You 03:30
You in splendid Autumn You in sparkling sea You in moonlit meadows You in every key Song of you in my heart Song of coming Spring You in all my waking thoughts You my everything You you you you you Tell me all your stories Sing me all your songs Wrap your soul around me Hold me all night long Lead me to your innocence Play me like a string You my everlasting love You my everything You you you you you You there with your courage And your heart so open wide You behind your grammar And your patience And your pride You there with your suitcase And your curiosity Your smiling eyes and hunger For the world You you you you you.

River 04:50
And when the day breaks  And your eyes are opened wide And you remember  That all of this will pass  And there’s an ocean  For all the tears we’ve cried And there’s a reason  That nothing ever lasts  And there’s a river That’s moving us along  Yeah there’s a river  That’s always here and gone  And it’s beautiful  It’s beautiful  And there’s a moment  Just before the sun goes down  The waters dancing  Like jewels upon a crown And there’s a current  That’s comforting and strong  And in this slowing We can hear it’s song  And there’s a river  No matter where we are  Yeah there’s a river  That flows into the stars And it’s beautiful  Yeah it’s beautiful   There’s melodies in waterfalls  There’s laughter in the wind There’s a stillness just outside these walls  As we all begin again

California 03:07
Looking to the future’s Like looking to the past Nothing’s gonna change it And nothing ever seems to last So why don’t we just sit here Happy in the moment And watch the sunset And watch this sunset The waves don’t worry Birds don’t worry The fish don’t worry And we just worry all the time I wish I hadn’t said that I hope we get to go there I hope the earth ain’t too flat I wish I were a millionaire... Heads in the clouds Hearts underground Ashes ashes Falling down Life is more than Loss and gain And I may never see you again If California falls into the sea Stars get older Trees get older We all get older But we’re still little kids inside Take me to the sea shore Let me wear the king’s crown Everybody’s on the top floor Of a house that’s burning down

The wind is rustling down the street it’s whispering in the trees I’m listening to hear If my name is in that breeze And that may seem unlikely And unlike me, but It’s true Just as every person holds a crowd there’s a thorn in every crown and there's a world in every town And as the curtain falls After a little while Songs from Exile Songs from Exile Here inside these walls your loving eyes and smile Are all I need for these Songs from Exile What’s out of site’s not out of mind Especially these days So invisibly confined So much beauty on display Here's to Spring in all its glory may it's story never change everything is different yet the same so much is gone and still remains so much wonder every day

Such A Shame 02:59

The Night 04:35
Just because it’s black and white today Doesn’t mean it’s always been that way Things are always changing Just because we made mistakes back then Doesn’t mean we won’t make them again We’re only human The Bible is a story book It’s a leap before we look Let’s read some Other stories ‘Cause every night we leave the light on Afraid the dark won’t disappear And every morning when the sun comes up we say That the night won’t find us here Just because we felt the lesson’s sting Doesn’t mean we learned a single thing It goes in circles We celebrate the new year every one We made another trip around the sun It’s just more circles Lay our children down to sleep Teach them how to look before they leap That’s the least that we can do ‘Cause every night we leave the light on Afraid the dark won’t disappear And every morning when the sun comes up we think That the night can’t find us here We’re pretty good at self deception We’ve been at it for so long Always think we’re the exception Never think we may be wron

Mama 03:10

I’m tired of thinking about the end of the world If it’s the final curtain Let’s just take a bow it’s a curse and it’s a shame It could be worse it could be raining And it doesn’t really matter anyhow Now I lay me down to sleep And you can have my soul to keep But don’t follow me ( don’t follow me) Don’t follow me ( I’m just as lost as .. I’m just as lost as you are) We’ve been pretty bad stewards Of a pretty sweet deal Given everything we need And still we had to steal Clouds turn into rivers And rivers into seas And we just turn in circles everyone agrees Now I lay me down to sleep And you can have my soul to keep And I really want to know Are we lost or are we just lazy And I’ve got to stop watching the news Cause it’s making me crazy don’t follow me ( don’t follow me) Don’t follow me ( I’m just as lost as .. I’m just as lost as you are)

Unexpected holiday An unexpected holiday Pack your bag and run away with me Heading north along the coast Up to the trees that we love most of all And it seems like forever Since the last time we were here Beaches laced with purple sand And Cool wind in our hair Just an unexpected holiday Pack your bags and run away with me Close your eyes my love And promise there’s no peeking Let the other people hide And we’ll go do some seeking On an unexpected holiday Leave the world and run away with me The world is getting bigger now and i know somehow that we’ll get use to it We spin the globe and stop it with our fingers and laugh and dream a bit And all the miles we’ve left behind Our hearts will not forget the places that we traveled to And the people that we met On our unexpected holiday

Losing America I’ve never been the patriotic kind My accidental birth place was never on my mind I always understood pride goes before a fall I came of age with Vietnam and I’llu Nixon after all. I understand utopia’s just another dream And I’ve never cast my line into that sentimental stream But still it’s sad to watch it crash and burn this way Losing America I’ve never really bought into the good old days theme Every generation has its hardships and its dreams Every single person wants happiness and love And we waste our time if we think it’s coming from above I realize there’s nothing new underneath the sun And we’re not the first to feel betrayed and overrun But there’s always been an idea in our hearts that we held dear The idea that it couldn’t happen here Losing America Nothing lasts forever baby Maybe it’s just time We’re losing America

Forever 03:31
If I could save the love in your eyes Wrap it up in sunset skies And hide it in the harbor of my heart always have you there inside me Always have your love to guide me Never have to worry that we’ll part And we could be like birds above Just as free are we my love I hope that we grow old together I just want to hold you forever It’s still like a dream with you Every day’s a dream come true Every night I count my lucky stars Everywhere we roam it’s true if you’re there I’m home with you It doesn’t really matter where we are Promises and vows aren’t just things we say I’ll keep them in my heart to my dying day
