To Be Found 03:52
lyrics
buy track
To Be Found I'll wait for you right here It's where I saw you last And curse the wretched moon Beat my fist to my chest And I won't ever sleep My angels hold me up Whisper in my ear And tell me of my home And keep my soul tonight I'm out here on my own And if she sees the stars She can not be alone And God behind the clouds To guide your every step And darkness fills the room That I may see the light Bend and broken heart The world is not my friend Sing these broken songs For sorrow and despair And hold inside my hand A lock of golden hair And come these thunder storms The rising of the tide Behold the winds of change To stand alone and fight I'll make a stand right here And hold the hallowed ground And you who once were lost Can here tonight be found

Reinvention 05:42
lyrics

I fled the country in early may I left my heart with Adelay I traveled the sea through storm and plague Loneliness and prescription meds The nights are long, its chills my bones Tonight I am completely alone Except the stars, except for the moon With my entire world inside this room This present company, Solomon the wise For whom the bell tolls and slaughter house 5 Stacks and stacks of books, close to the chest Chesterton was right, as he said it best He said four is twice two, but two is a thousand time one You won’t understand it, until you lose the one love I think about the way, things could have gone down But I will live in the present, here in this town I will curse the storm and make my own luck You can Tell Bernstein and Matthews that I stole Julia’s truck Just to see the deserts stars in night sky, The rumble of the beat up engine pushing 65 I don’t plan for the worst, I haven’t the time We have pressing matters that involve family mart wine I keep the company of novelist, painters and drunks Armature philosophers and the Asian punks Horn players, organist, the Persians and the Jew Protestants, Catholics, the Rad city crew It makes sense sometimes, just after dusk Just after the rain, just for people like us Sell all that you have, everything that you own You can’t take it with you to heaven, or out here on the road Gypsies, tall ships, this is the carnival life Rooftops, Neon colors and wild nights The wildest people you’ve ever seen The brightest colors, the clearest and most vivid dreams It’s a renaissance a revolution, from everything you know The most dangerous places, that’s where we’ll go, Out here it’s a mystery, and it’s the monsoon rain The only way to travel, is the slow train Come brother come sister, come friend and foe Come to the water, weary and broken down souls All traitors here, Hippocrates and thieves Killers and Wanderers, swaying from the trees The land of the golden sun, this breaking of dawn The freedom from everything you’ve come from The reinvention, of heart mind and soul Any day now, I’ll be called home

Storm's Coming 03:11
lyrics
buy track
The storm is coming here tonight Dividing brother from brother , husband from wife Thunder rings and rattles your walls The empire has already begun to fall Crumble dust smoke and ash Your downfall my friend , is that you live in the past I wrote you off the moment I saw you A lover of ghost , destined for sorrow If its despair you seek, so shall you find This body will fail you and so will your mind Wait for your lover at the waterfront Write to the governor and tellm what you want Another mans woman, you seen too much The forbidden lover cast her spell in the church Its ends badly for you brother, trust me I know Leave while you can, storm is coming for your soul. Wretched depraved desolate and lost The first sign is the smokers cough She’ll eat you alive, tear your flesh from the bone The shadows and hotel rooms are not your home I wait and wonder , star up at the stars My brother in arms has gone to far Once you reach the city there’s no turning back Destined for ruin at the horse track

Black Magic Movin' On 06:12
lyrics
buy track
I don’t sleep well at night, I toss and I turn My hands tremble from the black magic I have learned I left her for dead on the road to India The crowd were violent it was mass hysteria If you overthrew a king, if sold your soul Come with me, through the night past the mountain of gold The streets are paved, the sky is cracked, and the moon is alive If we make through night, cross the range, there’s redemption on the other side She’s a bird, she witch; she’s a howling wandering soul She’s perfect, from head to toe If she made it out, impossible, then she’s coming for me I’ll hide here in forest beneath the cover of the trees The trees know the truth; they’ve been here for thousands of years If she sang out to you in the night, the wiser man would cut off his ears She moves with mist, her breath is sweet as the vine For one brief moment she was completely mine And I was he’s and we were a storm The thunder shook the ground and the sky was torn A man from the west who came from the city in the north With his pen and his book and the promise of his word Wrote down the story, with elegant poetry and pros Each line better than the line before He left the country empty, broken and alone He died in the dry desert searching for his home And the painter from Rome with a renaissance brush With His religion, his virgin his red velvet church He painted for months and months and months and pulled out his hair He put all of himself in the painting, and he’s still there The painting hangs on the wall of a tavern not a hundred miles from here Staring down on lonesome drunks who drown their sorrow in whiskey and beer Tell us the story paint us the picture and listen closely to the songs If you’re not at home, then I think its best that you’re moving on
