Turn The Horse Around
Stop, turn the horse around
Don’t let it go down like this
Don’t let it go down
Stop, put your ear to the ground
Don’t make a sound, my love
Don’t make a sound
We are lucky just to be here
And we are tender to the bone
We are holding out for something
I don’t know… but we are lucky to be anywhere at all
Stop, turn the horse around
When it all goes down, my friend
Where will you be found?
Stop, can you hear the sound?
She’s screaming for help, our world,
Her Howl like a Hound
We are lucky just to be here
And we are tender to the bone
We are holding out for something
I don’t know… but we are lucky to be anywhere at all

And Then Some
I’ve got many face
Different times and places
All of them are part of me
The perfect place start,
Learn to play the part,
And be what they want me to be
I have fallen, been broken hearted
I’ve been the one to do the breaking
I’ve been strung out, sober as a judge
I’ve done it all and then some
I wear many hats,
For different clubs and cats
How I feel and who I want to be
I’ve got many friends for different occasions
Some are good and good to me
I have fallen, been broken hearted
I’ve been the one to do the breaking
I’ve been strung out, clean as a whistle
I’ve done it all and then some
I’ve done it all and then some
I’ve done it all and then some
I’ve done it all and then some

Beating Heart

A Beating Heart Is A fleeting Thing
I shared with you the story of another time
When I was hopeless and swallowed by defeat
Part of me expected you to run and hide
But when I woke you were right there next to me
I swear you said you loved me in your sleep last night
Was that a prayer, a promise you plan to keep?
Maybe it was nothing but a dream of mine,
Is that just hoping or wishful thinking?
Tell me what are you waiting for?
Is there something you wanna say to me?
Come and get it while the getting is good
Cos’ a beating heart is a fleeting thing
I stared into the layers of your amber eyes
And I was tangled, tied up in your roots
No matter how I toiled and how I tried,
Surrender was all that I could do…
Tell me what are you waiting for?
Is there something you wanna say to me?
Come and get it while the getting is good
Cos’ a beating heart is a fleeting thing
I used to feel so wild and free
But I made choices that took them all away
And when I surfaced I had a moment of clarity
And I was broken but then somehow came to me
Tell me what are you waiting for?
Is there something you wanna say to me?
Tell me what are you waiting for?
Is there something you wanna say to me?
Come and get it while the getting is good
Cos’ a beating heart is a fleeting thing
Come and get it while the getting is good
Cos’ a beating heart is a fleeting thing
Cos’ a beating heart is a fleeting thing

Arms

Arms of Another
I’m going far away my love
And I will leave you here at home
Miss me you will but worry not
A love like ours is sure to hold
May the wind blow upon your back
And the sun show upon your face
May the moon glow watch over us
And be the light that guides you safe
Take this rabbit foot for luck
Take this locket for my love
Come to me when you get lonesome,
Not into the arms of another
You’re going far from here my love
If I can’t join you on the road
Surely my love will send me off
With something for a gal to hold
Take this rabbit foot for luck
Here’s a penny for your thoughts
Think of me when you get lonesome, not
The arms of another

Cupcake
I don’t ever wanna leave
I’ve got everything I need
A little house in the big country
Two hands to hold, two eyes to see
We are doing fine on our own, just me and mine
I can find a reason to go
I was having a moment, I was having a meltdown
God only knows where I would go without you around
I was having a moment, now I’m having a cupcake
Making love to my baby on the sofa in the middle of the day
I don’t ever wanna leave
I’ve got everything I need
A little hound and a big oak tree
Two hands to hold, two eyes to see
We are doing fine on our own, just me and mine
I can find a reason to go
I was having a moment, I was having a meltdown
God only knows where I would go without you around
I was having a moment, it didn’t look so pretty
Before ya know it, I’m feeling kind of shitty
For acting like a kid when I should’ve been a grown
And I say I’m sorry, but how can you forgive me
I know it ain’t that easy just to forget
So I say I’m sorry and you say that you love me
You say that you need me, so here we go again
I don’t ever wanna leave
I’ve got everything I need
A little house in the big country
Two hands to hold, two eyes to see
Two hands to hold, two eyes to see
Two hands to hold, two eyes to see

Facsimile Of Love

Facsimile
Send me on my way
Put the box back on the shelf
Turn and walk away
Cos’ getting through the day
Is hard enough without all of these painful reminders
Get your story safe
We’re only sick as our secrets
We cover up with the shame
We grow in our own way
Sometimes our roads will converge
And other times they will stray
We’ve been holding on so long
Trying to keep our footing
When you force something that once came so naturally
Facsimile of love
Send me on my way
Take it all back try to act like it’s all okay
Take it to the grave
What she don’t know can’t hurt her but it can sure hurt me
We have fallen out of love into tired routine
Try to manufacture synthetically
What grew out in the pasture from wild seeds
Is now a plastic package from a factory
Facsimile of love
I’m not afraid to be alone
I just wanna be remembered
As a good lover
I’m not afraid to be alone
I just wanna be remembered
As a good lover
Send me on my way
Put the box back on the shelf,
Turn and walk away

When I'm Gone

When I’m Gone
Well if you’re gonna leave, then I’ll show you the door
I already said that I am sorry
My apology may sound like nails on the chalkboard
But it’s the best that I can do
You may cuss and scream when you get angry
But I don’t mind I’ll take another lashing
You’re cute when you get mad and I know that it’s not funny
I’ll try to keep a straight face till it passes
When you get to calling me names
You can forget it, you can forget it
There’s a few things I just won’t take
You’re gonna regret it, gonna regret it
When I’m gone
Well if you’re gonna be like that pass me my coat and I’ll grab my hat
If I can only find me boots
I may be a prick sometimes, I may have a selfish mind
But there is more to me than you
I don’t want to put you down, I know what this is all about
And it ain’t about no messy room
When you get to calling me names
You can forget it, you can forget it
There’s a few things I just won’t take
You’re gonna regret it, gonna regret it
When I’m gone
When you get to calling me names
You can forget it, you can forget it
There’s a few things I just won’t take
You’re gonna regret it, gonna regret it
When I’m gone

A Song Is A Prayer

If A Song Is A Prayer
If a thought is a prayer
Jesus, I didn’t mean to talk to you that way
If a song is a prayer
I hope you don’t care when I curse your name
I sat on the stair like a cat in a chair
Curled up in my misery
You were aware I was plotting nefarious schemes
To get what I needed
To get my relief
I didn’t mean what I never said
I’m not the things inside my head
There’s more to me, baby please
Let me show ya
Is a song a prayer, well they’re both made of air
Someone sends and someone receives
I guess they’re the same, one is hurt, one’s to blame
And someone’s just their to critique
I don’t mean to stare but you’re skin is so fair
You’re everything I could dream
That says a lot, cos’ my imagination is a wild thing
When I set it free
I didn’t mean what I never said
I’m not the things inside my head
There’s more to me, baby please
Let me show ya
I didn’t mean what I never said
I’m not the things inside my head
There’s more to me, baby please
Let me show ya
There’s more to me, baby please
Let me show ya
There’s more to me, baby please
Let me show ya

The Only Way Is Through

Only Way Is Through
You can have the dogs on the weekends
You can stay the night sometimes
Whatever helps you get to sleep and
If it makes you feel alright
This is just a transition, won’t you keep that in mind
You can have the dogs on the weekends
If that’ll stop your crying
I take it back if I didn’t mean it, when I said I like living alone
I was just trying to be strong, love, for the both of us
I wanna wake every morning with you under the covers
Yea, I take it back I didn’t mean it, I was born to be your lover
I wish I could go to bed
Wake up when the summer ends
But there is nothing I can do
Cos’ the only way is through
I could get a job on the weekdays
Pouring coffee and growing flowers
It’s not that I need the money
But something to fill the hours
It’s only temporary, at least that what I tell myself
I could get a job on the weekdays
Oh maybe that will help
I wish I could go to bed
Wake up when the summer ends
But there is nothing I can do
Cos’ the only way is through
If there is one thing I have learned
It’s that you cannot kill the hurt
But there is nothing I can do
Cos’ the only way is through
The only way is through
The only way is through

There's Always Been Us

Always Been Us
There’s always been junkies, always been drunks
And fruit stealing monkeys in India
There’s always been hatred, always been love
Always been ugliness, mire and muck
There’s always been violence, always been danger
The sobering silence, the music of nature
There’s always been passion, always been fervor
Reason and ration, kindness and courage
When I look at you now I know that it’s true
There’s always been me and there’s always been you
The love we have found is nothing new
It’s as old as the valley the river runs through, my love
There has always been us
There’s always been death, always been life
Always been questions with answers to find
There’s always been people, always been lies
Always been mysteries, secrets and signs
There’s always been places that no one goes
Always been faces that no one knows
There’s always been strangers, always been fear
The safe and familiar, the foreign and queer
As I look at you now it’s clear to see
There’s always been you and there’s always been me
The love we have found is like the sea
Ancient, expansive and endlessly deep
The songs I have sung are not mine at all
They come from the Muse and belong to the Gods
The love we have found is sacred and pure
La Segrada Familia, the salt of the Earth
When I look at you now I know that it’s true
There has always been me, it’s always been you
The love we have found will always be true
Till the Earth and the Sun and the Stars and the Moon turn to dust
There will always be us

Outcast

Outcast
I don’t know why I am angry all the time
I’ve lost all control of my emotions
All the awkward silence, all the mental miles
I am the pariah, I am the outlier
All my life I have felt like the sick one, the outkast
The way they say, “Are you okay?”
The way they look at me - some kind of disease
No one knows the way, how or what to say
To make me feel like part of the family
I’m always on the fringe, on the outside looking in
All my life I have felt like the sick one, the outkast
The way they say, “Are you okay?”
I just wanna get better
I just wanna get better
I just wanna get better
