Lavender Fields

You said you would take me far away where the reeds would sway
I hold you to this day, forgetting not those promises made
Hold out your hand when it's time
Look up and away we'll fly

Losing Icarus

Fly far away from here
I try to remind you not to
Fly far too close to the sun
All the wax it will run down
Your feathers will fall down
You lost your flight
And i just die oh
A little more inside
A little more inside

Different Dreams

they dream of what they'll make and who they'll be
i dream of the sky and oh i dream of the sea
they dream of who they'll marry one fine day
and oh i try and i try to chase that lovely thought away
don't ask me why,
i'm in love with you all, but i find
in this time, i have to be free
and i have to explore what that means
i'll fill these colored gardens with my song
i'll sit in the shade of the tree whose branches are long
its here you'll find my heart sown deep in peace
and it's here that i say "i'll never leave, i'll never leave, i'll never leave"
this too shall pass
i imagine in time i'll look back
and be glad at what then was found
and the roots that were grown in the ground
i've come to find that these wings that are mine
weren't made to be tied, they were made to fly
you bring your banjo and i'll bring my drum
we'll sing the song that was made to fill our lungs

Fancy Idea
04:58
|
|||
|
Lay me down
I'm just a fancy idea now
I've turned so far away
You wouldn't recognize my face
And I have changed
In all the ways you wouldn't like
And that's okay
Go right along
And write another pretty song
Of all the ways
That I have brightened
And I've darkened your good heart
I've built a thousand walls between you and I
And you know I didn't want to
You know I didn't want to
You know I didn't want to

Sunlit

|
walking in the shadows now
i can feel Your voice just like my heartbeat
walking in the wilderness
i can feel Your voice here in my bloodstream
the sunlight between the trees
turns my skin golden
the sunlight between the trees
makes me warm again
i could tarry to and fro
You will ever always go before me and behind me
the winds they carry heaven’s wings
i hear their songs rustle the leaves above me and around me
the sunlight between the trees
turns my skin golden
the sunlight between the trees
makes me warm again
running, running to the way i’ve always known You to feel
running, running like a daughter running in her Father’s fields
like waves of flowers over oceans over seas over mountains over me

Half A Dozen

Waterfalls, they're posing for pictures
There, standing before--my lovely sisters
Days on the road
Where they traveled from east and to west
A car packed with boxes and clothes
To see our country's best
I was a long, long way from home
I was a long, long way from home
Soft ivory keys, my beautiful mother
He's listening to his life-long lover
I'd turn away when they kissed
They were so much in love
Two hearts so perfectly knit
Like a hand fits a glove
I was a long, long way from home
I was a long, long way from home
I always wanted to love you right
I'd write a book because I'm so damn proud
Look, oh just look, at how they turned out
Seeds that were planted
And nurtured until they were ripe
Gardens like that
Don't just grow up and bloom overnight
I was a long, long way from home
I was a long, long way from home
We've struggled through so many dark times
Tattered and torn and no place to hide
See how I've wronged you
See how I've laughed and scorned
See how you've loved me the same
And you've loved me more
I was a long, long way from home
I was a long, long way from home
I always wanted to love you right

measure of a man
03:12
|
|||
|
the measure of a man
is not the work of his hands
or the clothes on his back
or beauty that fades on the outside
that man looks at
and he was walking with the stance
of one captive to the fear of man
and i was trying to set him free
but the love of a girl isn't the love of Jesus
and who am i but just the same?
oh you can't win 'em all and it is such a shame
and if they don't like me, then that's okay
cause the measure of a man doesn't work that way

Cedar Lines

On these hardwood floors i need a blanket
The night is getting cold and i can't take it
Too many cups of coffee keep me awake and
On these hardwood floors i need a blanket
Quiet holiday without my family
Hovering through the city with no landing
The weather has a way of understanding
It's a quiet holiday without my family

Lie Down Runner

Flowers laced on the side
Of the long wedding aisle
Clothed in the white of a gown,
Bare feet on the ground
Danced through the night
You said "I'm yours
And beloved, you're mine"
Sealed with a kiss
And the heavens came down
From the sky
So I walk away
To a love less wild
You say "Beloved, stay"
But have you lost your mind?
These hands that are stained
These wandering eyes
I fear I'm inclined
To leave your side
The rows of the field were so tall
You said "We'll run through them all"
Taking my hand and we ran
And the world felt so small
The trees and the shade
And we'd walk through the glade all the while
Your heart in mine and in yours
And I've come so alive

River Room

Found You laying by the river on the ground
Locked like a treasure but now
I found the key when I laid down with You
And You had drawn me there
Luring like a lover in a thirsty air
You knew me like a scribe knows his written word
You knew me like a fire knows how to burn
And my soul was parched
I drank You like a wanderer who's nearly starved
I searched You like a sailor searches open seas
I searched for You like You searched for me
And the days they pass
And only the purest in heart will last
Cause hope will be added unto their faith
Cause the purest in heart will see Your face
And You dress my head
Before You take me into the Lover's bed
The mystery is man made heir to You
The mystery is I am betrothed to You
And now I find You here
For You are in me and I in You, my dear
You come like the winds of a mighty storm
You come gentle as the dew of morn

Towering Hollows
05:28

Days when the rain fell heavy
It fell on our heads
Days when the sky grew darkened
And you closed your eyelids
And I kissed them gently
And you were mine then
And I said "There's the gray tower,
And I'm gonna climb it."
I climbed a tall, tall tower
I climbed a tall, tall tower
It was empty inside, empty inside
Shadowy trees all around us
In the countryside
There, where the land was untouched
And the sun would hide
'Neath the horizon
And our breath was cold as ice
I left your side then
For I'd a tower to climb
I climbed a tall, tall tower
I climbed a tall, tall tower
It was empty inside, empty inside
Maybe I was lost
The grass would stand so tall
Those tangled burs and weeds
Hand outstretched
But you couldn't reach me
