With You

“I want to count the days with you, know each one by heart
A sweet embrace to start each morning, together or apart
Out from the thick and in the clear to view the home I love
It stands to rise above all that was alone
our home
my love
I want to make the most with you, beating hearts as one
Riding wild the straight and narrow
two arrows in the sun"

Of Vice and Men

“If there’s a speck of sense to see it sure don’t shine enough
by the likes of me
But I’m a good man, just a bit removed
a little temper can hide a lot of truth
And like a flame caught by surprise, my blood boils at the worst of times
But I’m a good man, and for what it’s worth
I’d the aim of love for all the hearts I’ve hurt
Don’t you know my lover, I love you each day greater than the last
You pay the price for a many vice, I keep you a rich man and still
you’re weak as hell and unfulfilled
When I’m a loner in a single room, the corner’s no one for me to answer to
I can spit! and I can wail! But soon, I’ll drown inside my own details
Swinging moods left and right, one day I’m up but then rotten by the night
I’ll feel alive and I’ll take you with
then I’ll brush aside all the warmth you give
And like a flame caught by surprise, my blood boils at the worst of times
But I’m a good man, and for what it’s worth
I’d the aim of love for all the hearts I’ve hurt”

New Love

"Though I can’t imagine you with another, I understand and I wish you well
This lonely wave’s gonna crest then start to fade
as we both settle down in new love
A new voice is callin’ you little darlin’ and my heart is skipping beats
It takes a lot of gut to keep my battle cryer shut
but I’m doing it for you love
And a man grows colder with a chip on his shoulder
so don’t pay me no mind
‘cause I’ll warm in time to the distance in our lives
as we both settle down in new love
And a man grows colder with a chip on his shoulder
so don’t pay me no mind
‘cause I’ll warm in time to the distance in our lives
taking steps to meet you halfway there
When pictures start to fall, space is showing on the wall
to start replacing them with new ones
Though I can’t imagine you with another, I understand and I wish you well
This lonely wave’s gonna crest then start to fade
as we both settle down in new love”

That World

“I’m lost in that world again
I’m downing a buzz, tuned into the fuzz, the faces I’ve seen and the places I’ve been of late
I’m lost in that world again
Summer is waving and calling me in
Her breaking a smile makes my heart beat all the wilder
And in the morning I’m filling with love
In the evening that big star is shining above
I’m hopeless, fallen for more than enough
The flora I’ve plucked keeps blooming and growing its spread
and I’m lost in that world again
I’m buzzed and I’m downing the sun
I’m snubbing the hard work for anything fun
When the balance is due I’ll just busk or I’ll beg you to cover
Oh lover, I’ve lost it again! I’m lost in that world again
A festival fool can’t get over the crowd
the days they add up, all the faces get cloudy
the person I should be is now wild as the wind
and I’m lost in that world again”

Weight in Gold

“Our well’s run dry but I’ve been told
Round the bend’s our weight in gold
We’re overdue, how heaven knows
a bit of brawn for our skin and bones
our skin and bones
Wide and shallow, pan it out, the tailings all will settle down
Wide and shallow, gut it up, it’s rush or bottom out
When a sea has lost its shore
things get deep from the caps to the floor
If we give what’s to give then we’ll get what we need
as prospectors with faster feet, our faster feet
Wide and shallow, pan it out, the tailings all will settle down
Wide and shallow, gut it up, it’s rush or bottom out
Everybody’s talking bout rakin' in
I don’t wanna be a fly on the wall of it
Everybody’s talking bout rakin' in
I don’t wanna be caught with these empty hands
heaven knows we’re better off
with Hallelujah as our song
glory be where the lamp shines long
If we give what’s to give then we’ll get what we need
are you worth your weight in gold?”
