True Solace

Kill the envious moon
That's sick and pale with grief
In her morning sky
She chases me through the trees
The people are asleep
Soundly in the shadows
*Oh no we forgot that there are stars
Above our incandescent crowns
And you show me true solace
Listening to the sounds of the forest
Hearing leaves as they sing
There’s a house on a hill
With pear trees all around
A chorus of crickets every night
Why is the night sky shinin’
It’s lights in our eyes
Where does the dirt road lead?
*Oh no we forgot that there are stars
Above our incandescent crowns
And you show me true solace
Listening to the sounds of the forest
Hearing leaves as they sing
Hearing leaves as they sing

Second Arrow
03:11

I broke my guitar
The splintered wood sharp as a blade
Sometimes I get so angry at myself
The first time that I spoke my mind they left me full of shame
Just a lonely girl cryin’ on a plane
I stood with an apple on my head
I took my chances
The reckless ones always first to die
If I could turn back time I wouldn’t have to be so careful
A single shot,
An everlasting sorrow
So I shoot
That second arrow
No sinner can be saved if he don’t cry
And so I shoot
That second arrow
Hail mary, full of pain
There is a train in southern Ohio
Couldn’t stop in time
A girl drinkin whiskey on the tracks
No witch or conjurer
Can bring her back
Our mama left our home for good
To live in a dirt poor neighborhood
With a man that slept on the job in a factory
She chose to look the other way
When he stole the ring from her wedding day
sayin ‘ “No one can love you like I do”
So she shoots
That second arrow
No sinner can be saved if he don’t cry
And so she shoots
That second arrow
Hail mary, full of pain
Oh fireflies, calm me down
Oh fireflies, calm me down
I’m not God and I can’t
Always forgive myself
So I shoot
That second arrow
No sinner can be saved if he don’t cry
And so I shoot
That second arrow
Hail mary, full of pain

Takin' The Main Line
04:31

Go to foreign lands
Go without your friends
You won’t know how to speak
Till you have to speak for yourself
You can’t read your poems
Unless you’re really stoned
You can't figure out what to do
If you’re home all by yourself
Can you imagine living in the same house for your whole life
Mama drinks too much and keeps daddy in line
In line
Sometimes you’re better off taking the main line
And living all alone under the pines
You care what they think
Despite what you told your shrink
A deep-held need to satisfy
As the self-doubt magnifies
He don’t understand
When you just need his hand
Pick a fight at the bar
But you still pay with his card
Can you imagine living in the same house for your whole life
Mama drinks too much and keeps daddy in line
In line
Sometimes you’re better off taking the main line
And living all alone under the pines
It’s safer to be afflicted
It’s safer to be afflicted
It’s safer to be afflicted
Than accused
Can’t find no bruises, bruises
Can’t find no bruises on you
Can’t find no bruises, bruises
Can’t find no bruises
On you
Can you imagine living in the same house for your whole life
Mama drinks too much and keeps Daddy in line
In line
Sometimes you’re better off taking the main line
And living all alone under the pines

Cricket Don't Cry

The cricket don’t cry if it broke a blade of grass
The owl don’t try to make the night last
There’s a thunderstorm in my head
I let it roll, let it roll, let it roll
Through me
The rabbit don’t regret breakin’ some roots
‘Cause the old oak tree knows
That you can’t build a home without makin’ some mistakes
*Everything that I have ever done
Is a drop in the ocean
Everything that I have ever seen
Is carved in my tree
The robin don't know where her lover is
She doesn’t think much of it
She’s happy to greet the sunrise
With a sweet cherry in her beak
The lark don’t ever wake you
‘Cause you have somewhere to be
No she’s prayin to her sun god
What a blessing, who are we
*Can the rustle of the waves
Speak to the rustle of the leaves
Oooooo
And can any human being
Hope to know what it means
The cricket don’t cry if it broke a blade of grass
The owl don’t try to make the night last
There’s a thunderstorm in my head
I let it roll, let it roll, let it roll
Through me

Luna looks down on me and grins
Heaven only wonders what she knows
She follows me home atop the telephone wires
As silent and sad as the stars
Luna
Luna
She sighs as she hangs from the sky
She’s seen many things of other men’s dreams
And she’s still because she has none
And she leaves not an echo when she breathes on the sea
Nor when she lends a torch in the dark
Luna
Luna
Sees me with those big, deep eyes
She knows all the world and the universe too
But she’s happy to follow me home
And she knows all the world and the universe too
But she’s happy just to follow me home
