1. Love is a Constant Changing
Out on the mesa, in the wheatgrass
Where the blue contrasts with the green
I thought how I wouldn’t go back
I haven’t saved one receipt
Thought of a woman
Who dances with fire in her feet
And how I wish I could keep what I can’t keep
Cause love is a constant changing
Love is a constant changing
Out on the front porch off Sante Fe
You were lulling begging me to stay
Your stone blue eyes
The same just in a different way
I will live, I will die
Every hello and sweet goodbye
It’s oblivion wearing a pretty dress
Cause love is a constant changing
Love is a constant changing
Oh, love is a constant change
All the crumbs that fell
from our children’s lips
The way you tasted when we’d kiss
Our garden-level apartment
and Arizona skies
When we loved well
and sometimes not enough
All the pieces are a mess
but when I add ‘em up
They’re all the things I’m gonna miss most
Cause love is a constant changing
Love is a constant changing
Oh, Love is a constant change with you
2. Lucky Heartache
Hmm, hmm, hey, hey
Heavy enough to bend but not break
How much do I give when you take
I’ll try to leave a light on
I’ll try to help you roll your stone
I love you too much to let you go
Our history is the edge of a knife
Cutting us through
There’s a little truth in every good lie
It’s hard to move on
I think about it all the time
I guess I’m lucky to know heartache
What love knows no heartache?
Hmm, hmm, hey, hey
No need to say it
It’s written in your eyes
We both love a good fight
We are two sides of the same exact coin
You’re far, you’re close, at the same time
Our history is the edge of a knife
Cutting us through
There’s a little truth in every good lie
It’s hard to move on
I think about it all the time
I guess I’m lucky to know heartache
Good love knows heartache
If I lose you at least I had something to lose
Good love knows (X3)
If we let go it means we were held on to
Good love know (X3)
Good love knows heartache (X2)
3. Uncertainty
Ruffled all my feathers, tosses me in the wind
Talking in a palindrome
With everything uncertain
It’s lusting for the harbor or Sisyphus rolling
We’re stranded in the hour
With everything uncertain
We don’t have to carry no more
We don’t have to
We don’t have to carry no more
Each path we’re taking I’m on your side
There’s no way of knowing which one is right
But we can dance in the hour
Dance in the unknown
And if heaven gets too heavy, We’ll just let it go
Dressed up like an answer, truths red herring
Outcome puppeteering, when it feels uncertain
We’ll make our bed
In the same one we’re sleeping
‘Cause nothing is wasted
Though it feels uncertain
We don’t have to carry no more
We don’t have to
We don’t have to carry no more
Each path we’re taking I’m on your side
There’s no way of knowing which one is right
But we can dance in the hour
Dance in the unknown
And if heaven gets too heavy I’d rather let it go
And hold on to you, Hold on to you (X5)
4. Forgone
It’s late March and your Christmas lights
are still gutter strung
Like a dead star that’s light is still carrying on
You say if you are free
you shouldn’t have to go and say it
Well from your mouth spills your heart
a story to discredit
Forgone, Forgone, it’s time I be moving on
Forgone, Forgone, easier said than done
The figures don’t quite add up
The sum don’t balance out
Your heart has found a truth
But your mind keeps finding doubt
But then the sun it cracks
like a yoke upon the roof
And from the darkness
you can see good medicine’s in you
Forgone, Forgone, it’s time I be moving on
Forgone, Forgone, easier said than done
Reduced it to its edges, suck the marrow dry
The season’s run its course
The road has passed ya by
But you will stand again
And wear your chin held high
Sing it in refrain, oh the beauty it is to try
Forgone, Forgone, it’s time I be moving on
Forgone, Forgone, easier said than done
Moving on, moving on, moving on, moving on, Easier said than done
5. I Must Believe in the Morning
I must believe in the morning
For dark is the night that I see
I must believe in the morning
To bring the storm to its knees
Yesterday promised but left without keeping
Took off in a long black hearse
Under the weight I was bending and bowing
Like a meadow pressed by the wind
But I’ve watched it grow from green to yellow
Then die and burst up again
The wishing can rot, We got what we got
But dawn is as true as the dusk
I must believe in the morning
For dark is the night that I see
I must believe in the morning
To bring the storm to its knees
Yesterday called but I couldn’t take it
Left a message on my machine
Said she tried to stop running her mind
But the past is always talking
The answers have gone, Reason has too
Like cherry blossoms in the wind
The paths overgrown, Nowhere to go
But hope is a stubborn friend
I must believe in the morning
For dark is the night that I see
I must believe in the morning
To bring the storm to its knees
Nah nah nah, nah nah nah
Nah nah nah, Bring it to its knees
6. Baker’s Dozen
My mind zigzagging, Like lightning in the sky
My mind treadmill running
To what end will I edify
I wanna listen to your chest beating
We don’t have to talk about anything
We don’t have to talk about anything
All your half-drank cups of tea
Smell of bread and the fruit flies buzzing
Time with you is a baker’s dozen
It’s enough to just hold you
It’s enough to just hold you
My mind stuck in a flurry
Too expensive to sustain
My mind rid of the worry
Worth is a place that can’t be named
When the wild world keeps on spinning
We don’t have to know all the meaning
We don’t have to know all the meaning
I want to kiss you and dance to Elton
Mountain of laundry and the sound of cooking
Time with you is a baker’s dozen
It’s enough to just hold you
It’s enough to just hold you
Nothing’s wasted, nothing’s lost
Nothing’s wasted, it’s enough
Nothing’s wasted, nothing’s lost
Nothing’s wasted
It’s enough to just hold you
It’s enough to just hold you
It’s enough to just hold you
It’s enough to just hold you
7. Orion
Foxes have their holes, Yes and birds their nests
But love is a river, A stream that can’t be damned
It flows and belongs like a memory or a sunset
A symphony playing
A beauty that cannot be kept
I croon for you, yet no words to be found
Way the grass moves in the wind spellbound
Free in your love, Free in your love
You surely don’t need me
But you say that you want me
Wolves have their caves
Yes and spiders their webs
But love is a circle, Only held with open hands
I’ll belong to you, Like a bird in the sky
Like Orion draped gently
In the blackness of the night
I croon for you, yet no words to be found
Way the grass moves in the wind spellbound
Free in your love, Free in your love
You surely don’t need me
But you say that you want me
Free, Free in your love
Free, Free in your love
Free, Free in your love
In your love, in your love, oww
8. When the Daisies Bloom Again
When the daisies bloom again
All of the pain between bookends
Pressed my mind into diamonds
Healing never feels like it
To see the pedals stand sunlit
Well time is teasing us now
It’s so easy to fall into your arms
And it’s so hard to get out of my own way
When the daisies bloom again
I hope that we’ll be different,
marred better by the weather and by time
Find ourselves a kinder frame
Be the mountain and the stream
Reap from the harvest of a previous hour
It’s so easy to fall into your arms
And it’s so hard to get out of my own way
Give me a light that never grows dim
Give me a hope when nothing’s certain
Give me a light that never grows dim
Give me a hope when nothing’s certain
Will I know better then? Will I know better then?
When the daisies bloom again
It’s so easy, easy, easy to fall into your arms
And it’s so hard to get out of my own way
9. Southern Facing Room
Oh, when I was aching, with the sigh to fill a hundred gray balloons
Lost in the found knowing I had to say goodbye to you
I had to feel it, felt what I need to
Just cause I’m healing, don’t mean I don’t miss you
You always were my southern facing room
All the light in you, Now we’re too far gone to know
But I still take a piece of you with me everywhere I go
I’d seen enough. but it’s hard to let go of something you love
Why I’ll never shake it, but I found joy in the alchemy of making
I’m not forgetting I had to feel it, felt what I need to
Just cause I’m healing, don’t mean I don’t miss you
You always were my southern facing room
All the light in you, Now we’re too far gone to know
But I still take a piece of you with me everywhere I go
It’s good to say goodbye, goodbye
I’ll find another light, another light
10. Clouds
It hits you like a screaming train
Tryin’ to catch your breath between the waves
I don’t know what to say, the words won’t satisfy
So much is said but not explained
Why love is worth its share of pain
I don’t know where it’s all headed,
but I can stay here tonight
Until the clouds all roll away, roll
Roll away your clouds
I hate to see you circling the drain
A drink to lullaby the pain
I don’t know how it feels, but I’ll wait by your side
Until the clouds all roll away, roll
Roll away your clouds (X2)
Blue skies are comin’, Wait for the light now
we’ll probably be okay
Blue skies are comin’, Wait for the light now,
roll those clouds away
Blue skies are comin’, Wait for the light now
we’ll probably be okay
We’ll probably be okay, Roll away,
We’ll probably be okay, Roll
We’ll probably be okay, Roll away your clouds,
We’ll probably be okay, We’ll probably be okay
So bring your feet back to the ground
Your minds a damn merry go round
I don’t know how this ends
But I’ve got a good feeling
