Long Way To Go
01:24
|
|||
|
The sky is the prettiest shade of blue,
and I'm singing all alone to you...
The branches of the trees of reaching high and they're spreading wide,
they've got no leaves...
The first star is shining bright,
it's so early in the night...
We've got a long way to go -
We've got a long way to go,
We've got a long way to go.
We've got a long way to go -
We've got a long way to go,
We've got a long way to go.

House Fire Song
01:26
|
|||
|
Had a house, burnt to the ground,
sparks flew high, ashes all around
I was at work when I heard the news,
What would I have kept if I had to choose?
Well, we've got the dogs and our love's still alive,
We're gonna gather a crowd and get organized
Going on down to the big hotel,
set up an auction and drink like hell
It's a good damn thing we live in this town
'Cause when the shit hits the fan you see the love go around.

If you were red, I'd like that colour best.
If you were green, I'd like that colour best.
If you were orange, or pink, I'd like that colour best.
If you were blue, I'd hold on to you.
If you were quick, I'd like that speed the best.
If you were slow, I'd like that pace the best.
If you were right on time, I'd like that time the best.
If you were blue, I'd hold on to you.
If you're worried, well then I am worried, too.
If you're sleepy, I'll lay wide awake beside you.
Just wait 'til morning when you splash your eyes my way,
I can't wait to see what colour you are today.
'Cause if you're red, I like that colour best.
And if you're green, I like that colour best.
And if you're orange, or pink, I like that colour best
If you're blue, I'll hold on to you.

Real Damn Happy
01:54
|
|||
|
I was real damn happy to meet you went I did,
So damn happy, I couldn't keep it hid.
I wrote you a letter and into your mailbox it slid.
You give me a word, I hear a song,
You give an inch, and a mile it grows long,
Loaves and fishes is an old story of a magic man,
Making something out of nothing is doing more than I can.
There is time in the future, there's time in the past
There's time on that watch, and there's time in my glass,
They say the world is a bottle, that may be so,
I'm thirsty, so if you've got some, be sure to let me know.

Sliver Moon
02:04
|
|||
|
I was just about to go back
to my dirty old ways
When I looked up
and saw the moon.
It was one of those moons,
just a sliver in the sky
Like a cup or bowl
or something waiting to be filled
with who knows what
Or maybe it had just been emptied,
it's really hard to say
But visions like these
you just don't get 'em every day
So I said to my puppy dog
"Hey, Zoey baby, let's take this next snowdrift together,
it's just you and me tonight
and our timing couldn't be better"
And when I say "snow", oh
I mean the real thing
When I say "snow",
I mean the real thing.
I was just about to go back
to my dirty old ways
When I looked up
and saw the moon.

Late Bloomer
01:39
|
|||
|
Last ear of corn,
grown green, growing tall
Surrounded by brown stalks,shorter,
not so good to eat,
but oh, so excellent at supporting
the glory
of that last great
green cob of corn
Growing up
standing tall
absorbing the sun rays that fall
Framing the blue sky
not too far from the road
so all those passing by
can feast an eye
and learn the story of the late bloomer
Yes this is the story of the late bloomer
We learn the story of the late bloomer

Tinder Song
03:37
|

|
It's only tinder burning, I've gotta find bigger wood,
But until then (x2)
I'm going to let this small fire blaze and bright the night the way,
That only tinder could (x2)

Done Me Right

|
You make my day,
You make my night,
You make my tomorrow bright,
You are my man,
and you've done me right.

Tall Tale
00:56
|
|||
|
Chipmunk's tail, sticking straight up there,
Squirrel got a bushy tail, flicking 'round everywhere,
Hunting dog pointing fast when she gets that scent on the air,
I've got a tall tale to tell,
Starts in heaven, goes down to the depths of hell,
Saved by a fishing boat made out of a sea shell,
Now I'm hear to sing for you a spell.
