Frozen Sand

The very first thing that I do
Is that I wait for you
Ain't that a funny thing just to do?
Sit and wait for you
Grass stuck to my feet like glue
The night has all the fun
What's the morning left to do?
Sit on a rock and skip a stone or two,
And I just wait for you
Ever get that feeling you just ain't alive?
Waiting for something just to let it pass you by
So you can tell yourself, "Hell, at least I tried."
Is that how you really want to love your life?
Stones on that sidewalk and that broken glass
Time passing like my feet on frozen sand
Looking to the east and now I'm looking back
Just waiting for that sky to go black

Love me tender, love me sweetly
Complete me, completely and forget it.
Love me so good, love me all night
Love me alright, and be gone.
Love me sweetly, discreetly, need me, leave me, and be gone.
Love me sweetly, discreetly, need me, leave me, and be gone.

Marigold

Hidden in boxes, forgotten in closets
Memories made, but what did they cost us?
Scattered in drawers, taped up in a basement
Secrets, trying to escape us
Maybe I'm not ready,
Or your ghost it won't let me,
But I'm fighting this feeling for you
Baby I'm not ready,
Or your ghost it won't let me,
But I'm fighting this feeling for you
The love that I scatter just falls into pieces
Like marigolds picked in June
When this love that I gather just falls into pieces
Like marigolds picked in June
Baby I'm not ready,
Your ghost it won't let me
I'm fighting this feeling for you
Baby I'm not ready,
Or your ghost it won't let me,
But I'm fighting this feeling for you
The love that I scatter, the love that I gather, marigolds that bloom in June
The love that I scatter, the love that I gather, marigolds that bloom in June
Baby I'm not ready,
Your ghost it won't let me,
But I'm fighting this feeling for you
But when I'm ready,
And your ghost is dead to me,
I won't be fighting this feeling for you

Secret We Both Know

It's hard to think of it all, now
It's hard to think at all, now
To think that it's all now, over, now
Don't want to start, start over at all, now
'Cause baby it's more than tearing some wall down
There's a reason that you want to go
There's a lie that's been told
There's a line I must hold
And a secret that we both know
This is more thank letting go
There's a light that I don't know
There's a life I want to know
What a secret if we both know?

la Verite

Can I sing you a love song?
Is it too late, or am I too gone?
I’d tell you my story if I had one,
So, can I sing you a little love song?
My daddy died when I was too young
They blamed me, but they were all wrong
I left the shore for a new home
Worked everyday to build a new one
Spent the summer of love in a city jail
Got set up by someone I thought that I knew well
Kept me out of the war, being locked in that cell
Guess all’s well that ends well
Met a girl and she just blew me away
She taught me how to dress, taught me how to play
Caught her in bed with my best friend
And it took me everything not to blow them both away,
But I didn’t, put the gun down
Left that house and swore I’d never go back
Spent the next 8 years livin’ out the back of my truck
Somewhere along the way I found a reason
Never thought I’d be the type to come to Jesus
Fixed up that old house for my new wife
Had the best damn years of my whole damn life
A big garden and always something to do
Found a community and watched it bloom
Then the accident and I lost my hand
When you can’t support yourself it’s hard to feel like a man
Those old ghosts from the shore showed up like an old friend
Told so many lies I lost the only home I ever had
You can put the entire blame on me
But you can’t tell me I didn’t live my life fully
And when we meet again at that pearly gate
You’ll know I’m sorry, and I’ll know it’s too late
But I’ll sing you this little love song
Don’t matter if it’s too late, or if I’m too gone
Lived my life’s story and said so long
So let me sing you this little love song
Ohhh
