Felicity
03:55
|
|||
I saw you again in passing—I knew that I would
When I was struck with the sudden inkling to go out in the evening cold
I often get a feeling that I’ll see you on the street
So I shape up my best smile for when we meet
Remember last September when we talked about our love
And you told me you had nothing left to give
Well I promise that I heard you and I swear that I don’t blame you
But I can’t pretend the feeling’s gone away
I’ve got to let this go ‘cause you are hurting me
And you do not give a damn for my felicity
Well I’ve found another lover and he treats me like I’m loved
But I cannot find any comfort in his touch
Because my heart is in your cradle and I seem to be unable
To be free from this attachment that I feel
I’ve got to let this go ‘cause you are hurting me
And you do not give a damn for my felicity
I’ve got to let this go ‘cause you are hurting me
And you do not give a damn for my
You do not give a damn, no
No you do not give a damn for my felicity
You do not give a damn about me

Little While
02:52
|

Winter shakes her hair out in the sun
Making diamond drop medallions of the ice until it’s gone
Over just as soon as it’s begun
Now the spring has come with melodies, begging to be sung
She says “I’ll stay just for a little while
Someone slipped a note under my door
It said “My heart is for the taking and I never wanted more”
So I left all my worries on the floor
Prayed a quiet hallelujah and I asked to know for sure
He said “I’ll stay just for a little while
Stay just for a little while honey”
After all the leaves turned brown and red
Time was up and he had left me for another lover’s bed
And now that all the curses have been said
Oh, I am left with only memories that dance inside my head
I think I’ll stay just for a little while
Stay just for a little while
Just for a little while

Noah
04:09
|

Noah’s been buying up all of the lumber for miles
He’s got it stacked high by his derelict shack
Those few who have seen it just wonder and laugh
They think that old Noah has cracked
Double by double he gathers preserves in his cellar
The postman leaves packages heaped on the porch
One case full of whiskey and two of black powder
He thinks that old Noah has cracked
But Noah feels a drop of rain on every sunny day
Sees the writing on the walls that keep him shut away
He knows the end is coming
The wiser ones are running
They build their bunkers deep within the mountain and pray
Oh they pray
For dawn! The promise will come with the dawn
Alight on the wings of a dove, an olive for peace
We won’t be destroyed in The Flood
All in God’s timing the sky finally broke on old Noah
The clouds poured repentance upon his tin roof
And instead of a flood that would ravage the nations,
A rainbow stretched over the earth
Now Noah sees a bit of sun on every rainy day
His face is bright with hope and light that fear cannot betray
No we know an end is coming
The wicked ones are running
They live in blow-up castles that will surely wash away one day
But dawn! The promise has come with the dawn
Alight on the wings of a dove, an olive for peace
We won’t be destroyed in a flood

In The Morning
04:46
|

In the morning, the sun will reach through your curtains
In the morning, the clouds will have blown away
And you’ll be sleeping, you’ll be sleeping 'til the morning is day
Your bones won’t ache with all these burdens
Your heart won’t weep with all its yearning
You will be lighter in the morning
In the morning, the grass will be wet with dew
In the morning, your robe will be washed and new
Your bones won’t ache with all these burdens
Your heart won’t weep with all its yearning
You will be lighter in the morning
In the morning, oh, you will be.
In the morning, I’ll have learned to forgive myself
In the morning, I’ll be free of my guilt and doubt
My bones won’t ache with all these burdens
My heart won’t weep with all its yearning
My bones won’t ache with all these burdens
My heart won’t weep with all its yearning
I will be lighter in the morning

Shimmer
03:13
|

Many roads diverge in the yellow wood
Hard to say from the start which is bad or good
But when you looked down one as far as you could
You saw greener grasses there
So you set my feet on the highland pass
Where the wind is slow and the views are vast
And you held my hand as we started at last
On the trail I’ve come to know
Hey ya
Ooh ooh
Hey your love is a constant shimmer
Ooh your love is as bright as sunlight on the water
Now it’s been some time since we started out
Winter bites at my bones but I’m all thawed out
And I fight with myself but I won’t sellout
On a path that’s meant for one
And the trees are dense where the water flows
Deep underground and no one knows
Where it’s going, where it’s been, it may be just around the bend
But I swear I hear the roar
Hey ya
Ooh ooh
Hey your love is a constant shimmer
Ooh your love is as bright as sunlight on the sea
Ooh your love is a constant whisper
Your love is a whisper always heard by me

For Long
03:58
|
|||
I was caught in the middle of calling it off
I had a ticket, a suitcase, and plans to be gone
When I heard a sound
The crickets were singing a song
You won’t be here long
No, nothing’s for long
I was caught in the middle of calling it wrong
I had a list with my reasons, the pros and the cons
When I heard my momma
Soothing my doubts through the phone
I’m waiting at home
No, nothing’s for long
Time knows no waiting
I won’t be mistaken
By living vicariously
Time takes no prisoners
A game with no winners
It’s up to the dreamer and me
I was caught in the middle of calling it off
I had sufficient suspicion I wouldn’t belong
When I heard a promise
Sure as the chills up my arm
You won’t be here long
No, nothing’s for long

All About It
03:29
|
|||
Summer came, heavy with promise of harvest
The beans grew a foot every morning
But you left in a hurry, your fields all a mess
You were not impressed with the waiting
You set off alone with a book in your hand
And your heart all tied up in a sadness
You could not admit you were looking for grace,
Hiking alone through the cactus
And you’ve read all about it
But tell me, my friend, have you found it?
Now each weekend brings Sunday again to my bed
But I’m sleeping with others than Jesus
And I’ll always remember the words that you said
When you told me you weren’t a believer
And I set off alone with a song in my mouth
And a hurt I didn’t know how to process
I have to admit I was desperate for faith
Hiking alone through the cactus
And I’ve sang all about it
Tell me, my friend, have I found it?
I’ve sang all about it
Tell me, my friend, have I found it?

I Smell Rain
03:51
|
|||
Summer’s been a scorcher, the fields have all gone dry
Everybody’s praying for water from the sky
You tell me not to worry, and promise we’ll be fine
Cause no one waters cornfields by losing sleep at night
And momma now I smell rain, I smell rain
Hallelujah, the drops run down my face
Hallelujah, oh darling we are saved ‘cause I smell rain
I smell rain
This season was a dry spell, I walked the ground alone
Just looking here for something to quench my weary soul
And father, I smell rain, I smell rain
I smell rain, ooh rain
Hallelujah, the drops run down my face
Hallelujah, they fall like amazing grace
Hallelujah, oh darling we are saved ‘cause I smell rain
I smell rain
