Wyoming
02:51
|

Wyoming wind,
blow me off this hillside
Dry rolling hills
A thousand thirsty sagebrush
A thousand thirsty sage
ah huh oh
Spirit of this land
loved by its people
shot down by the pioneers
Who drank up all their teardrops
Drank up all their tears
ah huh oh
And the clouds rolled in
and they gathered up all the teardrops
didn't send them down again
And the clouds left town
A thousand thirsty sagebrush waiting on the hallowed ground
A thousand thirsty sagebrush waiting on the hallowed ground
ah huh oh
Story of these hills told by the winds and it's
not forgotten by the plants
not forgotten by the people
not forgotten by the clouds
and the bones buried below
Below
And the fence fell down
and they rounded up all the cattle and took em to the slaughterhouse
And the slaughterhouse fell down
Brick by brick blood on the brick taken back by the ground
Brick by brick blood on the brick taken back by the ground
Brick by brick blood on the brick taken back by the ground
Brick by brick blood on the brick taken back by the ground
ah huh oh
And the clouds rolled in
and they gathered up all the teardrops
didn't send them down again
And the clouds left town
A thousand thirsty sagebrush waiting on the hallowed ground
A thousand thirsty sagebrush waiting on the hallowed ground
A thousand thirsty sagebrush waiting on the hallowed ground
A thousand thirsty sagebrush waiting on the hallowed ground

No More Gold
03:09
|
|||
Better run to the golden hills
Run to the golden mountains
Run to the golden hills
Run to the golden mountains
Cuz the gold inside my teeth
that's all I've left to give
There's no more gold in me
No more gold in me
aw
Rabbit said to the fox
"I put myself first
I always run away"
And the fox said to the rabbit
"I put my good foot first
I always run towards the sun
I always run towards the sun"
Who dug this hole?
So deep for gold?
Better run to the golden hills
Run to the golden mountains
Run to the golden hills
Run to the golden mountains
Cuz the gold inside my teeth
that's all I've left to give
Said the gold inside my teeth
that's all I've left to give
aw
There's no more gold in me
There's no more gold in me
There's no more gold in me
There's no more gold in me

Ashes to Wildflowers
04:28
|
|||
I saw a tree
Growing up up up
from a seed
Since I dug two holes
Since I dug two holes
I been a loonsinger
I been a weather changer
I been a wildflower
I been a loonsinger
I been a weather changer
I been a heart of fire
Ashes to Wildflowers
Ashes to Wildflowers
Ashes to Wildflowers
We sing
Forever is this dream
Since I dug two holes
And new life's everywhere it seems
Since I dug two holes
I been a loonsinger
I been a weather changer
I been a wildflower
I been a loonsinger
I been a weather changer
I been a heart of fire
Ashes to Wildflowers
Ashes to Wildflowers
Ashes to Wildflowers
We sing
Ashes to Wildflowers
Ashes to Wildflowers
Ashes to Wildflowers
We sing

Slippery Slope
04:13
|
|||
It's a slippery slope that we all climb
Move over I'm taking my time
Like a stubborn tree I still grow
The hardest thing to leave behind
The limbs the rings of all these times
I mark them as I grow older
Older, dear
The magic beneath the surface lies
It's everywhere all the time
in everything that's alive
Until you seek until you find
the light in you and leave behind
the parts of you that don't grow here, dear
Grow, dear
Big wings don't clip mine
I go above the below

Oh Heart

Oh Heart
I see the simple ways you fall apart
I track you with my eyes closed and so far
You always split
right down the middle
Oh Love
See see the bursting buds that kiss the sky
They linger in the wind I hear them crying
It's an old song
no one's forgetting
You say "Love"
I say "When?"
You say "Now"
I say, "and then?"
You say "Love"
I say "When?"
You say "How?"
I say "Again, again"
Oh Heart
The work of red tailed spy will never do
The work of ancient eye that's colored blue
Who sees the love
I have for you
Oh Heart
I see the simple ways you fall apart
I track you with my eyes closed and so far
You always split
right down the middle
Oh Love
Layered old faced dirt beneath my feet
I turn my eyes to God and all I see
are clouds
dancing way up high
You say "Love"
I say "When?"
You say "Now"
I say, "and then?"
You say "Love"
I say "When?"
You say "How?"
I say "Again, again"

Dead Leg
02:25
|

Dead leg pain
winters chance
To give the rains
one last dance
Dear
Talk to me of grey skies gone
sleepless nights stumbling dawn
Cannot help but walk it off again
I will
Talk to me of grey skies gone
sleepless nights stumbling dawn
Cannot help but walk it off again
I will
Walk to see a wayside song
Reap this right
blinding wrong
Walk this way the ages pass
wooden plank
hammer last
Would it ever go away
before I do
Walk this way the ages pass
wooden plank
hammer last
Would it ever go away
before I do
Go hungry
So hungry
Go hungry
Go hungry
So hungry
Go hungry
Dead leg pain
winters chance
To give the rains
one last dance
Dear

Mama's Evening
03:32
|
|||
In the evening when Mama
rocks calmly in her rocking chair
and the bats flutter through the night
You may feel
In the evening when Mama
rocks calmly in her rocking chair
and the bats flutter through the night
You may feel
So Alive
So Alive
You may feel like a human
You may feel like a mountain
You may feel like a gold silver cloud
who always changes her mind
Never mind
Never mind
In the evening when Mama
rocks calmly in her rocking chair
and the bats flutter through the night
You may feel
In the evening when Mama
rocks calmly in her rocking chair
and the bats flutter through the night
You may feel
So Alive
Watch the earth
and see
how it quickens
and dies
Watch the tree tops
and see
shapes of animals
in the sky
in the sky
in the sky
in the sky

Beautiful Words
03:32
|
|||
There are songs you won't hear
when you're rushing on by
There are songs you won't hear
when you're driving so fast
There are songs
only heard
on a quiet night passing
These are songs of the hills
they are songs of the sky
So hold on
Hold on
and hear beautiful words
Hold on and hear beautiful words
There's a call from above
it's a little white bird
There's a call from above
it's a little black bird
There's a call from above
it's a little blue sky
Well hold on
Hold on
and hear beautiful words
Hold on and hear beautiful words
There are songs you won't hear
when your rushing on by
There are songs you won't hear
when your driving so fast
There are songs
only heard
on a quiet night passing
These are songs of the hills
they are songs of the sky
So hold on
Hold on
And hear beautiful words
Hold on and hear beautiful words
Hold on and hear beautiful words

Buffleheads
03:58
|
|||
Come to the highest dune with me
we'll look out and we will see
miles and miles of canopy
Yellow ochre
Yellow ochre underneath
the grey sky and memories
Here the pines are evergreen
Scattered among leafless trees
Trees
And behind me
the big old lake is telling secrets
To whoever will listen
I see birch trees listening
Love is like a big birch tree
always shedding everything
Peel back layers and you'll see
what it's made of
I am listening
I am dreaming
We are made of rocks and lake
We are made of everything
I am listening
I am dreaming
We are made of rocks and lake
We are made of everything
Come to the highest dune with me
we'll look out and we will see
miles and miles of canopy
Yellow ochre
Yellow ochre underneath
the grey sky and memories
Here the pines are evergreen
Scattered among leafless trees
Trees
Trees
Trees
We are made of rocks and lake
We are made of simple things
We are made of buffleheads
We are made of everything
We are made of rocks and lake
We are made of simple things
We are made of buffleheads
We are made of everything

Ghost
03:22
|
|||
Resting
rest in my mind
My chest
is like a
finder of gold
a finder of answers
find souls
Oh Love, Oh Ghost, Oh Love
Is there some feeling to feel through?
Is there a lantern
under you? Oh Love
Oh Ghost, Oh Love, Oh Ghost
I see you trying
You are just like a
blanket of crows
a blanket that's reaching out to hold
Oh Love, Oh Ghost, Oh Love
Is there some season to live through?
Is there an anchor
under you? Oh Love
Oh Ghost, Oh Love, Oh Ghost
Lets stand like the tallest tree
don't fall apart
don't fall on me Oh Love
Oh Ghost, Oh Love, Oh Ghost
Is there some feeling to feel through?
Is there a lantern
under you? Oh Love
Oh Love

We Will
03:44
|
|||
We are the stars
that sing to the rivers
that sing to the creatures
and never forget
We are the sunshine
that warms all cold corners
holds the heart open
even in these times
And we'll fly
away
Some day
We will fly
Yes we'll fly
away
Some day
We will fly
We are the hands
that stretch back the ages
the bones of our tables
our mothers and dads
We are the tides
so strong unforgiving
focused and living
backbones of time
And we'll fly
away
Some day
We will fly
Yes we'll fly
away
Some day
We will fly
