Deep River in my Heart 04:20
lyrics
buy track
Deep River in my Heart Deep river in my heart Flying from the mountain to the sea Every time I hear you call my name Heaven knows the joy it brings to me Don’t you be a coward and surrender Don’t you let them change your point of view Deep river in my heart Let me bring the feeling back to you These changes have to come One by one these faces come and go Lonely hearts were meant to fall in love Jealousy was sent to steal the show Don’t look back then lie awake and wonder How the current cast our lives in two Deep river in my heart Let me bring the feeling back to you Two lights to share the sky One the sun and one the braided moon Two hearts to share one life One’s the bride and one’s the wedding room Sometimes love can keep the world together Other times there’s nothing we can do Deep river in my heart Let me bring the feeling back to you Deep river in my heart Let me bring the feeling back to you

King of Mexico 04:32
lyrics

King of Mexico Sunlight’s streaming through the wooden beams Sand has gathered on the dented floor The sea is like a lion lying on the shore All day long it’s roaring She is sleeping in a T-shirt now Breathing lightly as a breeze Just last winter I was without reason Falling down those frozen blocks and freezing Now I’ve become the King of Mexico Down here there’s so much gold I can give her She don’t know I’m no one back at home Don’t it make me shiver When I get out to California I’m driving those tomato trucks And eating in those lonesome diners Playing cards and hoping to get lucky Now she don’t know about my tales How some of them need lots of help to tell She has only seen me when I’m winning When on the shore those giant waves are swelling Now I’ve become the King of Mexico Down here there’s so much gold I can give her She don’t know I’m no one back a t home Don’t it make me shiver She don’t know I’m flat broke back at home Don’t it make me shiver

Deep in a Song 05:35
lyrics
buy track
Deep in a Song Deep in a song Turning so suddenly Drifting along over the floor Is that the moon that’s burning in front of me I’m driven along and out through the door Over the land the sailfish passes now Isn’t his eye the same as the moon Isn’t his sword the same as a single blade of grass He cuts through the glass and I follow him through (chorus) Racing through these trees I learn to sing My river runs along the same song as the sea In the rain when silver petals ring it makes the whole world happy Underneath the soil the red sun shines Across the face of space the light waves carry on Somewhere in between I leave my mind Deep in a song Deep in a song Changing my scenery Lower the sky into my room Beautiful stars fluttering over me The sailfish starts to circle the moon Is it my heart Lighter than anything Starting to sail over the trees The tip of my sword cuts through the silence as I sing I’m leaving the floor to dance on the sea (chorus)

Way to get Along 03:05
lyrics
buy track
Way to get Along Please Mr. President Words were made to fly Put on your tie Kiss your wife goodbye and pick up the phone They’re waiting there at home Sure it was an accident, But can’t you say that what we did was wrong Fly around the world just to try and find a way to get along Think about your Mom sitting in her chair Silver in her hair Suddenly she picks up the phone and lets out a moan What if it was you and all she knew was that her little boy was gone Fly around the world just to try and find a way to get along Watching the pebbles go down into the river Watching the river go down into the deep All night, riding along with just a shiver You can only come before the crown with the company you keep You can only come before the crown with the company you keep He was just a man shot down in his prime Didn’t have the time to climb another hill in the road His tale has been told Lightning ripped the fabric of their lives just like the striking of a gong Fly around the world just to try and find a way to get along

Honeybee 04:04
lyrics
buy track
Honeybee On days like this when all is bright you don’t miss that long, black night You sense the breeze and feel the sun and still believe that it will never be done You still believe that time is free My Honeybee On days like this when all is still you strive to say what you can only feel You try to speak but words don’t come and all you hear is a distant hum You hear that hum and turn the key My Honeybee Honeybee My Honeybee The wind might blow right over the sea but when you go remember me My Honeybee

Riding the Rails 03:11
lyrics
buy track
Riding the Rails If I don’t get that insurance money I’ll come up with a new strategy I could borrow a suit, try to polish my boots and go to work for a minimal fee There’s a room that I’m thinking of renting with a mattress and all that entails When the winter wind blows and its starting to snow I don’t want to be riding the rails (chorus) I don’t want to be searching for somebody to hold I don’t want to be huddled in a corner so cold I don’t want to drive off in a fit of despair I don’t want to be leaving when I haven’t even got there It’s dark and it’s cold in the valley I’m told There’s a coffin of plywood and nails When the winter wind blows and it’s starting to snow I don’t want to be riding the rails There’s a man on the phone He could give me a loan He’s got plenty of credit for free But I’ve been there before when I walk in the door that’s a gun pointing over at me With one hand he’s up gripping and shaking while with the other one he’s tipping the scales When the winter wind blows and it’s starting to snow I don’t want to be riding the rails (chorus)

Ghost on the Roam 06:13
lyrics
buy track
Ghost on the Roam It’s beautiful this time of year The trees are awakening The sky is suddenly so clear The ocean is too I paid attention to my dream I went and I followed it I still can’t tell you what it means or if it came true (chorus) And now it’s time to go I wonder who these people are who never talked to me I wonder where their lives will lead and what their god will give to see them through When I was just a kid in school I never dreamed that someday I might grow to be A stranger alone So battered and blown A ghost on the roam Still searching for home I had to laugh a time or two The silence was deafening A thousand movies had to do when nobody called I learned to walk beside the moon and sing to the silver sea At night the stars inside my room would rock me to sleep (chorus) Now where I’m going I don’t know It’s out of my reckoning And if the wind blows let it blow I’m cutting the line Tonight I’ll get down on my knees somewhere by the silver sea And plant a seed beneath the trees I’m leaving behind I’m out on the roam Still searching for home

My California 03:12
lyrics

My California California I know about the dream I’ve heard about the stream that glitters in the sun From the Redwoods to the land of Mexico I know about the flow and where it’s gonna run (chorus) I’ve been around all over the place Lord knows at times I’ve needed some space But nowhere else could ever erase my California As a young man she treated me so bad She got inside my head and made me feel so blue But I did hold on Now I know what’s really gold I’ve been down inside her soul and I know just what to do I’ve been around all over the place Lord knows at times I’ve needed some space But nowhere else could ever erase my California California I know about the dream I know about the dream I know about the dream

Going down the Rapids 03:11
lyrics

Going down the Rapids Going down the rapids all alone Dead fish running down to take the sea Holy one the light is gone Each heart has turned to stone Going down the rapids all alone Stranded in the city of the night No control and slipping on the street Holy one the light is lost The stars are hidden from sight Stranded in the city of the night Going down the rapids now The paddle snapped in two You don’t know what you might have to do Holy one a ray of light to melt each heart of stone Going down the rapids all alone Going down the freeway in a streak Each face unencumbered by a name Holy one the signs are set The days grow into weeks Going down the freeway in a streak Going down the rapids now The paddle snapped in two You don’t know what you might have to do Holy one a ray of light to melt each heart of stone Going down the freeway all alone Going down the rapids all alone

World of Stone 04:20

World of Stone Take a right turn when you get past old Mesquite Soon you’re gonna enter Rocky Mountain zone If you drive across that bridge you’re gonna meet a world of stone If you drive across that bridge you better run If you start to run you’ll understand the sky If you understand you won’t be so alone in a world of stone There are faces rising up out of the heat There’s an ocean high above the ancient bone If you drive across that bridge you won’t be beat by a world of stone If you understand you won’t be so alone in a world of stone Take a right turn when you get past Santa Fe You can make the cave or climb up the volcano If you take the time you’ll find out what gets thrown in a world of stone There are faces rising up out of the heat There’s an ocean high above the aching bone If you drive across that bridge you won’t be beat by a world of stone If you understand you won’t be so alone in a world of stone

The Change 03:56
lyrics
buy track
The Change Early in the afternoon I sat around and listened through the wall Old man Ben was breaking down like acid rain the words began to fall I had heard it one too many times I couldn’t stand to see it through Then I heard him crying and it seemed like I was seeing it anew Then I laid down and felt the change All this love ran through my veins And I began to understand that only love can make a man Only love can take a stand As the sun was setting I got up and took a stroll down to the sea All the fishing boats were now returning and the sky was growing pink Walking down the beach I met a child selling bracelets made by hand I bought two Before she left she knelt and spelled her name out in the sand M-A-R-E I laid down and felt the change All this love ran through my veins And I began to understand that only love can make the man Only love can take a stand Only love can take a stand
