DISCOGRAPHY

THE ISLANDS

Been falling back lately
Losing my gaze, been at sea for days
And I’m wanting home badly
All these waves have had me

But a distant glow’s been leading me on

There’s a lighthouse lighting the night up
Like a siren, gotta get some, gotta get some and with your fire, you could ignite us
And your eyes can see through the silence of the islands

This ship may be sinking
There’s cracks in the hull, it’s filling with water
And I might not make it home
Am I joining the fallen?

Will the distant glow carry on?

There’s a lighthouse lighting the night up
Like a siren, gotta get some, gotta get some and with your fire, you could ignite us
And your eyes can see through the silence of the islands

There’s a lighthouse lighting the night up
Like a siren, gotta get some, gotta get some and with your fire, you could ignite us
And your eyes can see through the silence

There’s a lighthouse lighting the night up
Like a siren, gotta get some, gotta get some and with your fire, you could ignite us
And your eyes can see through the silence of the islands

You see through the silence of the islands
See through the silence of the islands

CHANDOS

Couple hours and I’m non-stop dreaming
Reminisce about a road this long
Sweet nostalgic kind of north lake fever
Radio would play a wheat king’s song

Take an exit, turn the car around
Load the fishing boat and hit the ground running
Take a backroad to a northern town
Roll the windows down and breathe that city out

We’re going up to Chandos honey
I know it’s kinda far, I know we got no money
But I’m dreaming of the lakeside and I gotta have it

We’re going up to Chandos baby
I know it’s getting late, I know it’s kinda crazy
But I’m thinking that it’s time to get away from the traffic

Mr. Country’s got his corn fields growing
Reaching higher just to feed his cows
They’ve been drinking from the rivers flowing
From the waters where the hills are rolling out

So now..

We’re going up to Chandos honey
I know it’s kinda far, I know we got no money
But I’m dreaming of the lakeside and I gotta have it

We’re going up to Chandos baby
I know it’s getting late, I know it’s kinda crazy
But I’m thinking that it’s time to get away from the traffic

We’re going up to Chandos honey
I know it’s kinda far, I know we got no money
But I’m dreaming of the lakeside and I gotta have it

We’re going up to Chandos baby
I know it’s getting late, I know it’s kinda crazy
But I’m thinking that it’s time to get away from the traffic

Thinking that it’s time to get away from the traffic

COYOTES

There's coyotes

Howling out as if they know me

The candle's burning out to leave me lonely

Like a king without a crown

Or the moon spinning circles looking down

In Wyoming

The flame is burning out but you're my only

My solitary crowd to keep me company

And offer my way out

Of the labyrinth of common fate and doubt

There's coyotes

Howling out their karaoke

They're circling the town to catch their phoney

He's calling out the loudest

Cause he feels like no one else can hear his sound

A THOUSAND WORDS

There’s a thousand words on the tip of my tongue
That I’d like to say but I can’t choose one
There’s a thousand words spinning ‘round in my brain
You’ve got a way of driving me insane

I remember we were seventeen
Our hearts were broke, but the grass was always green
I tried too hard to make you stay
And in the end, it just pushed you away

But sometimes things align
It all works out in time

If I had to fall
I’d fall for ya
If you can’t get home
I’ll wait for your call

I’ll wait for your call

I decided that I had to get clean
Take care of myself to take care of my queen
Now I can give you everything that you need
Tell me love, what’s your wildest dream?

Cause sometimes things align
It all works out in time

And if I had to fall
I’d fall for ya
If you can’t get home
I’ll wait for your call

I’ll wait for your call

WATERFALL

Set up camp on the cliffside
Through the early morning fog
Spent a life chopping down pine
To fill the river up with logs

To stop the waterfall

Now water fills the campsite
Coming down from the dam
I’ve been trying to release it
The best I can

And let the waterfall

Now the air calls for springtime
Jumped the cliff, cannonball
Leave that old dam behind,
Make some sense of it all

And ride the waterfall

Ride the waterfall

TAKE A HOLD OF ME

I went back to wandering
Cause you’ve been gone and you left me with nothing
Just food for the wildlings

They said you’d been broken
By hard knocks and hoping that one day you’d get it
But you won’t admit it

I said you
You can barely move
I’ll take a weight off you
Said yee
I could set you free
Take a hold of me

You’ve been facing your back to the winter
You can’t know the face of the coming storm
All the cracks in the floorboards are splintered
But I’m taping ‘em up, got a fire going to keep you warm

I said you
You can barely move
I’ll take a weight off you
Said yee
I could set you free
Take a hold of me

RIVERBANK

Holding your breath, watching the time
Praying to find
Your restless hoping
Will take you for a ride
Even the flee market man raised the price signs

You're counting your pills
You can't sit still
Long enough to take your picture

But I'd sit out on this riverbank
With you and watch the sun just 'cause I missed ya

In the summer
In the summer back home
We were fine on our own
Wasting the days and digging up bones

You're counting your pills
You can't sit still
Long enough to take your picture

But I'd sit out on this riverbank
With you and watch the sun just 'cause I missed ya

REALLY DON'T MIND

I wanna take you to west street
I wanna show you the best of me, baby
Honey maybe I’m guessing
That neither one of us is better alone
And the bank account’s blown on whiskey and coke
I ain’t young anymore
But if you come to see, you’re not gonna wanna leave

And no one’s going home in the dead of winter

We can stay together for the rest of the night
I really don’t mind, I really don’t mind
If you didn’t get me I’ll be singing it twice
I really don’t mind taking my time
The moment’s gone too fast
When you’re facing the hourglass
So baby if you wanna waste away the daylight
I really don’t mind losing my mind again

I really don’t mind, I really don’t mind

Wanna take you to the east coast
Wanna take another long way home
And I wanna see you out at my shows
I wanna see your face wherever I go
In the morning, I’ll be hoping
That you’re still there when I roll
Baby can’t you see?
I never want you to leave

And no one’s going home in the dead of winter

I really don’t mind, I really don’t mind

I really don’t mind losing my mind again

THE HAZE

Spent my time walking up and down twenty-two
Went back to Boston, but I couldn’t find you
I took it as fortune but I misunderstood
So I’m leaving Boston, heading back to the woods

Twenty years later, it feels like the fall
But the leaves turned from green into nothing at all

Now I’m breaking through my haze
And through my days
My sanity has gone the other way
But you’ll see my face in your glory days
The things I used to say and the games you used to play

The rain washed stains
The gravity starts pulling you away
My pain refrains
And I’m coming through the haze

Now I’m running away from my place
Last time you wasted my grace
How could you hate me? I make everywhere your home
You blame the government, but you locked the cage you’re stuck within
You might be back again, but I’ll have changed

I’m breaking through my haze
And through my days
My sanity has gone the other way
But you’ll see my face in your glory days
The things I used to say and the games you used to play

The rain washed stains
The gravity starts pulling you away
My pain refrains
And I’m coming through the haze

Now I’m breaking through my haze
And through my days
My sanity has gone the other way
But you’ll see my face in your glory days
The things I used to say and the games you used to play

The rain washed stains
The gravity starts pulling you away
My pain refrains
And I’m coming through the haze

The haze
And I’m coming through the haze
Coming through the haze

DROWNING

Sometimes I have to wonder what it would take to be set free
Big dreams always surround me, left everything around me

I ran away from nothing, hoping that I’d find something in me
But something turned into nothing, and that’s all that I turned out to be

And I feel like I could be drowning
But I should be grounding myself

And I feel like I could be drowning

I know that season’s gonna change
Too far to grab, to rearrange
I’ve been tired, I’ve been weak
I’ve been left in the street
I’ve been high, I’ve been low
I see patterns so slow

I’ve been tired, I’ve been weak
I’ve been left in the street
I’ve been high, I’ve been low
So low

And I don’t feel like I’m drowning (I’m not drowning) no more
Cause I can feel my heart beating (my heart beating) once more
