Last Round Up
03:55
|
|||
|
We fix those fences well . Gaze across the open grass
We feel the end is near. Want this beauty to last
Chorus
Making way for the last roundup the last roundup again
Coming back for the last roundup , the last roundup my friends
We watch those bison run, into that big old setting sun
We had a real good ride, the Prairie was our guide
Chorus
It’s almost dead and gone, The grass they walked upon
Winters creeping in, we welcome it my friends
Hear voices singing yet, I just can’t forget
All the ones who came before . They all come walking thru the door

Light Of Day
04:38
|

|
Everybody looking for the light of day
Wanna go outside , wanna go and play now
Take it slow, gotta use your head. (or you’ll)
Fall back down, wish you were death
Listen to the people in the know
Follow all the rules you gotta gain control . Light of Day
Get down people time for a fight
Gotta change your way of living. Get this thing right
A liminal time of change and change
Nothing steady. All full of pain
Can’t get it all together. Can’t move it away
Everybody looking for the light of day. Light of Day now
Can’t fall back down to the way it was
It never fit like a hand to a glove
A Lott app people searching for a better way
Move on forward or get outta the way
We’re all in this thing together . Can’t do it alone
You gotta help somebody, weather the storm now
Light of Day now

Space Between
03:34
|
|||
|
All the space between. All the things that we dream
All the days when we......are apart
Oh it feels so strange. To play this waiting game
Sometimes it feels like we can never start
Chorus
I feel in the dark . The beating of a heart
I feel the space between. Your world and the world that I’m living in
I walk the prairie grass. Feed the bison. Feel the past
Never felt that this thing we had would ever last
You don’t feel the pain. Always up and you’re always sane
Telling me that this love we have is oh so strong
You’re telling there’s nothing wrong
I feel it oh so strong
But I feel the space between
Your world and the world that I’m living in
Your world and the world that I’m living in

Weight Of This Life
03:15
|
|||
|
I feel the weight of this life. I feel it every blessed night
Feels neither wrong nor it’s right
I feel the weight of this life
It spins and it sways. Pushing the bombs going off today
We might feel the pain. From another time and another place
Feel the weight of this life. ( I feel the weight of this)
It’s stronger than it used to be
It’s a future shock it seems to me ( you know)
It’s creeping in thru every pore
Just a taste of what’s in store
No one seems to lead the way. You got a greedy 1% just rules the day
We might feel the pain. From another time and another place
I feel the weight of this life ( I feel the weight of this)
I feel the weight of this
I feel it every blessed . I feel the weight of this life
I feel it’s every blessed. Even when it’s less than
I feel the weight of this life
It spins and it sways. Pushing the love growing stronger every day
We might feel the pain . From another time , another place
I feel the weight of this life

Those Days
04:02
|
|||
|
When I sit and I think about those days
I can’t believe they just up and walked away
They’re flowing by like a clear driven stream
Not making waves, not causing a scene
When I sit and think about those days
Got all this time to sit and try and play
Hard sometimes to find anything to say
Maybe capture a moment or interpret my dreams
Take stock of this life and all that it means
Got all this time to sit and try and play
Chorus
So I just sit and try to play
Even if I don’t have anything to say
It really doesn’t matter anyway
When I sit on down and drift away
I’m so lucky I’ve got these friends surrounding me
They prop me up when my knees can’t carry me
They let me sing and play way into the night
Expanding my mind, making everything right
I’m so lucky I’ve got these friends surrounding me
Chorus
I’m so lucky I can see
This big big love surrounding me
Some kind of hurricane indeed
When I sit and think about those days

Thin Ice
04:13
|
|||
|
Skating on the ice that is so thin
Wondering will it hold, long enough for us to
Fold ourselves away and go below
This is not the right response
To the troubles that we face
It’s time to step up to the plate my friends
And show your sense of grace , show your sense of grace
Don’t look the other way
Spread all your love today. From place to place
Wondering if things can stay this way
Knowing that they won’t
No not for just one single day or one minute or one note
Total chaos it is without.....the benefit of a boat
Most of the time we are surrounded by many solid ghosts
So many solid ghosts
They’re just rising right off the floor
Like shooting stars from way before. Way before
Skating on the ice that is so thin, I’m wondering
Will it hold

Driving into the sunlight, toward Waterton town
Looking Chief right in the face, trying to put the hammer down
You’ve got elk on the road, fire in the sky
Clear up to Porcupine Hills
The world’s on fire and all I know is I’m searching for another gear
Chorus
I’m searching searching searching for another gear
I’m searching searching to take it right over the hill
Just look at the taillights to see where you came from
Gotta find some cosmic fuel, to get old wreck on the run
Nobody can help you, you gotta find it for yourself
So get up, put it gear, time to get down off the shelf
Chorus
Bridge
The world is hinting, old man shut it down
Fold up your tent and head out of town
Always had a big ego anyway
For the time being, I’ll just stay.......and play

Make It Right
03:19
|
|||
|
Everything I thought I knew, turned upside down
The second that I started with you
You opened up a lotta doors, I never knew before
Oh baby baby, you’re the Queen
Chorus
It’s a big big love . Brighter than the stars above
And it feels so right, every single night
Trying to make it right. Trying to make it right
I had to pick myself up off of that craving train
Put an end to all my misery and invent myself again and again
Then she came along, calling my name
You know at my age, I thought I’d seen just about everything
Trying to make it right
You know it’s hard to describe, or pin down or quantify
All about that energy, everyday it comes to me
Trying to make it right

Plain As Day
04:25
|
|||
|
Right before our eyes, you see it everyday
Can’t spin no more lies. It’s plain as day
The truth it hurts. Gotta have it’s say
Silence not the answer. Just a lack of courage
Gotta stand right up, channel fury
Get something done, too long been buried
Hatred evolved into something else
Love and only love can heal thepast
Reconcile mistakes with a better plan
Help one another, gotta help one another
Then you help yourself
Long past time, to end the madness
All the broken dreams, all the sadness
Can’t escape the truth and hide all this badness
Gotta push ourselves from our comfort zone
No compromise, bring that victory home
Can’t solve this mess, talkin on the phone
Hatred evolved into something else
Even children know it’s a false pretense
It’s not only wrong, it just makes no sense
Help one another, gotta help one another
Gotta help one another
Then you help yourself
