Family Tree 03:00
lyrics

Take me down, to where the boys are swimming Take me down, to where the black water is shining Take me to the family tree where the seed don't fall far Take me to the family tree where I can envy the love...that surrounds me Lake Henry's where all the boys & girls learn how to swim Lake Henry's where all the kids learn to spread their wings They play their soldiers on the docks on Fourth of July They blue eyed blonde haired fair skinned stock that's always askin' why, why, whyyyyyyyyyyyy?! Take me to the family tree where the seed doesn't fall far Take me to the family tree where I can envy the love that surrounds me We say, "come back in when the sun goes down it's time to head up to bed." "I'll ready you a story after we get settled and the fairies will spin in your head." "So don't give me no lip, don't give me no lie, 'cause only God fearin' truth is here." We hold our hands in the prayin' circle before we serve our meals. Yeah......... Take me to the family tree where the seed doesn't fall far Take me to the family tree where I can envy the love that surrounds me.

What Am I Doin' Here? 03:36
lyrics

What am I doin' here? Mulling around year after year My life's nowhere set up for going on the road. But I keep gettin' up and movin' on. What am I doin' here? Order me a shot with a $2 beer Because the drink will water down my pain And you don't even know my.....my name And I can't, even reconcile All the years, that have passed on by What am I doin' here, what am I doin' here? (Guitar Solo) What am I doin' here? The target is farther than it appears I am broken down to the point of no return I am the ant under a magnifying glass, how I like to watch them burn And you don't even know my.....my name And I can't even reconcile All the years that have passed on by What am I doin' here, what am i doin' here? (Violin Solo) What am I doin' here? Order me a shot and a $2 beer Because the drink will water down my pain.

Deep Down 04:53
lyrics
buy track
I see your sun on the window in the language I don't understand I'm searching for perfection, but it 's right here, in the palm of my hand I'm constantly thinking of what's wrong and what's right I'm afraid whichever way I go I'll get struck down with all your might I'm looking for your approval, waiting to feel it in my heart I'm always concerned with the journey's end, instead of where it starts. Chorus: And everything, is telling me a sign, of which, direction I should lead And these six strings, tell me everything that I never, wanted to see It just comes out, pouring out of me, and deep down I really want you to see I was a broken soul that landed on your door At the time you didn't even know what I came to you for You forgot that you had an appointment with me But something more wouldn't let me get up and leave So I called you up on my phone from the waiting room I will not give up until I'm fixed, do you think it'll be real soon?

Hummingbird 03:40
lyrics
buy track
I'm like a hummingbird with a broken wing I spin and spin and don't land on a thing If I could only sit still so I could catch my breath I'd hover over the trees until I found my nest Chorus: Come, sit next to me, when I was a little girl you bounced me on your knee Now, I pay someone to fix what you so freely tore apart So come sit down a spell while time mends our broken heart 'Cause I'm just like a hummingbird with a broken wing I spin and I spin and don't land on a thing Where is the love I wished I knew Where did my mama bird fly off to? I wonder why she never circled back to check On baby bird who may have fallen out her nest. So come, sit next to me, when I was a little girl you bounced me on your knee Now, I pay someone to fix what you so freely tore apart So come sit down a spell while time mends our broken heart 'Cause I'm just like a hummingbird with a broken wing I spin and I spin and don't land on a thing

The Deep End 04:27
lyrics
buy track
I am going inward, like a bird flying south for the winter I am trying to navigate this sheer rockface of you And everything that you tell me goes in one ear and straight through my heart. I know too much, but what I don't know is how to get out of this maze in the dark, Won't you take me into the deep end and help me find my hand to the wall I am getting so very tired of treading in place so long. Chorus: We take a leap and fall into the sky We talk and talk till the ocean fills our eyes But what am I doing here? and how do I get out alive? When everytime I'm with you a part of me dies I'm spinning, and getting dizzy from this spiral loop running through my mind. You always seem like the answer and refuge in difficult times So how'd I end up, in the deep end, when I only came to you for a light. We take a leap and fall into the sky We talk and talk till the ocean fills our eyes But what am I doing here? and how do I get out alive? When everytime I'm with you a part of me dies

Halo 04:55
lyrics
buy track
Every night, when I go to bed I have dreams of you encircling around my head Like a halo made up of legs and arms, Eyes and teeth and smiles and all your charms All of the time I'm in obsession with you I can't say it's love, but it's something new Like a plant that once thrived and now has gone to seed No longer replenishes or gives what you need. Chorus: Angel, don't cover me, take away your wings so I can see Angel, don't hold on me, I say I want to run but I want you to run with me... I'll tell on myself when I cross the line You'll assure me it's ok, and that it's alright Damn you seagull, you make space for that too You hover around the same old ground looking for scraps of food. Cause as much as you fly, you stick around And instead of swooping in you just stay your ground Like a halo, circling over the sea You'll be my Poseidon looking after me Angel, don't cover me, take away your wings so I can see Angel, don't hold on me, I say I want to run but I want you to run with me... Every night, when I go to bed I have dreams of you encircling around my head Like a halo, halo......

Today I Am 05:21

Today I am a small blue thing Today I am a prayer on a wing Today I am nails and hair Today I can go anywhere Today I know how to be a good friend Today I know what it means to live Today I have nothing to prove Today I'm out of the Hell that didn't allow me to move Today I am Today I am Today I am Today I am Today I am a heart on a string Today I am more than the sum of all my pain Today I am more than a hammer meets a nail Today I am more than what I feel Today I have my back against the wind Today I have the will to begin again Today I am heart & soul Today I finally found the half that makes me whole Today I am Today I am Today I am Today I am Today I am a small blue thing Today I am a prayer on a wing Today I am nails and hair Today I can go anywhere
