Sailor

if i was a sailor
i'd sail on forever
for the sake of my daughters
i'd weather any weather
i'd sleep on that horizon
i'd bargain with the winds blow
please more than a whisper
i'd argue with the waters
they're bitter 'cause we bicker
i'd feast on that horizon
if i was a tree stump
i'd hope to be a whole one
from the seed to the highest leaf
so i could see over that horizon

Song from the Stone

i snuck from your window
and sooner was racing
i ran to the willow
i followed the song from the stone
i followed the song from the stone
i sooner was dancin'
when I saw your reflection
in the wind chimes calling
for the song from the stone
for the song from the stone
If i were to follow you
would i be a follower?
if i didn't meet you
would i be a traitor?
i do wish a million
that you were here with me

The Way I'm Running

well them fat cats down in the city
they picked my pockets, clean and pretty
and them country girls, they leave me alone
so i cut my hair and shined my shoes
threw my sunday best on
i hitched a ride on down that dusty road going:
oooo oooo
it's a wide eyed girl in the drivers seat
keeps her hair pinned up and her dress real neat
terrified of driving, she aint afraid to roam
it's isabel who is a bell that rings like a midday sun
smiles when she says her name
makes fun of the way i'm running going:
oooo oooo
darling loose them worn down licks
break your habits and kick your fixes
roll 'em over, and let 'em go
aint like you to stop the show
sweet isabel turns with a twinkle in her smile
and with a wink makes this trip worth my while
"you got your running legs and i know how you feel"
and with that, sweet isabel jerks the wheel
mom and pop they aint aware 'til they receive a call
their little wide eyed girl and a running man hit the wall
the story goes the butcher boys couldn't find no one to blame
cause they saw isabel laughing when we went up in flames going:
oooo oooo
darling lost her worn down licks
she broke my habits and kicked my fixes
rolled me over, and let me go
just like her to stop the show
oooo oooo

Giant

i wandered away from myself one day
tickled to find what i'd see
so scared of how fast i'd find the thing
for which i was looking
so i closed my eyes
and erase my mind
and i called it a lie
i called it a lie
but who knows
who knows
what its like to be ten feet tall
yes who knows
who knows
what its like to be ten feet tall
*NASTY GUITAR SOLOS*
so i close my eyes
and erase my mind
and i called it a lie
i called it a lie
cause who know
who knows
what its like to be ten feet tall
so now i guess i'm just a stone in the grass
separated, fallen away from those things in my past
my legs the kings of my journey
my eyes the mapmakers

I Crash

side step the creaks in the cracks of my broken smile
light me a gait for my path if you'll stay a while
break the tight line with a down turned face from the spray
if she is the swell by my side then i am the wave
i crash on the board
i crash on the board
there is a pull on a pool in a well over time
if she my cup on a rope then i'll be just fine
i'll pay down my debts and upturn my charge to the sky
no mans a saint without learning first to ask why
i crash on the board
i crash on the board
a cross stitch, a lace wick, a bottle filled to the brim
if she is the wax sealing up then i just give in
so spring load the planks and pluck my purse to pass
she'll shop shine the dimes for my eyes and i won't come back
i crash on the board
i crash on the board
