We've Got Each Other
03:32
|

winter sky surrounded by pacific northwest pines
flames flicker and fade
flying in an airplane
wandering through ice caves
here we go again packing up all the boxes
another house in another state
another school and job to navigate
but we've got each other
we've got each other
we've got each other
like the sky has the earth
like the planets have the universe
we are together
time is moving by, stop and look around awhile
we're getting old, or so we're told
but no matter where we go
we've got each other
we've got each other
we've got each other
like the sky has the earth
like the planets have the universe
we are together
darling don't you forget
life is full of disappointments
unexpected news
dark valleys and avenues
but in the midst of it
constant holy magic
carries you through to mountaintop views
we've got each other
we've got each other
we've got each other
we've got each other
like the sky has the earth
like the planets have the universe
we are together

Long After You're Gone
02:45
|

|
two am towns on fire
flames rising higher and higher
who knew you'd come to
build it back up from the ground
this town'll love you all your life
it'll love you long after you're gone
rolling hills, a big pink sky
acres that you walk on
long after you're gone
years come, years go
watching the children grow
quietly leaving a legacy
she and you and all you've been through
this town'll love you all your life
it'll love you long after you're gone
rolling hills, a big pink sky
acres that you walk on
long after you're gone
she'll love you all your life
she'll love you long after she's gone
and when you drive, when you cry
over memories
she'll love on
long after she's gone

Scary Close
03:05
|

where did you come from
i've always been here
seems like i've known you for awhile
maybe so, but don't go thinking that you know me
i'm not saying that i do
but time as a way of showing layers
and now you're scary close
in the interior i'm
exposed
just let me play my part
get my cue
strike the set
come and go
steal the show
not in the script, but write it:
love it worth the risk
so true intimacy means getting to know me
takes a long season of cultivating
you say it's an acquired taste and
the harvest is worth the wait
most things good for us are not easy
and now you're scary close
in the interior i'm
exposed
just let me play my part
get my cue
strike the set
come and go
steal the show
not in the script, but write it:
love it worth the risk
where did you come from
i've always been here
seems like i've known you for awhile
and now we're scary close
in the interiors and exposed
and i will give my heart
stay honest
plant a seed
sow and reap
fight the apathy
not of the world, but we're in it
and love is worth the risk
it's all worth the risk

San Francisco Skies
03:13

mid-august says
empty all that's been
a new normal begins
this story unfolds
and we can't pretend
but i'm thankful to call you friend
i'm thankful to call you friend
san francisco skies came as a new life
i've yet to head west but i know a piece of what it's like
it's been brought to me here
after twenty-five years
and it's a good book read with a scenic view
on a windowsill in the middle of july
always listening and similar in hearts
yet many miles apart
when i'm looking for a light
you're never not casting a glow
a different kind of welcome home
you're a new kind of welcome home
san francisco skies came as a new life
i've yet to head west but i know a piece of what it's like
it's been brought to me here
after twenty-five years
and it's a good book read with a scenic view
on a windowsill in the middle of july

Zion
03:32
|

i started driving south on fifteen
tried too hard for too long
going down one way streets
and these mountains
slowly changing
the wildflowers are saying
you can't drown what grows
i can't go back to zion
parts of me are dying there
i can't give what you're needing
so i'm leaving
trying to reason
so don't look for me there
we had it all, guitars and views
no guarantees, just honesty
seems to be all we knew
do you ever miss this
stolen kisses
now every time i think about
it only says keep on
i can't go back to zion
parts of me are dying there
i can't give what you're needing
so i'm leaving
trying to reason
so don't look for me there
i loved you at the terminal
through the car door window
on the front porch
on the kitchen floor
standing at a cliff edge
did you mean what you said
will it ever make sense
i can't go back to zion
parts of me are dying there
i can't go back to zion
parts of me are dying there
i can't give what you're needing
so i'm leaving
trying to reason
so don't look for me there
so don't look for me there
i can't go back
i can't go back
i can't go back

Wide Awake
03:23
|
|||
|
in an old house
on a big hill
in a sunroom
tell them i'm doing fine
i just don't know how to love
but i see you in the sky
i see you in my mother's eyes
it's pretty like a dream
but i'm wide awake
in a white room
on the third floor
with a heartbeat
we're unsteady
tell them i'm not here, i can't be
but i see you while i write
i see you when i cry at night
i don't have to know what to say
and i see you now and then
i see you in the garden
it's pretty like a dream
but i'm wide awake
here i am thinking:
do i believe enough?
do i believe at all?
here i am thinking:
do i believe enough?
do i believe at all?
but i see you when i sing
and i can hear you listening
it's pretty like a dream
but i'm wide awake
i'm wide awake
