Traveler

I’m on my way
This fella has lost her faith
Heading out, for I can’t stay
Trudging down that road away
Trudging down that road away
Hear the whistle sound
Hop a car on the way from town
And we’re both so far out bound
Oh, it’s got that lonely sound
Yeah, it’s got that lonely sound
Pawned my tarnished crown
And I’ll leave it for the next one down
And it’s just an open wound
Got to get my feet back on the ground
Get my dusty feet back on the ground
I stand alone and
I’ll never have a home
This traveler can’t have a home
This traveler was made to roam
I’m on my own
These memories are carved in stone
This traveler was made to roam
And I’ll always roam alone
Yes, I’ll always roam alone
I’m on my way
This fella has lost her faith
None needed where I am bound
All I need is my feet on the ground
Get my dusty feet back on the ground

[Track List]

Tap

CHORUS: Underneath the willow branches
Dancing in the sun
There you’ll find the barley waving
And the only one
And the only one
And the only one
Whoa
Country boy you’re one more call
Away from home
Don’t forget your name and wallet
When you’re having fun(x3)
Whoa
Fancy dancing on the tables
Teasing all the boys
Little girl you’re only one step
From the ones you love(x3)
Whoa
CHORUS (x2)

[Track List]

Fate

Sallie Mae was a mother
And she knew their ways
Told them, “Be kind to one another.”
And they were all their days
Nona Mae was a daughter
She would dance and spin
She would watch and care for others
As she spun her whims
Mickey Ray was a father
And as proof he stayed
Taught those boys to treat their girls
In a loving way
Charley Ray was a brother
Never knew his place
Took his strings and lessons
Played the night away
CHORUS: And we know it’s worthless
Yeah we try all the same
Put that smile upon the face
Just to hide the shame
And it’s all been figured
Yeah we know it’s a lie
Yet we try to make our future
Until the day we die
Francie Fae was a widow
Buried her man in May
Taxman took his plunder
And she worked the next day
Ella Fae was an orphan
Never knew her face
Thought she could find a family
But she was turned away
Jonny Jay was a traveler
Took his ease in the wind
Thought that he could still find home
Always around the next bend
Jackie Jay was a hustler
Always with a new game
Tried to settle with a lady
But the tricks called his name
CHORUS

[Track List]

Understood

Did you know what I wanted
Did you know what I meant
Did you see those notes I left
On our bed(x2)
Did you see that star fall
Did you see that moon
Did you know that wonder
In our secret room(x2)
CHORUS:And I know I was wanted
And I know it was true
And I knew I was then
Part of you(x2)
There we danced in circles
In your arms time stood still
And that night
Your eyes said
Nothing was wrong(x2)
And that kiss was forever
That oath we both knew
That smile worth a thousand lives
We only had two(x2)
CHORUS
On the way it was dark out
On the way we were told
Open eyes out there
Out in the cold(x2)
And I lost you somewhere
Couldn’t find your hand
Where did you get off to
I closed my eyes again(x2)
CHORUS
I found you standing there
Indifferent and pained
You did not know me then
Even when I called your name(x2)
Did you know what I wanted
Did you know what I said
Did you see those notes I left
On our grave(x2)
CHORUS

[Track List]

Absolution

CHORUS: Gone away
Away from here you see
And on their faces fear
Their faces fear for me
But I’m not worried about it
Not worried about it
You see
Because I’ve gone away
I’ve gone away from me
It was a weakness near
A weakness near to me
And all that careful care
Carefully cared for was seen
And if you heard about it
You won’t hear any more from me (x2)
That timeless love
Timelessly loved
It was free
There’s no hope in love
No hope in loving for me
I’m not what was needed
That love I seeded wasn’t seen
But I still know it clearly
I still hold it dearly
This will be (x2)
I don’t know the answer
Answering why it was me
The me who stood there
Stood and grew roots like a tree
A tree in the desert
Deserted and withered
It leaves
That heart in the core
Cored to the heart silently (x2)
CHORUS

[Track List]

Intruder

Call me in
Enter my skin
Never know me
Hear my fear
It is near
Long to be free
Fear the hall
Not you at all
No one sees
Deep within
Not my sin
Cry to the tree
Just a shell
My own private hell
How can this be
Gone my soul
Just a hole
No more me

[Track List]

To Drown

There are times I don’t know
How to live(x2)
I was never able to
There are times I don’t know
How to love(x2)
I was never able to
CHORUS: Things cannot change until
Together we change things
Don’t let me break
Don’t let me drown again
If you find me and save me
If you catch me and hold me
Everything will be right
And I’ll be whole again(x2)
Speak of my sorrow candidly
You can’t think any
Worse than I already do
Try not to hurt you
But I’m hurting I’m sinking
As I(x2) always do
CHORUS
Done these things
To survive(x2)
Struggling now just to live
Not enough to survive
To pretend(x2)
Need to end or
I need to live
CHORUS
Chained in pain
It is one step and one day
Fighting just to be free
Sometimes I can’t bear
To be me(x2)
It’s not easy and
It’s not free
CHORUS
Slogging on by a hope
It’s so pale(x2)
For a love so deep and so rare
Wish that I knew
I were certain
It were clear
Trapped
My “resolve” is pure fear
CHORUS

[Track List]

Phoenix

CHORUS: Rise from the ashes
Phoenix rise again
Burned but not broken
Forget from where you came
No time in forever
No time in me
Hits you like a fever
Pack up the old time misery
CHORUS
Smother with a pillow
Frustration running deep
Flowing like a river
Those secrets that you keep
CHORUS
Angry like a mother
Best things in life are never free
Blackened on the surface
No believing what you see
CHORUS
Bloody like a promise
Salty as the sea
Missing like the lovelies
Gone away from me
CHORUS

[Track List]

Indelible

I walk in the rain with my head held high
Part of my heart weeps where you are
I walk in the rain with my memories there
Part of my soul weeps where you are here
I know what I’m missing and I know it’s too late
I made myself go and I
Changed our fate(x2)
My friend you are here in my heart and my soul
I think of you fondly I can’t let you go
My friend you have loved me so deeply and true
The fog of my misery kept me away from you
I missed your signals I didn’t understand
The timing was wrong now time has
Split our paths(x2)
While I can dream of talking to you
Telling you all I’d always wanted to
While I can dream of walking with you
Sharing our thoughts and I hug you there too
My heart had grown cold and I had lost all my light
Now we are silent ships
Passing in the night(x2)
I miss you my friend
Miss you and love you
I know you are past this
Have moved right on through
I miss you my friend
You’re so far away
Now my tears fall
I regret my mistakes
I left you there
Without a word and alone
And now it is shambles
And now we are gone(x2)
I miss you now always
I still deeply care
It’s been so long
But now you know I am here
I’m here if you need me
Like no time has passed
And I still remember what we talked about last
I’ll wait for you here and if you never reply
I’ll still love you dearly
And I’ll see you in the next life(x2)
I miss you my friend
I miss you and love you
I think of you dearly
I still dream of you
I walk in the rain with my memories there
Part of my soul smiles
Where you are here(x5)
Here in my heart(x2)

[Track List]

Converge

Well I started something
Something somewhere sometime
Way back when
When I knew that someone
Someone was one
One to become again
And I wanted something
Something better
Better than what I’d been
But I was not to be the one
Who knew who I was then
CHORUS: And out there somewhere I was waiting
Waiting for the day
When I’d emerge and we’d converge
And life would show me the way
So I went along there going nowhere
Nowhere fast and then
Then I knew I needed someone
Someone to be my friend
And I needed light against the night
The night that grew within
Within my heart there was a part
That knew I was no one then
CHORUS
So I cast a die to change my life
I took it all away
Away to go to be someone
Someone worth all the pain
And I put my old self on a shelf
To become new again
Then we wandered together and
I knew I was someone then
CHORUS
Now on this path
This path of ours
Moving where I can’t say
I see in myself someone who will
Love you as I love me
And now I feel this life is special
I was meant to be
And even if I fall or end
I know I’ll be someone then
And out there somewhere life is waiting
Waiting for the day
When we emerge
Our thoughts converge
And then we float away(x2)

[Track List]

Indigo

Indigo grows nowhere I know
Look in the prairie with my soul
Out in the prairie my soul flows
In the wind I think I know
In the wind I feel my soul(x2)
Always been old
So I’ve been told
But I’m getting younger as I grow
When I cared I was meek and mild
Now I don’t really care if I am wild
Just wild and free like a child
Just wild and free like a child
Started weary and cold
Now I’m strong and bold
Must mean time has a fold
Where I’m folded I don’t know
But I know I was folded when I was old
And that fold it hurt when I was old(x2)
Indigo colors me as I start to see
Rinse out my fears in yesterday’s tears
Indigo colors me as I begin to be
Wring out the last of pain of the past
Seeing, I am finally free
Being, I am finally me
Love who I love
In the ways that I love
Because love is all of me
Yes love is all that I need(x2)
Grown into my soul
My souls grown to me
My soul has set me free
My indigo soul sets me free
With my indigo soul I fly free
Indigo, Indigo Me

[Track List]

Discovery

In the twilight we start
In the darkness we part
And the lives we don’t live will pass away
Shadows are all I can see
The shadows surrounding come from me
But a shadow needs light just to be(x2)
CHORUS: Healing
Feeling
Welcome that old simplicity
Here I am
Here I’ll stand
Here is where I will be
As the twin suns arise
The moon becomes shy
And the stars of the night hide in day
Heat is all I can see
The heat is pressing, smothering me
But the heat without cold could not be(x2)
CHORUS
At the cresting they meet
With their eyes, they do greet
And the destined ones know of their way
Silence is all I can see
The silence waits, taunting me
But the silence, if not heard, could not be(x2)
CHORUS
Me without you is no me(x2)

[Track List]

End & Begin

Where am I going
And where have I been
It’s been a wonderful season
You’re a wonderful friend
But I am on the way out there
Yeah on the way home
Time again
And we met in the moonlight
And I’ll be out in the moonlight
Go on out there
You won’t be alone then
Where am I going
And where have I been
Was an incredible journey
Incredibly spent
And I want to remember
Spending it all here with you
And I want to see everything
And I want to be everything
But I don’t think there’s time
No, there’s no time on the wind
Cry for me
Mourn for me
But don’t forget
And I won’t forget
I loved you
I love you
Where am I going
And where have I been
It’s been a wonderful lifetime
Incredibly spent
And I wanted to thank you
I wanted to thank you
Again
