Pilot Light

Since you’re gone I sleep too much
The sun and I don’t keep in touch
Passersby say looks like nobody’s home
Critters pile around the pilot light
Sharing crumbs I left last night
How much longer must you keep me here alone
Let me know
If you’re coming home
I can see the moon now through the trees
Winter is close I feel it in my knees
Your scent just left the sweater that you stole from me
A love never goes but it starts to hurt
There’s no starting over just getting back to work
And that’s all that there is and all that there will ever be
Let me know
Let me know
Let me know
If you’re coming home

Day Off
03:36
|

Would it be such a bad idea if we take the whole day off
I’ve been screaming in a shag rug and don’t it sound like I got a cough
We could call in sick then go get some sunshine in our eyes
There’s some wildflowers blooming by the river and I wanna see them before they die
We could play Monopoly if you got a year to burn
Or brush up on our Urdu takes the same time to learn
Just look at it this way it’s another no good dead end job
And playing hooky is only taking money from the man or the mob
Losers two
Losers toodaloo
Losers two
Losers toodaloo
Gathering pedigree doesn’t mean that much to me
See music is easy you just have to count to three four
But say the word and we’re in the car with a picnic packed and a parlor guitar
Besides we slept through the second alarm and that’s one foot in the door
Losers two
Losers toodaloo
Losers two
Losers toodaloo
No there’s nothing like a day off so to speak
I could see this really getting out of hand and turn into a week
And when I come in monday and they ask where you been and why
I’ll say the pep in my step is as good you’re gonna get for an alibi

The Word The War
03:09
|
|||
|
In a canopy of trees there’s a sleepless queen
With a plum in her hand and a crown on her knee
Slowly slipping
Leaning on a rail there’s a boy who wants to know
Why bad people stay and good people go
Hands gripping
Lost in the heat there’s a worm on the path
That was never gonna make it to the cool green grass
Hate to see it
But what you gonna have if you never take a chance
If you never tell yourself you can when you can’t
Better to believe it
Going down
That’s the word that’s the war
Make a sound
They’ll never break through the door
Just as everyone had given up
Queen takes her leave boy takes her cup
Just say when
What good’s a home if it isn’t full of love
A cold hand reaches for the reading light above
Sleepless again
And I’m just there taking it in
Going down
That’s the word that’s the war
Make a sound
They’ll never break through the door
Take it
Take it

Holiday
03:04
|
|||
|
You’re twisting my words
I’m twisting yours
But we know each other’s mind
From far away you’re still
With me all the time
Back and forth
Taking turns
Breaking each other’s heart
I guess it makes sense we
Take some time apart
On a holiday
What does it mean to you
Are we just saying goodbye for now
Or saying we’re through
If we still feel the way we do
Then what are we doing now
I’m locking eyes with the wall
And staring back at the clouds
On this holiday
What does it mean to you
Are we just saying goodbye for now
Or saying we’re through
Holiday
Holiday
If there’s nothing left to say
Can we end this holiday

Didn't I
05:00
|
|||
|
Nothing in this room is moving
I haven’t heard my name in seven days
Didn’t I didn’t I didn’t I
Tell you I love you more
All the windows down for the season
The sun is breaking through like a rat in a maze
Didn’t I didn’t I didn’t I
Live in your heart before
The mysteries in my head keep playing
My wings only fly every other time
Couldn’t you couldn’t you couldn’t you
Spare me from my mind
I’m a honey bee in this moment
Soon to be a grape left on the vine
Couldn’t you couldn’t you
Say goodnight instead of saying goodbye
Don’t say you’re sorry then disappear
All of my wounds are from your spear
I knew you’d go just not so soon
Watch now how all the stillness blooms
Don’t you hang your head my children
I left the key hanging on the door
Didn’t I didn’t I didn’t I
Tell you I love you more
Didn’t I didn’t I didn’t I
Tell you I love you more
Didn’t I tell you I love you
Didn’t I tell you I love you more

Listening
03:24
|

|
Came in walked right past
Knew I hadn’t seen you for the last
Said hello that was all
Floor began to shake
Sky began to fall
And I flew
I flew
Just listening
Listening to you
Making all my dreams come true
Listening
Listening to you
Making all my dreams come true
Hang on be right there
Couldn’t help but notice
The color of your hair
Come in kick off your shoes
Close the door tell me the news
The news
Listening
Listening to you
Making all my dreams come true
Listening
Listening to you
Making all my dreams come true

Try Again
03:19
|
|||
|
Hit the store
Hit the snooze
Hit the gym
And hit the booze
Try try try again
Break a leg
Break a bone
Break bread
Break your phone
Try try try again
Life is a ride you don’t know when you might
Break down
But it all works out if you try again
Fall asleep
Fall apart
Fall in love
But you fall to hard
Try try try again
Life is a ride you don’t know when you might
Break down
But it all works out if you try again
Life is a ride you don’t know when you might
Break down
But it all works out if you try again
Pull a weed
Pull a yarn
Bide your time
Til you buy the farm
Try try try again
Try try until the end
Try try try again

Mission
03:40
|
|||
|
On a mission to find you I got lost in the rain
On a quest up north I got tossed in the fray
But then you found me all I could say
C’mon hon’ stay
On a trip out south we ran aground
In Savannah’s mouth we swam in the sound
But then I lost you through the crowd
C’mon hon’ quit fooling around
Fade to black
Turn the music down
There’s a bad thing going around
But I know I’d be safe if I’m with you
Down a wishing well I threw everything I own
Far as I can tell love is all I can hold
And I still can’t find you I don’t know where to go
C’mon hon’ let me know
Fade to black
Turn the music down
There’s a bad thing going around
But I know I’d be safe if I’m with you

More Than This
03:48
|
|||
|
Long ago I heard a voice
Say all you have is a choice
Where you go can’t come back
And so I turned to the black
More than this
More than this I can’t write
More than this
More than this I can’t say why
Somewhere along the way
The point starts to fade
Know where I am
Where I’m not
Where I’m going
I forgot
More than this
More than this I can’t write
More than this
More than this I can’t say why
Long ago I heard a voice
Everything else is noise

Pick Up The Pieces
03:23
|
|||
|
Pick up the pieces that have fallen down
Rearrange your words til you like the sound
An echo in the valley or a whisper in my ear
I know you so well I can always hear you clear
Pick up the pieces while you can
Know that everyone will understand
Come back to the table begin again
You lose all your sense when you don’t let me in
So pick up the pieces one last time
I know what you mean when you say goodnight
Alone on the porch watching the storm kick up the clay
I think of how I love you I thank you for the day
I think of how I love you I thank you for the day

Next Time Around
03:44
|
|||
|
Our love went dark and it’s all my fault
The bed is cold with room enough to spare
I see your lights go rolling by
But I never catch your eyes in the glare
Come around and stay a while
You’ll never know how much I care
Now the sun is coming up and I’m going down
I’ll just have to catch you the next time around
I feel your ghost inside these walls
The memories are ringing in my ears
I pace the floor I walk this whole town
With a worried mind tracing back the years
I left a note on your door
And it’s still there just as I had feared
And now the sun is coming up and I’m going down
I’ll just have to catch you the next time around
The street is all backed up from from the train rolling
The rain on your window does a dance
Head on your palm and arm on your door
I’m moving slow but might catch a glance
The train pulled away and so did you
I may never get a chance
Now the sun is coming up and I’m going down
I’ll just have to catch you the next time around
If you’re still rolling through this hole they call a town
I’ll just have to catch you the next time around
