It Like Dust And Feather

I know you you are the one
I opened my eyes on
and behind you was the pines
and their sky
behind them was the light
I'll leave with one night
and within them no grief
I will leave with them when they leave
nothing can break it apart
the death one gains at the start
it like dust and feather
travels for a moment or forever
a moment or forever
down the land
down the land
down the land
down the land
down the land
down the land
down the land
down the land
your eyes are on mine and mine are on the pines
if you see any light it ain't mine
I'll drop it one night
I'll drop it when I leave
I will leave with them when they leave
nothing can break it apart
the death one gains at the start
it like dust and feather
travels for a moment or forever
a moment or forever
down the land
down the land
down the land
down the land
down the land
down the land
down the land
down the land

Nighthawks
04:16

|
Nighthawks at dusk came with their two calls
with one like light and the other like loss
my sight held both neither one alone
I could make one stay make one go
there was a mark by no hand on that horizon door
how did you get there? no memory no more
back down the hills there was bone mire and husks
blue dense and frailing in those thousand dusks
but if there's one out there all the time
he is a mirror through inheritance
standing with the sun
in the spinning winds in the spinning winds
with the nighthawks calling loss and light
that line was scratched there in painted steel
above which suns echoed from each day behind me
in a window of loss in a window of light and below was a rendering
with a likeness of me before I could see
but if there's one out there all the time
he is a mirror through inheritance
standing with the sun
and he never left you he never left you
with the nighthawks calling loss and light

Nothing In The Wind

Soul
Soul
Soul
Soul
There's nothing in the wind
but not no wind
there's no light in the sun
no light in the sun
no light in the sun
but not no sun
no secrets in walls
but walls in hearts
and secrets in minds
there's no meaning in words
they crash like color
no will in your soul
no will in your soul
no will in your soul
but how could you know
there's nothing in the wind
nothing in the wind
nothing in the wind
nothing in the wind

Desert's Heart
03:44
|
|||
|
for the halfway winds and the homesick
ride ride ride
out after that burning red line
for the unhappy folks and the heartbroke
shine shine shine
burn a circle around you in the night
and for the desert as it cares for no one
it seems to have fear as its heart
give give give
and maybe maybe it always did

The Event
05:13

You stand out by the fence looking out past the field
a treeline black and a turquoise sky
what did I lose what did I leave I'm just trying to live
a fire on the hill burned for two years straight
and that whole time black eyes shined
within all those that were closed
smoke on the wind and you think you might know
ash on the water and now you're sure
and so you turn into that wind and you go
and on the wind is god and god is fate
every single day
on the wind is god and god is will
will you even try
on the wind is god and god is truth
please wind please stop

Raven (Knows Its Worth)
05:43
|
|||
|
spruce and fir in darkness and in night
a small light shines somewhere far beyond
and they wait and they wait
so long
and they wait and they wait
almost for ever
i didn't come looking for you raven
sunlight ends in you and night you bring
and in the world's dark you come and show
where all my effort lies
and none of it is any waste
even in sorrowing eyes
and above the river and above the road
is the land of the lonesome wind
with even the last of the living
sharing something with the end
i didn't come looking for you raven
i'm not looking for you but here you are

South Of Alton

south of alton
there was a blackened cross on the hill in the monsoon
and john threw it out in the woods for the rest of them
john threw it out maybe just for him
the half century still apparent here
the hollowed black trees all remind you where you were
and how is it or is it connected
to the black before
south of alton a blackened cross
south of our home you was all but lost
john threw it out in the woods for the rest of them
john threw it out maybe just for him
raven wing swept down the wash below
oil shale cliffs to house her first and her last soul
remaining with her what hurt her and the fire
still what she wanted is somewhere in this world
john when you sang of your daughter
owl flew over you didn't notice we all knew it was her
and as the twilight faded and points of light flashed
silent under scorpius and the triangle passed
south of alton a blackened cross
south of our home you was all but lost
john threw it out in the woods for the rest of them
john threw it out maybe just for him
