WALKING TALKING YOU
We duck in the woods
Kissing and fooling around
Never felt so good
I’d play it over
And over in my head
Must have been a hundred times
Right or wrong I followed along
Walking talking you
So young
I didn’t know
I’d learn as I go
We talked about it
It was too much
Then you forgot
Chorus
You’d walk me home

LEAVE THE LIGHT ON
Leave the light on
I’ll need it tonight
So I’ll know
Everything is gonna be alright
Just for tonight
Just for tonight
It’s easy to see
What I’m looking at
But with the light left on
All those things are gonna disappear
Just for tonight
Just for tonight
And by tomorrow if those things are still in sight
And if sorrow tries to win with all it’s might
We can fight it with a little bit of light
Tomorrow night
Leave the light on
I’ll need it tonight
So I’ll know
Everything is gonna be alright
Just for tonight
Just for tonight

TUCKED IN TUCKERED OUT
I don’t think I ever really knew
Though you might have told me
Didn’t know if it was true
Walk away is what I want to do
Instead I find I’m walking
Hoping I’ll run into you
Tucked in tuckered out
Eyes wide open
Got it all figured out
Now I’m hoping
That you’ll want to take the time
Tell me what’s been on your mind
I forgot how hard it is to choose
Between a moment’s pleasure
And a wiser thing to do
When the sinking’s over
Will I see
Everything moving
Into where I want to be
Chorus

SOMETHING ELSE
I was 23 when I realized it was just me
For all accountability
A full force gale took my feet from beneath
I took the lead unwillingly
It was something else
It was something else
It was something I’ve never seen before
Something else
Something else
Something I’ve never seen
Did I pour enough to feel it cut
My mind keeps running and it won’t shut up
I trade it for a melody
The nighttime quickly fades
The daytime stays and stays
Time’s not telling anything
Is there something else
Is there something else
Is there something I’ve never seen before
Something else
Something else
Something I’ve never seen
The years passed by at my request
I took some good things to the test
Stood and watched them leaving
It took sometime to realize
That all the good things stayed close by
It was really hard to see them
Chorus

BY MY SIDE
One moon light night I jumped a train
Whistled for my dog he never came
It might have been the longest train ride ever
I don’t mind if you want to sit here
By my side
It wasn’t that he didn’t hear
My whistle with his dog gone ears
I really think he had to go
He was the wandering kind you know
Chorus
I don’t
I don’t mind
If you want to sit here
By my side

HEAP OF HUMAN KINDNESS
I was standing in a heap of human kindness
Wondering how on earth I’d ever pay it back
Was I so inclined to give away what’s mine
Was there really someone keeping track
It all started with the yogis down on Coburg
Who changed my life forever more
Their giving doesn’t stop they’re up there at the top
Now we’re all in luck cause there’s two more
Chorus
It was coming on the Christmas of 2000
I didn’t think I’d make it home at all
When Shirley did her part from the bottom of her heart
Brought me home on a 50/50 draw
Chorus
There’s Bob and Luke and Carolyn and Cathy
And others ah shit there’s a lot
With family and friends the giving never ends
My father’s bailed me out more times than not
Chorus

TAKE IT ANYWAY
It didn’t hurt too long this time
Just a couple of days and I was fine
Yeah I should know by now
I just forget somehow
If you took my hand and said
Let’s go down by the riverbed
Wouldn’t give it a second thought
I’d take your hand you’d take my heart
Take it anyway
I’m yours to play any day
Anyway you want to
You got a big bright shiny smile
And though you only use it once in a while
It always melts my heart
And then you tear off another part
I know that I was wrong
To let it go but now it’s gone
I’ll get it back someday
For now it’s yours to play
Chorus

STUCK IN REWIND
I live in the country I work in the city
If I keep doing the right thing
One of these days I’ll be coming home early
Never to return again
If not for the music that comes from my dashboard
If not for the sun that does shine
I think I’d go crazy, these days of fast forward
Make me feel like I’m stuck in rewind
My kids are off working in some foreign country
My husband is always real tired
We work like two devils to make ourselves comfy
And still never satisfied
Chorus
I read more I breathe more than I ever used to
I’ve given up sugar and wheat
I’d think about giving up church on a Sunday
If I thought I could handle the heat
Chorus

GOODNIGHT FOREVER
I don’t have it in me
Frozen to this windy night
I flew home to say goodnight
You lie there we hover
For the function of another
I flew home to say goodnight
Goodnight forever
I never thought it would be now
I never thought this could be how
I never thought
I never
When will everything I do
Not remind me of all the things
All the things we used to do
You can give me sun or rain
Everything is still the same
All the things we used to do
Chorus

DROWN THE BLUES
All the curtains are closed
On the sunny side of the road
A staggering man looks down
And brushes his clothes
If the sun don’t shine
On things you’re doing now
Don’t look down
The clouds will blow
There’ll be sunshine all around
To chase and to drown the blues
With a mouthful of pride
Devotee by his side
Who’s to know
What he could try
If you stand you’re ground
With the strength that keeps us proud
You’ll figure out
What’s right, what’s wrong
There’ll be sunshine all around
To chase and to drown
Don’t turn back now
Drown the blues
Round the bend
Down look back
Don’t look back again

NELL
She’s a dreamer
In and out all day
Nothing left to say
Never used to be that way
Never used to be that way
Have you seen her
Walking out the door
A dress she never wore
And then coming back for more
Coming back for more
Burying her dreams in the dirt
The teapot, the kettle and the hurt
Tell Nell
He has another
Tell Nell
Forever and ever and ever
See the lantern
Swaying as she goes
A hundred times I suppose
It’s the only path she knows
The only path she knows
Chorus
Burying her dreams in the dirt
The teapot, the kettle and the hurt
