After The Rain

Nobody gets out of here alive
All the idiots love another rock ’n’ roll suicide
Step into the light and let it go, let it go
You'll be looking at a new man
After the show
So what if i'm not drinking anymore?
Got sick of picking my body up off the floor
Got sick of finding diamonds in your eyes,
In your eyes
I'll be looking for a new man
Between the lies
It’s not hard to see the good in you
You see the broken parts of me
You say the light is streaming through
You've so many way to say
What I barely explain away
You'll be looking at a new man
Here beside you
Someday our harvest is bound to fail
Everything we built together just hanging by a nail
Our river used to wind its way
Down from the valley into the plain
You'll be looking at a new man
After the rain
You'll be looking at a new man
After the rain

Wishes Gone

I wish I could see through horse eyes
I wish my skin were a place to hide
I wish I’d start where winter ends
And silence were a way to mend
I wish these pop songs were punk rock
And tender kisses ruthless love
I wish I were awake asleep
And roots could grow all over me
I wish I could build my home inside you
I wish some wishes would never come true
I wish I’d see, I wish I’d know
I wish I’d go where wishes go
When they’re gone, gone, gone
I wish for shadow before light
I wish the rain didn't fall right
I wish we had long notes for names
I wish the wind brought pouring rain
I wish this were a wordless song
And the words I scratched out weren’t wrong
I wish I could trade thoughts for deeds
I wish my wishes were my needs
I wish I could build my home inside you
I wish some wishes would never come true
I wish I’d see, I wish I’d know
I wish I’d go where wishes go
When they’re gone, gone, gone

The Sign

Left alone with a memory
Carving our names into the tree
Was it 93 or 92
I remember you walking on the water saying
"If I can’t have your soul, then I will take your name"
I hadn't been a lot of places
I thought that we would stay the same
My eyes were drawn to the city lights before me
Now years lay coiled in my palm, beads upon a rosary
Son you have your mother's eyes
Your sister has a beauty that she can't disguise
Now I have seen a lot of places
Come to recognize, I come to recognize
The Sign

Among Horses

Birds, they will breed
Hands, they will feed
There’ll be horses to break
Steep trails to make
Turn old into new
Sad into true
Work will be done
Songs will be sung
Shadows await
Blisters be made
Sweat dried by sun
Rabbits and guns
Despite the shackles we’re in
We will command
Farewell planes to catch
Farewell skies to scratch
Farewell fun to seek
Farewell places to be
Farewell enemies
Farewell buzzing streets
Farewell old sad me
Farewell old sad me
Despite the shackles we’re in
We will command

Santa Cova

At Pamplona we lost more than our horses
I lost my legs to the cannonballs
Is this the way they try to slow a good man down
You could never put my spirit in the ground
I was a broken down body with a lion’s heart
Spending too much time seeking in the dark
Counting years in the scales of a serpent’s tail
Oh righteous unbeliever
Follow me
Up at the Santa Cova
I left my devil laying in the shade
Lit a candle for the Black Madonna
I believed
Up at the Santa Cova
I left my devils laying in the shade
Lit a candle for the Black Madonna
I am alive
I do not want what i do not have
Counting wildflowers growing on the stony path
Dedicating prayers to pilgrims and the animals
Little children, cannonballs
When I was giving up my sword for the life of the lord
I heard a rumour coming down the line
A good intention is its own reward
Some people have a holy book but only read the spine
Not me
Singing I am alive

Stray

It’s okay to stray
Don’t be afraid to lose your way
Thunder’s rolling our way
But it’s coming to go away
It’s okay to stray
Don’t be afraid to lose your way
