Sun Rising

The sun is rising
Across the valley
I stand atop a rocky vista
I feel the wind and I hear you calling my name
I climbed so high
To leave you there
Through the dark of night and the rains that fall
Your salty lips and your whisper still lives in my ears
I know that I’ll miss you
I know that’ll wish you
Never turned your back
To the places I’ve gone
But goodbye ain’t half as sad
As the place we were headed
So I’m climbing
Up that mountain
Just to see a new sky dawnin’
I know, I know, I can’t go back to you
I’ll spend the rest
Of my hard earned years
Forgetting where I left you, dear
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I must leave you here
I know that I’ll miss you
I know I’ll wish you
Never turned your back
To the places I’ve gone
But goodbye ain’t half as sad
As the place we were headed
I'll keep on climbing
Out of this valley
Through the dark of night and that rains that will fall
In that icy wind
And your voice is so clear
But can’t you see that sun rising
Can’t you see that sun rising
Can’t you see that sun rising
Can’t you see that sun rising
And I know you’ll always come crawling through that valley of fear
And I know you’ll always come calling through your tears
I know that I’ll miss you
I know that’ll wish you
Never turned your back
To the places I’ve gone
But goodbye ain’t half as sad
As the place we were headed

Dead Man's Fingers

Can I tell you a secret, can I tell you a lie?
Can I tell you what’s really wrong with my life?
Half the part’s knowing, the hard parts growing
Drove down to Florida to put it all to rest
But every Palm tree was like a ghost from my past
Do you know how many Palm trees there are in Florida?
That’s a lot of ghosts
Surprised myself with how much I cared
How angry I was, but also how scared
Sat under a willow and listened to that brook
His leaves like a dead man’s fingers, reflecting back, begging me to look
Well, I’m sorry I came here, and I’m sorry I care
Sorry for everything I carried here
But I can’t be sorry for you, and
You know that too
Crow flowers, nettles, daisies, long purples
So much sadness, so much wrong in this world
But so much beauty, and so much right, too
Watching the wind like watching your last breath
It comes and it goes, and come back again
Can you feel that breeze on the back of your neck?
It’s simple, I know, but I haven’t accepted it yet
It’s simple, I know, but I haven’t accepted it yet

Blue, Green, Blue

Before the stars, the sky painted black
Millions of years to light our path
Now a star for every grain of sand
Death's a hungry ghost haunting me and you
Blue, green, blue, Blue, green, blue
Heavy hearts and heavy minds
Floating through this river of time
Open wide and let me hear your voice
Someone else's sun burning, but I can't see you?
Blue, green, blue, Blue, green, blue
There's a sky up above
And a woman in love with you
How much longer until you
Reach some kind of truth?
I'll ask no more from this ancient art
Just some peace to start this giant heart
We spin in space and stretch this place
The sky is a choir and every star a voice
Blue, green, blue, blue, green, blue
The sky is a choir and every star a voice

The closer that I get to you
The easier it gets
The easier it gets
To forget
The closer that I get to you
The easier it gets
The easier it gets
To forget
There’s one thing I’ll never let
You forget
The closer I get to you
The closer I get to you
There’s one thing I’ll never let
You forget
The closer I get to you
The closer I get to you
Something you’ll never get
The closer I get
The closer I get to you
Something you’ll never get
The closer I get to you
The closer I get to you
The closer I get
