By now we’re off the carousel And I can almost tell, summer’s gonna lose you Allow for some weathered shell, seaside bagatelle To stand in for our time, warm your windowsill It’s still the same old thrill By now you’re midway down the lane, I’m back home again, wondering how to hold you But how will I avoid the pain, but to hear your name Crawling through the air waves, rolling down the hill It’s still the same old thrill By now September’s come and gone I’m out on the lawn, trying not to tease you Out loud, how to grow alone - curious, outshone Waiting in the light, like a whippoorwill It’s still the same old thrill

Jenny 02:45
It was a time of fences made of bones And a river of virgin tears She wore a daisy chain of lies And he was gone for years And the trials were bound to multiply As her temper gently seared She knew that her heart, at twenty summers Would be blinded out of fear No cold daydream of revenge And no escape from stone She was locked away for hours Waiting all alone When the bars were finally broken For to make their loving strong The last small glance, stole with care, Left her warm down to the bone She’ll be waiting till the rushes lose their light Not the crown you want to fight Whisperin’ that it’s got to be tonight Hold me, just be polite Well the days were troubled, nights long But their love it always grew He combed her hair, heard a knock And his arms she fell into And forever to part company Forgiven by those he knew Her one true Lance, filled with pride Had to hold and bid her adieu She’ll be waiting till the rushes lose their light Not the crown you want to fight Whisperin’ that it’s got to be tonight Hold me, just be polite Hold me, just be polite

Swept Below 03:25
Wrinkled coat, knowing eye String of pearls wrapped me round your little finger Linger, she whispered Had me at hello, swept below Wholesome smile, siren wave Golden chain’s now become cold on my finger Linger, she whispered Had me at hello, swept below Cleaning house, walking slow Found a coat with a wrinkle Learn not to linger, linger, linger Had me at hello, swept below

I’ll remind you, I just can’t tell you enough They all pass through All those smokers think they’re tough You've got ashes on your coat and a pocket filled with rain So you brave the night alone, With a little blue refrain Saw a june bug, I turned on the evening fan What I heard of Was a lost ship reaching land Got a glow stick in the dark, I hoped it could light the way Wait, it only goes so long And it’s on its final spark Have a lodestar and it’s always pointing wrong I invite you, go ahead and sing along You still have your old refrain And you wear it like a watch Open up, stay the same Compass hands are always I was northbound when you called me on the train It’s been five years, but your voice still sounds the same God I wish that I were free to say what you mean to me But you’re late again, again, again I guess it has to wait God I wish that I were free to say what you mean to me But you’re late again, again, again I guess it has to wait

Write Soon 03:11
Fancy that, the horizon Fancy a glass of wine? Sometimes we’re just talking Sometimes left behind Thought I’d go to Tahoe Sounds like you’re doing fine Cave Rocks on the postcard Sometime drop a line And I’m writing by the window of the room And I hope that I’ll be seeing you Well how did you finish up in school? Fancy that Write soon They say wonders all around us But I’m immune to its charm They could sing all in chorus I could give a darn I take out my old paintbox I start to paint the sky Wondrin' if you’re still dreaming Still ask yourself why And I’m writing by the window of the room And I hope that I’ll be seeing you Well how did you finish up in school? Fancy that And I’m writing by the window of the room And I hope that I’ll be seeing you Well how did you finish up in school? Fancy that Well fancy that Well fancy that Write soon

Language 02:47
Where once was fire in the night Once a circle burning bright Once we had no dismay Such a shame to hear you say We got language Hesitation My tired communication We got votive little candles Filled your space with imagination Where once hands raised to talk Once two strangers on a walk Building up room to say Maybe we’re out of luck We got people worth knowing We got footwork that’s worth showing Travel plans, well, they may vary Fill my space or I’ll get going We got language Hesitation My tired communication We got votive little candles Fill my space with imagination

Run straight for the cover And run for me a quick mile You’ll be my vagrant lover Lonesome vagabond smile Take me past this great snowfall And read me past this great tome A shimmer, a lightness Where I can be lone Where I can be home To your Chesapeake coat Bury me close to the lilies And shepherd me ‘neath a stream Kindness once so unknown I’d grown with a conscious so clean Down past the willows And swept along Wabasha A sweetness arose And there a great fall Where first I saw Your Chesapeake coat Taken down with such sorrow And led astray with such vice Then you would show me something Something that could be nice Bright like the first morning And blessed like the glow Awake in the night With eyes so remote Never we spoke About your Chesapeake coat

Lady love was sugar on the playground Mother nature she was the dirt Where do you go, where do you go Where do you go when you get yourself hurt? Strung out on a string Beer to make you sing A lullaby, a ballad from the sea Laser-vision quick, don’t it make you sick To represent yourself to the scene? Supposin’ that I knew you better Supposin’ that I liked your face Supposin’ we’d be back by dinner Could we get out of this place? Spinnin' little treats, fairy lights and sweets Anything to catch your eye Where do you buy, where do you buy, Where do you buy a pretty little lie? Little circles intertwined, an outline of a state A bird, a bat, mechanics of a bull Tattoo on my fist A little girl has paid for this To represent herself to the scene Supposin’ that I knew you better Supposin’ that I liked your face Supposin’ we’d be back by dinner Could we get out of this place?
