Songs Of The Living

The deer don't lie
I have watched them in the morning light
Dappled neath the beech and ash and maple
Crossing over a river a swollen
with the remnants of a long last winter night
They lift their heads up
To a cloudless sky
To say a storm is coming in
Though it's still miles and miles and miles from here
You've got to trust your intuition
Just to stay alive.
I see blue
On the horizon
I fear not my undoing.
On the horizon
I fear not my undoing.
When the woods get quiet,
It is not silent.
Subtle is the choir of the mystic-
The songs of the living
and dying.
I did not make my way out to this mountain-
howling,
begging for a sign-
For I knew I would not find it
With the eyes of a skeptic.
No, not with the eyes of a skeptic
Will I see blue on the horizon
and fear not my undoing.
On the horizon
I fear not my undoing.

Lost As I've Ever Gone

When the last of the sun meets the juniper
It colors the song of the meadowlark
How many miles have your ready wings flown
And still love is as lost as you've ever known
And still love is as lost as you've ever known
Sweet as the sage and the juniper
To witness the song of the meadowlark
How many miles have I wandered among them
Still love is as lost as i've ever gone.
Still love is as lost as i've ever gone.

Need No Tending

Blue
green
damp earth
I am alright to be just a small part of the beauty in the world
When the nine-mile mountain hums
I need no tending
I need no tending but for the flowers to bloom

The Valley Is Wide
01:31
|

Timeless, unrefined
Night falls heavy
The valley is wide
All-knowing
Long, chained shadows
Unbroken by silvery light-
I'm holding on tight
When that cold wind blows.
You can take my stories
And all the warmth I've known,
But I won't be lonely
under this moon.

High is the canyon we climb
Do the clouds in the sky ever look down?
Why am I so terrified?
Do the clouds in the sky ever look down?
I'm trying just to sleep through the night
Do the clouds in the sky ever come down?

Blue of Distance
04:47
|

I stand where the light can hit me.
Where the light can lift me up.
Cause I know that when the night comes,
With it’s deepest, darkest, lonesome
Blue
I’ll think of you.
In my old bandana,
You wore it all the time.
And I left it in your open hands
When I left our love behind.
It was blue,
Blue as time.
I loved you more than I have ever loved a home.
It really wasn’t you, babe,
I just had to walk alone.
The blue of distance is calling me on.
Calling me on.
Will you stand where the light can hit you?
Where the light can lift you up?
So I know that, when the night comes,
With it’s deepest darkest lonesome
Blue,
You’ll be seeing it too.
It was that blue of distance
That carried me on.
Carried me on.
