Wind Dying Down
02:55
|
|||
|
V1:
Nothing ever looks the same tomorrow
Words don’t carry the same sound
Grasping at moments that are borrowed
Counting on the wind dying down
V2:
She left me dangling in the sunshine
Melted snow on the window sill
All she wanted was for me to care
I’m sorry to say, I never will
C1:
As she turns to look back
Through an empty rearview
I’ve gone to something better and new
Now there’s just the simple fact
She’ll never walk in my shoes
She may regret all we didn’t do
But I never will
V3:
Nothing ever looks the same tomorrow
The sound of her words ringing in my head
I know I should feel some sorrow
But I’m feeling alive instead
C2:
As I turn to look back
Through an empty rearview
I hope she’s on to something new…

Wild

V1:
This old house used to be my mother’s
This old house used to stand the test of time
This old house leans into the weather
Let’s in everything that’s cold, wet, and wild
V2:
Tell you what
Let’s put our backs to this field grass
Tamp it down and watch that black blue sky
It’s been so long since I felt the rain coming
Listen for that thunder
Put my hands to the sky
C:
A world gone wild
And so have I
Rain coming in
Sheets blowing on the line
Everything gone wild
So why can’t I
Built to last only works for a time
V3:
Wishes in the wind dropping rain on my face
Wish I could clear out of here
Clear out my mind
Broken windows look out on these dreams
Tempting lightning just to prove I’m alive
C:
A world gone wild
And so have I
Rain coming in
Sheets blowing on the line
Everything gone wild
So why can’t I
Built to last only works for a time
V4:
This old house used to be my mother’s
This old house used to stand the test of time
This old house leans into the weather
Let’s in everything that’s cold, wet, and wild

Nothing Changes
04:29
|
|||
|
V1:
The old picture show has been shut down
Ain’t much to do in this little town
Nobody goes outside
They won’t look you in the eye
But that’s alright with me
I’m not much for pleasantries
And I’d appreciate it if you’d leave me alone
V2:
Mondays come down harder on me these days
Seems I’m waiting round for my life to change
But nothing changes round here, except for the weather
Goes from rain to snow in a mist
Life just seems to stick it in
And I can’t help but notice it’s passing me by
V3:
If I had my wish, I’d wish for something else
Anything just to have a story to tell
Cause I’ve never been able to say
All the things I wanna say
About my hopes and my dreams
My plans and my schemes
Those things that were dear to me
That I starved just to feed the beast
They seem impossible to me

Anywhere With You
04:25
|
|||
|
V1:
Morning on the rails
A train wailing out a song
You slide across the table
And I feel it’s been too long
Since I last saw you
Centering my heart to still
V2:
I’m singing for my breakfast
I don’t know where my stop is
The next stop is the hardest
It’s where we always part ways
I don’t mind a little heartache
It reminds me of the sweet times with you
C:
I’m on a train going nowhere
But I’m glad to be anywhere with you
V3:
It’s time to grab the suitcase
Teapot’s whistling on the stove
I know we gotta leave
But tell me, where am I gonna go?
They’re selling tickets for the future
I’d rather spend a little more of our time
V4:
We draw out this conversation
As we always tend to do
I recall that time in Austin
As you fasten up your shoes
I don’t wanna leave you
And I know you don’t wanna leave me, too
C:
I’m on a train going nowhere
But I’m glad to be anywhere with you
V5:
Marc Severin’s on the radio
And we start to hum along
You look at me and smile
And tell me that’s your favorite song
And we start another story
We go on and on…
C:
I’m on a train going nowhere
But I’m glad to be anywhere with you
V6:
I’m heading down these rails
Rolling through the dawn
This ride is all too short
Even when it feels so long
When I leave I’m going nowhere
But I’m always on my way back to you

Gimme Some More
04:23
|
|||
|
V1:
White Rice, soy sauce, and butter
You scrape the bottom of that bowl
Your eyes make my heart flutter
All I think is give me some more
V2:
We say grace under that picture
John Prine on the kitchen wall
You say, “we ain’t no high church
He’s the best saint we can afford”
C:
Gimme some more
V3:
The sun sets over your shoulder
The wind dies in your hair
My dark heart clouds right over
When your smile isn’t there
I’ll build towers to your beauty
I’ll Bust them down just to get you back
You’re paradise lit on fire
One look from you, and I’ll turn to ash
C:
Gimme some more
B
All I see is meant to be
All I feel is way down deep
All I can see is possibility
Oh you and me
You and me
V4:
Every door and light is on or open
You don’t care what’s lying on the floor
The world may rob us blind and hold us hostage
If I’m with you, give me some more
C:
Gimme some more

Nice to Know Ya
04:01
|
|||
|
V1:
Local gravestones been disappearing at a rapid rate
Granite marked with charcoal tracings and forgotten dates
See their names and imagine I could see their face
And hear stories robbed by time, wind, and torrential rain
C1:
Nice to know ya
Nice to know ya
V2:
Yard sale bibles boxed and loaded, five for a dime
Through the ages, onion skin pages smeared by time
Family trees, dedications and verses underlined
Meant something to someone
Now it means nothing
What a crime
C1:
Nice to know ya
Nice to know ya
V3:
Time’s not waiting for no one
Remember what’s true
Don’t waste no time studying signs
And regretting all we didn’t do
C2:
Nice to know ya
I better be goin’
Ending:
Local gravestones been disappearing at a rapid rate

Love Is a Lemon
04:17
|
|||
|
V1:
Love is a lemon
And I wonder why
It can taste of pulp
And burn your eyes
But in the right hands
With a little time
It becomes sweet
Lemon pie
V2:
One look in the mirror
And I can plainly see
I’m not there yet
Where I should be
Sometimes a lemon
Without a prayer
With no warranty
Beyond compare
V3:
God is my pen pal
Spell checks these songs
God’s punctuation
Is never wrong
He sets the tempo
the notes in the air
He told me once
I’m beyond compare
V4:
So I believe
So I sing
So I give myself
To all things
Broken and screwed up
Beyond repair
Broken and screwed up
Beyond compare
V5:
Love’s never perfect
That much is true
Sometimes it feels that way
For me and you
I can’t compare myself
There’s too much we share
You and me
Beyond compare
V6:
Love is a lemon
And I wonder why
It can taste of pulp
And burn your eyes
But i the right hand
With a little time
It becomes Sweet
Lemon pie

Carry Me Home
03:59
|
|||
|
V1:
My sunshine crashed into a wall
Took a trip from afternoon to nightfall
I’m just a man in the dying light
Crossing over from the dark to the light
V2:
This world kept ringing my bell
Boxed my ears before I fell
Most days are the same, what the hell
Don’t ask the clock because time will never tell
V3:
Hit the ghostly gas, not the holy brake
Wrecked everything in sight for God’s sake
Bit the apple, listened to the snake
Seems I nail most every mistake
B:
There’s a light that shines brighter, last time I checked
I don’t understand it all
I just accept
V4:
It’s not so bad, don’t you see
Got a few friends here with me
Belting out a little off key
Cracking jokes and walking with me

Leave a Little Love
05:41
|
|||
|
V1:
Down on your luck
Maybe you’re on the fence
This great big world stole all your innocence
If it ain’t bad news there ain’t no news at all
V2:
This is my song
My advice to you
Keep your head toward the sky and you’ll make it through
Headed toward those brighter days
I know
C:
So leave a little love
Leave a little love where you go
Go on let your light
Let your bright light show
It only takes a spark to make the fire roar
So leave a little love
Leave a little love where you go
V3:
Up in the air
Trouble all around
Hope is where the lost get found
You can be the reason
Gotta keep believing
I know
C:
So leave a little love
Leave a little love where you go
Go on let your light
Let your bright light show
It only takes a spark to make the fire roar
So leave a little love
Leave a little love where you go
B:
Be light
Be hope
You’re the spark
I know
Ending:
Leave a little love
Leave a little love where you go

supported by 4 fans who also own “Together, We Are the International Treasures”
I enjoy Sarah's treatment of the holiday classics, but her original - 'Light' - is really something special. The tune, the tone, the lyrics and her delicate voice combine to send me into a state of peaceful repose, basking in a soft light.
