Red Moon Rise
02:52
|

|
Watching the red moon rise
Going right up into the sky
The world it’s turning, the moon it’s burning
Watching the red moon rise
Slipping through the dark tree line
Way above the old jack pine
The moon it’s rising, I hear the cries of
Some cat who’s locked outside
Not good or bad, not right or wrong
The moon it just do, what it does
And rises up (and rises up)
The moon looks hurtin’ bright
It’s a chasing back the night
And the shadows crawl, along the shore
A’creeping from the light
There’s a misty moonlit haze
Rolling all across the bay
We’ve got the magic rolling, and moment’s stolen
Have come here to this place

I'm Here
04:14
|
|||
|
I’m here, in the dream of your quiet night
I’m here, with the hope of each morning sun
I’m here, when the wind and the rain
Try to blow your castles away
And I’ll still be here, when you’ve done your day
I’m here, like the rose on a winter’s day
I’m here, when the spider’s webs are spun
I’m here, when you’re wishing that all
Of the false words would fall away
And I’ll still be here, when you’ve done your day
We once wandered through fields
Playing with milkweed pods
Sending out our wishes on the wind
Assured of all the riches this would bring
I’m here, when you’re trying out a new road
I’m here, when a new light moves you on
I’m here, oh I’ll be holding you close
If you’re caught in the shivering cold
And I’ll still be here, when you shine like gold
With all that’s been going on, I tell you it’s all right
The only things that matter in the end
Are the simple things like you were my friend
It’s all right, it’s all right, it’s all right
Oh it’s really all right
The only things that matter in the end
Are the simple things like you were my friend

Keep on Moving
03:55
|
|||
|
From the depths of northern lights
Red shoes, kill blues
Wear ‘em well and keep on moving
Ancient dreams and sacred rites
Old days, some lost ways
Take it in and keep on moving on keep moving
Take it in and keep on moving
Weathered fences painted white
Huck Finn, he’s a good friend
Read his lines & keep on moving on keep moving
Read his lines and keep on moving
Jealous crows and shiny brides
On track, don’t look back
Round again, to get it right
Shine the light and keep on moving on keep moving
Dirty towns and diamond mines
Black coal, big toll
Bless the souls and keep on moving on keep moving
Bless the souls and keep on moving
Crossroads coming, hold on tight
Shine the light and keep on moving
Shine the light and keep on moving
Shine the light

Rock My Heart
03:38
|
|||
|
I climbed a lot of mountains, there’s nothing I ain’t tried
Crossed over seven seas, all in one big stride
Even found a way, to get past space and time
The only thing that mattered was to free this heart of mine
So come and rock my heart, roll me in a sea of love
Rock me all the time
Rock my heart, roll me in a sea of love
Come rock this heart of mine
I had a lot of doctors, poke me black and blue
They took away my blood, and analyzed me too
Didn’t make a difference, no matter what they tried
Cause all that really mattered was to free this heart of mine
It’s static in here honey, c’mon let’s head outside
We’ll go and find a breaker and get moving with the tide
I need some agitation, oh it’s time to rock’n’roll
And get some palpitation happening way down in my soul

Parry Sound
03:27
|
|||
|
Oh honey won’t you come walk with me
Get off the hot tar road, wander off with me
We’ll climb high upon the rock
Oh honey, won’t you come and walk
We’ll head on down, the old lake road
Pass the bend where the Seguin flows
Take backwood trails, that call our soul
In this home I know as Parry Sound
Oh honey won’t you come ride with me
Maybe pack a chute, and fly with me
The water is never too wide
Oh honey, won’t you come and ride
We’ll cruise around, take in the air
The warm wild wind, blowing through our hair
Around the bay, to who knows where
We’re gonna ride, ride, ride ‘til the sun goes down
At night we’ll lie, upon the shore
Black velvet sky, pine needle floor
We’ll slip on in, through heaven’s door
Into deep, sweet dreams in Parry Sound
Oh honey, won’t you come away with me
To the water’s edge, by the bay with me
Spending forever and a day
Oh honey, won’t you come away
To the water’s edge, by the bay

One More Dance
03:29
|
|||
|
There’s so much more, I want to say to you
Will there ever be the chance
There’s so much more, I want to share with you
Another day, another song, another dance
Come on we’ll take one more turn
Whirling about on the dance floor
Changing our lives a little bit more
Before heading out, through the door
So many beautiful moments we’ve shared
Places that we’ve yet to see
Building our castles and living on prayer
Come and dance, to the beat, of your dream
Thank you for all the joy you’ve brought
The magic we found ‘neath the stars
Thank you for staying true to your heart
Even when our fortunes seemed far away
Shelter in the bonds of love
Through the winds and the hurricanes
May you always find new roads
To bring you back home, once again

Turn My Light On
03:30
|
|||
|
I remember when you shook my stars above
Lassoed my heart in your tangled love
I was reeling in confusion and loss
And then I paused
That’s when I turned my light on
Turned my light on, I turned my light on
And found my heart, when I turned my light on
Sometimes I’m walking through the dark
Shadows in smiling camouflage
Sidle up to me, feeding on doubt
I just want out
That’s when I turn my light on,
I turn my light on, I turn my light on,
And find my heart, when I turn my light on
Because the light in our hearts, shines near, shines far
Oh the magic starts, when I turn my light on
Clouds holding heavy with snow
Stray flakes by my window
Daylight fades, evening falls
Friends call
That’s when I turn my light on,
I turn my light on, I turn my light on
The magic starts, when I turn my light on
Turn my light on, turn my light on
I turn my light on

Get on Home
03:40
|
|||
|
Jagged branches and black crows
Broken walls where the wind blows
River stopped when the ice froze
And it’s cold, ah yes it’s cold
And the only thing you want is to get on home
Hmmm mmm, just to get on home
The only thing you want is to get on home
Where loving arms will softly hold you
Lonesome road and the sky’s gray
Endless crowds in a strange place
Through your tears you can touch grace
And you pray, ah yes you pray
I’ve walked this road such a long time
With some Guy Clark, a little John Prine
Each song takes you further in its own time
And you walk, this ground you walk

The Clearwater
03:29
|
|||
|
Head thrown back, voice rings out
Freest man I’ve ever seen
Blue eyes beaming, the light of the stars
Bathed in the light of your song
Take us along, sailing upon the new Hudson River
With your banjo and song
Rising up strong, voices in song, old heavens shiver
The poison be gone
The Clearwater, keeps sailing on
The trials you’ve known, turned some to stone
But you could not compromise
The truth you hold, could never be sold
It’s keeping the shine in your eyes
Take us along, sailing upon the new Hudson River
With your banjo and song
Rising up strong, voices in song, old heavens shiver
The poison be gone
The Clearwater, keeps sailing on
The light of the truth, the joy it brings
Knows no borders or walls
The hammer, the bell, the song you sing
Reaches the hearts of us all

When I'm With You
02:50

When I’m with you, the love just flows
Love flows, when I’m with you
When I’m with you, the love just flows
Love flows when I’m with you
When I’m with you, the joy just grows
Joy grows, when I’m with you
When I’m with you, the joy just grows
Joy grows when I’m with you
When I’m with you, when I’m with you
When I’m with you, the joy just grows
Joy grows when I’m with you
Love flows, joy grows, blue skies, when I’m with you
We’re keeping our soul’s flame alive
Not letting go not letting love die
Not letting go not letting love die
Holding on with the breath of our song
With the breath of our song
When I’m with you, the love just flows
Love flows, when I’m with you
When I’m with you, the love just flows
Love flows when I’m with you
When I’m with you, when I’m with you
When I’m with you

Roses & Thunder
02:45
|
|||
|
I was a young innocent by the side of the road
Big trucks rolling by, you stopped the wheels of your rig
Long enough to say, “Hop on board – let’s ride”
I heard rifles shoot out from the woods up ahead
Magazines let loose, “It’s an ambush!” you screamed
I said, “I’ve got your back; I’ve got you covered, it’s alright”
And it was roses and thunder down at roadkill junction
What was a poor girl to do
Playing it cool, taking bullets for you
So I grabbed the wheel, barrelled down the blacktop
My foot hard on the gas, eyes fixin’ ahead
Not knowing where to, just getting us, out of there
I came into this mission wearing holy cloaks
I heard your cry for protection, the air stank of danger
With fierce trepidation, I was going for higher ground
And it’s been ten long years on that road
I’m finally finding my way back home
And it was roses and thunder, yeah
Roses and thunder, hmmmnn
Roses and thunder, that’s how I remember you
That’s how I remember you

Strawberry Lane
02:41
|

|
Oh you and I, we walked down Strawberry Lane, together
Drinking in that old moon in the sky
I met you at the Lone Star Café
I was coming from nowhere, halfway to somewhere
You were heading my way
Our dusty trail, came alive
With the dreams we found to sow
We planted and picked ‘em, sometimes we baked ‘em
And served ‘em up à la mode
Oh you and I, we walked down Strawberry Lane, together
Drinking in that old moon in the sky
But did we reach a fault line in our hearts?
Did we hit the spot, where love stopped
And we could not get across
Now I’m back at the Café, on my own
Destination Turkeypoint or Rome
Staring aimlessly, my plate empty
Do I text or telephone?
Whoa honey, why don’t we give it one more try
Why don’t we see if you and I can still light up
That old moon way up high
And once again, we’ll walk down Strawberry Lane, together
Drinking in that old moon
Drinking in that old moon
Drinking in that old moon in the sky

Rising Tide
03:41
|
|||
|
A sailor’s gone deep in the fog
Rocky shoals, direction lost
The sun will come, the mist can clear
Will our sailor reappear?
A rising tide, a rising tide
Time to hold on, time to let go
Time to find, the greater flow
Currents swell, old ways fall
Surrender to it all
A rising tide, a rising tide
A quiet storm from deep inside, a rising tide
A rising tide, hmmm
A glint in the eye, a smile in the soul
Can spark the heart, make things whole
Set your course, shine your star
True to who you are
You raise the tide, you raise us all
When this moment’s gone, when the day is done
How will we remember our time?
Who was first or last?
Or the love we shared?
A rising tide, a rising tide
A rising tide, a rising tide, a rising tide
A rising tide, a rising tide
A rising tide, a rising tide, a rising tide
A rising tide, raises us all
