Nothing Ever Happens
05:00
|

If by chance a stranger
upon your way should meet
and in the air....
the sparks begin to fly
a halo of fireflies
and everywhere
But nothing ever happens
and even if it did
it wouldn't change a thing
No nothing ever happens
and even if it did
it wouldn't change a thing
And if your thoughts are clouded
and lost along the way
and everywhere
The things that you believe in
won't stand the light of day
then be aware......
That nothing ever happens
and even if it did
it wouldn't change a thing
No nothing ever happens
and even if it did
it wouldn't change a thing

Elysian Fields
03:25
|
|||
Take me on down to the Marigny
Take me back down to that house in Treme
Bayou St. John in the Morning
Elysian Fields by the end of the day
Ghosts of St. James will receive you
singing them words that I don't understand
I'll fall right in with the second line
and we'll follow that grave marching band
By all rights should be gone now
and somehow it's still there today
from the waters it's rising
so when you're down know you will find your way
when you're down know you will find your way

Woke Up Dreaming
05:04
|
|||
Greetings from the outskirts
where the sun shines on the empty shirts
and the houses look so small
when you're not tethered to the ground.
Checking on the mainline
saying hi to those you find
you're walking on the offbeat and you're
stopping on a dime.
Woke up dreaming you were calling
and I feel like I'm falling
falling away from you
and there's nothing I can do.
Catch you on the offside
I think I'm going to need a ride
fallen to the way-side
but I see myself in you
Woke up dreaming you were calling
and I feel like I'm falling
falling away from you
and there's nothing I can do.

Cool Water Crossing
04:05
|
|||
Take the road out to twilight peninsula
sunlight in your eyes
lay me down by the cool water crossing
and slide on by
slide on by
Put a face on the dead of the winter
I know not why
watch the ghosts as they dance on the water
and pass on by
and pass on by

Two Red Lights
04:06
|

Two red lights on a moonlight drive
they paint the highway red
spinning tales like the gospel truth
that I made up off the top of my head
All the way from El-Arish
to the coastline of Port Said
Two red lights on a moonlight drive
give me what I need
Now there's a sound like the smell of blacktop
on a hot Texas summer day
faded and bleached like a photograph
on a page you filed away
and when the nighttime comes and the world cools down
you hear it rise into the night sky
Two red lights on a moonlight drive
they preach but tell no lies
No I don't know where the story goes
when the nighttime turns to day
but I know there's things that you cannot see
and there's words that you cannot say
and if my days are numbered
and my life were to slip away
well two red lights on a moonlight drive
gonna show me the way

I saw a light
by the side of the road
Burned clear after midnight
and helped me to know
the road that I travel
is a tough way to go
but it's right
Annalee
Rare are the arrows
that'll point you the way
and scarce are the ones
who would take time to say
and the lord he will find you
in his own time and way
when it's right
Annalee
Where were you when I was crawling
and broken on my bended knee
where was the light that would show me the way
to your door
Annalee

Ascend
03:58
|
|||
Hey!
and from the darkness you have found
you will ascend
Rise!
and though your feet may touch the ground
you will ascend
From the emptiness that binds you
to a place where they can't find you
you will ascend
Hey!
and from all tomorrows sins
you will ascend
Rise!
into the cool clean air above
you will ascend
And to all of those who doubt you
see the scene that lies about you
you will ascend
you will ascend
you will ascend

Paper Airplane
03:24
|
|||
Fly o'er the fields
through the streets
through the rain
paper airplane
Far from the sorrow
and the wreckage
and the pain
you are an airplane
a paper airplane
|

9. |
||||
We will rise
and we will shine
and you
will change the world
today
I cannot show you
things you will not see
nor speak the words
you will not hear
You are a shadow.
And you are so small.
And you
will change the world
yes, you
will change the world
today
