Wake of Dawn

So let's lay, let's lay down.
To the wake, the wake of dawn.
Cause all I need, yeah all I need
is time.
I had some friends that lived up north.
Just up past Spanish Fork,
where the colors flew threw us.
The times passed like angel dust.
I have been so alive, since I've survived
fifteen years of history, fifteen years of mystery.
Oh.
So let's lay, let's lay down.
To the wake, the wake of dawn.
Cause all I need, yeah all I need
is time.
So let's lay, let's lay down.
To the wake, the wake of dawn.
Cause all I need, yeah all I need
is time.

Peach Tree

I'm floating so high, I can see where the sky ends.
I keep going so high, I can see all the stars in the sky.
I keep going so high, I can see all the secrets in my eyes.
I awake to you, and I know everything will be okay.
Because what would I do, without you?
My dear peach tree, my dear peach tree.
I sing this song to you in the light that keeps you blue;
in the gracefullness of the moon and the talkativeness of you.
And I know that I'm happy when you're in front of me.
A great big peach tree.
A great big peach tree.
Because what would I do, without you?
My dear peach tree, my dear peach tree.

New Zealand

All of my waking moments are spent thinking of you.
I walk this lonesome trailway trekking home to you.
I'm heading for New Zealand, to Auckland I will go.
To bring my journey home, to wash these dirty clothes.
To kiss the feet of a cold hard ground,
where you were laid down.
Morning came and it shown so bright.
In the middle of the field a rooted tree of life.
I walk down to the river and spot a touch of gold,
Papa used to say to me "Now kid don't sell your soul.
'Cause you and I have been, too far in between
to say our prayers to the lord himself
in search of somewhere green."
Time will fly but you never really try
to get a grasp of reasons you've been working on why.
To hear the birds chirping, before there is no time.
Just take a step outside, there's a party in your mind.
You never really know, who will or will not show.
The melody comes to you on its own.

Snow Down Reel

Oh, oh the water is flowing from your eyes.
Down, down until the revolution's rise.
I know, I've got a lot to say to you.
I know, you'd rather wallow in the blues.
But if you sing a song or two,
it will come with you until the mornings end.
You preach that river watches over you
and all the politics are true
What will become of you, what will become of you?
Oh, I know where you go when there's no snow, you're all alone.
You're going back to your cold hard wood floored home.
I, I see the way you feel and hope to reel you in my arms
tonight is young and so are we.
Don't you see, that we...
Oh, oh the water flows from your eyes.
Down, down to the deep blue skies.
I know, you've got a lot to say to me.
I know, you'd rather wallow in the blues.
But if you sing a song or two,
it will come with you until the mornings end.
You preach that river watches over you
and all the politics are true
What will become of you, what will become of you?
Oh, I know where you go oh, oh, woah oh, all alone.
Oh, I know where you go when there's no snow, you're all alone.
You're going back to your cold hard wood floored home.
I, I see the way you feel and hope to reel you in my arms
tonight is young and so are we.
Don't you see, that we...

Cherry Wood Lover

She's my cherry wood lover like no other,
everything about her just makes me feel so alive.
Could never love another.
The emptiness inside is getting wider than her blue eyes.
Could never run for cover,
hiding mountain hero with the witch creek by your side.
If you give her love you'll get none back,
it will tear you down like a heart attack.
She's a killer, a stealer, a soul eater.
If you're lucky you might survive.
With a kiss of poison, her cherry lovin' potion,
will drag you down tonight.
She's my cherry wood lover like no other,
everything about her just makes me feel so alive.
Could never love another.
The emptiness inside is getting wider than her blue eyes.
Could never run for cover,
hiding mountain hero with the witch creek by your side.
Don't stop moving to the fallacy
cause I don't wanna be alone.
You took all that you could take from me
and now you want me to go?
You're a killer, a stealer, soul eater.
If I'm lucky I might survive.
She's my cherry wood lover like no other,
everything about her just makes me feel so alive.
Could never love another.
The emptiness inside is getting wider than her blue eyes.
Could never run for cover,
hiding mountain hero with the witch creek by your side.

Way She Goes
05:21

Today is the day when all of your fears come knocking at your door.
Who would have known it would be so hard but I promise you'll be stronger in the end.
The only thing you need is someone that you can call a friend.
Well here we go down this fate we never wanted.
Or here we stay in a past that is haunted,
but the truth is that we were never meant to reach the surface.
So here we go on a search for our purpose.
That's just the way it goes.
These streets are empty, this town abandoned years ago.
The dwellers all left and for why? No one will know.
But these grounds are sacred it's where our story will begin,
to defeat your demons and unleash the power within.
Well here we go down this fate we never wanted.
Or here we stay in a past that is haunted,
but the truth is that we were never meant to reach the surface.
So here we go on a search for our purpose.
That's just the way it goes.
Take a step back and you'll know, it was always your choice.
Should have never trusted a soul without a voice.
Take a step back and you'll know, it was always your choice.
Should have never trusted a soul without a voice.

Oh who would ever think of me to be the son of a gun,
pressed to the back of her head as she begged for someone?
Men dressed in black with a badge and a gun. No, no, no.
Oh who would ever think of you to be the one who should run,
her innocence in your hands as you ran towards the sun?
The wild west is just a place to go, go on the run. No, no, no.
Woah oh, oh...
Well I grab my posse and I went down to The Red, late.
Where everybody's just a feelin' so goddamn great,
I'm lookin for the man with a dead grin on his face. Oh no, no.
I see him down by the bar with some other fiend,
drinkin' like they going home to the distillery.
Well I'll tell ya Ace, that nobody rides for free. No, no, no.
Oh, oh, oh.
I grabbed his shirt and I pulled him up face to face.
I said, "You're coming with me you goddamn disgrace, you deserve to be with the rats beggin' for food on your plate. Thinkin' about what you have done oh, not how to escape. Did you enjoy the look on those poor people's face? I'm sure they'll feel pretty good when you're hung at the stake. I'll bring you in on my own, there's no judge you will see. I took the law into my hands you better believe you're gonna die a thief, you broken mind you will be screaming like a baby girl because you want to be free."

Purple Valley

Now I walk through the valley of death praying to a god.
Oh, so lonely my heart is somewhere in my throat.
Now go tell all the angels that I will be ready soon enough.
I climb over purple mountains preaching my sentence to the trees.
They love all of my stories of how not to be pleased in this world.
And I was so broken down I need someone to help me now you keep on lifting through.
Where were you when I was down I never thought to leave this town you think I wanted this?

Now look out to the desert and tell me what you have.
Look at all the plants around and tell me what you'll grab.
Now tell me, tell me if you will survive or tell me if you'll die.
Now look at all the friends that have seen you cry oh, oh, oh, oh.
Now look up to the mountains and look under the seas.
Look at what's in front of you and tell me what you see.
Now tell me, tell me if its good or bad or tell me if its rad.
Now look at all the men that made it bad oh, oh, oh, oh.
Now look into my eyes my friend, tell me what you see.
Look at what's in front of you, you can tell that its me.
Now if you wanna take a look again, all you do is ask.
Because evidently you're an asshole.
'Cause oh my god I am not giving up woah oh, oh, oh.
Well I will take what you have given up woah oh, oh, oh.
And if you fucking dare touch me again woah oh, oh, oh.
Well everything for you will fucking end.
