Coyote

Late in the morning, I got a call, Got a warning

And it’s all I can do to keep my heart from falling through

Lend me your nerve, dear I have lost mine again

And it’s all I can do to keep from running home to you

Coyote running through the fields

Followed by the moon

Wild thing you don’t bend or yield

It’s me who gives in too soon

Trouble has been hiding so long I forgot

That we all pay the cost for keeping things we should have lost

And Hearts do the talking while our minds do the walking

And we all pay the cost when days are short and hard with frost

Coyote running through the fields

Followed by the moon

Wild thing you don’t bend or yield

It’s me who gives in too soon

So lend me your nerve, dear, I have lost mine again

And it’s all I can do to keep from running home to you

Roll With The Wind

It’s time that you were rolling on out of here

I never had the heart to say goodbye

You’ve been burning fires, burning pages, burning time

It’s time that you were rolling out of here

Winding ribbons in the merry month of May

All the girls with flowers in their hair

You’ve been hearing sirens in the sultry spring air

It’s time that you were rolling out of here

It’s time that you were rolling out of here

Take your time like you do

Take your time getting through

I can’t just roll with the wind like you do

So go on and roll with the wind like you do

Quiet rooms, quiet afternoons

Filled up with the ghost of our time

I’ve been haunting memories, holding wishes, healing crimes

Every time you roll on out of here

Yes, every time you roll on out of here

Take your time like you do

Take your time getting through

I can’t just roll with the wind like you do

So go on and roll with the wind like you do

I can’t just roll with the wind like you do

So go on and roll with the wind like you do

The Road is Divided

I’ve been waking up

So early is it morning?

When the moon is shining towards me

Like a spotlight on a dark stage

And there are shadows

Then there’s this dark where light is swallowed

And I’m wading knee deep through it

Where the stillness mutes the sound

And you never come around

Watch the snow melt

Watch the sky light up like fire

If you don’t buy you’re not a buyer

If you don’t fight you’re not a fighter

There was no hurricane

No earthquake and no thunder

Just a mild rain on a Monday

Did/ it call for something more

For the winds to wage a war

But I love you like a mother loves a child

We carried one another many miles

Now the road it is divided

Hmmmm….

Don’t get me started

I’m doing my best to be hard hearted

I’ve got my armour now, I’m guarded

To the love that made me blind

Now you’re right here being kind

But I love you like a mother loves a child

We carried one another many miles

Now the road it is divided

Hmmmm….

Out Of Time

All the time in the world is over

All the time in the world is done

I’ve been waiting and hoping and praying

But it’s out of time I’ve run

And the winds of change are blowing

And it’s spring but it’s still snowing

And although it is hard to say

It’s harder for me now to stay

‘Cause all the time in the world is over

All the time in the world is done

I’ve been waiting and hoping and praying

But it’s out of time I’ve run

I can always ask for forgiveness

I can always ask for more

But I can’t make up for lost time

And the time for us now is o’er

‘Cause all the time in the world is over

All the time in the world is done

I’ve been waiting and hoping and praying

But it’s out of time I’ve run

All the time in the world is over

All the time in the world is done

I’ve been waiting and hoping and praying

But it’s out of time I’ve run

Breath of a Wind

I can’t find the words but I’m trying to tell you

That I need to be heard but I don’t have the strength to

And I feel like I might fall apart with the breath of a wind

Yes I feel like I might fall apart

Well it comes and goes, I’ve learned it won’t stay

But it’s hard to remember on days like today

When I feel like I might fall apart with the breath of a wind

Yeah, I feel like might fall apart with the breath of a wind

For so long it’s been grand and I thought I could make it

But now here I stand feeling broken and naked

And it seems like I might fall apart with the breath of a wind

Yeah it feels like I might fall apart

So if you don’t mind could you hold me so tender

And tell me it’s fine and help me remember

That it’s kinder to fall apart than to keep it all in

Yes it’s alright to fall apart on the breath of a wind

The Tempest

How far from shore my love,

How far from shore has the wind carried me

How far from shore my love

How far from shore has the wind carried me

Oh watch the wildest waves

Oh watch the wildest waves carry me away from you

Oh watch the wildest waves

Oh watch the wildest waves carry me away from you

Oh watch the wildest waves fall on us by light of moon

Oh pray the sun to rise and winds to die down soon

If I ever make back to shore I know just what I’ll do

I will never let the wind or waves take me away from you

How shall I e’er return

How shall I e’er return to you my dearest love

How shall I e’er return

How shall I e’er return to you my dearest love

Oh watch the wildest waves fall on us by light of moon

Oh pray the sun to rise and winds to die down soon

If I ever make back to shore I know just what I’ll do

I will never let the wind or waves take me away from you

Oh watch the wildest waves fall on us by light of moon

Oh pray the sun to rise and winds to die down soon

If I ever make back to shore I know just what I’ll do

I will never let the wind or waves take me away from you

Emmet’s Song

Too many times you’ve been stopped in your tracks

Now there’s no going back, I’m taking you with me

Too many times they have torn you apart

Now we’re back at the start, I’m happy to carry you

You’re not taking the easy way out

You’ve climbed up and down and around the highest of mountains

You’ve been imprisoned by fear masquerading my dear as love

But love it can’t hurt you

Watching you walk through the darkest of days

Your back always straight and your heart always brave

I lent you my hand but it’s me you have saved

Not everyone sees who you are

They’re blind to the moon and the stars, blind to your beauty

All they can see is one son, not knowing you’re one

But I see your lights never fading

Watching you walk through the darkest of days

Your back always straight and your heart always brave

I lent you my hand but it’s me you have saved

Night Crossing

Taking the ferry cross the North Sea

Bones of forgotten souls beneath

The only light tonight is the moon up in the sky

Night crossing

Faces of strangers all around me

I’ll have one more drink and then retire

Who knows when I might find another soul to ease my mind

On this journey

Oh my love, Oh my love

I’m coming back to you someday soon

Ghosts keep me company as we sail on

Waves rock me gently in my bed

I can’t seem to sleep as we cross this northern sea

Night crossing

Darkness so deep out on the water

Sun has to fight it’s way through

You know I struggle too, watch the skies turn deepest blue

The slowest sunrise

Oh my love, Oh my love

I’m coming back to you someday soon

Oh my love, Oh my love

I’m coming back to you someday soon

Sweet By & By

The wind is coming in now from the ocean

I’ve been sitting on this shoreline for days

Once I had the blues and once I lost them

I never did get the hang of all this change

But if you count the days like they are blossoms

And know it takes the cold to bring the heat

You can enter into any situation

And know it’s been the same since the very first heart beat

When I saw you on that day down at the local

I asked if you would come to see me sing

And you showed up like a prince among the pilgrims

You said you’d like to come and see me later in the spring

But the blossoms on the trees they are all fading

Summer it is fast approaching me

And I’ve got a list as long as that old highway

Of all the things that I must do and people I must see

But maybe in the summertime

When all the children are playing free and wild

You and I can sit outside

Just watch the days roll by and by, by and by, sweet by and by

When I met you in the back room of the local

You were sitting with your sister and her son

It was Mother’s Day how kind of you to mention

You must miss your mother still who died when you were young

And I know you feel it too the winds are changing

And I’m sad that it is time for me to go

But you’re welcome anytime if you are lonesome

Just hop onto the next train that’s headed eastward bound

But maybe in the summertime

When all the children are playing free and wild

You and I can sit outside

Just watch the days roll by and by, by and by, sweet by and by...

Out Of Nowhere

Sometimes I just watch the rain

Sometimes I just can’t complain

Feeling you get nearer dear

Now I’m watching faces in the mirror

Ask me why and I won’t know

How did this sweet love grow

Out of nowhere into sight

Now I’m waiting for you tonight

I don’t know what will happen next

Close your eyes and get some rest

We don’t need to know right now

Just wait for the sun to bow

Fool me once, shame on you

Fool me twice, now what to do

I have loved and I have lost

And it’s always been worth the cost

Ask me why, no I don’t know

How did this sweet love grow

Out of nowhere into sight

Now I’m waiting for you tonight

Come Back In

Don’t worry darling it’s just time rolling on

It happens every single day

I’ve been watching the tide roll out of the bay

All I remember is a cold summer’s day

Wrapped in a sweater on the north shore

You were asking if I would stay and I did, Yes I did

Now the boats are all tucked away for winter

Skeletons of trees move with the wind

You’ve been moving farther away from me

Come back in, come back in

Oh how love makes the heart ache

How the water shapes the shore

I can’t ask you to protect me here anymore

But what is home if it’s not with you

Feel the sun that’s lost its heat

I can’t ask you to change a thing, not for me, Not for me

Now the boats are all tucked away for winter

Skeletons of trees move with the wind

You’ve been moving farther away from me

Now the boats are all tucked away for winter

Skeletons of trees move with the wind

You’ve been moving farther away from me

Come back in, come back in

Don’t worry darling it’s just time rolling on

It happens every single day

I’ve been watching the tide roll out of the bay

All The Way In

All the clouds parting in the sky

All the stars coming out tonight

I can see your face by the firelight

I can feel your heart burning bright

And I am all the way in, I’m falling all the way in

You must leave me now it’s time to go

We both have our work to do I know

But when you finally get to the end of the road

I know you’ll turn around and come back home

And I am all the way in, I’m falling all the way in

Yes I am all the way in, I’m falling all the way in

Our lives have taken so many twists and turns

But it seems we’ve been headed here from the first

I’m all the way in, I’m all the way in

Sip your coffee now or drink your wine

Pour some whiskey at the end of the night

Say your prayers for the thousandth time

Everything’s going to work out just fine

Cause I am all the way in, I’m falling all the way in

Yes I am all the way in, I’m falling all the way in

Waiting On My Love

One foot in front of the other, that’s how we must go

One step ahead the next and we’ll get there nice and slow

See I’ve been waiting all of my life just to be with you right now

Let’s not waste a minute of this it could all let go somehow

I’ve been waiting on my love, yes I have

I’ve been waiting on my love

2 little birds go flying high up in the sky

2 little tears come rolling, falling from your eyes

I never promised you, there would be no pain

But I can promise you that it’s worth it just the same

I’ve been waiting on my love, yes I have

I’ve been waiting on my love

I’ve been waiting on my love, yes I have, I’ve been waiting on my love

Some things in life we win, some things we lose

Some things in life are given to us, other things we choose

I found a gift you you that can not be replaced

I hope that you know you are welcome here to stay

I’ve been waiting on my love, yes I have

I’ve been waiting on my love

I’ve been waiting on my love, yes I have

I’ve been waiting on my love

Too Many Hearts

Too many hearts are broken over fear

Too many hearts are broken here my dear

So let’s not break these hearts of ours

Send them up to the moon and stars

Remember when I asked to speak with you that day

You know you never even asked me here to stay

But staying here’s no good for me

I’ll keep the best of us in my memory

This morning when I woke it hurt so much you know

I wasn’t even sure if I should go

But go I must and you know why

So now it seems it’s dust to dust and tears to cry

‘Cause too many hearts are broken over fear

Too many hearts are broken here my dear

So let’s not break these hearts of ours

Send them up to the moon and stars

So let’s not break these hearts of ours

Send them up to the moon and stars
