Kerosene 03:56
Starin' at the whitewash, listening to screen doors slam It's hot as hell and blazin' on the Mexican black top today Voices play like broken records that never stop spinning Layin' here lookin' at the ceiling wondering What you're doing tonight Rain is fallin' down now, the roof is leakin' on my skin The noise it never stops now, it hits me like a gail force wind Sweat drips down and I'm alone in a crowd Look around and see those eyes they're chocolate brown and I wonder what you're doing tonight Sun beats down but the silence drowns I scream loud but I make no sound The sun is shinin' down now, the kids run 'round with barefoot feet They hold my hand and play now, they light up just like kerosene They sing songs about God and true life They sing loud and I can't help but smile and I wonder What you're doing tonight

Come take a ride You can sit next to me in the passenger seat Come take a ride Help me navigate, you'll be my dashboard drummer We'll sell all we have, and pack it all in We'll never turn back or we'll turn to stone All I want is to see the world with you All I want is to see you Come take a ride I will sing a song for you called the Soundtrack of Us Come take a ride We will leave this redlight town and not turn around We'll sell all we have, and pack it all in We'll take wanderlust, and all of our dimes, leave nothing behind All I want is to see the world with you All I want is to see you

Honeybee 03:01
You're like a butterfly, and I've got an eagle's eye I see you flyin' high You drop down close to me and I hear your melody I wish I could fly but I'm no butterfly You're like the cavalry, and I'm like a centipede I feel you run over me You're like a maple tree and I'm like a honeybee Just one leaf can cover me, I'm just a honeybee Did you know the words you said live in my memory Think of all the times I cried out to you You said it's not you, it's me You're my noreaster wind, knock down my walls again When you come around, don't even try and bring me down Or I'll leave without a sound You're like a butterfly and I've got an eagle's eye I see you flyin' high You drop down close to me and I hear your melody And I wish I could fly, but I'm no butterfly

I feel tongue tied, like something's in my throat A gag's been tied around my mouth and cut off from my heart I see your pain, and feel it too Sister, this whole song's for you I will hold you, hold you in the light "Til this battle's done I will hold you, hold you in the light 'Til this fight is won I will hold you, hold you in the light It's been a lean month, and a meaner year The fear it grips me, from my head to my toes I'm tryin' to get well, life's givin' us hell But it won't 'til the price is right I will hold you, hold you in the light 'Til this battle's done I will hold you, hold you in the light 'Til this fight is won I will hold you, hold you in the light Just keep putting one foot in front of the other x4 I will hold you, hold you in the light 'Til this battle's done I will hold you, hold you in the light 'Til this fight is won I will hold you, hold you in the light I'll light a candle for you x4

Connecticut 03:34
Went to Connecticut today It was nice to leave the city It looked the same as Ohio or Indiana But it's not the same, guess I wish it was I saw a butterfly today It was the biggest I had ever seen But I saw it mounted on the wall It couldn't fly, cuz it's not real It's not real, guess I wish it was And in my mind, I see it fly higher than I've ever seen A butterfly fly High as a kite, but it's not right It's mounted on the wall, so still, it never will fly But it's alright, it's gonna be alright Went to Connecticut today It was nice to leave the city I saw a butterfly today, it was the biggest I had ever seen

Paint Me 02:58
Paint me, o paint me in Harlem and Brooklyn Under those city lights in halos of smoke Paint me, o paint me in Queens and Manhattan Walkin' so lowly, the moon risin' slow Never felt better, never felt smaller Never felt so close or so far from home Paint me, o paint me near the cathedral The one near 112th on the upper west side Paint me, paint me singin' in subways Beggin' for strangers to spare me a dime Never felt braver, never felt dumber Never felt so in or so out of love Paint me, o paint me next to my lover Paint us into forever 'til heaven comes down Paint me, o paint me with roses and candles Layin' so peaceful on this hallowed ground Never felt richer, never felt poorer Never felt so close to hatred and love And I'm always hungry but this city feeds me With all of its poetry, its people and sounds

It's Saturday morning, or afternoon Just woke myself up dreamin' of you I dreamt you brought me some flowers and some coffee Lookin' around and I don't see you anywhere Just me my coffee The house is so quiet, just me and the cat Your flowers from last spring, hand dead in my room The winter cold chills me, reminds of you and How cold your words were when you shut the door and you said I won't be seeing you I won't be seeing you I've been layin' in this bed since 9pm last night There's a pillow where your body used to lie I try to forget how good you smelled all the damn time But I can't I go through the motions, I'm brushin' my teeth I take my shower and stare at my feet I dry my hair and put on all of my makeup I take the trash out and feed the cat, then I sit Just me and my coffee Just me and my coffee

Bird Song 04:03
Once there was a very colorful bird but she didn't know how to fly so she never spread her wings Days passed by and she grew tired of waiting of sitting and wishing and she decided it was time To learn how to fly, to learn how to fly, to learn how to fly She perched low, as close to the ground as she could In order not to fall and she felt very small Though she feared the heights that she'd never climbed to She knew the time had arrived for her to begin to try To learn how to fly, to learn how to fly, to learn how to fly The day had come for her to spread her wings, So she opened them up and she prepared for the jump Before she flew, she turned her eyes to the sky And said "I'll see you soon" and off of the edge she flew She learned how to fly, she learned how to fly, she learned how to fly

Fireflies 02:51
Fireflies and lemonade Children showing the pictures they made at a party On a Saturday Fire's burning outside, the moon's shining bright And there's no pollution from the city lights, but that's just a memory And I'm singing my songs on Grandma's piano They say it's out of tune, but it sounds alright to me Empty bottles litter the floor, candle's burning like my need for more of whatever it is, I am looking for Soda water, aspirin, both the stuff of my new regimen And I feel like I'm flyin' I feel like I'm flyin'
10.
Through fire and under seas, that's where you'd go with me You'd take hold of my hand, wouldn't let go 'til we landed 'Til we were free Through tempest storm so raging, that's where you'd go with me You'd stand right next to me, help me keep up on my feet 'Til we were free Through wartorn bloodied countryside, that's where you'd go with me You'd hold your sword up high, hold your shield right next to mine 'Til we were free I'm barely breathing, I'm hangin' by a thread You stay right with me, you put your hand beneath my head I'm barely breathing, I'm hangin' by a thread You stay right with me, you put your hand beneath my head Through darkness, space and time That's where you'd go with me Through sickness and in health, Through poverty and wealth That's where you'd go with me That's where you'd go with me
