Perfectly You

So Perfectly You
Yours to tell
Yours to remember
Yours to forgive
In the cold of December
Yours to forget
Yours to buy
Yours to sell
This is your time to fly
So which one should you tell?
The one you wrote?
Or the one you lived,
That carried you home?
You can walk this world so beautifully you
When you're out there
And doubt creeps in on you
I won’t leave you all alone
I’ll be right beside you
You can walk this world so perfectly you

Cold Metal Satellite

Cold Metal Satellite
Turn your bellows into song
Sing until the shadows are long
A foolish boy in a fallow field
Blazes out his fear with round-wound steel
In the darkness, I felt you shiver
In the cold, I heard you cry
When home is just past the headlights
Keep your eyes on the words that rhyme
I saw something moving in the sky
From the corner of my one good eye
Could be a dying star burning bright
Or the cold metal of a satellite
Turn your bellows into song
Sing until the shadows are long
A foolish boy in a fallow field
Blazes out his fear with round-wound steel

Where Only Love Resides

Where Only Love Resides
Holding hands between two worlds
The darkness and the din
I tried to be brave for you
But the shadows had crept in
I’ll take you to a house on a hill
Where we can stand and be still
With the sun in our eyes
The shadows recede
Where only love resides
And we can just be
I’ll take you to a house on a hill
Where we can stand and be still
With the sun in our eyes
The shadows recede
Where only love resides
And we can just be
A ghost and fragile mind
Say it’s time to go
Where the sun is in our eyes
The shadows recede
Where only love resides
And we can just be
Where the sun is in our eyes
The shadows recede
Where only love resides
And we can just be

Bad Blood

Bad Blood
Bad blood
From a dark place
I can tell you’re lying
From the look on your face
As tears stream down your dirty cheeks
Where will you be
When the lights shine
Down on the street
Are you living in a future
You don’t understand
It’s a fairy tale and it’s pushing
Your head in the sand
Live
Don’t spend your time dying
High
I can hardly get lower
Love
It’s okay if you’re crying
Fast
I can hardly get slower
Smoke
It’s pushing its feelings on the wheel
Fire
The rain and the raven will tell you
Steal
It’s all part of the deal
Give
Your secrets away if you wanna
Live
Get out of this place
I can tell you’re lying from the look on your face
‘Cause I can tell you’re lying from the look on your face

The Breeze Meets Willow
Willow was willing dreams away
When she met The Breeze
The Breeze traveled out over the field
Making waves in the wheat
Ignoring the chatter in the corn
And wound up at Willow’s feet
I know the sound of thunder
I bring the smell of rain
When lightning splits your life asunder
I’ll be there to ease your pain
That’s how The Breeze met Willow
That’s why Willow weeps
A thousand breezes lay their secrets bare
Right down at Willow’s feet
I know the sound of thunder
I bring the smell of rain
When lightning fills your world with thunder
I’ll be there to ease your pain
I know the sound of thunder
I bring the smell of rain
Like the breeze that shakes the leaves of summer
I’ll be there to ease your pain
I know the sound of thunder
I bring the smell of rain
When troubles fill your world with thunder
I’ll be there to ease your pain

I Don't Know Why

I Don't Know Why
I don't know why I did it
I don't know why I did it
Thought I could put it down
Thought I could quit it
Only eighteen I couldn't admit it
To myself
The devil made me do it
I couldn't see through it
Thought I could live it down
Thought I could prove it
Every minute there's a new man
Fooling himself
I wasn't thinking
I just wasn't thinking
When the sun came up
My eyes were blinking
Looking back now
It really didn't take too long
I was in another town
Thought it would go away
Thought it wouldn't matter
Thought it was yesterday
Thought I could spin a yarn
Good as the day is long
REPEAT CHORUS
I thought I was the emperor
Thought I was the emperor
In my bathrobe
And my underwear
Not naked as a jaybird
Standing on the lawn
I thought the sun
Was over in the east
Thought I could spin it down
Thought I could speak
Faster than the speed of gone
I don't know why I did it
I don't know why I did it
Thought I could put it down
Thought I could quit it
Only eighteen I couldn't admit it
To myself
The devil made me do it
I couldn't see through it
Thought I could live it down
Thought I could prove it
Every minute there's a new man
Fooling himself
Every minute there's a new man
Fooling himself
Every minute there's a new man

Eagle In Flight

Eagle in Flight
Sun beats down on the road
There in a crack a prairie flower grows
Love ripples out with the northern lights
I can see it now from the corner of my eye
Tall as prairie grass standing on the plain
Sharp as thunder, gentle as rain
A heart on fire like a lightning strike
I can see it now from the corner of my eye
I can still see it now from the corner of my eye
May fish know your name wherever you go
May love roll like thunder
May peace come like snow
May the water sing to you in the night
May you look down upon the world like an eagle in flight
The river of time will flow
Sometimes the water is cold
Like shooting stars in a winter sky
I can see their trails from the corner of my eye
I can still see their trails from the corner of my eye
May fish know your name wherever you go
May love roll like thunder
May peace come like snow
May the water sing to you in the night
May you look down upon the world like an eagle in flight
May fish know your name wherever you go
May love roll like thunder
May peace come like snow
May the water sing to you in the night
May you look down upon the world like an eagle in flight
May you look down upon the world like an eagle in flight
May you look down upon the world like an eagle in flight

I Never Lie

I Never Lie
Six pack guys with their sex pot wives
Crew cut kids with wild eyes
A pissed-off biker is standing on the corner
If Jimmy's there get the money that he owes ya
Two kids sittin' by an old tree
Mama's made us all dinner I can hear her calling me
Don't you give me no guff kid you can't fool me
Thought The Who could see far they can't see what I see
Back forty gravel road dust in the air
Grandpa's dandelion wine is the best anywhere
Come on give it up is that all you can do?
I've got ten bucks that says I'm better than you
On the 4th of July there's a big parade
Cherry pie, candy apples and cold lemonade
The kids sit around and drink it all up
If I have another hot dog can I have another cup?
Well it's a knock down, dragged out fight in the street
Come back on Tuesday when it's all you can eat
There's a flatbed truck parked out in the street
For the dance tonight won't you save one for me?
Give me five bucks I'll take you out of here
We'll go down to the airport and watch the planes take the air
Sit out on the car until the sun comes up
Drinking dandelion wine in a coffee cup
Well I've spent all my life living day to day
Picking rock, walking beans and bailing hay
Never thought about my future before today
If I've had a few too many just stay out of my way
Yeah, the devil he's a friend of mine
We made the run to Wichita in double time
If you're gonna dig a hole dig it deep and wide
One thing that's true is that I never lie
Well I never lie
I never lie
I never lie
I never lie
I never lie
I never lie
I never lie
I never lie
I never lie
I never lie
I never lie
I never lie (that's right)

Big Life
It’s a fool’s eye that interprets the sky
It’s a blind illusion on a beam of light
If you listen to the story it doesn’t seem quite right
It’s a true lie in a big life
It was sacred and you
As black became blue
Faces were pinned to the wind again
Shooting stars lit up the sky
But this time my mind was quiet
It’s a fool’s eye that interprets the sky
It’s a blind illusion on a beam of light
If you listen to the story it doesn’t seem quite right
It’s a true lie in a big life
Minds only on the sky
Falling stars in a long night
Pouring shouts and rain again
Crowds and waves cave in
It’s a fool’s eye that interprets the sky
It’s a blind illusion on a beam of light
If you listen to the story it doesn’t feel quite right
It’s a true lie in a big life
It’s a fool’s eye that interprets the sky
It’s a blind illusion on a beam of light
If you listen to the story it doesn’t feel quite right
It’s a true lie in a big life
It’s a true lie in a big life
It’s a true lie in a big life
