Melt
04:54
|
|||
We all melt away in the end.
Don’t you know that we all melt away in the end
When I left home
I broke free
from the master plan
into the open sea
Yeah, I set off on my own
Without much direction
Bumping into the others
Without much discretion
I sank a few ships
But I never burned bridges
Too bad they all lead
To another dead end
We all melt away in the end
Don’t you know that we all melt away in the end
Take me to the end of the world
I want to see where the end will be
But before I die I want to sail the sea
I want to feel the waves washing over me
I can feel each one take a part of me
As I start to melt, melt away
We all melt away in the end
Don’t you know that we all melt away in the end

Smokey Mountain
04:18
|

When you’re going down to the smokey mountain
Take a little time to stop and look around
Don’t forget from where you come
Don’t regret it when you leave
Take a little stroll through the town of Tondo
Go where no one ever wants to
Face the faces that will haunt you
Press your hand onto a forehead
Bless someone with your presence
One way in and one way out
How deep will you go before you turn around
Two worlds that are one in the same
One people and we all got a name
Four seasons that can teach us to change
I got three reasons we could all be saved
Squeeze in through the door
Take a seat down on the floor
Watch the waves of plastic ocean
Breathe the smoke in rising motion
Here the fire will never burn out
Up here on the smokey mountain
Two worlds that are one in the same
One people and we all got a name
Four seasons that can teach us to change
I got three reasons we could all be saved
When you’re going down to the smokey mountain
Take a little time to stop and look around

Green-Hearted Man
03:54
|

Everything went wrong
Everything went way wrong
Guess I waited too long
Guess I waited way too long
Everything went wrong
Everything went wrong
I’m a green-hearted man
I’m a green-hearted man
Body full of soul, skin full of tan
Staying on a roll, sleeping when I can
I’m a green-hearted man
I’m a green-hearted man
Everything felt right
Everything felt so right
Hiding in plain sight
Waiting to come to light
Yeah, it felt so right
Everything felt right
I’m a green-hearted man
I’m a green-hearted man
Body full of soul, skin full of tan
Staying on a roll, sleeping when I can
I’m a green-hearted man
I’m a green-hearted man

Set Me Free
03:42
|
|||
Struggling to let go
Struggling to say goodbye
To a life
To a way of living
That I’ve been living
If you call that living
If you call that life
Come on and set me free
I’ve been waiting to be set free
Come on and let it be
Come on and set me free
From this life
From this road
From this lie
That I’ve been walking towards
They call in the light
At the end of the tunnel
But you know that tunnel
Looks a lot like the bottom of a grave
And the light burns out
Because its fleeting
I can’t escape this feeling
There’s more to life than this
Come on and set me free
I’ve been waiting to be set free
Come on and let it be
Come on and set me free

The Fear
04:32
|
|||
Stuck inside your mind
You’re going crazy
Your luck has run out this time
You go lazy
You gotta stop
You gotta look around
You gotta go
You gotta get on out of here
You can stick around
‘Cause the fear is just gonna keep you down
Smoke and mirrors
It’s all fogged
Its gettin’ clearer
I see the sun
I see the stars
I know the truth
Its gettin’ nearer
You gotta stop
You gotta look around
You gotta go
You gotta get on out of here
You can stick around
‘Cause the fear is just gonna keep you down
The wind will blow it all away
Until the fire turns into rain
To wash away the fear and pain
And usher in a brand new day
You gotta stop
You gotta look around
You gotta go
You gotta get on out of here
You can stick around
‘Cause the fear is just gonna keep you down

Cardinal
05:08
|
|||
Take your time, ’cause it flies
Like the birds in the sky
They don’t reap, they don’t sow
Yeah, they’re fine
And when it’s time, we all die
No need to run, no need to cry
‘Cause we don’t choose, when or why
So take your time
I ride as fast as the cardinal flies
I ain’t no falcon, yeah I take my time
Gonna get where I’m going, gonna be on time
It’s a race to the bottom, so i’ll end up on top
I’ll be singing in the morning before the sun starts to rise
You ain’t never heard a bird sing a song like mine
Fly, fly, fly cardinal, fly
I change as fast as the mockingbird song
I ain’t no owl, yeah I don’t stay long
Gonna be who I am in the moment that’s all
‘Cause this moment is fleeting, yeah we ain’t got long
I’ll be flying through the night before the moon starts to rise
Have you ever seen the sun set from the sky
Fly, fly, fly cardinal, fly
Take your time, ’cause it flies
Like the birds in the sky
They don’t reap, they don’t sow
Yeah, they’re fine
And when it’s time, we all die
No need to run, no need to cry
‘Cause we don’t choose, when or why
So take your time

Whispering Pine Part II
04:55
|
|||
75 feet tall and two feet across
I’ve seen nearly 500 years as they’ve all come and gone
I’ve seen the people change from Americans to whites
They started tapping my friends for their turpentine
My family got split for the big navy ships
And others went to Brooklyn to hold up that bridge
That time I didn’t think I’d make it through
The whispering pine standing over you
That time I didn’t think I’d make it through
But here I am standing next to you
I was 59 for the first colony
I was 228 when they said “the land of the free”
I was 317 when they all went to war
I saw brothers fighting brothers and what was it for
I was 356 when James Boyd came to town
He built Weymouth, he bought land, and the fire burned all around
That time I didn’t think I’d make it through
The whispering pine standing over you
That time I didn’t think I’d make it through
But here I am standing tall right next to you
Hurricane Hazel tried to blow me down
Then came Matthew, tried to make me drown
Then came the ice storms in ’68 and ’69
But through all of this stands the whispering pine
That time I didn’t think I’d make it through
The whispering pine standing over you
That time I didn’t think I’d make it through
But here I am standing tall, standing strong right next to you

Christmas Card Part III
04:18
|
|||
It was 1992
when I wrote this to you
In a Christmas card
From the bottom of my heart
I was reaching out
‘Cause we were losing touch
So I wrote this down
Dear Glenn and Ericka
You take care of the mountain
I’ll take care of the ocean
Angels sang to greet him
And the shepherds ran to meet him
And the wise men knelt before him
Let us all adore him
You take care of the mountain
I’ll take care of the ocean

Vegan with a Sweet Tooth
04:23
|
|||
Trimming bushes in the summer
Plant a garden in the spring
You know nothing could be funner
As long as it’s you and me
Digging ditches in the winter
Fixing leaks in the fall
You know for some it’s like a bummer
But with you I don’t mind at all
Any day’s a good day when I’m with you
You’re my vegan with a sweet tooth
Paddle out in the morning
Go and hike all afternoon
Catch a movie in the evening
Spend all night staring up at the moon
Get delayed in the airport
Now we run to catch the plane
Now we’re sleeping sitting straight up
But with you, Love, it’s all a game
Any day’s a good day when I’m with you
You’re my vegan with a sweet tooth
Everyday’s a good day when I’m with you
You’re my vegan with a sweet tooth
The stars are out tonight, there’s not a cloud in sight
Let’s take the boat for a ride, and see what we can find
Maybe an alligator, maybe signs of our creator
In the shadows on the trees waving in the summer breeze
I’ve got nothing to lose when I’m with my vegan with a sweet tooth
Any day’s a good day when I’m with you
You’re my vegan with a sweet tooth

Gotta Keep Movin'
04:28
|
|||
Now that I’m home I can run away
Out on my own, I’m here to stay
Packing my things in boxes and bags
These old clothes have turned into rags
Gotta keep movin’ on
Gotta keep movin’
Gotta keep movin’ on and on and on
Throwing away what used to be priceless
Old photos of me, but now there’s no likeness
Gravitate towards the recent rendition
And head out the door to continue my mission
Gotta keep movin’ on
Gotta keep movin’
Gotta keep movin’ on and on and on
A rolling stone never grows moss
It’s too busy moving along
Gotta keep movin’ on
Gotta keep movin’
Gotta keep movin’ on and on and on
