The day we went walking down town together Through the rain and sleet and snow How on earth was I supposed to know You were a ghost and my heart blue I couldn't see you from my point of view Felt like like a hole in an old canoe So I said, Why don't you phone home Why don't you phone home On a cold lake in late december Like a dog with an old raw bone Holding on too much to make it home We threw around a few bad ideas And settled on the one that made you cry I knew better than to ask you why So I said, Why don't you call home Why Don't You call home So we walk some more and hatch a plan We'll leave this little town in the old white van We'll travel to the coast and then head south We'll teach our kids our history by word of mouth
2.
We ran till we fell hit the bell and then hit the interstate too late You held to my arm cotton warm and then settled down to wait Again, again, again Our feet hit the dirt as we assert our right to feel in love, again, again The time it took to change was about the time it took rearrange our souls Again, again again This is why we fight. This is why change why we rearrange this is why cry. This is why we fight. This is why change why we rearrange this is why cry. This is why we fight. This is why change why we rearrange this is why cry. This is why we fight. This is why change why we rearrange this is why cry. Every little bit of gain we'd obtain we open heartily agreed, we'd do it again, again… I know why you hold my hand, ya I know why you hold my hand…

We walked until our feet were sore, had no where left to go. Except into the lake. Crystal blue nothing to do we took off all our clothes, so tired of feeling fake. Suffering from our hurt feelings Running from all future dealings Somehow we always knew it would boil down to this. One coin away from toss But nonsense has always ruled the better part of life, it’s just hard to walk across Suffering from our hurt feelings Running from all future dealings Ya, and when our feet hit the ground.. I can't be sure we won’t be found. And i feel like I have no skills, No smiles anymore for the forgotten ills. Suffering from our hurt feelings Running from all future dealings

I called around but no one’s listening The skies are black with ten thousand whispering souls The cards change hands, the plot is thickening How we made it this far know one knows Maybe we'll sleep or maybe just dream. Or maybe we'll keep floating down stream Annie do you trust me. Annie do you care. You and I both know, know that something's in the air And it’s terminal, we both know what that means Looks like hope again, but smells like dirty gasoline Maybe we'll sleep or maybe just dream. Or maybe we'll keep floating down stream And the times that we were near whoo who whoooo Were the time we had no fear whoo who whoooo And we both know, we’ve got a million more to go… Maybe we'll sleep or maybe just dream. Or maybe just keep floating down stream Are you OK, are you OK are you OK Annie…

I waited for the grass to grow long, to say so long But the principle was always the main thing So up we went and changed our names, she claims That it was always meant to be this way, aching Out of touch, out of luck, out of all the things that got us stuck Out of our minds, our hearts remind, life’s not the only thing that brought us here ohhhh… life's not the only thing that got us here. Ending all transmission from what seems a dream But I always knew that we’d come home in the rain Jumping holes and swimming streams, we lost steam But it was always meant to be this way, aching The whole damn thing hurts, am I out of luck? But uncertain circles, they call that love Because, because, because, because... I’m out of touch, and out of luck, out of all the things that got me stuck Out of my mind, my heart reminds, life’s not the only thing that brought me here ohhhh… life's not the only thing that got me here. End transmissio

I heard that sound like the middle of the night, when it wakes you up and you can't move from fright The dawn breaks through, and you attach to the fading night like as if I could reach you… And I want that back... Remember that time when it rained so hard and we went outside and laid down in the grass in the back yard, Faces to the sky opened our young eyes and we talked about the future we had nothing then. And we had nothing then to hide. And I want that back,, yeh I want that back, oh I want that back… but not like that. And I feel nothing now, deep down inside, but I guess that’s something so I’ll try not to hide my feelings. And I feel no pain, but that’s between you and me, because human is as human does, and it's all about concealing, your heart. You heart, your heart, your heart… And I want that back,, yeh I want that back, oh I want that back… but not like that...

Let Me Go 02:41
I heard you’re in love again. I don't need anything but I feel so alone I’ll be in bed by ten. Don't worry bout calling then I'll have the ringer off the phone. But I miss the days that we never had and the cool breeze as a young lad. When our feet could take us. Anywhere we'd want to go I thought we could take a stroll. Just like we used to do when we were young and we could talk. It'll probably rain again and we'll have to wait it out where that tree covers the walk. I miss the days that we never had and the cool breeze as a young lad. When our feet could take us. Anywhere we'd want to go We'll climb the tree. You'll sit by me. We can live up there. Cause there'll be no one to miss. And no one will care up there. Ya I miss the days that we never had and the cool breeze as a young lad. When our feet could take us. Anywhere we'd want to go… Let me go, let me go, let me go… let me go.

They tried to bury us. They didn’t know we were seeds So we grew while holding hands through the mountains of weeds. And when the sun won’t shine we walk blindly on Because the grass is always greener by the rivers of dawn They tried to carry us, but our feet work fine. We didn’t know how good it was until we could take our time Put one foot in front, lean on that one We don’t want anyone to carry us, or pull us, or push us and bury us You’ll never bury us You can’t carry us And I will not let my heart die.

Dad's Song 03:01
There’s nothing like the peace of mind here Smell of players lites and old beers And fishing line, that old tackle box, me and you And the time I forgot When I was young, and you were still young Before we moved away from Shilo When you let me drive on the farm when I was five And we hit the fence, You didn’t skip a beat that cold day I watched you back it back it on the lane say It’s just a car, and we had fun Now let’s go home, but don’t tell your mom Now your gone, and I kinda miss, all the things that we never did I know why, you had to go, but you knew things I think I’ll never know Ya, I’ll never know, I'll never hear, I can never ask, why you disappeared

about

A concept album. Nine stories of different people dealing with different stages of life. Some more terminal than others. Some desperate… some building from scratch. The heartbreak of death. A longing to start again when life is mostly over. A young boy with his father. A man that loses his religion but finds his soul. A last ditch attempt to connect. An alternate timeline. And above all, acceptance of life right now.
