Brighter Morning (Demo)
04:12
|
|||
|
Well I've been waiting for a brighter morning today
When all my cares will find a river to float away
Maybe this time I can wander out that door
What kind of sunshine this weather can afford
I'm tired of waiting for what might never come
It's hard to see the light without a little sun
Walking down to the creek I'll say hello
All my friends that just live and let love go
Take a moment to see the colors in the scene
Watch the birds flying in and out of dreams
I'm tired of waiting for what might never come
It's hard to see the light without a little sun
I'm going to find a country road where no one goes
Drop the windows and feel the cool wind blow
I'll watch the sun setting low out in the hills
Hope tomorrow brings sunshine I can feel
I'm tired of waiting for what might never come
It's hard to see the light without a little sun

In Her Arms (Demo)
05:58
|

|
Maybe I'm wrong but I love the way
Your eyes can burn me down
Wild honey that the ghost in me
Can never slip around
Slip around / slip around / slip around
Maybe I'm wrong but I love the way
That freedom makes you sing
Every outlaw wants to find a getaway
And come out clean / come out clean
Come out clean / come out clean
Maybe I'm wrong but I love the way
That dirty water shines
When the sun is golden like an angel
Opening her arms / in her arms / in her arms
In her arms / in her arms / in her arms
Yeah I'm in her arms

Run On Slow (Demo)
04:53
|
|||
|
I'm following this lonesome railroad line
I can't help but think of you
A thousand ties do their best to bind
Your heart pushes right on through
Could your empty heart find hope
Before your stack runs out of coal
Let this train engine run on slow
Fill your empty heart with gold
Underneath this endless ocean sky
Nothing moves below the deep
Gather stones you can make a sign
Some place to let your burdens sleep
Could your empty heart find hope
Before your stack runs out of coal
Let this train engine run on slow
Fill your empty heart with gold
Guess I've got an empty heart now too
These conversations in my head
All day long I hear them call me ooh
My heart pushes right on through
Could my empty heart find hope
Before this stack runs out of coal
Let this train engine run on slow
Fill my empty heart with gold
Let this train engine run on slow
Fill my empty heart with gold

Cora (Demo)
03:15
|
|||
|
We spent our days lost in the maze / of time and revelry
Til a gypsy heart took your spark / and ran away with me
She was woven in the back roads then / way back in my mind
Cora I was searching for your time
You know that I can hold you in that / long lost memory
First and Main and we watched the train / shaking out our fear
Where you've been I can't pretend / I'd like just to know
Cora did you make it on your own
I'm staring down the sun's last round / like every night before
I don't know to play or fold / with the cards out on the floor
So I'll race with time until I find / if your heart's still there
Cora will you let down your long hair
Yeah I'll race with time until I find / if your heart's still there
Cora will you let down your long hair

Little Bird (Demo)
05:04
|

Little bird won't you hold your head up high
You've made it all these years / and now the ground is dry
I know you want to keep from hanging low
And near the earth / but save your tears
Cause you can drift away without a course
Or sink your roots in deep
But as for me I think I'll keep my wings up for a while
I'll ride the open skies and find
Wherever those sea birds roam
Keep some peace of mind within and sail upon the wind
Little bird won't you dry those tear-stained eyes
I still recall that night / when blood was on your mind
You both broke down and time seemed like
It'd never move / and now you're through
You can drift away without a course
Or sink your roots in deep
But as for me I think I'll keep my wings up for a while
I'll ride the open skies and find
Wherever those sea birds roam
Keep some peace of mind within and sail upon the wind
You can drift away without a course
Or sink your roots in deep
But as for me I think I'll keep my wings up for a while
I'll ride the open skies and find
Wherever those sea birds roam
Keep some peace of mind within and sail upon the wind

Edge of the Pines (Demo)
03:09
|
|||
|
I was sixteen when I hit the road
Not knowing what I would find
So I headed west with the Beach Boys best
To keep me between the lines
I saw plains going on and on
Just as far as my eye could see
With no one around to build a town
Living wild and living free
I made the mountains by supper time
Caught the red sun sinking low
Like a funeral pyre the lake caught fire
And bathed in an orange glow
I walked through forests of every kind
Growing tall and thick as thieves
With no one around to cut them down
Living wild and living free
These days I go to work and back
About five or six times a week
There's folks all around we cover the ground
But we're as empty as can be
So I take myself to the edge of the pines
Where they whisper soft to me
With no one around to make a sound
Living wild and living free
Yeah I take myself to the edge of the pines
Where they whisper soft to me
With no one around to make a sound
Living wild and living free
With no one around to let me down
Living wild and living free
