Glaciers 02:18
Sing about the sound of a Coleman lantern and how thin the metal cup was that you drank from and how cold were the mornings, and the sky was so wide in the high meadows that you left your father in, and how the glaciers left valleys as they moved through the landscape, How you stayed in bed when the knocked door opened and voices from the living room talked quietly, quietly, you breathed in your pillow and you overheard everything from friends of his that you don’t see as much now, and how the weather changed unexpectedly in spite of the forecast. And how the light through the venetian blinds came in. And how the blanket was warmer than you needed.

The birds are awake now the air is unhazing you are sitting there sweet stargazing tell me what you know We're just looking for questions to hell with the answers eyes wide open wings beat faster one morning more Your daughter will come home to you one day I'm watching you running there running with your pack I am sitting here cold and relevant tell me what you see You're making excuses excusing your art but there's paint on your fingers blood in your heart run with me Your daughter will come home to you one day Some folks have been asking for stories of their lives now she's a homeowner now she's a wife please won't you stay No more making excuses excusing your art open your fingers open your heart that is what she'll say Your daughter will come home to you one day

Sad Song 03:23
Sad song about being sad, a sad song. Lonely song about being lonely, a lonely song. Heart, be patient.

A hard place to leave; the curtains let in a little light Your arm the heaviest arm, your hair the darkest And the paperback book of your shoulders lying open, face down, to keep my place Your arm the heaviest arm, your hair the darkest The darkest hair and the widest shoulders Put your arms around me With the wrestle and rest of the evening all behind us now It’s quiet, quiet Your arm the heaviest arm, your hair the darkest A hard place to leave; the curtains let in a little wind Your arm the heaviest arm, your hair the darkest While the steadiest clock of your breath keeps track of the hours I will let it, let it Your arm the heaviest arm, your hair the darkest

Hayward 03:16
As I make my way down A St, It turns into a redwood grove, Then it climbs back up to the Heyer-part of the Valley To the Castle my father last called home. As I make my way up B St, It takes me to the Center of the universe. When will I let it go? When will I let myself go - Up D St, To the place where I learned my A-B-C's And all of these absolute necessities. I learned the fear of G-d. I learned what is and what is not. When will I learn to let go? It's the Fair-est view: Of all the high-ways, connecting this fertile land, Of all the bi-ways, protected by faithful hands, Of all my childish dreams, And all the plans that I let go, The hands that I let go...

Lifted Over 03:15
Probably should do something other than just Lying down here thinking how I probably should do something. Try to fill my afternoon up, Can’t remember how to do it. Then one morning, wake up different; Can’t pin down the time when I was lifted over that wall. Looking backwards at the country I’d left, I’m forgetting it already.
