Phoenicia

Six nights at the abandoned Roxmoor
Fog rolling off the Catskills
Poison ivy spoiled my apple pie
On the hunt for the ghosts of Toronto
Winding up Ulster County
Try for siding, left me unsatisfied
So drop me in the wild with nobody else around
As the leaves start spiraling towards the ground
Suns up and I'm back in Phoenicia
Took blueberry fields to Red Rocks
Counting Woodcocks under the rested sky
So swept up I forgot where I came from
But this year was nearly perfect
Gone the days that left me unsatisfied
So drench me in the water with nobody else around
That river bank runs straight through the hollow ground
And dip me in the moon glow with nobody else around
Aging backwards, I'm so much younger now

Your Love

She knows you're waiting for the one, your love
And I can't believe he pulled the plug and hung up the gloves
But I would walk away if you decide to say
You need your space
And I can't help but wonder why, he'd ever let you walk away
And I'll be waiting patiently, yes I'll be counting down the days
For your love
And I've learned from all of his mistakes, seen all your heartbreaks
So what can I do to right his wrongs?
Be your champion
Well I'll be here to stay, if you decide to say
We'll find a way
And I won't stand to watch you cry, I'll dry the tears off of your eyes
Know this for sure, I won't let you down
Yes, I'll be standing by your side
For your love

Another Summer

It's just an hour south on 93 until the Winnetuxet pines
So for chrissakes boys, come visit me
I fear we're running out of time
Well you are who you are and you're all alright
And you can come by any time
You are who you are and you're all alright
Another summer in the gold mine
And by the dealership where Jesus Saves there's a dead deer on the line
But I don't waste good road kill, so pick it up
For some supper cooked cast iron
I said the sun goes down around 9 o'clock
We'll light the trails out back on fire
There are 20 bills for the first one back, I'll meet you by the chicken wire
Well you are who you are and you're all alright
And you can come by any time
You are who you are and you're all alright
Another summer in the gold mine

Long Shot
03:24

|
Cuts on your knees from the briar patch fields where we played
Smoke off the cake from the candles you shaped in my name
And it used to be much easier, sucking honey through straws
But youth, as they say, always flickers then fades away
Back in the dancehalls those mirror boys cut up the floor
First blow to the heart as your eyes shift from me to the door
Your hand in his hand at the summer fair, the ferris wheel turns like a clock
That baby boy swings and the bell barely rings as he walks away
And all I want is for you to take my heart
All I want is to be a part of it all
