Because I Love You Too Much
I don’t know where to begin
I’m getting started again
I don’t want you to see
Because I love you
Because I love you too much
You think that you know
All the places I go
The secrets of me
Because I love you
Because I love you too much
When it’s good I sleep at night
When it’s good I breathe alright
When it’s good I can fight the dark
Because I love you
Because I love
Because I love you too much

Something In The Water
Got a black jack and a black cat came through
On the thirteenth went beneath a ladder or two
Cross my fingers it lingers and a sure thing’s comin’ through
Hey, here we are
And it’s gettin’ much better by far
Yeah, here it comes
And I’m startin’ to think there’s something in the water
Broke a mirror, it’s clear I’m doing well
All those lucky cents lay stuck where they fell
Had the tea and the leaves, now we can see what they tell
Hey, here we go
And it’s gonna be a hell of a show
Yeah, here it comes
And I’m startin’ to think there’s something in the water
What do you believe?

Roll On
Well I tried to stop a river
Make the sun hang in the sky
I’ve been at it for most of the day
It’s gonna roll on anyway
And I told the sea to stop rising
Asked the clouds to lie down
Doesn’t matter what I do or say
It’s gonna roll on anyway
You’re not buyin’ what I’m sellin’
I can’t tell you to stay
You’re gonna roll on anyway

Get Yourself Together
Never start, never end
What I want is really just pretend
Get yourself together
When I’m shot tumbled down
All I see is just a piece of ground
Get yourself together
Can I find all the splinters I have been
Put them back in place again
Get yourself together
Lick the wounds, stay inside
When I’m safe the only risk is pride
Get yourself together, boy
Call out but no one hears
Go to pieces
Get yourself together, boy

No

No
No sun, no moon
No night, no noon
No wind, no cloud
No still, no loud
And everything I ask
the answer comes back no
No sight, no sound
No sky, no ground
Nothing here to hold on to
Nothing to change or grow
And every whispers echoes no
No day, no year
No love, no fear
No way, no how, no more, no less
No support or institution
No places good friends go
My contribution
Is more like an undertow
The solution is no

The 3rd Side Of An Egg
Knock down
Get up off the ground
Brush off the dirt and the soil
Breathe in
Feel yourself begin
Soon you’ll be out and away
Get clear
Clouds disappear
Revel in all your sensations
Let go
Everything you know
Drifts like a leaf and away
Sit long
Right where you belong
Soon you’ll be up with the sun

On It Like A Narcotic
I’m on it like a narcotic
Everything is grand
Feeling some things that I don’t understand
I’m on it like a narcotic
Now my skin is warm
Buzz in my ears like an insect swarm
I’m gonna fly
I’m on it like a narcotic
Silver and gold
All the mundane is a sight to behold
I’m on it like a narcotic
This is for real
Now I know an explosion feels
I’m gonna fly
I don’t think I’ll ever come back down
I’m on it like a narcotic
Shimmer and shine
Ten-thousand volts at the base of my spine
I’m on it like a narcotic
Please never end
Quality time with a long-lost friend
I’m gonna fly

Sunshine Ladies
Sunshine ladies come back home
Whenever you want to
I’ve been in the dark since you’ve been gone
I can’t see my fingers
Won’t you please bring back the dawn
Is there something I can learn or know
I keep dreaming I will wake up
Lying in your glow
Gotta tell you, something isn’t right
I’ve been living fifteen years in the night
Sunshine ladies come back home
Whenever you want to

A Letter To My Son
My son, my son
It’s a cold, cold world
If you’re lucky you’ll find
Some lovin’ arms from time to time
You need it and it feels so good
My son, my son
You know I want you to sing
When you have no words to say
It’ll keep your demons away
And maybe help you feel okay
This life - you can mould with your finger and thumb
What you wanna become
My son, my son
One day you’ll put me in the ground
Before I tell you goodnight:
If you follow love you’ll be alright
If you follow love you’ll be alright

Sailor’s Waltz
Now I lay me down to sleep
washed in luna’s beams
Come with me into the deep
hold me in my dreams
Away from the stormy nights I’m glowing
always looking for the sun
Take me gently by the heart
fill me with your sea
If we ever drift apart
please come back to me
