A song for Mary 04:30
lyrics
buy track
From a different time but it’s still the same place with your smile in mine Your face in my face To say your not here it doesn’t sound right the salt in these tears the stars in the night I hope that you knew how deeply you are loved sometimes we’re dreaming of sunshine when we should watch the rains fall Time goes by fast and sometimes it’s gone what lives in the past we can take it along The good with the bad known and unknown the things that we’ve had the things we’ve outgrown I hope that you knew How deeply you are loved sometimes we’re dreaming of sunshine when we should watch the rains fall I hope you that you knew How deeply you are loved sometimes we’re dreaming of sunshine when we should watch the rains fall Mary go round rose garden in the ground I’ll follow your sound and see you around Didsbury didn’t hurry Wasa wasn’t far sweet calligraphy on the back of your cards Willy nilly Jack and Goldie bucket of frogs Susan, Kathy, Jim and Debbie, Hana and Rob Thank you for making the best that you could may it bring you peace knowing we’re all good From a different time but it’s still the same place with your smile in mine your face in my face I know you’re still here at least not too far the salt in a tear the light from a star I hope that you find Shelter from the storm why be dreaming of sunshine let’s let the moon have it’s time Sometimes we’re dreaming of sunshine when we should watch rain fall

A glow that grows 04:06
lyrics
buy track
started with thoughts before the words made a sound (heard it out loud before I wrote it all down) don’t say the words say what they’re trying to say (show me how you feel in a different way) bend the light from your shadow (sunlight under the sea) coax the story out of tired old bone (the story you are trying to be) ~~be willing to grow ~~a patchwork blanket in the snow It’s not about want it’s what is already there (in the morning calm you sang it with care) wanted a sign until the sign was a sign (didn’t you know that you will always be mine) cast the dice face your sorrow (sunlight under the sea) catch your best breath and let it finally go (the story you are trying to be) ~~be willing to grow ~~a patchwork blanket in the snow The beauty of a storm watched from some place safe and warm. A soft glow that grows brighter as your thoughts form. Watched all the stars glow without a step outside (in all the sun’s light you still cannot hide) sometimes it’s not real until you say it three times (sometime sometime sometime) pull the weight from your shoulders (sunlight under the sea) rest your heavy eyes as you place your next step (the story you are trying to be) ~~be willing to grow ~~a patchwork blanket in the snow The beauty of a storm watched from some place safe and warm. A soft glow that grows brighter as your thoughts form.

Best you ever had 04:51
lyrics
buy track
Didn’t we say that it was over I remember feeling that we surely had Still your looking over your sweet shoulder acting more than sad thinking maybe it wasn’t all that bad Maybe it’s the best you ever had All it does now is make you sad Either way our memories are here now and we can grow from being more than sad hard to shake the tragic fear of how your love was something bad I might have been the best you never had Maybe it’s the best you ever had and all it does now is make you sad Doesn’t it make you feel like something when nothing ever seems to go your way acting on behalf of words that you sing and don’t know how to say Always hope you have your next best day Maybe it’s the best you’ve ever had and getting it better doesn’t make you sad There was a point to this whole commotion Let’s finally put this story off to bed Bad enough to keep this rift in motion just so you’re the best to study so hard but skip the final test Maybe it’s the best you ever had and you know exactly why that makes you sad

Two notes 05:03
lyrics
buy track
I’ve been high on your smile watched you cry every tear would break my heart in two until there was only just me and you You and I like a song a lullaby each note would send a shiver up my spine cause I was yours and you were mine you told me that love was enough and I felt so weak longing for your touch only two notes and they’re wrong and I sing it like it’s the only song I know love yourself you said as you closed the door gentle while we played at being one soul tied when you dropped the ball we both cried Just one soul one hand on the door so we’re told can you find patience and make with it peace? are we ever more in need of a gentle release? you told me that I was enough and I learned the hard way that even tender love could be tough Only two notes and they’re blue and I sing em like the only one listening is you I’ll draw from the cards keep an eye out for storms send my regards to the shoes that I’ve worn raise a glass for the chance of taking more chances I’ve always got time for these hopeless romances when it’s finally time to sit back and unwind I hope to see that smile returned a compromise and lessons learned made it all up as we went along there’s only two notes to this song And I sing it like it’s the only song I know And I sing it like the only one listening is you

Picture yourself 04:14
lyrics
buy track
picture yourself walking out there on the road looking out for traffic doing as you’re told picture yourself waiting with nothing on the shelf you’re spending time like money never known such wealth time to turn it over a new leaf will come up found a three leaf clover let’s blame it on your luck speak easy don’t lie don’t just picture it picture yourself Tell a story ask why don’t just picture it picture yourself Picture yourself helping out to lend a hand there are many ways my son to make a better man gentle isn’t weak and these weeks can turn to days hope you find your feet as you slowly make your way Picture yourself hiding a portrait underground when the leaves start rustling wildly you’ll know that you’ve been found looking for perspective to see and feel something new Without a clear objective you can still enjoy the view speak easy don’t lie don’t just picture it picture yourself Tell a story ask why don’t just picture it picture yourself Picture yourself smiling it doesn’t mean there won’t be tears but when your heart gets broken you can picture yourself here somewhere in your bloodstream a river underground your favorite kind of ice cream a warm embracing sound Picture yourself sailing in a boat out on the sea a view filled with the horizons everywhere you look you’ll see and if that line of sight is broken by a veil of happy tears Tell yourself a secret that only you can hear speak easy don’t lie don’t just picture it picture yourself Tell a story ask why don’t just picture it picture yourself

Something pretty 05:10
lyrics
buy track
I’ve made you something pretty I hope that you’ll agree sometimes just the thought of it can make you make believe I’m not always as considerate as I would like to be there are times I circle back to it and wish it wasn’t me I made you something pretty it’s you. we’d be lost for finding words if I saw you everyday Guess the secret’s knowing what you really want to say Let’s surprise the secrets out and let our shadows play I made you something pretty but I had to give you away They were soft but only seen made you dream of kings and queens the food was always ready when you wanted it to be guess we’ve found our pretty shiny things shining on our cloudy screens if only there was time enough to show you how I really love I’ve made you something stronger than me If it feels like only yesterday perhaps it only was Guess it’s still an answer when you say it’s just because Maybe there’s a better way to give this question time I made you something stronger but I could not make you mine I’ve made you something pretty you said it’s pretty sad maybe it can fill the space we never got to have hope that one day you’ll consider it as I would like to stay made me feel so very fortunate more than I can ever say I made you something special it’s true we’d be lost for finding words if I saw you everyday Guess the secret’s knowing what you really want to say Let’s surprise the secrets out and let our shadows play I made you something pretty but I had to give you away

Friends of mine 03:37
lyrics
buy track
Friend of mine haven’t seen you in such a long time are you feeling the pull of the weight on the heart of your sleeve as you stop for a pause and relearn how to breathe? and when I go there I’ll go there with you until it’s over I share life with Friends of mine are you holding your cards or mine? are we folding laundry outside in the sun under sky as a steady wind blows the clouds go on by? and when I go here I’ll go there with you until it’s over I share life with Friends of mine do you have any treasures to find? are they easy or covered in water and buried at sea? like an uncovered daughter that sings just like me? and when I go there I’ll go there with you until it’s over I share life with You keep me grounded with the wind at my back the sound of unwound strings without the attack it’s not time but the patience that you lack Walking barefooted and stepping on cracks Keeping the time even though it is hard hang it on walls and keep it just like gods sending me flowers and subtle regards I knew that we knew the moment they knew they were ours. when I go there I’ll go there with you until it’s over I share life with Friends of mine so glad that we finally met extending my service and all that I do is your show but it’s still here offered up wherever you go and when I go there I’ll go there with you until it’s over I share life with you

How I love you 04:31
lyrics
buy track
another day gone by Let’s bring it back inside sing another lullaby memorize gentle lines contours of grand design and I know it’s always mine melodies revealing harmonies still waiting When leaving isn’t an option and hope is always Home to all your best intentions and unsaid words like how I love you is why you love me The tempo feels just right another silent night all we need is the moonlight melodies enchanting harmonies left hanging When leaving isn’t an option and hope is always Home to all your best intentions and unsaid words like how I lost you is why you lost me When leaving isn’t an option and hope is always Home to all our best intentions and unsaid words like How you make your way depends on why you want to Stay and live our best intentions and say the words like how I love you is why you love me

Towards 04:40
lyrics
buy track
just a few old photos from the treasured times we’ve shared an image comes to mind of a young boy running down a long gravel road a time of radio with a gentler kind of frequency we were there on the mossy side how easy both the question and reply Gotta read the story to appreciate the twist An image comes to mind of an old time driving down a well worn gravel road a talk show on the radio with a cruel sense of irony we were there under prairie sky how easy both a question and reply Now I’m the camera for the documentary called my memories of you all cracked sepia there’s color too but it’s filtered through old sea glass and honey wine How easy could it be?
