1.Little River
Well, there is something 'bout the quiet, uplifting laughter
You've just spent so many years chased by a cloud, oh
It's taken you so far, far past the cliff's edge
And now your feet just poke around to feel the ground, oh
You say, 'Is this a joke？' I float 'come on now'
You see there's something down below
Just let me fall to be of use, make me the rainstorm
Just a piece of hail, you know
You said, 'All the time it needs to take
And all the time there is a shiver from some fallen tear
But is it on this lack of fallen luck
To dream of things like a little river to the golden ground？'
And there is something 'bout the quiet surprise in darkness
You just sing about your own death in your closet
You stumble out into the pitch-black hallway
You think you've lost so many times though it's not war yet
You say, 'Are these my eyes？'
You said, 'Come on, now, already lost my sense to feel'
But there is always someone out there who will listen
And then there's nothing but a dream
You said, 'All the time it needs to take
And all the time there is a shiver from some fallen tear
But is it on this lack of fallen luck
To dream of things like a little river to the golden ground？'
And there is something 'bout the leaving of a lover
You think you knew through all the years you've been a woman
And he's stepping out and walks out of the garden
Where all the lilies and all the weeds came from his cold hand
You say, 'Is this my life,' you said, 'Come on, now'
You see the diamonds when you yell,
That let you stay in all the corners I have been here
But now you travel, go to hell
You said, 'All the time it needs to take
And all the time there is a shiver from some fallen tear
But is it on this lack of fallen luck
To dream of things like a little river to the golden ground？'
2.Thrown Right At Me
Jump 'long the creek side, the rock's crooked line
Fun curls your hair and the days open wide
And horses trot faster 'til sparrows fall down
But you just fall laughing to the snow on the ground
You grew up by playing the valley so wild
That's why you're so beautiful now
And dancing your bike to the lonesome, young mare
You call up her owner, say your heart will be there
You'll build a collection of scars on your knees
To learn how to count the impossible trees
You grew up by climbing the birches so high
And that's why you're so beautiful now
And we live so close that we probably seen
The same bird, the same time, they solemnly scream
One day I'll find just that friend who can see
All this weird beauty thrown right at me
Growing by playing the valley so wild
That's why you're so beautiful now
3.Like The Wheel
Oh, I wish I was the sparrow in your kid's eye
That'll fly above this summer all day long
On an island in the heart he has to carry
Past the many you have let into your song
And I said, 'Oh, my Lord, why am I not strong
Like the wheel that keeps travelers traveling on
Like the wheel that will take You home？'
In the forest someone is whispering to a tree now
This is all I am, so please don't follow me
It's your brother in the shaft that I'm-a swinging
Please let the kindness of forgetting set me free
He said, 'Oh, my Lord, why am I not strong
Like the wheel that keeps travelers traveling on
Like the wheel that will take You home？'
On this Sunday someone's sitting down to wonder
Where the hell among these mountains will I be？
There's a cloud behind the cloud to which I'm yelling
Oh, I could hear you sneak around so easily
And I said, 'Oh, my Lord, why am I not strong
Like the branch that keeps hangmen hanging on
Like the branch that will take me home？'
4.Tangle In This Trampled Wheat
Been so many days of longing now
Why should it ever be this far
Where I get frightened
I could never gather birds enough
To carry 'round your part
But I see traces of your thoughts out here
I see a sight, I hear a sound
I only comfort in the brittleness of days
When I can hold what I just found
In the untired eyes of the laughing child
And the dirtiest sweater he owns
Early, sun-warmed pine and all those life-like sins
That will pull out the memories to show
I'm not leaving alone, I'm not leaving alone
If just that weather beating plane was here
Haven't seen it since I came
Can only wonder if it's near or in the skies
When this damn city sounds the same
And sometimes I'm just a tangle in this trampled wheat
Shirk a-like a losing dog
If just tonight that I could be where you are near
And just forget where I am lost
In the untired eyes of the laughing child
And the dirtiest sweater he owns
Early, sun-warmed pine and all those life-like sins
That will pull out the memories to show
I'm not leaving alone, I'm not leaving alone
I'm not leaving alone
5.The Dreamer
I'm just a dreamer but I'm hanging on
Though I am nothing big to offer
I watch the birds, how they dive in then gone
It's like nothing in this world's ever still
And I'm just a shadow of your thoughts in me
But sun is setting, shadows growing
A long cast figure will turn into night
It's like nothing in this world ever sleeps
Oh, sometimes the blues is just a passing bird
And why can't that always be？
Tossing aside from your birches crown
Just enough dark to see
How you're the light over me
And by your side, girl, where the acres grow
Into the strong and stunning meadow
A cowboy stumbling in the finest field
And nothing good out there won't be old
Oh, sometimes the blues is just a passing bird
Why can't that always be？
Tossing aside from your birches crown
Just enough dark to see
How you're the light over me
Sometimes the blues is just a passing bird
And why can't that always be？
Tossing aside from your birches crown
Just enough dark to see
How you're the light over me, yeah
