From the album "Steep Bay"


Are You Lonely

Are you lonely up there?
Do you ever feel alone?
You look so close, but you are far away




Running

Gotta get out
Finding my way
A man that ain't seen the world
has got nothing to say
Gotta get out
Leaving today
Gotta move on from here
I've been running all my life
It's freaking me out
It's a side show
Ain't no place that's felt like home
so I let it all go
Its freaking me out
Leaving today
Gotta move on from here
I've been running all my life



These Things Are Mine

When I go
Let the wind spread what's left of me all around
All I've seen
All I need I'll take back with me to the ground
These things are mine
I call them my own
I'll be alright
I am young
I don't take that privilege lightly
Now I'm gone
When its time say you'll come find me
Oh lady, I'm leaving home



Oh Mousey

What is freedom to a mouse in a jar?



All, Nothing

I want it all
I want nothing
I want to be in and out of reach
I want to read
I want to teach
I want to slip through life unseen
I want to paint the scenes of dreams
I want it all
I want nothing
I want to climb the pyramids
I want to walk through ancient doors
I want to speak to spirits who have sailed to distant shores
I want to sink to the bottom of the deep, endless sea
I want to lay there forever
Let the darkness swallow me



Fiona Grace

She might only be three years old, but when she talks
She uses bigger words than half the folks on the block
And when she takes me by the hand
Demands that I sit down
To take part in her world on the living room floor
In some pretend little town
She takes me back to something I once knew
She takes me back to some forgotten greater truth
Oh Fiona, Fiona Grace
Don't you change
We talked about Bob Marley in the sandbox the other day
She said she likes his songs & sings them with her mom and dad
And she told me how he died a long time ago
I asked her what that meant
She said, "He's dormant now. His spirit went back to the source."
And I froze upon those words
Coming out of the mouth of that red haired little girl
Oh Fiona, Fiona Grace
Don't you change

Every little thing is gonna be alright



The Hardest Thing

Oh how I want to keep this alive
Oh how hard I've tried
Before it kills me first
Maybe it's time to let it die
I can't know you anymore
For this void I have myself to blame
Turn around and close the door
I can't know you anymore
I asked Scott what I should do
Having survived what I'm going through
He said "What is right might bring you to your knees,
and that's the hardest thing"
I can't know you anymore
For this void I have myself to blame
Turn around and close the door
I can't know you anymore
