Daydreaming To Pianos You were daydreaming to pianos In your big yellow house It was a warm day for January And the time slowly passed You were daydreaming to pianos, I was regretting a mistake I wish I was always Half asleep and half awake If I were sleep talking, I’d never say The words to let you down And it’s so quiet moving on It’s all I have to turn to now It’s all I have to turn to now You were daydreaming to pianos Smiling your innocent smile Someday I’ll find a love That lasts longer than a little while (chorus)
2.
Must Be Freedom I feel every moment of my life All at once and this must be freedom The good and bad The highs and lows live together Under one roof made of stars The ones I’ve loved live forever I hear every song I’ve ever sung And every song I’ve yet to sing And this must be freedom The good and bad The highs and lows live together Under one roof made of stars The ones I’ve loved live forever I feel every love I’ve ever lost And every love I’ve yet to gain And this must be freedom I feel every moment of my life All at once and this must be freedom The good and bad The highs and lows live together Under one roof made of stars The ones I’ve loved live forever

Remember To Dream I found myself sleeping Nearly dead it seems But I don’t wake up I just remember to dream My eyes were wide open But all I could see Was the cold, cold world I just remember to dream Remember to dream, Across the ocean, across the sea Across the whole wide world Across the whole wide world I feel like something’s out to get me Tearing hard at the seams But I tell myself Just remember to dream (chorus) I found myself sleeping Nearly dead it seems But I don’t wake up I just remember to dream

Waiting To Be Found Looking out from here I see The soul of man blaze across the sky And every force of nature Looking me in the eye I used to think I could ride these clouds Like a train full of lightning and speed But I know better now Cause I was standing on the ground Waiting to be found, when you found me Looking out from here are seeds of love Scattered ‘cross the land I can unchain pride and wash sorrow away You’d still hold my hard luck hand I never thought I could be so low And the angels still could see But I know better now Cause I was standing on the ground Waiting to be found, when you found me I used to think I could ride these clouds Like a train full of lightning and speed But I know better now Cause I was standing on the ground Waiting to be found, when you found me

Fishing Pole To The Stars Sister, brother My long lost lover There's nothing that can't be ours I'll see you soon By the light of the quarter moon And we'll cast our fishing pole to the stars
6.
Life Of The Party Last night I was the life of the party This morning I could have been dead You really saved my life Now that's once or twice Rock & Roll really went to my head So this one goes out to you kindly Words with a melody so strong Its time to celebrate, cause its never too late I'm the life of the party singing my song I think its alright We really did it now In the morning light We're gonna make it there somehow I hope no one finds me that way Again, it must have been a scare I was out of my mind, left there for you to find I am surely glad you were there
7.
Whim and a Whisper The boombox is drowning out the crickets The moon is high, hiding in the thicket Through the window I hear The strumming of a weary tune Singing you’ve got to hold on You’re gonna find your best friend soon You’ve got tomorrow, Tomorrow you never missed her This world was made On a whim and a whisper There’s a campfire burning, there’s the postcard blues There’s a silence in knowing there’s nothing to lose There’s whiskey in a glass And coffee in the kettle And when you wake up in the morning All your good dreams settle (chorus) Philosophers and gypsies cross paths by chance Fireflies and cigarettes, in the dark how they dance Everybody’s telling stories To fill an empty space Everybody’s got fire and starlight Glowing on their face (chorus)

Surrender 03:03
Surrender When you left you took a piece, Of my silent sunlit heart Your face could be my face, You couldn’t tell us two apart So is it any wonder I can see you, When I close my eyes? Is it any wonder I can hold you Beneath those endless skies? When I see you again will you still know my name? Cause nothing feels the same There’s no one to blame You surrender The clock don’t look back it seems And I always knew that too But when you lose everything you love You tell yourself, that’s something We all go through And you know that I can find you In the dark and raging wind And you know that I can call you Linda you’re my best friend

Beautiful Infinite Wonderful My love comes to me in the night Seeking my protection From the evil men and ill winds of this earth Claiming her perfection She's got the truth sealed in her heart And laughing lips No gold or silver can afford Her promises she keeps Reveals her prophecies without a word Everybody's got the answer, They're so sincere I've been searching my whole life It was in my ear All along Oh, you're beautiful, infinite and wonderful My love comes to me in the morning Seeking conversation She crawls through my bedroom window Destroys my isolation She asks me where I've been and I tell her But she don't believe me She says you've been hiding out too long boy Why don't you just come out to see me I've been fighting the weather I've been fighting the tears All these excuses turn into years before you know Then I saw your face in the mirror It looked like the future But it was much more clear to me now Oh, you're beautiful, infinite and wonderful

Redbird 03:18
Redbird I’d rather be a dirty old bird Singing my song from your floor Than be a red, red bird Who’s flying so high and free But still outside your door How can I be free When I’m outside your door? Broken hearts have the rain And thieves have the night But my love has none such the same So I’ll walk right through These empty streets at dawn An orphan child singing your name I’ll walk these streets an orphan child singing your name
11.
Waves + Waves Golden leaves and piney trees So many stars, so many stars And if you believe, I'll believe This could all be ours, all be ours We could be like that lucky old sun And roll around heaven till our good day comes Hold your hand till it melts our soul Waves and waves how they roll and roll Well I'm all alone so call me home We gonna take all night, take all night Tomorrow's brave so let's be brave Gonna get things right, get things right (chorus)
12.
Involuntary Motion There's much more to dreaming Than a pillow and a bed There's the things you forgot to say And what you wish that you never said I wish that I never said I never wanted you to let me go And I love you and I love you so It's an involuntary motion There's much more to breathing Than your face and the air It's these involuntary motions We take for granted are there I took for granted you were there I never wanted you to let me go And I love you and I love you so It's an involuntary motion
13.
Falling Leaves Overflowing ashtrays and empty coffee cups A tangled mess but I’m not giving up I’ve got a worn-out soul and them walking blues But who am I kidding I don’t wear no shoes Lay it all out like your heart on your sleeve Like the sound in my chest every time that you leave Like the people you loved you never could be Like the smell of cold fronts and falling leaves Twenty-seven came and went I thought all my life had been spent It’s no accident, that car didn’t kill me I’ve still got a little passion left in me For cheap women and expensive whiskey All my life has been spent dreaming (chorus) Go down into the river Of a lover’s dirty liver

about

do you scatter sunflower seeds along highways and seasides?
they grow into lighthouses crowned by lilies
guiding sad little ships blue on the horizon
does it rain in your dreams and the sun is still shining
music drifting out of windows into the neighborhood?
do you ever miss an old friend?
a little boy in New Orleans singing everybody's song
a love song to songs and the people and places they take you
a thank you for the means and privilege to sing them
in the fragile of a little while
fisherman's footsteps fall down the street
I saw their shadows in the stars
they drew in their nets to the lull of waves
