The Hand Writes Steady
03:01
|
|||
As you lay there and wonder
If time runs in a stream
Straight ahead or round corners
Tell me now, would you please
The hand writes steady
No fool shall heed
In the distance a circle
widens with ease
All light it does swallow
Jump in if you please
The hand writes steady
A fool minds no need
The hand writes steady
The mind it takes leave
Solo
In known unknown appeased
In known unknown appeased
Repeat

A Spectre
05:13
|
|||
There's something in my way
Follows me home
Face of pale white
Hands of cold grey
Ain't got nothing good to say
Says I know what you're trying to do
Trying to fix yourself a reason to stand it
Gonna paint your days trouble
Nights of spilled milk
Gonna have you seeing double
Down the stairway you fell
Now your head can't shake it
And your feet can't take it
Your soul can't shake it
Buy you'll make it

No Ride
02:19
|

You said I was in the right place at the wrong time
Ready on the beach at low tide
Bags packed, on time, empty jetway
Get me out of here, prime time
3, 4 in the morning whirs and sirens
Toss and tumble, find the floor
Wasn’t there something some time you might have mentioned.
Covered mirrors easy ride
But when the need is flowing
Broken bottles, spilled wine
You said it was coming round the corner
Packed bags, on time
Ready at the gate, empty jetway
Covered mirrors, no ride

The Comedown
02:29
|

Sister ... release with me
Leave your coat
Leave it at ease for
The come down, lady
Set it down clean
Above ground
Mister, stay clear of me
Leave it, arms to the sea for
The comedown, maybe
Get down for me
Above ground ....
The comedown
Maybe, get down with me
Above ground
All roads lead to
Neighbor, tell me what do you see
The distance leads all ships to see
Run aground, neighbor
Run the ground with me
Above ground
The comedown, maybe
Get down with me
Above ground
The comedown, maybe
Get down with me
Above ground
All roads lead to
The comedown

Lost Lightning
03:03
|
|||
Where were you when they called
Offered it right
But you couldn’t show
Didn’t you know
You had the whole night
That’s how you roll
Stumble and flow
Lost lightening
We practiced good and we tried real hard
Neighbors complaining
Should have known
the weight of the stone
dragging us under
That’s how we roll
Stumble and flow
Lost lighting
Through the door
Onto the floor
Back slapping
We’ll take the bar
No?
Then how many drink tickets ?
Park in the back
No
Pull up and load
You’re on your own
On your own
Enough did show
We gave it a go
Midnight ramblin
Cops and batons
Cars were towed
Goddamn ya
Thats how we roll
Stumble and flow
Lost lighting
Decades gone
Shades now drawn
Oh that lost lighting

The Magician
06:21
|
|||
The magician stood and saw the land
Fine place, a good home must stand
A castle for my keep
But he was lone and oh, so weak
Spied a frog for a man from he sprang
From frightful spell
They turned the mud
Fashioned the stone
Soon a lone wall, it stood
Grey and strong
But he was tired, his ire was drawn
So a man from another frog stood
Fit and grand
They raised more walls, they pulled a roof
Till the castle emerged into view
Solid and proud
But he grew tired so yet again
More frogs conscripted from home
Became men so fit
Soon rushed a moat, now spanned a bridge
Sharp towers cut through the clouds
What mercy none gives
But he was tired, sat amid the shade
Pulled another frog from the grey
Now two arms and too legs
The men worked long
The men worked strong
Singing songs of their watery home
May they return, he shall never tell
Ballrooms crossed halls of marble grand
As he dreamed of the parties he’d lead
Dark Magic and fire
There must be a cellar so full of wine
So below did the earth crack and give
Walls went up neat
As the magician whipped, with water teased
As the frogs with their backs under siege
Muscled and weaved.
But as the sun waned, he wanted more
More and more and faster do plead
As the men rushed to please
So he pulled yet more, until the creek was bare
But so many men now did work, and the castle did gleam
But as he marveled sat as the cellar rose
The men lifted a new fort of stone
Tall enough for a throne
They sat him tall, they sat him proud
Just before they sealed tight the wall
Cellar ceiling to floor
And As he raged, as he cursed and screamed
The men swam the moat to the creek
Home once again
And you can hear his screams if you cross the land
Thin, hollow, no magic can pass from clawed hands through the stone
The castle stands tall, the castle gleams
But there stands tall trees along the creek
Their water does teem.

Nothing There
05:56
|
|||
When I was in the city
I’d wander those polished stone streets
I went back to that city so fair
There was nothing there
My heart is with the ocean
Chill and thin was the air
I went back to that ocean so fair
There was nothing there
Oh that bar with its cinema seats, green snakes in the air
I went down to that bar, darkened street
There was nothing there
Oh, evening, it spirals and sings
Of empty bottles that clink
Crack one more open and pass it on down
Phantom hand doesn’t reach
When I was in my old skin so fair
I let them fall where they stood
When look into my young and wide eyes
There's nothing there
I went back
I went down
I went through
can’t retrace
Can’t re-step
Can’t remake
Can’t Re-tune

Dusted
07:06

Was it that you meant to say
When I was turned the other way
Was it that we lost the day
Moon sings, dust for your dreams
I was on my way, lights, stops, curse the same
You were making waves, in the hush, pull of shame
Will you cling the sheets as you see it hover
Does it speak your name ….. Do you obey
Was is that we lost the day
Moon sings dust for your dreams
You were making waves, in the hush pull of shame
Where do we hang the frame, no picture barren gaze
Does the distance stay or retreat, cast away

Too many hangovers
And not enough heartaches
You give your time and love to the bottle
And it rolls right away with you
Too many nights wasted
Catching up with the day
Your shadow steps over you
As you’re crashed in the hay
Only so many hours to go
When you’re ready for that aching, you’ll know.
Until then it’s ...
Too many rest stops, not enough tread on them tires
You’ll be on the ball by noon
But back in the ditch by five
So many fine records but an old dull needle
Playing suitor to your ego
then it leaves you with the bill
Only so many hours to go
When you’re ready for that aching, you’ll know
Solo
Too many hangovers
And not enough heartaches
Put the cap or cork on it
and ride the breeze into town
Share a smile if you’re able, always chancing a frown
Take a sure hand for a waltz
Two step it back out
Only so many hours to go
When you’re ready for that aching you’ll know
