I keep talking to you in my head these days
Though I'm walking places very far away
I know that I'm crazy, oh, say you feel the same
There's something in me waiting til you call my name
So you got drunk and said you love me
And I forgive you that
Lots of men make the mistake of talking way too fast
I just don't think it was whiskey, oh
That made your kiss like that
So say again you love me, oh
you'll hear an earful back
I keep talking to you in my head these days
Though I'm walking places very far away
I know that I'm crazy, oh, say you feel the same
There's something in me waiting til you call my name
If you cannot be my man
You know that I would understand
But I keep talking to my hope
So you got to let me go
I keep talking to you in my head these days
Though I'm walking places very far away
I know that I'm crazy, oh, say you feel the same
There's something in me waiting til you call my name

The Pines

My love, will you forgive me? I've been blowing in the pines
I have been drinking from the river, letting sunsets keep my time and oh
You know I have a traveling heart. Don't you know that means
I will be changing just as certain
As the leaves?
My love, will you forgive me when I'm out beneath the stars
A thousand miles from your doorstep I can't hear you sweet guitar
Can you bear the storm a while, as steady as a stone and
Will you miss me in the silence
When I'm gone?
Oh, the wind
It carries me
My love, will you forgive me? I've been blowing in the pines
I have been rolling rocks and sleeping on the schedule of the skies
You know that I'll return and I'll be with you and then gone
Saying I am here now, I am here now, I am right here
Just not for long
Oh, the wind
It carries me
My love, will you forgive me? I've been blowing in the pines
I have been drinking from the river, letting sunsets keep my time and oh
You know I have a traveling heart, this heart this heart is yours
So I am here now, I am here, I will be right here
A while more
Oh, the wind
It carries me

Damn Shame
03:23

Well, it’s a goddamn shame how what we mean the most
Are the things that are hardest to say
Had a thousand conversations with you in my head
But your face just takes my words away
I know we teach young boys to make lots of noise
To live and not apologize
To choose a private hell rather than asking help
What’s a man to do if boys don’t cry?
And we teach young girls the way to serve the world
To be pleasing in another’s eyes
So if my words take flight when I should cuss and fight
Well, I really shouldn’t be surprised
But it’s a goddamn shame how what we feel the most
Are the things that are hardest to say
Can’t you see the signs? Can’t you read my mind?
You should have known it anyway
Yes it’s a goddamn shame but that’s the way things go
When you can’t treat each other right
Looking back today oh I can see the way
That I loved you without compromise
Yes it’s a goddamn shame but that’s the way things go
‘Cause you can’t treat each other right
Looking back today oh I can see the way
That I loved you without compromise

The Sound

If I could make the sound, it’d sound like this
It’d sound just like the water on these cliffs
It’d sound the way a river cuts through stones
And it’d sound the way that tree roots twist and grow
If I could make the sound, it’d sound like this
It’d sound just like the waves eating footprints
It’d sound like dandelions before they grow
And it’d sound just like your backyard, sound like home
So imagine life if everything you do
Did honor to its past and future too
Can you write it in the language of a stone?
Can you build it so its shadows whisper poems?
If I could make the sound, it’d sound like this
It’d sound just like your lover’s fingertips
It’d sound the way that living learned its name and
And it’d sound just like the place from which it came
So imagine life if everything you do
Does honor to its past and future too
Can you speak a word that says all of itself?
Let your body be the place where sky meets ground
