Howl At The Moon

|
The wind is blowin
the leaves are changin
The Harvest Moon is
comin round again
and I don't know why it makes me feel this way
but all I know is I've got to find my way
and Race with the wind and howl at the Moon
and dream my dream too
I've got it all
I always say
I envy no man at
the end of the day
Because of you I feel alright in my space
because of you you always kiss my face
and Race with the wind and howl at the Moon
and dream our dream too
Dreamin dreams
Can bring all kinds of trouble
Live those dreams
you know it can be double
The wind is blowin
the leaves are changin
The first frost is
killin everything
and I don't know why it makes me feel this way
but all I know is I've got to find my way
and Race with the wind and howl at the Moon
and dream our dream too

Missing You
03:34
|
|||
|
When I was young I'd stand
on top of your shoes
We'd slide across the kitchen floor
and dance around the room
These memories keep me strong
since that night bitter sweet so long
Oh, how I'm missing you
you, you, you, you.
I walk the streets of
my old neighborhood
up Inner drive into the park
and deep into the woods
where an eagle flew over head
across the frozen sky
and the trees stood black and bare
the way I felt inside
Oh, I was missing you,
you, you, you, you
Some day my sons will stand in my shoes
and they'll feel the way that I do
No one else can take
my fathers place
I see him in my silver hair
and the lines etched on my face
and the memories that keep me strong
since that night bitter sweet so long
these memories yeah that keep me strong
since that night bitter sweet so long
Oh, how I'm missing you
you, you, you, you

Devils And Desires
03:23
|
|||
|
What makes us do the things we do
good and bad right and wrong
It seems to me that we aint really free
from the Devils and Desires in our souls
Every time I quit my bad habits
they keep comin round for more
when I get to that settin sun
I just want to have some fun
I can hear them bones knockin at my door
yeah the devil he's the one he'll take you out for some fun
Desire makes you want what you can't have
While I desire to be free from the chains you can't see
it's the Devils and Desires in our souls
Chorus, 1st verse out

Orphan Train

Hello my name is Sara Jane
when I was four years old they put me on this train
They took me from my mothers arms
and sent me west to live on some strangers farm
Orphan Train, goin down the track
Orphan Train, aint never comin back
Whoo hoo
We'd pull into the little towns
and folks would come and look us up and down
They always took the babies first
and pretty girls always had it worse
Orphan Train, goin down the track
Orphan Train, aint never comin back
Whoo hoo
Mama said I'll only be a whistle away
but I never saw her again after that day
Now I'm old and all alone
sometimes I dream that I'll still make it home
and them I hear my mothers voice
Sara Jane, I didn't have a chioce
Orphan Train goin down the track
Orphan Train aint never comin back
Whoo hoo

Tender Majesty
04:16
|

|
There's a certain slant of light
on a winters afternoon
when it comes the landscape listens
shadows hold their breath
The saddest sound the sweetest sound
the maddest sound that grows
Birds make it in the spring
at nights delicious close
and it makes us think of what we had
and what can be no more
we almost wish those feathered souls
would go and sing no more
this is my letter to the world
that never wrote to me
the simple truth that nature told
with Tender Majesty
There's a certain slant of light
on a winters afternoon
when it comes the landscape listens
shadows hold their breath
and it makes us think of what we had
and what can be no more
we almost wish those feathered souls
would go and sing no more
go and sing no more
go and sing no more

The Dream I Made
03:15
|
|||
|
You can drive all day and drive all night
you won't see a small farm that's got any life
only these monstrosities
they don't care about the birds or the bees
Well I thought this farm would set me free
get away from the city and the greed
then they sued me for the seeds I saved
another nail in the coffin of the dream I made
Where's the dream I made?
I raised six kids on this farm
and I worked the fields with them in my arms
now they've all left for the city lights
another sun goes down on a farmers life
Where's the dream I made?
Willy tries to save the farms
he got tangled up in the tax mans arms
thy'll knock you down they'll break your back
just to get their brand in your grocery sack
You can drive all day and drive all night
you won't see a small farm that's got any life
only these monstrosities
they don't care about the birds or the bees
Where's the dream I made?

White Dress
02:44
|
|||
|
Well the sun is goin down and I've taken my last breath
please don't cry for me and leave me in my white dress
Go tell the preacher and everyone in town
I am flying up in heaven with the birds all around
Take me out the back door walk me through the barn
carry my body up the hill and lay my burden down
Well I once loved me a preacher he loved me too
but he wouldn't leave her and there was nothing I could do
so I took to my room and all I did was write
words and words how they burned deep into the night
Take me out the back door walk me through the barn
carry my body up the hill and lay my burden down
Come Jezebels and sinners outlaws and harlots too
were all goin out the back door and I'm goin out there too
go tell my brother and everyone in town
We're all flying up in heaven with the birds all around
Take me out the back door walk me through the barn
carry my body up the hill and lay my burden down
Well the sun is goin down and I've taken my last breath
please don't cry for me and leave me in my white dress

Chasing Angels Finding Devils
Empty faces lonely places
Evil makers people takers
love should bind us but
money blinds us
All we learn all we think we know
can turn around my friend
our minds change as we grow
forever
Chasing Angels Finding Devils
Life's illusions my conclusions

Where have all the hippies gone
hiding on the inside
Where have all the hippies gone
longhair by the wayside
In an effort to fit in you went and shaved your chin
gave away your bluejeans and tea shirts to the kids
mow the lawn on Saturday
Where have all the hippies gone
your lookin like your father
Where have all the hippies gone
I thought we'd go farther
In an effort to fit in you gained a taste for gin
tennis at the club it was so hard to get in
mow the lawn on Saturday
In an effort to fit in you gained a taste for gin
