Tread Lightly
03:34

An open gate an old dirt road.
Whoever farmed this left a long time ago.
I have come down here before.
I leave my promise on the forest floor.
I will try to make sense in a world fraught with arrogance.
I will be who I am. I will tread lightly on the land.
The holler fills with April rain.
Holds the mist in like an old refrain.
I can hear it as I walk.
Sometimes I swear to god these woods can talk.
I will try to make sense in a world fraught with arrogance.
I will be who I am. I will tread lightly on the land.
I will try to make sense in a world that longs for innocence.
I will be who I am. I will tread lightly on the land. On the land.

That's Beautiful
03:41

I called my friend, she said it's back again.
A lump they would like to look at, anyway
She said I don't feel brave and I don't feel strong
but I look myself straight in the eye and say
I am not the pain
I am not the fight
I am not the thoughts that keep me up at night
I am not the fear
I am not the pull
I'm so much more and that's beautiful
The worldly woes they pack a heavy load
and sometimes it feels like there's no end
So when the weight makes me speculate I
'll have to remind myself again that
I am not the pain
I am not the fight
I am not the thoughts that keep me up at night
I am not the fear
I am not the pull
I'm so much more and that's beautiful
We've gotta find some peace of mind somewhere
Remember who we are, recognize what we are not
We are not the pain
We are not the fight
We are not the thoughts that keep us up at night
We are not the fear
We are not the pull
We're so much more and that's beautiful

When You're Lying
04:07
|

|
When I was a young child with ringlets of gold
my mama would unwind every story I told
and if there was truth missing that woman she'd see
She'd say baby I know when you're lying to me.
As I grew older I spoke the truth
If a lie was told, my mama she knew
So I am quite careful with what I believe
and baby I'll know when you're lying to me
Don't try to hide those white lies where I can't see
Darling you'll find over time I'll know when you're lying to me
Now I am not saying you don't have your own mind
I am not all-knowing, baby that's fine
So if you're gonna stay out till quarter to three
go ahead just don't be lying to me.
Don't try to hide those white lies where I can't see
Darling you'll find over time I'll know when you're lying to me.

Like a Country Song

You oughta put on your boots and leave like a country song
In the morning when he wakes up you'll be gone
You lie down instead right next to him in bed
You make the coffee in the morning nice and strong
You oughta ask him what the hell is going on
but somehow he'd convince you that your're wrong
What kind of woman don't get mad when it seems that she's been had That she wasn't crazy all along
Oooh baby just move on, like a country song
You oughta put on your boots and leave like a country song
In the morning when he wakes up you'll be gone
You know I've seen you try and try but now all you do is cry
and it seems like you're already alone
If he finally figures out what's going on
you'll be miles away by then into the sun
What kind of woman don't believe you can go when it's time to leave
and that she was worthy all along
Oooh baby just move on like a country song.

As We Go Along
04:13

The rain comes down on this hot, dry, thirsty town
The fire goes out with the thunder's deafening shout
I've been waiting for that lovely sound, of water falling to the ground
All I know is when the morning comes
we're waking up, taking it up
All I know is when the morning comes
we're waking up, making it up as we go along
Forgive me please I'm still learning how to breathe
Love me still, my heart says that you will
I've been waiting for somebody who would see me, want me like you do All I know is when the morning comes
we're waking up, shaking it up
All I know is when the morning comes
we're waking up, making it up as we go along
As we go along we might be right, we might be wrong
As the river flows we'll sing this song
We'll make it up as we go along

Little Cowboy
03:58

What's so romantic about drinking and fighting
cheating and lying
and riding, riding, riding
off into that sunset you saw in your head
when you tired of our bed
and boot heels set to wandering?
Grow up little cowboy
I'd set you on course, except I ain't your mama and you've got no horse Grow up little cowboy
Maybe you would understand how to love a woman if you were a man
A good hearted woman is what you're desiring
sweet and inspiring
nurturing and open
and while she doesn't like all your rambling ways
beside you she'll stay
She understands you're broken
Grow up little cowboy
I'd set you on course, except I ain't your mama and you're got no horse Grow up little cowboy
Maybe you would understand how to love a woman if you were a man
You want someone to stand by you l
ike that old chorus starts
and when you hide you want me to come and find you
Bless your little cowboy heart
Grow up little cowboy
I'd set you on course, except I ain't your mama and you're got no horse Grow up little cowboy
Maybe you would understand how to love this woman if you were a man

Exactly
04:09
|

|
Story goes you find yourself
when you're not looking to anybody else
I've been told you find your way
when you stop running, when you learn to stay
What if I stay?
Would I be a fool today
If I fought the urge to up and run away
Would I cause a scene
if I stood up and said exactly what I mean
Broken hearts are the worst
all that aching and the god forsaken thirst
They will come and they will go
They will teach you if you care to know
but what do I know?
Would I be a fool today
If I fought the urge to up and run away
Would I cause a scene
if I stood up and said exactly what I mean
I stood up and said exactly what I mean
I stood up

Shelter
04:23
|

|
Time moves on
You turn around you are alone again
Siren songs
whisper sweetly as the wind chime starts to spin
You should know better than this by now
Come on in I'll give you shelter from the storm
We can burn the house down trying to keep warm
It's on its way
Now the leaves fall down, they cover all the earth
Chasing days
till a year's gone by since last December third
I should know better than this by now
Come on in I'll give you shelter from the storm
We can burn the house down trying to keep warm
We will survive, oh we will survive
Hold on on for dear life, oh we will survive
Come on in I'll give you shelter from the storm
We can burn the house down trying to keep warm

Gone
02:54

You wanted me to be
as open as the sea
accepting as the breeze
and I wanted to be
as solid as a tree
as mighty as the free
Well, I am these things and I always have been
and I'm seeing that now as I am leaving
You wanted me to know
how far you didn't go
how much you love me so
and I wanted to know
that you would have a soul
that you wouldn't be so cold
But I am enough and god dammit I'm tough
and I'm sorry my love but I am leaving
I am leaving
I am leaving
while I'm still breathing and time moves on
I am leaving
I am leaving
I am leaving
I am gone

Broken Vessel
04:41
|

|
All of the cracks where you came in
through the gaps in my skin
All of the words you knew to say
to make me believe I should stay
I was a broken vessel washed to shore
I thought you'd fill me up, I thought I needed more
I was a broken vessel swept to sea
I didn't know, the answer was me
All of the time I closed my eyes
so I wouldn't see through your lies
All of the times I kept you close
because I was scared of being alone
I was a broken vessel washed to shore
I thought you'd fill me up, I thought I needed more
I was a broken vessel swept to sea
I didn't know, the answer was me
Oh and then you would say
come back, come back, come back to me babe
Oh how sweetly you'd say
come back and I would come back
I was a broken vessel washed to shore
I thought you'd fill me up, I thought I needed more
I was a broken vessel swept to sea
I didn't know, the answer was me
The answer was me.
