1. Strong Again
Here I am again once more with hat in hand and at your door
The rain won’t quit, nor will but I need a break and your place looks dry
There’s no prodigal in this son I got a broken wheel and an rusted gun
But one more night and I’ll be fine by tomorrow’s dawn, down the line
Think I’ll drop my bucket until the well brings sand
if the earth sits still and the sea expands
It’s getting late and that I know, I just watched the late, late show
And if I only knew the trick I’d hide the bird, nice and quick
Colored hankies in my hand make a nest, a white dove lands
Strong again, strong again, strong enough you know
But every sail needs a little wind to blow
Running out of rooms to fill no vacancies beyond that hill
Keep away from driving rain and think of things you can’t explain
Low on fuel and low on bread with a dried out throat and empty head
Moving til the pavement ends on Bimini we’ll make amends
Strong again, strong again, strong enough you know
But every sail needs a little wind to blow
Flying circles round the sun and breaking down while on the run
Stranded in the no fly zone and too afraid to fly alone
Bouncing like a rubber ball once then twice then off the wall
Filling up that empty trunk with memories and useless junk
Strong again, strong again, strong enough you know
But every sail needs a little wind to blow
Here I am again once more with hat in hand and at your door
Bending back to bend your brain, get a smile and ease the pain
One more “once upon a time” take us away and steal our minds
One more night and I’ll be gone somewhere down the road we’re on
Strong again, strong again, strong enough you know
But every sail needs a little wind to blow
2. Don’t Turn on the Light
Sail on tomorrow and lay low tonight
Come sleep in the shadows and leave with the light
Soft wings of feather are made for the air
Like the ribbon that’s holding up your hair
Down in a valley or way up in the sky
Lies the sweet glow of passion that burns in your eyes
Song for the morning and one for the night
Like a whisper in mid-evening flight
Chorus:
In the deep and the dark of the night
There’s no sorrow there’s no light
Wake me when you have to go
I’m in a dream you know
Don’t turn on the light
Black summer satin with glistening tails
In the green of the fields at the edge of the trail
I’ll keep on driving so you watch the signs
As the road eats and swallows the time
Innocent age is now gone in a blink
Like a stone in the pond, how fast it will sink
When summer love breaks into two
You’re broken-hearted with nothing left to do (Chorus)
They’re locking up the gates now the season is done
The curtains are closed and down goes the sun
Earth spins again and the child is a man
Now I’m back at the place I began
Gone is the moment and gone is the light
Like a ripple in water or pheasant in flight
Be on your way and away you will be
Somewhere beyond the wild blue sea (Chorus)
3. Open Field
Saturday night it’s cold driving a lonely road
Twisting through the miles
Memories and worn-out smiles
Carry what you need tonight
Ready to hit the lights
Be there ten or more, take them safely back to shore
Chorus:
Chips are down, who stuck around?
It can get cold out in the open field
The truth is mean and a quite a big machine
Its pistons pump and grind the wheels
Yesterday went so well, that’s good for the old thin shell
There’s too damn much to take
And not enough to make
As long as there’s me and you
Stronger than a crew
We’ll take them all down in style, every precious mile (chorus)
Road come free my mind, rolling away the time
Confessions seem to come
Before the journey’s halfway done
We spend more time en route
And don’t keep what we shoot
Then turn and roll away, toward another day (chorus)
Saturday night it’s late, some things you can’t escape
Keep moving ahead I guess
Couldn’t end with anything less
Carry what you need today
Leaving with no delay
Be there ten or more, take them safely back to shore (chorus)
4. Morning Light
Dawn’s arising time to leave and find yourself another world
Heart up in the grindstone let it spin down to the core
When light shines through the window let it lead you to your doorway
And follow until you cannot follow anymore
See them in the harbor most boats quiet, moored and lonely
Waiting for their captains who they know may never show
Busy bustling building bumbling can't get to the ocean
The open water winds and tides those boats may never know (chorus)
Chorus:
There’s a chill in the air
A light out on the ocean
Changing tide approaching
Can’t you see?
Tomorrow will be soon
So dance beneath the moon
And may morning light come set you free
Buildings all seem older and the long roads all seem shorter
Trees are twice as tall and bridges half the size
The school house and the fields they both get smaller every moment
Kickin’ ‘roud this old town makes you realize (chorus)
Bridge:
And all the colors and the scents and the scratches and the dents
The broken concrete, faded signs and folks
Another memory comes flailing up at me
Then quickly dissipates away like smoke
Lucky fools are neither, most things ain’t quite what they seem to be
And there’s a chance the blind mouse leaves and finds himself a crumb
There's really no describing how it happens fast or slowly
You’ll rise from beneath the lowest depths then up above the sun (Chorus)
5. Hey, Hey, Hey
Said it all too soon and then you said it all again
Now I’m gone, gone, gone like the wind
You left me with a broken wing but I’m flying high again
High, high, high as I’ve ever been
Took me down your river once and I won’t go down again
Down, down, down is where I’ve been
Sprung a leak, went overboard and had to learn to swim
No, no, no won’t swim back again
You broke a fragile heart like the time you did before
And let it crawl, crawl, crawl on back for more
You were on the high seas while I was on the shore
No, no, no won’t swim back no more
Chorus:
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Set it up and knock it down like a bowling pin
Let it roll, roll, roll down again
If you believe the game is fair then you take it on the chin
And you get rolled, rolled, rolled down again
Slight of hand or slight of mind as long as you believe
Good as gone, gone, gone for eternity
Got them all out guessing and climbing up a tree
Buzz, buzz, buzzing like a honey bee (Chorus)
Broke the spell, flew the coup now running on the lamb
Hoping to find, find, find out who I am
A broken-hearted little boy or a broken-hearted man
Gotta get far, far, far from where I ran
Riding on the wave now all the way to the seaside
Let it roll, roll, roll away I will ride
Back on my feet and turn around and take another dive
Flow, flow, flow with the tide (Chorus)
6. This Ole Thing
Runnin’ down the road, as classy as they come in
Twenty years ago, but brand new to me
Chewing up the miles, of the mountains and the city
On a final romp before eternity
Cruising on the pike, take it up to Boston
Stage is waiting there, show time’s at six
Suddenly she pulls and leads me to the exit
Got the alternator blues, this junkie needs a fix
Chorus:
This ole thing is not for free
Rock- steady on the street
The treads are new but the rest is cavin’ in
Got a big, old hungry heart
And dilapidated parts
If you wanna cruise, we’ll cruise, come and jump on in
You never really know exactly where you're goin’
GPS a destination, get an arrival time
But another something blows, you need a shower and a towin’
Covered up in dust, rust and crust and grease and grime
First the wipers died, and the blinkers lost direction
Ancient wires frayed, sparked, smoked and burned up cash
But all the memories were worth the messy moments
Got us to the gig one last time ‘fore you coughed up ash (Chorus)
Bridge:
Smoke and oil, grinding gears
No AC we’re melting here
Roll the windows down some more
Smells like six, there’s only four
The emerald turned to dust, the winter took the Hornet
Loved that hunk of junk the way you love a friend
Though it wasn't very long, no, I hardly even worn it
Left a broken heart in a parking lot at the bitter end (Chorus)
7. Black Bird
It’s no wonder how we knew the deal right there from the start
The planets all aligned just right and cupid shot the heart
From the drumming and the strumming coming from the city streets
To the wild wilderness among the mountains and the trees
We took the road we traveled on until we found the way
A hurricane came blowing and the ocean met the bay
Somewhere in the distance there was something glowing there
And morning light came slowly rising up into the air
Chorus:
If you say “I’ll go” then I will follow
No matter what they know, they don’t know everything
Meet me at the brook, by the tree in the hollow
When we hear that black bird sing, when we here that black bird sing
There’s no sign of higher ground when you’re somewhere out at sea
Searching for a dream disguised as sunken treasury
And if I find the gold trust me, you’ll be the first to know
Until then keep your sea legs, grab and oar and row (chorus)
So we burn the daylight oil and burn out the light
Once again tomorrow morning, twice again tomorrow night
And flying high against the sky through a cloud’s a crow
Cawing in the distance and leading where to go (chorus)
Keep it coming, bring it on, ain’t nothing here will break
Every shot we get tomorrow is another one I’ll take
But I can’t keep on shooting for the moon, it’s full of marks
From the dreamers and the schemers aiming in the dark (chorus)
8. Dancing Flame
Everything is blue
Blue light all around
A great big empty sky and deep blue sea
And as it fades it takes you down so easy
Falling like a feather fast asleep
Chorus:
Say, by the way, she’s like a dancing flame
Sweet as sugar cane and beautiful
A warm, green meadow where the wildflowers grow
A gentle summer breeze along the bay
There isn’t a day when we don’t stop and wonder
If the painting’s dry and ready for the hall
All of the roads run right off the canvass
Don’t believe we’ve taken them all (Chorus)
Flying away
Stumbling through the time
Of puzzle pieces, games and nursery rhymes
Are we ever the same after the speed of light?
Soaring from the dawn into night (chorus)
9. Up to the Moon
I went up to the moon
Bounced myself all around
Left some tracks in the dust
My boots wouldn’t stay down
It’s so cold up there
And so hard to breath
It’s tough to stay warm
And harder to leave
You’re so close to the heavens
A far off galaxy
Another stratosphere
Far away from me
Here’s hoping you see
White lights and great stars
Constellations twinkle bright
Collect them in a jar
Chorus:
Hey Babe, I should go under, away from daylight
The day makes it clear when its time to go
Up to the moon for the night
The earth is a jewel
Round, green and blue
There’s a quarter million miles
Between this world and you
It’s so quiet and up there
When you’re all on your own
Too much time to remember
the missions you’ve flown (Chorus)
I’ve got moon my rocks hid
In the pockets of my coat
Like take them out late at night
Just to watch them float
Some of them will glow
Some weigh not a thing
Some are just too heavy
To decorate this string (Chorus)
I went up to the moon
For one last goodbye
Filled the galaxy with tears
And kept the rest for my eyes
The river far below
Scattered ash in the breeze
Rolling ‘neath the stars
Towards the open sea (Chorus)
