Dreaming Rain

I’ve been dreaming rain
Calling it by name
Conjured in my sleep
Summoned from the deep
To wash away the tears
To wash away these earthly years
To take us back in time
Till the multitudes and fate entwine
To dream of goodness forevermore
To see what each day holds in store
To stand before you nigh on high
Traverse the world and wonder why
Spin me a yarn
(Tell me a story)
Make it a good one
(Bask in the glory)
One of peace
(We’ve had enough warring)
Tell me of love
(Stretched out before me)
I’ve been dreaming, dreaming rain
I have heard the songbird sing
Found the joy in everything
Stood before a world reborn
Weathered every single storm
Stretched forth my hands and then
Bared my soul to emptier men
Found the key to life within
Wandering each new day again

A Quicker Way Out
04:15

Ready to scream, pull my heart through my head
Such a bad dream, it’s the same day again
Disposable plaything studied and judged (double time lines)
Scrutinized, derided can’t get enough
Ready to scream, pull my heart through my head
Is there a quicker way out than the way I came in?
So turned around tell me where to begin
Head in the sand and a Cheshire grin
A quicker way out than the way I came in?
Hand in the till and a head full of blow
Decisions are made that hit down below
A vampire descends sample your blood
Sample the Kool Aid our favorite stuff
Ready to scream, pull my heart through my head
As false as they come it’s alright with me
Our need to control it’s like a disease
Bury the lead an unfettered crime
Frustration lurking the back of your mind
Ready to scream, pull my heart through my head

This Rusty Old Boat

This rusty old boat takes me across the water
To the place where I kiss the farmer’s daughter
There beneath the age oak tree
You’ll find her there waiting for me
I wouldn’t trade this boat for riches or bounty
I wouldn’t trade this boat in any other county
I wouldn’t trade this boat for fortune profess
I wouldn’t trade this boat for anything less
It brings me to the warmth of her arms
It brings me to the grace of her charms
It brings me to her open embrace
It brings me to the most beautiful place
This rusty old boat will carry us away
By the cover of night to the twilight of day
We’ll shelter here until the swelter subsides
Then set out again as darkness provides
No more constraints with the future ahead
Suitors in love and soon to be wed
Tales will be told as troubadours once wrote
And all that it took was this rusty old boat

Like a hermit
I burrow and foment
For the moment
Forgot what that meant
See the future
At the end of each day
Hear the voices calling
Gravity’s way
To the bottom of the dancefloor
Spiraling down
Earth below me
Close to the ground
Torn to pieces
You just never know
What might happen
Or just how far you will go
The sky is falling
Feels like a dream
But you can’t wake up
If you know what I mean
Tide is rising
Over our heads
Sole surviving
Take one last breath
Prophesizing
We’re nearing the end
Humanity calling
For the advent of men
Ears are covered
Eyes are all closed
It seems so hopeless
But you just never know

What Would Woody Say
04:55
|
|||
|
All this aggression has no place in a sane heart
All of this greed a weak-kneed retort
I wouldn't trade places with those twelve angry men
Who spew forth their venom and never say when
Now tell me why I would throw that away
to be on the wrong side of history today
and angry at all who share the same fate
When the prospect of joy awaits
If Woody were here, he'd say much the same
He'd let it be known in letter and name
Standing for those who needed it the most
With no one alive to speak for his ghost
You can promise the world but it won’t mean a thing
As seen through the mask of falsehoods you bring
Fed the illusion as someone who hears
Said through the warpaint living in fear
