Neighborhood (Treehouse) 03:49
lyrics
buy track
Neighborhood, moving on while I sit still Sidewalk, always seems to go uphill Used to know the neighbors but they all have moved away Changes all around me all I want to do is stay Old house, worn and used but comfortable Lived in, by this tired lonely soul Stairs I've climbed a thousand times, creaky as can be, Is that old face staring from the mirror really me? Back yard, filled up by an ancient tree Stately, tall in all its majesty Tire swings and tree-houses, shaded from sun's blast Memories of childhood for generations past

20 Feet Deep 07:05
lyrics

Fragile sacred tablets one slip They shatter, hold them close to me together Pray I do not fall Marble floor below Concentrate, close eyes hold them together Sudden change with the wind disturbs my stride I tried, failing, hold it together The written word travels with the ghosts in the hall Scented smoke carries us all together Racing mind, far behind, reasoning a little faith Catching up, take a breath…here I go

Coronado 03:37
lyrics

Been walking all day long Ain’t seen a soul for hours Hitch hiking till I reach the sea. The sun had just gone down Upon the desert highway Blood read unlike I’ve never seen… Standing on the side of the road He doesn’t worry cause he doesn’t know Coronado’s coming down the road And then I heard a sound It rumbled through the canyon I turned to look from wince it came And from the burning sky Howling down the highway A cloud of dust was heading my way… He sees them coming over the hill A band of riders give him the chill He wants to run but ya know he’ll still around And by my second breathe The riders were upon me The giant steed drew to a halt The men were 10 feet tall All clad in Spanish armor The captain’s eyes gleamed as he said Well do you know senior About the golden city We search for years we must be close, si so close I told him, I don’t know But I could use a lift Together we might get somewhere… Searching for the city of gold The quest began so long ago Hitching a lift with Coronado

Rolling Song 04:54
lyrics

FAR FROM HOME I FIND MYSELF IN A PLACE WITH LITTLE WEALTH DO WE REALLY TAKE THIS MUCH FOR GRANTED? DESERT HEAT, THE OPEN SEA LANGUAGES FOREIGN TO ME NOTHING SEEMS TO BE QUITE WHAT I WANTED. I can roll over the ocean I can roll over the mountain I know I’ll see you on the other side When things are looking gloomy And the world is acting moody I know there is love somewhere inside There’s a whisper from the desert There is so much to discover I roll around there and come alive There’s a whisper from Savanna She say’s roll into my river Take a long drink and cool your mind I can roll with the last tribe Roll away from the nations I hope there is peace somewhere inside I can’t say How we’ll behave We’re so glad we’re (you're) here tonight

Roman Highway 06:11
lyrics
buy track
Strolling down Roman highway Pint of bitters and broken dreams Leave my sword at the station White Crow caws, solder’s screams Good ole past stay behind me Future who should say? Ghosts hawk spears and armor Kick the skull along way Along the way, soaked in rage I wash away All the years & all those fears I walk away Fine mist cools face and hands Heal the sting of many wars Here & there touch a loose stone Releasing buried roar Where I travel is past The future none can say A flower blooms in broken mortar Roman Highway slow decay Slow Decay, broken rage I wash away All the years & all those fears I walk away Along the way, swirling haze I walk away

Harmonize 03:26
lyrics
buy track
Set out on a journey to find out how much we know, We started with a small trip just to see where it would go Made some plans, kept working hard, got friends along the way, Didn't even stop to think where we'd been yesterday. We all want (love) to harmonize Been going for a while, making progress here and there, And then we hit a rough patch amid a head light's glare, Silly antics, somersaults, and goofy banter too, Had to pause and catch our breath to figure out what we could do. Scanned the map, reformed our plan, and started up again, We thought we'd made it through but then it happened yet again. We all shouted right except for one who shouted left, We went our separate ways but figured it was for the best.

Blue 02:16
lyrics
buy track
When I see blue, do you? When I hear the News, do you believe it’s true? When the flood rose high, were you given wings to fly? Looking down with the sun, do you feel like you’ve won? So high above, did the stars steel your love? In a book of spells, with golden idols you dwell. Dance in clouded halls, swing down before you fall!

Over the Hill 03:35
lyrics
buy track
Over the hill I flew like a crow Casting my shadow on the forest below Warm wind whispering a mournful tune Blew through the brightness of the ghostly moon Made my way to a stony creek On a large gray rock sat a bald old freak Stroked his feather pen and wrote in the air To all of those that pass you best beware I open my window spread out my arms I flew past the cities and I flew past the farms The sun warmed my body and the stars, lit the night Far ahead I saw a plume of rising smoke Heard the shouts and laughter of some festive folk Flew to a tree by beside that lively knoll The fire grew higher and warmed my soul They danced in their cloths they wore at birth Sang a pagan song about their Mother Earth Smoked her herbs and played some earthly games Then they got bored and jumped in the flames Followed alone an old dirt road Approaching headlights made the darkness corrode Cars full of kids racing wild and free One missed the curb and slammed into a tree The crest of the mountain was lit by the sun Over the ridge came Attila the Hun His hoards sacked the village and killed the men dead Consumed all their wine and freshly baked bread I remember the things that I have past The good and the bad they do not last The memories I made the chance, may never come again
