The Other Man
03:54

I've been walking with the other man
Looking for things that I need to find
Looking for virtue in a deck of cards
In my suitcase of jokers and scars
Time to tell how the story goes
Feel the rhythm and the changing tide
With the regrets of a dying man
I chart my course for the hundredth time
With the folly of a younger man
I can't help but play my hand
There are many things I thought I'd never see
For a moment I see myself cause I'm loving free
Time to feel the changing light
See the phoenix flying high
It's the season of our lives
Now I have become the other man
Come on
Come on
Come on

Sweetness and Truth
04:25

Far away from heavy water
There are things I always wanted
You're the one without a cover
You're my sweetheart, you're my sweetheart
You're talking to me about how we can be
How to stand in the sea with a wound on your knee
I'm talking to you about sweetness & truth
And it's sweet as could be cause it's you and it's me
When I hold you, you are laughing
There are things that need forgetting
You're the rainbow and the rainfall
Here's the apple of our garden
It's you and it's me, now I know we can be
So I stand in the sea, with a scar on my knee
I'm talking to you about sweetness & truth
And it's sweet as could be cause it's you and it's me
It's you and it's me

Sticks
05:07

The police came down from the woodshed
They found the man
Sprinkled with that switchblade rain
Bourbon river on a window pane
And if the dark's got mirrors on you
Better look before his cloud comes through
We've been playing sticks out here since we were kids
Been running up and down that ridge
Everybody
He tried to tend the field and set aside
Things that make you wanna stand and see the sky
Boy you're gonna have to use your hands
I'll make you learn, I'll make you a man
I've been watching from over by the mill
Been grinding gears here year after year
Seen the hills cast curtains over Dixon Way
Seen him peak, seen him grin, let 'em in
And if your eyes burned burden into you
Hold that candle cause I'm coming too
Yeah you look a little bit like me
Got some sticks, got some stones, got a ring
Everybody
I saw him change from time to time
Every moon his silhouette would look like mine
Man he had a way of putting you at ease
Wish I'd known him, Wish I knew him
When he wasn't on his knees

Lady Lay Lay
03:41

Lady lay lady lay lay
Won't you lie with me
And tell me all the stories you hide 'neath your tree
Lady lay lady lay lay
Why'd you go your way
There's a wolf out hunting for the girl in red, bloody jaw
Lady lay lady come back
To your patient heart
When hanging on my every word was your symptom of love
Lady lay lady we're not sick
We're just stuck to our roots
You burned like a candle when I hid your red dress in my drawer
You need someone free
What you thought I was, what I hoped I could be
Na na na na na we're kids
It's hide n seek
We hide from the beast till your flame goes out under the tree
Lady lay lay it's Winter Park
The first time we ever met
When my coat was your armor and the sparrows sang of fragile hearts
You need to believe
In your roots, the mysteries of life
What you sleep and breathe
For years I called you my lady
My lady lay lady lay lay
Won't you lie with me
Until all the sparrows come sing in our dreams

Maple Door
05:16
|

Summer came the robins flew and Your eyes said u had room
That maple door your father built he framed for us to bloom
And my mother said son build a life
But you don't love me anymore
No you don't love me anymore
Yeah you just want me out that door
Autumn came I tied my tie cause my father taught me pride
Then he said son listen up Mike followed his heart
So I wove the suit and the song
But you don't love me anymore
No you don't love me anymore
Now you just want me out that beat up maple door
Now you are a hummingbird
You've been singing to your heart like your father told you to
And I've been listening for years to my corporate pulse
But I love you
I do
But you don't love me anymore
Like you did when they clapped for us
I don't blame you
But sometimes love just needs some hammers and some nails
Never mind

Love, The Beast
04:27

Love
I've been the underdog
I've been the owl in the midnight fog
I've been the eyes in the forest sand
I've been the serpent that bit the hand of love
I've been the tiger uncaged
I've been feasting with the ghost I tamed
We've been laughing with Medusa
Yeah we're in the forest that hides a man from love
I've been a solitary guy
I built the fortress inside my mind
I've been humility I shook the hand
Of the beast that roams this land
He said be happy
You're not happy
Be happy
Admit you lied
You're the beast
I'm happy
