Rare as Gold

I came back from California
By way of Arizona
I spent ten long days looking for a place to hide
I saw the mountains rolling
And I saw the cactus growing
And I saw storms running on the desert sky
And back there on the West Coast
I always wore a rain coat
And my feet never were quite staying dry
But I heard there was a fortune
And if you bet your hand to find it
You'd be a richer man for the rest of your life
And I, I've walked forever
By every mountain, redwood and pine
And I know
I've been gone forever
But honey I'm coming back for you this time
And usually I do as I'm told
But I'm telling you and I are as
Rare as gold
Hold my hand in Appalachia
You know that I won't blame ya
If you search me out to see what's inside
Now I'm home in Pennsylvania
Heaven knows that I can't save ya
But I'd love to be the wind that helps you fly
And I, I've walked forever
By every mountain, every white birch and pine
And I know
I've been gone forever
But honey, I'm coming back for you this time
And usually I do as I'm told
But I'm telling you and I
Are as rare
And I coulda' settled down in Santa Fe
But I know we got somethin'
And I just wanna call it's name
And I could've messed around on those northern plains
But that big sky country
Got nothin' on this summer rain
And I, I've walked forever
By every mountain, hollow and pine
And I know
I've been gone forever
But honey I'm coming back for you this time
And usually I do as I'm told
But I'm telling you and I are as
Rare as gold

Water
04:52

I went weightless
Into the water last summer
Baptized in youth
The ocean 'round my waist
I have always been this way
I was always meant to
I've always had these thoughts
I've always told them not
Not to you
But I had something to offer
When I went weightless
Into the water
So I flew away
Into a sea cloud
Landed in grasses that looked familiar
I was never told how
And I don't belong here
But do I belong there
Do I belong to a place or a name or an old love affair
Cause I had something to offer
When I went tainted
Into new water
And all these people
In the crowds I walk through
They act like they're full on love
Don't worry, it'll never reach you
Cause I feel they're empty
But they don't listen to twenty
And I have something to offer
Aren't you somebody's daughter
Cause I was pushed down by angels
Under the water
Under the water
And someday I will find a place where I can breath again
Someday I will find a place where I can breath again
Someday I will find a place where I can breath again
And I will find it without maps and without oxygen
Cause I'd have nothing to offer
If I went nameless
Into somebody's waters
And I could poison the water
If I went nameless
Into somebody's offers
I want to drive now
Go 'till the sky changes color
I'll change with it, I'll learn how
To add and subtract it's wonders
I could move to Seattle
I heard it rains there
A good cleanse from my travels
But what about Maine
I have always been this way
I have always been this way
I have always been this way

Fire Escape

Ohh
Ohh
Ohh
I don't need a fire escape to
Tell me all the little things
You walk all over anyway
I can't believe it's happening
Again
I wanna go to sleep
But silence is so crippling
I used to want to have to say
The words nobody pushed me to
I used to have to bum a ride
But now I just get up and drive
Myself off into something else
Where at least I know I know myself
Ohh
Ohh
Ohh
In days where I could talk just fine
I'd say whatever's on my mind
But now I stutter all the time
It seems I'm getting used to it
I'll get the words out of my mouth
Just takes some work to spit it out
What do we even talk about
What do we make it out to be
I swear I almost had it
It slipped right through my fingers
I swear we almost had it
I watched you slip right through me
I guess I'll se ya when I see ya
I guess I'll see ya when you wanna
Watch all of our
Ghosts pass by
Together
It doesn't really matter
Cause nothin' ever happens
Don't think I'll ever grasp it
Don't think I'll ever see it
I

Milk & Honey
05:15
|

In my dreams I am a dancer
Telling stories without these stubborn words
They sail from my mouth like ships out of harbors
They're so damn heavy and most times
Never heard
In my dreams it's after midnight
And I'm running by the sea
The very birds that tease me in real life
Well they, they pick me up this time and they carry me
They carry me
In my dreams I am a cowgirl
I ride my horse with no hands
She just knows which way we're heading
If she lays down then I, I understand
So we ride into the mountains
And we find the highest peak
I look up to meet my Maker
But he, well he comes down this time
And he is talkin' with me, he talks with me
I often wonder
If I had
No scrapes on my shoulder
If I had
Never gotten older who would I be
I often wonder
If I had
Always gotten closure
If my glass
Always runneth over
Would it taste like milk and honey
In my dreams I'm in Connemara
And I'm rowing on the lake
All my friend's are sitting on the shoreline
Just having a picnic
On this cloudy day
And for the first time in forever
They all see what I have seen
No need to tell them about the outside
Cause they, they already know what I mean
I often wonder
If I had
No scrapes on my shoulder
If I had
Never gotten older who would I be
I often wonder
If I had
Always gotten closure
If my glass
Always runneth over
Would it taste like milk and honey
In my dreams we're all whole again
And my mom is walking fine
And my dad sleeps well at night
And we're all taking our time

Got me thinkin' bout the West Coast right now
And how I'm gonna get there
Got me thinking bout the West Coast right now
And how I'm gonna get there
You know I really wanna meet ya
But it's gonna be a minute
It's gonna be a couple
Got me thinkin bout the process right now
And how you gonna make it
And usually, I do as I'm told
But that doesn't matter now
Yeah usually I do as I'm told
But that doesn't matter now
Got me thinkin bout my brother right now
And when I'm gonna see him
Got me thinkin' bout my brother right now
And when I'm gonna see him
We're gonna get it trouble
And usually I do as I'm told
But that doesn't matter now
Yeah usually I do as I'm told
But that doesn't matter now
