LYRICS FOR 'QUARANTUNES'
For Now (I’m In The Country)
For Now I’m in the country
You’ve gotta live alone for a little while
Before it suits you
Don’t expect to feel good right away
You’ve gotta learn to love the sounds of the house and
Your favorite time of day
For Now I’m in the country
Finding there’s more hours after noon
So I take my time not getting there too soon
You’ve gotta get to know the sounds of the house and
The tree outside your room
For now
Peace Like Rivers
You lay it out on the grass and
Tell me I’m gonna need new flowers soon
You let me up in the attics
Say how the sink will have the best view
But I do
You lift the veil on the woodpile
Tell me how it burns without asking first
You lick the blood off of your hand
Say how I won’t have to worry I’m cursed
But I do
Peace like rivers in a dream
I like that to mean
We’re right where we should be
That our prayers are received
Peace like rivers in a dream
I like that to mean
Someone else came between us and
when I’m down I can stay down
I turn our talk back to work now
Say there are certain games I won’t play
You on your hands and knee cooing
Can’t pick a card any card so won’t you
I do
Fire At The Ocean
Won’t you ever follow me home
Can’t you see I’m living alone
And lonely times they aren’t hard for me to find
Won’t you ever pick up the beat
My hand clapping track is lagging underneath
Gold intentions that I speak
Hot month mania knocks knees
Circle up on concrete
Sing our sins
I’m still
The cloud that rolls in
Fog that hides the mountain
Don’t belong by a fire at the ocean
It’s a drag seeing you with her
And i’m sad not getting what I deserve first
I hear that it’s for good
But I’d change it if I could
Good Place To Be Lyrics
This is a good place to be
Separate from anger
Under the leaves
Waiting for Spring
This is a good waste of time
Parting the plants
And finding
Something to eat
I’ll wait for it
Honey, I’ll fall to bits
Honey, I’ll fall asleep
Cooly calling my home to me
All that I own in one
Dome of deep
Droning memories
Murmuring to me
This is a good place to be
This is a reflection
Of what you choose
Just for today
We coalesce
Coyly asking all the best
Losing the urge of the
Earthly
Tickling throats of the
Thirsty
Grasping grass lush and green
We’ll wait for it
Honey, we’ll sweep a bit
This is a good place to be
SOME WHITE MOUNTAIN
Over some white mountain right in front of me
I imagine life is but a perfect dream
You finally see me how I’m meant to be seen
So if I’m lost along the way
Don’t start your crying
I could’ve been lost anyday
Now that I’m gone
You be a dear, turn my sheets down
Wait by the window until I come around
I wasn’t indeed what I seemed to be
Over some white mountain right in front of me
We agree our love is like an anchor
We believe our luck is in our song
So if I’m lost along the way
Just start your singing
I’ll follow your lines anyday
All the way home
You be a dear, turn my sheets down
Play by the window until I come around
It wasn’t indeed what it seemed to be
Over some white mountain right in front of me
NAME IN THE CLOUDS
What do you create
When you say my name
Into the clouds
My love for you is coming right on down
Into the waves and the rays
You ask of the Earth
You ask of the Sun
Tune in to up and downs
The tone I hum’s a humble one
I’m on the right side of your love
To keep wishing and hoping
I’m on the right side of the door
That just keeps swinging open
Call when you want me
My name is in the clouds
Dream what you need and
I’ll keep my ear to the ground
Oh when you’re in deep
My name is in the clouds
Dig on out, dig on out
My name is in the clouds
Now you know by noise
Now you tell by time
How sings the sky
My love for you is blowing right on by
Into the waves and the rays
Call when you want me
My name is in the clouds
Dream what you need and
I’ll keep my ear to the ground
Oh when you’re in deep
My name is in the clouds
Ethereal repeater coming in loud because
We belong hooked up
We belong hooked up
SYCAMORE
Wind may trace my trail to the sea
But fail me ultimately
Trade my ground for salt air and the sound
Of listening out loud
Bet if you got it you’d want it less than I do
Your own true love that’s faded away
Understand the heat you handle
Warms up the waves
Watch and toss
Fresh foam with our rocks
Long beach disappears into dunes
Dip my first in dark berry bushes
This tryst suddenly becomes blue
Bet if you got it you’d want it less than I do
Your own true love that’s faded away
Understand the heat you handle
Warms up the waves
And the sound of your name
Echoes callous and grey
So I’m careful to say
Away in other lives
Lost deep in the fog of losing mine
I’ll walk with you coming home
I’ll believe in other lines now
And wish for what is done
To lie down and see you out
When I return I’ll start the fire
A slow burn to dry the tired
I mist
You evaporate
So long
Too late
So long
Breeze may blow
My smoke to the sea
But I remain with the heat
