A hard knock
A cold clock Ticking off my time A long look But no luck Couldn't seem to find Or unwind Into peace of mind While I was trying A quick glance A big chance My heart beat like a drum I saw you And I knew Chances just don't come Round again Not like this First a laugh Then a kiss And I'm free in you I've got no worries on my mind I know what to do That's to treat you right And love you kind Thank you ever on my mind Love is just like breathing When it's true And I'm free in you The lost time And self pride Are my big mistakes A clear voice A bad choice Sounding like an ache In my day Not too bad But too real To go away But now I'm free in you I've got no worries on my mind I know what to do That's to treat you right And love you kind Thank you ever on my mind Love is just like breathing When it's true And I'm free in you And I don't know How you show Such gentle disregard For the ugly in me That I see That for so long I took so hard (I took so hard) And I truly believe (I truly believe) That you see the best in me (That you see the best in me) I'm enough for your love And that thought Sets me free Free in you Got no worries on my mind I know what to do That's to treat you right And love you kind Thank you ever on my mind Love is just like breathing When it's true And I'm free in you Yes I'm free in you |

We get to be a ripple in the water
We get to be a rock that’s thrown We get to be a boy on the bridge Standing over the reservoir I see the water lap along the shoreline The buried forest of a man-made lake Cemeteries are laying underneath it Your heart like a damm when it breaks. We are floating, we are swimming And in this moment we are forgetting What we costs, what it takes For one perfect world when we look the other way I’m okay if I don’t look a little closer I am driving with the tank full I’m okay I if don’t see beyond the shore The sun is blistering the black top road I’m okay I don’t have to do the killing We are talking cellular and mobile Or know what the killing is for As if it’s come kind of cure for this world of woe We are talking, we are driving And in this moment we are denying What it costs, what it takes For one perfect world when we look the other way It’s one perfect world when we look the other way It’s one perfect world If you can’t see beyond the myth of isolation And the miracle of daybreak doesn’t move you anymore Connect the points and see the constellations As the night comes down on the reservoir We are swimming, we are floating And in this moment we are beholden To what it costs, to what it takes For one perfect world Can we learn to live another way? It’s one perfect world Can we learn to live another way? It’s one perfect world |

Words and music by Emily Saliers
Oooooooo Oooooooo Oooooooo Dust in our eyes our own boots kicked up Heartsick we nursed along the way we picked up You may not see it when it's sticking to your skin But we're better off for all that we let in Lost friends and loved ones much too young So much promises and work left undone When all that guards us is a single centerline And the brutal crossing over when it's time Oooooooo (I don't know where it all begins) Oooooooo (And I don't know where it all will end) Oooooooo (We're better off for all that we let in) One day those toughies will be withered up and bent The father son the holy warriors and the president With glory days of put up dukes for all the world to see Beaten into submission in the name of the free We're in a nevolution I have heard it said Everyone's so busy now but do we move ahead The planets hurting and atoms splitting And a sweater for your love you sit there knitting Oooooooo (I don't know where it all begins) Oooooooo (And I don't know where it all will end) Oooooooo (We're better off for all that we let in) See those crosses on the side of the road Tied with ribbons in the median They make me grateful I can go this far Lay me down and never wake me up again Kat writes a poem and she sticks it on my truck We don't believe in war and we don't believe in luck The birds were calling to her what were they saying As the gate blew open the tops of the trees were swaying I've passed the cemetery walk my dog down there I read the names in stone and say a silent prayer When I get home you're cooking supper on the stove And the greatest gift of life is to know love Oooooooo (I don't know where it all begins) Oooooooo (And I don't know where it all will end) Oooooooo (We're better off for all that we let in) |

Whatever it was, is wasn't manumission
To spill the blood, to pull the weed You can bury the past, but it's a mausoleum With the ghost of a fist that won't let us be Can we bring it together, Can we call from the mountain to the valley below? Can we make it better, Do we tether the hawk, do we tether the dove? I kicked up the dirt, and I said to my neighbor "We keep making it worse, we keep getting it wrong" He tucked in his shirt, he stood a little bit straighter, He said "We need a few less words dear, we need a few more guns." But will it bring us together, Can we call from the mountain to the valley below? Can we make it better, Do we tether the hawk, do we tether the dove? Enduring love Why so much and so strong, beyond this short existence? So don't be still You say there's a long line behind you And it's hardly worth the mentioning But I will Cause we may flicker and fade, But we never will be through with this I see this world battered but not broken There's a fallow heart, it's waiting on a sowing hand You can grow what you want, But one day it's gonna rise up So plant what you need to make a better stand And we'll bring it together And we'll call from the mountain to the valley below. And we'll make it better Let go of the hawk, we let go of the dove. I sing to you, all you true believers With the strength to see this and not be still. I'm telling you now, find the hope that feeds you, Don't let 'em bleed you of your will. |

Dark clouds are comin’ in like an army
Soon the sky will open up and disarm me You will go just like you’ve gone before One sad soldier off to war, with enemies that only you can see. Dishes stacked, the table cleared It’s always like the scene of the last supper here You speak so cryptically, but that’s not news to me The flood is here it will carry you And I’ve got work to do. Come on home, the team you’re hitched to has a mind of its own But it’s just the forces of your past you’ve fought before Come back here and shut the door I’m stacking sandbags against the river of your troubles. There is fire there is lust Some will trade it all for someone they could trust There’s a bag of silver for a box of nails It’s so simple the betrayal Though it’s known to change the world and what’s to come. Just come on home, the team you’re hitched to has a mind of its own But it’s just the forces of your past you’ve fought before Don’t you recognize them anymore I’m stacking sandbags against the river of your troubles. There’s the given and the expected I count my blessings while I eye what I’ve neglected Is this for better is this for worse You’re all jammed up and the dam’s about to burst. I hear the owl in the night I realize that some things never are made right By some will we string together here Days to months and months to years What if everything we have adds up to nothing. Come on home, the team you’re hitched to has a mind of its own But it’s just the forces of your past you’ve fought before Come back here and shut the door I’m stacking sandbags against the river of your troubles. |

I heard that you were drunk and mean
down at the dairy queen. there's just enough of you in me, for me to have this sympathy and take it in stride. I know I had mine, and you were as kind, I am told. ain't it funny how we lose one day and a lifetime slips away. I'm looking back on us that way- something I never thought I'd say. I take it in stride. I know I had mine, it was good for a time, I am told. it was good for a time, I am told. the love you gave was not for free, but the price was truly fair. I never felt so glad to be so well spent and so beyond repair. I take it in stride. at least you were mine, if not for all time, enough to hold. or at least, enough for me to hold you. now take good care that you are true- you said you found it hard to do. and find that bit of faith that sets you free from having everything to prove. and you take it in stride and know you got mine, and it's good for a lifetime or more. I love you more and more. hey I love you more and more. |

I've seen the sun on a funeral, the full moon in a midday sky
Tactician politician hold his head and wonder why I'm always struck that much harder by the power of suggestion By now I know the answer's always in the question Now that we're done with that why don't you warm the car All of the fields are filled with fresh boys playing football More than the weather chills, the bands practicing their drills I've got to get back to something real with you I had to call your parents to get your number again I was either gonna be the prodigal or the banished friend We were standing against an outside wall, I was afraid of what you'd say It took me ten years to call you back but here we are today Now that we're done with that why don't you warm the car All of the fields are filled with fresh boys playing football More than the weather chills, the bands practicing their drills I've got to get back to something real with you So life has brought you this: two marriages and three kids And me life as slick as ice that finally hit the skids You're as sweet as you ever were A slight sickness of regret washes over me And in the end that's all I get Now that we're done with that why don't you warm the car All of the fields are filled with fresh boys playing football More than the weather chills, the bands practicing their drills I've got to get back to something real I've got to get back to something real I've got to get back to something real with you |

words and music by amy ray
The volunteers come for your prayers and some souvenirs, With ivory skin and boycott lessons Year after year. Well I'm tracing your face up in the space of the bottom bunk, Oh Cordova. Where I cried and I cried, I knew I was trading on things that I didn't have, The things that I didn't have. Now you come to me With revolution's infidelity, With blacklisted friends and tupperware kin, And your big history. Well I'm tracing your face up in the space of the bottom bunk, Oh Cordova. Where I cried and I cried, I knew I was trading on things that I didn't have, The things that I didn't have. I memorize the lullabies of dwindling lives. The lay of the land, the touch of each hand We lose by and by. I'm tracing your face up in the space of the bottom bunk, Oh Cordova. Where I cried and I cried, I knew I was trading on things that I didn't have, The things that I didn't have. |

dog at the window still looks all day never gets her fill
cause a glance means a chance to break the birds out congregating I have seen a look like that you licked your chops from where you sat make your kill for a thrill and you don't mind waiting rise up your dead, there's life in the old girl yet rise up your dead when it bums you out, all the hunters sprung to pounce and at best it's a mess like a nest infested you remember there's more than this there always was and always is tend the artist in your charges, you are full invested and if you need to, read your mindless mag call me up for tickets, we'll go see sugarland and it gets better even when it's been a drag just move to the music, move your body to the band and rise up |

Galileo's head was on the block
The crime was looking up the truth And as the bombshells of my daily fears explode I try to trace them to my youth And then you had to bring up reincarnation Over a couple of beers the other night And now I'm serving time for mistakes Made by another in another lifetime How long 'til my soul gets it right? Can any human being ever reach that kind of light? I call on the resting soul, of Galileo King of night vision, king of insight And then I think about my fear of motion Which I never could explain Some other fool across the ocean years ago Must have crashed his little airplane How long 'til my soul gets it right? Could any human being ever reach that kind of light? I call on the resting soul, of Galileo King of night vision, king of insight I'm not making a joke, You know me, I take everything so seriously If we wait for the time 'til all souls get it right Then at least I know there'll be no nuclear annihilation In my lifetime, I'm still not right I offer thanks to those before me That's all I've got to say 'Cause maybe you squandered big bucks in your lifetime Now i have to pay... But then again it feels like some sort of inspiration To let the next life off the hook But she'll say "look what I had to overcome from my last life I think I'll write a book!" How long 'til my soul gets it right? Can any human being ever reach the highest light? Except for (the resting soul) Galileo, God rest his soul (of Galileo) King of night vision, king of insight... How long...? (until my soul gets it right) ('Til we reach the highest light) How long...? ('til my soul gets it right) ('Til we reach the highest light) How long... |
