The Cedar And The Pines

I won't put you in a box, I won't put you there my love
'Cus you belong to the wind
There are many forces that drew me to you
You weren't ready for me then
The cedar and the pines that wrapped our dreams up tight
They hid us from the warden's eye
It was not up to me, but I wanted to break free
With you into the night
So I got out alive, ran as far as I could fly
Across the fields of regret
There is no greater prison under the blue sky
Than to know what could have been...

The Gathering Time

Coming down, crashing hard
I've taken some things for granted
I look up, there you are
Patiently observing
Who I am in your story
Hollowed out halls in dreams
People laughing, standing 'round a fire
Of our love
Kicking embers in the darkness
Up on the mountain, you said the gamble was mine
I remember your harvest eyes
In the gathering time

Lake

He sends his dreams out on wings into the night
He lights a cigarette, looks out across the city lights
Cut across his cheek, bullet in his pride
What kind of man wouldn't just run and hide
Every mistake he's made rings in his mind
He's gonna take it to the grave
Every drag he takes fills up his chest
Like the water from the lake
Candle light alone, she takes her dishes to the sink
The kids are waiting cross town, she doesn't even blink
She grabs her wallet and her keys, makes it to the door
Turns back to the empty house, no one really lives there anymore
Every mistake she's made rings in her mind
Now she thinks she's gonna break
Every breath she takes fills up her chest
Like water from the lake...

Mmm Hey You

Hey you, where did you end up going?
Who did you end up knowing?
I remember those nights on the outskirts of town
In the house that they tore down
Maybe the music was all that held it together
Sheltered us from all coming weather
In the deep of it all, I saw your card was wild
I kept my mouth shut, and you smiled
Mmm hey you
What are you doing tonight out there?
Hey you, the dream didn't go as planned
Other stuff came up instead
The fool is still alive, surviving on threads of songs
Wondering where you have gone
Mmm hey you
What are you doing tonight out there?

Anything you say now will be used against you
No one can defend you from a restless heart
You see him in the pages of his true confession
Deep in his obsession, your back casts a shadow
And you won't be hangin' 'round to feel the knife
Yeah, you've stitched yourself up already once or twice
If the bleeding stops, you'll get another chance
You barely can believe him, burning up with fever
If only you could leave him to the ghosts of his past
Standing on the shoulder, someone's pulling over
You see into the future, another set of rules
And you won't be hangin' 'round to feel the knife
Yeah, you've stitched yourself up already once or twice
If the bleeding stops, you'll get another chance
Another...

Time's been having its way with me
Lost in dreams lately
You were just a kid when I first saw you
Wings of white coming soon
In the light of the moon
Nothing we said was ever spoken
The sleeping words never were awoken
Buried under needles in the changing times
I sent my dreams into the timber
Behind the house, I still remember
Little bird from the woods
Where my best stand stood
I will not forget
Don't give up on me yet
Walking through the dark with a line in my head
I can't tell you what it means
Out on a limb, we sing to the empty night
Nothing more than to live our dreams
Little bird from the woods
Where my best stand stood
I will not forget
Don't give up on me yet
I'm still singing the song
But I don't know how long
I can be this free
Time's catching up on me...

Empty Fields

Laying in their bed alone, just before he drifts off to sleep
He thinks of her out there somewhere
She can't sleep, she can't dream, turning in the darkness alone
Her lover in another town
Ghosts in the shadows
Empty fields and pure regrets
The harvest is all gathered
What will they ever do with it
A kid on a bike, riding down the county road
He wonders, who must live in that place
She gets up before dawn, humbled in a new way
She makes up her mind to go back home
Ghosts in the shadows
Empty fields and pure regrets
The harvest is all gathered
What will they ever do with it

Only One

Sometimes I feel like this is how it should be
Sometimes I feel like I don't know what to do
Sometimes I think that you still want me
Sometimes I think that I don't appeal to you
Maybe tonight I'll get myself together
Maybe tonight I'll saddle up and ride
It's lookin' like we might get some weather
Even though there ain't a cloud in the sky
I will never be the only one
I could be happy in the wilderness alone
I could be happy with just a little touch
I could be lonely in a room full of people
I could be lonely, but I'd miss you so much
I will never be the only one

Ships

Here we are, out on the horizon
Two ships passing
The water's quiet for this season, at this time of night
You were born to sail
You were born to cross an ocean
Where I've been, what I'm carrying
Is heavy on my mind
In the deep, out of the blue, here I am with you
If I loved you, would you see me in the dark?
You were born to sail
You were born to cross an ocean
Here we are, going separate ways
Ships in the night...
