All You Need

on and on we start again
leaves of grass or waves of wind
same old shape but a different man
fool them all, smile, shake their hands.
oh this failing fame,
sinks to nothing,
is it all that you'll ever need?
one by one y’all push against
the aging guard though they pay the rent.
craft them all, curate your days
just so, just so, your perfect parade.
but this fleeting fame
sinks to nothing
is it all that you'll ever need?
so take me as I am
and this life unseen.
i'm here i'm calling out,
i'm all you need
we wake up, our faces on,
is this all that we'll ever need?
when the game is up, and no one cares at all,
am i all that you'll ever need?

Golden Light

golden light through the open door,
splashless breeze against your skin.
on the wind, the salty tide
of sweat, of tears, of ocean.
golden light through the old window,
spilling out on the floor.
on the wind, the luring call
of toil, of change, of joy.
oh your errant heart
swept along by the breeze again.
so you’re lost in the golden light,
splashless while you drift.
but on the wind there’s nothing left,
nothing left to swim against.
oh your unmoored heart
drawn along in the wake again.
oh your unmoored heart
drawn along in the wake again.
oh your wild heart
wasn't it always someplace else?

The River

don't we all throw a coin and wish for this?
you and I in bed the record’s on we're so
cavalier, 'understood at last,' you said, so we were
calling out what we think our futures hold
but you are the river, and i'm the stone
canyon wall you were just, just passing through.
morning light reappeared, we'd stayed up all night.
the garden lay undiscovered, the trees shared their colors.
can't we stay like this for all of time? never.
never change your course, never change your mind?
but you are the river and i'm the stone
canyon wall and you're just, just passing through
like the wind through the valley and the sea that scrapes the shore,
all those days did shape us
because you are the river and I'm the stone
and you're swift, and you're strong, and I erode
you are the river and I'm the stone
canyon wall and you're just, just passing through.

Handful of Dust
03:41
|
|

hide up in the dust with all of time
cradled in your hands, buried in your mind.
all by yourself in the days gone by;
those old golden suns give you light.
with a handful of dust
and a heartful of ash,
you've seen far too much in there
shuttered in your past.
hide your leery eyes and spurn the rest.
like a swallow that dives in the hunt in the twilight you search,
chasing what you know you can’t get:
the boulder that rolls, the sadness of home, the loss of someone great
with a handful of dust
and a heartful of ash,
you've seen far too much in there
shuttered in your past.

Every Wind
03:23

we carried the breeze as long as we could, but we'd had a rough few years
we tightened our grip for fear it might slip, but like every wind, it got away
and somehow we lost it all, somehow we lost it all.
we carried the breeze to the hills to the seas, but like every wind, it begins and it ends
and somehow we lost it all, somehow we lost it all.
but i was told if I wait patiently, yeah, she would come back to me.
but i've been sold a pack of lies, yet I choose to believe.
'cause somehow I lost it all, somehow I lost it all.
oh somehow I just let go. somehow I let you go.
