Down with the king, they cried, who are you fooling Everyone loses when playing your game Howling beside all the coyotes at midnight Somehow the moonlight remembered my name Maybe we don't even need to worry Maybe we were never in it alone I took off my jacket and gave it to Jesus Said that he needs it and shuffled away Well, you laugh and you cry, you get high with your shadow But deep in the marrow, we are the same Maybe we don't even need to worry Maybe we were never in it alone And everybody is walking forward Though we got a long way to go Maybe we don't even need to worry Maybe we were never in it alone And everybody is walking forward Down with the king, they cried, who are you fooling? Everyone loses when playing your game Howling beside all the coyotes at midnight Somehow the moonlight remembered my name For no reason I could explain to you For no reason I could explain to you For no reason I could explain to you For no reason I could explain to you

For the Girl 04:01
Have you seen her on the corner of the dark side of the city Like a whisper by the river, she's another unheard story Treated like an afterthought in a parking lot all alone Born a boy, but she's a woman, puts on a good show down at the theater But after hours, after flowers, from the crowd that came to see her She finds out on her way back home that it ain't safe to walk on your own We don't have to long, this cannot go on There's been no movement, there's been no changes There's been no silence for the girl Way over yonder, there was a mother Down in the valley in the dead of night She was everybody's sister, gone away before her time She left on the radio, didn't wanna be on her own We don't have to long, this cannot go on There's been no movement, there's been no changes There's been no silence for the girl Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do Have you seen her on the corner of the dark side of the city

Haven 05:01
I have been patiently waiting, in an impatient age Yes, I am a woman But I'm not so brave For the fog it is heavy on my mind Help me from falling down It's not yet my time It's not yet my time You are not my child But I'll take care of you Breathe in easy now, You got a haven to run to You got a haven Now that the morning has settled, Now that the night knows me well By the valley below me I am always held Somewhere deep in my sorrow Joy can be found Endless rivers of honey flowing Way underground Way underground You are not my child But I'll take care of you Breathe in easy now, You got a haven to run to You got a haven I have been patiently awaiting I have been bathing in light You were thinking of leaving , have you taken flight? I know the fog it is heavy on your mind Let me help you from falling down It's not yet your time It's not yet your time You are not my child, But I'll take care of you Breathe in easy now You got a haven to run to You got a haven

My Body 04:29
When will my boat quit rocking, Im unsteady as it is, and the butterflies are heavy, fluterrin inside my head And I may be getting older, but I’m better in a storm I’ve got sunlight in my belly, And it always keeps me warm She was born, in the middle of summer, In the peace of the evening, out of the blue, And your words, they fall right off her back, Her dad is a mountain, her mother’s the moon Im gonna dance, but not for you I got my hands, on my body, Im gonna dance, but not for you, I got my hands, on my body And I just met a woman, who told me of a place, She said that theres a river, thats as infinite as space, And that rivers overflowing, can’t ya hear it underground Everything you’re needing, can so easily be found She was born, in the middle of summer, In the peace of the evening, out of the blue, And your words, they fall right off her back, Her dad is a mountain, her mother’s the moon Im gonna dance, but not for you I got my hands, on my body, Im gonna dance, but not for you, I got my hands, on my body And if you find that swallow singing sweetly, In the quiet peaceful evening, Let her drink the river from your palms

Brother 04:44
Your life had not always been painted In the colours you wanted it to be. If when alone you can’t sit with your thoughts you’re not broken Where are you hurting Let me see Oh how could it be this way Oh how could it be this way Oh how could it be you’re all alone now, every night Oh how could it be this way oh how could it be this way Oh how could it be we’re all alone with all we fear Come on brother can we hear What is your story, can we hear Come on brother I held on for dear life to the side of the boat Couldn’t remember how to be alone But now in my own way I’ve decided to carry All of that worry, to the edge and let it go Oh how could it be this way Oh how could it be this way You don’t have to be all alone now, every night Oh how could it be this way oh how could it be this way Oh how could could it be we’re all alone with all we fear Come on brother can we hear What is your story, can we hear Come on brother Come on brother can we hear What is your story, can we hear Come on brother

I awoke, and I spoke to you, I rambled on and on for an hour or two We Talked of love, we talked of pain, And how we both saw the sad birds a comin, Before the sun, before the rain, Oh we could hear their little wings a just a hummin All my time, wasted on what I find, In every illogical piece of my mind on your floor I always do this to my, do this to myself, I always do this to my, do this to myself Painted in red, painted in blue, But I always do this to my, do this to myself I said no, well id rather go, to the city And man you shoulda seen, what that dirty old town did to me, Well I played in bars, and i played through cars, Until I couldn’t even hear the sound of my own heart beatin and She said I, romanticize, life and thats why I’m always Feeling so defeated All my time, wasted on what I find, In every illogical piece of my mind on your floor I always do this to my, do this to myself, I always do this to my, do this to myself Painted in red, painted in blue, But I always do this to my, do this to myself

I didn’t dance all summer, couldn’t even move, In a bed by the window, I let it all come through and my eyes began to open, and the sky was every colour that I know of And all the stars up in the cosmos, They were reaching out to me in my direction And with More space between us now, growing farther every day I take a look outside, and I start to sway And I dance the night, oh I dance the night Until the morning Until the morning Until the morning Then all the light inside of me, That I thought had died, Came alive all softly, Just in time and my eyes began to open, and the sky was every colour that I know of And all the stars up in the cosmos, They were reaching out to me in adoration And with More space between us now, growing farther every day I take a look outside, and I start to sway And I dance the night, oh I dance the night Until the morning Until the morning Until the morning Move a little with the earth now feel it honey, move a little with the earth now move and my eyes began to open, and the sky was every colour that I know of And all the stars up in the cosmos, They were reaching out to me in admiration And with More space between us now, growing farther every day I take a look outside, and I start to sway And I dance the night, oh I dance the night Until the morning Until the morning Until the morning

What is it that you’re tryna do here? What on earth is it that you think you lack? Honey I wanna see you with no ones eyes on ya I wanna see you laughing, wanna get you talking, I wanna hear ya You tried to build a garden, Bees, and sweetgrass and garlic, Then the rain came and flooded all the land Inevitably killing what ya started Don’t play the victim babe, he said as I lay on the carpet, I said I was sorry now stop your crying Then one day I caught my reflection and she kinda looked like she was dying, And I said What is it that you’re tryna do here? What on earth is it that you think you lack? Honey I wanna see you with no ones eyes on ya I wanna see you laughing, wanna get you talking, I wanna hear ya

Ostara 02:33
There’s a stillness in your eyes, You’re beginning to smile, You’re beginning to right, every wrong So open up again, and let it all come crashing in you’ve got All you need right there You’ve got all you need, right there You started waving your arms like a bird Tellin everybody how you think its all so absurd, You smile at the moon, You smile at the sun, You laugh with the night, You dance till dawn Mmm mmhmmm mmhmm mhmmm…. Mmm mmhmmm mmhmm mhmmm….
