Down with the King
03:29

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

Do this to Myself
05:19
|

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

Until the Morning
03:53
|
|||
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

Sweetgrass and Garlic
04:00

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

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….
