A Marten's home
04:21

Wish I’d been a marten
out there in the woods
searching for a nest egg
up to no good
I’d be searching for hours
until I found what I needed
little bit of comfort
little bit of ground
To call my own and just be there
right there on the spot
and where I’ve only just come from
it’s no longer a thought
I wish I’d been a marten
and you were one too
We would spend our days naked
and we’d always be home
Feels so good to be home
Feels so good
to be home
I still light you a candle
ring a bell in your name
I burn sage and sweetgrass
you can smell it for days
maybe you’re a little bird now
if that’s how this works
we always stay where we’re going
we always stay where we’re from
and I’ll be a little marten
I wonder would we be friends
will I take all your nest eggs
will you peck out my eye
Feels so right
Feels so good to be home

Never forget
06:25
|

I miss the sight of your breath in the winter
the gentle way you held my hand so tight
like you were holding me up
on my way down
I miss the curl of your hair in the sunshine
the way you didn’t know just how pure you are
you were a star
you were my sun
I miss the smoke in my eyes when we’re camping
The way you knew every trail led to waterfalls
I was the water
you were the flow
I miss not having the memories from later
I remember wishing so hard that we could
share secret handshakes
and we’d always be good
just like sunshine in the rain
this kind of love always carry’s some pain
falling water isn’t so bad
never forget the times we never had
I miss your caveman ways in the kitchen
salt and pepper the smell of cooking stew
fed right from your hand
beans from a can
I miss the dream of going ice fishing
wanting so bad to know what I was missing
I would have been good
dinner for days
I remember prairie road driving
past the town of my birth and past yours too
money for nothing
for me and not you…
I’m not lying cause it’s true
I taught myself how to be like you
and maybe lying isn’t so bad
can never make up what we never had
never forget the times we’re still meant to have x2
I miss the sound of your breath when you’re dreaming
You and I were both happy accidents
you were holding me up
never letting me down
Sometimes there’s sunshine when it rains
a certain kind of comfort with the pain
and maybe forgetting isn’t so bad
can never forget what we never had

Easy tears
03:52
|
|||
|
even when it’s easy doesn’t mean it wasn’t hard
as we tighten our resolve
we’re determined to evolve
we make our own choices when we can
lightening in a bottle waiting for the next storm
like a glow bug in the night
there is not enough light
to see the pages it’s just a glow after all
When it rains it pours and there’s still more bad weather on the way
to be the one inside
would it hurt your pride
to know that you were given another try
sometimes you leave the table before you played your last card
Or any card at all
easy tears will fall
in the morning I’ll be waiting
for your call
or any call at all
easy tears will fall
grand designs to plan your time for making more than plans
so where’s the bucket list?
did you hang it on your fridge?
does dreaming dreams of dreams fulfilled
just tire you out?
This is just the water and where it meets the sand
there’s a lonely little beach
and a soul you gotta reach
you really don’t know but you still understand
distant thunder claps for your performance as a clown
let’s be real
can you tell me how you feel?
is there ever any better than the best you ever had?
sometimes you leave the table before you played your last card
Or any card at all
easy tears will fall
in the morning I’ll be waiting
for your call
or any call at all
easy tears will fall

Tired old day
04:13
|
|||
|
gonna be a long day
and we’re only getting started
could be any old day
but you’d already know
that
I could climb a mountain
in my backyard
and
you can plant a garden
it really isn’t hard
I guess it’s just a tired tired old day
when getting it right doesn’t seem to pay
I could be your best friend
We’ve said this all before
I said that where we’re goin
there would be more
and
I’m going to keep it simple
wait till day becomes night
If I’m going to burn this candle
I just need a light
I guess it’s just a tired tired old day
when getting it right doesn’t seem to pay
I guess it’s just a daydream
waiting to be yours
I know I started later
but can I still do your chores?
can you show me to the pantry
can I take out the trash
maybe make a little herb tea
help you clean up your past
Cause it’s just a tired tired old day
when getting it right doesn’t seem to pay
(I think I’ll eat a grapefruit
when I wake up in the morning)

Try
04:19
|
|||
|
I can remember
letting go
before you left without
even saying goodbye
Told me what to say
and I heard it all before
when I still wanted you to try
try
part of me just
always will
I’m a sucker for holding on
to what’s been gone
a destination
with stops along the way
no matter the outcome we still try
try
your beauty was always
next to mine
could be more beautiful
or cancel each other out
both neither and either or
as you’re heading away
do we still try
try
making something from nothing
try
making time
before time makes you
we like to play around
with our words
deal with our questions and uncertainties
I can be the hero of your fable
or the fool on the mountain
unwilling to try
try
can we try getting
more surgical
the general idea isn’t good enough
it seems
specifically the pursuit of happiness
I can’t make you happy cause
that’s up to you
and it’s worth a try
try
making something from nothing
try
making time
before time makes you

Wake me up
03:38
|
|||
|
went west without a thought on my mind
I was looking for somebody to find
made it easy like I’m making your bed
part of something bigger outside of my
head
headed down to dream
wake me up below this stream
turned my head and everything that I saw
was covered in some yellow dust
if it was sand I wouldn’t have to complain
but it’s nearly just the same
as toxic rain
raining down on me
wake me up below the sea
a mine filled with diamonds
dug from the earth
but you’ll never find them
looking for worth
and while you’re still digging
I’ll give you a clue
all of this digging
It just leads to you
ahhhhh
this very moment I would just like to breathe
in through the nose out the mouth
at any moment you are welcome to leave
on the way can you carry me all the way
outside
where we hear
our inside voices are they here?
tell me again but tell me why
wake me up below the sky
what watch won’t willingly tell the time?
guess I gotta wind it up
It’s only real because I believe it is
and I believe so much in you
wake me up
you wake me up to really dream
