Love Surrounds

Love, Love surrounds me
Too many places, I’m falling apart
And that sweet, sweet adoration
You dropped the bomb on me
I can’t take it
Tell Me
Why don’t we just take up the wind
Roll me on down to Tennnesee
Why don’t we just take up the wind
For that Sweet Soul train sure looks good to me
Open to Sounds. Sweet sounds of summer
And the changes that are to come
And my mother’s tears. Oh, she looks so lonely
I want to comfort her and keep her warm
Chorus
Oh now, Brother, brother
Hold my hand
You caught me slipping when I was sinking down
And that sweet wine pouring in the evening
We’re singing songs, songs, songs that call me home

When I lost you - No-thing I can do….I got the muse
They broke the news, Season of truth…..I got the blues
And if I find, you’re on my mind….all will be clear
Holes in my heart…..didn’t get far….that’s where you are
Letters and notes….lump in my throat…all memories and Dope (hope)
And it’s a Wide….Wide, Wide Wave
So, these words in my heart….a song and a star...didn’t get far
(they say) Love has no bounds...I’m lost and I’m found
You’re in my ear

Last Day
04:20
|
|||
|
Spent the last 20 years on a jet plane
Rolling to and fro and round about this earth (
Lookin down on the ground where all m’fears lie
Wonderin’ at this life and all that we are worth
From Chicago to LA and down to Frisco
All the Seasons and the Reasons to be Blue)
And again I’m on the road for the last time I don’t know
To see my mother and the place that I once knew
I’m goin’ home, home again
I’m looking back now to the places that Ive been
I’m lookin’ backward, sometimes down’ and then within
I’ll see my kin, my home, within again
Through the years and all the airports and on barstools
I met rockstars artists bankers and the like
I had dreams to fill the room, and I wrote a million tunes
But in the end I always reminisce of you
It’s the last day on the earth and we both know it
This old world will only spin around so fast
So take the next chance and tell someone you love them
And every stolen moment could’ve been our last

Tennessee

Lost my mind by the wandering pine – went out of my way to find it
Broken heart, and a pitiful song –and a picture to remind me
Wanna grow up, but I don’t wanna get old
Wanna get up, but I don’t wanna get cold
Wanna love you, but could I still be free?
Would you carry me back to Tennessee?
Little Bird singin’ me a travelin’ song with rest and understanding
Battle of the heart that’s never outgrown
And a penchant that commands it
Wanna grow up, but I don’t wanna get old
Wanna get up, but I don’t wanna get cold
Wanna love you, but could I still be free?
Would you carry me back to Tennessee?
Living’ in the dust but I gotta move on
Wildflowers grow beneath me
Fire in the heart that never goes down
Could this patience ever tame me

Weary Girl's Refrain
03:06
|
|||
|
Whispering Willow, Blue eyed soul
Indiana was your home
Time goes still and seasons change
In our hearts the war we wage
Peace of mind, a price to pay
No more running, I will stay
In a boxcar, Northbound train
We’ll meet in Heaven, sing again
And the wind is blowing at our back, Lord
And the sky is begging me to change
This is the blessed understanding
This is the Weary Girl’s refrain
Sunlight falls on winter’s brow
To better days seem sooner now
Fallow fields, a gentle dream
Ever after loving things

Sapphire Ring

Easter Morning broke like cryin’
Got to get ourselves in line
Because the thunder will always leave you lonely
Sometimes the sun it too will sting
Chorus
But the holding hand will leave you
The moon it makes me think
Hope it leaves me shining like a
Sapphire Ring
Well now the moon it always shines on water
Reflecting back on the trouble we once seen
And it’s true, I am my father’s daughter
Eyes are open to everything
Chorus
Now people always are talkin’ ‘bout their leaving
Skippin’ town and a-moving way up North
Well my Grandma, she had a whistler’s dream and
I listened to the things that she talked

Grace and Fortitude

Grace and Foritiude
Little words from you
When I’m on my knees
You comfort me
(Now Im) Missing every note
In transit (backpack) or in song
We’d sing when we were old
(But you) Came into my room
And told me I was good
Wiped away my my tears, made it all….
go….away
Sometimes when the sun
Peeks beyond the trees
Maybe you are there
And proud of me
(and) I might lost my grip
If I don’t write it down
Mother’s love you gave
And subtle sounds (your soul surrounds)
Chorus
But in the air I know
I heard you just today
You came out in the sun
And in the waves
So i will know you’re near
You’ll always make it known
No need to be sad
I’ll too, come home

Eyes Don't Lie
03:54

Heaven knows that I am high on getting down
Lovely saw those stars they shoot to the ground
It is only hearts can save us
In times like these
But I am
Lost in your conviction
I am torn tween strong and frail
Only you have seen the under water
Side of yourself
And eyes don’t lie
And I saw you breathing just like a field do
When your heart it opened up like this
It said can ‘t we run the way
The way we used to do
But I am…
Lost in your conviction
I am torn tween strong and frail
Only you have seen the underwater
Side of yourself
And Eyes don't lie
And these thoughts are vivid constellations
They have gone and
Twisted up themselves
Aint it strange that love coil dbe
Complicated as this
But I am lost in your conviction
I am torn tween strong and frail
Only you have seen the underwater side of yourself
And eyes dont lie

The Moon
03:30

|
Aint go no accoutrements , It's just us chickens now
We never stopped a-goin', Nor the dark clouds get us down
Tomorrow is a new one; If you're down, take your rest
Every stone you find's a keeper; And there is love here, come and rest
And if your'e sad, look at the moon, 'cause I see it too
(and) if I don't call, please don't be blue, cause in my heart is you (
We are not in charge here. We let go, and give in
Fairy lights and angels and the love keeps them in
Tomorrow is uncertain
But the sun we always know
So if you ever worry
You can look into my eyes and know

One Star

I don’t feel like baking much
I’m missin’ the dearest ones
How we used to have so much fun
In Christmases gone by
Now the City’s decked in Gold
California feeling kinda cold
Maybe someone is missin’ me
And silver Bells they ring
But it’s dark. And I ain’t got no Fire
But when I’m alone..
I turn my eyes to you
And I
Just look at one star
It don’t matter, near or far
Give a little love and see the star so bright
It’s christmas in our hearts tonight
Now I guess the times have changed
But the reason still remains
Love and Cheer and Hope and Grace
Touch every lonely heart
But it’s dark...and I ain’t got no Fire
But when I’m alone, I lift my eyes to you
And I
Just look at one star
It don’t matter where you are
Shine a little light and let your heart feel light
With Christmas in our hearts tonight
