I Must've Been Leaving 02:56
lyrics
buy track
This old driving line has lead me off the rails. I could sleep on it, but shut eye often fails. Yes, I should have seen the sign, but I must’ve been leaving. What you said back there, put wheels on the road. I could face it down but cracks would surely show. Oh I could have seen it plain, but I was leaving Would you save my place and keep that bedside warm While I while away and whittle at the scorn Oh, I should have seen the sign, but I must’ve been leaving That old bar back there has fell into despair Same sad characters Dull smoke in the air Oh, I could have joined that club but I was leaving When you told me straight It shook me to my toes Could have called you out Yet mirrors all around Yeah, I could have kissed the ground But I was leaving Would you save my place and keep that bedside warm While I while away and whittle at the scorn I could have circled back around But I was leaving Nowhere for the night to go Unwelcome memory unfolds Meet me halfway up the road Coffee, smoke and stories told Heavy load I could play and sing a tune into the void blackness in middle distance Nods and sings along Oh, I could have stared it down but I was leaving. This old driving line has lead me off the rails. I could sleep on it, but shut eye often fails. Yes, I should have seen the sign, but I must’ve been leaving. Yeah, I could have stood my ground But I must’ve been leaving

As Soon As You Get Here (you best be gone) 05:20
lyrics

There where the road it meets the distance On the bare earth is marked a spot That house still stands there with you in it. You said as soon as you get here you best be gone Back in the weeds there begs a question Who’s door you dare to knock upon I bring the message and the flowers so sweet Said, as soon as you get here, you best be gone —— There in the house there is a balcony Fine City lights to look upon Beyond that city lies a desert so dry Says as soon as you get there, you best be gone Down the road there stands a ramble Two step/side step goin on Over the din and the clatter so thick She says as soon as you get here, you best be gone —— Your daddy told you not to bother With a man who slings a guitar on He’ll bring his pretty tunes and his smile so sweet, But as soon as he gets here, he’ll be gone Your momma groomed you for the alter Said you best know the road you’re on Dare a blind turn, don’t even holler For me As soon as you get there, you’ll be gone —- Behind the walls you built tall with him Presides the chambermaid you pay She says although that door is open wide. As soon as you step through it you’ll be gone. Out where the highway meets the distance Beyond the mountains there’s only sea But upon that sea there sails a tall tall ship. And as soon as you step on it you’ll be gone —- And now the ramble, it’s in shambles Burned earth and bottles all around Still in the dead of night you hear them guitars calling to you But soon as you get there, they’ll be gone As soon as you get there They’ll be gone As soon as you get there They’ll be gone Get gone now

These Walls 03:17
lyrics

These walls Hold my fears and hopes That door May it forever be closed Outside, the day Spite in my face As I scurry to hide These walls, Oh how I love them so Windows Blackened forever closed Outside the night A siren, a call Under covers - I go Solo Inside the light So easy to dim and Keep there at bay These walls No stories to tell That door Creeks open in the chill Outside the night Welcoming cold Shadow reprieve So many hours unfold Only inward to go Sleep comes in it’s waves Moon glow replays I’m in here to stay These walls Shall they never fall That phone Never dials or calls Outside, the day Spite in my face As I scurry away

The Door 04:02
lyrics

Open the door And open the door And in as they come In as they come I’m as they come Into you As they will You are they In the come with their sour faces, blackened gums, swollen eyes, hands clawed, clutching their “research” and their citations, and their untrusting trust in what must, in what must, in what must, trust in what must, in what must

Light Of Way 02:54
lyrics

Today - drift through the canyons Over the hills away Today - nothing can stop me Having had made my way Steep are the canyons High are the hillsides Should you be on your way Tonight - a light in the window Barely seen by day Out here, wolves they do gather Wolves they do gather near Close they do gather Circling tighter Obscuring the light of way Although cold is the falling eve Close is the light they say The wolves - circling closer Glowing eyes every way Though they come closer Cold we are too the touch Distance - they will keep Dim is the light - it fades Shadow extend the way Take my hand let’s drift astray As the - day - fades Today - drift through the canyons Over the hills away Today - nothing can stop me Having had made my way Steep are the canyons High are the hillsides Should you be on your way Helpless we drift astray Obscuring the light of way

Gravity 06:19
lyrics
buy track
In the deep forest there’s a tree Swaying branches none can see Spans the air between two pines Never living Never dying In the stream Awash a key At the bottom Moss green Swim the stream Fish the key Flaming spires You will see Pine air Turn the key No lock clicks Nothing to see Feel the hands They pull you near Door closes Light nowhere near Evening of light On the other side Burned branches Spanning wide Trails of smoke Skidding collide Planets merge Gravity decides

Would you kill your bother if you had a had another Would you put him under Would you put him under if you’re pulling no trigger or grabbing a dagger Kill him with the stupid Kill him with the the screen Kill him as you will him, will Bend him into being All the songs go on Ah the glare flares on Would you kill your bother if you had a had another Would you put him under Would you put him under if you’re pulling no trigger or grabbing a dagger Kill him with the stupid Kill him with the the screen Kill him as you will him, will Bend him into being The stupid flickers on Drowns on Drowns on Flares glare on And on
