“Family”

 

1: Black Hills

A long time thinking
A long time wed
With the darkness that gambles
And pulled out my head

And the steeple bends
To the western land
All smoke in my rafters
Brought to your bed

Stones, stones, stones
Are Studded for you
In the black hills

And babies birthing
Through our rooms
We've thrown on the table
We've carved out the moon

A simple something
To show I'm moved
I was born in your river
I'll wash down to you

Stones, stones, stones
Are Studded for you
In the black hills

2. Sunday Times

Half the moon with your rhythm
Pulling sleeves through the sun
Bright eyed stoned to the lead on
Right, ill scroll through the lone

Ooo,ooo
Dad, I've forf'd all my dreaming
Tied my stone for her find
Boy, I flew through the mid morn
All my faith in her light
Ooo,ooo

I don't want be the Sunday times
All I wither
Aint mine

I don't want be the Sunday times
All I wither
Aint mine

3: Dead Leaves Bloom

Colder now
Since you left town
Burned up my back
To be all in and out

Surely you lose more than Dreams when you choose
A kiss From the valley Girl
When Dead leaves bloom

And when I found
You back in my mouth
You took for the hills
To be all in and out

And I faded the moon
In the city with you
Now I'm here with the valley girl
When dead leaves bloom

It's written
It's wrestling
The wife in the warm
held me as tight
As I held you alone
And maybe In death
I'll awake in your arms
Gentle and ageless
In The waves of the gulf

Now there you go
Saying I'm broke
Calling me love
And Then throwing me home
And just when you prove
You'll be bending the truth
I'm here with the valley girl
When dead leaves bloom

 

4: Tame

I don't often think of Sarie
Now the day is done
When she calls I ball
For I know where she’s coming from

Tame me, its wonder I don't walk on fours
Waiting at the table till morn
You've done the best you're able
Down in Rochester
I'm old enough to chew my hand
-salud-

Take off your coat
You tell me shame
And pull my hair
In October moons
The wicked reign from where we grew

Tame me, its wonder I don't walk on fours
Waiting at the table till morn
You've done the best you're able
Down in Rochester
I'm old enough to chew my hand
-salud-

5: Fur

As we grow
We come home to the place we know
Through the thick and terrified

Live for fun, loosen up
To the fall
Bet I'll find your animal

And no sign of give and take
Sit along girl, sit along girl
5 states and different fur
Moving over
Rolling in my river now

Come what lies,
Dish it up, in my mind
Never faults to live alone

And I'll save a fire.
But is she love?
Limb by bone
Lay for izzy's sake

And no sign of give and take
Sit along girl, sit along girl
5 states and different fur
Moving over
Rolling in my river now

6: The Staff And The Reed

Someday in the country
Someday on our own
We'll grow tulips from rain

Color the season
Grey to indigo
We'll know how much it takes

The staff and the reed and my wife
Burn with the hammer tonight
As we lie We rest our eyes
For morrow brings you home
For morrow brings you home

Someday in the mountains
Someday in the still we'll feel
Fragrant and free

Carried by our children
Up all winter green
We'll lean
Back into the breeze

The staff and the reed and my wife
Burn with the hammer tonight
As we lie We rest our eyes
for morrow brings you home
For morrow brings you home

7: Your Mother’s Song

It stands to reason
You should bear the wall
Your family's grown teeth
And buried in the heart of love

Standing through the thick you know how to right your wrongs
Listen to your mother
Listen to your mother’s song

And I will show you in my eyes to her’s
The spirit of the water
The luck of the open earth

Stacking up your muscle
Balance where the light belongs
and Listen to your mother
Listen to your mother’s song

And take the time to still your mind
And see all things are intertwined
My life
Your lungs
The kiss you'll give to some
Like in your mother's song

8: Sleep, Sleep

Sleep, sleep little baby
Your mommas electric and safe
Sleep tight as I belong
Beside and tame
Though never known

The house has
Sieged
But she's been balanced
Careless in love for your name

The heart dies
Until we long for
Say yes and tell them all
That time might craze you home

He sees a set of daisies
Hair for the wife of the age
Hold tight and learn it all
From her in time
You never know

And all the steep sides I've lowered
Have heard enough of my name

The heart tries until we both
Go
Say yes and tell them all
That time might take you home

9: Go

Whenever you leave
I'll be flying
higher than the heron

We stand on our feet
As the crow goes
Sizing the desert

We found in the lean
Where we both go Lone
We pull at the leash
At the leash
Go

When my heart goes alight
I will notice you inside

Could Ashely be
Spun in gold
After your memory ?

Or shadows from leaves
Could afford ya
Finally as heaven

Well I wish well to the queen
But I know growth
Builds on the buried
So take you're release
Your release
Go

10: Pine

Pine bleeds
Up the east
After all your moon

And gathers
Salt of the earth
Sapphires,
When you're blue

Lazy summer
Lay your light and lose
All things coming
When you let it loose

Hometowns
Calling you now
Leather love since June
But hope lives
In the quiet within
Silence breeds the truth

Lazy summer
Lay your light and lose
All things coming
When you let it loose

11. Yellow Flowers

Days are getting brighter but I miss my love
Dancing in the shallows when
A kiss was in the middle of the way I was
Running from the life I'm in

I'd moon with you my Millie if it weren't so steep
Slipping to the red eyed won
Raising up a family like It was my dream
And not the life i'd bend for love

So I'll be home
'For the yellow flowers come

Nights are getting easier now I know my place
Taking from the ground and grow
But I'm lying if I said you never knew my face
More than any mountain ghost

Yeah find me in the quiet
In the tales I tell
Cut along the western plains
Burning from the bottom of the ground we fell
Light enough to lose my name

I'll be home
'For the yellow flowers come

12. Sensitive Summer Thing

As I lay with you in blue
The water flies in the room
Bathe me, I’m don’t mind the undertow

Well i Staved off your tooth
Stand me up
Set me loose
Barely time to bottle all you blow

Summer, sensitive summer thing
Let me, let me moon
Called by love to wander though
Your every hue

Were you lost in the truth
Folded up
Feather through?
Stacked another town behind your bloom

Still we craze by the bump
Of the dangling drum
High above the Rockies
And the rum
