1 - Let's Go Let's Go Let's Go

There's a thrill upon the hill
Let's go, let's a-go, let's go
There's a thrill upon the hill
Let's go, let's a-go, let's go

There's a house honey, way across town
People coming from miles around
Put on your pretty red dress
Let's go see about this mess
That's it, baby let's git
And go way far upon the hill

We're gonna have a whole lotta fun
We gonna greet the risin' sun
All night long we gonna ball
Until we hear yo mama call
That's it, baby let's git
And go way far upon the hill

There's a thrill upon the hill
Let's go, let's a-go, let's go
There's a thrill upon the hill
Let's go, let's a-go, let's go
Let’s go, Let’s go, Let’s go - 2

Eee-yeah!
Everybody's gonna be there
My friends and yours from everywhere
Oh, what a time it's gonna be!
Come on baby, let's go see
That's it, baby let's git
And go way far upon the hill

There's a thrill upon the hill
Let's go, let's a-go, let's go

There's a thrill upon the hill
A-let's go, let's a-go, let's go.

2 - Someday Past the Sunset

Well There’s Something Missing
But They Won’t Drag The River
God Sends His Children
Out Into The Streets
You Can Dig All You Want
There’s No Buried Hatchets
Just Bones On The Table
Burn Holes In The Seat
And I’m Growing Weary
In The Weight Of These Days
I’ve Been Down With Dogs
I’ve Been Low With Toads
I’ve Walked Down The Road
The Old Hermit Won’t Go
And I’ve Felt The Holy
In Infinite Spaces
And I Read The Names
While They All Hid Their Faces
And I’m Feeling Weary I
N The Weight Of These Days
Yes I’m Feeling Weary
In The Weight Of These Days
Will You Meet Me
Someday Past The Sunset
We’ll Shine Like Chrome
With Snow White Angel Wings
Will You Meet
Someday Past The Sunset
Known By The Known
The Dreamers Of This Dream

And Stitch By Stitch
We Work To Tear The Seam
One Hand In The Sky
One On The Third Rail
Your Mind Can’t Be Free
If Your Soul Is In Jail
So Long Live The Chains
Set My Iron Free
And Long Live The King
When He’s Dead Like Me
& I’m Feeling Weary In The Weight Of These Days
Will You Meet Me
Someday Past The Sunset
We’ll Shine Like Chrome
With Snow White Angel Wings
Will You Meet
Someday Past The Sunset
Known By The Known
The Dreamers Of This Dream
And Stitch By Stitch
We Work To Tear The Seam
Behind The Door
Eye The Stone
Listen To The Voices
That Won’t Leave You Alone
Climb Up The Vine
That Leads Straight To Your Mind
Get Lost In The Jungle
Of Your Own Space And Time
Because I’m Feeling Lucky
In The Weight Of These Days

3 - Appaloosa

To be struck by the arrow of weakness
On the guilded path to forgiveness
To find my way home when the morning comes
To stay your friend when it's all said and done

Simple as lightning starting wild fire
Just down from a trip off my high wire
Just coming home to walk my own floors
Coming home to the one I adore

Appaloosa, appaloosa Appaloosa, appaloosa
Take me home, Where I can dream my days away

We took your tears back to the river
Knowing all the while there'd be more later
So it goes in a rainy day town
C'mon and won't you let me lay you down

Sometimes the sun makes beggars believers
And sometimes the shrine is built to deceivers
In between let oblivion ring
Oh let me hear all you sad angels sing

Appaloosa, appaloosa Appaloosa, appaloosa
Take me home, Where I can dream my days away

Appaloosa, appaloosa Appaloosa, appaloosa
Take me home, Where I can dream my days away

4 - Vibration & Light Suite

Fools suffer gladly in the face of fate
So I'll leave it up to chance
If it's all the same I'll leave the way that I came
Not afraid to join the dance

Tears of worry where a smile has been
Prophecies come to pass
Bathed in secrets washed in sin
A mystery to take to task

Vibration, love & light
Peace thru your darkest night
Vibrations, light & love
Peace in the valley

Another omen on an angry wind
Another debt to pay
At the end you must know where to begin
Another book another page
Tread lightly through the darkened space
Keep a candle on the path
Do not stop until the morning breaks
Take the cloth out of the bell

Chorus
Beyond the hills, beyond the dales
Beyond space, arriving there

The time has come my brother, time to weep and moan
The inward exodus from our earthly form
Time to hear the music emitted from the spheres
Time to dance like children on our diamond tears
Set fire to the sails, cut the horses free
Run the ship aground and let what ever be
Find a hole in the wall
One that no one knows it there
Pass on to the other side
Of the great nowhere

To lose your wisdom, to lose your way
Forget the dignity that you traded away
Traded for money, traded for gold
Traded for shadow that you now own

5 - Little Lizzie Mae

Little Lizzie Mae

What games you play
It’s hard to tell
When the rules will change
It’s hard to watch you take all my money
It’s hard to listen when you call me honey
Little Lizzie Mae
What did you say
That sent them runnin’
Down the road today
Did you accuse Sir Lionel
And his drunkin’ lady
Did you tell Fair Margaret
That her bus is waiting
Did you tell ‘em that The Peacock
Was burin’ down
That two cruel brothers have come to town
Did you tell them that the raven has taken wing
And flown off with their precious things
Would you could you Little Lizzie Mae
Spend some time with me
I know it wont last too long
And you might be the death of me
Don’t you make me say please

Little Lizzie Mae

Get out the way
Got things to do down on the farm today
Got something cookin’
Down in the basement
Some black magic recipe
And if you act nice I might let you taste it
And you can tell me what it is you see
Did you see the view from Empire’s Inn
Did you make the shadows your friend
Did you touch the ash feel the snake
Did you see the lightning over the lake
Would you could you Little Lizzie Mae
Spend some time with me
I know it wont last too long
And you might be the death of me
Don’t you make me say please
Little Lizzie Mae
It’s time to pay
Your dept is due there’s no other way
So stop your weeping
And stop your pleading
And get out back
Cause my dogs need feedin’

6 - Sorrows of a Blue Eyed Liare

Pale skies, last snow of spring
John the butcher, picked poor Robin Clean
Black smoke, tied to nine knots
The wheel of stars that wont ever stop
Hole in heaven, rain on the stove
Plough is crooked, lead won’t hold

So sing to me black bird, From out on your wire
Sing me the sorrows, Of a blue eyed liar

Grey prayers, what never can be
Salome words repeated to me
Thread bare, down to my soul
And when it breaks, no one will know
Hole in heaven, rain on the stove
Plough is crooked, lead won’t hold

Chorus
Rain on the old weather vein
The field where the bay ponies play
When love is just too hard to say
Silence is pain

A raven dies, all will then know
Lone black feather, rests on white snow
Hole in heaven, rain on the stove
Plough is crooked, lead won’t hold

Chorus

7 - Wheel Don't Roll

It’s the same old scene
It’s the company you keep
It’s a backstage drag
It’s too late, It’s too bad
It’s funny how the time has changed
Like a sea sick fool
With nothing to lose
And little to gain
Just a hat full of rain
To hide my tears of love for the song

How you gonna go, if your wheels don’t roll?
How you gonna get on with out a dream
Set your sails, Dig a hole
We all could use a little sympathy

Red wine, Sun rise
Hello, Good bye
Here is salt in your eye
Here’s to waking up high
And knowing when to leave
Well enough alone

Don’t live with the lie
That there is no time
To find love again
Hang your troubles on the wind
And sing the song to set you soul free

Chorus
Fire and water
Tomorrow, yesterday
You cant be here
if you don’t know today
Sons and daughters
Time to find your way
Let nothing come between
You and the love you make

When the curtain calls
Lights out in the hall
Make way for the day
Pack the old guitars away
Rest my head
And dream of my love

1 - Tulsa Yesterday

Tulsa yesterday tomorrow forever
Today I think I'll take my own sweet time
You can tell by my blues that I'm no beginner
Or just look into my eyes
I learned my lessons in the days back in the dogwood
Left some footprints in the deep red clay
Found my way past the temptations of plenty
Let the sound take me all the way
It's a low down dirty sorrow
To know the real pain of love
Somethings you own some you borrow
Until you let it go
Find a garden let it grow
And what you find
Let it shine
Let your chariot swing low

West wind blow my blood runs cold from to much trouble
West wind blow howl thru my bones tonight

Tulsa yesterday tomorrow forever
Today i think i'll take my own sweet time
You can tell by my shoes that i am a believer
Or just look into my eyes

2 - Rosalee

Rosalee you little country thang
Sure ‘nuff know, how to make me smile
You like the jangle, of my tambourine
Won’t you stay a little while

Rosalee, sugar sweet
How I’d like to make you mine
I’d take you down, to the county seat
You could take my name anytime
Is the air getting thinner, or are we getting high x4

Have mercy on a day dreamin’ man
My boots aint dry from the flood
Gave you my word, to do the best that I can
I understand this bird in hand, is better than two in the bush

Who do I see but miss Rosalee
Sure a site for sore eyes
I like the things she says to me
In a voice as soft as twilight

Chorus

And it’s all down hill, to the beach from here, Lonely
I’ve got something here to share, Only

Is the air getting thinner, or are we getting high X4

Rosalee you little county thang
Sure ‘nuff know, how to make me smile
You like the jangle, of my tambourine
Won’t you stay a little while

Rosalee, Rosalee

3 - Star Or Stone

I was 13th at the table when the wine was passed around
Amid an air of suspicion my glance was meet with callous frowns
If I was superstitious I'd be the black cat no one wants hang'n round
Dark whispers in the hallway accusations out of bitter mouths
Strange figures in the doorway a dog barks a drunkard's laugh
There's screaming in the kitchen glass breaks just then the lights go out

Let winter chase butterflies
Let the child believe in lies
Let the road run by my door
I can't stay here anymore
I won't , I won't turn back at my dreams burning on the side of the road
Sometimes it just goes like that
Falling or flying , star or stone

Close the window I just can't hear the highway anymore
Lay beside me and let our fires burn until the dawn

Oooooooh, Oooooooh
A telephone was ringing a heavy price on the other line
Outside the window a comet shoots across the sky
Between love and hope and money
There's loss and pain and honey
So take a spoonful every time
And if you don't like what you see
Don't come running to me
Cause I'm bound to my own way
I'm a million miles away
I won't I won't turn back see my dreams burning on the side of the road
Sometimes it just goes like that
Falling or flying , star or stone

4 - Tomorrow Blues

Tomorrow blues you know I got them today
I can't believe what my baby say
Lips are move'n all I hear is goodbye
Been on the road so long my shoes turned to sand
Looking for a good time girl who understands
Looking for a rose in the garden of thorns

You been begging for what you owe
And baby that ain't right
It's time for the truth be told
Time to shed some light
And let it flow tonight
Let me see you
Feel you be you
Before I head out down the line

Tomorrow blues you know I got them right now
If you've been Inside my footprints you'd know that I'm down
Looking up at the moon from a bottom of a well
Tomorrow blues you know I got them again
See I remember when we were best friends
I held her hand she held my tremble 'n heart

5 - Reflections On A Broken Mirror

Big gun powder and the Glasgow girl
Our lady of the highway with a string of pearls
Well I aint no modern masterpiece
New surrealist movement in the key of G

Oooh, ooh ooh ooh oooh
Oooh, ooh ooh ooh oooh

Well my baby loves me like an auto-harp
You see she plucks my mind and she strums my heart
We’re both victims of gravity
She’ll never fly away from me

Well you can tell by looking I’m not like the rest
Sometimes a broken mirror, reflects back the best

Well look inside my Chinese box
You have the key to every lock
It’s made of old chestnut and a lacquer top
Well once you stop you can never stop

Oooh, ooh ooh ooh oooh
Oooh, ooh ooh ooh oooh

Well you can tell by looking I’m not like the rest
Sometimes a broken mirror, reflects back the best

A vagabond child, has come back home
A walk through the clouds, in a sky the color of stone

6 - Beware , Oh Take Care

To you I'm just a memory
Something lost among the leaves
Something found along the way
And so begin these empty pages
At the end of a dream
Watch it slowly fade away
The slight of hand the bait and switch
All the parlor tricks have been played on me
I've seen them come and watched them go
Into the night down a road of stone
Beware, oh take care
I guess it takes a thief to know one
And liars live for broken things
Traitors just smile and smile
The actor has his black mirror
The poet a poison throne
To rule his kingdom alone
But I'm still singing the blues
Dancing that old soft shoe
I'm still drift'n from cloud to cloud
Never looking to come down
From hell to high water
Over that angel bridge
Out into the wilderness
Beware, oh take care

7 - 100 Days Of Rain

Pacific standard time, Georgia state line
Thread the needle, riddle my rhyme
Come knock on my door
The fools finger wears the crown
Time to tie, your ribbons round
Around the sun, around the moon
Around our Love

100 days of rain in front of me
I’ve been thru this storm before
Blow a kiss and wave goodbye to me
Soon I’ll be outside your door

Pick an apple, bruise a peach
You can’t learn, what you can’t teach
This ain’t dinner, it’s a feast
Just like old Levi
Hanging on to the hanging on
You cant make right lest you know wrong
Cant join the band unless you sing the song
So let bygones be gone

Chorus

Fair and tender lady
come take my mind and wander
Lay with me, until the stars refuse to shine
Be my dream thru sweet silver slumber
Beyond this morning past the gray walls of time

There is what we’re given,
there is what we gave,
what you lose, what you gain
There is what must be broken,
what must be saved
And what’s already gone X2

100 days of rain in front of me
I’ve been through this storm before
Blow a kiss and wave goodbye to me
Morning comes like it has before
The ocean always finds the shore
So let it be forever more
