The Carver 02:59
He pulls out his knife, and wipes his brow Another day gone by, hand put to the plow Wife is in the kitchen, youngin’s runnin wild The sun has set so fast, no time for goodbyes Work all day, and sleep all night Got no time for wrong or right Let the winds blow let the blue birds fly He’s got good vision but he’s blind as midnight Wake up mister carver, it’s Monday morn’ If you’re not on time, we’ll be at your door A kiss for your wife, a hug for your kin C’mon mister carver, you know what time it is She looks into his eyes Tears fall from her face She lays her hand on his chest To know his heart’s in place And she says I’m in love with you But do you feel the same? I married the carver But he don’t even know my name

A collection of spoons on the wall Hung by my loving wife She reaches for the bird food As the morning sings outside Many years gone by, my rocking chair’s just fine No need to hear their song, cause this old body won’t last long These boot were made for walking But they haven’t stepped in years The leathers torn and broken There’s not much to the heel Many years gone by, my rocking chair’s just fine, why open the closet door, I can’t wear those anymore Is life slipping down the cracks While I sit here and watch I must be too old to bring it back But something says I’m not

Just Let Him Be (free) 03:01
We came late one night, after hittin the town with my wife Ready to turn out the lights, but find we’re not alone Front door smashed, flipped tables and chairs I hear some footsteps up the stairs Head for the steps tell her “Don’t be scared” And she says to me Come back my love, Sure enough cops drag him out, take that son oh gun out my house Tell my wife he better be careful now of where he steps his foot Few weeks pass and nothings changed Hate that man still the same Go downtown hope to find his name and still she says Come back my love, Walking out to in the yard, saw the man in his car Couldn’t believe he would come this far, after what he did My blood boiled and knuckles white Ready to take wrong and make it right Then out the door comes my wife and she says Come back my love, Come back my love Come back my love, just let him be

Be My Map 04:37
Walking through the forest of my thoughts Walking through the forest I got I lost I can’t the way, I can’t seem to weigh out the cost The more I try the less I find, cause my hearts so blind Here I go again I turn around and I’m underneath an apple tree I look up and I grab myself a bite to eat I can’t help but feel the shame Adam felt when he sinned I left her aside along with my pride once again Here I go again Be my map, be my compass Be my shoes, that I can run with I get lost every time I look away Look at me, take off your glasses See me young, before time passes I’m running and I feel I’m in last place I’m looking at you…

The Fight 04:10
How can you write in words What isn’t meant for paper My heart knows something’s wrong My head says we’ll talk later How can I write a song If I don’t know what it’s about When the only thing that’s real right now Is reality of my doubt Am I losing the fight Am I losing my mind Am I losing my heart I hope I’m losing my pride Will I come back again Oh I don’t know when If I could turn back the time I’d never come here again I want to point at you But the mirror’s facing me Inside it’s sometimes bad But I can make it so pretty I feel like I’m alone ‘Cause I’m swallowed in myself But I know that you were sent to me To save me from myself

Come Home 03:50
Maybe climb a mountain, Or swim below Maybe speak to thousands, Or put on a show I never thought the hardest thing I’d ever do Would be spending so much time away from you So won’t you come home? We can throw away our telephone So won’t you come home my love? Without you I’m alone People talk about being alone But I never knew the feeling But now that you’ve gone away I know what they mean I know you’re out where you need to be And you’re coming back soon But dear it’s harder every day I’m like a dog howling at the moon

Darlin' 02:27

There once was a goose who lived on a pond He swam it all day from morning till dawn He'd fluff up his feathers and lift up his eyes To show off his goozle with glory and pride One day he was swimming and lost his breath And off went his goozle as it sank to the depths The goose with no goozle, He cries with every day The goose with no goozle, he goes his own way The goose with no goozle, he tries to make friends But the goose with no goozle he looks like a hen A hen The goose carries on, his head hung down low Til one day he sees a swan he don’t know The swan has a crown as she looks for her prince For a goose with no goozle to fulfill that wish The goose looks up, right at the swan She then takes the crown and placed it upon The head of the goose who once was so sad but returned the joy that goose once had The goose with no goozle, with the swan by his side The goose with no goozle, now calls her his bride The goose with no goozle, as happy can be The goose with no goozle, has baby chick-a-dees
