’ll ever forgive me
For wrecking what they could have had
She’s so beautiful
She looks just like her mother
She’s so memorable
Reminds me of her mother
She never knew her dad
I used to know her mother
But she’s got my eyes
Because I used to know her mother
I used to know her mother
Mother what a lover

Ladder Creek Falls

Driving North together
Still apart it seems
From Reedsport past Seattle
No plan or place to be
Travelling in silence
Like we’ve said it all
Stopped in North Cascades
By a waterfall
Don’t look back
The past is cracked
The future’s ours
To heal our scars
Don’t look back
The past is cracked
The future’s ours
heal our scars
Blankets wrapped around us
On the forest floor
Found our piece of heaven
Here at Ladder Creek Falls
Gently drips this forest
Melting snow in June
Watching as your features
Silver by the moon
Sound of moving water
Lulls you in your sleep
Binds us both together
Deep the darkness creeps
Don’t look back...
Blanket wrapped around us...

Hope Train
03:56
|
|||
|
Armageddon’s coming down the line
End of days this is a biblical time
Leaving your house can be a major crime
If you don’t use it as your exercise time
Or go and stand in the checkout lines
But we might make it if we’re all apart together
Gonna catch the hope train
Gonna catch the hope train
Gonna catch the hope train
Gonna catch the hope train
Too many hours spent watching the news
I start off lucid then grow slowly confused
A flattening curve that never seems to move
Trajectory that’s not a win or a lose
It’s like a ticking bomb that can’t be diffused
But we might make it if we’re all apart together
Gonna catch the hope train
Gonna catch the hope train
Gonna catch the hope train
Gonna catch the hope train
Armageddon’s coming down the line
End of days this is a biblical time
Leaving your house can be a major crime
If you don’t use it as your exercise time
Or go and stand in the checkout lines
But we might make it if we’re all apart together

Monterey Bay
03:14
|
|||
|
In London Town
Listening to your country sound
Your voice could make me cry
As you paint eagles in the sky
From Colorado
Colorado
Thank you for the mountain songs
Though the sunshine on my shoulders gone
Gone away
Thank you for the mountain songs
Though the sunshine on my shoulders gone
Gone away
Here today
Look out across the bay
Where you tried to touch the sun
And flew away-aye-aye
At Monterey
Thank you for the mountain songs
Though the sunshine on my shoulders gone
Gone away

Love Is
03:28
|
|||
|
I missed our last date
I had to work late
You know I’m working hard for me and you
Have to travel so far
I don’t have a car
And if I did I’d give my car to you
Love is all we need
As long as we believe
Love is all we need
To get through
I know all our friends
They’ve got money to spend
But I don’t care as long as I’ve got you in my arms
So we’ll keep on doing
What we keep on doing
One day soon the sun’s gonna shine for me and you

The Haunting
04:10
|
|||
|
Summer days drifting into nights
Close the door to our former home
Home is house when you sleep alone
In my dreams you are here to stay
Shafts of light through the curtains fall
On a bed that was made for two
Lights the space where you used to sleep
Sleep comes down and I still dream of you
Summer’s Shadow’s always coming back behind my back
Shadows call ah ooh
A time for love is a laughing time
And while you laugh time will slip away
Now laughter rings through our empty house
But in my dreams you are here to stay
Summer’s Shadow’s always coming back behind my back
Shadows call ah ooh, Shadows Fall
I could pray for that time again
Or maybe I should find somebody new
Change the house find a lover too
Slay the ghost the haunting will remain
Summer’s Shadow’s always coming back behind my back
Summer’s Shadow’s always coming back behind my back
Summer’s Shadow’s always coming back behind my back
Shadows call ah ooh, Shadows Fall

Queensbury Rules
03:16
|
|||
|
I keep my social distance
When and where I can
But there’s mouths to feed
And I’m a hungry man
So much stuff to fit-in
Before I go to work
Walking into town
Sweat runs down my shirt
Head to the super-market
Need to jump the queue
Sorry lady and baby
I’ve got family too
Get to the shelves they’re empty
Shouldn’t have got up late
Grab the final egg-box
The sell-by’s out of date.
Hit the pharmacy
Join the ship of fools
Pushing past my victims
This aint’ Queensbury rules
All these people thinking
We should tow the line
Don’t know what they’re drinking
Makes them so bovine
I ain’t playing by no Queensbury Rules
Queensbury rules that were made for fools
Drive my van cross country
My wife she don’t know
Thinks I’m out delivering
But I’ve got seeds to sow
Told my lover don’t worry
About this little cough
I’m sure some exercise
Will help me sleep it off

Turn On The Radio
03:37
|

|
Oh what a morning
My girlfriend’s left me
Never saw it coming at all
She’s been cheating on me
With my younger brother
Won’t even answer my calls
She always told me
I don’t want children
Now she’s got one on the way
I sit in the kitchen
My head’s still spinning
What can I do or say?
I turn on the radio
And I’m singing
Thank you DJ for the sounds
I turn on the radio
And I’m dancing
Thank you DJ yeah!
I hate my job
Phone won’t stop ringing
Everyone wants to complain
I tell my boss
That I’m quitting
She says don’t come back again
I grab my coat
Jump in the car
Time to head on home
The car breaks down
And it’s started raining
And the battery’s dead on my phone
I turn on the radio…

Scared
03:04
|
|||
|
Only met a month ago
Yet we are complete
In almost every way
And when we are apart
I play it cool
But secretly
I always wish you’d stay
You like to talk
Well so do I
Then when I hush
You think I’m shy
But the words
That you want me to say
They just won’t come today
So please don’t tell me that you love me
Because I’ve heard that line one time before
Maybe I’m just scared we won’t make it
That I’m not what your heart is looking for x 2
I treasure every hour
We’re together
Endless pleasure
Every time you stay
Your powers of apricity
Could melt a frozen heart
On midwinters day
You like to talk
Well so do I
Then when I hush
You think I’m shy
But the words
That you want me to say
They just won’t come today
So please don’t tell me that you love me
Cos I’ve heard that line one time before
Maybe I’m just scared we won’t make it
Cos I’m not what your heart is looking for

No More Tomorrows
03:06
|
|||
|
We meet out on the streets
Crouched in shadows, secret lovers
That were meant to be
You taught me to be free
As long as we’ve got each other
You and me together forever
And if there are no more tomorrows
We did it right
And if there are no more tomorrows
We put up a fight
And if there are no more tomorrows
At least we’ll have tonight
Scare stories every day
Forests burning, virus worsening
Glaciers melt away
News frightens every way
As long as we have got each other
Love together die together
And if there are no more tomorrows
We did it right
And if there are no more tomorrows
We put up a fight
And if there are no more tomorrows
At least we’ll have tonight
And if there are no more tomorrows
And if there are no more tomorrows
And if there are no more tomorrows
And if there are no more tomorrows
At least we’ll have tonight
And if there are no more tomorrows
At least we’ll have tonight
And if there are no more tomorrows
